- 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…
- A Long Island resident claims that Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels has stolen his ideas and used them in the show, insisting that Michaels "somehow" tapped into his private conversations. Considering that this guy has also been charged with stalking Michaels, his wack job credentials are definitely confirmed…

- It appears that Beyonce and rap mogul Jay-Z are marrying, with a report that the pair took out a New York marriage license yesterday which is valid for 60 days. I guess that means his Big Pimpin’ days are over…
- Chris Brown has continued to deny that he and Rihanna are romantically involved, and now it’s her turn, telling MTV, "Me and Chris are really best, best friends….we are best friends, honestly, like brother and sister. If he was a boyfriend, I would say that." You know, this sounds like a husband, caught in the arms of another woman by his wife, saying, "Honey, this is not what it looks like…"
- Britney Spears has returned to her original manager–as in the one who first made her famous–for the first time in over a year. I guess Sam Lufti will have to go back to his old job–stalker…
- Singing and dancing topped TV ratings last week, as American Idol again grabbed the top two spots with Dancing With The Stars finishing third and fourth. Let’s face it–there’s nothing more satisfying than watching someone do something you could never hope to do, and then criticize the living hell out of it…
- Jay Leno took some heat for comments he made on The Tonight Show last week when he asked guest Ryan Phillippe, whose first acting role was as a gay teen on a soap opera, to give Leno his "gayest look"–something to which gay and lesbian advocacy groups objected. They probably would have preferred having the look directed at them…
- Veteran actor Maion Ross is probably best known for her years on Happy Days playing the squeaky-clean Mrs. Cunningham, but she says she’s delighted with her new gig–the spoof comedy Superhero Movie, where she plays someone with a very dirty mouth. For Mrs. C., that would have been someone who said, "Crap" a lot…

- Fall Out Boy will make history when it performs March 25 for a group of research scientists in Antarctica–they’ll become the only band to perform on all seven continents of the world in less than a years’ time. Exactly how many frequent-flyer miles is that exactly?
- Britney Spears’ "friend" and one-time manager Sam Lufti, who’s been ordered to legally keep his distance from her, is officially protesting the court commissioner presiding over Brit’s conservatorship case. Isn’t that like a wolf complaining to a rancher about the fence keeping him away from the sheep?
- An Australian man who impersonated Richie Sambora will go to prison for swindling banks there out of $25 millions in fraudulent loans. Bad luck for this bloke if his cellmate is a big Bon Jovi fan…
- American Idol again dominated TV ratings last week with both shows grabbing the top 2 spots, and reality TV holding 8 of the top 10 positions. The network suits and their bean-counters are laughing all the way to the bank–that once held their writers’ money…
- A new CBS reality series called Secret Talents Of The Stars will showcase the heretofore unknown abilities of D-list celebrites like George Takei of Star Trek fame, Malcom-Jamal Warner from The Cosby Show, Danny Bonaduce and Ben Stein. I think they all have the same skill–the ability to still find themselves on TV…
- Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the infamous "Kristen" linked to former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, was offered a million dollars to appear in the Girls Gone Wild tour and magazine–until the staff there discovered they already had plenty of wild and naked video of her from 5 years ago. Does this mean she won’t be able to exploit her degrading and illegal behavior into a shameless and degrading payday–isn’t that un-American?

- Janet Jackson was hospitalized with the flu and has canceled her appearance this weekend on Saturday Night Live. The show thus far has not announced a replacement–maybe they’ll just let cast member Keenan Thompson do his Janet impression…
- OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder is collaborating with Kelly Clarkson for her next album, which should be out later this year. Ryan is not only responsible for his bands’ hits Apologize and Stop And Stare, but has written for Jennifer Lopez and Natasha Bedingfield…
- Jon Bon Jovi and family have just moved into a duplex in Manhattan’s trendy SoHo district for the bargain price of just $24 million. So who says you can’t go home?
- Once again, it was all American Idol atop the TV ratings, as all three shows from last week once again finished 1,2, and 3. In fact, there were only two scripted shows–Fox’s New Amsterdam and Lost–that even made the Top Ten, which makes TV writing just about as secure a professtion as cliff divers…
- Dawn Wells–better known to the world as Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island–spent a few days in an Idaho jail for an October arrest for pot possession she claimed wasn’t hers. Take a look at her mug shot and tell me if you think she was maybe fibbing just a bit…
- A global language group says the line "Just call it, frend-o" from No Country For Old Men is the film phrase that has most influenced the English language–although it was only uttered in the film’s trailer and not in the movie itself. That may be true, but that characters’ cute Mary Lou Retton hairdo has most influenced the future of good grooming…

- What a surprise–the Lohan family will be getting their very own reality series, as it follows mom Dina’s effort to make her 14-year-old daughter Ali a star with help from her 2 brothers and LiLo herself from time to time. I’m really grateful for parents like her–she makes me look like a genius dad…
- Pink and husband Carey Hart are headed for divorce–only it’s hard to tell from their words, as Hart recently said, "We are the best of friends and she is the love of my life. We talk all the time." Pink has also publicly expressed her affection for him, and both say it’s not about anger, cheating or fighting–so that means one of them has to be gay, right?
- A new video from duet Gnarls Barkley has run into problems at MTV, who say its Seventies-style strobe effects caused it to fail the Harding Test–guidelines to prevent TV images from causing seizures in viewers who suffer from epilepsy. I’m certainly glad they have this test–I don’t have epilespsy, but the less I barf in front of my TV the better…
- Lou Pearlman, the man behind the success of Backstreet Boys and N ‘Sync, has made a deal with prosecutors who accused him of bilking investors out of $300 million over the years, agreeing to testify against others in exchange for reduced charges that could still send him to prison for 25 years. He could find his next super group there–how about The Bloody Squealers?
- American Idol again dominated TV last week, with all three of its shows taking the top 3 spots in the ratings battle. Oprah’s Big Give made a big splash in its premiere, coming in fourth with Deal Or No Deal completing an all-reality series Top Five–once again, thank you striking writers…
- Paris Hilton will guest star as herself on the return of NBC’s hit sitcom My Name As Earl. Apparently, she’s being told that it’s just another episode of The Real Life…
