BRITNEY SPEARS
Her new love is her former assistant!
Britney’s quick tryst with Matt Encinias made headlines, but the music-video extra wasn’t the real target of Brit’s affection that night. OK! has learned that Britney spent the evening topless, nuzzling up to her former assistant Shannon Funk! “Instead of hooking up with him, [Shannon] ended up back in Brit’s room and bed,” a source tells OK!. Britney has been experimenting with girls since her teen years. She even put the moves on porn queen Jenna Jameson. “Jenna told me that Britney hit on her and that she hooks up with girls,” says adult-movie actress Tera Patrick. OK! also takes a look to see if there’s more than meets the eye to the ever-changing color of Britney’s peepers.

ANGELINA JOLIE
She leans on Brad during her troubled times
Angelina Jolie is leaning on her partner, Brad Pitt, to get through the difficult times of her life. Since the death of her mother in January and with a grueling film schedule, Angelina has suffered dramatic weight loss. But watching Brad be a perfect father to their four children has helped her through the rough patches. “Brad loves playing Mr. Mom,” says a source close to the family. “He is so protective of Angie and the kids.” Being a great dad seems to be the ultimate turn-on for Angie, who spent a romantic dinner date with Brad at Chicago’s trendy Japonais restaurant on Aug. 11.

Andy Baldwin is a Bachelor Again

2007-08-16T11:40:00.000-04:00

Totally bummed about this one. While I'd like to think there was still hope, methinks the writing is on the wall and this is the beginning of the end. Just as the newest season of The Bachelor is set to premiere, comes news that Andy Baldwin and Tessa Horst have called off their engagement.

"We are very much in love and committed to our relationship," the couple say in a statement to People magazine. "With the possibility of reassignment to a new location, we decided it was not the ideal time for Tessa to uproot herself and move out [to Hawaii] right now. Our relationship continues to deepen, and we're very hopeful about our future together." Andy went on to say, "I know that I have a year left and I may have the option of a three-year tour. There is also the option of a position in California. There is also a chance of me going back to finish my residency training. I am a firm believer that everything happened for a reason, and I am a firm believer that this happened in my life for a reason. Tessa came onto the show for a reason, and it is like a dream come true."

Something's fishy in Denmark.

Although troubled pop star Britney Spears graces the cover of the September issue of Allure magazine, don't go looking for an interview inside the mag, because won't find it. Although she appeared for the cover shoot and was on time and very cooperative, she missed no less than four appointments for the interview that was supposed to run in the issue. The magazine instead ran a first-person essay from the interviewer on her chase to pin down Britney for a chat-fest.

"After much consideration, we have decided not to get married," the couple said in a joint statement to People magazine. "We are still very close, and we look forward to continuing to work together on House."

Jesse proposed to Jennifer during a trip to Paris over the holidays, and they had planned to get married later this year.

I guess if there has to be a silver lining, at least they figured it out before they walked down the aisle, but 'tis still a shame.

ANGELINA JOLIE
Forget the splitsville rumors! She and Brad are happier than ever!
The breakup rumors haunting Angelina and Brad are just plain faux, OK! reveals. The power couple recently spent some quality time together at France’s Chateau Val Joanis winery, rekindling their love. Brad and Angie have even decided to purchase an estate in France and make it their primary residence. “They’ve looked at several properties already and are optimistic they’ll soon find the perfect place,” a source tells OK!. Angie may be drawn to France because it was the native country of her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand. As for Brad, who wants to see their children have the continuity of living in one place, a home in France may be the perfect compromise.

BRITNEY SPEARS
Why she may lose her sons to her ex
Only two days after her divorce was final, Britney Spears was back on the party scene. So it’s no wonder that her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, is heading to court to seek full custody of their sons, Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James, 11 months. Kevin has made a 180 turnaround, from deadbeat dad to a sincere hands-on father. Kevin has reeled back his own partying ways and prefers to spend his shared custody time out of the spotlight, doting on his boys. Although Kevin still cares for Britney, he believes Britney’s increasingly bizarre behavior is putting his children’s welfare at stake, and he’s willing endure a bitter and drawn-out custody battle to make sure they are safe.

LINDSAY LOHAN

In January 2006, photos revealed a Lohan family friend toting a plastic bag containing a visible pregnancy test into a Miami hospital where Lindsay was being treated (though the Lohans denied that the kit was specifically for her).

Sure to make all the teen set swoon, High School Musical (and soon to be Footloose remake) star Zac Efron has landed on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

A few excerpts from his interview with the mag:

"A lot of problems you see people having in this business is that is becomes about their personal lives and not about their work. Matthew McConaughey has singlehandedly funded the tabloid magazines for the past two years now. If he would put on a shirt and just get away from the beach, maybe there would be a few less paparazzi around."

"I'm the same age as some other people who are dealing with scandals. I've got friends out here, and we do what kids our age are doing. We don't need people taking photos of us."

"The weird thing that no one expected about Vanessa (Hudgens, his on and off-screen girlfriend) is that underneath such a sweet girl ... is a very sexy woman."

Cover Girl: Lindsay Lohan on Elle Magazine

2007-08-07T07:47:00.000-04:00

Even though she's currently out of the public eye (and that's definitely a good thing) to recover from her latest run-in with alcohol and the law, actress and party girl Lindsay Lohan landed on the September cover of Elle magazine, looking gorgeous.

The magazine hits newsstands today, but is marred by a recent report from the New York Post that she took designer clothes from the set and has been ignoring calls asking her to return the wares.

Highlights of the interview are below.

On attending rehab at Wonderland before her 21st birthday: “I was growing up and going out a lot, and I needed to have a balance. I was glad I went, because I needed to get away from everyone and I didn’t know how to do that. And I learned a lot there. A bunch of my friends – I was with them last night – they’re in AA for, like, years.”

On former fling Calum Best: “I like him. He’s me in male form. We’re very similar. Stubborn, rebellious, very smart, coy, a little bit narcissistic – I think all actors have a little bit of that, and so they should. We’ll be kidding around, like the other day when we were in the Bahamas … I was walking by some mirror. And he caught me looking in the mirror and he goes, ‘I caught that!’ I was like, ‘Damn, I look good!’

On the media firestorm surrounding her: “I feel like the asshole, the idiot, because I feel like I’m distracting from the other things that are important, like global warming and that kind of stuff. I genuinely mean that. And I don’t know what to do.”

On avoiding fame: “I hate it, like, when these people say, ‘Well, why do you go to the Ivy if you don’t want …’ Seriously, I like their food! I can’t go to a restaurant? I know I’m going to get pictures taken. I’m fine with it. And I’m going to go have their food. People give you shit for it: ‘Don’t go on Robertson!’ What, I can’t drive down the street?”

On being photographed without underwear:“It was once, and it was when I was in Venice. And I was rushing through the room, threw the Prada dress on. And that’s what happened. And I didn’t even see the picture. I don’t look at that shit – that’s gross. If I wear a dress I have underwear on.”

On sleep troubles:“I have really bad insomnia. My whole life. I get nervous at night going to bed, and being awake alone really freaks me out.”

On her career aspirations: “I just want to be nominated for an award for all the work I’ve done. It’s so funny – people forget that I played two characters in Parent Trap when I was twelve years old.”

On the media: “If I’m wearing a nude thong, they retouch it. I f—k around on my computer – I know how easy it is. They make my face look swollen. I’m like, ‘Are you that bored?’ I hear things about the night before that never even happened. Like, they said I was dating my best friend – the Samantha Ronson thing. She’s my best friend!"

Britney's babies: HELP US!
On July 30, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline finalized their divorce and extended their 50-50 custody agreement. But insiders say Kevin, 29, will fight for sole custody, and Brit's lawyer notes, "Both of them would prefer to have more custody, and that can be worked out down the line." But if Brit, 25, continues to violate the custody agreement, and keeps up her bizarre behavior, she could lose the children to Kevin. Will Kevin fight Britney for sole custody of the children? Is Britney determined not to let Kevin win? What kind of effect will this have on the kids? For more details, check out this week's Life & Style, on newsstands now!

Katie to Tom: Time for a makeover!
Now that Katie Holmes is a style icon, she wants Tom Cruise, 45, to follow in her lead! "She wishes he'd dress a little younger and hipper," says a pal. And to help her out, Katie, 28, has enlisted the help of her own makeover coach, Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham!

After the split ... Will Brad get Shiloh?
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are constantly bickering about everything, from movies to politics. But one thing they aren't squabbling about is what will happen to the kids should they split because Brad, 43, and Angie, 32, have already worked out a custody deal. "Brad's going to be a father to those kids no matter what happens to Angie," says an insider close to him.

The fight to SAVE LINDSAY!
Lindsay Lohan's life took yet another tragic turn on July 24 when, after an arrest for a second alleged DUI, she was put on suicide watch.

A pregnant Nicole Richie sat down with OK! the day after her sentencing to discuss her feelings about jail, marriage and motherhood. “It’s time to take responsibility and not take the easy way out,” Nicole tells OK! in response to the series of events that have taken place in her life this year. Nicole talks about her sentence — “It was fair,” she says — and reveals where she’s set to serve her time. She also touches on much happier issues: her dream wedding plans and how many children she’d like to have.

LINDSAY LOHAN
The troubled actress crumbles under mounting stress
Lindsay Lohan is reeling from her July 23 arrest for her second DUI and possession of cocaine. “She’s having a mental and physical collapse,” a close friend of the actress tells OK!. “There’s no telling what Lindsay might do. She’s alone and scared with no one to turn to.” Lindsay’s latest illegal actions, coupled with her former charges, might land the 21-year-old star a 180-day stint in jail. While she clearly shows signs of addiction, she also seems to be in denial. Says another friend of Lindsay: “Maybe this is the best thing that could happen to her. She needed to hit rock bottom before she was ever going to admit she’s a mess.” OK! also spoke with Lindsay’s father, Michael, who had some heartbreaking words about his daughter.

