- Katy Perry didn’t waste any time taking I Kissed A Girl to the top, where she not only went to #1 on the Billboard chart made a bit of history as well. Her song became the 1,000th "Hot 100" #1 in what is commonly known as the "rock era"–which began with Rock Around The Clock hitting the top spot in 1955…
- Auditions for season 8 of American Idol will get underway soon, with a first session in San Francisco July 17–get the complete schedule from the official American Idol website. Producers hope they will find the next Kelly, Carrie, Daughtry, Jordin or David–and pray they don’t turn into Reuben, Fantasia, or Taylor…
- Madonna’s concert promotor Live Nation quashed any rumors about poor sales for her Sticky And Sweet tour, announcing Thursday that she has sold over a million tickets so far–representing 90 percent of all available seats for the tour. So far, she’s sold out dates in New York, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Toronto, Montreal, Paris and Mexico City–and, if reports are true, her husband as well…
- Amy Winehouse admits in a Rolling Stone interview that while she was in rehab at her record company’s request, she, quote, "did drugs the whole time". Well, that’s certainly a step in the right direction…
- Mr. "Mini-Me" Verne Troyer has struck back at an effort to release a sex tape of him and an ex-girlfriend, filing a $20 million violation-of-privacy and copyright-infringement suit against tabloid website TMZ for airing portions of the tape on their site and TV show. How embarassing it must be for him, imagining people watching him like that and saying, "How can he do that without falling down?"
- Paris Hilton has reportedly made a "generous" donation toward the construction of a new medical building on the site of LA’s Children’s Hospital, where she volunteered following her jail sentence last year. This is either the effect of her romance with Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden, or a mistaken attempt to buy some shoes…

- 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.

- 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…

- Amy Winehouse and Kanye West were the big winners at last night’s Grammy Awards, with Amy winning five of the six categories where she was nominated and Kayne picking up 4–although he again lost out on winning Best New Album. I just hope he didn’t try and fight Herbie Hancock for it…
- Fergie is aplogizing all over herself for a statement she made in a magazine interview when she said, "I’m the people’s artist–the same way Diana was the people’s princess". She says her New Year’s resolution is to "not treat interviews as therapy sessions"…
- Producer-extraordinare Timbaland says he is working on the world’s first album just for cell phone users. I image it’ll have titles like I Burned My Plan Minutes, Hot Pix Text, and Where’s My 3G?
- Rolling Stone’s latest issue features Britney Spears on the cover and a story about how her breakup with Justin Timberlake in 2002 set her on the downward spiral her life has been in ever since. True or not, does JT’s ego need any more stroking?
- Insider host Pat O’Brien is back in rehab, his second visit since 2005 when he entered for alcohol problems. No one is saying what the reason is this time–although it has to be an overdose of tabloid journalism…
- Brad Pitt reportedly had harsh words for a tabloid magazine that claimed he and Angelina Jolie increased security due to death threats that their daughter Shiloh had received. I can’t blame him–only real celebrities like him get death threats…
