Rihanna Seems To Have Forgiven Chris Brown

They reportedly have reconciled and are staying at one of Diddy's houses in Miami.

Here's a picture of Chris looking happy and jet-skiing.



Just curious--is it our business to say yay or nay as to whether she should choose to be with him still?

Michael K of D-Listed and I think exactly alike!

Drew Barrymore to Direct Third Twilight Movie?!

Well, that might be interesting. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but the rumor is she is up for consideration. She does have majah producing cred and just directed Whip It! starring Ellen Page.

Can you see Drew directing Kristen Stewart? Or Robert Pattinson? She is a fan of Hot Hollywood guys, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some additional directing going on behind the scenes...

Not an insult, Drew! Who wouldn't want to direct Rob?

Our Favorite Friend

Has anyone noticed that Jen Aniston loves to bearhug her Famous Friends in pictures? No...so it's just me who has? Well, I'm a bearhugger too, and I like to notice other affectionate gals like myself. So here's our "Friend"ly favorite givin' love around town.

Britney Working with that Magician/Waiter Max from Saved by the Bell

Cuz he's an actual magician you know. Here is what Ed Alonzo has to reveal about the tour:

“We’re going to be doing the classics of magic but a little high-tech. We’ll be doing a little dissection, transposition, a vanish, an appearance—and if I do a trick, she doesn’t just hold the props, she’s actually getting inside the big boxes or I am slicing her up… Some of it’s pretty scary, but she [Britney] gets right in there with no reservations.”

Just don't have her disapper into thin air, Ed! (heh heH)

Shorties

Paula Abdul is probably being told by producers to continue to drum up some publicity by saying American Idol doesn't need a fourth judge in order to offend her friend Kara, who did say she was hurt by those comments...and now Abdul was probably told to scale the "feud" back by saying she didn't mean Kara...but all the other Fourth Judges. (?)

This will be the last season of The Hills (per Lead Actress Lauren Conrad). Brace yourself for the Speidi Spinoff!

Chris Brown is taking Anger Management classes, and Rihanna was spotted sunning outside looking thankfully healed and radiant.

Idol Perfromances Part Deux

Jasmine Murray: 17-year-old girl part of the "Divas" singing group during Hollywood week. Picked a song that could not have fit her vocal regsiter less. Next.

Matt Giraud: Promising Dueling Piano player who picked Viva La Vida to sing. At first I thought, hey, this could a Blake Lewis style organically original performance! Well the judges didn't dig bit and neither did I. I like him, but something about his speaking voice irks me. And his Elliot Yamin teeth.

Jeanine Vailes: Terrible. No wonder we never have heard her sing in clips yet.

Norman Gentile: I like his schtick, but I don't find it particularly funny. I just find it weird, and AI can flourish with a little weird.

Alison Iraheta: I didn't get to see it, but I heard it was great! Lil' Kelly Clarkson in training?

Kris Allen: What's this, a cute boy? HMMMmMMMMMMmmmmmmM. Actually, he's not really my type, but I've been clamoring for some eye candy, and he gave me somma dat and lot more talent too! Was a confident little cub in his performance of Man in the Mirror. Can he make it through despite lack of airtime?

Megan Joy Corkerey: Anyone notice the "Joy" inserted to her stage name? Anyway, right song, right look, and dare I say it--right Utah Mom demographic with a little Tattoo Street Cred mixed in to give her that extra vote push.

Matt Breitzke: I didn't think it was so bad--I love Tonic too! Sure, he was a little hammy onstage, but what do you expect from an amateur performer of his disposition?

Jesse Langseth: Single Mom Part a Million this season. Was cool as a cat for singing Bette Davis Eyes, but Simon's right, not a big enough song to get people excited.

Kai Kalama: Yes, corny. He's not making it through.

Mishannova Henson: Weird song choice, and yes, she does seem 28 and not 18.

Adam Lambert: Well isn't he the little star of the show! The Broadway Beauty belted some Rolling Stones' Satisfaction and was some hot shit. Is this Producers' Pet a definite lock, or he is too ahead of the time for this show? Potentially Freddie Mercury type of performer?

Safe Predictions:

Adam, Megan Joy, annd...Alison?

They Broke Up! The Girl Next Door and Magician Edition

Holly Madison and Criss Angel have broken up. (*crickets*)

Maybe it's because they totally rushed ther relationship and she was talking marriage and babies by month 2 after an 8-year relationship with Hef?

