Anna Kournikova Got Into a Fight. Haha.

In the midst of all the tragic death that's surrounded the celebrity world lately, we needed something funny. And we got it.

According to People magazine, former tennis pro Anna Kournikova got into a fight inside Lavo Nightclub in Las Vegas Saturday night after another woman at the club threw a drink on her. Anna ended up with cuts on her neck after getting into a shoving match.

Haha -- this is hilarious stuff. We can just picture it now. Read the full story here.

We're On To You

It is widely suggested that deaths always come in threes. While this has never been scientifically proven, it seems to happen more often than not.

Most of the time.

After Michael Jackson's shocking death, it was said that he completed the celebrity death trio also consisting of Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett. But then, celebrity pitchman Billy Mays died. Then a lot of people thought that actor David Carradine was actually the first celebrity to go and that McMahon and Fawcett completed that trio. The question is... where does that leave us now? With five shocking celebrity deaths in a period of only days or weeks from each other, should we be expecting a sixth to complete two groups of three? Or is there a celebrity serial killer on the loose?

Our vote is for celebrity serial killer. It would explain the strange circumstances some of these celebs have died under. Sure, one could say Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon were very sick to begin with. But both took a surprising turn for the worse in recent weeks and we can't help but blame Jack the Celebrity Ripper. We can picture him sneaking into the hospital, switching out medication and being dastardly.

As to the other unfortunate deaths this month, there's A LOT of speculation going on as to why these gentlemen died. David Carradine was found strangled in his hotel closet. Was it a sexual escapade gone awry or the result of a more sinister encounter? Michael Jackson's autopsy which concluded death by prescription drugs turned out to be a hoax so could he have been given an overdose by Celeb Bundy? And Billy Mays dying at his home in the dead of night? Foul play for sure. But don't worry, we're on the case and hope to solve The Mystery of the Celebs Dropping Like Flies before the second trifecta is complete. We're on to you, Hollywood Homicider. Your days are numbered with Robey and Lafferre searching for clues.

On a lighter note, we've discovered some interesting trivia about the late celebs. May they all RIP.

David Carradine - Early in the decade, he was a spokesperson for Lipton ("This ain't no sippin' tea") in a memorable TV ad where he paid homage not only to Kung Fu but also The Three Stooges.

Ed McMahon - He put himself through college as a pitchman for vegetable slicers on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.

Farrah Fawcett - She earned far more in royalties from poster sales than from her salary for appearing in Charlie's Angels.

Michael Jackson - In 1984, a U.S. library accused Jackson of owing it over $1 million in overdue book fines. Officials said they would scrap the fines if he returned the books autographed.

Billy Mays - He played football at West Virginia University. (Let's Go Mountaineers!)

The Old King is Dead, Long Live the King

We have posted 21 times in the month of June. Remarkably, 11 of those posts have been written just this week, June 23-26. As we wrote yesterday, Never let us complain about a slump in celeb news again. This week has provided us with enough blog posts for the rest of the year. We stand behind that statement.

Between the deaths of Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon and Michael Jackson; the divorce of Jon and Kate Gosselin; Daryl Hannah being arrested in West Virginia; Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick having twin girls;the babies being expected by Camilla Alves, Gisele Bundchen and Julie Reyes; Anna's friend Allison having a major celeb sighting; and the new features on our website, we have had more than enough to cover.

In lieu of a normal Celebrity News Roundup today, we've decided to share a few of our favorite Michael Jackson songs, memories and miscellaneous thoughts. We don't mean to canonize the guy -- he did have his faults, that's for sure -- but he's a celebrity and this is celebrity news.

KATIE

I'll admit, I've made a lot of fun of MJ over the years. His plastic surgeries and eccentric behavior made it easy. I mean he dangled his son off a balcony and was accused of molesting children. But he also gave us a plethora of hit songs and dance moves like my personal favorite, The Moonwalk. I mean really, how cool is that move? People have tried to replicate it for YEARS. Nobody quite does it like Michael.

Some of my favorite tunes to jam to are MJ classics like "Thriller," "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "ABC". And of course, who could forget the amazingness that was "Will You Be There" AKA the Free Willy song. One of my favorite moments in college was walking into a friend's dorm room and finding him rocking out to the Free Willy song. Apparently it was the only song he would listen to during study breaks. His roommate was not amused.

I sadly never saw Michael in concert, but while listening to the radio earlier today there were a lot of callers who had been and one lady who even caught Michael's glove! Oh the one-glove look and the crotch grab. After a few too many beers and 1 pair of gloves for 2 people, my friend Tiffany and I may have recreated that. And there may be photographic evidence.

ANNA

One of my favorite childhood memories is being at my grandparents' house one summer and a couple of my cousins were there too. This was the summer we had discovered the Thriller album. Although it was probably at least a decade after the album came out, we definitely rocked out to the cassette tape! Good times.

