Celebrity Updates: “Dancing’s” New Star, Pam’s New Gig, And Rosie’s New Apology

In a previous blog I mentioned that producers of ABC’s mega-hit, “Dancing with the Stars” were racing to find a replacement for contestant Vincent Pastore, who dropped out of the competition earlier this week. With less than three weeks until season four’s premiere, Pastore announced the show’s physical demands were too rigorous for him and he “felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity.” Enter former “Cheers” star John Ratzenberger. Show executives told hosts of “Good Morning America” that the actor, who played Cliff Clavin on the popular barroom sitcom for 11 seasons, would take Pastore’s … Continue reading →

What’s the Big Deal?

Jennifer Aniston had lunch with musician John Mayer in Miami last week. Whoo-hoo. What’s the big deal? Frankly, I don’t think it’s worth mentioning, but for some reason news of this alleged “intimate” luncheon is making headlines the world over. For those of you who haven’t opened a newspaper or surfed the Internet this weekend, apparently the former “Friends” star had a late private lunch with Mayer at a trendy Miami eatery—-which, by the way, the couple reportedly had opened just for them—Friday afternoon, before reuniting again for a lengthy dinner later that night. According to news reports, Aniston and … Continue reading →

Parents of Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu fans brace yourselves… it appears the popular kids from Disney’s “High School Musical” series aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. “High School Musical 3” hasn’t even started shooting (filming begins in two weeks in Utah and it’ll be in movie theaters in the fall) and the folks at Disney are already working on “High School Musical 4.” According to Disney execs, the script for “High School Musical 4” is in the process of being inked and as it stands now the project will likely be a TV movie unlike “High … Continue reading →

Carey’s Record Breaking Chart-toppers and Aniston’s Off the Chart New Project

“Touch My Body” by Mariah Carey, have you heard it on the radio? I haven’t, but after learning it recently made history I’m somewhat anxious to hear if it lives up to the hype. “Touch My Body” just became Carey’s 18th hit single and subsequently the pop diva has now passed Elvis Presley for the most No. 1 singles on the Billboard singles chart, and is now second only to the Beatles (the group holds the record with 20). It’s quite an accomplishment regardless of how you feel about Carey’s music or her image. Speaking of her image, Carey was … Continue reading →

Efron Emergency

“High School Musical” star Zac Efron is missing a body part this morning. Luckily it’s one he can live without. The teen heartthrob reportedly underwent emergency surgery Tuesday to remove his appendix. According to the 20-year-old actor’s rep, Efron was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles Tuesday and went under the knife shortly after he arrived. No word on whether gal pal and co-star Vanessa Hudgens is helping her boyfriend recover. However, the timing of Efron’s medical emergency is noteworthy. The actor’s hospitalization comes a day after Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Productions announced that he and his … Continue reading →

Prison Bans Jennifer Aniston… Poster

You have to wonder if Jennifer Aniston realizes that a mere picture of her flawless figure is at the center of a case that has cost taxpayers in Wisconsin (that’s me) thousands of dollars. On second thought, I’m sure she tells her publicist to keep these types of stories far, far away from her. So here’s the scoop on Jennifer Aniston (the poster) vs. the world (or at least this part of the world). An inmate imprisoned about 30 minutes from my home wanted to hang a picture of Brad Pitt’s ex-wife on the wall of his cell. However, the … Continue reading →

Don Imus Returns to Radio

For those of you who don’t know, Don Imus is back on the radio. His return comes eight months after his racially charged on-air remark about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team (he called them “nappy-headed hos”) got him fired from CBS Radio and MSNBC. Critics lambasted him; he apologized, laid low for a few months and then lo and behold was hired by Citadel Broadcasting and is now right back where he started. Only now he’s got a few new friends—young black cast members. Do you see where I’m going with this? Imus returned to the airwaves with a … Continue reading →