Don't worry Holly--you will get married and have babies someday! Just don't pick playboy octogenarians or playboy magicians.

Sam Lutfi Still Trying to Ruin Britney's Life

The latest:

According to Britney's hairdresser Roberta Romera, Obsessed Sam sent her several text messages trying to relay messages to Britney but first places several phone calls, not identifying himself and saying he wanted to "help Britney."

When Britney discovered the texts, she asked her to text him telling him to stop trying to contact her. When that didn't stop, they went to the head of her Security who placed a call to him telling him if he didn't stop they would contact the police.

This is why they want to extend the restraining order.

LEAVE BRTINEY ALONE! For realz. We all make dumb choices and associate ourselves with the wrong people at times, but we should be allowed to move on from our mistakes and not feel stalked. We're praying for you, Britney.

Lauren Conrad's Ex Officially Hooking Up With Hilton

Yep, here's a photo of them jetting on a plane to Tokyo.


They have allegedly been hooking up for weeks now.

What a downgrade from Lauren and Amanda Bynes, Dougie. For shame; you tasted fame, thought it was good, and now you feanin.'

Lindsay Lohan's Dad Trying to "Help" Again

I don't know what to think of this guy. Obviously, he's a publicy-loving nutjob...but in his few clarify-filled moments, he has always seemed genuinely concerned about Lil' Lindzy. Here's his latest tweets:

question of the day... how far would u go to saved a loved one whos in obvious need of help?

What do you think? Straight-up Nutjob or Nutjob who Cares?

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green--Split!

Per Us Weekly:

"The relationship had run its course," an insider tells Us exclusively. "It's completely amicable, and they are remaining friends."

Well, she is an upcoming A-list actress, and he's...best known for 90210. So we can speculate on that.

Wonder who they'll date next?? Yes "they." Megan obviously is the draw, but Brian has had is string who shockingly hot girlfriends inclding Tiffani-Amber Theissen and baby mama Vanessa Marcil.

Scoops n' Spoilers!

According to eonline.com's Kristin Dos Santos:

The L Word

"Who Killed Jenny?"

'You want to know who really shot Jenny? Everyone just assumes that it's Alice (Leisha Hailey) because the spinoff in prison is centered on her, but as she told me at TCA, she could be wrongfully accused. Truth be told, even the cast doesn't know.' Kate French tells me most of the series finale was shot against a green screen, saying, 'I think they did that to throw us all off. Maybe it'll just be my mug shot. Maybe I [killed Jenny].' "

True Blood

"Sookie's power is not unique to her. She'll meet a young Texan named Barry who reads minds, and they freak each other a little when they discover each other's powers. Also, great news for us Eric fans: We'll be catching up with him in 10th century Scandinavia, likely when he was first turned into a vampire."

Sex & The City (The Sequel)

Charlotte's hubby might be KILLED! Here's what the actor has to say:

"Evan Handler, aka Charlotte's faithful yet hairy-backed hubby Harry Goldenblatt

'They could kill me off before the movie even starts,' Evan tells me. 'It's always possible that Harry has had a massive coronary and Charlotte is set free.'

Uh, TMI, Cheryl Burke!

Cheryl Burke of Dancing With the Stars has gained some weight. Consequently, the tabloids have been rather mean to her. So, like many celebs, she decided to speak out:

"I decided over the summer to stop taking birth control pills. I did it thinking that I was going to lose more weight for the season," she tells the latest issue of TV Guide. "But it actually did the opposite. It made me gain weight."

What is sadder--the reason she stopped taking them or the excuse of gaining weight?

WHY does she even think she needs to provide an explanation?? And I'm sorry, the birth-control-pill-made-me-gain-weight excuse is equivalent to my-thyroid-made-me-do-it explanation in my book. It's usually just a few pounds, mmk?

Lady, you still look great! Rise about the gossip like a phoenix and don't be all TMI and provide a phony excuse about it!

DAMN! The Hills Trailer is looking GOOD!

There's a REAL Heidi and LC reunion! MAJAH tears are involved!!

Best Actor: NOT Mickey Rourke (boo) but Sean Penn for Milk. Surprisingly un-angry speech and nice shoutout to Mickey.
Best Actress: Kate Winslet. First Oscar ever.
Best Film: Slumdog Millionaire.

I'll post pics and talk catty a little later.