My favorite MJ song is Smooth Criminal. This has mostly to do with the fact that my name (Annie) is featured prominently in the song. That, and it's a good jam. Of course, I also love the classics Thriller and Billie Jean, a few lesser-knowns like Give In to Me and Dirty Diana and some Jackson 5 numbers like ABC and I Want You Back. Oh, and I will add that in the past month I had rediscovered Will You be There (from the movie Free Willy) and had been listening to it a lot on my iPod.

Several years ago I saw Michael perform on TV. I can't remember a lot of the details -- I think a couple of his brothers performed also and I remember the show being a big deal -- who knows, I might have been watching a re-run of an older special. Clearly, the details are fuzzy. What I do remember is there was a point where Michael was onstage, but it was dark. You knew he was there... the anticipation was building. Then, he snapped his fingers and all the stage lights came on. This impacted my life enough that on my List of Things To Do Before I Die (yes, I have one) I wrote "Snap and have all the lights come on like Michael Jackson." Still waiting to cross that one off the list.

Clearly, no one can dance like Michael Jackson. Few have tried (Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown) but have they really been able to master the awesomeness that was Michael's talent? The Moonwalk? The Thriller choreography? I know few people in this world who don't have an interest in learning the choreography to that dance. In fact, not too long ago I was thinking that a fun idea for a wedding reception (maybe I shouldn't be giving this away) is having someone come and teach a cool dance -- like Thriller -- during the reception. Then everyone could dance together! I don't know... maybe it's the dancer in me who adores learning choreography and performing, but I think it would be a blast!

There's been a lot that's happened since MJ's death. You can take the "Which Michael Jackson Song are You?" quiz on Facebook (we're not kidding) and we read that fans were so distraught that "With the Bruno premiere taking place near Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, fans couldn't pay tribute to the singer at his actual star. Instead, they gathered near the star of another Michael Jackson – a radio personality." (Wow.) And we're sure there's a lot more ahead -- everything from autopsy reports to a custody battle over his kids. We see this approaching Princess Di levels.

Soon, though, we know that this, too, shall pass. Just like everything else does. And when we get older we'll be sitting around and someone will say "Do you remember when Michael Jackson died?" And we'll say "Oh yeah..."

Prophetic Words Indeed

As more and more information comes out about the death of pop icon Michael Jackson, the sadder and sadder the story gets.

People spoke with a fan of MJ's who got the chance to attend a rehearsal for the King of Pop's upcoming tour. After she watched the legend perform, she wrote an email to other Jackson fans saying, "He is a skeleton. I have to say: He may die."

Prophetic words indeed.

Friends of the singer are beginning to make statements to the press that they sensed the singer was not well. Filmmaker Bryan Michael Stoller said, "I hugged him and it was like hugging bones. After seeing him, I never thought he would complete the tour." Close friend Dr. Firpo Carr also told People, "I sensed something was wrong and, quite honestly, I wasn't terribly surprised when I got the news. I would get word from people in his camp that things weren't quite right."

An autopsy will be performed with some preliminary information being released as early as today. Anna's friend Colleen mentioned yesterday that after hearing the news, she personally concluded that MJ had a prescription drug problem. It appears as though that is spot-on, as MJ's lawyer Brian Oxman said today, "If you think that the case of Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, it is nothing in comparison to what we have seen in Michael Jackson's life."

Stay tuned...

UPDATE: Reports are now coming out that Michael's dependency on drugs and alcohol was widely known by his family.

A source close to the Jackson family told People, "The family believes Michael is addicted. There was an intervention in Las Vegas. Janet was on the phone, but Randy, Jackie and Rebbie were there in person."

Another source close to the singer told People that he blamed a Jackson assistant for supplying Michael with prescription drugs from multiple doctors, "[The aide] has contacts wherever they are," said the source. In addition to consuming alcohol, Jackson takes "straight morphine, Demerol and opiates like Oxycontin. He also takes Valium and Xanax."

"Michael is a clinically functioning addict and these are the most dangerous. They stop and start. These are the ones that OD ... It could happen any minute."

Major Reader Celebrity Sighting!

Followers of Stargazing know that we are always excited to hear stories of our friends' and readers' celebrity encounters.

Imagine how excited Anna was when she got a text from her good friend Allison, who was in Chicago, saying "Vince Vaughn is sitting about 8 rows in front of me here at Wrigley Field."

!!!

