Katie Holmes is STILL clomping around New York in those atrocious, over-sized man jeans … but today they’re not even cuffed!

Gasp!

Just when I thought that nothing could possibly look worse than the cuffed man-pants … I see the un-cuffed man-pants! Definitely, definitely worse.

I mean, Katie knows we’re watching at this point. The paparazzi know her rehearsal schedule for her upcoming Broadway show, obvs, and they’re always waiting for her when she gets out. She knows she’ll be photographed. So WTF kind of statement is she trying to make here? Ugly ugly ugly.

Lindsay and SamRo hit up Miami International Airport on Wednesday after spending a few days hanging out there with Samantha’s family.

I’m relieved that Lindsay’s going to be back in LA, where the paparazzi can keep a closer eye on her.

U.S. Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard, 26, held a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday to unveil her new ad for PETA — where she poses sans swimsuit.

She moved forward with the conference despite the fact that Chinese authorities tried to cancel it just hours before its scheduled time, citing “safety concerns.”

“I think they just didn’t understand what we had planned,” said a PETA spokesperson. “We are not protesting against China. We just want to promote compassion for animals.”

Ah, there’s the problem, PETA. It’s just that the Chinese don’t really speak English. Other than that, Beijing authorities totally agree with your message.

So long, Heather Mills!

Paul McCartney seems to be going strong with his new woman, Nancy Shevell.

The couple are driving across the U.S. along Route 66 — in a classic ’89 Ford Bronco. They were spotted in Joliet, Illinois last weekend, and they’re apparently planning to take the famous highway all the way to the West coast.

This is actually a really smart move on Paul’s part. I mean, if he doesn’t hate her after a cross-country drive in an ’89 Bronco, she’s definitely a keeper. I don’t think there’s anyone on the planet right now with whom I’d want to drive cross-country. Well, except for Leo. Because he doesn’t talk.

Hi kids,

Changes abound today!

In addition to the new commenting rules (which seem to be keeping away spammers, hooray!), I’m also trying out PhotoCrank, a service that lets you guys draw directly on photos and see what other people have drawn, too. You’ll need a PhotoCrank account (get one here), but once you have one, you just use the buttons below the photos on this site to draw on the photos or view what others have done.

I just thought it was a kind of cool thing that you guys might have some fun with. If you love it, let me know. If you hate it, let me know. We’re just trying it out for now. If you find it to be a distraction, we’ll take it down. So play around with it and see if you like it.

It turns out that Morgan Freeman and his wife of 24 years, costume designer Myrna Colley-Lee, have been separated since December 2007 and are currently in the process of divorcing.

Perhaps that explains why Freeman was out past his bedtime — at 11:30 pm — driving female passenger Demaris Meyer to his house. It’s been rumored that Freeman fell asleep at the wheel, causing the accident.

It’s so disappointing to see long-term Hollywood couples split up. Does marriage work for absolutely no one these days?
