Back ... In Control
Janet Jackson is back and in control. She took to a chilly stage Friday morning on the Today show in New York City. Rapper Nelly joned her, singing Call On Me, a single from Janet Jackson's newest album, 20 Y.O.

It's a Small (and Sick?) World
One word describes this gossip tidbit: creepy. E! Online reveals that Nick Carter lost his virginity at age 14. Don't doubt me, that's not the creepy part! Ready? He lost his virginity to "then 15-year-old and now infamous Florida school teacher Debra Beasley LaFave. The 25-year-old teacher was arrested in 2004 for sleeping with one of her eighth grade students." Apparently, Carter chose to share this news with Howard Stern (the radio one, not the Anna Nicole Smith baby daddy one). Ewwwwwwww.
Is There Something You'd Like to Tell Us, Janet?
Looky here! That sure does look like an engagement ring to me. And a good one, too. According to People, Janet was sporting the ring at the album release party for her new album: 20 Y.O. When asked whether she is engaged, Janet said: "That’s what they’re saying!"
Didn't See This One Coming...
Sure, she's pretty. And yeah, she's got some acting chops, but sexiest woman alive? I'll have to get back to you on that. Was Angelina busy with Baby Shiloh? J-Lo tied up? Esquire magazine has named Scarlett Johannson their Sexiest Woman Alive.
They played a bit of a guessing game with the public, revealing strategic shots where her face was covered, in an attempt to build up the anticipation. Eh. Unfortunately for them, they were scooped by Yahoo. Might as well come clean now, boys.

Too Much Tylenol PM, Beyonce?
I wonder why Beyonce looks so sleepy in these pictures? Too much work, not enough rest? Lets see, where was she coming from? Hmmmm. A nightclub called in London called Movida. Right. Maybe too much dancing? What? You think she might be drunk? Nooooo, Beyonce doesn't drink! She's a sweet, innocent Jay-Z lovin' girl! No drinking! I won't believe it!
Uh Oh for Eva
People magazine reports that it looks like rough seas for Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria and her longtime boyfriend, Tony Parker. Some reports indicate that the couple of nearly 2 years have already broken up, but all her rep will confirm right now is that "they are going through a very difficult time right now." Seems like the writing is on the wall, but stay tuned as the story unfolds.

My name's Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.
According to Forbes, Americans trust Forrest Gump. Okay fine, they trust Tom Hanks. He has won two Oscars and pretended that a volleyball was his friend (Wilson!!!!), so it makes sense. He was also number 31 on the last list that Forbes used to get publicity, the Forbes Celebrity 100 list of the most powerful celebrities.
The Forbes Top Ten Most Trustworthy celebrites are:
1. Tom Hanks
2. Rachael Ray
3. Michael J. Fox
4. Oprah Winfrey
5. James Earl Jones
6. Denzel Washington
7. Ty Pennington
8. Ron Howard
9. Morgan Freeman
10. Reese Witherspoon
How pissed is Oprah Winfrey that her protege beat her on this list? Cat fight! And how in the hell did Ty Pennington make this list? I'm just sayin'....

She has a mother?
I think this possibly might be the first time I've ever heard of Anna Nicole's mother, but Entertainment Tonight found her and flew their correspondent, Kevin Frazier, to Houston to see what she has to say. Let's give a quick synopsis ... she doesn't think Howard K. Stern is the baby's father, but isn't sure. She believes Larry Birkhead more and suggests a paternity test. She has been estranged from Anna since she became famous, although Anna did call her when Daniel died. And lastly, she says she took care of Daniel until he was six years old, so Anna could look for work. To all the single mothers out there who manage to raise their kids AND look for work - kudos to you. As for Anna Nicole Smith, who knows when the real story will come out. Until then, we watch and wait.

Movin' Out
The New York Daily News reports that Piano Man Billy Joel has put his Long Island manse on the market for a whopping $37.5 million; considering he spent $22 mil on it a mere four years ago, you gotta wonder what he's drinkin'. Interested in snapping it up? It only has five bedrooms, but you'll get an indoor pool, your very own bowling alley and a lovely view of the water. It's also where he married his wife, Katie Lee, two years ago. No word on why he's selling it, and in the current real estate market, it's going to be an uphill battle.