BRITNEY SPEARS
Her marriage to K-Fed is officially over
On July 30, Britney Spears’ divorce from Kevin Federline, to whom she was married for two years, became final — but the battle has just begun. While Brit’s attorney states that Kevin and Britney will continue to split custody 50-50 of Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James, 10 months, insiders say that Kevin is unhappy with the arrangement and intends to seek full custody of his kids. Kevin is enraged that Britney brought their children to Las Vegas without his written permission to take them out of state, which is required by California law during custody battles. And Britney’s cousin Alli Sims has joined forces with Kevin and is providing key information and personal accounts he can use against his ex-wife. A source close to Kevin tells OK!, “He’s prepared to fight this bitch for the next 18 years.”

Kameron Bink Leaves So You Think You Can Dance

2007-08-02T12:51:00.000-04:00

Last week, in addition to Jaimie, we said goodbye to Kameron Bink, Lacey Schwimmer's partner. Read on as he tells TV Guide about his time on the show, his chemistry with Lacey and who he thinks should make it to the end.

TVGuide.com: Do you think that you deserved to go home?
Kameron Bink: Honestly, everybody's worked so hard, nobody deserves to go home. But by this point, we're all in the top 10 and we're all going on tour. I'm just happy to have come this far. It's an amazing feeling of accomplishment.

TVGuide.com: How does it feel to be the first male kicked off by the viewers instead of the judges?
Kameron: I felt it coming, and I know that I had much support throughout the show, so I'm not disappointed at all.

TVGuide.com: You'd never been in the bottom group before. So how did you know it was coming?
Kameron: Just from watching the show. The judges' comments started to slowly but surely underplay my part in everything that I was doing, and I felt that eventually America was going to catch that, too.

TVGuide.com: Why do you think you weren't shown much in the earlier episodes before you got to the top 20?
Kameron: There are a lot of things that go into the production as far as stories and things like that, and there wasn't a whole lot of depth in my story. Once we all got in the top 20, our personalities were really shown and we all got the chance to shine on the stage on a national level, which is more than a lot of dancers get to say.

TVGuide.com: What did you think about having to do the compulsory Wade Robson solo?
Kameron: At first I wasn't sure how that would go with the audience, because Nigel said, even after the fourth or fifth time, he was kind of bored with it. And I can't say how that played with my being No. 8.

TVGuide.com: Which solo did you think was the best?
Kameron: I really enjoyed Sabra's performance. To be as small as she is and dance as large as she does, she really deserves all the credit she got. Lauren's performance was amazing as well.

TVGuide.com: Fans talk about your chemistry with Lacey. How much of that was real versus playing it up for the camera?
Kameron: After we found out that we were partners, that night we spent the whole night getting to know each other, and the next day [choreographer] Mia Michaels just had us hug each other for probably five to seven minutes. The chemistry that we had was real; as far as anything we had in a relationship sense, that was fabricated by the show.

TVGuide.com: What was your favorite memory of the show?
Kameron: Just when everybody was back at the apartment and hanging out, especially the top 10. A lot of people thought that towards the end it would get really competitive, and that's not the feel of it at all. We all became like a family. If, for example, somebody would get a Latin ballroom dance, Lacey would go in and help out. From what I've heard, there was nothing like that the last two seasons.

TVGuide.com: Did you have a favorite choreographer?
Kameron: I would definitely have to say Tyce Diorio. Working with him were my easiest rehearsals because I think he understood me as a dancer.

TVGuide.com: Which style or choreographer was most difficult for you?
Kameron: That would definitely be Maria Torres in the hustle. I definitely got a lot of "no's" during those rehearsals.

TVGuide.com: In last week's show, you did a solo that was hip-hop. Is that your specialty?
Kameron: The original plan was that nobody was going to do their solos because nobody was dancing for their lives anymore, but we found out an hour before the show that we were doing solos after all. So I really wasn't prepared as well as I should have been to do my solo. My specialty is more of a contemporary hip-hop.

TVGuide.com: So what are your plans once the tour wraps up?
Kameron: After the tour I'm going to move to L.A. and try to do as much as I can. Before the show I really wasn't working and dancing as much as I would have liked, but talking to all those choreographers made me open my eyes and realize that this is where I should be.

TVGuide.com: Who do you think will win?
Kameron: Honestly, I think it's anybody's game at this point. Everybody has something different to bring to the table and they're all really great. I do think that the girls are a lot stronger — they're definitely bringing it this year.

TVGuide.com: Who do you wish would win?
Kameron: I think Dominic and Sabra have come so far, and I would love to see them in the final four.

So You Think You Can Dance Says Goodbye to Jaimie

2007-08-02T12:45:00.000-04:00

Was So You Think You Can Dance on last night? I'm really hoping it wasn't since my Tivo didn't record it, and I'm going to be bummed if I missed an episode. Another one who may be bummed is contestant Jaimie Goodwin, who got the boot last week in the first elimination due to viewers votes, or lack thereof. She sat down with TV Guide to dish on her relationship with Hok and what's in store for her in the future.

TVGuide.com: Do you think you deserved to go home?
Jaimie Goodwin: I did my best, so I can't really say that I deserved to go home, but I'm not upset about it. Everyone there deserves to be there, and if someone has to go, then I'm completely OK with it. I actually said to my dance teacher and my friends, “Do you guys want to come to the show on Thursday? Because I think I'm going home.” I think I'm psychic.

TVGuide.com: Do you think you're in shock about it, or that it might hit you later?
Jaimie: I don't think so. My main goal was to be in the top 10, and now that I've done that, I'm all set. I just love everyone on the show, and it was harder to watch someone like Shauna, Jesus or Hok leave than it was for me to go.

TVGuide.com: Was it any different knowing you were the first to go home because of the viewers instead of the judges?
Jaimie: I don't know if it was any different for me. I know the people vote according to their opinion and their tastes, and I can't really blame it on anyone. I have a lot of great people who are supporting me. Last night the first thing I did was look at my e-mails, and someone had written me and said that her family always fights, but they watched the show together and agreed I was their favorite. She wanted to thank me for being on the show because it inspired her and made her family better. That was the first thing I saw after being eliminated and it was a huge inspiration for me.

TVGuide.com: So, you knew Travis Wall and Danny growing up?
Jaimie: Yeah, I've known Travis for a very long time. He was my dance partner for five years, and he's my best friend. Danny I wasn't as close to, but since they're brothers, I grew up with him as well. Travis wanted me to do the show with him last year but I was too young, so I went with Danny this year, and we were excited because we'd never danced together. So when Mia Michaels choreographed the group number, she put us together as partners and it ended up being the last thing we did.

TVGuide.com: Did Travis give you any good advice when you were coming on the show?
Jaimie: Travis' main advice to me was always, "Don't read the [message] boards," because you can have one negative thing and a thousand positive things, and the only thing you'll really hear is the negative. People can love and hate you for the same things, and you can never satisfy everyone — it just ends up tearing you down.

TVGuide.com: What were your experiences dancing with Hok versus dancing with Dominic?
Jaimie: Actually, they were very similar. They're both breakers, they both have an amazing work ethic, and they're both great performers. I think they pushed me to work harder because they work so hard themselves. I feel lucky to have danced with them.

TVGuide.com: The show played up your chemistry and your relationship with Hok. How much of that was true?
Jaimie: [Laughs] Hok and I don't really have that relationship at all. We were always trying to strengthen our chemistry because we thought that if we were so comfortable with each other outside the dance studio, we would be just as comfortable on stage. But I have a boyfriend, and [Hok] likes someone else on the show. So that was always just a joke between us, and it was a big shock when they asked us about that in our interviews.

TVGuide.com: So who does Hok like?
Jaimie: I don't know if I can say because it's none of my business. They're really into each other, but we're not supposed to have relationships on the show.

TVGuide.com: Did you have a favorite dance on the show?
Jaimie: My favorite dance by far was Wade Robson's piece, the butterfly and hummingbird. It was awesome. I think all his pieces are something every dancer looks forward to because they know that his vision is just crazy. Hok was the perfect hummingbird.

TVGuide.com: What a compliment. Do you have a favorite memory from the show?
Jaimie: The Hairspray premiere was a huge ordeal for us, and Nigel's birthday party was a lot of fun, but ultimately my favorite moments were just hanging out backstage. We had a lot of fun in the hair-and-makeup room, in the studios and in the apartments — I think that's where we all really bonded. And every Wednesday we'd get together and watch the show.

TVGuide.com: What was the hardest thing for you on the show in terms of dancing?
Jaimie: Oh, probably the waltz, because the first time I did it [with Hok], it was just hard, neither of us knew the waltz. And when I got it the second time [with Dominic], there was more pressure on us.

TVGuide.com: So who do you think will win?
Jaimie: Rough question. It's hard because everyone is so different and all of them are good at what they do in terms of dancing. I just think it's really going to be a big surprise to everyone this year.

TVGuide.com: Who do you want to see win?
Jaimie: I could have picked out someone a while [back], but now that I know everyone and have seen their accomplishments, I couldn't pick out anybody.

TVGuide.com: What will you do tomorrow, now that you're off the show?
Jaimie: I'm trying to do normal things because for the past three months I really haven't done anything normal. I haven't really even gotten my own food in the last four months! I'm going to find a flight home because I want to see my family, but I have to be back here in a week to rehearse for the finale.

TVGuide.com: And what will be next for you?
Jaimie: I have a lot I want to do, inside and outside of dance. I want to be in a contemporary company one day; I want to work more in commercials and TV — I know more dance spots are opening up for that and I would love to jump in. Also, my family and I are opening up a breast-cancer fund in my mom's name. Writing is another one of my other hobbies and I want to write a book about my mom's journey, and there are people I'm collaborating with to set that up. Dancing is always my first priority, so I want to be able to juggle it all at the same time. The show's exposure has really meant a lot.