When Allison got back and told Anna the story in person, it got even better. We asked Allison to give it to us in her own words, and she did! Read below, this is great:

So, I went to the Cubs game last Saturday and get these great seats in the section right behind home plate. The couple sitting behind us, Julie and Zack, start pointing out to us all the players wives and families, and suddenly, Julie spots Vince Vaughn about 10 rows in front of us. He was sitting with another guy, but chatting with someone 2 seats away for almost the whole game. In the 7th inning when the band came out to play everyone stood up and turned around... low and behold, the someone sitting two seats away was none other than Entourage's Ari Gold... Jeremy Piven. I paparazzi'ed the crap out of Vince Vaughn, but was only able to get one good shot. Anyway, during the 8th inning Piven gets up with his buddy and they walk up the aisle to leave (the walked about 2 feet from me - it was awesome). Meanwhile, there are two somewhat attractive looking girls sitting across the aisle and one row down from me who look more like they were ready to walk a runway than watch a baseball game. Both were clearly the girlfriends/fiances of players. Well, Piven's little friend happens to notices these two women (sticking out like sore thumbs in their Sundays best at Wrigley Field) and so Piven and his friend take about 5 minutes to discuss/stare/check out these two girls. They suddenly come back, and approach the two girls - and now I am hard of hearing, but I am told - they invite these two girls out to whichever bar (or bathroom where they are going to do some blow) later. The girls both respond with "No thanks, We're good". So Piven and Friend retreat, probably to go find a sushi bar or something... and the girls actually had to be told who was just hitting on them - they didnt even know who he was! Vince Vaughn stayed the entire game, cheered like a fan, and actually seemed (from the 10 rows back) like from the looks of things a pretty down to earth guy. I would have LOVED to be seated a row in front and hear what he and Piven had been talking about all game. Oh, to be a fly on the wall....

Thanks Allison! We're so excited for you!

More Breaking News: Michael Jackson Dies!

Never let us complain about a slump in celeb news again. This week has provided us with enough blog posts for the rest of the year.

As if Farrah Fawcett passing away wasn't a sad enough Thursday for everyone, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson died this afternoon in LA.

Reports were varied at first, but soon it became clear that he had succumbed to a heart attack. MJ was rushed to the hospital from his LA home after collapsing and was not breathing. The doctors were unable to revive him and he was pronounced dead at 2:26 PM.

He was 50 years young and leaves behind three kids. RIP.

We're gonna go put on some "Thriller" and "Beat It" and drink to his name. Maybe pour a little champagne on the rug, Flava Flav style.

Breaking News: Farrah Fawcett Dies of Cancer

After a long battle with anal cancer, Farrah Fawcett sadly finally succumbed to the disease. She was 62.

Our condolences to her family and friends.

You don't have to thank us! :)

You Know You're Celeb Obsessed When...

We are always looking for ways to make this blog new and fresh. We like to think of new features to add (like the Quote of the Week section) and rack our brains for unique updates our readers can count on (such as every Friday's Celebrity News Roundup).

We recently thought of something new we think will be fun to do from time to time. We're calling it You Know You're Celeb Obsessed When... and hope to feature stories of celeb obsession from ourselves and our readers, as well as warning signs for this very real disorder.

The first edition of You Know You're Celeb Obsessed When... comes from Stargazing's co-founder and co-editor, Anna:

This past Monday the media was all a-buzz with what Jon and Kate's "life changing announcement" would be. When I got home from work Monday, I looked at People.com and saw they were running a breaking news story that Jon and Kate were going to announce their divorce on Monday night's show. Right after I read this, my aunt (my mom's sister) called and said, "Anna! I heard the news!" And I was like "OMG, I know right? Jon and Kate? Can you believe it?" And my aunt said, "Um, I was talking about that very scary Metro crash that happened just a few minutes ago in DC and I wanted to make sure you were alright." Oh.

After finding out I was okay, my aunt went on to tell me that my great uncle had passed away. We recently had another death in my family, so although I didn't know the guy that well, it was sad, as most deaths are.

After I wrapped up my conversation with my aunt, I called my mom. "MOM!," I said, "Did you hear about Jon and Kate?!?" My mom hadn't heard, so I spent the next ten or so minutes discussing it with her. Right after my mom told me she had to go, I remembered the other news, "Oh, mom, wait... did you hear Uncle Junior died?" Apparently my mom had NOT heard the news. Mom's reaction? "I'm really glad you called to tell me about Jon and Kate first then remembered to tell me my uncle died."

You know you're celeb obsessed when...

We Love Stuff Like This!

We have to take a moment to tell you that we LOVE this story!

A young girl who is a big fan of Shia LeBeouf got a chance to meet her celebrity crush on the Today Show this morning.

Samantha, 23, was outside the studio chatting with host Matt Lauer about her love of Shia and Meredith Vieira told Shia he had an ardent admirer outside. Shia replied, "I like Samantha a lot. She seems like a real special person. I would love to meet her – is she here?"

The Today Show brought Samantha inside where she chatted with Shia about what kind of girl he is interested in. After telling her he does not have a girlfriend, he asked her, "What are you doing the rest of the day? My day is boring."

We LOVE stuff like this! How exciting for Samantha!

Check out the video below. (Around the 5:00 mark.) It just makes us smile!

