Ooooooh CATFIGHT YOU GUYS!!!!

After former Idol runner-up Clay Aiken made headlines by referring to Adam Lambert’s singing as “contrived,” “awful” and “slightly frightening,” Adam has a little something to say himself.

“I don’t know Clay,” he says in a new interview with E!. “I’m glad he’s getting headlines now though, because he wasn’t before. If he wants to ride my coattails about it, good for him.”

OH SLAM!

Aiken’s 2008 album, On My Way Here, sold 94,000 copies in its first week. In comparison, his 2003 album, Measure of a Man, sold 613,000 copies in its first week. Looks like he could use some publicity.

Cute Freddie Prinze Jr., hubby of Sarah Michelle Gellar, has a new gig this fall.  After basically doing voice work for the past couple of years, Prinze has landed a role as a regular on the show 24, playing a Marine who wants to follow in the steps of Jack Bauer.  I thought that show was cancelled.  Huh.

I don’t watch 24 but I’m assuming that Jack Bauer doesn’t spend his time drinking 14 hours a day, serving short stints in the slammer and head-butting people, right?  Actually, now that I think of it, that sounds like a good show for Keifer to look into next year when 24 gets axed.

Anyway, good luck to Prinze!  This is very timely for him since he and his wife have a baby on the way.  Those things get expensive.

I don’t know if I’d call American Idolloser Katharine McPhee a celebrity, but I guess she still garners some level of media attention.  And like all washed-up has-beens, she’s doing infomercials.  McPhee plugs a great anti-pap device.

NSFW.

The never-stopping machine that is Kate Gosselin is at it again.  Her newest business venture is a cookbook titled “Love is in the Mix:  Making Meals Into Memories” that she has “written” that is due for release this October. 

Already, Kate is under harsh criticism for plagiarizing recipes.  Apparently, You can’t take the Chex party mix recipe off the side of the box, rename it Monkey Munch and call it your own.

Like I said the other day, I haven’t been a long-time J&K+8 fan, but I’ve seen enough episodes to know that Kate doesn’t really, um, cook.  I mean, if serving yogurt qualifies someone to write a cookbook, then I need a literary agent to get in touch with me right away.  Because I can actually heat chicken nuggets…the dinosaur shaped ones.

Now, I’m assuming the book has already gone to press but I’d like to submit a recipe to Kate, anyway.  Perhaps she could use it for the follow-up book that is probably already in the works.

What is it about shortened holiday weeks that make them feel interminably long?  I don’t know, but I swear this week has been going on for a month now.

For everyone out there who looks at pictures of celebrities and only dreams of having such beauty, this snapshot of a celeb on the streets of New York should convince you just how amazing makeup and Botox and surgery and push-up bras can be.

If you don’t recognize the face, you’ll see a more recognizable version of her after the jump.

The last time I made a bet about the legal fate of Chris Brown, it didn’t go well.  I ended up having to write two hundred kind words about Mischa Barton and how she positively affects my life.  I’m still having nightmares and the occasional facial tic over it.

While I’m recovering from the fact that Brown’s assault case wasn’t dismissed or pled out, I am happy to report that Rihanna’s attorney Donald Etra confirms that the singer will be in court at Chris’ next hearing on June 22nd and that she will be prepared to testify against Chris Brown.  Oh, I hope and pray this happens.  I want the public to hear the real and true details of what happened that night.  I also think it’s a positive message for other women who are afraid to speak out against their abusers.

When asked how Rihanna is coping, Etra replied, “She is doing fine.  She is continuing with her career and moving on with her life and doing great.”