Another Baby on the Way for Chris O'Donnell and Wife

2007-08-02T12:04:00.001-04:00

And if you're keeping track, this would make baby no. 5. The Grey's Anatomy actor let the news casually slip during a recent interview with Ann Curry on the Today Show. Ann asked about the couple's four kids and he said there's "another on the way," and exchange high-fives with Anne.

"Yeah, we're just starting to figure out how it works. I think I know why this is happening, but we're really excited about it," he joked.

Chris has been married to his wife Caroline Fentress since 1997. Their four kids are Lily, Chip, Charlie and Finley, ages 7 to 16 months.

The View Finally Adds New Co-Host

2007-08-02T11:51:00.001-04:00

At long last, the ladies of The View finally welcomed someone new to their table, comedienne Whoopi Goldberg. Promising to be herself and shun little high heels, Whoopi will definitely bring a new perspective and opinion to the show, and the women on the panel are excited about the prospect.

"I think Whoopi brings warmth," Behar, 64, tells PEOPLE magazine. "We know that she brings humor and talent, but she also brings warmth, and on television, people have to like you. She's very, very likable, and I'm thrilled to have her." Barbara Walters adds, "When you have a woman who is as smart and as talented as Whoopi, it makes everyday fun." "We still have arguments about politics, and I think that's the way the show should be," Behar says. "Whoopi, I think she argues also. She has her own speed and her own style."

Although Whoopi was officially welcomed to the chatfest this past Wednesday, she doesn't start her new day job until after Labor Day.

No word on what Rosie thinks yet, but I'm sure it's forthcoming.

It's Official: Nicole Richie to Be a Mommy

2007-08-02T11:40:00.000-04:00

This week seems to be all about admissions ... first Star Jones finally admits that yes, indeed, she had gastric bypass surgery. Now Nicole Richie has come forward and admitted that she is almost four months pregnant with boyfriend Joel Madden's baby. Now why she had to do it on Good Morning America is beyond me, but no matter.

In a two-part interview (second piece airing tomorrow), Nicole told Diane Sawyer, "I would really want to be someone my child would look up to.: Unfortunately she has that pesky four-day jail sentence ahead for her DUI arrest back in December but said that "This is my way ... of being an adult."

Her boyfriend, Good Charlotte rocker boyfriend Joel Madden, sat by her side during the interview and said that when Nicole was arrested, he thought about leaving her. "This is a great time to walk away," he said, thinking he'd tell her, "Nicole, it's been great, but you just freaked me out." But instead, he said, "Or, you can go with your gut and, you know, my gut with Nicole has always been she's a great woman."

Nicole said she took five home pregnancies tests when she thought she might have been pregnant and "... didn't really believe it until I heard the heartbeat."

Cover Girl: Lindsay Lohan on LA Confidential

2007-07-31T15:14:00.000-04:00

For someone who has so much going for her, it's a shame that actress and perennial party girl Lindsay Lohan ended up in trouble again last week. In any event, she graced the July cover of Los Angeles Confidential magazine and sat down to dish about her latest movie and being misunderstood.

LOS ANGELES CONFIDENTIAL: You’ve been spending a lot of time out and about in New York. Is it good to be back East?
LINDSAY LOHAN: I love New York and being here… I haven’t seen my family enough, but it’s been a lot of fun.

LAC: Tell us about your role in I Know Who Killed Me.
LL: It’s the best film I could imagine being a part of. I play a girl who’s abducted by a serial killer; she’s an exotic dancer. It’s difficult to fully explain her without giving away the whole film. I had to learn to walk with a prosthetic leg… It’s my first really intense role. I was doing it when I was in treatment, so it was a lot.

LAC: Will your fans be shocked by the film?
LL: Yes, definitely.

LAC: She sounds like a very “adult” character. Did you deliberately choose a role that would contrast with the others you’re known for?
LL: I did in some ways… I always try and pick [a character] with an arc in the film. You don’t come across characters like this very often. I don’t expect people to relate to her, necessarily, but I wanted to give life to her. The script is just so incredible… I read it and it felt like The Silence of the Lambs, something I’ve always dreamed of finding.

LAC: What does a psychological thriller allow you to do as an actor?
LL: In this case, the things I go through are so dramatic… I do a lot of crying in scenes; at one point [my character] takes a bunch of pills. I didn’t know how to approach the challenge, so I just dove in. She experiences things I certainly hope to never go through in real life. I also get to dance in the film, which I love to do.

>LAC: Like stripping? Was that nerve-wracking?
LL: Leading up to it, I was a little shaky, but I had some friends on set and in the end I wasn’t nervous. Once I was in costume and really “in it,” the scene went great. It doesn’t come across as cheesy or gross, like, “Oh, she just wanted to take her clothes off.”

LAC: You’re coming off all the Georgia Rule hype…. How was that experience, acting alongside people like Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman?
LL: I’ve been really blessed—and I’ll say that forever—to work with these older women I respect, and who are always offering advice. I’m open to it, and really appreciate it.

LAC: How do you picture your career changing in the coming years? Is there a career you’d like to emulate?
LL: There are a lot of people I admire, of course… Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts. I love Madonna… but I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself and say I’ll have a career like someone else. That’s setting myself up for disappointment. I’ve got to just go with it and do what I do.

LAC: Congrats on topping the Maxim Hot 100 list…. As we speak, you’re getting ready to go to the party celebrating the issue. Do you think those nominations are fun or silly?
LL: I think it’s really cool. I’m genuinely flattered. My friends have been texting me, saying congratulations and blah blah blah…. It’s a lot of pressure, considering I haven’t been working out. I’ve just been going out and having fun.

LAC: You’re about to turn 21. Do you think some of the paparazzi hype that follows you will die down when you’re of legal age?
LL: I didn’t even think of that. I hope so, because it detracts from my acting. It really takes away from what I do. Look, I’m only human, and people try and find anything on me. I have a boyfriend now [British looker Calum Best] and pretty soon I’ll be going home to LA, so everything will hopefully change then when things are calmer. It’s so funny…. This week in New York has been like “go go go go,” and then it all suddenly is going to stop.

LAC: People scrutinize your every move, now more than ever. What do you think the fascination is?
LL: I’m honest… I live my life the way I want to live it, and don’t let other people get me down. I’m very strong-willed.

LAC: Does the attention put undue strain on your relationships?
LL: It’s funny…. Since I’m seeing someone right now, we’ve been talking about it. He’s about to go to London and I’m going to LA. If we were to talk about it and maybe get into an argument, [the press] would go crazy; they’ll dig up people we dated in the past…. Luckily he’s had experience with the media before. I’ve gone through this with guys who’ve never experienced that kind of pressure, and it’s tough.

LAC: When someone gets down on you in the press, how do you deal with it?
LL: I don’t really deal with it. I’ve learned that as much as you want to retaliate and say “It’s not true, I’m not really like that, things didn’t happen like that,” it’s better not to say anything, not to feed into the bullshit. Because when you don’t feed into it, it goes away much faster.

LAC: Do you think LA is a great town, or a hard town?
LL: I think it’s a hard town. Anywhere can be hard if you’ve been through difficult stuff in your life. When you carry that with you it can make anywhere a dark place. I do love LA; I think it’s great, though I consider myself so lucky that I get to travel and get away when I need to. The real hard thing about LA is that it’s all about one thing. Everyone always wants something. This industry is very lonely; I tend to get very lonely. When it’s a Sunday in LA, and there’s no one around, and you see no cars go by, it’s a challenge.

LAC: What are the traits you look for in people who really get close to you?
LL: Honesty and loyalty. The people who’ve been my friends for a long time will say, “Don’t hang around with this or that person, they don’t have your best interest at heart.” I tend to trust everyone too much at the beginning, because I don’t like to cut off ties that easily. I should probably learn to, but it’s just not something I’m able to do that well. I really appreciate someone who’s honest and caring, with a great sense of humor.

LAC: Is it a misconception when people characterize you as someone who loves to party, who’s out all night?
LL: The thing is, people do things and mess up. No one’s perfect; I’m human. I live by that, and I don’t judge people. Everyone judges me, so I know how it feels, which is why I don’t judge other people.

Finally! Star Jones Reynolds Admits Gastric Bypass Surgery

2007-07-31T11:27:00.000-04:00

Although she has danced around the topic for quite awhile now, former View co-host Star Jones Reynolds has FINALLY admitted that she had gastric bypass surgery ... as if any of us had any doubt. She wrote an essay in the September issue of Glamour magazine. Some excerpts are below, but you can read the whole she-bang right here.

"The toughest part of the journey has been forgiving myself for not having the self-control I know I should have had, or admitting I needed help," she writes. "Every day I am learning to let go of my insecurities and acknowledge that I don't have all the answers, which is okay," she says. Though she still struggles with self-image, she writes that being healthy is what counts. "I'm not saying that in order to be happy, women need to be a certain size, but I am saying that we should all strive to be healthy."

Big Brother's Will Kirby Heading Back to TV

2007-07-30T19:24:00.000-04:00

You may remember him as the Big Brother contestant you loved to hate, but whether or not you were a fan, you're going to see Will Kirby's mug back on TV. The good doctor is heading for Dr. 90210. He recently gave an interview to US magazine -- love him or hate him, he's certainly full of personality. The new season of the E! series Dr. 90210 premieres tonight at 10 p.m.