Say it Ain't So, Tony
First, he hit a tree while skiing. Then his mini-stock car got flipped by Rusty Wallace during a segment on his talk show called the "DayTony 500." As if that weren't enough, he lost his daytime talk show to the juggernaut that is Rachael Ray. It just doesn't seem right that now Tony Danza has announced that he and his wife of 20 years are separating.
In happier Tony Danza news, he became a proud grandfather last year and he will perform at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City next month. Okay, well, the first one was happier news.

Shocking Development: Star Magazine Had the Facts Wrong
In a shocking development (I mean, I am sure this has never happened before, EVER), Star Magazine may have been wrong in its story that Anna Nicole Smith married her lawyer/baby daddy Howard K. Stern. For some reason, the TrimSpa guy has become Anna's spokesperson (maybe part of her contract so he can get the company name into the press?) and he told another tabloid magazine, In Touch, that they did not get married. Instead, they participated in a commitment ceremony.
Do you think he give her a promise ring? Maybe his fraternity pin or his letterman jacket? I guess if it brought some happiness into a tough time, it was a great idea, but I don't really get it. Here's what E! Online has to say:

UNOFFICIALLY TOGETHER: TrimSpa CEO Alex Goen telling In Touch magazine that Anna Nicole Smith and lawyer Howard K. Stern participated in a commitment ceremony Thursday aboard a boat in the Bahamas but did not get married. They haven't applied for a marriage license yet but, according to Goen, "they do plan to have a proper ceremony in the future."

Jeff is singing the blues...
Boy-bander, Jeff Timmons, from 98 Degrees, as reported by People magazine, was was sentenced yesterday to a year of probation on charges of driving recklessly and refusing to sign a citation back in April. He also is required to undergo treatment for alcohol abuse and serve 50 hours of community service. Considering his original charge was a DUI, sounds like he got off with a song.

Anna Nicole Smith Marries Baby's Daddy?
In what they claim is a WORLD EXCLUSIVE, Star Magazine is reporting that Anna Nicole Smith and her lawyer/baby daddy Howard K. Stern got married in the Bahamas this morning. This could be either a really happy or a really sad story depending on how you decide to look at it. Let's hope it's happy.
Glitter and Gossip will keep you updated the developing details of this rumor! Here are the "facts" according to Star. I was almost buying it until I got to the pink bikini part. Just doesn't strike me as the real deal. You be the judge:

Glitter and Gossip will keep you updated the developing details of this rumor! Here are the "facts" according to Star. I was almost buying it until I got to the pink bikini part. Just doesn't strike me as the real deal. You be the judge:
In a world-exclusive report, an eyewitness tells Star that Anna, 38, and Howard, 37, tied the knot shortly before 10:30 am on the morning of September 28, while sailing on a white catamaran off of Nassau! "There was heavy security around the yacht, plus extra speedboats to deliver more supplies as needed (including unlimited Dom Perignon champagne) from the mainland to the catamaran," says the eyewitness, who adds that the wedding party celebrated the union afterwards by having a swim party around the yacht — "and Anna was wearing a pink bikini!"
Two days before, on September 26, Stern appeared live on the Larry King Show via satellite from the Bahamas, to announce that he was the father of Anna's newborn daughter Danilynne Hope, that he and Anna "love each other" — and that the duo would get married "at some point."
Apparently, that point arrived much sooner than later. A source adds: "Stern was making all the arrangements in the days before the wedding." This is apparently Stern's first marriage, but the third for Smith. She was a teen bride with Billy Wayne Smith (Daniel's father) in Texas in 1985; they divorced two years later. Smith then married 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall in June 1994. He died in 1990, and Anna — who recently became a legal resident of the Bahamas — is still battling in court for her share of his estate.

Decisions, Decisions
Harry Potter fans will be reeling at this news ... the folks at Newsweek report that one of the stars from the popular series might not be back for more.
Emma Watson (who portrays Hermione Granger) hasn't signed on the dotted line yet, although the two boys (Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint) are poised to continue. "I don't know ... Every film is such a huge production, and it's a long time." It would keep her locked up until she turns 20, four more years ... but surely having financial security at her young age is worth a few more years of playing Hermione. We'll soon see.

