- TimbalandW is turning his attention from the music business to the movies–he’s working with another outfit to co-produce a film called Vinyl, which is, surprise, about a band. So, let’s see if we can figure this out–he’ll make the movie a big success, then take all the stars from the movie and produce films for them that will make them big successes, and then he’ll mix and match them with other stars to make even more successful movies–any questions?
- Kanye WestW talked to People magazine on the anniversary of his mom Donda West’s death, and told them that he feels responsible for what happened to her, explaining, "I feel like I moved to California, and then my mom [did too], and she did stuff she wouldn’t have done if we’d stayed in Chicago." I rarely dispense advice, but maybe some is in order here: dude, all you’re responsible for is what you do with the life you have now that she’s gone–if what you do and who you are can honor what she saw in you, not only will she live on, but she’ll live in you…
 NBC’s annual Christmas In Rockerfeller Center special includes some pretty special music when it airs December 3, including Beyonce, The Jonas Brothers, Idol’s David Cook, plus Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts and that amazing opera singer who won America’s Got Talent. Al RokerW from The Today Show will host again, and the live show will again conclude with the lighting of the big tree just off 49th and 5th–and about the only thing that can outshine that old peacock…- Michael JacksonW has turned over Neverland RanchW to the company who helped keep it from foreclosure, although it will be a joint venture between Jacko and the real estate investment company affiliate who’s taking control of it. Whatever tlheir plans for the place, there is definitely some de-creepiness that has to be done first…
.jpg) Jennifer AnistonW is still answering questions about comments she made in a Vogue interview about her ex Brad PittW and Angelina JolieW–she told Oprah on today’s show that she was just answering the reporter’s question about how it made her feel to hear Jolie describe the way she and Pitt fell in love in 2004, saying the remarks "were really uncool". Personally, the only thing she really needs to answer is how she learned to behave like such a grown-up in a town so full of overgrown babies…- A former executive producer of American Idol isn’t a fan of the new season’s plans to include a fourth judge–songwriter Kara DioguardiW–to the additional mix of Simon, Paula and Randy, saying, "I think once you’ve been told, ‘You suck,’ you don’t need to be told another three times." No worries–I’m sure Paula will make up for it by trying to date as many of the contestants as possible…

- Mariah Carey will introduce a second signature fragrance called Luscious Pink, which she calls, "feminine, flirtatious and fun," and says it, "truly reflects where I am in my life now, after an incredible year." A new album, another #1 hit song, a new husband–I wasn’t aware that most of that had a smell…
- People magazine says John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston made their mostly-whispered romance public when they attended a charity banquet last week, reporting that the pair discreetly held hands under their table. I suppose that in some circles, it’s the equivalent of wild sex in the middle of the dance floor…
- Jesse McCartney, who teamed wih Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic to write the Leona Lewis smash Bleeding Love, says the song was originally creqated for his album but the pair decided it would fit a woman better. Sort of like letting a plumber wear a pair of capri pants..
- Talk of Michael Jackson performing in Las Vegas is heating up, with the investment firm that helped him hold on to his Neverland ranch considering at least one way that Jacko can repay them–by working one of the hotel-casinos they own there. I would urge caution, especially if they’re planning any "kid-friendly" improvements…
- Lindsay Lohan has asked to be removed from consideration for an Emmy Award nominaton for best guest actress in a comedy series, with a spokesperson saying, "her appearance was brief" in ABC’s Ugly Betty. It’s probably because the rebah facility she expects to be in by then has a very strict off-campus policy…
- I read that Lance Armstrong, who’s currently seeing Kate Hudson, took her to a New York restaurant with a reputation for a long waiting list and tried to get seated without a reservation–but to no avail. All I can say is that I wouldn’t want to be that maitre d’, taking a casual bike ride thru Central Park anytime soon…