Online Videos by Veoh.com

Us: Explain the type of medicine you practice.
WK: I deal with facial aesthetics and do whatever is necessary to make people look younger - botox, chemical peels and other complexion enhancements. I try to give patients those pouty little smiles that Hollywood loves. We’re moving away from the trend of giant boobs and duck lips. Instead, we’re seeing smaller procedures more often, just to make people look younger, as opposed to large procedures once in a lifetime that make you look like a cartoon. I see a lot of celebrities and pseudo-celebrities and bring more B, C and D-listers to the stage as the show progresses.

Us: What makes this season different than those past?
WK: I bring a more youthful element to the show. A lot of the [featured] doctors tend to be concerned with things like how their kids are going to do in school and re-doing their kitchen…that’s great but that doesn’t have anything to do with my life. My life has a lot more to do with dating, having fun and partying in the Hollywood scene.

Us: How will this reality role be different from your time on Big Brother?
WK: I don’t define myself by that crappy reality show, I define myself by a brand new crappy reality show! [pauses] Just kidding. Big Brother is a competition, based on the way I play the game, and obviously I do it well because I was on for two seasons. I think there’s a correlation between manipulation and intelligence. I’m a great mental competitor, but the only correlation between that and my medical practice is that you have to be intelligent to win Big Brother and you have to be intelligent to be a physician.

Us: Do you plan to again assume the role of the reality contestant viewers love to hate?
WK: Let’s not kid ourselves here. I’m the most egotistical person I know, but I think it’s important to have a doctor who is very confident. I believe in the P.T. Barnum effect: say what you want, just spell my name right.

Hok Says Sayonara on So You Think You Can Dance

2007-07-26T18:17:00.000-04:00

Hokuto "Hok" Konishi was one of my favorite contestants on FOX's hit show, So You Think You Can Dance, and I was sorry to see him leave last week. He has such a great spirit, hopefully this exposure will be a fantastic launching pad for him. He sat down to dish with the folks at TV Guide about the whole experience, and what's in store for him now. But the real unanswered question ... is there anything going on between him and Jaimie?

TVGuide.com: Do you think you deserved to go home?
Hok Konishi: That's a hard question, but I think that whatever the judges say, their decision is right. At this point in the show, anyone can go home, so it was meant to be.

TVGuide.com: For the last few weeks, the judges have been criticizing your performances while complimenting your partner Jaimie's. What was that like for you?
Hok: It was hard. I think it's my own fault — if I was a better dancer, that would have never happened. The judges were right, and it just pushes me to work even harder.

TVGuide.com: How do you feel about being kicked off while Jaimie continues with the show?
Hok: I'm actually really glad that she's still on the show because I would have felt guilty — well, I did feel guilty for even putting her in the bottom three two weeks in a row. I just hope she does the best with the competition.

TVGuide.com: How much work went into preparing for your solo?
Hok: Actually, I wasn't feeling it for some reason for the past couple of days, so it wasn't that good. The day before the results show, when I started practicing I twisted my back muscle really bad and after that I couldn't practice at all. I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to dance when it came down to the solo, so I'm glad that at least I was able to dance those 30 seconds.

TVGuide.com: If you hadn't gotten kicked off, would your back have been a problem going into the next week of the competition?
Hok: Well, it's feeling better already and when you're put in that position, you have to keep on going no matter what.

TVGuide.com: What were your rehearsals like with Jaimie?
Hok: It was fun. She's a great partner to work with and she's an amazing dancer. We worked together really well.

TVGuide.com: How was your chemistry?
Hok: It was good. I got to know her in Vegas so we didn't have to start from zero when we were put together as partners. We knew a little bit about each other, and that helped.

TVGuide.com: What was your favorite dance you did on the show?
Hok: It has to be Wade Robson's "Hummingbird and Flower" piece by far. It's actually funny because right before I went up on stage, instead of thinking and going over the steps again, I was just really picturing myself as a hummingbird and going into the garden. If you don't believe that you are the bird, then that can't come across in your dancing. And if you worry about the steps, that's going to show. Wade's amazing, not just as a dancer and a choreographer but also as an artist. The way he thinks really inspires me.

TVGuide.com: Because of the relationship you developed with Wade, was it difficult hearing criticism from him about your last duet with Jaimie?
Hok: It was, but I'm happy that he gave me criticism — it made sense. If he just said it was good, I would have been happy, but I wouldn't have learned anything. I loved the fact that he was hard and on point and that I was able to actually learn something from the critique.

TVGuide.com: Which style was the most difficult for you?
Hok: The waltz was a big challenge for me because the nature of my movements is completely opposite from everything they told me to do. With some choreography that I was used to, I could kind of guess what was coming up next, but with a completely new style, you have to learn all the specifics and you have to be focused on that, yet you can't show that in your face. It was definitely a challenge, but I had so much fun learning it.

TVGuide.com: What's your favorite memory from SYTYCD?
Hok: Everything. Just being around everyone and all of us going through it together, living together and learning new stuff every day. The experience of being with all the contestants was such a blessing for me and I'm just so sad that I can't continue on with that journey.

TVGuide.com: Do you think you will stay in touch with everyone?
Hok: Definitely. This is something that's going to last a lifetime.

TVGuide.com: What's next for you?
Hok: I think I'll rest for a couple of days and then start my training again, just become a better dancer. If possible, I would like to use this exposure to be able to travel to different places around the world and show my dancing to people and hopefully inspire them.

TVGuide.com: Who do you think will win?
Hok: I really don't know. This show could go either way, but what I can say is that everyone on the show is just truly amazing. They're blessed with talent and they have great personalities. I just think they're different colors on a palette, so it just comes down to what America likes.

So You Think You Can Dance Says Goodbye to Anya

2007-07-26T18:13:00.000-04:00

Last week, we said goodbye to 26-year-old So You Think You Can Dance contestant Anya Garnis. She was the oldest female competitor on the show and clearly a judges' favorite, along with her show partner, Danny, who stayed. TV Guide sat down with her to catch up on her feelings about being on the show, and her costume collection.

TVGuide.com: Do you think you deserved to go home?
Anya Garnis: Based on the feedback from the judges throughout the whole competition and my solo last night, I don't think I deserved to be sent home. But it's really not up to me and I know that. I don't have any regrets. I did my best and I really danced my heart out.

TVGuide.com: Since the judges seemed to really like your performance, did being in the bottom three come as a surprise?
Anya: Being in the bottom two the two weeks before that, I was hoping our dance would come across a little bit stronger. But I was kind of prepared because it's been six weeks and now it's more about the personality, and people really have their favorites. I appreciated that the judges really loved the dance because I felt like as a couple it was our best performance on the show.

TVGuide.com: What was it like to get kicked off but have your partner, Danny Tidwell, stay?
Anya: Danny had gotten some criticism earlier and I'm happy that he has an opportunity to show America more of what he's all about. He's truly an amazing person and performer.

TVGuide.com: How were your rehearsals with Danny?
Anya: We worked really great together. I felt like we had a good balance because for the things that I didn't remember, he would help me out and for the things he didn't remember, I would help him out.

TVGuide.com: And how was your chemistry?
Anya: Really good. Danny is such a wonderful person, such a goofball, and he's always so funny. I don't know where the controversy came from about his personality, but it's a reality-TV show and you just have 20 seconds to show the audience who you are as a person. But honestly, he's just an amazingly talented dancer and partner.

TVGuide.com: You and Pasha have been partners for a long time. Were you competitive or supportive on the show?
Anya: Really supportive! I've known Pasha for a really long time — he's my best friend. I'm still going to be really supportive of him and I'm really excited that he's gotten through. Hopefully I'll see him up there in the top four.

TVGuide.com: Is it difficult to see him continue when he didn't want to audition in the first place?
Anya: No. Once he made the decision, he was completely 150 percent there. I knew that when he decided to come with me to the audition and be there with me, that was his choice. He changed his mind and he admitted that it's his life now.

TVGuide.com: What was your favorite dance you did on the show?
Anya: Even though we got a little bit of criticism, I would say it was my contemporary dance. I felt like there was such a deep story behind that. I've never done that style before and I felt like there was more free movement and such a great connection between Danny and me. I felt I truly expressed myself and I brought the story across — at least that's what I'd like to think.

TVGuide.com: Which style was most difficult for you?
Anya: Hip-hop was really tough for me because the choreography was based on the sound, not the major count. It was pretty tough for me to hear those sounds and not the beat. [Laughs] That was a challenge for me.

TVGuide.com: You've worn some pretty interesting costumes on the show for your solos. Do you make them?
Anya: I design them, but I have a dressmaker in NYC who makes them. I thought I would have more of a chance to show America my costumes — I had quite a suitcase with me. [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Are these the costumes you wore in competitions with Pasha?
Anya: Yeah, some of the costumes I didn't want to give away or sell because I have so many memories with them. With one costume I made the world final, another I made the U.S. final. I kind of collect them, I guess.

TVGuide.com: Who was the first person you called after you found out?
Anya: It was Pasha who called me. So many people were calling, but I picked it up [when he called] because he knew how I felt and he knows me better than anyone else. After I danced my solo, he had come up to me to tell me that he'd never seen me dance like that before because I had such energy. I really believed him because he's always really, really honest. Sometimes too honest. [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Did you get to speak to anyone else?
Anya: I had to leave right away because I had to move. But I also felt that I didn't want to spoil anything. I wanted to let them celebrate the top 10. I want to be part of it as well, but I didn't want to spoil the evening, because at the end of the day it's tough putting your heart out there every week, working that hard. I felt that they deserved to celebrate and enjoy the moment. It happens only once in your life.

TVGuide.com: Has it sunk in yet that your journey on the show is over?
Anya: I think it will hit me later tonight.

TVGuide.com: What's the first thing you'll do tomorrow?
Anya: I think I'm just going to relax, get my thoughts together and see what's out there. I'll move forward — there is definitely life after this. It's just the beginning because this was a great opportunity, and I appreciate the judges who saw something in me and put me on that stage to begin with.