Alleged Injured Rihanna Photo

This is allegedly the photo of Rihanna right after the Chris Brown incident.



We don't know who leaked it, or if this 100% real.

Today is Rihanna's 21rst birthday, btw.

First Night of Real Idol!

What did you think? Did you swoon when all the judges swooned? Barfed when they barfed? (Do you notice that they all swoon and barf together?) Anyhoo, here is my "Idle" opinion of last night:

Jackie Tohn !: (aka New York Girl Clamoring for Attention by Being the Crazy Rocker Girl) Covered Elvis's "Conversation" song--a little too much conversation for me, honey, not enough strong singing.

Ricky Braddy: To me, he is Clay Aiken. Think about it. The North Carolina accent, the vocals, the likely fan base. If you liked him, you like Clay Aiken. That's my equation, and I'm sticking to it.

Alexis Grace: Lotsa praise for this little lady, and she is good, but I think she seems a little artificial. Or maybe amateuer. But amateur ain't bad on a show like this.

Brent Keith: Horrible, and I hate horrible excuses like, "But America will like me!" ALSO, I love how everyone is playing the "I'm-a-blue-collar worker-card when they're, like, former stars of Nashville Star or a Calendar Model, which leads me to...

Casey Carlson: Yep, she sucked, but she was sexy when she whimpered "everything he does just turns me on," yeah?

Stevie Wright: Now I didn't think she was that bad! Vocals were not great, but I liked that song, and her little excited jumping on stage. But she's out.

Michael Sarver: Not great, not horrible, kinda karaoke actually, but a true blue collar worker.

Anoop Desai: ANOOP! I LOVE YOU! I'm on the bandwagon, fo sho! He has such a nice tone to his voice, and I love me some geeks. Wonder if they will make him pluck his eyebrows?

Stephen Fowler: Ugh, he was so my fave, but he did a corny performanse, I agree. Sigh. Hopefully America or the judges can see his Cool Dude potential though.

Anne Marie Boskovich: I like her. She has potential and her tone is pretty. She will get through on wild card.

Tatiana del Toro: OH MY! She played the subdued card last night! That clever bitch! Look, we all know she isn't terrible, but she is totally playing mind games with us. Is she crazy or just confused? I think she's smarter than she seems by confusing us with her "I'm not crazy...tonight...game." It's like when Sanjaya wouls tease us with a crazy hairdo and horrible performance one night, and then be normal-ish the next night. And that took him far. CRACKED UP when The Toro put in her little plea to the audience "to vote because this is my dream." Only this bull would say that bullshit, cloying line!

Danny Gokey: He was great, wasn't he? Definite early favorite. But too much hype?


Safe Predictions: Anoop, Danny, Alexis

Eminem Has a New Number One

"Crack the Bottle," the Dre-Eminem-Fiddy collaboration has hit number one on the charts, selling 418,000 copies.

Really? I like these guys a lot, but the song sounds so...late 90s. Hmm. Come to think of it, so late 90s Eminem. Congrats to them, but they can do better than this!

What do ya think?

Salma Hayek Marries Baby Daddy Billionaire!

They had originally called off the engagement in July, but perhaps abscense (or their adorable daughter) made their hearts grow fonder. She said recently during filming of 30 Rock, when she was kissing Alec Baldwin's charcater, she imagined kissing Francois (Pinault).

The bride is 42 and the groom is 46.

Congrats! Salma gives hope for all the "older" ladies out there waiting for the right guy to marry....because she sure got it right.

Chris Brown Breaks His Silence

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person.

"While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else.


"Those posts or writings under my name are frauds," the statement ends.

Tatiana Del Toro Thinks She's a Star, Has a Lot To Complain About Now

For instance:

"... in response to all the judgment as in…I am a drama queen, crazy, fake. Honestly, I don’t think anyone can imagine the kind of hurt people were trying to inflict on me during the taping of hollywood week and how long it went on and how intesne and relentless it was...


Seriously that was ten minutes of DAYS HOURS OF PEOPLE HUMILIATING ME AND STABBING ME. Alot of people were ganging up on me…calling me hurtful sick names, speaking ill of me, and overall attempting to ruin my career that I have been working on for 24 years since I have been born...


It has been a painful and devastating process getting to where I am, and the thought that all that I have worked for could be blown and I could get cut and be the laughing stock of national television because of some people I just met, insulting me, blaming me for their own lack of talent and drive, sitting around moping and complaining and pointing fingers and wasting time, drove me to my melting point after HOURS/DAYS of trying to pull everything together with a smile on my face…


These people called me “Satan” yelled at me and blamed me for things that never happened ALL ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. It was humiliating."


