  • 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…
  • Michael Phelps-click to enlargeIt’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…
  • One Day At A Time cast--McKenzie Phillips, Bonnie Franklin, Valerie BertinelliFormer 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?

  • OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder is less than pleased that Idol runner-up David Archuleta is singing his band’s hit Apologize every night on the Idols Live tour, saying it’s "bizarre."  I think what really bugs him is how Archuleta’s dad keeps calling to find out what else he’s got that his kid can sing…
  • It’s no wonder that Madonna is unhappy about the book her brother Chris has written about her life–among the dirt he dishes, he says she has a huge picture of herself–displayed in full view of her kids–wearing S&M gear laying on a bed of dead animals, plus he claims that current husband Guy Ritchie is a homophobe.  Sounds like somebody’s name is getting scratched off the Hannukah gift list…
  • The Jonas Brothers seem to cause a commotion wherever they perform, and a recent show in Dallas was no exception–only it was Taylor Swift creating a buzz in the audience trying to watch the show.  Based on how she was acting, she was more interested in getting the boys’ attention than the fans’…
  • It’s finally Brangelina Babies time, as Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins–a healthy boy and a girl–Saturday evening at a hospital in Nice.  They were named Vivienne Marcheline, which is Angie’s late mom’s name, and Knox Leon–named for where the money they get from selling the kids’ pictures will go…
  • Miss Venezuela was crowned Miss Universe in Vietnam Sunday night, and for the second year in a row the Miss USA contestant managed to trip on her evening gown and fall on her keister.  It’s aR lot of pressure for pageant owner Donald Trump–he doesn’t like being the "butt" of anyone’s jokes…
  • The Wall Street Journal’s website reports that NBC Universal and Law And Order creator Dick Wolf are at odds over the way the network promotes and distributes his long-running and still-popular franchises.  Wolf argues that the network overexposes his shows–which gave him an instpriation to get Madonna for an upcoming episode…

  • Mariah Carey talked to Ellen DeGeneres yesterday and told her that since her wedding to Nick Cannon was a very private affair, they’re e planning to do the ceremony again in a year so more people can share in their happiness.  Plus, think of all the extra wedding shower presents she can score…
  • CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother got another "Britney Boost" from Britney Spears’ guest appearance on the show Monday night, with another half million more viewers tuning in than normal.  This may very well lead to more episodes featuring her next season–and a new way for K-Fed to experience career humiliation
  • Taylor Swift will be the spokesperson for a new line of jeans sold at Wal-Mart called L.E.I., which stands for Life, Energy, Intelligence.  Add those to the doll they sell in her likeness, and Taylor is jazzed that fans can now find her in the toy, fashion and music departments…
  • Is reality TV is starting to fade in popularity? Survivor’s finale Sunday failed to make the Top Ten and American Idol–still the most popular show on TV–has suffered a steady decline in viewers this season.  Could it be that hype–the fuel that makes reality programming go–has finally jumped the shark?
  • Drew Barrymore was recently the victim of a hit-and-run driver, and instead of dutifully waiting for the police to arrive, she chased the other vehicle to a restaurant and had a heated exchange with the driver. Apparently all that training for those Charlie’s Angels movies just kicked in…
  • Model Marissa Miller tops Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 list of the world’s most beautiful women, with the magazine’s editor commenting, "To see her in person is to see somebody who could not look bad if their life depended on it."  In other words, the flip side of Joan Rivers

  • Madonna has announced she will launch her worldwide Sticky And Sweet  tour in Wales August 23, with dates in both Europe and the US through November 26, with tickets for the American leg on sale May 17.  Get the itinerary and ticket information from tour promoter Live Nation
  • Mariah Carey will be on The Ellen Degeneres Show on Tuesday for what Ellen’s people are calling a "world-wide exclusive interview".  Does that mean they won’t be talking about her recent marriage–like she already did in People magazine?
  • Taylor Swift says she was a bit beside herself when John Mayer introduced himself to her at recent gala, as she quoted a number of things he’d written in his blogs and adding, "He was probably thinking that I’m a stalker, but he was amazing and sweet."  That’s nice–just be sure he doesn’t add you to his "Fame Book"( see Showbiz Stuff–May 8)…
  • Alec Baldwin has taken an interest in politics, telling 60 Minutes that "there’s no age limit on running for office, to a degree. [It is] something I might do one day."  Perhaps–if you can rid yourself of that "pompus dork" stigma…
  • Ex sitcom star and teen heartthrob Scott Baio is executive producing a reality series for VH1 that’s about guys just like him–male teen idols from the ’80’s and ’90’s who are trying to get their careers back on track.  What’s the chances they’ll get stuck with that jerk that played Screech from Saved By The Bell?
  • An L.A. model has accused Lindsay Lohan of stealing thousands of dollars worth of clothes from her home during a party last year.  Clouding the issue is the fact that the model did let LiLo take some of her wardrobe–in other words, we’re dealing with twin bimbos
