It’s The Wire. With a laugh track. Because it’s the only thing that could make me feel better today.

If you’re listening at work, be sure to do so with headphones, unless you work at an office like mine, where everybody’s too busy being sued by the entire entertainment industry to care much about what the resident gossip girl’s doing in her cubicle.

At the Patrick Demarchelier exhibition party in Paris, with director Paul Anderson, her long-time boyfriend and baby daddy.

Inexplicably, I kind of love it. This is probably because there is something very, very wrong with me today. I just don’t know what. But clearly one of the symptoms is poor fashion sense. Someone alert Dr. House and his team.

Suri Cruise wishes everybody would just be quiet for a minute, as she attempts to get into the car following an outing with her parents.

I’ve been wandering around the office all day, stirring up trouble and generally being a nuisance, because, ya know, I just don’t feel like working right now. I mean, it’s a slow news day, and I just feel — off somehow. I can’t focus. Everything feels stressful and overwhelming. If my blog were a staged concert, I would totally cancel it today and tell you guys I had to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, because it is a blog, even if I were in the hospital you guys would be like “You’re so lazy! I mean, what else do you have to do? You’re in the hospital. Stop coming up with excuses not to work! Roll up your hospital gown sleeves and get to typin’!”

So I feel for Janet Jackson, who has canceled her third show this week, scheduled in Boston on Wednesday. Janet’s reps have released no explanation for why she needs to cancel shows, although they did say she was rushed to the hospital yesterday.

Get better, Janet!

First Aubrey O’Day, now Pam Anderson.

Everyone’s getting all kissy-face with their doggies!

Despite early rumors that All My Sons couldn’t sell tickets, it played to 98% full houses during its first full week of preview performances, making it the highest-grossing play on Broadway.

Keep in mind that when we say “play” we mean “non-musical.” Successful musicals usually see much higher numbers than plays.

All My Sons brought in $684,002 last week, while Wicked brought in $1.3M, just for comparison.

Regardless: congrats, Katie!