Just Call Us Cupid

There are very few celebrities we are willing to say we LOVE. There are some we like, some we don't mind and certainly some we hate, but committing ourselves to loving a celebrity is a very long process. The list is short and comprised of names like Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristen Bell, John Krasinski and Ryan Gosling. We don't just love any old person who finds their way on to the cover of Us Weekly. Know what we're saying?

Knowing this, today is a big day as we're willing to add a new name to the celebs we love list: Bradley Cooper.

He's proven himself to us after appearing in numerous heartwarming and hilarious movies such as Wedding Crashers, Failure to Launch, He's Just Not That Into You and, now, The Hangover, which may honestly be funnier than Old School. Maybe -- jury's still out on that one.

We're happy that Bradley is finally getting some well deserved spotlight. And we were tickled pink that he was interviewed by People recently. His responses just made us love him more. Take a peek:

Here are five things you need to know about the rising star:

1. He likes a down-to-earth woman: The actor recently took Jennifer Aniston on a late-night date, has been previously linked to Cameron Diaz and was briefly married to actress Jennifer Esposito. As for what quality he looks for in a partner, he has said: "Give me an authentic woman, and I'm happy."

2. He has two rescue dogs: "I have two beautiful dogs that I cherish. Samson is a 14-year-old German short hair pointer and Charlotte is a 6 or 7 year-old Chow Retriever mix. They are both rescue dogs and they are the best ... I'm sort of a hybrid of both my dogs. Samson is stoic and makes me earn it and Charlotte loves me undyingly. They're my kids."

3. He graduated from Georgetown University: "I loved the college experience of studying. I was very grateful to be there … I applied out of high school and I didn't get in, and then I applied as a transfer and got in," says the actor who graduated from the school's honors English program in 1997. "I felt honored to be there, so I worked my ass off. The whole time I was there I thought I wasn't smart enough so I felt like I had to."

4. He is fluent in French: "When I was a kid, I remember watching Chariots of Fire. And French is the official language of the Olympics. So there's a scene where a guy was speaking French and I thought, 'Man, that sounds so cool. I want to learn French.' "

5. He's a master in the kitchen: "I seriously love to cook ... My grandmother was an amazing cook. As a kid I used to help her make handmade pasta, Cavatelli and Ravioli. It was one of my favorite things to do. I love the idea of making whatever is in the fridge into something."

He went to Georgetown in our fair city of DC, loves dogs, speaks French and can cook! What a man. It's love, twuuue love.

Also, we couldn't be more excited that he's dating actress Jennifer Aniston. (Who is on the LIKE list, not quite the LOVE list.) However, we feel forced to remind the world (and gloat) about the fact we suggested they date a YEAR ago. In our post, "SWF, 30, Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places" (July 17, 2008) we listed a series of male celebs we thought would be perfect for Jen. (No, John Mayer was not on that list.) We wrote:

She's used to having men fall all over her as Rachel on Friends,but in real life, Jennifer Aniston has had a much harder time finding love. After her marriage to Brad Pitt ended (you may have heard about their divorce) she dated a string of guys, most notably Vince Vaughn. But sadly, Jen has not seemed to be able to find lasting love in her life. And we feel kind of bad about that. Although we love Brangelina now, we're still totally Team Aniston when asked. She's a beautiful girl and a great actress, but, like the rest of us who are smart with great jobs, she hasn't been able to find that love of her life to finish it off.

Jennifer has most recently been linked to John Mayer, and frankly, we've had about enough. We're not sure what's possessing her to date the man who's known as the Player of the Year in Hollywood, but we just totally don't see them together. What the crap is she doing? And then we realized, Jennifer Aniston needs a matchmaker -- one that knows a lot of information about a lot of people in Hollywood. Namely, us! We like her a lot, and we feel bad for her. So, Jen, the following is our matchmaking list for you ... here are the men we think you should date. Get your assistant on the phone -- we're gonna need to arrange some dates...

Man #2 on that list was Bradley Cooper! We wrote,

Bradley Cooper - He was hilarious in Wedding Crashers and even better in Failure to Launch. Although he's 33 to Jen's 39, we think he's funny and a laid-back guy. We're pretty sure they'd be great together. Like Jen, Bradley has also been through a divorce (to actress Jennifer Esposito), so we're sure neither have any disillusions about marriage. Don't you see it?

If they get married, we are the best blogger/matchmakers of all time! And then we'll start our own matchmaking business in LA. Like Millionaire Matchmaker but better and less against curly hair. Just call us Cupid. Of course we'll be sure to match ourselves with John Krasinski and Ryan Gosling because we deserve it.

Country Roads, Take Me Home

Anna's home state, West Virginia, made major national news today! Actress Daryl Hannah and several others were arrested during a mountaintop removal protest. They were arrested in Raleigh County (great time to brush up on your WV geography!) on the charges of obstruction and impeding traffic.

