It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Sacha Baron Cohen not dressed up as Bruno, but he made a rare exception to do the David Letterman show last night, telling a laugh-out-loud hilarious story about … well … interviewing a real terrorist. This one’s a must-watch.

I cannot WAIT to see this movie. I will be the first in line.

“I love acting.  It’s something I respect. It’s something that makes me want to be respected for what I do. I’m working toward being a respected actress. Meryl Streep is it for me.”

Hayden Panettiere, to Chicago Sun-Times sharing her hopes of being on the same ability levelof Meryl Streep one day.

Normally, when I hear ”plagiarism,” I immediately think “Chris Martin,” but there’s a new “Gee, this song sounds familiar” case out there, and it doesn’t involve Coldplay. 

There’s a musician Adam Freeland who composed an interlude track for his 2008 album ”Cope”,  titled “Mancry.”  He claims that Black Eyed Peas heavily borrowed from his piece of work and applied it to their new song, “Party All The Time.”  Too heavily borrowed — their lawyers are involved.

What do you think?  I listened to them both and can’t really tell if they sound all that similar, but I also just figured out that “ABC” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” are the exact same tune.

Rachel Weisz, the 39-year-old actress from the Mummy movies spoke out in the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK about her distaste of all things Botox.  “It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen.  Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?”  Yeah, that’s a brilliant analogy Rachel, except steroids improve performance and, by your definition, Botox diminishes performance.  Duh.

How about this?  Let’s ban all dumb actresses from wearing dresses that make them look like a spear of asparagus just searching for some hollandaise.  Deal?

It’s time for me to say “Goodbye” to my fiance, Bradley Cooper.  I could handle the “dates” he had with Jennifer Aniston and Renee Zellweger.  I found a way (denial) to handle the gay rumors.  But now, he has gone and betrayed me in the worst and most unspeakable way possible.  He is forever tainted.

Here are some pictures of Bradley on the movie set of his upcoming flick, Valentine’s Day.  Pictures of him and … Julia.  Roberts.  What’s next, Bradley?  A cameo on Mischa Barton’s soon-to-be-released, soon-to-be-cancelled Beautiful Life?  You break my heart.

I’ve cracked the code.  I’ve finally figured out how Lindsay Lohan’s brain works.  Basically, every belief that Lindsay holds is the opposite of reality.  In her pickled brain, dead-end relationships and cocaine and bad tanner are all components of success.  She utilizes the same processing for selecting movie roles. 

Linds was approached about the stripper role   — she would have been a natural — in the movie The Hangover.  When she was presented with the screenplay, she turned it down because she felt the part ”had no potential.”  Once the movie developed into a script, director Todd Phillips offered Lohan the role after heavy lobbying by her agent.  Again, she said she didn’t like the script.  Did I mention that The Hangover is a summer blockbuster and has made, like, millions and millions of dollars?

Working on my theory of LL’s “Opposite World” brain, I think she can save her career and her life by just doing anything that seems like a bad idea to her.
