John Corbett and Bo Derek are a Couple – Who Knew?

In a recent interview, John Corbett described how he met his girlfriend of 8 years, Bo Derek.  All I could think was – What?!  I never even knew they were together.  You might remember Bo Derek as the extremely beautiful woman that Dudley Moore’s character was obsessed with in the film ’10.’   A friend set her and Corbett up after Corbett told the friend that he needed  a date for an Oscar party.  I suppose I think this is so odd because I figured Corbett would be with some young up and coming Hollywood actress, that was nipping at his heels for the spotlight [insert George Clooney joke here].  She’s still got it though!   

Jennifer Lopez Recording Session Outtake Leaked

Audio from Jennifer Lopez’s recording session has leaked, and it’s pretty funny. She is covering Barbara Streisand’s song, ‘Enough is Enough,’ and has some trouble getting in key.  It’s nice to see her laugh at herself and be a little self-deprecating.  Listen below.

Slash on Axl Rose: "I Know How Vehemently he Hates me"

Slash stated in a recent interview that he would welcome having a conversation with Axl Rose, but he doubts it would happen because he knows how “vehemently he hates [him].”  He went on to say that he thinks Rose’s comeback record was phenomenal.  Aww….so cute.  Maybe we have a reunion in the works.  After all, Rose’s anger toward Slash costs him the hundreds of millions of dollars that he would earn with a real ‘Guns N’ Roses’ reunion.  It’s time to get the original guys together!!

Judge Throws out Shareholder Lawsuit Against Marvel and Stan Lee

A federal judge dismissed the case against Marvel Entertainment, Inc and Stan Lee.  The issue surrounding the lawsuit began in 1988, when Stan Lee transferred rights to the Marvel characters to Walt Disney Co.  The judge ruled that the shareholders bringing the lawsuit lacked standing to sue, as they acquired their shares in 1999, which is a year after conduct in question occurred.  He also said that the shareholders waited too long to enforce their rights, because they sued more than 10 years after the transfer.   

Olivia Newton-John’s Ex-Boyfriend – FOUND ALIVE!?

I am not sure what to believe.  It’s being reported that Newton-John’s ex-boyfriend, Patrick McDermott, has been found in a Mexican sleeping village and just “wants to be left alone.”  He disappeared amidst financial troubles in 2005, days after he and Newton-John ended their 9 year relationship.  It’s believed that he’s been working as a ship’s mate on a tourist yacht ever since.  If it’s true that he’s been found, ‘Dateline’ will probably get the credit.  They hired a private investigator to track him, who reported finding him not too long ago, but no one, including Newton-John believed it.  I’ll believe it when I see him sitting down with Barbara Walters.

Oprah Talks Animal Sex on Discovery’s ‘Life’

Whenever a show discusses animal sex, I curl up on my couch with a big bowl of popcorn and then spend my entire next day annoying my friend’s with lots of stories about how animals do it.  So it’s fair to say that this new series is right up my alley.  Click on the links below so you too can have a great water cooler discussion.

Emma Thompson Auditioned for Sharon Stone’s Role in ‘Basic Instinct’

This surprised me.  Apparently, Emma Thompson lost the lead role in ‘Basic Instinct’ to Sharon Stone.  I just can’t picture Thompson sexing it up as Catherine Tramell.  The film catapulted Sharon Stone into a Box Office star, and went on to gross $117 million (which is a very big deal in 1992).  I also heard rumors that Meg Ryan was offered the lead role, but turned it down because she didn’t want to do the sex scenes.  Meg Ryan has yet to confirm that though.

Courtney Cox Refused to use a Body Double on ‘Cougar Town’

Courtney Cox admits that she refused to use a body double on her new show ‘Courgar Town,’ because wanted to “show the real side of 40.”  Ummm…..what?  Does Courtney Cox represent the real side of anything?  Her body is incredible and looks better than most 20 year olds.  I find it funny that she acts like showing herself in a bra and underwear was a huge sacrifice.
