  • Rihanna has herself another #1 hit in Take A Bow, as it took a giant leap on Billboard’s Hot 100 from the #53 spot after selling over a quarter million digital downloads in one week.  This would be the perfect occasion to celebrate with your boyfriend Chris Brown–it’s too bad the two of them are just "friends"…
  • Legendary singer/songwriter Neil Diamond has his first-ever #1 album in a 45-year career, as his CD Home Before Dark sold 146,000 copies–likely due to his appearance on American Idol two weeks ago.  Pretty impressive, considering his last hit song came before any of the contestants were born–let alone most of the audience
  • Madonna said in an interview this week that her kids Lourdes and Rocco are constantly bugging her about her work, asking, "When are you coming home? Why are you always working? Why can’t you be just like a normal mom?"  Then she shows them her Like A Virgin video, and they shut up fast…
  • Angelina Jolie has confirmed the news that her Kung Fu Panda co-star Jack Black leaked earlier–she is pregnant with twins and that she may give birth to them in France, but won’t divulge the sexes of the babies.  No problem–just give Jack a chance, and he’ll blurt that out too…
  • Denise Richards says that she and ex Charlie Sheen are not on good terms, that they, "don’t speak — at all", and that he, "cut me off of child support last week."  Of course, she also claims she didn’t wreck ex-pal Heather Locklear’s marriage to Richie Sambora by sleeping with him, so I guess it figures…
  • Anne Heche told a judge she can’t afford to pay nearly fifteen grand a month in spousal and child support to ex-husband Corey Lafoon because she hasn’t worked since mid-January, when her sitcom Men In Trees was cancelledBroke and sexually confused–that’s a nasty combination…

  • Madonna previewed her new album Hard Candy for fans last night at an exclusive New York show,  featuring Madge trading moves with Justin Timberlake on her hit 4 Minutes and generally not moving like most 49-year-old mothers of 3 do.  Considering the number of F-bombs she dropped, she’s not talking like one either…
  • People Magazine’s annual 100 Most Beautiful People list is out and it features Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Alicia Keys, Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson.  Why that guy Hurley from Lost didn’t get picked, I’ll never know…
  • Daughtry is getting serious in the competition for the best-selling American Idol contestant, as sales of his self-titled debut CD just hit 4 million.  Only Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have sold more so far–and yes, he did lose to Taylor Hicks
  • Mariah Carey’s E=MC2 topped the album charts for a second week in a row, but it’s likely to be unseated by the debut of Madonna’s Hard Candy, which is on target to sell about 300,000 copies.  The last time these two were ruling the charts we all liked Bill Clinton
  • David Blaine held his breath in a water-filled sphere for just over 17 minutes on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday, setting a world’s record.   What surprises me is that Simon Cowell of American Idol fame hasn’t tried this–he’s a big bag of wind
  • Tom Cruise is in talks to star in a fourth Mission: Impossible film.  The premise is a simple one–he has to convince the world that Katie Holmes really loves him and has not been brainwashed by Scientology

  • Taylor Swift’s self-titled CD has hit the triple-platinum mark, meaning she’s sold three million copies of it so far. And if there’s a better example of how a teenage musical sensation should handle herself, I haven’t seen it yet…
  • Whitney Houston’s concert appearance at a music festival on the island of Tobago was a disappointment to fans, as she struggled through performances, failed to hit the high notes and left the stage after just 30 minutes saying, "I love you Trinidad!"  On the good side, she didn’t try and get any audience members to give her drugs
  • Rihanna will team up with Maroon 5 for a duet of a song the band previously recorded called If I Never See Your Face Again, which will be on re-releases of both of their last albums coming out in June.  M5 frontman Adam Levine wanted to do a "battle of the sexes" version of the song and Rihanna was the first person he thought of, since he and the band are huge fans of hers…
  • CSI star Gary Dourdan, who plays investigator Warrick Brown, was arrested on drug charges when police found him asleep in his car with what appeared to be cocaine, heroin, Ecstacy, and prescription drugs in his possession.  I guess they didn’t buy his story that he was "preserving the chain of custody"…
  • Rosie O’Donnell has weighed in on the Miley Cyrus photo spread controversy, posting on her blog to "Leave Miley Cyrus alone…Disney [is] making her apologize", referring to the Vanity Fair photo that makes the 15-year-old Hannah Montana star appear topless.  Rosie figures she got rich and tried to wreck her career–someone else should get the chance, too…
  • A Rolling Stone article quotes a former LA madam as saying Charlie Sheen had been a regular customer of hers as late as last year, with one account of her dropping off 4 women at his penthouse and Sheen giving her a $20,000 check for several hours’ service.  I’d be totally disgusted with him if I weren’t so damn jealous
  • Ex rapper Vanilla Ice dodged a legal bullet when domestic battery charges against him were dropped after his wife recanted allegations that he kicked and struck her during an argument.  She knew better than to call him a pathetic fraud