How many weeks till the part-time lingerie model gets voted off? I say 3.

Adnan Ghalib Got Served With Britney's Restraining Order And Then Ran Over That Person With a Car

...and that would be assault with a deadly weapon, for reals.

Is the water in LA funkier than usual this week? Everyone is NUTS this week!

Chris Brown Speaking Out Through Facebook?

Big Love Scoop!

Coutesy of Michael Ausiellio of Entertainment Weekly:


Question: Since I'm being good and not throwing a fit about Ask Ausiello moving to Thursdays, can you give up some Big Love scoop? -- Linda
Ausiello: I'm hereby ordering all Emmy voters to watch the Feb. 22 episode. It finds the entire Henrickson clan embarking on a 2,500 mile road trip and it easily ranks as the finest hour of television all season. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to throw a parade in honor of Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloe Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin. But more importantly, stuff happens. Ben-and-Margene stuff. Sarah-pregnancy stuff. Nicki-birth-control stuff. Big stuff. Speaking of which, I'm surprised you guys aren't hounding me about the big death coming up. What's up with that?

Joanna Pacitti (aka The Ringer) Has Been Kicked Out of the Idol 36!

Fox has released this statement:

“It has been determined that Joanna Pacitti is ineligible to continue in the competition."


Whyyyyyyy? More details to come!!

(Fox has announced Felcia Bartin to taker her place (aka, the mom with a cute brunette blunt cut)

Octo-Mom is Nuts in the Head!!!

Bar Rafaeli

Hello. Do you know who this woman is?




That's Bar Rafaeli. She's the newest Sports Illustarted Cover model, and she's also Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend.

You know, he may not win may awards, but I think most guys think Leo wins in real life.

Updates: Chris Brown Case

ALLEGEDLY...

- He told Rihanna while wringing her neck "I'm going to kill you"
- He is not hiding in Las Vegas, but Virginia
- It was Rihanna and not a neighbor who called the cops
- Rihanna is cooperating with the police on this case

The "Chief" Says Izzie and George are Leaving Seattle Grace

According to James Pickens Jr. (aka Dr. Webber) Katherine Heigl and TR Knight are leaving Grey's Anatomy.

"Yes, she is," Pickens told Us Weekly when he was asked if Heigl is leaving the hospital drama. "Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best."

"He's going too," Pickens added. "He just wanted to pursue other career paths."

This is not the first time we've heard such rumors--but there's something to a reputable cast member confirming it.

Crazy Octuplet Mom Is On Welfare

Nadya Suleman, Crazy Octuplet Mom, lied on national television. For shame.

Previously it was reported that she was not on welfare--well, 3 of her 6 kids are disabled so she is getting $490 in food stamps a month.

Let us keep in mind that she is currently not employed, and hasn't been for some time, because she has is in school getting her masters in counseling.

Also, please pay attention to the lack of un-swelled lips in this past picture of her. Now do you think she really and truly is crazily aspiring to be Ms. Jolie from the children right down to the massive lips?

More Details on Rihanna and Chris Brown Abuse Scandal

- Allegedly, she did not call the police, but someone from the ritzy area of LA where the incident occurred called when they heard screaming from the scene
- There are 2 "huge contusions" on both sides of her forehead, a bloody lip, and bloody nose--and supposedly, bite marks. The bumbs on her head look like "devil's horns"
- When the police came, Chris Brown had fled the scene and Rihanna refuse treatmant initially but then went to the hospital later on Sunday
- Allegedly, Chris Brown has taken a private plane to Las Vegas, and Rihanna's family is trying to take her back home to Barbados
- Rihanna has cancelled her concert in Malaysia, and Chris has cancelled his performance at the NBA All-Star Game


Young man, at 19, your career is over. Unless that Michael Jackson lawyer you hired, Mark Geragos, can spin this story for you like no other.

I know what it's like to be that age and be nuts in the head when you're angry, but if injuries are as bad they claim, he will have a tough time justifying that amount of rage.

Shorties

Hayden is allegedly cheating on her Heroes boyfriend Milo with Jesse McCartney, Mariah Carey's Nick Cannon will be hosting America's Got Talent, and Usher's wife Tameka Foster is in "stable" condition.

