The body of Ingrid Rivera, who was last seen on Sunday night, attending Lil’ Kim’s birthday party at the Spotlight Live club in Times Square, was found on the roof of the building where the party took place.

The woman suffered massive head injuries, among others.

Um …

Wow.

The worst thing that ever happened at one of my birthday parties was when someone made me do a shot of Three Wise Men. That’s Jack Daniels, Jose Cuervo and Jim Beam. Which is pretty much equivalent to suffering massive head injuries, but the difference is you’re still alive the next day, albeit barely.

RIP, Ingrid.

By the way, this pic was taken at the party where this woman was killed.

Marriage doesn’t work for anybody ever so just don’t bother.

Dixie Chick Emily Robison and her husband, singer Charlie Robison, have divorced.

The divorce filing states their marriage had “become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities.”

They’ve been married nearly ten years and have three children.

See, this is why pets are good. Pets will not divorce you nor create discord. Right now my cat Max and my dog Leo are having an epic battle which has, at this point, involved every room in the apartment. They just chase each other from room to room, run in circles around each other for awhile, swat a bit, and then take the adventure to a new room, galloping at full speed. Also, I swear I just heard Max bark. See? This is so much more entertaining than any man has ever been.

After years of denials, Miley Cyrus has finally admitted that she did, in fact, date Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers.

“We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met,” Miley says in the September issue of Seventeen Magazine. “He was on a quest to meet me, and he was like, ‘I think you’re beautiful and I really like you.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I like you so much.’”

“Nick and I loved each other,” she says now. “We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn’t fun.”

After they broke up at the end of 2007, she says, “At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk. And I dyed my hair black. When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights – and so I did that, and I got myself looking great. And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, I want to make my hair black now – I don’t want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core. I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be. And then I was like, I’ve got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am … Maybe he’ll be my best friend for the rest of my life or maybe I’ll end up marrying Nick Jonas!”

You know, I have to be honest, this is a fairly mature, brave and articulate expression of the termination of a long-term relationship. I remember dying my hair brown because the guy I was dating preferred brunettes, and, the minute we broke up, I ran to my hairstylist like “Blonde! BLONDE BLONDE BLONDE! RIGHT NOW!” So, although it’s kind of frustrating that my behavior in my mid-20s is the same as the behavior of a 15-year-old, I still felt a sense of kinship reading this.

Nick’s currently carrying on with Selena Gomez, but I have a feeling this drama is not yet complete.

If you live in America, you’ve no doubt heard of the recent National Enquirer story alleging that hot-shot politician John Edwards had a secret affair which produced a secret child. They even have pictures! However, thus far, the mainstream media has not muttered a word about the scandal, since the Enquirer story is anonymously sourced with no hard evidence. But with the Democratic National Convention coming up, and Edwards likely to speak at the event, the issue is looming larger, particularly since Edwards has chosen to ignore the story and refuses to answer questions rather than firmly deny it. Political strategists say this isn’t going to work going forward, particularly if Edwards wants a shot at the vice presidency or attorney general’s seat.

“He absolutely does have to [resolve it]. If it’s not true, he has to issue a stronger denial,” said Gary Pearce, the Democratic strategist who ran Edwards’ 1998 Senate race. “It’s a very damaging thing. … The big media has tried to be responsible and handle this with kid gloves, but it’s clearly getting ready to bust out. If it’s not true, he’s got to stand up and say, ‘This is not true. That is not my child and I’m going to take legal action against the people who are spreading these lies.’ It’s not enough to say, ‘That’s tabloid trash.’ ”

Will Edwards issue a statement like that? And will it — one way or another — finally push this story into the mainstream media? And will that impact the Democrats’ chances in the upcoming election?

I don’t know and I don’t care.

I just LOVE secret baby stories!

For whatever reason, the DEA has ended its investigation into the death of Heath Ledger, so Mary-Kate will not have to testify before a grand jury. We’ll also probably never know how he got the OxyContin that contributed to his death, other than “illegally.”

Sigh.

Don’t take that kind of shit unless it’s prescribed by a doctor, kids … a doctor that you didn’t pay off! It’s very very dangerous!!!
