  • Britney Spears sports wig used in Womanizer videoBritney Spears continues to work towards the release of her CD Circus December 2, shooting a video for the album’s first single Womanizer at a club and restaurant in downtown L.A. Wednesday and Thursday.  It reportedly contains some "erotic choreography" where she straddles a guy and then sucks on cherries–in other words, she’s trying something more mature…
  • U2’s The Edge was a bit peeved over reports that bandmate Bono had bought himself a pricey yacht–mostly because the buyer was actually the legendary guitarist himself, telling The Irish Independent, "For years, it was a dream of mine to own a yacht but to be honest, it was a bit out of my league. So myself and a few friends got together, chipped in and bought the Cyan."  He makes it sound like they were ordering a pizza–only with seven-figure toppings …
  • David Blaine, just hanging outIllusionist David Blaine’s latest stunt, featured in a two-hour ABC special Wednesday night, had a less-than-thrilling finale–he told TMZ that he blames President Bush, whose speech delayed the start of his stunt by 15 minutes.  You know, I have no problem blaming Bush for any number of things, but he is definitely getting a pass from me for this…
  • Ed McMahon will be featured in a new ad for FreeCreditReport.Com, rapping about his financial troubles and riffing on his former gig as spokesperson for American Family Publishers by cruising through neighborhoods and asking sweepstakes winners for money.  Um…I think that last part is actually true…
  • Nickelback returns with a new CD November 18 titled Dark Horse, and will offer fans a free download of the track Gotta Be Somebody from the album starting Monday at 6AM Eastern time on the band’s website.  Frontman Chad Kroeger says, "there’s a lot of truly filthy subject matter and adult themes" on the new album–i guess he just wanted to make sure that kids would know not to buy it…
  • September isn’t even over and we already have our first TV casualty, as Fox has dumped the Jerry O’Connell sitcom Do Not Disturb–the official line is that the show is being put on hiatus for a week, but gossip says that’s when the show will get the official ax.  That’s pretty depressing–although not as depressing as being cancelled from The CW Network

  • Madonna put up for auction her purse and all its contents–including a makeup mirror, hair clips, tissues and lip gloss–at an AIDS charity gala late last week in Paris.  The whole package sold for just under a half-million bucks–only the winning bidder was upset because he got the wrong color gloss…
  • American Idol winner David Cook wasted no time making his mark on music buyers, grabbing the top 4 spots on iTunes’ sales chart since his win last week.  It’s still early, but I think he’s already sold more than Fantasia and Taylor Hicks combined…
  • OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder is a little upset about how Timbaland got credit for their hit Apologize, since Ryan wrote the song 5 years ago and the band co-produced it.  But Ryan definitely isn’t upset about the money that the song has brought the group–which likely wouldn’t have come along without that Timba-brand
  • After a four-year wait, Usher returns with his new CD Here I Stand, in stores today.  It features talents like Jay-Z and his new bride Beyonce, Will I. Am of Black Eyed Peas, and Usher Raymond the Fifth–that’s right, Usher’s 6-month-old baby boy can be heard gurgling on one track…
  • Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger has appealed his recent drunk driving conviction in Canada, claiming that the breathalyzer test he was forced to take shouldn’t have happened because the arresting officer didn’t have a reasonable suspicion that he was drunk.  In other words, it was a lucky guess that Chad was blitzed out of his mind
  • Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull may be a huge box-office success, but it has upset members of Russia’s Communist Party, claiming the film is historically inaccurate and paints a negative picture of Communism.  They may have a point–Cate Blanchett’s "Boris And Natasha" haircut was a little extreme
