• Justin Timberlake is showing the love for the links–he recently hosted a charity golf tournament to benefit the Shriners Club Hosptials, he’s working on opening his own green-friendly greens in hometown Memphis, and he’s just cut an endorsement deal with Callaway which will put JT on the course with their clubs, balls, and bags.  All I can say is that if he ever starts to play the way he sing and dances, Tiger should watch his back…
•  Pink visited The View yesterday to talk about her new CD Funhouse and to explain her, well, unusual relationship with ex-husband Carey Hart^W–who she brutally attacks in songs like So What, but insists, quote, "We’re really yummy. We’re solid. We confuse our families. We confuse ourselves, but…we’re friends."  If you are thinking that this is one seriously twisted chick, you would be correct…
• Rapper T.I., facing a prison term next March on a firearms conviction, believed he was ineligible to vote–but learned Georgia law only prohibits those felons actually incarcerated from casting a ballot.  He hung out with the public yesterday to do his civic duty–maybe he’s hoping to elect someone who’ll commute his sentence…
• Janet Jackson’s Rock Witchu tour suffered another setback in Detroit Tuesday night–she was forced to eliminate a portion of her show to comply with a Michigan law prohibiting the simuation of sexual acts in a public performance (check out the clip below to get an idea of what those fans didn’t see). This lends a whole new meaning to "audience participation"…
• On the subject of all things Jackson, Jermaine Jackson^W told the Hollywood Reporter that the Jackson 5^W will reunite next year–including Michael, with Janet as opening act.  It should be quite the spectacle–Janet molesting the audience, Michael probably molesting himself, Randy all "pitchy" and "dawg", and the rest of the family looking for a hole to crawl into…
• Just in case you were desperately holding out for it, let Lisa Kudrow^W of Friends^W fame straighten you out–there are no plans for a reunion now or at any other time since the show ended its run in 2004.  Mostly it’s because no one can remember which car wash David Schwimmer^W works at now…

• After months of denials by spokespeople, Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie made it official–they announced Wednesday that they are divorcing after 8 years of marriage.  There are financial details to work out, since Madge is worth about a half-billion dollars and Ritchie, well, isn’t….
• Billboard magazine reports that Britney Spears is definitely hitting the road next spring after cutting a tour deal with AEG Live, that it will be international, and visit midsize venues rather than theatres or stadiums.  It sounds like another carefully-planned step made by her father, which proves that all celebrity parents aren’t publicity-seeking boobs that are painfully unaware of their childrens’ problems–but enough about Brit’s mom…
• Tina Fey still doesn’t know if she’ll return to Saturday Night Live this weekend to do her spot-on Sarah Palin impression–but CNN says that Palin herself will be a guest on the show.  Wow–maybe Palin will do her Tina Fey impression…
• MTV’s Total Request Live, or TRL, says a final farewell November 16 and Beyonce will be there to mark the moment, telling the show Monday during an appearance that she owes a lot of success to them–both for her and Destiny’s Child.  Maybe she’ll get husband Jay-Z to buy it and start his own channel–you know, Jigga TV…
• The mystery is over surrounding whatever was ailing Janet Jackson to force her to postpone 9 dates on her Rock Witchu tour–her reps announced Tuesday that she was diagnosed with a rare type of migraine-induced vertigo, but she’s receiving treatment and returned to performing Wednesday night in Washington DC. It must be great for her to resume her tour, and to realize that her only big headache isn’t brother Michael…
•  ohn McCain tried to make peace with David Letterman Thursday night, telling the late-night host that "I screwed up" by canceling an earlier appearance on the show, then endured some pretty sharp questioning by Letterman about his campaign and Sarah Palin.  I think afterwards, he probably would have preferred a debate with Hillary Clinton…

According to Pussycat Girls member Nicole Scherzinger (the Doll in front), vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin would make a great addition to PCD because, "She seems like a headstrong woman, a tough chick. And she’s hot!" These of course are ideal qualities–if you’re looking for a lap dancer for the Cabinet…

Britain pop superstar Leona Lewis is a bit peeved about a London label’s plans to release an album of her before she became a houshold name, and in fact her attorneys are talking lawsuit against the label if they decide to move forward.  Leona says she did the songs just for the experience of recording–which probably means she’s about as proud of them as one of William Hung’s memorable Idol performances..

