The 81st Annual Academy Awards were last night. I sort of watched it, but it started earlier than I thought and I was working most of time so I’m sure I missed a bunch. I did, however, catch the camera cutting to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie while Jennifer Aniston …
Adorable couple Nicole Richie, 27, and Joel Madden, 29, are giving their adorable baby Harlow, 1, an adorable little brother or sister. How adorable. Joel Madden announced the news on the Good Charlotte website. What’s better than winning an Oscar? I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is …
There have been a lot of celebrities having twins lately, but did you know that a bunch of celebrities are twins themselves? Did you know that Kiefer Sutherland has a twin sister named Rachel? Or that Alanis Morissette has a twin brother who also shares her love of music?…
On this day in 1988….. Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart looked into a camera and sobbed as he confessed his sins to his congregation. But his downfall began about two years before that; he just didn’t know it. It’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black and karma then kicking …
Yesterday TMZ posted a photo of Rihanna taken the night Chris Brown assaulted her. I would say ‘allegedly,’ but come on! Yeah, Chris Brown is innocent until proven guilty, blah, blah, blah – but a picture speaks a thousand words. Image Source Today – which happens to be Rihanna’s 21st …

The Richie Rich Fall/Winter 2009 Collection fashion show was Wednesday night, and all I have to say is…..Pamela Anderson is friggin’ nasty! Like tore-back whore nasty. Seriously! What the hell is her problem? Is there no one around her with enough balls to tell her how horrible she looks?…
On this day in 1985….. The Coca-Cola Company introduced to the world a new flavored Coke known as Coca-Cola Cherry. Although Coca-Cola Cherry was introduced to test audiences at the World’s Fair in 1982, the cherry flavored soda didn’t hit the shelves until 1985.…
Whaaa??? An infant boy married his neighbor’s dog in front of about 150 tribes people in an effort to prevent the child from being killed by wild animals. Yes, that’s what I said. The ritual was performed in hamlet in the state of Orissa’s Jajpur district after the boy, who …
So it’s been a little over a week since Chris Brown allegedly beat the crap out of his girlfriend Rihanna. A few days ago Chris released a statement, which in my opinion, was a really lame apology – if you can even consider it an apology.…
Joaquin Phoenix appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last night. And by appeared I mean Joaquin Phoenix sat there being weird while Dave tried to get the actor to actually answer a question. Phoenix was at the Ed Sullivan Theater to promote his new movie “Two Lovers” but …

So…..much to my disgust Elisabeth Hasselbeck is still on The View and, of course, she’s still whining. A few months back Elisabeth Hasselbeck was whining about not being able to “win” any of the discussions about the election. This time she’s comparing hunting wolves to aborting babies.…

Rumor has it that Paul Walker of 2 Fast 2 Furious fame got engaged to his girlfriend of three years, Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell over the holidays. Seems normal enough, right? Yeah well Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell is 19-years-old, meaning she was just 16 when she and Paul Walker, 35, started dating.…

It started with Bruce Springsteen telling us to step away from the guacamole and chips and to put down the chicken wings. Something I thought was quite fitting given the fact that Americans like to eat – a lot. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off the Super …
I’ve known for awhile that my taste in humor is a little off the norm. But it wasn’t until today that I started thinking my humor is a little too off. Not that I care, of course; I crack myself up and that’s all that really matters.…
And the winner of Super Bowl XLIII is….. the Pittsburgh Steelers, beating the Arizona Cardinals 27 to 23. The game was actually pretty exciting. With 9:45 remaining in the first quarter, Pittsburgh made it to the scoreboard first with a field goal.…

The Super Bowl is tomorrow and I’m actually kinda excited. I’m hoping to watch the commercials – uh, I mean game – on my boyfriend’s gigantic TV, but I think he’s mad at me so it may not happen. But no matter where I am I’ll tune into Super Bowl …
Lawyers for Britney Spears were in L.A. Superior Court on Friday, asking for a restraining order against Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib, and accusing them of trying to gain control of Britney’s affairs. Jon Eardley, Lutfi’s lawyer back when the slime ball was fighting Jamie Spears over Britney’s conservatorship, was …
So the Super Bowl kickoff time is at 3:20pm tomorrow (or somewhere there abouts) over here in California, but NBC’s coverage begins at 9:00am Pacific time. That’s a whole lot of pre-game coverage. And you know there will be men across the West who can’t get up early for church …
Super Bowl XLIII is this Sunday February 1st. Can’t you just feel the excitement? The parties, the commercials, the half-time show, the thrill of the game – it’s like a holiday that belongs only to America. This year the Super Bowl battle is between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona …
The Super Bowl is this Sunday and you know what that means. Commercials! By now I’m sure you’ve heard about the banned PETA commercial. Personally, I see nothing wrong with it, but I’m a little weird so whatever. I think it’s cheesy, but I don’t think it’s any more sexually …
So the cover of this week’s People magazine is a picture of Caylee Anthony with the headlines “Caylee’s Family Secrets,” “Her Grandfather’s Bizarre Suicide Drama,” “Years of Family Feuds,” and “What the Police Know.” Meanwhile, over in Jacksonville, Florida a guy named Jaime Salcedo created “The Inspirational Caylee Sunshine Doll”; …
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz took to the internet today to shoot back at those who looked at a recent picture of her sister Jessica Simpson and pointed out the obvious – Jessica Simpson has got some extra padding; and it’s not her boyfriend Tony Romo’s football gear.…
I got an email the other day which has been circulating since the end of 2007. I’m sure you’ve gotten it at some point – it’s about a seagull that likes to steal chips. I’m sharing it with you tonight because it’s a great example of how stories can change …

Comedian Andy Dick, one of Hollywood’s craziest celebrities, opens up on Friday’s Tyra Banks show, at one point sharing that not only is he bi-sexual, he’s try-sexual – as in he’ll try anything; except animals. I guess even Andy Dick has his standards.…
The Oscar Nominations are in, and yes Heath Ledger – who died one year ago today indecently – is on the list. You’re probably going to think I’m a @@@@@ for saying this, but I honestly don’t think Heath Ledger would have been nominated for an Oscar if he hadn’t …
Did you get goose bumps this morning as the 44th President of the United States was sworn in? I did. Today is the first day of a better America; out with the old and horrible, in with the new and promising.…
