This Baby Cries in Auto-Tune

Rapper T-Pain Welcomes New Son, Kaydnz Koda Najm Hip-Hop star T-Pain (best known to some of you as one of the guys who's "on a boat") and wife Amber welcomed new son Kaydnz Koda Najm this weekend. Proud papa T-pain posted the above picture of little Kaydnz on his Twiiter account. Now, I'm not one of those people who thinks all babies are automatically cute. Some babies are ugly.  As a non-breeder, one of my favorite games to play in the grocery store is "Spot the wizened, world-weary baby who looks like he has a ton of street smarts." But li...

Thief Nabs Bacon’s Blackberry

kevin-bacon-phone-stolen The New York Post is reporting that Kevin Bacon's Blackberry was stolen by a mugger at 10:50 a.m. Thursday at the B, D and E station at 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue in NYC. The deliciously named actor chased after the thief but wasn't able to catch him. Station employees weren't notified of the robbery, but  sources say Bacon did notify police. This means that the robber either didn't recognize Kevin Bacon OR knew who he was and still had the brass tacks to swipe his phone and gain access to...

Jon and Kate Plus Board Certified Marriage Counselor

kate-gosselin-hedgehog If Jon, Kate, and TLC want to keep this money train rolling, they're going to have to find a way to cull a few more seasons out of the debacle they call family life. Reports are surfacing that the two may be seeking marriage counseling in a desperate attempt to salvage their relationship, and that TLC might film the counseling sessions and use the footage in a new season of Jon and Kate Plus 8. "The big question is whether they'll allow cameras into their therapy sessions. TLC would want to...

Ben Stiller and Spider Monkeys Accomplish What John Connor Couldn’t

night-at-the-museum-tops-box-office When I went to see the new Star Trek movie I had to sit through a preview for another Night at the Museum movie while wondering why in the hell anyone would make another Night at the Museum movie. It's like the time I saw a DVD of Taxi 4 sitting on the shelf in Blockbuster-- enough people loved Taxis 1 through 3 to warrant making a fourth one. Likewise, enough people enjoyed Night at the Museum to warrant making a sequel. The latest incarnation, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian...

Chris Brown to Record Country Song

chris_brown_head I feel bad for fans of pop country. It seems like most of the entertainment industry regards country as a safe haven where anyone whose career is on its last legs can record some mediocre tripe and score some cash -- Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and now Chris Brown. After beating the crap out of special lady friend Rihanna, Brown has decided to take himself one step closer to becoming a sad caricature of trailer park life and will release a country song called "Trapped in a Dream" on ...

Susan Boyle is Still a Virgin

PD*28216965 The homely singer is getting ready for the final round of Britain's Got Talent, and she's heavily favored to win. Amanda Holden, a judge on the show, has invitied Demi and Ashton to attend the final show since the couple are supposedly big fans of the Boyle. She's even received a personal invitation from her majesty to appear at the Royal Variety Performance-- which will be embarrassing if she doesn't win, since that honor is typically reserved for the winner of BGT. And in case you were wonderi...

Dave Matthews is Twitter-shy

dave-matthews-twitter-paranoid Since late April, followers of Dave Matthews' Twitter page have been deprived of such insightfull 140 character posts as “I wonder if snail farts smell if you’re close enough to the snail’s asshole to smell something so tiny?” The singer hasn't updated in a while and it's all thanks to Rolling Stone. The music rag recently published an article about "Rock Stars on Twitter" that included Matthews and several of his choicest tweets, such as "Do men wax their balls?" Matthews had sai...

It’s My Party and I’ll Mysteriously Leave Early if I Want to

paul-allen-sick-cancer Cannes is like the Myrtle Beach of France and its annual film festival the billionaire equivalent of Spring Break. I find it strange to think of Mick Jagger and Quentin Tarantino doing body shots on the yacht of Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, but apparently that's the norm.  Allen had a string of parties lined up for the week but bailed early on, returning to the U.S. because he "wasn't feeling well." The parties went on without him, but his early departure has once again raised con...

So You Think You Can Apologize

16804916nigellythgoe522200951400pm-1 Earlier this week Nigel Lythgoe, a judge on the reality show So You Think You Can Dance stirred up controversy when he commented that the samba danced by male contestants Misha Belfer and Mitchel Kibel was too effeminate. He later tweeted "The same-sex ballroom guys did remind me of Blades of Glory. However, I'm not a fan of Brokeback ballroom." Today he issued an apology and GLAAD seems to have accepted it. "I sincerely regret the fact that I have upset people with the poor word choices an...

Jessica Biel Wishes She Was Whitney Houston

57413532jessicabiel5192009114739am-1 In her new movie, Easy Virtue (you can tell from the title alone that it's going to be really deep and thought-provoking) Jessical Biel gets the chance to show off her pipes. No, I don't mean her tits. That's her other movie that just came out on the shelves of a Blockbuster near you. Easy Virtue is a completely different movie that doesn't have any strippers or candlewax... at least I don't think it does. At any rate, Biel, who does a fair bit of singing in the new film,  reveals that s...

Nick Cannon, Where’s the Beef?

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey Last week, Wendie wrote about the supposed feud that's been brewing between Nick Cannon and Eminem over some lyrics in Eminem's new single "Bagpipes from Baghdad" and a few wet and wild comments he made about Cannon's wife, Mariah Carey, on his satellite radio show. Cannon had initially posted a blog entry on his website, basically calling Slim Shady out for fisticuffs. But now he's saying that in spite of his harsh words towards Shady, there is no feud between the two of them. "I felt like I...

Celebs Raise Money for AIDS Research, But All I Care About Is Their Expensive, Hideous Clothing

paris-hilton-amfar And now comes the point in the evening where I take a break from playing Punch Out to look at pictures of celebrities in expensive, but not always beautiful clothing. Several celebs turned out for the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Dinner held as part of the Cannes Film Festival. I wish I were the kind of person who opts not to say snarky things about celebrities when they're actually doing something good and magnanimous, if not exactly altruistic. But let's be realistic here-- if I were that kind...
