  • Katy Perry didn’t waste any time taking I Kissed A Girl to the top, where she not only went to #1 on the Billboard chart made a bit of history as well.  Her song became the 1,000th "Hot 100" #1 in what is commonly known as the "rock era"–which began with Rock Around The Clock hitting the top spot in 1955…
  • Auditions for season 8 of American Idol will get underway soon, with a first session in San Francisco July 17–get the complete schedule from the official American Idol website.  Producers hope they will find the next Kelly, Carrie, Daughtry, Jordin or David–and pray they don’t turn into Reuben, Fantasia, or Taylor…
  • Madonna’s concert promotor Live Nation quashed any rumors about poor sales for her Sticky And Sweet tour, announcing Thursday that she has sold over a million tickets so far–representing 90 percent of all available seats for the tour.  So far, she’s sold out dates in New York, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Toronto, Montreal, Paris and Mexico City–and, if reports are true, her husband as well…
  • Amy Winehouse admits in a Rolling Stone interview that while she was in rehab at her record company’s request, she, quote, "did drugs the whole time".  Well, that’s certainly a step in the right direction…
  • Mr. "Mini-Me" Verne Troyer has struck back at an effort to release a sex tape of him and an ex-girlfriend, filing a $20 million violation-of-privacy and copyright-infringement suit against tabloid website TMZ for airing portions of the tape on their site and TV show.  How embarassing it must be for him, imagining people watching him like that and saying, "How can he do that without falling down?"
  • Paris Hilton has reportedly made a "generous" donation toward the construction of a new medical building on the site of LA’s Children’s Hospital, where she volunteered following her jail sentence last year.  This is either the effect of her romance with Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden, or a mistaken attempt to buy some shoes…

  • Rihanna continues to insist that she and Chris Brown are just friends, telling ABC’s The View on Monday, "We are not dating"–meanwhile, gossip reports quote Chris’ mom as saying, "Rihanna is the sweetest and sexiest girl Chris has ever dated."  These two are not dating about as much as J-Lo wasn’t pregnant…
  • Katy Perry of I Kissed A Girl fame has definitely got boys on her mind, as Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes told a reporter that he bought her a "promise ring" and that he wears a silver band with "Katy" inscribed on it.  That is definitely cute, but I was sort of expecting matching nose rings or tattoos…
  • The slow housing market has affected Usher’s plans to sell his Atlanta home–he’s cut the asking price $300,000 to an even $2 million.  Maybe if he offered to do a couple of free shows for the new owners, he could seal the deal…
  • Amy Winehouse’s dad Mitch has backed off his claim that she has early-stage emphysema, telling BBC Radio Monday that she has "traces of emphysema…obviously if she doesn’t quit smoking, it’s gonna get worse".  This is either spin from her publicist, or Pops is hitting the pipe too…
  • Even more photographers have come forward to say they were also attacked by a group of surfers while trying to get shots of Matthew McConaughey riding the waves.  McConauahey reportedly had nothing to do with the alleged altercation–unless they thought he was serious about giving them parts in Jaws 4
  • An Idaho judge has thrown out a $2.5 million lawsuit filed by Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, who claimed the contractor who built their home made numerous "design deficiencies, errors and omissions".  They plan to appeal the decision–I’m pretty sure Hanks has no interest in having his own real-life Money Pit sequel…

  • Amy Winehouse continues to provide enough drama for both sides of the Atlantic, as she was rushed to the hospital yesterday after fainting and losing conciousness while at home.  Normally this is not a problem, since there’s almost always someone handy with enough crack or heroin to bring her back to life…
  • Katy Perry’s hit I Kissed A Girl is scorching the charts right now, and she says it was inspired by the photos of beautiful women that seem to be everywhere, adding, "If one of these girls were to walk into the room, there’d be no doubt in your mind, male or female, [that] if they asked you to kiss them, you probably would pucker up!"  Her debut album One Of The Boys, which features the hit, is in stores today…
  • Britney Spears had the last laugh in the case of a paparazzo who filed criminal charges against her, claiming she ran over his foot with her car–prosecutors who reviewed police reports and videotape of the alleged incident concluded the photog had actually put his foot in the way.   This guy makes K-Fed look like a Nobel Prize winner…
  • TV Guide’s poll of the Top 10 Reality TV Villains puts Omarosa  of The Aprentice fame at #1–and this follows her topping another poll by the magazine in 2005 where she was picked "The Most Hated Reality Star Of All Time".  Well, she’s nothing if not consistent…
  • Filming for a prequel to The Da Vinci Code is underway in Rome, where Vatican officials say crews will not be permitted to film inside two churches there.  Ironically, several synagogues in the area were more than happy to help…
  • Chanel’s newest celebrity spokeswoman is none other than Emma Watson of Harry Potter fame, who has a $6 million deal to promote the brand’s frangrances.  Sounds like Hermoine could really start to affect Harry and Ron’s, er, magic wands…

  • Britney Spears’ mom Lynn is now writing a memoir expected to be out this fall about her experience raising two daughters in the media spotlight–an effort her publisher says was put on hold when 16-year-old Jamie Lynn became pregnant.  That was probably also the point when it stopped being that mom’s how-to book…
  • Both Beyonce and her rap mogul husband Jay-Z made the Top Ten in Forbes’ annual Celebrity 100 list, with B at #4 and Jigga in at #7.  They may both be wearing the pants in that family–but whose have the deepest pockets?
  • Idol winner David Cook talked about the competition in a Rolling Stone interview, saying, "I was never in it to win it, and that took some pressure off me. If I’d gotten caught up in all that, I would’ve had a coronary."  For runner-up David Archuleta’s dad, that might have actually helped him…
  • Katy Perry of I Kissed A Girl fame told a website interview that she recently met Rolling Stones’ legendary lead singer Mick Jagger and that he tried to put the moves on her–only Katy was having none of it, saying, "(He) could be my dad. I don’t cross 60. The age limit’s probably 30."  Hers, or Mick’s?
  • People magazine says Mel Gibson and Britney Spears spent a few hours together at a Beverly Hills cigar club this week in what they described as,  "more of an ongoing guidance session than a business pow-wow."   He probably does have a lot to teach her–other than the benefits of Judiasm…
  • Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl took the unusual step of withdrawing from Emmy consideration, saying in a statement that, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination…".  She shouldn’t worry–I’m sure the writers will give her some great stuff for her death scene next season…
