Image via WikipediaThe Baltimore Celebrity Examiner (huh?), had some of the following items:
Tom Cruise and Matt Lauer have a public love fest. Aw, did anyone really believe Tom had it in for Lauer after that self-deprecating monologue at the Friars Club Roast? BTW, I predict his uncredited Tropic Thunder role will bring Cruise an Academy Award nod for best supporting actor and, yes, he will walk away with the Golden Globe. You heard it here first.
Caught this on the local WBAL radio morning show. Could Jennifer Aniston’s Act Two with John Mayer be more about red carpet rivalry than “what I did for love?” Perhaps. But I doubt it. No woman takes a player like that to meet her father unless she truly has designs on him.
Pre-publicity buzz for the new American Idol season (has it really been eight years … no wonder I’m beginning to think of the show as last year’s outfit stuffed in the back of my closet) includes Paula Abdul attacking producers for allowing obsessed fan Paula Goodspeed to audition. Goodspeed was found dead of an apparent suicide outside Abdul’s apartment. Other format shake-ups include the addition of Kara DioGuardi as fourth judge, a Top 36 semi-finalist segment, and Hollywood week in actual Hollywood.
Can’t help but be skeptical over Sir Paul’s claim of politicizing The Beatles. Having lived through that era, I can attest to Paul McCartney’s image as “the cute Beatle” and John Lennon as “political rabble rouser,” but with two of the four gone and Yoko Ono’s much later addition, this large swath of canvas is wide open to interpretation.
Memorabilia of the biggest celebrity of 2008 hits D.C. stores and I’m not talking Will Smith.
Grey’s Anatomy fans now have more dirt to dish about T.R. Knight’s departure from the show. This smells like Knight’s publicist working overtime at better spin. If you ask me, I’d say there’s too much “diva derivative” in the casts’ drinking water.
NY Daily News is playing roulette with Page Six. I, for one, will miss the daily missives of Rush and Malloy. Now relegated to a weekly Sunday feature, The Gatecrasher takes over as celebrity basher extraordinaire. Jury still out, but I’m putting this questionable strategic positioning on the “we shall see” pile.
All over the news I’m seeing reports of abandoned pets. The connection to celebrity gossip is tenuous at best, but had to scratch this champion of defenseless animals itch. Have a heart, people. Make haste to thy nearest shelter.
No sympathy whatsoever for Keanu Reeves. His new movie gets a dis at USA Today and boo-hoo, being a celebrity is such a drag. Sing it in the key of E, surfer boy. Maybe a wayward violin player will take up the cause.
Secret Page Six Facebook page announces reported engagement of Gossip Girls hottie Leighton Meester and boyfriend Sebastian Stan. These blind items are too delicious to ignore, yet unfortunately offer very little in the way of real sustenance.
