Check out this new track from Lady GaGa and Rihanna — it’s called “Silly Boy,” and the lyrics would suggest that Rihanna still believes she’s a good girl, and that perhaps Chris Brown blew it for good. Man, I hope so. As far as PR moves go, though, this is a bright one for Rihanna — team up with another hot artist so the heat’s not all on her, and sing about a dude who messed everything up with an awesome girl. Very smart.

Then check out this clip from her new movie, Powder Blue, here. (Warning: NSFW.) Biel plays a stripper in the ensemble drama about four Angelenos who meet on Christmas Eve through “chance, tragedy and divine intervention.”

Let me have a go at these:

There is a chance this movie with be a gigantic flop. It is a tragedy that no one learned anything from Elizabeth Berkeley’s fate in Showgirls. And it will take divine intervention for Jessica Biel to become the respected actress she’s trying to be.

The best part is toward the beginning where Biel’s character throws a bunch of hot candle wax on herself and then starts crying. OH THE DRAMA!

Things just keep getting worse for Lindsay Lohan, don’t they?

A new report out of Britain indicates that cocaine purity is going way down and prices for the good stuff are going way up:

Prices per kilo have risen from £39,000 in 2008 to over £45,000 (50,000 euros), but street prices have remained stable. However, new figures obtained by the BBC suggest almost a third of police seizures are now less than 9% pure, the lowest recorded purity level.

The data, collected by the Forensic Science Service, reveals how drug gangs are using increasing amounts of chemicals – so-called cutting agents – to dilute cocaine powder sold on the streets of Britain. They include the cancer-causing drug phenacetin, cockroach insecticide and pet worming powder.

Soca head of enforcement Trevor Pearce told the BBC: “There is a discernible effect that we are now seeing in relation to the availability of cocaine both in Europe and also across the UK.

“We are now seeing high-quality cocaine at about £45,000 (50,000 euros) per kilo wholesale in the UK. That’s significantly higher than it has been and has to be indicative of the pressure which the importers are under.”

The study blames both the flailing economy and an increasingly organized effort across South America, the Caribbean, across the Atlantic and with European partners to limit the drug trade.

Seriously, though, who cares why this is happening? Who wants to stick pet worming powder up their nose? EW!!! Don’t do drugs, kids!!!

I would like to start off by saying that Kate Gosselin’s new epithet is most definitely Kate “Stop Breathing So Loudly” Gosselin. (Thanks Wendie! I couldn’t stop laughing at that one.) Secondly, the LA Times has an interesting story today about how the Jon & Kate producers are scrambling to incorporate Jon’s cheating ways into the storyline for the show — which has its season premiere scheduled in two weeks.

I didn’t realize this, but the LA Times says that Us Weekly — which broke the Jon cheating scandal — has seen its sales skyrocket as a result of their J&K coverage. My guess is that a lot of people who don’t normally read gossip mags are avid followers of J&K. (In fact, this website is proof of that — we have a whole nest of commenters who only comment on J&K stories.)

The last J&K season finale drew 4.6 million viewers, a HUGE number for a cable show. Lord only knows how many people will tune in now to watch the fallout. Honestly I don’t know how Kate is going to be able to sit on that couch next to Jon and do an interview without stabbing him repeatedly in the eye. The producer is gonna be all like, “So, Kate, tell us about Aaden’s appointment at the ear doctor” and she’s gonna be all like “JON! STOP BREATHING SO LOUD! YOUR HAIR PLUGS LOOK AWFUL! YOUR FACE IS TOO RED! WHY ARE YOU SO FAT?

Sigh.

I am SO excited.

Some of you may have seen this.  I had not but it really supports my suggestion that pageants need to just eliminate that time-consuming question and answer portion.

Thank you to Catherine!
