Glee seems to be one of the new shows that everyone is talking about and I’m wondering if I missed the boat on not seeing it from the start.  Is it a show I can jump into at any time?  I’m not into the vampire trend at all so True Blood and Vampire Diaries are not my thing, but a high school glee club?  Genius!

Here’s a musical number from last night’s episode and no, Kanye did not interrupt to say that Beyonce’s version was better.

Last night the cast of Dancing With The Stars did a special tribute to Patrick Swayze from his Dirty Dancing Days.  I’m not gonna lie, it choked me up a little bit.

Despite my hormonal self, I watched One Last Dance — has anyone ever seen that movie? — the other day.  It was the last movie he made with his wife Lisa Niemi.  Pretty horrible flick if you ask me, but it was just so sad to see how healthy and vital Swayze looked just six years ago.

Bad news to report today.  Lily Allen is giving up music.  She’s been under a lot of fire lately for her views on file sharing (she’s against illegal file shares but does illegal file sharing), but I don’t know if that’s related to her decision to stop.  She wrote on her blog, ”Just so you know, I have not renegotiated my record contract and have no plans to make another record (applause).  I do however remain a fan of new music, so this is not some selfish crusade.”

For the sake of all the Lily fans out there, let’s hope this is just some sort of launching pad for her “Lily is Back!” 2010 concert tour.  The Stones do it, Cher does it, Barbra Streisand does it, and it works!  It’s a shake down that sells lots of tickets but usually it’s done by people who’ve been in the music biz for decades.  Lily is still so young!

In unrelated news, guess who’s not going anywhere?  Melrose Place.  The CW has just ordered up six more episodes, undoubtedly to accommodate Heather Locklear’s impending arrival.

Rihanna

What do you think of Rihanna as a blonde as she was seen last night on the streets of New York?  I actually like it!  While you’re at it, take a look at the close-up of her boots.  Are those Lindsay Lohan boots or what?

I want to take this opportunity to clear up something.  Some of you thought I was mean-spirited in criticizing a pregnant Rebecca Gayheart for smoking.  Hey, if looking out for a helpless individual who can’t speak for themselves makes me mean, too bad.  When I was pregnant, I craved a bottle of red wine like Michael Lohan craves getting a mention on Page Six.  Sometimes you just have to put an unborn child first.  And, you know, she killed someone.  So she has a responsibility to do better and you can bet your bippy that I’m not going to feel bad about holding that viewpoint.  Now, INF and Huffington Post have reported that RG is preggo.  If, in fact, she’s just retaining water, I apologize to her pooch.  More importantly, can we now talk about how Eric Dane and Smokestack Gayheart are suing Gawker?

The couple filed suit against Gawker in L.A. County Superior Court today in response to the website’s decision to publish a four-minute clip of their ridiculous non-sex tape.  Through their lawyer, they are seeking more than $1M in damages as well as an injunction against the video.

Gawker’s publisher Nick Denton responded on Twitter:  “To quote the great Marty Singer — Eric Dane’s lawyer — if you don’t want a sex tape on the internet, “don’t make one!”

Leave it to Julia Roberts to piss off an entire temples-worth of Hindus!  She’s in India filming Steal, Your, Husband Eat, Pray, Love despite Beet’s many protestations.  Part of the movie is being filmed in the Hari Mandir temple, located in the town of Pataudi and this presents a problem.

The fall is one of the holiest times of the year for Hindus.  This movie production has prevented worshipers from being able to access their temple during Navratri, a religious festival, and the locals are not happy.

In addition to not being able to visit their house of worship, the security detail surrounding Julia Roberts has been described as “presidential”.  She has a bullet-proof vehicle and helicopter to cart her big mouth around.

Hey, making movies is a big production and someone in town agreed to all this crap.  But since this is Julia Roberts we’re talking about, can we just blame the whole thing on her?