TVGuide.com: What's next for you?
Anya: I truly believe that if one door closes, another will open. I feel that something will definitely open up because I truly believe in what I have in me and my passion and what I can bring across. I will take any opportunity just to grow as an artist.

TVGuide.com: Now that you're gone, who do you think will win?
Anya: It's hard to say. I believe that any of the contestants deserves to win, but it's going to be really difficult to decide. I think you can see the progress in every single person, every single week, and it's really just fascinating to see. As a dancer, I appreciate that.

Val Kilmer to Hit the Small Screen

2007-07-26T18:06:00.001-04:00

Movie star Val Kilmer is heading for the small screen this Fall, with an upcoming appearance scheduled for the season premiere of Numb3rs, airing on September 28th.

One of the shows' stars, David Krumholtz (Charlie) is very excited about the news, telling TV Guide, "It's a double whammy!" says David. "We've had a lot of great actors on the show, but Val takes the cake. Val played the original math and science genius in Real Genius," reminds Krumholtz. "That was shot at Cal Tech, which is where we shoot our show. Val is revisiting his old roots as an actor."

He goes on to say, "He's one of the most provocative actors. It proves our show is a cut above the rest to attract actors like him. Hopefully this will get more eyes on our show."

Criminal Minds Star Shemar Moore On Probation

2007-07-25T12:56:00.000-04:00

Criminal Minds actor Shemar Moore was arrested on June 1st after being stopped for speeding. He was officially charged on June 22 with a DUI and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 percent or above, said Frank Mateljan, city attorney spokesman.

He has now been sentenced to 3 years of probation and 80 hours of community service after pleading no contest in an alcohol-related speeding case. As part of his plea arrangement, he had to plead no contest to a misdemeanor count of exhibition of speed, and the DUI charges were then dropped.

"I'm a serious and conscientious person by nature, but my one vice is driving fast, and it unfortunately took something like this for me to take stock and slow down," the actor said in a statement last month.

Another Day, More Trouble for Lindsay Lohan

2007-07-24T17:45:00.001-04:00

The non-stop party girl is back in trouble again. It seems even her alcohol monitoring bracelet wasn't enough to keep her out of trouble. Lindsay's attorney, Blair Berk, issued the following statement to TMZ:

"Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease. Since Lindsay transitioned to outpatient care, she has been monitored on a SCRAM bracelet and tested daily in order to support her sobriety. Throughout this period, I have received timely and accurate reports from the testing companies. Unfortunately, late yesterday I was informed that Lindsay had relapsed. The bracelet has now been removed. She is safe, out of custody and presently receiving medical care."

Matt Leinart's Baby Mama Speaks Out

2007-07-24T17:23:00.000-04:00

NFL Quarterback Matt Leinart has been yapping lately about how great it is being a new dad and all, but the mother of his 9-month-old son begs to differ.

Brynn Cameron, a USC women's basketball player, and former girlfriend of Matt, has been pretty much raising their son, Cole, on her own. In a recent interview with Ventura County Star, she said, "It's kind of hard for me as the mom — I'm with Cole probably 99.9 percent of the time — to open a magazine or read a newspaper article with Matt saying, Oh, I love being a dad. I love changing diapers. I love doing this. I'm like, Wait, what?' I don't know how to word how he is about this, but it's been hard when I'm doing all the work, but he gets all the credit for it."

She said that Matt "comes and goes whenever he wants. I don't want to sit here and bad-mouth his lifestyle, but it is hard because we are different people. He likes that Hollywood stuff and I don't like that and raising a kid together, you have to work together as parents, but we're so different. It's hard, but I have to raise Cole to be a strong, secure kid so he knows what's right and wrong, what's good and bad and what really matters in life, which isn't what's going on in Hollywood or who's dating who. That's not what it's all about, and I think he'll know that being raised by me."

Seems like he's following in the footsteps of Eddie Murphy. But, well, at least Matt accepted the fact that he's a dad.

Drew Carey Named New Host of The Price Is Right

2007-07-24T10:38:00.000-04:00

At long last, a successor to Bob Barker's throne has been named. Even though plenty of others wanted it (i.e., Rosie O'Donnell and Mario Lopez to name a few) and vied for the title, funnyman Drew Carey has walked away with the crown.

He revealed the news last night on David Letterman.

"It was like 15 minutes ago, they called me, it's a done deal," comedian Drew Carey said. "I'm the new host of 'The Price Is Right.'"

Carey told Letterman, "As long as Bob Barker is cool with it, the fans will be cool with it."

"I'm cool with it," Barker told The Associated Press after hearing what Carey said.

Although they have yet to meet, Bob Barker gave Carey a few words of wisdom: "Go out there and do that show the way you think it should be done. Don't imitate me and don't imitate anyone else."

Dawson's Creek Cast Member to Join CSI: NY

2007-07-23T15:25:00.000-04:00

Dawson's Creek cast member Kerr Smith has signed on to join the cast of CSI: NY this Fall as both an expert in forged documents and a new love interest for Melina Kanakaredes' character, Stella. So far, I can't picture the two of them together, but I'm sure they'll make it work.

The show's executive producer Pam Veasey said, "Well, he pretends to be an expert in forged documents. He has a mysterious background that we are slowly developing. He's a love interest who has an ulterior motive."

Smith was also on the short-lived show Justice.

Shauna Noland Says Bye-Bye on So You Think You Can Dance

2007-07-19T19:02:00.000-04:00

Along with Cedric, last week we also said good-bye to Shauna Noland, an 18-year-old blonde that was paired with both Cedric and Jimmy. After she left, she sat down with TV Guide to dish about her lack of air-time during auditions and what's in store for her in the future. Tune in tonight to see who else goes home.

TVGuide.com: Do you think you deserved to go home?
Shauna Noland: At this point, no one really deserves to go home. But they have to get rid of two people, so it was just my time to go.

TVGuide.com: Some of the other dancers, like Lacey and Hok, were featured frequently in the audition episodes, but not you. Why do you think that is?
Shauna: If I could figure that out, I'd be so happy. [Laughs] I have no idea. From Day 1 of auditions, they know what they're doing and I think they sort of had it all planned out. Who knows why they didn't show me?

TVGuide.com: Do you feel that affected your connection with the audience?
Shauna: Yeah, I do think so. When it first started, everyone was like, "Who's the blonde girl?" It definitely would have helped if I had been seen in the auditions, but there's not much I can do about that now.

TVGuide.com: How much work went into preparing for your final solo?
Shauna: For me, doing a solo is very mental. I like to have a plan of where I'm going to go on stage for what parts, but I don't actually plan out my solo, because I think that when you're up on stage dancing for your life, it brings out a lot more emotions than it would at the studio choreographing it. I feel more, like, real and in the moment when I just improv on stage and let my emotions speak for me.

TVGuide.com: You have a few signature moves, like the spiral spin with the leg raise. Did you learn or create that?
Shauna: The leg turn I started doing when I was probably about 13. It was something I was playing around with at the studio and I just thought it was fun. My teacher thought it was cool and told me to practice it to get it consistent. From then on, I just worked on it and slowly started doing more turns, adding to it, and putting it at the end of different turn sequences.

TVGuide.com: What were rehearsals like with your first partner, Jimmy, and your second partner, Cedric?
Shauna: Rehearsals with Jimmy were awesome. We were both comfortable with the styles that we got, so that really helped because we were just having fun. With Cedric, it was awesome as well, but the styles were harder.

TVGuide.com: And how was your chemistry with them?
Shauna: I didn't really know Jimmy before we got paired together, so that was kind of rough. We almost got closer after he got kicked off the show, which was unfortunate. He would call me all the time and ask how I was doing. And with Cedric, I had gotten to know him before we were partners, so that helped.

TVGuide.com: What was your favorite dance on the show?
Shauna: I don't know. Broadway wasn't really my style of Broadway, hip-hop wasn't really my style of hip-hop, contemporary wasn't really my style of contemporary.... I felt like a lot of it wasn't really me and didn't show a lot of who I was. But based on that, my favorite would probably be hip-hop or contemporary.

TVGuide.com: Who was your favorite choreographer?
Shauna: Tyce [Diorio]. He does a great job making the dancers feel comfortable doing his work and understanding it.

TVGuide.com: What style was the most difficult for you?
Shauna: Definitely the mambo. It's the total opposite of what I'm used to. I'm used to ballet arms and posture and it's all bent. It's hard.

TVGuide.com: Which body part hurts the most?
Shauna: My feet. [Laughs] They're kind of a disaster right now, I have blisters everywhere and my toes are all split and one of my toenails is about to fall off.

TVGuide.com: So no sandals anytime soon?
Shauna: No sandals. [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Who were you rooming with?
Shauna: Lacey, Jamie and Lauren. We had a blast — it was an awesome room.

TVGuide.com: How long did you cry after you found out you were going?
Shauna: I had totally prepared myself for it. I don't know why, but I had a strange feeling that I was going to go home, so when they said it to me, I actually was fine. I was smiling and thinking, "Bummer, but oh well." But as soon as the [video montage] played, I started crying — only because they put it to such sad music! I went up to [executive producer/judge] Nigel [Lythgoe] afterwards and said, "Can we change that music? Because it made me cry."

TVGuide.com: Has it sunk in yet?
Shauna: Yeah, I'm a realistic person, so I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm a strong believer that things happen for a reason, so I know that it's just time for me to move on and do other things.

TVGuide.com: Such as?
Shauna: I'm going to continue auditioning and dancing. Being at the premiere of Hairspray and talking to all those people really made me realize how much I want to do other stuff, too. I think I'm going to start getting into acting and singing a lot more as well.

