Avril Lavigne is having difficulty performing a concert in Malaysia, where officials say her show would be, "unsuitable to Malaysian culture" and its scheduled date of August 29 is too close to the nation’s independence celebration. Avril needs to follow the lead of Beyonce, who was in a similar situation recently–she made sure her costumes were inoffensive, her songs weren’t controversial, and her multi-zillion dollar husband was standing by just in case to write them a big check…
The Olympics have been good to Michael Phelps, and Michael Phelps has been very good to NBC–its coverage of the summer games grabbed the top 7 spots in TV ratings last week, pulling in an average audience of 28.7 million. Al Roker had better hope Phelps has no major weatherman aspirations…

Apparently, the villan for the rest of the movie was the stunt coordinator…

Attorneys for Britney Spears were back in court Thursday, this time to revisit the conservatorship established to put her father Jamie in charge of her affairs. As expected, he will remain in charge through the end of the year–which should give ex-manager Sam Lufti enough time to find another helpless celebrity to try and control…
Convicted boy-band impressario Lou Pearlman has ratted out a fellow federal prison inmate accused of murder, after Pearlman overheard him admit to the crime. Pearlman is likely hoping to have his sentence reduced–which likely will happen once the prison population hears the news…
A new TV ad by John McCain tries to compare Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, flashing pictures of them while the ad refers to Obama as "the biggest celebrity in the world". Now that’s just silly–everybody knows it’s that guy on Lost…
Jordin Sparks has slightly different summer plans from most artists–she’s spending two weeks at a Christian athletics camp in Colorado that she’s been attending for many years. It’s great that she wants to try and just be a kid while she can–I just hope her fellow campers won’t be putting her 3-legged race on YouTube…
Rihanna has cut a deal to star in a new ad campaign for Gucci that ties in to their collaboration with UNICEF–she’ll be featured wearing limited-edition designs, which Gucci in turn will turn over 25% of sales to the world-wide children’s fund. So she’s looking good and doing good…
A scheduled custody hearing Tuesday for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline was postponed until Friday–and some are speculating that it may be because lawyers for both sides are working to settle the case.

Law And Order alum Benjamin Bratt stars in a new series on cable’s A&E Network called The Cleaner, where he plays a recovering alcoholic who is moved by a relationship with God to help others eliminate their personal demons.

Madonna plans to attend the All-Star game in Yankee Stadium Tuesday night–where Alex Rodriguez will be among the starters. While many love to speculate, those in the know say she’s just taking advantage of the gossip to help promote her Sticky And Sweet tour–that’s the Madge we know and love…
Rihanna continues to insist that she and Chris Brown are just friends, telling ABC’s The View on Monday, "We are not dating"–meanwhile, gossip reports quote Chris’ mom as saying, "Rihanna is the sweetest and sexiest girl Chris has ever dated." These two are not dating about as much as J-Lo wasn’t pregnant…
Katy Perry of I Kissed A Girl fame has definitely got boys on her mind, as Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes told a reporter that he bought her a "promise ring" and that he wears a silver band with "Katy" inscribed on it. That is definitely cute, but I was sort of expecting matching nose rings or tattoos…
The slow housing market has affected Usher’s plans to sell his Atlanta home–he’s cut the asking price $300,000 to an even $2 million. Maybe if he offered to do a couple of free shows for the new owners, he could seal the deal…
Amy Winehouse’s dad Mitch has backed off his claim that she has early-stage emphysema, telling BBC Radio Monday that she has "traces of emphysema…obviously if she doesn’t quit smoking, it’s gonna get worse". This is either spin from her publicist, or Pops is hitting the pipe too…
Even more photographers have come forward to say they were also attacked by a group of surfers while trying to get shots of Matthew McConaughey riding the waves. McConauahey reportedly had nothing to do with the alleged altercation–unless they thought he was serious about giving them parts in Jaws 4…
An Idaho judge has thrown out a $2.5 million lawsuit filed by Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, who claimed the contractor who built their home made numerous "design deficiencies, errors and omissions". They plan to appeal the decision–I’m pretty sure Hanks has no interest in having his own real-life Money Pit sequel…
Miley Cyrus’ dad Billy Ray has weighed in on why he didn’t speak up about his daughter’s much-talked-about Vanity Fair photo shoot, saying he left before they shot the most controversial photo and did not realize it would even be taken.

The judge supervising Britney Spears’ estate has granted her permission to sell her Studio City home so that she can relocate to another LA community called Calabasas. With a name like that, it’ll take the paparazzi weeks just to learn how to spell it…
The folks at PETA are none too pleased with Jessica Simpson for sporting a T-shirt that says "Real Girls Eat Meat", slamming her in a statement that said, "…the woman who thought that Buffalo Wings came from buffalo would benefit from some good veggie brain food." It’s just a waste of time–I’m sure she thinks they’re that bread with a pocket in it…
Rihanna is in New York to partner with Cartier jewelers and sell a specially designed "love bracelet:"–with 10% of the proceeds from first-day sales going to her charity foundation, "Believe".

Joan Rivers was booted off a British daytime TV talk show during a live broadcast yesterday after Rivers cursed while talking about Russell Crowe, calling him a "f***ing piece of s**t".

The people of Milwaukee honored one of their own–on TV at least–when they unveiled a bronze statue of Arthur Fonzerelli, better known as "The Fonz" from 70’s sitcom icon Happy Days. Most of the cast of the show was on hand, except for the guy who played Potsie–he spent the day on the show’s Hollywood set, wondering where everybody else was…
