- The Jonas Brothers will take to the ice–sort of–when they help figure skating great Kristi Yamaguchi at her annual charity event October 12 in Phoenix. I’m sure they’ll get a warm reception–I just hope it’s not too warm…
- A pair of paparazzi trying to get pics of Britney Spears near her Studio City home Monday afternoon were arrested–for loitering on city-owned property. I’m sure those officers realize that these guys have a job to do–I just think the cops would prefer they do it trying to make babies laugh at Sears…
- Dark Knight star Christian Bale has denied allegations of assault made by his mother and sister in a statement made by his attorney after Bale was questioned by London police and then released without being charged. Maybe this is just a big misunderstanding–like they got mad because they think he’s deliberately not letting them get an autograph from Heath Ledger…
- The All-Star Game helped Fox win the TV ratings battle, as the game’s first 9 innings was the most-watched show last week. Of course, by the time the game actually ended, they were competing with a Billy Mays infomercial…
- The Hollywood Walk Of Fame is apparently in need of some serious TLC–the Chamber Of Commerce is trying to raise $4.2 million to repair and restore about a third of the Walk’s 2,365 total plaques. Raising money for damaged stars–sounds like a Lindsay Lohan benefit…

It’s her first album that doesn’t feature alter ego Hannah Montana–she’s just hoping she won’t need another Vanity Fair photo shoot for it to sell…
- Britney Spears’ role as mom took a turn for the better Friday, when an agreement between her and ex Kevin Federline’s attorneys was announced that will now give her three visits and two overnights per week with her two children Sean and Jayden. The deal must still be approved by the court, but anything these two can agree on that doesn’t involve limo drivers, security guards and paparazzi is a miracle…
- John Mayer recently said in a newspaper interview that he wants, quote, "do some camping, [and] learn to live in the wilderness. I want to get past the idea of relying on 21st-century accommodations." Of course, John’s idea of "wilderness" is anyplace he can’t post to his blog without using his Blackberry…
- A federal appeals court Monday overturned the $550,000 fine imposed by Federal Communication Commission’s against CBS for that infamous Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction", saying the FCC "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in fining the network for a fleeting image of nudity. At this point, the only thing left is how many Janet Jackson fans there are on the Supreme Court…
- Speaking of the Tiffany Network, they are on the hunt for a replacement for CSI star William Petersen, whose Gil Grissom will leave the show after the coming seasons’ 10th episode.

- Saturday Night Live’s next season will include a few Thursday nights as well, with a special edition of its Weekend Update skit to air October 9, 16, and 23–and a Presidential Bash special the night before the November 4 general election. They wanna give their Obama and McCain impressionists plenty of practice before figuring out which one keeps their job…

- Justin Timberlake steps onto the silver screen once again, this time in Mike Meyers’ The Love Guru, which is now in theatres.

That, and there are those 30 million people who saw him win…
- Entertainment Weekly will celebrate its 1,000th issue with a review of the best in pop culture over the past 25 years, with lists of best movies, TV shows, and albums.

- NBC News announced Thursday that its Nightly News anchorman Brian Williams will take over interim hosting duties at Meet The Press, less than a week after the sudden and shocking death of long-time host Tim Russert.

- Jordin Sparks told MTV in an email that she’s almost healed from a vocal cord hemorrhage and that she should be back on tour in a few more days.

- Famed photographer Annie Liebowitz is defending that controversial photo of Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair that Miley told fans she was sorry she did. Liebowitz says the shot has been "misinterpreted"–but I wonder if she’d feel the same way if it was her 15-year-old who looked topless in a fashion magazine…
- Grey’s Anatomy suffered its smallest audience ever for an original episode when it returned last week, and star Patrick Dempsey suggested that the wirter’s strike was the reason. It’s just a guess, but I think McDreamy is McDreaming…
