The drastic celebrity weight changes link scared me. Who ate Val Kilmer?!?

Emma Watson "only got her hands on the money after agreeing to enrol on a crash course on being a multi-millionaire"?

A 'crash course'? Didn't she know the money was coming? Did no-one tell her that her little movie hobby had paid off?

Pete Wentz said of the rumours of Ashlee's knockedupness that "there is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood."

So is the pregnancy test the one with the drowning or the one with the burning?

(Python fans may complete The Logician Sketch at their leisure.)

Noel Gallagher of Oasis blames Jay-Zed for poor ticket sales at Glastonbury.

"Gallagher, whose band headlined the festival in 1995 and 2004, said rap was to blame."

"....He explained that the inclusion of a hip-hop act went against the festival's tradition of guitar music, adding: "I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. No way. No. It's wrong.""

I imagine the audience are looking forward to a 22-minute-long jam of "Champagne Supernover," followed by Liam and Noel breaking guitars and microphone stands over one another's heads, then.

re: Brigitte Bardot on trial for the fifth time on charges of "inciting racial hatred" -

All in favour of changing her name from "Brigitte Bardot" to "B*tch, Be Quiet," raise your hands.

Does she weigh more than a duck?

I am definitely getting the Cosby album to add to my Shatner albums

in last nights real housewives I loved the where are the now, Best part: alex's kid ended up in public school

Notwithstanding that Debbie Gibson is pregnant with my two-headed love child (it's a bigfoot baby, all covered in fur, now), the picture of her that accompanies the story is boil-your-own-eyes-in-hot-oil frightening.

Best part of that otherwise uninteresting item on Naomi Campbell: "Campbell often visits Brazil, and Rio Mayor Cesar Maia has invited her to be a goodwill ambassador for the city."

Goodwill? Really?

The wealth management course Emma Watson took looked very serious. Just the kind of thing all new celebrities, professional atheletes, and musicians should learn. Maybe LiLo wouldn't be broke after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on hotel suites if she had some basic education about money.

h3, your "Goodwill? Really?" simultaneously put two images in my head (split-screen, not picture-in-picture).

1: Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler doing their "Really?" schtick during the SNL news.

2: People landing at the airport in Rio and being beaten about their heads by redcaps wielding phones as they attempt to retrieve their luggage from the conveyor.

fun fsct: Chrissie Hynde is a vegetarian, too. That helps keep you looking young.

Brooklyn -

I loved that too. They were all sort of like, "Jill continues to shop." haha. I'm so sad that show is ending. At least we have the reunion to look forward to. What's up with Ramona???

Per Emma Watson - I'm sure she knew her fortune was coming. But between her filming schedule and young age, I'm guessing there hasn't been time to sit her down and tell her about the issues that come with maintaining wealth. I say "Bravo" to her parents (as well as Daniel Radcliffe's and Rupert Grint's) for not treating their children like piggy banks.

And Chrissie Hynde is my new hero. I was never a huge Pretenders fan or anything, but I say, yes, she is aging well.

I heart the parents of Emma Watson for acting like parents instead of acting like a media parasite (ala Dina Lohan).

OK, since no one else will mention it, but what the f**k is up with Evan Rachel Wood? What happened to that sweet little girl from that show with the divorced mother dating that guy?

C'mon, you know you all love dina "white oprah" lohan! if we didnt have her to talk smack against, who else could we snark at?

Wow, I thought stalkers were getting desperate, until I read the thing about Heather Mills determined to buy homes near Paul McCartney.

What happened to Evan Rachel Wood is Marilyn Manson. Why she is dating that creep is beyond me. She went goth just like Rose McGowen did while dating him.

Liz Kelly,

Given that yesterday's Morning Mix was called "Ashlee Simpson Not Preg, Says Boyfriend" and today's was called "Sources Say Ashlee Simpson IS Pregnant," can we just go ahead and assume tomorrow's will be called, "Is NOT! Is TOO! Is NOT! Is TOO!"?

I think that would be fun.

Liz, just wanted to give you a, "Let's Go! Hokies!" on our day of rememberance.

We are Virginia Tech!

But - Chrissie Hynde ALWAYS looked like this - she looked old and bad for her age for years. Now her age has finally caught up to her appearance, and she looks good for her age. She grew into her looks! Finally!

Chrissie has her own teeth? Really?