Kate and Owen: Back 2Gether Again

...so I hear from People magazine.

They apparently spent the day at Wilson's Malibu home where Kate's son joined them.

Keeping Up With The Henricksons

Last night with our favotite group of polygymous Mormons...

Fouth Wife. The lame fourth wife situation is still existing--lame because I detest Ana's Serbian accent (I KNOW me some Eastern Europeans; the accent isn't as cartoonish as that) and lame because she is useless to the family! She would bring nothing positive or remotely interesting (except for more sex for Bill). I'm pretty sure she knows how useless she is too.


Sarah's Pregnancy. What will she do now? Benny wants her to give the baby to her Mom and Dad, but she wants another non-polygymous family to adopt it. Well the problem with the family they visited last night is the potential Dad is gay and has been trying to be "cured" by the Church. Sarah isn't having that, but her lesbian-vibed friend Heather finds some comfort in the potential cure.




The Crazy Compound Ladies. Lois almost murdered Frank, but didn't, so now she's on the lam from the compound, hiding out at the Henricksons. And we are watching Wanda deteriorate more and more into her pale-faced madness while her beloved Joey continues to find more affinity with his second wife. Adaleen's craziness next...

Roman's Trial. In the case against Roman Grant and whether he has been trafficing underage age girls to marriage--will Rhonda testify or won't she? Well, she doesn't. Adaleen found a way to Rhonda's heart (hint: it's green and papery and you can pack it in a sack), and she ends up not "betraying" the Prophet. Joey's second wife was set to testify...but her twin sister ended up lying on the stand saying they were 19 and not 16 when they married their deceased husband. Why? Adaleen seemed to have put the Marquart sister's son in danger if she didn't protect Roman.


What about Nikki in this? Nikki ended up protecting dear old Papa as she usually does, much to Bill's chagrin, but wait...she protected him...but she is also royally pissed at him! Actually, I think her emotions go far deeper than "pissed." As Roman passes her by by the staircase he says something to the effect of: "I could not do this without your help my Dear Daughter." We all think she will be delighted in hearing this, but in a shocking moment, she pushes him down the stairs! He is baffled, and all Nikki can do is give him a look of "You know what you did to me." Yes Nikki, he did force you into underage marriage too--but you protected him. Oh the complexities of parental love!

WTF?! What did Chris Brown Do to Rihanna?

They were scheduled to appear at the Grammys, but instead, Chris Brown was arrested late last night for an alleged domestic abuse case againt his girlfriend, Rihanna. The cops have refused to give the victim's name, but Rihanna's face is reportedly looking a little bruised. Chris was let go after a $50K bail.

How they gonna spin this?? Are they gonna stay together??

Usher Reportedly in South America After Wife Has Plastic Surgery Scare

He was supposed to perform at a pre-Grammys Clive Davis bash, but he allegedly has gone to South America to be with his wife after a plastic surgery malfuntion.

I really hope this won't be a Donda West situation. And with that risk in mind, is body-altering surgery that is not life-saving ever really worth it?

Just Pointing Out the Obvious: How Much Do You Think the Octuplet Mom Wants to be Angie Jolie?

Emily Blunt!

The talented Emily Blunt on the cover of Harper's Bazzar...

The beauty, who is currently dating John Krasinski (aka Jim from The Office), regrets talking so much publically about her ex-love Michael Buble:

"I feel that we did a lot of talking about our relationship, and I don't think we benefited."

"You lay yourself quite bare when the relationship ends."

I dig it when celebs develop a sense of self-awareness of how they use or misuse the media. PS: I think she and "Jim" are really cute together. Cuter than Pam and Jim.

Octuplet Mom!!

See it here.

AI Contestant Joanna Pacitti Sketchiness Aura Increases

So we haven't heard/seen much of Joanna Pacitti on AI these days. But she is rumored to be part of the top 36 on American Idol, and as you probably know, has been under fire for previously having a record contract, a starring role on Broadway, etc etc.

Now the sketchiness levels have increased! In her 2006 album, she had thanked Michelle Young and Roger Widynowski--and guess what? They are now executives for 19 Entertainment, the company that created American Idol!

Is this too much nepotism for you?

Fake Divorce For Speidi

The fakest couple in all of Reality TV is allegedly planning another fake plot on The Hills. Know how they got fake-married? Well now they're getting fake-divorced.

"Spencer is masterminding the whole thing right now," says a source.

