We have Duets II fever! The album’s September 20 release date can’t get here soon enough!

The music video for “Body and Soul”—Amy Winehouse‘s duet with legendary Tony Bennettpremiered on MTV yesterday, on what would have been Winehouse’s 28th birthday:

On Sunday, Tony Bennett will perform at the Metropolitan Opera, marking the beginning of the official celebration of Mr. Bennett’s 85th birthday. (No, I know, his birthday was in August. Whatever! Tony Bennett celebrates his birthday whenever he wants! He’s 85!)

The upcoming performance also marks Mr. Bennett’s Metropolitan debut. There, Bennett will sing duets with Aretha, Elton, and Alejandro Sanz. But don’t expect Mr. Bennett to sing “Body and Soul” onstage—that’s Amy’s song.

“It wouldn’t seem right without Amy,” Bennett says. “She did such a great job on it.”

And no, when I say “stalker” I’m not talking about her fiance, god! I’m talking about the completely obsessed fan who just wrote a book called The True Story of Jessica Ann Simpson’s 22 month long attempt to seduce a married man- her very Active Super Secret Sex life: True Story Jessica Simpson Seduction of A Married Man (Volume 1). Yes, it’s a real thing: 30 titillating pages you can buy on Amazon for just $29.99 from the esteemed author, Marce William Burchell, who also happens to have been stalking Jessica Simpson for years:

According to our sources, Burchell had puppies sent to her home when her beloved Daisy went missing and once got a hold of Jess’ phone number. His calls and texts forced her to eventually change it.

We contacted Burchell … and part of his 1,732 word response was, “This book was not written to hurt her, but was written as my only way to heal emotionally from the severe trauma and pain she put me through by her heartless cruel treatment of me.”

Burchell also wants to challenge Jess’ fiance Eric Johnson to a marathon — winner gets to marry Jessica.

We’re told Jessica has not contacted police … yet. Her reps had no comment.

This is just off the charts crazy, right? All of it – to go that far for some stranger, to go that far for Jessica Simpson – it’s just baffling. Let’s all just hope that Jessica stays safe during these creepy times, and that she continues to amaze us for years and years to come!

You guys, of course the title of “Love It or Leave It” is just a formality. Of course we’re leaving it, we’re leaving it back at our great-grandmother’s house on her coffee table where it belongs.

Taylor Swift, honestly. What is this girl doing with herself these days? I’ll tell you what: nothing good. I mean, Tay-Tay seems sweet and everything, but there is just something about her that gets on my last nerve, you know? Anybody else?

A photo of Kate Gosselin

“I think that people think that I’m like mommy dearest, like this horrendous person. Am I rosy and peachy and splendid all the time? I think everyone in this room could say ‘no.’ Sometimes, over two days of shooting for one episode and I have three crabby mommy moments. Well, guaranteed you’re going to see them all in a twenty two minute show. So of course that makes me look like I’m crabby mommy all the time.”

- Kate Gosselin on why everyone hates her.

I actually think the reason that everyone hates Kate is because she’s just a bitch. And I might even go as far as to call her the c-word, but that’s probably just because I’ve been watching Jersey Shore so much. But Kate’s had a long history of bitching and moaning and putting herself before her eight kids, so that probably has something to do with our opinions of her as well.  And you know, I’d never even considered the Mommy Dearest comparison, but I’ll be damned if I can get the idea of Kate screaming about wire hangers (“NO MORE WIRE HANGERS EVER!”) out of my head. What about you?

You should have known, you guys, that when that new Breaking Dawn trailer came out yesterday, that it would bring the crazies out in full force. And judging by the video above of our favorite crazy, that’s precisely what happened.

I’m sorry if this is a little much for your Thursday morning. Make sure to turn your volume down and get ready to giggle, and I guess be careful about eating your Cheerios while you watch this, because girlfriend is out of her mind.

It looks like it really is a crazy world, friends. Anderson Cooper and Snooki, tanning buddies? What’s next, Oprah getting a makeover from J Woww? Glenn Beck getting all roided up with Ronnie? Bill O’Reilly letting loose and cutting up with Deena? I could go on for the rest of the night, but I’ll stop so you can simply bask in the glow that is Anderson Cooper.
