Tori Amos doesn’t give interviews all that often, but when she does it’s always super-awesome.

This is what she told The Sun about Lady GaGa:

She’s what I call a meteor – singers who entertain people for a while. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that. But then there are people like Neil Young who show up at Glastonbury 40 years into their career. And that’s a very different kind of artist. Neil Young doesn’t have to get his bum out on stage! The question is, will Lady GaGa be playing alongside Neil Young at Glastonbury in 20 years time? She wants to entertain people. Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. So her timing’s perfect.

Oh SLAM! But this is really a giant dilemma for Perez Hilton. Whose side will he take? And, more importantly, are any of you reading his new site? It sure doesn’t seem like it …

Oh but Tori continues with her total awesomeness:

For me, the best thing that happened is that I didn’t have success like my father wanted me to when I was 14-years-old and I was playing clubs. Thank God it didn’t happen for me at that time. I probably wouldn’t be talking to you if it had. I think it’s really tough on teenagers when they have that kind of success. But you have to acknowledge Britney’s discipline right now – being a mum and being out on the road. When you do that year-in, year-out since you were a teenager, it can become overwhelming. … There’s a side to this industry that nurtures divas who can’t write. It’s a big business. I produce the records. I don’t hand over control to some really expensive producer who then talks to the record company and then tries to bend me to their will – for commercial purposes. But there are a lot of producers/co-writers who the only way they can make a living is if the divas are not producing themselves and not writing their songs.”

LOVE Tori! She’s made such a phenomenal career for herself using her out-of-this-world talents that she can sit around and talk smack about the industry and it’s totally cool. She’s earned it. Some people haven’t. (Are you reading this, Katie Heigl?)

Last thing: The above picture was taken at Radio City Music Hall on August 13. Not trying to be a bitch here, but is she pregnant again?

A year after her stint at Cirque Lodge, Kirsten Dunst was spotted stumbling wasted out of The Roosevelt after throwing back double vodkas all night. It’s one of several times she’s been out drinking at high-profile LA bars since her rehab stay.

I think the Cirque Lodge needs to add a class to its rehab curriculum. In fact, I think they should add it to the weekly activities at Promises and Wonderland as well. The class should be called How to Have a Giant Relapse Quietly. I will teach it. I will arrive with a map of Los Angeles and New York City, and I will mark with big X’s the bars to which you should not go for your giant relapse. They will include places like The Roosevelt, 1Oak and generally anything within the Thirty-Mile Zone and the borough of Manhattan. If you need to get off-your-face wasted in a bar, do it in Burbank, people. You’re for sure gonna get busted if you’re doing it on Hollywood Boulevard.

Also today in relapse: Sean Stewart, whose return to alcohol has reportedly gotten him dropped by his publicist and manager. (Sean Stewart had a manager?)

And lastly today in relapse, I downloaded Eminem’s Relapse and I really like it, but damn he’s brutal. There’s a fucking Heath Ledger call in there. Hey have I mentioned recently that Eminem’s Mariah diss track is my favorite song of the year?

OK, loves. We’re almost done promoting ABC’s TV on DVD. I promise. This part is actually a lot of fun. They wanted a photo gallery. I was like “A photo gallery? Shall I take pictures of my television? Or perhaps just my DVD player?” But they were willing to be a little flexible, so I thought it would be fun to do a fashion retrospective on Christina Applegate, the star of ABC’s Samantha Who? (Hey, you can buy the DVDs of it here!) This turned out to be a lot of fun, because, frankly, going through photos of Christina Applegate starting in 1987 is extremely amusing. She may be a beautiful girl and a talented actress, but this was a young woman just crying out for a stylist. It doesn’t help that no one looked good during the 80s. Also fun is looking at the old photos of the men she was with: Enjoy discovering the 1980s looks of Brad Pitt, Matt Perry and Alice Cooper in these photos. And, hey, while you’re at it, go buy a DVD of an ABC show. Beet out.

Maybe it’s just the hometown girl in me, but I think Ben Affleck looks smoking dressed as a bus driver on the set of his new film. The Boston native has headed home to work on his newest flick, and in between shooting scenes he took time to pal around with his co-stars, both actors and actual city employees.

The Summer of Death brings us its latest victim, writer Dominick Dunne.

Dunne passed away in his Manhattan home at the age of 83 from bladder cancer. Best known for his coverage of celebrity trials, most notably that of OJ Simpson, Dunne was also a celebrated author who wrote several best-sellers, including “The Two Mrs. Grenvilles,” “An Inconvenient Woman”, “A Season in Purgatory,” and his memoirs “The Way We Lived Then: Recollections of a Well-Known Name Dropper.”

After losing greats like Dunne and Ted Kennedy all in a 24 hour span, I don’t know if my heart can take much more. Here’s hoping we make it through the next week without another American icon leaving us.

Apparently, he’s going to spend the night shaking his ass a Hollywood night club with a bunch of girls. Ugh.

After his day in court, you’d think Chris Brown would spend a quiet night at home, reflecting, talking with family members and maybe, I dunno… reading a book or something else that doesn’t include grinding on hotties… But no. Chris Brown went out to celebrate his fairly light sentence with a dance party at Guys and Dolls. There he was seen flirting with girls, getting numbers, drinking “water” and other behaviors that are not expected from a man who needs to be showing the world that he is sorry for his actions.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Why any woman would give Chris Brown her number after knowing what he did to his last girlfriend is beyond me. I know we’re talkin’ about Hollywood here, but have these women no dignity?
