 After months of denials by spokespeople, Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie made it official–they announced Wednesday that they are divorcing after 8 years of marriage. There are financial details to work out, since Madge is worth about a half-billion dollars and Ritchie, well, isn’t….- Billboard magazine reports that Britney Spears is definitely hitting the road next spring after cutting a tour deal with AEG Live, that it will be international, and visit midsize venues rather than theatres or stadiums. It sounds like another carefully-planned step made by her father, which proves that all celebrity parents aren’t publicity-seeking boobs that are painfully unaware of their childrens’ problems–but enough about Brit’s mom…
- Tina Fey still doesn’t know if she’ll return to Saturday Night Live this weekend to do her spot-on Sarah Palin impression–but CNN says that Palin herself will be a guest on the show. Wow–maybe Palin will do her Tina Fey impression…
- MTV’s Total Request Live, or TRL, says a final farewell November 16 and Beyonce will be there to mark the moment, telling the show Monday during an appearance that she owes a lot of success to them–both for her and Destiny’s Child. Maybe she’ll get husband Jay-Z to buy it and start his own channel–you know, Jigga TV…
- The mystery is over surrounding whatever was ailing Janet Jackson to force her to postpone 9 dates on her Rock Witchu tour–her reps announced Tuesday that she was diagnosed with a rare type of migraine-induced vertigo, but she’s receiving treatment and returned to performing Wednesday night in Washington DC. It must be great for her to resume her tour, and to realize that her only big headache isn’t brother Michael…
 ohn McCain tried to make peace with David Letterman Thursday night, telling the late-night host that "I screwed up" by canceling an earlier appearance on the show, then endured some pretty sharp questioning by Letterman about his campaign and Sarah Palin. I think afterwards, he probably would have preferred a debate with Hillary Clinton…

- Britney Spears isn’t suprised that so many of us were asking, "What was she thinking?" when she exhibited all that bizarre behavior a year ago–she told MTV in an interview for an upcoming documentary that she was actually thinking the same thing at the same time. This totall explains how she married Kevin Federline…
 Reps for Janet Jackson say she’s well enough now to return to her Rock Witchu tour Saturday, after scrapping shows in 6 cities due to a mystery illness that kept her under a doctor’s care. I’m still not convinced she didn’t get sick from her hairdo…- Rapper T.I. knows his musical success has given him a lot of influence over teens, and he takes it seriously–he says, "When I’m speaking to young people and they say, Who you voting for?,’ I say, Cut your PlayStation off and turn to CNN and listen…to each of the candidates’ platforms. Whoever you think is speaking passionately and intelligently and will do the things you think need changed, that’s who you vote for"…
 British singer Estelle has a huge hit with Kanye West called American Boy, and to hear it you’d think he’s that dude–but she says otherwise, telling the Houston Chronicle it would be more like, "Will Smith. Just a general, all-around sexy guy. I’m not too fussy." Apparently, too fussy for Kanye…- Gossip columnist Cindy Adams of the New York Post reports that Saturday Night Live is set to welcome Sarah Palin as a guest on its October 25th show. This could turn out to be a huge opportunity for Palin–if things don’t work out next month, she could join the cast as a Tina Fey impersonator …
  Look for Angelina Jolie to grace the November cover of W Magazine–breastfeeding one of her twins– Knox Leon or Vivienne Marcheline. Why do I guess that this issue will be snapped up by millions of Lara Croft fans?

- Idol star David Archuleta has not only seen his hit Crush go gold–that means sales of 500,000 units–but will see himself on TV when he makes a guest appearance on the Nickelodeon series iCarly, about a high school girl who runs a popular video blog with her friends. David will play himself–always the smart choice for the beginning actor…
  Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z will perform a pair of free concerts this weekend in support of Barack Obama, who has said that Jigga is one of his favorite artists. As these photos clearly show, Obama has a much bigger head about it than Jay-Z…- Britney Spears visited a Bronx middle school Wednesday to present them a $10,000 check to benefit their music program, which was donated in Brit’s name by cosmetics giant Elizabeth Arden. That’s true gratitude–especially for someone who’s probably sold a bottle or two of perfume for them…
- An attorney for photographer Jill Ishkanian, who placed a 911 call about Heather Locklear’s erratic driving, says his client runs a paparazzo agency and sold photos of Locklear’s arrest for $27,000, but said her actions were motivated by "civic duty" and concern for Locklear’s safety. While it’s true that her 911 call was just exactly what any concerned person should do for the safety of others, what others have said about Iskanian might say more about that call that concern…
 TV’s Tina Fey–whose sitcom 30 Rock is Emmy-rich for a second year in a row, and whose dead-on impression of Sarah Palin has been attracting record audiences to Saturday Night Live–is on the receiving end of a bidding war between publishers all anxious to have Fey write for them.- Rosie O’Donnell is returning to TV to host a live primetime special on NBC titled Rosie’s Variety Show, set to air Thanksgiving Eve–which may set up a permanent return to the tube for Rosie if the show is picked up as a series for next year. I think it’ll go just fine–as long as Elisabeth Hasselbeck isn’t one of the contestants…