May we just say that West Virginia made the NUMBER TWO spot on the E! News ticker... right after the announcement of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's twins. West Virginia also made TMZ! (And a whole bunch of other non-celeb news sources like the New York Times and Washington Post.) Score one for home!

The Happy and the Not-So-Happy

Births and deaths and divorces, oh my!

These major life events have all happened multiple times recently in the celebrity news world. First up, the happy:

Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick welcomed twin girls yesterday. Named Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick, the girls weighed in at 6 lbs. and 5 lbs. 11 oz. respectively. The couple said in a statement, "The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon." They go on to say, "Both Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker's side." Needless to say (as we've said countless times before) SJP is one of our all-time favorite celebrities (especially Anna's) so congratulations to the whole family! Can you imagine the clothes and shoes those girls are going to get? So jealous.

Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves are expecting baby #2! The couple announced Sunday, "We have more blessed news to celebrate this Father's Day that [will] make this time next year double the fun. Levi is going to be a big brother... Yeah, we pulled off the greatest miracle in the world one more time, Camila and I are expecting our second child, bringing more life into the world, making more to live for. The future looks bright as the family grows."

And if those weren't enough babies for you, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady, Scrubs's Julie Reyes and 24's D.B. Woodside all announced they are expecting babies this week!

Now for the not-so-happy:

As expected, Jon and Kate Plus 8's Jon and Kate Gosselin announced on last night's episode that they are divorcing. After months of public marital troubles, Kate announced, "Over the course of this weekend, Jon's activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children," Kate said in a statement Monday night. "While there are reasons why it was appropriate and necessary for me to initiate this proceeding, I do not wish to discuss those reasons at this time, in the hope that all issues will be resolved amicably between Jon and myself. As always, my first priority remains our children." Jon also released a statement saying, "This afternoon, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my number one priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe. My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn’t change that." The couple says the children will remain in the home and they will take turns living with them. This whole situation is just sad, and we feel so bad for those kids. Especially Aaden. Isn't he the cutest thing?

Wrapping up today's sad news is the death of Ed McMahon. The long time Johnny Carson sidekick passed away at 86 after a long battle with cancer. People of our generation may know him better as the guy who passed out giant checks (never to us, sadly) for Publisher's Clearing House.

Is it just us, or has it been a busy news week?

It would be Great to have Some For Real Confirmation

Katie is still out of town (come back Katie, I miss you!) until tomorrow, but I wanted to share a wee bit about what happened to my celebrity news life while I was in Maine.

When I was gone, I didn't have access to email, the internet or anything that provided me with an update on my favorite celebs. While I didn't miss my email so much (being cut off from the world is pretty awesome) I did wonder what was going on in Tinsel Town. When I landed at Reagan National Airport in DC yesterday, I almost felt like I was back in the city again after being gone for years, not just a few days. I looked over at the nearest newsstand, and the first thing that caught my eye was the magazine headline announcing that Twilight's Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are, in fact, desperate to be together. This rumour has run rampant for MONTHS and it would be great to have some for real confirmation. Although you can't blame Kristen Stewart for wanting to keep it under wraps so she doesn't end up the most hated girl in America (by the 15-and-under crowd anyways.)

Another story we're dying to know the conclusion to is what big announcement Jon and Kate will be making on tonight's episode. On a voice-over during the promo for tonight's episode, Kate says, "Recently we've made some life-changing decisions. Decisions that will affect every member of our family...ones that we hope will bring each of us some peace." What is this big announcement? Although I'm sure most would agree that the best possible scenario would be Jon and Kate taking their kids off TV and working on their relationship in private, history would show us that most likely they're going to go to "marriage counseling" -- and document it all on TV of course.

Sometime this afternoon (Pacific time) Rihanna is expected to speak in court for the first time about the Chris Brown assault. Rihanna's lawyer, Donald Etra, told New York Daily News, "[The subpoena] is not a guarantee they will call her as a witness, but I fully expect that they will. She will testify truthfully." I'm sure it's going to be horrifying for her to revisit that night, but here's hoping she'll do it so Chris Brown can get the punishment he deserves.

There are definitely more than a few stories we can't wait to hear the ending to. You can bet that we'll be on People.com all night to hear what Jon, Kate and Rihanna say.

We're Strangely Attracted to It

The words "perfect storm" definitely describe our vacation plans aligning this week! Anna is out of town with her family in Maine and Katie is out of town with her family in Wisconsin, so the blog must be, sadly, put on hold until next Monday, June 22.

Just because the blog is on hold doesn't mean our love of celebrity news is! So while we're gone, we're going to leave you with a few celebrity news things that have been on our mind lately:

1. Jada Pinkett Smith has told the world that she and husband Will like to have sex. A lot. And in a lot of places. Good to know.