Funny Money
Charlie Sheen is poised to become the highest paid sitcom star, reports CNN, as he is coming out of two-month-long negotiations that will earn him $350,000 an EPISODE for his work on CBS' Two and a Half Men.
Of course, no one has come close to Ray Romano's astronomical $2 million/episode deal for his show popular, now retired show, Everyone Loves Raymond, but I'd say Charlie is doing A-OK.

From the "Why Are They Still Famous?" Newsdesk
Sadly, I have to admit that I am huge fan of ABC's The Bachelor. After putting in so many hours watching it, from its very first episode in 2002 until last season's debacle in Paris, I just feel obligated to keep watching. Many people have seen the light and stopped watching the show years ago. So, I couldn't help but share this little piece of gossip reported by E! Online reporter Korbi Ghosh. It was revealed during Kristin Veitch's weekly chat:
There's no news from either Charlie or Sarah on this piece of gossip. Although, I think most people break up at least once during a relationship, so maybe there's hope that they will make it. See how the show has brainwashed me? I am looking forward to the next season, too! Darn it, there I go again.
From grace: Anything on the new Bachelor?
Korbi Ghosh: Gotta step in here for K.V., 'cause K.G. has some craziness to share! On Friday, I stopped at Urth Caffé to have lunch...and whom did I find myself sitting next to but Charlie O'Connell and Sarah Brice, the girl he picked on The Bachelor? What are the chances?! And what did I overhear?! They were freakin' breaking up! I couldn't believe my ears. Basically, it sounded like Sarah is ready to start planning a wedding, but Charlie isn't. In fact, I heard him say he isn't ready to even think about getting married. He was very sweet and kept apologizing to her. They were very quiet and seemed sad. Looks like the end is near for yet another Bachelor duo...

Spoiler Alert - Dancing with the Stars
In a surprise turn last night, Harry Hamlin is hanging up his Dancing with the Star shoes, as he was eliminated. While it is surprising that perhaps it happened so early on in the competition, I feel confident in saying he wasn't going to be taking home the treasured disco trophy.

Harry Speaks!
"We were on a break!" The infamous words of Ross Geller just never get old, do they? Well, sounds like Harry Morton watched that episode of Friends, because according to People, he told Extra the following about his relationship with Lindsay Lohan:
If only Ross Geller could have told major news outlets that he and Rachel were on a break, and thereby create solid proof, he and Rachel might have avoided some fights. Can't say you didn't know, Lindsay! People also reports that Lohan was heard fighting with Morton on her cell phone on September 21, but was seen with him two nights later at L.A.'s Hyde Lounge. Although, they left the club separately.
PS - do you think they shared the same bottle of self-tanner before the picture above was taken?
"We're just sort of taking a little breather right now and slowing things down."
"A lot of people started saying we're engaged. It put a lot of pressure on things. … We need a little space."

Hey Mr. DJ....
Why do female celebrities dig the DJs? Is it their quasi-celebrity status, which means the DJ will never outshine the starlet? Or is it just that DJs are inherently cool, with the one-half of the headset on, head-bopping thing? Who knows.
Setting that burning question aside, you should know that US Weekly reports that Jaime Pressly of My Name is Earl fame is engaged to her boyfriend DJ Eric Cubiche. I would tell you where her ring is from, but you wouldn't recognize the name and I don't want to play their free advertising game. Suffice it to say, it's not Neil Lane or Fred Leighton. 'Nuff said.
Pressly, 29, and Cubiche have been best friends for nine years, but only dating for one. Could this have been one of those drunken "If we are both single by the time we're 30, let's get married" deals? In other relationship-dooming news, Pressley told US: "We've been together so long we just aren't in a rush to marry." Right.

Offering More Than Just Lawyerly Advice
Anna Nicole Smith's new baby finally has a confirmed father. Although photographer Larry Birkhead has said for the past few months that he is the father, Anna Nicole's longtime attorney, Howard K. Stern, admitted yesterday on Larry King that he is, in fact, the father. Given his behavior on her E! reality show a few years ago, I'm not sure if this is good news or not.