- Poor Diddy–gas prices are so high that even he can’t fill up–his private jet that is, which he says he now runs him a quarter-million dollars for a coast-to-coast round trip. It has forced him to do the unthinkable–fly coach. He gives a somewhat humorous report on his dilemma on his YouTube video blog:
- People magazine is reporting that Jonas Brother Joe and Taylor Swift are indeed a couple, which explains why they each keep showing up at the other’s concerts. The pair continue to insist they’re just friends–which actually only works the first hundred times you’re seen together…
 It’s a new season of Saturday Night Live, kicking off September 13 with a very special premiere guest host that’s familiar to anyone who watched NBC’s most popular reality show this summer–Mr. Beijing Olympics himself, Michael Phelps. The Peacock Network says Phelps will be "making his acting debut"–which means that he’ll come out in his trunks and cast members Amy Poehler and Kristin Wiig will fight over which one gets to take them off…- Plain White T’s and All-American Rejects are among the musicians invited by Denny’s Restaurants to help create a new late-night "Rockstar Menu", with both bands contributing a unique menu item available between 10PM and 5AM. The angle is that bands on the road are particularly qualified to understand the need for a great late-night meal–which, in Denny’s case, only happens when you’re utterly blitzed beyond belief…
 Former One Day At A Time star McKenzie Phillips, whose tenure on the 70’s/80’s hit sitcom was affected by drug abuse, was arrested Wednesday at LA International Airport for–you guessed it–suspicion of drug possession. Maybe co-star Valerie Bertinelli will bail her out–as long as Phillips goes into rehab and joins Jenny Craig…- An opera based on the 1986 film The Fly–where a scientist played by Jeff Goldblum experiments on himself and turns into a giant insect–will open in LA soon, and star Daniel Okulitch said at a press conference that he hopes this will win over new opera fans and help them, "not feel as intimidated". Oh, you mean about watching a bunch of egotistical maniacs sing to one another while one of them turns into an enormous bug?

 New mom Gwen Stefani (pictured here incredibly any-minute-now pregnant!) has left the hospital with her second child with rocker husband Gavin Rossdale, baby boy Zuma Nesta Rock. It’s good news for that other Gwen–Apple is no longer the world’s stupidest celebrity baby name…- Kid Rock has bucked the current trend of putting his music on iTunes–and the huge success of his hit All Summer Long has forced anyone who wants the song to buy his CD Rock And Roll Jesus at their local music retailer. It’s put the album, released almost a year ago, in the Top 10 and pushed it to double platinum status–not to mention really irritating Steve Jobs…
- Pink is singing one thing and saying another, as she claims her new song So What is not a dig at her estranged husband Carey Hart–despite the song’s video depicting her taking a chainsaw to a tree engraved with the couple’s names on it. Pink claims it’s the musical version of "when a kindergartener goes up and punches a girl he likes and runs away", and insists Hart is "my darling" and "it’s all good"–and maybe explains why they’re estranged…
- Malaysia’s government has apparently done an about-face on their stance opposing Avril Lavigne’s concert there this coming Friday night–officials now say her show in Kuala Lumpur may go on, although the nation’s arts and culture ministry will reportedly monitor the concert to "ensure that the performances do not clash with the Malaysian culture and values". So–how much was the payoff, and which official got it?
  Former Saturday Night Live cast member Chris Kattan has split with his wife, model Sunshine Tutt, after a virtual Hollywood eternity of wedded bliss–8 whole weeks. What do you figure–he did that Mango bit one time too many?- Ed McMahon has passed on Donald Trump’s offer to buy McMahon’s home, which is in danger of foreclosure, and then lease it back to McMahon and his wife. Ed will instead sell the home to another party, likely deciding he wanted the Donald as a landlord about as much has he would want Jay Leno as a boss…