TVGuide.com: Now that you're gone, who do you think will win?
Shauna: At this point, I have no idea because everyone is so different and they're throwing a lot of twists, like last week with Jessi and Jesús. No one knows what's going to happen.

No word on if they will continue on ABC's hit dancing competition Dancing with the Stars, but in the meantime judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli have a new show in the works. It's some sort of reality competition featuring dancing singers based on a BBC hit, Dance X.

Carrie Ann and Bruno will be pitted against each other, coaching and choreographing dancers in various styles. Another show for us to get hooked on!

Cover Girl: Hilary Duff on Shape Magazine

2007-07-19T18:48:00.001-04:00

Actress and singer Hilary Duff is looking quite buff on the new issue of Shape magazine. Inside, she dishes about how she finally got so fit, as well as shares a few of her favorite exercises and workout tunes.

Cover Girl: Anne Hathaway on Marie Claire

2007-07-19T18:42:00.000-04:00

Squeaky-clean actress Anne Hathaway of Brokeback Mountain and The Devil Wears Prada Fame lets loose in her Marie Claire interview for the magazine's August issue. Here are a few excerpts from the 24-year-old's mouth:

"I love [the band] Peaches. When people are all like, 'Do you think you have a squeaky-clean image?' I'm like, 'Could a squeaky-clean girl know all the lyrics to 'Teaches of Peaches'? I mean, my favorite song is called 'F—k the Pain Away.'"

"I'm not a walking one-woman drama show. I'm pretty bad entertainment – I'm not particularly well dressed, and I haven't graduated from college. I think you should like Natalie Portman a lot more."

"I don't actively search for [movies] that I can get naked in. It's not the most fun requirement of the job, but nor is it something that I would ever NOT do a job because of. It is what it is. Some people choose not to do it on moral grounds; I think that's a shoddy argument. I turned down another movie because it was going to show a vagina – not mine, but somebody else's. And I didn’t believe that it was actually necessary to the story."

Casting News for Brothers and Sisters

2007-07-18T17:09:00.000-04:00

I love the show, Brothers and Sisters. One minute it's ultra-serious, and the next minute you're cracking up. That and having to look at Rob Lowe week after week certainly isn't torture.

Danny Glover, he of Lethal Weapon fan, has been snapped up to join the cast for the Fall season, playing a love interest of Sally Field. He has signed on for a minimum of 8 episodes and will be working with Rob Lowe as his campaign manager.

So You Think You Can Dance's Cedric Talks

2007-07-18T17:03:00.000-04:00

Last week, we said good-bye to Cedric Gardner, 23, from the hit FOX show, So You Think You Can Dance. I really felt bad for him, the way the judges kept beating him up week after week. But he took their criticisms and negativity with stride and a great attitude, improving with each step. He recently sat down with TV Guide to dish about his stint on the show, and what's in store for him in the future.

TVGuide.com: Do you think you deserved to go home?
Cedric Gardner: Yes. I think I deserved to go home three weeks ago.

TVGuide.com: So when Nigel and the other judges said that you weren't improving and that you let your partner down....
Cedric: They were right, and if they didn't give me feedback, I wouldn't have learned.

TVGuide.com: How much work went into preparing for your solo?
Cedric: I was just freestyling.

TVGuide.com: You danced first with Faina, then with Shauna. How was it different with your two partners?
Cedric: I was closer with Shauna. We had a lot of fun. She was really supportive of the fact that I hadn't learned any of this before.

TVGuide.com: Which body part now hurts the most?
Cedric: None of them. I kind of got a knee problem, but it's nothing severe like everyone else. My body doesn't break up that easily.

TVGuide.com: What's your favorite memory from the show?
Cedric: My favorite memory is just cooking every night with Hok, Dominic, Jesús and Danny at our house. If we had time, we'd all cook together and just eat at the table and make jokes — mainly about me. [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Was it hard saying goodbye to two people every week?
Cedric: To see Jesús and Ricky go, and definitely to see Jimmy go, was hard because in my heart I felt like I should be leaving. The hardest part for me personally was the fact that I was still on the show, and knowing that I had all of these chances to keep proving myself.

TVGuide.com: Do you think you'll stay in touch with the other dancers?
Cedric: Yeah. We're a really close family. I've already talked to a couple of them this morning.

TVGuide.com: After you were eliminated, who did you call first?
Cedric: My girlfriend in Wisconsin, and then my phone died, so that was it. My parents were already here.

TVGuide.com: Has it sunk in that your SYTYCD journey is over?
Cedric: It sank in like two or three weeks ago, to be honest with you. I never joined this show to win it, I just wanted to learn from it.

TVGuide.com: What's the first thing you'll do tomorrow?
Cedric: I'll probably go to my mom and dad's store and help out. Sell some cookies. We own [a] Nestlé Tollhouse cookies [franchise store] in California. So I'll do that, spend some time at the golf course and play basketball or something. After tomorrow, it starts again. I'm going to just start studying right away. I want to be able to turn better than Danny!

TVGuide.com: Will you take Debbie Allen up on her offer of attending her dance school?
Cedric: Most definitely! I also got a toy-company offer that a lot of people don't know about. Wild Animal Planet wants me to come out to San Francisco for a week or so for a trip to their toy company to see how it's done, because that's my other ambition. I want to own my own toy company.

TVGuide.com: What will you take away from the show?
Cedric: The whole experience of working with some of the best dancers in the world. Everything has just been such a blessing.

TVGuide.com: Who do you think will win?
Cedric: Everybody's done such a good job, it's hard to predict. But, the way I'm looking at it, I think it'll definitely be a hip-hop dancer or a girl. It has to be that way because of karma and the universe.

TVGuide.com: Did you and Shauna say anything to each other after the results show?
Cedric: Yeah. The thing about Shauna and me is that we both believe the same thing — if it's meant to be, then it's fine. Everything happens for a reason.

2007-07-18T16:57:00.000-04:00

Last month, Bones actress Tamara Taylor walked down the aisle at the Hotel Esencia in Mexico to marry attorney Miles Cooley. Her rep told People magazine, "They are both thrilled. Their wedding day could not have been more perfect."

The happy couple got engaged last Spring. While you may recognize Tamara from her role as Dr. Camille Saroyan on the hit FOX show, Bones, she also starred as Matthew Fox's significant other on the show Party of Five.

First Big Brother Cast-Off Speaks

2007-07-17T13:31:00.000-04:00

Carol Journey has the distinct honor of being the first houseguest to leave the Big Brother 8 house, and she is quite happy about it, surprisingly enough. TV Guide recently sat down with her to get the behind-the-scenes dish on her very-short experience.

TVGuide.com: You seemed to know that you'd be evicted.
Carol Journey: I made it very clear that I wanted to go home, that it wasn't necessarily my cup of tea. I'm excited to go home. I'm... pretty thrilled, actually.

TVGuide.com: When you heard that some houseguests would be living with people from their past, were you shocked to see Jessica walking down those stairs?
Carol: I thought it had to be a joke. I honestly thought that our fight from eighth grade, when we were 13 years old, was just so petty and minuscule that it was nothing like the conflicts between the other houseguests. I was very surprised to see her.

TVGuide.com: Jessica said that it all started over a $5 loan.
Carol: She is so full of it, I can't even handle it. I don't remember what the conflict was about, but I doubt that $5 would ruin a three-year friendship and cause me not to talk to a person for seven years. I did not hold on to this at all, but she's obviously still holding a grudge.

TVGuide.com: She's got quite a grating voice.
Carol: I'm glad somebody else noticed that besides me. She's always sounded like the ditz.

TVGuide.com: But on to the other houseguests: What's up with Jen and those "Jenius" T-shirts?
Carol: You can't take her seriously. It's more of a joke. I found it very humorous. I'm not gonna lie — the first few days I found her hard to swallow, but as I got to know her, she was a great girl. [Jen's was the one vote cast for Amber, to keep Carol in the house.] I'm glad she won HoH; I hope she kicks ass.

TVGuide.com: Who do you want her to put up?
Carol: Jessica and Daniele. [Update: At the nomination ceremony on Sunday, Jen put Daniele and her father, Dick, on the block.] Daniele was two-faced throughout the whole process, very much like Jessica; I think that's why the two of them got along so well. Daniele is not a very nice person, to be quite honest. You'll see it. It'll come out, I promise.

TVGuide.com: So is Nick going to hook up with someone?
Carol: Nick is the Casanova. I could see him and Daniele hooking up within a few weeks. But I don't think any of the other girls are dumb enough to fall for it.

TVGuide.com: But Daniele has a boyfriend back home.
Carol: I still think they're gonna hook up. I mean, Daniele "talks" about having a boyfriend, but for someone with a boyfriend [she and Nick] got really close and personal. I feel bad for her boyfriend.

TVGuide.com: Did Amber cry all the time in front of you guys, or just in the confessionals?
Carol: Amber was quite the crier. She was scared and didn't want to go home; she didn't want to disappoint her family. I think it was genuine, all the crying, but it got a little excessive.

TVGuide.com: Any thoughts on Evil Dick?
Carol: Evil Dick was a good person to have debates and discussions with, but the vulgar and crude vocabulary was a little unnerving. He said things that I found... disturbing. And he revealed himself several times. But when he wasn't being disgusting and perverted, he was fun to talk to.

TVGuide.com: Did you have any inkling that Eric was "America's Player"?
Carol: What's America's Player?

TVGuide.com: America's voting online for him to accomplish different tasks. This is news to you?
Carol: Very much so. I don't know anything about it.

TVGuide.com: What's your impression of him?
Carol: I thought Eric was a pretty good guy, all in all. He was very entertaining. I think all of them are good people, but I'm afraid I'm going to see their true colors when I actually get to watch the show.

