The greatest piece of news that came out of Britney Spears singing Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone,’ is that Larry Rudolph is still managing Spears’ career. In an interview with music producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Darkchild insisted that he didn’t leak the track, as he would “never leak something without Britney Spears approval, without Larry Rudolph, without Jive Records.” Larry Rudolph managed Britney Spears when she originally shot to fame with ‘Baby One More Time,’ and she fired him shortly after marrying Kevin Federline. She brought him back to resurrect her career after her breakdown. I haven’t heard much about him since, and I was concerned that she sacked him and the press never got wind. I am happy to report that my speculation was amiss. Listen to the Britney version of ‘Telephone’ below.

Russell Crowe Storms Out of BBC Radio Interview – Listen to the Audio
Russell Crowe is back to his old tricks. In an interview to promote ‘Robin Hood,’ Crowe angrily walked-out after the interviewer suggested that his accent in the film sounded Irish instead of the intended Northern English accent. Apparently, this isn’t the first time someone has suggested that, and Crowe became irate. Shocker. You would think that Russell Crowe would have undergone some serious anger management counseling after the phone throwing incident almost ruined his career. Listen to the interview below.
Ed Norton Wants to Appear in ‘The Avengers’ – What a Hypocrite!
Ed Norton must be the world class king of hypocrisy. When asked if he would appear in the upcoming superhero showdown film, ‘The Avengers,’ he said that the fans need to tell Marvel that they want him in it. Have we all forgotten how Ed Norton shunned promotion of ‘The Hulk,’ which I think is a large reason that the film under-performed at the Box Office? Norton reportedly wanted access to the editing room, and Marvel wouldn’t allow it. When Marvel released its version of the film without Norton’s input, he acted like a pouty little 5th grader and refused to do the talk show circuit. Gee, any idea why he is now willing to do such a big budget movie?
‘Private Practice’ Spoiler – Shonda Rimes Discusses Why She Killed a Main Character Off
Mike Ausiello sat down with Shonda Rimes to discuss why she killed Chris Lowell/Dell off the show. She said it was a difficult choice to make, but it was a “mutual decision,” based on the fact that it just wasn’t fair to have such a good actor on the show just to “hand out charts.” First of all, I highly doubt the decision was mutual. What actor would willingly leave a show that pays him a large sum of money, because his character isn’t going anywhere (oops – I forgot about T.R. Knight. I’m sensing a pattern)? Second, was it necessary to kill him off in such a horrible way, leaving a young, orphaned daughter? This is classic Shonda Rimes. She takes a great, fun show, and when the writing gets stale, she writes in some bombs, murders, and car crashes. Go back and watch the first season of ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ It was a fantastic show that didn’t make you want to cry and jump off a cliff by the end of each episode. Plus, I liked Dell.
Grey’s Anatomy Season Finale Spoiler: Who Dies?
Robert Downey Jr. Tells Howard Stern That His Penis is of “Average Size”
Robert Downey Jr. had a hilarious interview on Howard Stern today in which he answered questions about everything under the sun, including: his sex life with Susan Downey; his take on Don Cheadle replacing Terrance Howard in the ‘Iron Man’ sequel, his therapy sessions, and whether he is currently sane. Downey did not disappoint. He was a great sport, and my favorite part was when Stern told him that he heard about his gigantic penis, and Downey humbly deemed himself “average.” I think he was just trying to make Stern feel better about Stern’s tiny penis. So sweet of him.
Sex and the City 2 Cast Interview With Entertainment Weekly – Read the Highlights
I’d recommend getting the entire interview because they discuss the history of the show. But read the highlights below.
Sarah Jessica Parker on her favorite scene
“[I]t’s the “up the butt” one. If I had to pick one scene that people are like, “That’s what that show is!” in the worst possible way, it’s that one. But in the best way, too.”
Kristin Davis on her first day with Sarah Jessica Parker
“Sarah Jessica had this big thing of Krispy Kreme doughnuts,a nd she invited me to her trailer. She said, “Let’s hang out and get to know each other.” We had 18 hour days, so we bonded pretty quickly. The most famous person on the set, you take their lead.”
David Eigenberg (Steve) on auditioning for the show
“I remember having to fake an orgasm in their office once. That was awful.”
Jason Lewis (Smith) on his first day with the show
“I was nervous as hell . . . . I was supposed to be objectified by 30 or 40 women. It was like a kid going to his first day at a new school . . . and I realized I didn’t know a single soul. And then Kristin Davis came by and swooped me up.”
Chris Noth (Big) on the show in general
“it was just fucking funny in a way that’s irreverent, in a way that TV never was before.”
Spoilers on Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl, and Private Practice
On Grey’s Anatomy, Mark is evidently going to try and get Lexie back. Does this mean that we’ll never see that awful blonde hair on the show again? Shonda Rimes tells TV Guide that “there is a very surprising, very lovely moment coming where Mark takes a stand and makes a play for Lexie.”
Gossip Girl fans can either rejoice or get angry. Billy Baldwin will return to the show to stir up trouble. Because the show films in New York and he lives in Los Angeles, his appearances will be scattered.
Does Maya die on Private Practice? Apparently not. Someone will though. Keep the guesses coming and watch the promo below for a hint.
The Dish – Tabloid Review
Mel Gibson denies that he cheated on Oksana Grigorieva with porn star Violet Kowal while Grigorieva was pregnant. Grigorieva has yet to confirm the reports, but she originally told the press that they split “suddenly and recently,” and the “truth will come out.” Gibson is such a stand up guy, I can’t possibly believe he’d be a cheater.
Anne Hathaway’s new boyfriend Adam Shulman, is being accused of theft. He allegedly walked off with a mural painted by street artist Mr. Brainwash. The mural was on a building in Manhattan’s Meatpacking district. If this story is true, she sure knows how to pick them.
Larry King and his wife Shawn King have reconciled. To quote the great Howard Stern, “why get half of Larry’s money when you could have all of it.”
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt may not film the series finale of ‘The Hills.’ I suppose if you want to stay on a television show, you should refrain from accusing the Executive Producer of sexual harassment.
Britney Spears and her boyfriend/manager Jason Trawick have “split professionally.” They are officially no longer mixing business with pleasure. He’s just her boyfriend now.
Former Bachelorette Jen Schefft is pregnant. Love really does exist outside of television.
Matt Lauer and his wife, Annette Roque, have split amidst reports that he cheated. Lauer reminds me of that dorky kid in high school that never got the girl and now that he’s famous he wants as much pussy as humanly possible.