2. Katie Holmes is appearing on So You Think You Can Dance. Although show producers won't confirm or deny her participation, insiders do say Katie has met with show judge Nigel Lythgoe on more than one occasion and she's been seen strutting around the SYTYCD sound stage as well as attending dance classes. Her appearance on this show is something we will. not. miss.

3. Has anyone caught Topanga's, we mean Danielle Fishel's, show The Dish on the Style Network? We don't usually get that channel but E! is doing a special Style on E! and we've caught a couple episodes. It's very clearly a rip off of The Soup, but we're strangely attracted to it.

4. The Hangover 2 is confirmed to be in the works. YESSSSS! That is the funniest movie of the summer.

5. What's with all the feuds? Sarah Palin vs. David Letterman, Carrie Prejean vs. Donald Trump, Jon and Kate Gosselin vs... the world. Come on people now, smile on your brother.

Let us know what celebrity stories have boggled your mind lately. We'll catch you early next week!

Nicely Done

Celebrity relationships are like weather -- they are different every day and can change at a moment's notice. While some celebrities' relationships are as sunny as a summer day (Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal), other celebrities are in relationships that are as weird as snow in July. And just like snow in July, it's inevitable these relationships will quickly melt and disappear.

Take Paris Hilton and (former) boyfriend Doug Reinhardt. Just days after telling the media they were in love, excited about celebrating their six-month anniversary and planning on having children (teehee), Paris and Doug called it quits. Or to hear some people tell it, Paris called it quits and Doug had no idea. According to New York Daily News, when E! contacted Doug for a response after hearing of the breakup, Doug responded, "No, that's not true. Everything is OK between us." Um, yeah, clearly. Guess Doug Reinhardt stands corrected. There've been some murmurings that Doug's ex-girlfriend came back into the picture and pissed off Paris, but we're going to go out on a limb and say Paris is stupid and Doug is a fame-whore. There are already rumours that Paris is dating Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United. Another match made in Heaven.

The least surprising relationship news of the year came about last week when Usher and his wife Tameka called it quits. The couple had been together two years and have two children together. Really the most shocking part of all this is that they didn't divorce sooner. Frankly, we're still stunned that they got married in the first place. According to In Touch, the couple have been living separately for almost a year. So half of your marriage was spent in separation? Nicely done. We just feel sorry for their kids.

More fascinating to us than bubbles to children is Britney Spears' love life. We really can't get enough of her good (Justin) and bad (Adnan, K-Fed, that dude she married in Vegas for a day) relationship decisions. But we have to say, we're still on the fence about her newest boyfriend, her agent Jason Trawick. Sure he's better than a paparrazzi or a dancer, but when is Britney going to stop mixing business with pleasure? Dating guys who are a part of her celebrity lifestyle hasn't worked out yet. We hope for the best for her, we really do. But we just don't think this is such a good idea.

Summer love -- not quite happening for these celebs!

Best/Worst News Since Britney Married K-Fed

What do 2 breakups + 1 gay announcement + 1 possible engagement equal? Celebrity news Tuesday!

Tuesdays aren't usually known for being exciting, but in the world of celebrity relationships, today was a big news day.

First up, singer/actress Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend of less than a year, Justin Gaston, have broken up. Miley and Justin's relationship has been plagued since the beginning with drama over their ages (she's 16, he's 20) and an insider says their budding careers are also a problem, "They have been having trouble for a while. It's been hard for a long time since Miley has been working so much and traveling a lot." Reps for Miley have no comment, but she did tell Us Weekly that Justin wouldn't be joining her on the road this summer saying, "He's got his own thing going on."

Breakup number two: Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli. That's right girls! Leo is back on the market after being on-again, off-again with Bar for quite some time. A fellow clubgoer at Avenue in New York, where Leonardo spent Saturday night, told People.com, "He was standing at the bar in front of everyone talking to a girl the entire night – and it wasn't Bar. It was in no way behavior for a guy who has a serious girlfriend." Bar was recently named Maxim magazine's third hottest woman in the world, so it sort of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Adam Lambert: I'm Gay! World: Duh. The American Idol runner-up, who is known for his, how should we say it, fabulous and flashy style refused to answer questions about his sexuality during his Idol run. However, in the new issue of Rolling Stone, Adam says, "I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay. I've been living in Los Angeles for eight years as a gay man." Adam, who's been spotted with possibly boyfriend Drake LeBry, said he didn't come out during his run on Idol because it would be "so sensationalized that it would overshadow what I was there to do, which was sing."

In what could possibly go down in history as the world's worst idea ever -- Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson might not only be back together, they might also be engaged! Holy crap. The duo spent the weekend in London together and were photographed leaving Heathrow airport, where Lindsay was sporting a huge diamond on her left ring finger. Lindsay also posted on her Twitter, "Leaving London but with my favorite favorite!!!-travel buddy & great news to share!! Maybe…." Again we say HOLY. CRAP. This is the worst/best news since Britney decided to marry K-Fed!

