• 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…

• Fall Out Boy has decided to postpone release of its new CD so it won’t coincide with Election Day, as the band explains in a website posting: "Six months ago, we thought it would be fun to release our album on election day but this is not the election to be cute. This is the most important election of our time…we felt as though rather than making a commentary, we were only riding the wave of the election. This seemed less and like what we intended to do and more of a gimmick"…
• Britney Spears has reportedly struck a deal with event producer AEG–but the details of when and where are still unclear.  She hinted recently that she’d like to do a world tour, and her new album Circus will be out December 2–so the tour is either planned for early next year, or she’s going to a lot of trouble to establish a play date…
•  Justin Timberlake and steady squeeze Jessica Biel attended an Obama rally in Las Vegas, where he told the crowd that he wasn’t there "as some dude who writes goofy songs", but rather, "Me and Jess, we’re here as Americans. We’re here as humans because this something we had to do."  JT later sang Vote In A Box–an off-shoot of the wildly popular Saturday Night Live sketch song you may remember, only this version was more political and less scatological…
• Tina Fey says she is done impersonating Sarah Palin after Election Day–especially if John McCain wins the election, telling TV Guide, "We’re gonna take it week by week. If she wins, I’m done. I can’t do that for four years. And by ‘I’m done,’ I mean I’m leaving Earth."  Does that mean that Palin would take over on 30 Rock?
• A new autobiography by Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick called Here’s The Story: Surviving Marcia Brady And Finding My True Voice is a frank discussion of her drug abuse as well as her romance with co-star Barry Williams.  Can you imagine Alice catching Marcia and Greg making out–that would be a totally creepy threesome…
• Gossip says The Emmy Awards people are considering a new category for best reality show judge, which would certainly include Idol’s Simon Cowell–but what about David Hasselhoff from America’s Got Talent?  As long as the category was Least Possible Negative Judge Ever In The History Of Judging…
•  

Christina Aguilera is posing for commemorative photos to help mark the 150th anniversary of department store giant Macy’s in October–others include Donald Trump, Martha Stewart, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein.  What a beautiful picture–and she didn’t even have to leave off her underwear…

Another edition of Fashion Rocks will be airing on CBS September 9, and they’ve added music from the Pussycat Dolls plus Timbaland with special guests Lynyrd Skynyrd. The lineup for the 5th annual fashion/music event already includes Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Rihanna and more. 

Amy Winehouse’s father Mitch claims her recent visit to the hospital was caused by a friend or hanger-on who spiked her drink with Ecstacy.  I gotta believe the entire rehab-happy celebrity community are so grateful for her–she is totally carrying the mail for them…

Attorneys for Britney Spears were back in court Thursday, this time to revisit the conservatorship established to put her father Jamie in charge of her affairs.  As expected, he will remain in charge through the end of the year–which should give ex-manager Sam Lufti enough time to find another helpless celebrity to try and control…

Convicted boy-band impressario Lou Pearlman has ratted out a fellow federal prison inmate accused of murder, after Pearlman overheard him admit to the crime. Pearlman is likely hoping to have his sentence reduced–which likely will happen once the prison population hears the news…

A new TV ad by John McCain tries to compare Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, flashing pictures of them while the ad refers to Obama as "the biggest celebrity in the world".  Now that’s just silly–everybody knows it’s that guy on Lost…

• Amy Winehouse was released from the hospital Tuesday following an overnight stay, reportedly due to an adverse reaction to medicine.  So, whaddya think–this is either the usual "medicine" she knows so well, or it really was a legitimate treatment and her body rejected it as something foreign…
• OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, who’s been involved in writing material for Kelly Clarkson’s upcoming CD, calls it "amazing" and adds, "I’ve never been more excited about material that I’ve worked on with any artist, to be quite frank."  High praise indeed–I wonder what Timbaland thinks of that?
• Miley Cyrus has hinted in a recent interview that the third season of Hanna Montana, which will begin taping in a few weeks, could be the last for her, although her reps have no comment and Disney reports that the network does have an option for a another year.  I’m guessing she’s about to learn another important lesson–don’t cross The Mouse…
• Justin Timberlake decided to get the record straight about the trend in trucker caps, telling Fashion Rocks magazine that it was he–and not Ashton Kutcher, who JT says has been taking credit–who started the craze in blue-collar headware when he was 17.  And to think of the sleepless hours I suffered over this…
• A Georgia family’s new home built by ABC reality show Extreme Makeover: Family Edition in 2005 is due to be put on the auction block, thanks to an ill-advised use of  their home’s half-million dollar equity towards a now-failed business.  The show’s staff is understandably unhappy about this, but you have to admit this is just a different kind of extreme makeover for these brain surgeons…
• American Idol host Ryan Seacrest had a Jaws-like experience over the weekend, when a fanged, cat-sized sea creature bit his toes while swimming in shallow water.  Goodness–I hope his hair is all right…

• Jesse McCartney has been tapped to appear in a series of TV ads for Bongo–a line of women’s clothing and accessories, the first male spokesperson for the brand.  Maybe he can make his first pitch to Jordin Sparks–they’ll be touring together all next month…
• I read recently that Britney Spears’ label denied Internet rumors that her new CD will contain a duet with ex-beau Justin Timberlake.  Based on my luck in finding any of those stories, it now seems that apparently I made it up…
• You can buy a date with MIley Cyrus–actually, you can bid on a "personal meet-and-greet" with her at the November premiere of Disney animated film Bolt, in which Miley’s featured.  Auction proceeds benefit her family’s Pappy Cyrus Foundation–visit eBay for all the particulars…
• Rapper 50 Cent is suing Taco Bell, claiming that they used his name in a promotional campaign without his permission–where the fast food giant asked the rapper in a print ad to change his name for a day to one of the prices on a new value menu.  Could be when Fiddy is done with them, they may be worth 79, 89, or 99 cents…
• Brad Pitt is putting the media on notice that they will be sued if they publish any photos taken "serruptitiously" of the twin babies born to him and Angelina Jolie.  He’s obviously concerned about their privacy–and that $11 million deal to publish the "official" photos…
• Forbes magazine says Vince Vaughn is the best actor to put in your movie for the best ROI (return on investment)–apparently Vaughn films earn $14.73 of gross income for every dollar he was paid.  At the other end of the scale, there’s Paris Hilton, whose Hottie And The Nottie didn’t even gross enough to pay the caterer…