TVGuide.com: What did you take away from your brief time in the house?
Carol: I definitely had an eye-opening experience with the whole gay community. I'd never really learned anything about it before, but I learned a lot from Joe and Dustin. I took something out of my conversations with them — and they're two of the very few people I can say that about.

TVGuide.com: Who do you think will win?
Carol: It'll be between Kail and Mike... Kail because she's smart; she is playing the game in a fair, honest way, with integrity. She's not sacrificing her morals. And Mike is just too quiet to trust. I feel like he's got something brewing in there, just getting ready to come out.

TVGuide.com: Did you make any friendships that will last?
Carol: I can see myself staying in contact with Jen, Kail and Joe, maybe Eric and maybe Dustin.

TVGuide.com: But definitely not Jessica.
Carol: I have no intention of ever being friends with her. Not gonna happen. I can't even call her an acquaintance anymore.

TVGuide.com: She said maybe she'd see you at your reunion in 10 years....
Carol: Our reunion will be in seven years — that just shows how intelligent she is.

Trump's Ratings Brainstorm Gets a No-Go from Ro

2007-07-17T13:17:00.001-04:00

Donald Trump's show, The Apprentice, finally got the green light from NBC for another season. Yesterday when the good news came down, Donald and NBC execs mentioned that they thought Rosie O'Donnell would be a great addition to an episode. NBC Entertainment chief Ben Silverman told reporters yesterday, "It would be great to have Rosie [O'Donnell] on. Donald personally told me to extend an invitation to her." Honestly, after all the waging war of words The Donald and Rosie exchanged, did he really think she'd say yes? Well, if he did, he's outta luck, because her spokesperson told the AP, "It will never happen in this lifetime or beyond."

It's Official: Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn Finally Wed

2007-07-16T16:36:00.000-04:00

In what has to be the longest engagement in Hollywood history (or it at least certainly felt like it!), actress/model Rebecca Romijn finally walked down the aisle and wed actor Jerry O'Connell this weekend in LA. Jerry, brother of The Bachelor Charlie, actually proposed nearly two years ago, in September 2005. Given Rebecca already has one divorce under her belt (to actor John Stamos), caution and time probably wasn't such a bad idea.

The two married in an "intimate ceremony." I love when they say "intimate" ceremony. This "intimate" one had 100 family and friends of the couple. Intimate? Yeah, not so much, unless it's by Hollywood standards.

The duo's two pups, Taco and Better, were also part of the festivities, decked out in black bow ties.

Rebecca can be seen in ABC's comedy Ugly Betty, and Jerry goes back to work this fall, starring in a new comedy from ABC - Carpoolers.

It's Official: Mandy Patinkin Closes Door to Criminal Minds

2007-07-16T16:22:00.001-04:00

As we reported last week, there was much unrest on the CBS set of Criminal Minds, namely with the show's lead actor Mandy Patinkin. The show's executive producer recently posted the below update on the very popular Criminal Minds fansite, which was quickly followed by the official word that Mandy has requested to be let out of his contract, and granted said request. What the heck is he thinking?

"There have been several reports recently in the media about the Mandy Patinkin situation on Criminal Minds. Firstly, they are true — Mr. Patinkin has left the show. What's troubling to us, though, is that the reports tend to suggest or hint that the producers, the studios or CBS have something to do with what has happened. Phrases like 'maybe cooler heads will prevail... ' and the like have been used. Let me make this clear: This is not about a contract renegotiation, this is not about money, this is not about something Mr. Patinkin asked for that wasn't provided — in fact, everyone involved in the show has for two years bent over backward to give him anything he wanted.

Mr. Patinkin told the show, the studios and the network that he was returning right up to the day before we started shooting the first episode, and then simply did not show up. He also has not contacted anyone within the show (producers, cast, crew) to explain why he isn't returning. Even to this moment, we have no word from him. He gave us no advance notice that anything was wrong, no oppurtunity to find a way to make the loss of this character work, no indication that we should be looking for someone else, no warning that we might have to rewrite the first seven scripts (which is how far ahead we try to work) without the central character in them. None. Zero. He was not, as some media reports have indicated, written 'lightly' in our first episode; in fact, it was quite the opposite. Because of the construct of the first episode story, he was actually in the center of that episode. He left us completely in the proverbial lurch.

As loyal fans of the show, we think you all deserve an explanation and I wish I had a better one to give you. The most amazing writing staff in television is working very hard to find a way to make this work, and we will find a way to give you the organic, dramatic experience you expect from CM.

If I have new news I will provide it, and if there are questions you have... we will do our best to answer. If you hear a rumor, please ask us. I remain touched and humbled by the support you have all shown the show.

Thank you so much,
Ed Bernero

Posh Spice Really HAS a Personality!

2007-07-16T16:12:00.000-04:00

Although her pictures have been plastered seemingly everywhere, we very rarely actually hear Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) actually speak. Surprisingly enough, she has quite a fun, albeit normal, personality. She has a one-hour special airing tonight on NBC, but if you can't wait, you can check out the below clip of a little visit she had with fellow gossip blogger, Perez Hilton. She made a comment on the Today show last week that she's sure people in America think she's a miserable cow that doesn't smile, but quite the contrary -- now that we get a glimpse into her personality, she's actually quite cute.

Trouble on the Criminal Minds Set?

2007-07-12T19:45:00.000-04:00

I sincerely hope not, since it's one of my favorite crime shows. TV Guide is reporting that actor Mandy Patinkin was written out of the season premiere after failing to show up for work. And coincidentally, or maybe not so much, that the Criminal Minds folks are advertising for an actor fitting the description of his character. Uh oh. Sure hope we don't have another Jorja Fox on our hands.

Rosie Gets a Big, Fat N-O from Price is Right Head Honchos

2007-07-11T17:11:00.000-04:00

Somebody said no to Rosie? Yup. Turns out the CBS head honchos turned her down for the coveted spot of host of The Price is Right.

She told TV Guide recently, "They thought I was too controversial to host the game show. I just wanted to ‘gay it up.’" What changes exactly did she want to make? Per TV Guide, she apparently, "wanted to get rid of Barker’s beauties in favor of a chorus line of Broadway hunks, confetti, musical bumpers and a much-needed set makeover 'so the colors actually match!'" She said that she was disappointed that they passed on her, but is in the process of mulling over offers to start her own daytime talk show again.

In the meantime, don't cry for her. She has already finished a tell-all book on her 10-month stint on The View, and plans to release it on September 18th. Guess when you're out of work, you have nothing but free time to write. "It’s not mean-spirited," O’Donnell says. "It’s just honest."

Nicole Richie Gets Minor Reprieve

2007-07-10T17:05:00.000-04:00

Reality star and possible pregnant party girl Nicole Richie got a bit of a reprieve today when her lawyer filed a motion for yet another delay in her scheduled court hearing, which was due to begin tomorrow.

"The trial will not happen (Wednesday)" said Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. "Richie's attorney filed a motion ... stating that their key witness, a drug expert, was unavailable for trial."

Richie's attorney originally requested the new trial be rescheduled until August 5th, a request which was denied. Both sides are supposed to appear in court tomorrow anyway to debate why there should be a delay in the first place.

Cover Girl: Katharine McPhee

2007-07-10T17:02:00.000-04:00

American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee quickly sheds her good-girl image with her new Stuff magazine cover shot and accompanying interview. Although, after reading the interview, the "bad girl" stuff seems a little forced. No matter, we still think she's a sweetheart.

STUFF: Are you more McNaughty or McNice?
KATHARINE: There are different sides of me. On American Idol, people saw the side that is very professional and put together. But there’s this other side of me that’s outgoing, energetic and wild—and did really stupid things in college.

Please discuss.
This one time we were walking down the street in Boston, and I was wearing this little skirt. There was this grate with air coming from underneath it. I remember standing above the grate with the air blowing up, and I was holding my skirt down. Another time, we went down to Coyote Ugly. We had so much fun dancing on the bar; the girls were taking their bras off. But I didn’t do that.

Your album cover is pretty racy. Did you do it to shock people?
People made a big deal out of that. They said, “She’s a slut, blah blah blah.” But I’m really not showing that much skin. It’s all suggested.

What was the worst thing about being on Idol?
Sometimes we couldn’t go out after midnight, and for a 21–year–old, that’s pretty crazy. And security went everywhere with me. For me, that was like, OK, this is weird. We’re just kids on a reality show!

You had the rare honor of performing with Meat Loaf. What was that like?
I really liked the guy, but no one warned me that he was going to be so energetic. The first time we sang together, he told me, “Just so you know, I like to go full–out.” I said OK, but he was, like, full–on performing it, and I was so caught off guard. All my fellow Idols were sitting in the audience laughing. I looked at him and just started laughing—no disrespect to him.

Have you always been popular with the fellas?
I was prematurely developed. As a freshman, I looked like a junior; I had boobs. Some of the older kids saw me in the yearbook and said I was cute.

So you probably didn’t have a problem finding a guy.
I came from an all–girl school, so I was determined to get a boyfriend!

Your current boyfriend is almost 20 years your senior. Do you usually go for older dudes?
When I turned 21, I thought it was a good age to explore. You’re no longer a teenager, so it’s OK [to date older guys]. I gravitated toward them, and I love them. They’re just wiser, and they’re less about themselves and more about you.

What do younger men need to know about the opposite sex?
Women sometimes act out, and men get frustrated. They don’t get that all we want is, for a few seconds, for you to be all about the girl—to snuggle her and give her kisses and tell her, “Your lips are so pretty today. I love your lips.” For me, with men, I will fixate on something. I’ll say, “I’m obsessed with your chin.” I’ll kiss his chin and munch on it, and I think that makes people feel good.

Do you see yourself settling down?
Oh, yeah. I want to have, like, 15 babies. I’ve always wanted to be pregnant. One year for Halloween, I decided to be pregnant, so I got this nun costume, and I put a big belly under it. I showed my parents and said I want to go to school as a pregnant nun. My dad sat me down and said, “Katharine, you can’t!”