  • Mariah Carey’s music is getting plenty of publicity these days, and now her new movie Tenessee will get its share as it debuts tomorrow night at the Tribeca Film Festival.  If she shows up for the screening, she’ll get more attention than festival founder Robert De Niro–and he won’t even mind
  • British police are investigating claims that Amy Winehouse assaulted a man earlier this week in London, with tabloid reports saying she punched out another guy, trashed a bar and smoked drugs on the sidewalk outside.  Once again we discover that sobriety and fame can be so fleeting
  • Rihanna may be getting her next hit song from Sinead O’Connor, who says she’s been asked to pen a tune for her based on some backing tracks already put together.  Sinead is a great songwriter and I’m sure it’ll turn out wonderfully–just as long as she doesn’t convince Rihanna to shave her head to sing it…
  • Actor Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison on tax evasion charges.  What a coicidence–he’ll be handy for filming the upcoming sequel Blade Behind Bars
  • Tom Cruise will be returning to The Oprah Winfrey Show next month to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his break-through role in Risky Business.  It’ll be great–Oprah’s had her couches super-reinforced this time…
  • Reports this week that O.J. Simpson was interested in appearing on Celebrity Apprentice have been addressed by both NBC and Donald Trump, with reps for both in unison–he was never considered and never will be.  It would have made for great drama–wondering if the Donald would fire him, or be too afraid the Juice would slit his throat

  • Mariah Carey is poised to break yet another chart record held by Elvis Presley–with her latest hit Touch My Body spending its second week at #1, she tied The King for most weeks at the top spot with 79.  It’s also her 18th number one song, breaking Elvis’ nearly 30-year-old record…
  • Mike Myers has some kind words for Justin Timberlake, who appears with him in the upcoming comedy The Love Guru, saying he’s, "the single most talented human being I’ve ever met in my life and it sickens me…he has zero percent body fat, he’s musically gifted, he had a great ear for accents and he’s hilarious."   Umm…that sorta sounds like a stalker crush to me…
  • Chris Brown and Rihanna keep denying that they’re a couple, but Jordin Sparks, Chris’ duet partner on the smash No Air, told a UK magazine they are definitely dating.   This is entertainment’s worst-kept secret since J-Lo’s marriage and Ashlee Simpson’s nose job…
  • 80’s fans will be in spiked hair and thin tie-heaven when the Regeneration Tour kicks off August 1 for a month-long run featuring Belinda Carlisle from the Go-Gos, The Human League, A Flock Of Seagulls, ABC, Dead Or Alive and Naked Eyes.  Visit the tour’s website for tour dates and ticket info…
  • Madonna said recently that New York "is not the exciting place it used to be", but it’s not stopping her from buying a $7 million apartment –which she plans to use to enlarge the 6,000 square foot duplex she already owns in the same building.  She does have a pretty big crew–her husband, two kids, the adopted boy from Malawi, her ego
  • How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris is not interested in a repeat appearance by Britney Spears on the sitcom, saying, "I’m in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed."  Neil’s just frustrated because Brit got more fan mail from cute guys than he did…
