- So how popular is Katy Perry’s hit I Kissed A Girl? Apparently even her grandma likes it, as evidenced by this video Katy shot of Gran reading the lyrics from the CD booklet: http://www.vimeo.com/1795411 Personally, I think she would make a great roadie…
  Miss Hanna Montana Miley Cyrus made a guest appearance in half-brother Trace’s band Metro Station while they filmed a video of their song Forever 17. I can just hear it now–"I’m a little bit pop star/I’m a whole lotta freak show"…- Clay Aiken makes a shocking revelation on the cover of the latest People magazine–he’s gay. OK, seriously now–what’s really his shocking revelation?
- Sharon Stone has lost physical custody of her son Roan with ex–husband Phil Bronstein, as a judge ruled that Bronstein offered, "a more structured continuity, stable, secure and consistent home that…Roan needs." Apparently that judge was one of the few who actually watched Basic Instinct 2…
 Vegan Leona Lewis is spreading her cruelty-free lifestyle to a line of fashion accessories that will contain no animal products. She’s not sure when it will come out–perhaps she’s trying to find vegan suppliers, distributors, employees, and office equipment…- The next film in the James Bond franchise to hit the big screen, Quantum Of Solace, will be missing something present in all other 007 flicks–the iconic phrase, "shaken, not stirred". I imagine the director probably considers the notion of a martini as outdated–they could always substitute a smoothie…

- A "Who’s Who" of top female singers, including Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Sheryl Crow, Rihanna, Melissa Etheridge and nine others will join to record a single to benefit the Stand Up To Cancer initiative, which will air on ABC, NBC and CBS on September 5. This bunch, including a pair of cancer suvivors in Etheridge and Crow, won’t just stand up to cancer–they’ll obliterate it with the sheer force of their collective wills…
 Avril Lavigne is having difficulty performing a concert in Malaysia, where officials say her show would be, "unsuitable to Malaysian culture" and its scheduled date of August 29 is too close to the nation’s independence celebration. Avril needs to follow the lead of Beyonce, who was in a similar situation recently–she made sure her costumes were inoffensive, her songs weren’t controversial, and her multi-zillion dollar husband was standing by just in case to write them a big check…- The Olympics have been good to Michael Phelps, and Michael Phelps has been very good to NBC–its coverage of the summer games grabbed the top 7 spots in TV ratings last week, pulling in an average audience of 28.7 million. Al Roker had better hope Phelps has no major weatherman aspirations…
 The people of Milwaukee honored one of their own–on TV at least–when they unveiled a bronze statue of Arthur Fonzerelli, better known as "The Fonz" from 70’s sitcom icon Happy Days. Most of the cast of the show was on hand, except for the guy who played Potsie–he spent the day on the show’s Hollywood set, wondering where everybody else was…- Roger Moore, who played James Bond in 7 films in the 1970’s and 80’s, writes about his experiences in a memoir out November 4 and reveals that many of the stunts left him in less than ideal conditon–including one boat-chase scene that catapulted him into a wall, cracking teeth and twisting his knee. Apparently, the villan for the rest of the movie was the stunt coordinator…
- Bobby Brown is in more legal trouble–only this time it’s from his own attorneys, who say he owes them $90,000 in fees stemming from his divorce from Whitney Houston. At least this time it isn’t any of those drug dealers he stiffed…

- Mariah Carey is apparently a married woman again, as a tourism official from the Bahamas said that Mariah and actor Nick Cannon were married on Windemere Island there last week and another source confirming the pair obtained a marriage license from another Bahamian island. Mariah has repeatedly denied it happened, but I hear Nick has told every single person he knows plus a large number of total strangers…
- OneRepublic lead singer Ryan Tedder injured his Achilles tendon badly enough that it required immediate surgery–he’ll be fine, but the band was forced to cancel or postpone the rest of the dates on their current tour. Ryan apologized to fans and said he hoped they’d be able to reschedule all the scrapped shows…
- Looks like Amy Winehouse will not be singing the theme for the upcoming James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace, as her producer says she is, "not ready to record music" and believes that completing the project would require, "some miracle of science". Perhaps Amy can help–she must know plenty about chemistry…
- An ad in Monday’s USA Today that attacks ignition interlocks–proposed devices that will meaure a drivers’ blood-alcohol level before permitting the vehicle to start–used Lindsay Lohan’s now-infamous DUI mug shot to suggest that it’s only people like her that need such technology. LiLo’s people were furious about the ad, saying they knew for a fact she had looked much better on several other arrests…
- Tom Cruise was on Oprah Friday for the first time since his couch-jumping escapade three years ago, and told her, "That was a moment, and it was real, and I don’t know if I would [do it differently]. I really don’t." I’m pretty sure that the people financing his films would be jumping on their couches if he tried it again…
- CSI star Gary Dourdan reportedly emailed a TV tabloid reporter to clear the air about his arrest on drug possession charges last week, claiming that the drugs found in his car were in the luggage of another person and that he was cooperating "in any way to clear myself and go on with my blessed life." He should consider himself blessed, putting his stash in somebody else’s property…

- American Idol season six finalist Chris Sligh says that the current seasons’ contestants don’t care whether they win or not, since they all believe just getting as far as they have will assure them of a record deal and stardom. That may be true, but they should all check with Justin Guarini first…
- New ads for Macy’s department stores will not only feature stars like Mariah Carey and Carlos Santana, but will be directed by Barry Levinson–the Oscar-winning director of Rain Man, as well as The Natural, Good Morning Vietnam, and Diner. That sounds great, but does it mean these ads will be an hour and a half long?
- CNN star Anderson Cooper announced he had some minor surgery to remove a cancerous mole from his face. Now all he has to worry about is his malignant ego…
- James Bond returns to the big screen in November, with Daniel Craig again portraying Agent 007 in Quantum Of Solace. Craig will likely continue his "edgy" portrayal of Bond by shooting anyone who asks him "shaken or stirred?"
- Today Show host Matt Lauer has agreed to be the subject of a Friar’s Club roast in October, hosted by his friend and colleague Al Roker. Lauer can look forward to fellow celebrities making more disgustting and crude remarks about him than even Katie Couric…
- Pamela Anderson will tell Ellen DeGeneres on her show today that she’s not dating anyone. At least since last night, anyway…

- Republican presidential candidate John McCain is denying reports in the Washington Post and New York Times that he had an inappropriate relationship with a female lobbyist and that he pushed for legislation benefiting one of her clients. Mitt Romney is particular upset with the news–if it had been about him, he might still be in the race…
- The former head of Britain’s intelligence agency MI6 testified at the Princess Diana coroner’s inquest that they were not responsible for her and Dodi Fayed’s death and that any involvement by rogue agents in that kind of plot would have been impossible. Of course, insisting that James Bond had thoroughly checked it out didn’t really help…
- Police in Missouri have arrested a teenager for offering two men $260 to kill his parents–who say he had always been "a very good child". Well, at least up until wanting his mom and dad dead…
- Thousands of passengers at London’s Heathrow Airport are suffering delays or canceled flights after a computer glitch shut down the airport’s baggage sorting system. I never imagined Bill Gates would stoop so low…
- A Brooklyn man faces larceny charges for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in a bank account that was in his name but belonged to someone else. The man claims the bank insisted the account was his–but does he have the free toaster to prove it?
