Russell Brand, looking “smashing,” as he’d probably say, on set of his Arthur remake. Get your fill, guys. He’s all man and all Katy Perry’s.

Remember when Katharine McPhee was just a gawky American Idol contestant who had a pretty decent singing voice and you couldn’t figure out whether you liked her or you didn’t care either way?

I mean, you could say kind of the same thing about Carrie Underwood except, of course, Carrie Underwood’s kind of a superstar, and Katharine McPhee is here at a reception for Expedition Blue Planet’s “A Night With Alexandra Cousteau,” raving about her shoes, which are Steve Madden.  I guess I can’t wig too much; it’s a huge step forward that McPhee’s no longer blonde and has gone back to her roots of brunette — no pun intended.

So yeah.  You’ve come a long way from “Black Horse and a Cherry Tree,” girl. But you really need to keep your lips zipped over this whole Steve Madden thing if you ever want to work in this town again.

“It’s funny because usually it’s the girl who’s naked. I was like, ‘That’s right, bitch. The tables are turned!’ ”

The ever-eloquent Drew Barrymore on her latest film, Going the Distance, and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Justin Long, showcasing his dong in the very same movie.

Justin Long dong. Justin Long’s penis, balls, and/or ass. OK, now. Say it with me: Eurrgh!

After what was reportedly a dreadful performance at NYC’s HARD Festival, M.I.A. has offered to host free show for HARD attendees who felt ripped off. In addition to the M.I.A.’s crappy performance, a thunderstorm took over that resulted in the show ending early. Although a rep for the performer hasn’t been able to confirm that this free show will actually happen, the gesture is generous and totally fair.

Which makes me want to ask you: What was your biggest concert nightmare? When have you felt stiffed by an artist or screwed over by a ticket broker? A few weeks ago I saw a thirteen year old girl in a new dress crying her eyes out in front of the Miley Cyrus show because her grandma had bought her bogus tickets on an unauthorized site. When I was like, 16, I bought tickets to see Christina Aguilera and Destiny’s Child at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts. We drove like, 45 minutes to get there, got inside, found spots on the grass field and waited there for a half hour before we started hearing announcements that the show was canceled due to Xtina having a sore throat. Needless to say, a refunded ticket didn’t make up for my devastation.

Holla in the comments. Get it out, guys.

The cast of Jersey Shore headed to the New York Stock Exchange this morning to ring the bell and start the day of trading. I have no words, but maybe you do.

After declaring bankruptcy, Real Housewife Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe are being forced to auction off items from their extravagant home (a tour of which is in the video above… that playroom. My God.) The couple are selling two flat screen TVs, a foosball table, a suit of armor (???) and several chandeliers, amongst other things, to cover debts owed.

Anyone who is familiar with the show knows that Teresa’s spending is out of control and in recent episodes, she’s been defending her family’s financial state to no end. I actually feel for her and her family, as it’s clearly her own lack of education on finances and responsibility that got her to this place. They’ll be suffering the consequences of their overspending for years to come.
