  • 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 TalentAl 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…
  • 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…

  • 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

  • Mariah Carey has stepped in as Saturday Night Live’s musical guest this weekend after Janet Jackson was forced to cancel due to a flu outbreak that briefly put her in the hospital.  The two have a lot in common–they’re both incredibly beautiful, have amazing voices, and neither one is Michael Jackson in drag…
  • Avril Lavigne is not only not pregnant, but the recent shopping trip with her husband to a pair of baby boutiques that fed the rumors was all a prank–staged for a new TV series from Ashton Kutcher called Pop Fiction.  Avril said the show is about punking the media–looks like they’re off to a good start…
  • A band named Doxology claims American idol contestant David Cook used their version of Eleanor Rigby for his performance of it on the show–the second time Cook has been called out for using someone’s arrangement without credit.  Cook planned to apologize last night–only it turned out to be Eliot Spitzer’s version…
  • Madonna was reportedly dumfounded by Justin Timberlake’s story at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame about getting a B-12 injection from her in his backside, and her remarking that he had "a nice top shelf".  According to Madge, "I don’t even know what a ‘top shelf’ is"–which means that once again, JT has confused her with Britney Spears’ mom…
  • A 60-year-old woman who said her name was Billie Jean King and claimed to be Michael Jackson’s wife was caught tresspassing on Jacko’s soon-to-be-former Neverland Ranch.  I wonder if she also told cops she was a Pretty Young Thing who didn’t Wanna Be Startin’ Somthing, so they had better Beat It
  • The seventh Harry Potter book may be the last of its kind, but the movie from it won’t–it will actually be two movies, filmed at the same time but released six months apart.  Producers feel they need the time to do justice to the story–and to figure out how to explain that Voldemort is really Ron Weasley
