It looks like we can expect the new season of ‘Jersey Shore’ to deliver the drama. In a repeat of Season 1, Angelina has left the house. Apparently, the entire cast hates her and doesn’t understand why she was invited back for the second season. This might be the reason for her exit. I guess we’ll have to wait to find out.
Gossip Girl Executive Producer Confirms Taylor Momsen Was Crying Real Tears
Gossip Girl Executive Producer Stephanie Savage sat down with Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly to discuss the shocking season finale. When asked if it was Taylor Momsen’s tears or Jenny Humphrey’s, Savage confirmed that it was Momsen’s real tears. “That’s what it really looks like if a girl with raccoon eyes cries that much,” she said. “There was nothing we could do.” She also confirmed that Momsen would return to the show at some unspecified point. Ausiello didn’t ask the one plaguing question though: was it a creative or personal decision to write Jenny Humphrey off the show? I’m guessing that they kicked her out to give her some time to get her life together, as she looks extremely emaciated and out of it on the show lately. I could be wrong though. I’ve attached an older picture of Taylor Momsen so you can get a feel for the “before and after” I keep referencing.

Jimmy Kimmel Throws Howard Stern an A-List Party – Hilarity Ensues
Howard Stern spent the weekend in Los Angeles while promoting his wife’s book (‘Oh My Dog’), and Jimmy Kimmel decided to throw him a welcome party. Kimmel appeared on Stern today to discuss the party, and it was some of Stern’s most hilarious radio yet. My favorite detail involved an argument between John Stamos and Mark McGrath, where Stamos got angry with “musician” McGrath for his inability to play any songs for their shitty house band ensemble. Stern insists that Stamos’ anger was unfounded, because at least everyone could play the song ‘Louie Louie’. Stamos also gave both Kimmel and Stern shit for not inviting Don Rickles, who was peeved at both Kimmel and Stern for the oversight. Oh yeah – Jeff Probst left in a tizzy because of Stern’s inappropriate attempt to interview him about his new girlfriend at the party. Other celebrity guests included: Ben Stiller; Christine Taylor; Natalie Maines; Ryan Phillipe; Will Arnett; Amy Poehler; Christa Miller; Bill Lawrence; Bob Iger; Ashton Kutcher; and Demi Moore. I’ve got to become friends with Jimmy Kimmel in time for the next Howard Stern party. Knowing Stern though, he probably won’t return to Los Angeles for another 15 years. Watch Beth Stern promote her book on Kimmel below.
Brett Ratner Insists ‘X-Men 3’ Was a Good Movie
Let me start this post by explaining that I am deliberately picking on Brett Ratner because I have it on VERY good authority that he is the biggest douchebag on the planet. That being said, in an interview with Iesb to promote his remix of ‘Kites’, Ratner was asked if he’d change anything about ‘X-Men 3’ if he had it to do over. His response? “No. I loved it! I’m right, and they’re wrong.” Wow, so he’s now a dumb douchebag? ‘X-Men 3’ was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, and he single handedly tanked the entire franchise. I’m glad he learns from his mistakes.
Christina Aguilera on Lady Gaga: "I like her – I Really, Really Promise I Do"
Christina Aguilera has once again found herself in the midst of a Lady Gaga scandal. She took to her website to refute what she deems an imaginary “feud.” First of all, I enjoy Aguilera’s doe-eyed innocence in this matter. She’s like a little baby bird that was dragged into a giant mess and has no idea how she got there. Should we forget all about the nasty comments that Aguilera made about Gaga in the past? She once said, “I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman.” She perpetuated the feud recently when she referred to Gaga as a “newcomer” to OUT magazine (which is why she was forced to apologize on her website). I think Aguilera can’t take the heat of the press, and the anger forces her to get nasty. She once referred to Britney Spears as a “lost little girl.” Here’s my message to Aguilera’s PR team: if you are going to apologize – actually apologize. Don’t blame the media and the public for this feud. You made some disgusting comments and now it’s time to own up. Read her “apology” below.
Here’s her quote:
I would like to take a moment to clarify something that has been brought to my attention this morning. It is very easy for comments to be taken out of context and create unnecessary drama-especially between us women. So I would like to tell you all directly so my words can not be misconstrued to sell someone else’s story…I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that. There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods.This is not the first time I have been unfairly pitted against another female artist but it will be the last time I comment on the matter.
“Can’t hold us down….”
With love,

Entertainment News Dish – In Review
Vanessa Williams will appear on Desperate Housewives to allegedly fill the vixen void of Nicollette Sheridan. Though the details are limited, she will have some relationship with Mark Moses/”Paul”.
Jessica Biel will appear on Broadway in the musical adaptation of Pedro Almodovar’s film, ‘Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.’ Biel has always had musical aspirations; she appeared in ‘Guy’s and Dolls’ at the Hollywood Bowl last summer. You might remember Perez Hilton poking fun at her singing ability on his blog.
Charlie Sheen is returning to Two and a Half Men, despite the many press releases otherwise, and his endless insistence that those press leaks were not a “negotiating ploy.” He thanks Les Moonves for his support along with the announcement. By “support,” I am sure he means the oodles and oodles of money that they are paying him.
Bret Michaels will appear in VH1’s new docu-series, ‘Life as I know it.’ The series will follow Bret’s off-stage life, including his children and his Baby Momma, Kristi Gibson. I find it interesting that the press release reveals that Bret lives with Kristi. Am I to believe that Rock of Love was a giant sham!? It simply cannot be.
Bret Michaels on Oprah – Watch a Clip
Bret Michaels gave Oprah his first interview since his brain hemorrhage. This brain hemorrhage horror reminds me of Cuba Gooding Jr.’s character in Jerry Maguire when he got the football injury. Michaels was famous enough for the entire world to root for him, and now that he’s okay, this will catapult him into super-stardom. Trump is already milking this for all it’s worth, with various press announcements about Bret’s attendance on the live ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ finale. I think it’s fair to say that Bret will win. Watch the Oprah clip below.
The Cast of Armageddon Introduce the Film
I had the honor of attending a screening of Armageddon tonight, with Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thorton, Michael Clarke Duncan, and William Fichtner introducing the film. The screening was a tribute producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who is now promoting Prince of Persia. Aside from the many flattering stories the actors told about working with Bruckheimer, the most important part is that they all look fantastic in person. Billy Bob Thorton did make a very funny joke about how Bruce Willis was the most famous star of the film . . . at that time. Willis took the hit in stride. There was no question or comments, but if I could have said something, I probably would have told Fichtner that ‘Go’ is one of the best movies of all time. See a picture from the event below.