A Boston musician who claims Bon Jovi’s song I Love This Town–which has been used extensively to promote baseball’s postseason–was based on his similarly-titled (Man I Really) Love This Team and is suing the band for $400 billion, based on damages of a hundred grand for each of the 4 million CD’s the band sold with the song on it.  While there are those who say his copyright claim may have some merit, it’s likely any settlement would be reduced–by, say, 8 or 9 zeroes…

Janet Jackson’s people continue to postpone shows on her Rock Witchu tour–after announcing Friday that she would resume the tour Saturday in Connecticut, and then scrapping it later in the day, they claimed her show Monday in upstate New York would be next, only to postpone that performance over the weekend.  Since she’s probably put off more shows than she’s done, they could refer to the makeup gigs as the Broken Leg of the tour…

Former The View host Star Jones is pulling no punches when she talks about her time on the show, referring to her co-hosts in an Essence magazine interview by saying, "Those girls were hateful."  Gosh, Star, you’d be mad too if someone asked you 15 times a day, "You’re rich–you better buy me something nice for my wedding!"…

Late-night TV’s David Letterman and John McCain have kissed and made up, with McCain again scheduled to appear on Letterman’s show Thursday night–after a flap that developed when McCain canceled a previous appearance at the last minute.  Letterman may have a little fun with him though–you know, calling him "that one" pretty much all night…

• Britney Spears isn’t suprised that so many of us were asking, "What was she thinking?" when she exhibited all that bizarre behavior a year ago–she told MTV in an interview for an upcoming documentary that she was actually thinking the same thing at the same time.  This totall explains how she married Kevin Federline…
• Reps for Janet Jackson say she’s well enough now to return to her Rock Witchu tour Saturday, after scrapping shows in 6 cities due to a mystery illness that kept her under a doctor’s care.  I’m still not convinced she didn’t get sick from her hairdo…
• Rapper T.I. knows his musical success has given him a lot of influence over teens, and he takes it seriously–he says, "When I’m speaking to young people and they say, Who you voting for?,’ I say, Cut your PlayStation off and turn to CNN and listen…to each of the candidates’ platforms. Whoever you think is speaking passionately and intelligently and will do the things you think need changed, that’s who you vote for"…
• British singer Estelle has a huge hit with Kanye West called American Boy, and to hear it you’d think he’s that dude–but she says otherwise, telling the Houston Chronicle it would be more like, "Will Smith. Just a general, all-around sexy guy. I’m not too fussy."  Apparently, too fussy for Kanye…
• Gossip columnist Cindy Adams of the New York Post reports that Saturday Night Live is set to welcome Sarah Palin as a guest on its October 25th show.  This could turn out to be a huge opportunity for Palin–if things don’t work out next month, she could join the cast as a Tina Fey impersonator …
• Look for Angelina Jolie to grace the November cover of W Magazine–breastfeeding one of  her twins– Knox Leon or Vivienne Marcheline.  Why do I guess that this issue will be snapped up by millions of Lara Croft fans?

• Madonna launched the US leg of her Sticky And Sweet tour Saturday from New Jersey’s Izod Center, and the consensus of reports suggested her show is more acrobatic than erotic.  She was impressive by all accounts, but how sleazy can a 50-year-old mother of two really be?
• Crunk king Lil’ Jon, one of Britney Spears’ collaborators on her upcoming Circus CD, told People magazine that the album has the goods to put her back on top, adding, "It’s going to be a big album. Britney is very intelligent and she’s really set up [for success]. She is focused and she wants it again, so it’s definitely going to happen for her."  That’s high praise indeed–not to mention nice to know he can say more than just "Yeah!"…
• The Jonas Brothers say that the inspiration for their current single Lovebug was the movie Juno, as Nick explains,  "Juno was one of our favorite movies at the time, and the soundtrack is…kind of odd, so we decided to put those elements in the song, and it came [together] very nicely."  America’s favorite clearn-cut heartthrobs inspired by a wacky pregnant teen–has anybody told the suits at Disney?
•  Janet Jackson continues to postpone concerts on her Rock Witchu tour, with performances in Greensboro, North Carolina Saturday, Atlanta Sunday, and Fort Lauderdale Tuesday delayed, along with shows in Montreal, Boston and Philadelphia–this after a doctor in Greensboro advised her not to perform because it was "evident" she had not recovered from whatever is ailing her.  I certainly hope she isn’t turning back into Michael…
• Olympic gold medal beach volleyball star Misty May-Treanor was hurt Friday and may be forced to end her competition on Dancing With The Stars, with a source stating that the injury to her Achilles heel would require surgery.  Maybe the show would let her sub v-ball partner Kerri Walsh in–she looks good in a two-piece outfit too…
• The former headmistress of the school Oprah Winfrey owns in South Africa has filed a $250,000 suit against the talk show queen, claiming Oprah made defamatory remarks about her following reports that a female employee at the school was sexually abusing students there.  Oprah has two choices–fight the suit tooth and nail, or settle and simply postpone her next shopping trip…