Byoolin - pretty much exactly what I was thinking about "Goodwill? Really?" And I would like to add: What, Rio doesn't have enough problems already?

And when Evan Rachel Wood finally breaks up with Marilyn Manson, she'll go back to looking normal. Certainly Rose McGowan did. Check her out on TCM's "The Essentials" -- she always looks classy and fabulous. And sounds shockingly intelligent to boot.

honestly, i dont know who is worse - white oprah or lohan's dad.

Burn her!

That's Deborah, not Debbie, Gibson. Tsk tsk.

"Shockingly intelligent" considering she dated Marilyn Manson!

I know someone who dated Marilyn Manson (before he was famous) and she claims he is rather well endowed.

But isn't that what they always say to try and convince us it wasn't some sort of temporary insanity.

I actually heard Marilyn Manson on Howard Stern's show a few years ago and he sounded more or less normal and intelligent. I thought at the time I might even consider dating him -- if I didn't have to, well, look at him. Maybe it isn't so much temporary insanity as temporary blindness.

Cold-blooded Naomi Campbell seeks to cure Brazillian Dengue Fever patients.

Sounds like a plan to me!

But considering she had her surgery (to remove an abdominal cyst) in Brazil just four weeks ago, if they're refusing her blood now, they seem to be awaiting some sort of biopsy results. Clearly, there is no doctor-patient confidentiality in Brazil. Once Naomi figures this out, boy will she be steamed!

Re The Life Before Her Eyes, I heard an interview with Uma Thurman yesterday. I never realized what a lovely voice she has--I've always been distracted by her looks (sorry--she does look odd). But her voice is rich and warm with a lovely timber.

Darn you byoolin! I wasn't even going to read the Debbie/Deborah Gibson story until you mentioned the photo. Those cheeks! Did she have baseballs implanted in them or is she storing food for the winter?

And anyway, if you were going to stalk someone, why her? I'd aim a little higher. At least Tiffany or Stacey Q. Andrea McArdle maybe.

But Debbie/Deborah? Only in her dreams! (Hee hee.)

Sappho: unless she sounds like a tree, that would be "timbre"

Maybe she does sound like a tree, after all if Uma gives an interview and no one is there to hear it does she make a sound?

Not sure but I thought I heard someone shouting, "Timber!"

tree or no tree, sound or no sound, she will never be insouciant.

Have to disagree with Amelia. Chrissie may not have been traditionally pretty, but I always thought she was hot and more sexy than most of the women rockers of that era. Maybe you should do a lil' You Tubing and reconsider.

" Chrissie has her own teeth? Really?"
Well she did live in England, having your own teeth past age 10 is a big deal there.

"I imagine the audience are looking forward to a 22-minute-long jam of "Champagne Supernover," followed by Liam and Noel breaking guitars and microphone stands over one another's heads, then."
Hey, come for the music, stay for the fight. Heh. Noel's voice might've been the reason for low ticket sales. I love Oasis in small doses, but more than a song or two at a time and his nasal, incredibly flat voice gives me a headache.

"2: People landing at the airport in Rio and being beaten about their heads by redcaps wielding phones as they attempt to retrieve their luggage from the conveyor."
If they're allowed to fight back they might not mind. I know there are several thousand US passengers who would love some time alone with a few airline presidents and a baseball bat.

"A source close to Miss Watson said: 'It was Emma parents Chris and Jacqueline who enrolled her at Coutts in the first place. The idea is for the money to grow and safeguard her future - not be blown in a couple of years of high-living."
Can they get that program going over here? Then we can be spared things like "Secret Talents of the Has-beens...er, Stars!! Seriously though, good for her parents.

"'The first day started with a one-hour lesson on spending and budgeting. There was another half hour on 'what is compound interest.
Then they had a history of the city lesson and a tour of the bank vaults. She had a lesson in basic economic lessons and terms - boom and bust cycles basically - and a talk on 'what are interest rates?'.

Considering the financial news, this should be a mandatory course in the US.

"'Day three was all about self-branding. There was an hour-long seminar about reputational risk - why you shouldn't fall out of a nightclub looking drunk for example by a speaker from a prominent PR agency."

This should be showing on the video screens in every club in Hollywood.

That pic of Deborah Gibson was indeed scary, she looked plastic! But it's also almost 5 years old. Hopefully somebody showed her that picture and she's tried hard ever since not to look like that.