- Britney Spears got good news in court yesterday–she’ll receive an "expansion of time" with her two children, and the court said she could be granted overnight visitation in the next month. This should be welcome news to ex Kevin Federline, who can soon resume his life of crashing parties and pretending he’s important…
- Rihanna continues to play it coy with comments about her relationship with Chris Brown, telling a magazine interview, "We’ve always been friends, but we’re very close now." I guess you could call two people all but humping their brains out in public "very close"..
- Madonna, Prince and Michael Jackson will all turn 50 this year, and Madge was asked if the 3 would be throwing a party, to which she said, "If there is, I’m not throwing it. I’m tired of throwing parties!" OK, but honestly–who would attend a party the other two wack jobs would throw?
- Taylor Swift admitted to Seventeen magazine that she became unpopular in junior high, saying, "That was really sad, to sit there and wonder, ‘What’s wrong with me?’" Makes you wonder if all those kids who dissed her back then imagine they were her best friend…
- Contract talks between producers and the Screen Actors Guild ended yesterday with tense words about the union’s demands for higher fees from DVD sales and online content, with the other side calling them "unreasonable". Of course, these were the same issues that caused the writers to strike–except producers think actors and writers pay no attention to each other…
- Barbara Walters dished more from her upcoming memoir Audition on yesterday’s Oprah, revealing that the cast of The View were forced to keep mum on co-host Star Jones’ gastric bypass until she herself went public about it. They were supposed to say it was "portion control and Pilates", but no one is sure–Star was choking on a chicken wing at the time…

- Sara Bareilles is only one hit song into her career and she’s already won the Vanaguard Award from performing rights group ASCAP, who are recogninzing her for musical styles that "help shape the future of American music". Don’t worry about her resting on her laurels–she’s doing a few concert dates in the south before kicking off a headlining tour next month…
- Britney Spears is busy in a positive way now, filming her guest spot on How I Married Your Mother, and issued a statement saying, "[It] has been so terrific. Everyone, including the cast, the crew and the producers has been wonderful." It’s really surprising how decent people will treat someone sober and not driving her children anywhere…
- American Idol contestant Jason Castro’s rendition of Hallelujah, written by Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Leonard Cohen, has helped put the song atop Billboard magazine’s Hot Digital Songs chart. If you plan to pick it up from iTunes or Rhapsody, it’s the version by the late Jeff Buckley which is by far the best-known and the one atop the chart…
- Looks like Michael Jackson won’t be losing his Neverland Ranch after all, as a "confidential" refinancing deal has been struck to let him keep his home. I guess that means for years to come, Jacko will be able to make hundreds of boys nervous and uncomfortable…
- That "meet and greet" date with Scarlett Johansson I told you about on March 4 that was being auctioned for charity on eBay finally sold for $40,100 to an unidentified British man. Holy cow–that’s even more than a 7-diamond girl from The Emporers Club…
- Paris Hilton will return to reality TV later this year on an MTV show tenatively titled Paris Hilton’s My New BFF. In this case, that stands for Big Freakin’ Flake…

- Britney Spears is seeing her children again, now that a visitation agreement was worked out with Kevin Federline–she’s had three visits with them the past week. It’s wonderful–they’re back to calling her "Mommy" instead of "that no-underpants lady"…
- NBC’s much-ballyhooed Internet seriess Quarterlife couldn’t even manage that–it’s been yanked from the schedule after just one episode. You know you’re in trouble when there’s a bigger audience on the all-pottery channel…
- Fall Out Boy has been hinting about a "special guest guitarist" featured on a cover of Michael Jackson’s Beat It included on their new live DVD out April 8, and gossip says that John Mayer’s the one who’ll do his own version of Eddie Van Halen–the axe-slinger on Jacko’s original version…
- Taylor Swift is perfectly happy to be still living with her parents and family in Nashville, saying that she’s in no hurry to grow up, and that "I like watching my brother grow up when I can…I want to be there and witness whatever normalcy I can". As we know all too well, "normal celebrity" is now an unfortunate oxymoron…
- ABC has moved to renew five of its reality series: Dancing With The Stars, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Supernanny, Wife Swap and America’s Funniest Home Videos. There’s a lot of crying during these shows–mostly from displaced writers…
- Nicole Ritchie has reportedly been offered the role of Roxie Hart in the current Broadway run of Chicago. I had no idea Roxie was an anorexic, no-talent twit…
