- Pink’s new CD Funhouse is in stores today (10/28/08), which is kind of an ironic title since much of it is about her split with husband Carey Hart. In fact, she originally wanted to call it Heartbreak is a Mother-Bleeper–maybe she thought it was too subtle…
- Idol winner David Cook has hooked up with iTunes to promote his new single Light On–users of iPhone or iTouch can buy an application that will make your device light up and then play Cook’s song. David says it’s a take-off on holding up your lighter during a concert, adding, "You get a lighter during a rock ballad, and nobody burns their thumbs."
  Ever since Brit tabloid The Sun published a dated photo of Katy Perry holding a knife next to a picture of a recently-stabbed teenager, it’s been a PR disaster for her–she took to her blog to call out the paper for trying to make her look like she condoned violence. Those comments apparently upset families of stabbing victims in the UK, who now want her removed as the host of the MTV Europe Awards November 7–held in the hometown of the pictured stabbing victim. And we thought her hit I Kissed A Girl would be controversial…- The Black Eyed Peas are close to finishing their new CD The E.N.D., only Will. I. Am. says it will never be finished–because he plans to constantly update it with new versions every few months. Some might consider that the view of a perfectionist–my ex would call it fear of committment…
- Amy Winehouse has returned to the news–and the hospital–with a report that she was admitted for tests on her chest and lungs "as a precaution", according to her spokesperson. Smart move–the public had almost forgotten about her…
  Dancing With The Stars is facing a whole different kind of elimination–yet another contestant has been forced to step away from the competition due to illness or injury, with Monday’s announcement that pro Julianne Hough not only has endometriosisW but will undergo an appendectomy today. Combined with the untimely departures of Olympic volleyballer Misty May-Treanor and Brooke Burke, these are either freakish coincidences, or the work of fellow contestant Cloris LeachmanW as evil Nurse Diesel from High AnxietyW…

 Bad news for Janet Jackson fans–she’s postponed two more shows on her Rock Witchu tour following a mysterious illness Monday night in Montreal that sent her to the hospital briefly. I certainly hope she feels better soon–otherwise her wack-job brother might get the notion to finish the tour for her–in drag…- Maroon 5 fans can catch their band on the tube Wednesday night on CSI:NY performing their latest single Goodnight Goodnight. You should tune in early, because the performance will be at the beginning of the show–hopefully they aren’t the episode’s victims…
- Dido is set to release her new CD Safe Trip Home November 4, her first in 5 years since her hugely popular Life For Rent, and a deluxe edition is available for pre-order on iTunes that includes bonus tracks and a video for her first single Don’t Believe In Love…
- ABC has captured the first ratings week battle of the fall season, placing Dancing With The Stars, Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy in the top three spots last week. Meanwhile, the return of 90210 on The CW Network is on a downward spiral, with only about half as many viewers as the show’s premiere three weeks ago. So how long will it be before we see the new-and-improved Dancing With Desperate 90210’s Anatomy?
.jpg) The judge in the divorce of Sharon Stone and San Francisco newspaperman Phil Bronstein ruled that their son Roan remain in his father’s custody, largely due to what the court said was Stone’s tendency to "overreact to many medical issues"–like suggesting Botox injections for Roan’s foot odor problem and insisting he had a spinal condition when there was no evidence of it. It does appear that there’s considerable evidence of a mental condition…- The moderator of Thursday’s vice-presidential debate, PBS reporter Gwen Ifill, says she still plans to do her job there–despite breaking her ankle while carrying prep documents for the debate down the stairs in her home. She should have known better than trying to carry something as heavy as the complete text of Joe Biden’s last speech…

 New mom Gwen Stefani (pictured here incredibly any-minute-now pregnant!) has left the hospital with her second child with rocker husband Gavin Rossdale, baby boy Zuma Nesta Rock. It’s good news for that other Gwen–Apple is no longer the world’s stupidest celebrity baby name…- Kid Rock has bucked the current trend of putting his music on iTunes–and the huge success of his hit All Summer Long has forced anyone who wants the song to buy his CD Rock And Roll Jesus at their local music retailer. It’s put the album, released almost a year ago, in the Top 10 and pushed it to double platinum status–not to mention really irritating Steve Jobs…
- Pink is singing one thing and saying another, as she claims her new song So What is not a dig at her estranged husband Carey Hart–despite the song’s video depicting her taking a chainsaw to a tree engraved with the couple’s names on it. Pink claims it’s the musical version of "when a kindergartener goes up and punches a girl he likes and runs away", and insists Hart is "my darling" and "it’s all good"–and maybe explains why they’re estranged…
- Malaysia’s government has apparently done an about-face on their stance opposing Avril Lavigne’s concert there this coming Friday night–officials now say her show in Kuala Lumpur may go on, although the nation’s arts and culture ministry will reportedly monitor the concert to "ensure that the performances do not clash with the Malaysian culture and values". So–how much was the payoff, and which official got it?
  Former Saturday Night Live cast member Chris Kattan has split with his wife, model Sunshine Tutt, after a virtual Hollywood eternity of wedded bliss–8 whole weeks. What do you figure–he did that Mango bit one time too many?- Ed McMahon has passed on Donald Trump’s offer to buy McMahon’s home, which is in danger of foreclosure, and then lease it back to McMahon and his wife. Ed will instead sell the home to another party, likely deciding he wanted the Donald as a landlord about as much has he would want Jay Leno as a boss…

- The two Davids of American Idol are both doing pretty fair in the world of digital download sales, as Billboard reports that winner David Cook has 17 songs on its Hot Digital Tracks chart and runnerup David Archuleta has 14 on the chart–largely a result of iTunes’ decision to begin making sales data public…
- Clay Aiken is apparently going to be a father, as a spokesperson for producer David Foster said that Foster’s sister had been artificially inseminated by Aiken, who is a long-time friend of hers.
