- Mariah Carey’s latest hit Touch My Body looks destined for #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, which will give her 18–one more than Elvis Presley and the most of any solo artist in history. I hope this doesn’t mean she has to wear ugly jumpsuits and eat weird food…
- The recent #1 success of Leona Lewis’ Bleeding Love was great news for composers Jessie McCartney and OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, who have yet to hit the top spots as singers. Ryan’s bands’ Apologize hit #2 before peaking, but spent an amazing 25 weeks in the Top Ten–the longest since 199’s Santana/Rob Thomas duet Smooth…
- Miley Cyrus, who won a pair of Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice awards Saturday night, told a radio interview that the rumors of her looking for love on the web are untrue, adding, "I’m not that desperate yet!". Besides, t here just aren’t that many cute guys in mullets anymore…
- Madonna said in an interview that rumors about trouble in her marriage to director Guy Ritchie are "ridiculous" but admitted that being married is "not easy" and requires a lot of compromising, adding, "We still have to take turns". Gross–at what?
- Some Internet gossip claims that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tied the knot in a New Orleans ceremoney on Saturday, which is questionable since sources claim they weren’t even there over the weekend. Of course, who’s to say both sources aren’t the same tabloid?

- Taylor Swift may be a big star, but she still has time for her MySpace friends, saying she personally uploads pictures, checks comments, and writes the content on her page. I personally think it’s just the way to stay a big star…
- Madonna told a radio interview that she doesn’t think she can ever sing her early hits like Holiday or Like A Virgin again unless, as she said, "somebody paid me, like, 30 million dollars or something". She may have found religion and turned into a real mom, but she’s still our Material Girl…
- The fallout continues over a Los Angeles Times article that falsely suggested Sean "Diddy" Combs had advance knowledge of the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, as the apology by the paper for basing the piece on what turned out to be fake FBI documents has not satisfied Diddy’s attorney. He wants one of two things–a fat check or an even fatter spread in their weekend edition…
- Forbes has ranked the hottest new recording stars based on what the financial magazine is known for–money, with Sean Kingston, Colbie Caillat, Jordin Sparks and OneRepublic in their Top Ten for huge CD and download sales. Idol winner Taylor Hicks not only didn’t make the list, he couldn’t even get editors to return his calls…
- Plans for an X-Files movie sequel are in the works, featuring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in their original roles of agents Mulder and Scully. The truth may be out there, but if the show’s "black helicopter" fan base isn’t, this thing won’t make it past the first popcorn refill at the multiplex…

- Once again, it was all American Idol atop the TV ratings, as all three shows from last week once again finished 1,2, and 3. In fact, there were only two scripted shows–Fox’s New Amsterdam and Lost–that even made the Top Ten, which makes TV writing just about as secure a professtion as cliff divers…
- Dawn Wells–better known to the world as Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island–spent a few days in an Idaho jail for an October arrest for pot possession she claimed wasn’t hers. Take a look at her mug shot and tell me if you think she was maybe fibbing just a bit…
- A global language group says the line "Just call it, frend-o" from No Country For Old Men is the film phrase that has most influenced the English language–although it was only uttered in the film’s trailer and not in the movie itself. That may be true, but that characters’ cute Mary Lou Retton hairdo has most influenced the future of good grooming…

We buy the magazines. We are hungrily devouring all the information. So we all have to take responsibility for it." What’s the chance she considers herself royalty and now refers to herself as "we"?
- Paula Abdul shared some details about her new album with People magazine, saying it will include new versions of up to a half-dozen of her #1 songs plus 5 new tunes. For example, her hit Cold Hearted Snake will be given new lyrics all about Simon Cowell…
- Jack Nicholson has come out in support of Hillary Clinton in an Internet video featuring Jack in clips from several of his movies interspersed with graphics promoting Clinton’s strengths.

- Simon Cowell says he was offered $2 million to be the new face of Viagra but turned it down, calling it a "f***ing insult". I imagine anyone intimate with Simon saying the same thing…

- OneRepublic’s huge hit Apologize is only the second song ever to sell 3 million downloads, and lead singer Ryan Tedder–who wrote the song–thinks its popularity is partly because the song keeps getting discovered by older generations…
- Jon Eardly, the attorney who claims he represents Britney Spears, says he won’t give up his effort to her conservatorship case to federal court–despite the court’s ruling that he is not her attorney. This guy needs to convince a judge that Britney isn’t too out of it to hire him to represent her–only every time he opens his mouth, he convinces anyone still listening of the opposite…

- Jay Leno will be a very in-demand dude once he exits The Tonight Show as planned in 2009, with reports that ABC and Fox would like him to join their networks and Sony offering a nationally syndicated series to him.