Here's hoping tomorrow's news is just as good!

K-Stew and R-Patz Together Forever?

After months and months of speculating whether or not Twilight's Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are a couple, Pattinson's former Harry Potter co-star, Emma Watson, seems to have outed them.

She says, "Oh god! He's absolutely hot! He's driving me crazy…But we're just good friends and can be on the phone for hours, because I know that there's something going on between him and Kristen Stewart."

As Katie so rightly and hilariously pointed out, Emma Watson just basically put a hit out on Kristen Stewart.

Awesome.

UPDATE: We just found out that the article where Emma made this comment is a fake! Her publicist says, "As you may be aware a Russian Magazine entitled I Love You has run a fictitious article about Emma Watson. This interview never took place with this magazine nor any other magazine and these quotes have been entirely made up. There is no truth in any of the comment and it is highly unprofessional of any publication to have done this. We are in the process of dealing with the magazine and this article, but please ask you not to reprint it in part or in full as it is pure fabrication from start to finish."

There you have it!

Major Issues that None of Us Could Imagine

We know Britney Spears as a multi-millionaire, platinum selling artist who sells out shows in huge arenas. We know she burst onto the scene at 16 with Baby, One More Time and before that she was a star on the New Mickey Mouse Club.

We also know she's gone through a considerable amount of turmoil over the past few years, but we don't really know why. It's been speculated that she's bipolar or suffered from post-partum depression, but no one's ever said for sure. However, a recent story published in UK's Mirror, suggests that Britney has showed signs of mental instability since her unstable upbringing in rural Louisiana.

The tabloid reports that as a child, Britney often witnessed her drunk, alcoholic father, Jamie, verbally abuse her mother, who would then take him back after he begged forgiveness. Britney's uncle, her father's brother, told the Mirror, "One time Jamie was drunk and tried to drive off with Britney in the car. She was no more than five years old. I tried to stop him, so I reached into the truck to grab the keys from the ignition and he punched me. We got right into it there by the car, fighting in front of her. Britney was jumping up and down, crying. Lynne had to run out to get her inside."

Apparently these episodes were not a rare occurrence during Britney's younger years. The situation was so bad that Britney's mom, Lynne, even filed for divorce from Jamie in 1980, citing adultery, stating he cheated on CHRISTMAS DAY. Lynne also sought a restraining order against Jamie at the time the divorce petition was filed, stating, she "fears the defendant will become angry when served with these papers; that he will harass and/or physically harm her, especially if he has been drinking."

The Spears ended up reconciling and remained married for 20 more years. After their divorce, Jamie sought counseling for his alcohol addiction and in 2004, "emerged a new man and was determined to be a better father." Four years later, he was rescuing Britney from herself. Ironic, since he is most certainly partly to blame for her mental breakdown.

It's also revealed that Britney has been on Prozac since age 18 and was a nervous wreck when the cameras stopped rolling. The girl who we were all jealous of back in the early 2000s (being Justin Timberlake's GF had to be AWESOME) had major issues that none of us could've imagined. During her Oops! I Did It Again tour "in the winter of 2000, she began having 'massive anxieties' in the middle of the night. A source close to her says: 'She had trouble sleeping and crying fits. She was restless and agitated. Nights were the only times she was alone and she struggled with that… When nothing was happening, it drove her crazy. Only exhaustion would knock her out.'"

Knowing all of this, it's truly surprising that Britney didn't have a breakdown sooner. We really hope that being around her father so much now isn't causing more emotional damage. The girl needs a good psychiatrist. Stat.

Celebrity News Roundup: It Blows Our Minds

After a week filled with company layoffs, a quick visit to NYC and a bird-poop covered cardigan, we are finally at Friday afternoon! And with that, of course, comes the Celebrity News Roundup!

1. Kill Bill's Bill was killed. Actor David Carradine was found dead Thursday in his Bangkok hotel room where he was shooting a film. The 72-year-old was found hanging in his closet, and his death was first reported a suicide. In a shocking twist, it is now being reported that Carradine was found with a rope tied around his neck and another around his genitals. Investigators refuse to state a cause of death until an autopsy is performed, but possible causes have been stated as suicide (now seeming less and less likely), sex gone wrong, accidental suffocation or heart failure. Nothing about this story is believable, appropriate or in any way okay.

2. Need a tasty treat to beat the heat this summer? Try out a Daniel Craig popsicle! A British ice cream company has created a "License to Thrill" popsicle that looks like Daniel Craig as he's coming up out of the water in Casino Royale. Yummy! The 100 calorie treat will come in blueberry, pomegranate and cranberry flavors. We really hope this idea takes off. Sure it's slightly creepy, but think of all the hot shirtless male celebs they could turn into popsicles! It blows our minds.

