Wow, that AP story made me mad.

Why do we even bother helping those people when they won't even pay us the simple courtesy of keeping up with who's who? Is it so hard for someone to just pick up a People magazine or a National Enquirer or watch Entertainment Tonight once in a while? It's not like they've got anything to do!

I'm glad there are people like the father-in-law around Amy Winehouse and her husband. I'm not one, but I would think her fans want alive, making music, so, if I were them, I'd go for the boycott.

I don't know Lily Allen, but she sounds like a rude biatch and I'm glad she was thoroughly embarrassed. Faking a Jamaican accent and pushing the guy! Jamaicans, 1, Arrogant British Poptarts, 0...

Nigella, darling: watch yourself. Martha's done time. If you're not careful you'll end up with an attractive and very functional shiv in your spleen just in time for Thanksgiving dinner.

And am I the first one to think that it's about time Britney hooked up with a *private* dick for a change?

WMPLMAO, byoolin.

"Jessica did the interview as soon as she was free from shooting."

Shooting what? Ducks? Quail? Please, please tell me someone didn't put this no talent bimbo in another movie!!!

Thank goodness Bridget named her child something normal. Although the Patriots fans are gonna be ticked about the initials.

Get well soon Bo Diddly.

and the hits just keep on comin', eh, byoolin?

re: backstreet boys...that was one very sad photo. 'hipster' makeover? it looked like the CARE package included bad shades and cheesy sweatshirts.

james brolin.... what has he done? what has he done in the last...say...30 years other than maaco commercials and marrying streisand? he was on marcus welby and i'd wager that 90+% of the readers of this blog don't know who marcus welby was.

and bravo bridget moynahan!

Liz,
This is a little off the Celebritology beat but I just read an AP report that "pranksters" wrapped Karl Rove's car in plastic wrap and adorned w/stuffed animals and an "I love Barack Obama" bumper sticker while it was parked on the driveway near the West Wing of the White House.
Do you know whether the Wash.Post has a photo of that anywhere on its website?
I for one would be interested in seeing that.
gracias~

How much you want to bet Amy Winehouse's "Caribbean Adventure" ends with her landing in a piss-soaked island jail for buying drugs.
Ever seen "Papillon?" That's about it, I hear.

methinks, you say "pranksters", the White House says "terrorists."

potato-poTAHto..yadda, yadda

John Edward Thomas Moynahan

What a nice Irish name! I wonder if he will be called "Jack" for short.

Do you all think Tom is mad that he doesn't have his last name?

i think brady's probably okay w/the baby not having his last name. besides he's got gisele bunchen as his consolation prize.

'scuse me, that's "bundchen".

Supermodels and star athletes making babies - our own little eugenics experiments. So cute.

Of the twelve bold-faced names in today's Headlines section, there are four people who I think I could reliably pick out of a line-up. Five are names I've never heard outside of this column. Am I completely out of touch, or does this begin to scrape the bottom of the "celebrity" barrel?

Those five names are lucky just to find themselves *near* the barrel.

We have a very loose definition of 'celebrity' here. (For instance, I'm one.)

Backstreet's back...uh, right. Give it up already, even though their fan base is now totally into sweaters and shades (what I'm wearing at this exact moment), I think we all prefer the other makeover -- remember when they had all that makeup and Howie had long flowing locks?
If Angie was wearing a burka, nobody would recognize her. Maybe she was wearing a bandana or surgical mask with her flak jacket and helmet? Her lips give her away, but when they're covered, she's just a random skeletor.
Britney's money might be better spent on a private dick (byoolin rocks) who photographs her doing "normal" things with her kids, like wiping their mouths, feeding them carrots, strapping them into car seats, and putting clothes on them.

Methinks, yahoo has a picture of Karl's car: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070829/ap_on_go_pr_wh/rove_s_car

This is a new car. When he nearly sideswiped my husband on the Key Bridge last year, he was driving a Mercedes.

Byoolin, you're worth way more to me as a celebrity than Bridget Moynahan. Whoever that is.

Rove's car was parked in WH grounds...the wrap job had to have been done by someone on staff with permission, otherwise Secret Service would have stepped in. Funny prank, though.

many thanks! i suppose i could have found it myself with a little good ol' American ingenuity and this thing called the "Internet".

I know all those names but one, even Bam Margera's uncle. I wonder what this means about me..

"...'pranksters' wrapped Karl Rove's car in plastic wrap and adorned (it) w/ stuffed animals and an 'I love Barack Obama' bumper sticker while it was parked on the driveway near the West Wing of the White House."

The joke would have been funnier, had the "pranksters" called in a precision military air strike to "customize" Rove's ride.

LOVE the prank on Karl Rove! Heh heh.

I feel like sending Bridget Moynahan flowers for naming her child something so nice and real and normal. How very refreshing!

Scientolocult camp? Where's Nicole Kidman? Thought she disagreed with that stuff ...

Bridget is probably going to call the child "Jet", however, thus undoing all normalcy.
