It’s been some time since word first got out of the tragic shooting at the home of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, Darnell, which left her and Hudson’s brother Jason dead. The body of Hudson’s nephew Julian was discovered three days later in an SUV, also shot to death. At the time, police suspected the estranged husband of Julian’s mother, Julia. His name is William Balfour and he already had a criminal record - not to mention the fact that he’d had recent disputes with Julia and Jason over a car.
Earlier this week, the police finally arrested Balfour. Read more…

I know I’m not the only one who never really noticed Tina Fey’s scar until someone pointed it out to me. But most people seem to be a little more observant than I was, and speculation has run high about the origin of her scar since she first appeared on Saturday Night Live. As it turns out, the story is somehow more bizarre 
than I could have imagined. According to recent reports:
The 38-year-old comedienne was attacked by a stranger in a violent slashing incident when she was five.

At first glance, Britney Spears’ recently leaked single “If U Seek Amy” from the her upcoming album “Circus” might just seem like another awkwardly-titled pop song that no one will care about in six months. The lyrics 
seem to tell the story of…uh…well, who knows. I can’t really figure it out. See if you can interpret this:
Oh baby baby
Have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom
Is she smokin’ up outside
Oh

As someone who got married about a month ago, I am highly qualified to comment on other people’s weddings. And here’s the thing about weddings: they are like 90% pageantry, 10% actual getting married. Even though the entire point is to get married, people will criticize you and call you a social failure if you 
don’t invite 100 of your closest friends and relatives to watch you put your private feelings on display.
I guess my point is, weddings are 90% unnecessary, but we continue to participate in it because it validates our need to be paparazzi’d for a day. And weddings, it turns out, are exploitative enough without actually being 100% fake.

TMZ has “reported” that Britney Spears doesn’t like her dad managing her affairs. This is almost as surprising as the fact that TMZ has, once again, posted a story without any reference to a source or where they heard it. Not that I doubt it - this is one of those things you can pretty much say without anyone questioning it.
We’re told Britney has been fighting with her dad quite often and one of the sore subjects is the dreaded Adnan. Britney wants to see him, but Jamie absolutely refuses. She is still in touch with her douchy ex, but they haven’t spent time together — even though Brit has been asking to see Adnan for months.

No one ever knows quite what to think when The Sun reports something. Like many of Britain’s popular newspapers, it’s a tabloid - but it’s not completely made up, like the Weekly World News. It’s more like the 
National Enquirer mixed with Star. Which is to say, some of the things they publish are substantiated, others are complete fabrications, and some actually turn out to be true.
Yesterday, The Sun reported that Michael Jackson had converted to Islam. And changed his name to Mikaeel. Read more…

If you’ll excuse me, I need to rant for a little bit.
So, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz had a baby. I’d forgotten they were married, probably because Ashlee Simpson looks like she’s about 13. For that matter, so does Pete Wentz. It turns out they’re both older than I 
am, but given that she obviously still shops in the Juniors section, I think she deserves to be treated like a teenager. If only there was some way to determine a person’s “Emotional Age” definitively enough to use it for driver’s licenses and such. Not that it would prevent Ashlee and Pete from having kids, I’m just saying it would be good for society.
What might have a more direct effect on this case is not allowing people - especially celebrities - to give their kids stupid names. Lest you imagine that my title is a joke, sadly, it’s not. Bronx Mowgli Wentz. For real. BMW.

Back in May, a new highly exclusive club called the Crown Bar opened in Hollywood. Since then, it’s gained quite a reputation for turning away the type of clientele that probably shouldn’t be turned away from anywhere - paparazzi have captured one particular doorman turning away some recognizable faces, 
including, most recently, Seth MacFarlane.
Currently the highest-paid T.V. producer in the business, Seth was on his way to enjoy some of the perks that come with being filthy rich - until the doorman turned him away. Luckily, TMZ’s ever-vigilant camerafolk were there to catch the moment, and Seth turned to them in frustration and struck up a conversation. Soon they began egging him on to repeat “giggity giggity,” the catchphrase of Glenn Quagmire, one of the many “Family Guy” characters that he voices. When Seth finally obliged, something seemed to click with the doorman - and he invited the multi-millionaire into the club.

This is one of those stories that is very sad in such a strange way, that you’re not sure whether to laugh or 
cry or make inappropriate jokes. I usually do all three just to be sure. But it’s hard, because I think we’ve all been through an obsessive teenage stage where we fantasized about developing a close friendship (or more) with a celebrity. Can we really judge Paula Goodspeed?
I’m not sure if her shared first name with Paula Abdul is just a bizarre coincidence, but what we do know is that she’s been obsessed with the pop star/American Idol judge for years. She appeared on Season 5 of the show, and her audition tape has been circulating on the Internet. Most people say you can tell she’s unabalanced, and yeah…you can. Read more…