3. Fashion label Emanuel Ungaro is in talks with Lindsay Lohan. It was first reported that Ungaro was possibly going to invite her on as a creative consultant (WHY does Ungaro need Lindsay's creative input?) but now the story has shifted that they are considering her to be their new celebrity face. Best part of the story? Ungaro's famed desiger Esteban Cortazar reportedly will walk if Ungaro associate themselves in any way with Lohan. Can you blame the guy? Leggings and a spray tan line do not a fashion career make.

4. Shane West has emerged from that rock he's been hiding under and started hooking up with Evan Rachel Wood. While we're relieved that Evan Rachel has finally found someone attractive, less creepy and closer to her age to hook up with, we have to wonder what Shane West is thinking. This crazy chick dated Marilyn Manson after all. Even weirder is the fact that Evan and Shane know each other from the hit show Once and Again back in the day. You know, the show where they portrayed brother and sister. Ewww. Celeb incest is gross.

5. Eminem finally admitted he was in on the Bruno stunt at the MTV Movie Awards. Knew it.

6. Ashlee Simpson is a mean drunk. She and husband Pete Wentz were at the DJ Hero party in LA earlier this week. Also there was Pete's ex-girlfriend Michelle Trachtenberg, star of such classics as Harriet the Spy and Ice Princess. While things were cordial at first, after a few too many adult beverages Ashlee let loose and yelled at Michelle, saying, "I hope you know, the whole time you were dating Pete, I was fucking him!" Wow. Insecure much? You're married to him and you have a child together. Why rub it in Michelle's face so horribly? Besides you're a MOM. Mom's don't do things like that! Or at least GOOD mothers don't. Poor little Bronx Mowgli.

Have a great weekend!

They're Headed Here Next

Ohhhh Washington, DC. Home of sleazy politicians, several monuments, terrible clothes... and TWO new reality shows. Oh my.

That's right fellow Districtonians (District of Columbians?) both MTV and Bravo are about to invade our home.

First up, MTV's 23rd installment of Real World (yes, 23rd!) begins filming in Dupont June 20 say media insiders. Clearly they've hit every other American city (and some abroad as well) and since DC has apparently become the "it" town, they're headed here next.

Bravo, who has already hit Orange County, New York, Atlanta and New Jersey for its Real Housewives show, has set its sights on DC for the next installment. Really? Sounds about as fun as watching C-SPAN.

Not too many details have come out about either show, but it should be a fascinating summer. Just when you thought it was safe to leave your house because Georgetown and George Washington were out for the summer, the Real World cast hits. That's a LOT of spilled liquor.

I am Jealous

Where in the world is Katie?

I'll tell you where -- she's in New York City for the day (with her Mom!) seeing Lauren Graham in the Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls. *Sigh* I am jealous!

Not only do I love musicals, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lauren Graham. (You remember her as the fabulous Lorelai Gilmore in the much-missed Gilmore Girls.)

Hope you're having fun Katie! I also hope you spot a celeb in the Big Apple!

Maybe We're Just Getting Too Old

Although we love celebrities and the whole entertainment thing, we didn't watch the MTV Movie Awards last night. No real reason, we kind of forgot about them, and doesn't it seem like they weren't really promoted this year? Anyways, from what we've heard and read, we didn't really miss much. Although the MTV awards are always wilder and kookier than the traditional awards shows, there weren't too many highlights worth talking about this year, so we've heard.

Perhaps the most talked about incident happened when a nearly naked Sasha Baron Cohen descended from the ceiling and landed on rapper Eminem. As Cohen's bare butt rubbed against Eminem's face you could hear Eminem saying, "Are you serious? Get the f--- off me!" Apparently Eminem was super pissed... so pissed in fact that he stormed out of the show. Now, we're sure that was pretty hilarious at the time (we're kind of sorry we missed that one part) but all we can hear about today is that everyone thinks it was staged. For one thing, it seemed like Eminem was miked because you could distincly hear him say "Are you serious?..." Also, there was a camera positioned perfectly in the aisle for Cohen's descent onto Eminem as well as another camera that perfectly captured Eminem storming down the aisle and out the door. Finally, show producer Mark Burnett said to Hollywoodscoop.com earlier in the day, "Eminem — It's epic tonight! It's epic!" Too bad it wasn't for real -- Eminem getting pissed off enough to leave? Classic.

All in all the night's big winner was the cast of Twilight, who took home awards for Best Fight, Best Breakthrough Performance -- Male (Robert Pattinson) and Best Movie, among others. They also previewed their hotly-anticipated new film New Moon. We have to say, it looks AWESOME! Check it out for yourselves below.

Other winners included Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale for High School Musical 3 (big surprise there) and Miley Cyrus for her song "The Climb." Is it just us or are the MTV Movie Awards turning into Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards? Seriously though. All the winners are the same and it's not even that raunchy anymore thanks to the FCC. Maybe we're just getting too old for these kind of things.

We're definitely not too old to see New Moon this fall, however. Counting down the days!
