- 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…

- Madonna launched the US leg of her Sticky And Sweet tour Saturday from New Jersey’s Izod Center, and the consensus of reports suggested her show is more acrobatic than erotic. She was impressive by all accounts, but how sleazy can a 50-year-old mother of two really be?
- Crunk king Lil’ Jon, one of Britney Spears’ collaborators on her upcoming Circus CD, told People magazine that the album has the goods to put her back on top, adding, "It’s going to be a big album. Britney is very intelligent and she’s really set up [for success]. She is focused and she wants it again, so it’s definitely going to happen for her." That’s high praise indeed–not to mention nice to know he can say more than just "Yeah!"…
  The Jonas Brothers say that the inspiration for their current single Lovebug was the movie Juno, as Nick explains, "Juno was one of our favorite movies at the time, and the soundtrack is…kind of odd, so we decided to put those elements in the song, and it came [together] very nicely." America’s favorite clearn-cut heartthrobs inspired by a wacky pregnant teen–has anybody told the suits at Disney?- Janet Jackson continues to postpone concerts on her Rock Witchu tour, with performances in Greensboro, North Carolina Saturday, Atlanta Sunday, and Fort Lauderdale Tuesday delayed, along with shows in Montreal, Boston and Philadelphia–this after a doctor in Greensboro advised her not to perform because it was "evident" she had not recovered from whatever is ailing her. I certainly hope she isn’t turning back into Michael…
 Olympic gold medal beach volleyball star Misty May-Treanor was hurt Friday and may be forced to end her competition on Dancing With The Stars, with a source stating that the injury to her Achilles heel would require surgery. Maybe the show would let her sub v-ball partner Kerri Walsh in–she looks good in a two-piece outfit too…- The former headmistress of the school Oprah Winfrey owns in South Africa has filed a $250,000 suit against the talk show queen, claiming Oprah made defamatory remarks about her following reports that a female employee at the school was sexually abusing students there. Oprah has two choices–fight the suit tooth and nail, or settle and simply postpone her next shopping trip…

- Mariah Carey has confirmed to People magazine that she did marry Nick Cannon on April 30 in the Bahamas and provided them with exclusive wedding pictures–including shots of their new tattoos. There’s nothing that says true love better than burning someone’s name into your skin…
- Hopefully Mariah’s new marriage will take the sting out of losing the top spot on the album sales chart, as Madonna’s Hard Candy has debuted there with 280 thousand copies sold–and giving her one more number one than the new Mrs. Nick Cannon…
- Amy Winehouse has been arrested again for drug use–although it centers on a video police received earlier this year allegedly showing Winehouse smoking crack. Of course, officers only wanted to question her about it–if it was her, they could upload it to YouTube and be famous…
- Barbara Walters’ recent comments on Oprah about having to keep Star Jones’ gastric bypass a secret elicited this reaction from Jones: "It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me, all for the sake of selling a book." Apparently a publicist crafted this based on Star’s actual reaction of "Kill da b**ch! Kill da b**ch!"…
- Dan Rather has re-submitted his lawsuit against CBS, claiming he could not get hired by other networks because of how he was treated by his bosses in the fallout from his 2004 story about President Bush’s military service. Dan is working for cable channel HDNet, but it’s not really the same–he only gets air time when the yodeling guy is unavailable…
- The Chicago Sun Times reports that John Mayer apparently logs all of his romantic conquests in something called a "fame booK", containing a diary-like record of his time with them along with personal photos, notes from them, clippings of articles about them and emails they’ve sent to him. The richer they get, the weirder they get…

- 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…

- Mariah Carey is apparently a married woman again, as a tourism official from the Bahamas said that Mariah and actor Nick Cannon were married on Windemere Island there last week and another source confirming the pair obtained a marriage license from another Bahamian island. Mariah has repeatedly denied it happened, but I hear Nick has told every single person he knows plus a large number of total strangers…
- OneRepublic lead singer Ryan Tedder injured his Achilles tendon badly enough that it required immediate surgery–he’ll be fine, but the band was forced to cancel or postpone the rest of the dates on their current tour. Ryan apologized to fans and said he hoped they’d be able to reschedule all the scrapped shows…
- Looks like Amy Winehouse will not be singing the theme for the upcoming James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace, as her producer says she is, "not ready to record music" and believes that completing the project would require, "some miracle of science". Perhaps Amy can help–she must know plenty about chemistry…
- An ad in Monday’s USA Today that attacks ignition interlocks–proposed devices that will meaure a drivers’ blood-alcohol level before permitting the vehicle to start–used Lindsay Lohan’s now-infamous DUI mug shot to suggest that it’s only people like her that need such technology. LiLo’s people were furious about the ad, saying they knew for a fact she had looked much better on several other arrests…
- Tom Cruise was on Oprah Friday for the first time since his couch-jumping escapade three years ago, and told her, "That was a moment, and it was real, and I don’t know if I would [do it differently]. I really don’t." I’m pretty sure that the people financing his films would be jumping on their couches if he tried it again…
- CSI star Gary Dourdan reportedly emailed a TV tabloid reporter to clear the air about his arrest on drug possession charges last week, claiming that the drugs found in his car were in the luggage of another person and that he was cooperating "in any way to clear myself and go on with my blessed life." He should consider himself blessed, putting his stash in somebody else’s property…
