- 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…

 A Vibe magazine poll voted Eminem as "The Best Rapper Alive" from a field of 64 that placed Jay-Z second. Em released a statement saying, "It’s obviously an honor to have won the fans’ support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive. I don’t think there is any one rapper that is simply the best, though… But since Vibe’s offering the distinction, hell yeah, I’ll accept!"…- Katy Perry shed some light on her upbringing in a Blender magazine interview, revealing that her mom once dated Jimi Hendrix and her dad was a drug dealer specializing in a potent strain of LSD–all a part of their days as hippies in the ’60’s–but abandoned that lifestyle to become Evangelical ministers. You could say they found religion after meeting God…
- Britney Spears is still wrapped up in some legal difficulties, as a three-judge panel refused to dismiss a misdemeanor charge of driving without a license that stemmed from an incident when Brit hit a parked car and fled the scene–with one charge in that case already dismissed. Maybe she should just bit the bullet and take responsibility for it–it’s just what a clean and sober person would do…
- Fergie is experiencing one of those "blast from the past" moments she would have just as soon avoided–her prom date way back in 1993 was arrested for allegedly robbing a Southern California supermarket bank branch, with surveillance video showing him waving a gun during the holdup. You gotta admire whoever managed to dig this tidbit up–just they way you admire a mosquito, right before you squish it into oblivion…
  Actor Nick Nolte escaped with just minor injuries when an electrical fire broke out at his Malibu home Tuesday, causing about a million dollars in damages. Maybe he was just trying to get rid of as many copies of these photos as he could…- Director Oliver Stone says W, Stone’s film about President George Bush, is not a hatchet job designed to make Bush look bad–Stone claims he worked to make it "fair and balanced and compassionate". That kinda sounds like a report by Mother Teresa on Fox News…

 Not only does Katy Perry has a hit song, but she now has a doll, as she teamed up with a fashion designer to create a 12-inch doll that will sell for 50 bucks through Integrity Toys and will feature the belted gold minidress Katy wears in the video for I Kissed A Girl. I wanted to get one for my little niece, only it kept trying to put a lip lock on Malibu Barbie…- More great news for ex-Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker–he’s been released from the hospital with a spokesperson reporting that he’s "in good condition". That certainly is an encouraging report–although how often is someone discharged with the statement, "The patient is in terrible shape, but we’re cutting them loose anyway"?
- Britney Spears said in a radio interview Monday that she is "definitely" hitting the road next year to do some shows, and that it likely will be a world tour. It must make her feel just like a teenager again–you know, having to ask her dad for permission to go…
- A former attorney for Heath Ledger has filed suit against an insurance company who he alleges is withholding a $10 million payout on a policy Ledger took out to benefit his daughter Matilda Rose. The company claims they are just thoroughly investigating the possibility that Ledger committed suicide, despite a coroner’s report calling his death an accidental drug overdose, which would let them off the hook for paying–which would be almost as evil as Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight…
- Ed McMahon is back in legal hot water, thanks to a lawsuit from a company founded by the late Merv Griffin who claims it loaned McMahon $100 grand in 2005 and hasn’t been repaid. Maybe Merv’s people could let Ed win the money on Wheel Of Fortune…
 Janet Jackson had to cancel a Montreal concert when she was hospitalized after suddenly becoming sick during sound check. Maybe she took a look at her hairdo and just puked…

- 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…

- The Jonas Brothers oudid Miley Cyrus’ appearance on Good Morning America’s summer concert series Friday, drawing an estimated 20 thousand fans at New York’s Bryant Park. The boys have a distinct advantage–they’ve got screaming teenage girls and their moms who love them…
 It appears that Britney Spears and MTV have a sense of humor about her most recent appearance at the Video Music Awards, thanks to a promo airing for this year’s show that features Brit and VMA host Russell Brand cracking jokes about sexual tension while an elephant looms large in the background–a clever reference to her horrible performance last year. I hope this ends the rumors about her appearing in this year’s show with the elephant so she’ll look good by comparison…- Katy Perry has gotten a lot of flack about her hit I Kissed A Girl from people who say she’s corrupting young people with the song, and she explains in an interview with The Fresno Bee that she wasn’t trying to be deliberately provocative, saying, "I’m really just talking about my life. I did kiss a girl. That was my experience. The song is really about curiosity." She adds, "I’m like, ‘Honestly, you’re so worred about a little kiss, but then you’re gonna sing along to ‘Lick me like a lollipop?’ Amen…
- Clay Aiken announced Friday that his close friend and producer Jaymes Foster has given birth to his son, named Parker Foster Aiken. The two are not romantically involved, but plan to raise the child together–which will almost certainly give this child a wonderful sense of irony about the world…
- The entertainment world was rocked by two deaths over the weekend–comedian and actor Bernie Mac and the legendary singer-songwriter Isaac Hayes. This is really a terrible blow–not only were both of these men terrifically talented, but those poor South Park kids won’t know what to do without their Chef…
- Matthew McConaughey told CNN that he plans to fertilize an orchard by planting his son Levi’s placenta there, recalling how he had seen it in practice in Australia. Well, I guess that this is better than his original plan–to alternately eat it and rub it on his chest while saying, "All right, all right, all right"…