It's Official: Charlie Sheen to Get Hitched

2007-07-10T16:56:00.001-04:00

Former bad boy and ex-husband of actress Denise Richards, Charlie Sheen has popped the question to Brooke Mueller, his girlfriend of one year. She is a real estate investor, and reportedly is now the proud recipient of a engagement ring worth a half-mil.

Charlie and his ex-wife, Denise, share custody of their two daughters, Lola (2) and Sam (3). Denise was the first one to semi-tame Charlie and his bad-boy ways. Let's hope Brooke fares a bit better.

2007-07-09T18:02:00.000-04:00

Our favorite Latina actress/singer/designer/dancer Jennifer Lopez is splashed on the cover of the current issue of Glamour magazine. She sat down to talk the talk on her upcoming movie with hubby Marc Anthony, and those pesky pregnancy rumors.

GLAMOUR: So let’s talk about El Cantante. In one scene you’re dancing with Marc, and the look on your face is so vulnerable—is it easier to let down your guard around someone you’re with in real life?

Jennifer Lopez: Yes. It’s totally different than working with an actor you don’t know, where sometimes you have great chemistry and sometimes you don’t. When Marc and I work together, there’s no barrier or boundary. I think that’s how it is in all good relationships—you feel the most safe there. But on set, we kept it very professional: We bounced ideas off one another and treated each other like any other actor. We even had separate trailers—we gave each other our space.

GLAMOUR: It sounds like you enjoyed working with him.

JL: I think the best partner you can have is someone who makes you want to be the best form of yourself. We do that for each other; that’s why we work well together. We made all these promises to each other in the beginning of the marriage, because both of us have difficult careers to manage with a partner. We don’t have 9-to-5 jobs; our day could be 24 hours long if we let it. So you have to carve out your time and make your agreements: “We are going to travel with each other. If I’m working, you’re not going to work. If we both have to work, we’re going to make sure we keep that to a minimum.”

GLAMOUR: So what drove you to make a small, indie film about a person most audiences may not know about?

JL: Whenever things got hard during filming, I would think, Why am I making this movie? And all I had to do was go back and listen to the music. The rise of salsa was such an important time in musical history, not just in Latin music but music in general, because these guys created a new sound. Even jazz greats like Miles Davis were interested in what these cats were doing. This is the first time I’ve really produced—I worked on Bordertown [2006], too, but this was my baby. I got the script from its inception, went through I don’t know how many directors and took it through five or six years of development. So I’m really proud of it.

GLAMOUR: Has your family seen the film?

JL: They haven’t yet. I’m going to have my entire family, all of my friends, everyone I work with, everyone I love at the premiere. I’m really proud of it.

GLAMOUR: At one point during the film, Hector’s sister chastises your character for not speaking Spanish. I know that once upon a time, you didn’t speak much if any Spanish. Did that hit close to home?

JL: It’s true: I grew up speaking English. My parents moved here when they were very young, and my two grandmothers were the only people in my family who spoke Spanish. It wasn’t until I did Selena [1997] that I started actively trying to learn the language. I realized I was going to have to do interviews in Spanish and didn’t want to be embarrassed. I still can’t say I speak it perfectly, but I speak it much better now.

GLAMOUR: My family’s from Panama, and I grew up in Brooklyn. As a kid, I wanted to be somewhere else, doing something different. The movie brought it all back.

JL: It’s funny, when you’re home, you don’t appreciate all of the things that culture’s about, and when you leave home, all you want are those things that define you and make you who you are.

GLAMOUR: On another note entirely…babies. People are always asking you if you’re pregnant.

JL: I know they are.

GLAMOUR: Does it get on your nerves?

JL: It’s just weird. I try to look at it as that they want something exciting to happen for me so they can put it in the news. Every other week [tabloids] say I’m pregnant, and I keep telling them, “I’m not yet.” I don’t know what else to say.

GLAMOUR: Well, you’ve been married for a while now, and you have mentioned wanting children, so…

JL: People want it to go to the next level? Marc and I just saw the film Children of Men. The message of the movie was if we don’t have children, there’s no hope for the future. And without hope, society just goes to pieces. Maybe that’s what the pregnancy rumors are about—hope for the future.

GLAMOUR: It’s hard to believe that the tabloids are writing about your alleged pregnancies because they believe that babies are the future.

JL: Yeah, maybe it’s not that deep. Maybe it’s more about seeing two people together and wanting to know if it’s real. A lot of the time, having a baby solidifies that [image]—“Oh, this is real, they’re having a child together”—you know what I mean? But I do have four stepchildren—Marc has three children and a stepchild—so my life is very rich with family and children.

GLAMOUR: So that takes the pressure off, because he’s not desperate?

JL: Not desperate, no.

GLAMOUR: I had a friend who had a child from a previous relationship. She got married, and her husband said to her, “I know you have a child, but I want you to have my child.”

JL: [Raises an eyebrow and smiles.] You always want, when you love someone like you said, to have that extension of yourself. It’s interesting. [Smiles again.]

GLAMOUR: OK—your friendship with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Is it true you go on double dates with them?

JL: It’s funny, because when you get married, you do find other couples to hang out with. We have more couple friends than ever. I think that’s because we’re a solid couple ourselves. Marc really hit it off with Tom—they just got close.

GLAMOUR: And you’re also famous for doing karaoke, I hear?

JL: I have, but it’s not a thing. I like singing Alicia Keys’ “Fallin’” and old Lisa Lisa songs. My friend Leah [Remini] and I like to freestyle. We’re both New York girls!

GLAMOUR: You certainly are. Let’s talk about your style choices. Today your outfit is classic Nuyorican: hoop earrings, an armful of bangles and sexy white jeans.

JL: My own style influences have to do with where I grew up, in the Bronx—I was wearing this when I was 12 years old, and I still like to wear bangles and big hoops! I’m also influenced by all the places I’ve traveled since then: I’ve been to Hollywood and great fashion shows and seen the world. Now I have a different perspective, and I mix that up.

Cover Girl: Anne Hathaway on Harper's Bazaar

American Idol Contestant Clay Aiken Involved in Airport Disturbance?

2007-07-09T17:27:00.000-04:00

What is the world coming to? When 2003 American Idol runner-up and all-around-nice-guy Clay Aiken is involved in a reported airport disturbance, we've gotta wonder if it's a full moon. While on his way to the Tulsa International Airport via Continental Airlines this weekend, he got into it with a fellow passenger when he put his foot on her armrest. She shoved it off, and so it goes.

FBI Special Agent Gary Johnson confirmed that there was a dispute between a male passenger and a woman on the flight but refused to name Aiken as the male involved. He went on to say that there was a claim that the woman gave the male passenger a "minor shove" during the argument.

"At that point the flight crew was able to resolve the situation," Johnson said.

Passengers were held until the FBI arrived to conduct interviews. Aiken joked about being beaten up by an airline passenger at a concert following the event.

Katie Couric Slapped Staffer?!

2007-07-09T17:09:00.000-04:00

Yeah, I gotta say, I was as surprised as you to hear the news this morning. The not-so-perky-anymore CBS Evening News host Katie Couric recently sat down with New York Magazine to rehash everything that has happened since she took over the desk job, and what she has learned along the way. The piece is quite revealing, and she is admitting to many mistakes along the way.

In June, she reached her breaking point when news editor Jerry Cipriano used the word "sputum," a word she despises, in a tuberculosis segment. She responded by slapping him "over and over and over again."

"I sort of slapped him around," Couric admits. "I got mad at him and said, 'You can't do this to me. You have to tell me when you're going to use a word like that.' I was aggravated, there's no question about that."

"I have days when I'm like, 'Oh my God, what did I do?' But for some weird reason, they don't happen that often," she says.

"If it turns out [the news] wasn't a perfect fit," she says, "then, you know, I'll do something else that's really exciting and fulfilling for me."

Yikes. Whatever happened to the funloving Katie we all knew and loved?

This picture from Us Weekly shows Jessica Simpson's dramatic weight loss. She now looks skinny but not unhealthy with her 20-pound weight loss.

Us gives credit to celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, who is the author of 5-Factor Diet and Fitness. He also trained Katherine Heigl, Sophia Bush, Mandy Moore, and Vanessa Williams.

I think we girls know the real reason - a break up provides great motivation to get to the gym!

What's Up With Jake and Reese?

2007-06-20T23:09:00.000-04:00

I am a fan of the Reese Witherspoon/Jake Gyllenhaal love connection, mostly because they aren't out flaunting it and trying to get publicity (does Bennifer ring a bell?) So, I was interested in this news from Us Weekly that "Reese Witherspoon had an evening of laughs and libations at L.A.’s La Terza on June 16 with pal Renée Zellweger and six other friends." That's right, no Jakey in sight for her night out.

Us Weekly says that this is further evidence that their relationship has cooled. So every time a girl goes out with her girlfriends that means her relationship is in trouble? I'm not buying it, Us Weekly. You're gonna have to give me more than that before I give up on Reese and Jake.

Apparently they have an anonymous source so says: "She cares for Jake, but the timing is crappy. She doesn’t have enough emotional space for him right now." Still not buying it!!

Is Katie Holmes Really Tall or is Tom Cruise Really Short?

2007-06-18T13:48:00.000-04:00

I think the answer is that Tom Cruise is really short. But I have to hand it to Katie - she's not putting away her high heels just because her husband is ~~crazy~~ vertically challenged.

According to People, this picture was taken after "pal David Beckham's victory, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes join the footballer and his wife Victoria Beckham for a late dinner in Madrid."

How are we feeling about Katie's new haircut? I would probably like it more if it didn't make her look like she was become a Victoria Beckham clone.