"He'll make sure people see him going in and out of a lawyer's office. Then he'll stage fake fights with [Heidi Montag] for The Hills cameras and talk on the show about how getting married too young wa a mistake and pretend he's conflicted."

"Spencer will push this as far as he can, but it will be 100 percent fake. He loves Heidi and will never let her go," says the source. "They're just always looking for a way to out-drama Lauren Conrad. It's their No. 1 goal in life!"

Yep, I believe it!

Etta James Lays the Smackdown on the Prez and Beyonce!

She had this to say regarding Obama picking Beyonce to sick at the Inaguaration Ball to one of Etta James' songs:

"You know, YOUR President, the one with the big ears-he ain’t my President–had that woman singing for him at his Inauguration. She’s going to get her ass whooped. How dare Beyonce sing MY song that I been singing forever. Now I’m going to sing it for y’all….”

Sam Lutfi Suing Britney

...for a bunch of stuff, according to TMZ, including

Jamie and Lynn "launched a campaign of lies and intimidation designed to destroy Lutfi and drive him out of Britney's life."

Claims of libel and defamation spring from Lynne's book, "Through the Storm." Lutfi says since the publication of the book, he "has been subjected to unfathomable amounts of ridicule and public scorn."


"Lutfi also claims Britney broke a contract with him and owes him unpaid management fees. He claims he had an oral agreement with Spears to be her manager for four years, earning 15% commission."

Spotted! Gossip Girl's Nate and Blair Back Together!

It's official. Nate and Blair are getting back together.





Here's why:

According to one insider, "Blair and Nate are both at a crossroads. Blair has to accept she isn't going to Yale. Nate is being sucked into his family's expectations, and they are both there for each other and enjoy the familiarity. At first it's platonic, but, of course, that doesn't last long."

We know it won't last long (because Blair being with Nate and not Chuck is akin to Scarlett being with Ashley and not Rhett), but siiiiigh. You know, actually, the Nate and Blair coupling might be OK for now because I DO want to see Chuck go all crazy with jealousy and perhaps return to his Christian-Bale-as-Batman voice while self-inflicting pain until, finally, finally, he allows Blair to rescue him.

And then I don't know what.

Spotted! Chuck and Vanessa Kissing

Ed Westwick (Chuck of Gossip Girl) and Vanessa (Jessica Sczhor) are seen here in locked lips.

Sigh. I know when I'm obsessed with a made-up couple when I want them to date in real life. Blair/Leighton? How about some Ed in real life?




Looking good, B and Bass!

Mayer's "Twitts"

So John Mayer has been "Twittering" (just like every other celeb out there, it's the in thing right now, get on it), and being all tongue in cheek as he is, has been alluding to media hot topics that have surrounded him in a cloud of assumption such as, "Visiting the Diamond Exchange in Tustin" and Welding an engagement ring for my girlfriend." Obviously, he's joking. And I think he is actually being pretty funny mocking the riduculousness of these rumors. Didn't they just get back togther? Why is everyone trying to force Jen to get married? So celebs, go set the record straight, and go on Twittering with yo' bad selves!

Didja Know...

that Mark-Paul Gosselar (Zack Moris) is part Indonesian on his Mom's side? Wow, Wikipedia!

Celebrity Rundown 2-2-09

Michael Phelps was pictured smoking out of a bong and apoligized for it (can't lose those endorsement dollars), MORE celebs are finding a way to give themselves press to talk about the Jessica Simpson incident (Jenny McCarthy is the latest to "weigh" in), Lisa Loeb got married, and Superbowl ratings were down this year from the last.

Latest Celebrity Trend: Twitter

Everyone is on it. Britney updates her comings and goings to fans through it, Ashton announced his hatred for neighbors constructioning next to his house in the morning on it, and Erykah Badu announced the birth of her son this morning on Twitter. So, do you have a Twitter?

Britney Finally Gets a Restraining Order(s)

...against Sam Lufti (the evil dude who was forcing her to take some crazy pills) and Adnan Ghalib (the chin pubed dude who I guess she dated). Jaime Spears (Daddy Conservator) feels they are trying to disrupt the conservatorship and Britney's health and well-being.

Doesn't Madonna Always Get What She Wants?

The court has decided that Madonna will have full custody of her sons, Rocco and David, and the permission for them to live with her and their sister Lourdes in New York. Guy Ritchie is apparently quite sad but feels the boys will always be "Englishmen at heart."
