Eminem fires back at Mariah Carey, claims he has ‘pictures’
Here’s a lesson: diss the Detroit rapper that disses everyone and you will get double dog dissed.
Eminem drops kicks Mariah Carey and new hubby Nick Cannon in a response song to her latest hit.
In the newly released song, “The Warning,” the rapper reveals all sort of naughtiness about his alleged 2001 sexapades with Mariah. She has denied any kinky business ever went on.
Click here to listen to the song, but note it is very explicit.
“I got enough dirty on you to murder you,” he raps in one of the more clean parts of the song. “Mariah, did it ever occur to you that I still have pictures.”
Earlier this year, Cannon blasted Eminem’s derogatory lyrics against Mariah in the song “Bagpipes From Baghdad.”
“Homeboy is still obsessed with my wife,” he said in a May blog posting.
Mariah does the firing (sort of) in the new song “Obsessed.” Trust me it is bubble gum compared to Emimem’s offering.
In the video, M plays Eminem as a creepy little obsessed dude with a goatee. She calls him delusional liar.
Best line: “You’re a mom and pop I am a corporation.”
Wow Mariah, you really told him off.
What do you think?

TweetMichael Jackson’s mother gets custody of his kids
The battle between Michael Jackson’s family and his ex-wife appears to be over.
Katherine Jackson has been granted custody of his children. Debbie Rowe will get visitation of the older two children, according to an interview aired on the CBS Early Show.
The women have been battling it out for the children since the King of Pop’s sudden death last month. Things have been pretty nasty.
There were even seemingly bogus reports that Rowe had ‘sold’ the children to Katherine Jackson.
Rowe won’t get any money as part of the resolution, CBS says.
“It’s an agreement, an agreement for the best interests of the children. This is not a money deal. This is not about money,L. Londell McMillan, Katherine Jackson’s lawyer, told CBS.
Debbie Rowe bore Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, 12, and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11, for the King of Pop. His 7-year-old “Blanket” Prince Michael Jackson II was conceived by vitro.
Just wonder how much Joe will be in the picture?

TweetAmerican beer brewers hopping mad (sort of) about ‘Beer Summit’ menu
All of the ills caused by America’s racist past will be healed tonight, July 30, during “Beer Summit 09.” Well, not exactly.
But three dudes - a president, a Harvard professor and a Cambridge, Mass. cop - will get together and do what dudes do best, drink brew and talk about long-standing tension between black people and police.
The beer summit has it critics to be sure. Among them are American beer brewers some what ticked their products won’t be on tap.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Genesee Brewery said they were pleased the president was breaking bread with beer, but said: “We just hope the next time the President has a beer, he chooses an American beer, made by American workers, and an American-owned brewery like Genesee.”
President Obama will have a low carb Bub Light, which was American born before going foreign.
Last year the company was bought by a Belgian-Brazilian company now known as Anseuser-Busch InBev NV.
Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. will drink down a Red Stripe from London-based Diageo PLC. Sgt. James Crowley said he’d prefer a Blue Moon. That brew is mostly owned by London-based SABMiller.
Obama called the fellas to the summit to bring an end to the controversy that has distracted attention away from his plans for a health insurance reform.
Obama was drawn to the middle of this mess during a press conference last week on that issue. During the press conference, he called Gates’ arrest stupid.
The professor was arrested for disorderly conduct after being questioned about a reported break in at his own home.
“Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof he was in own home,” Obama said during the press conference.

TweetMadonna’s freaky arms causing a frenzy
The last thing you want to do after eating a juicy hamburger at CoCo’s Bistro is to get into a discussion about the rather ‘beef-like’ quality of Madonna’s arms.
One esteemed journalist told me that Madonna has “cadaver arms.”
Images of the Bodies: The Exhibition danced in my head as we talked.
The mom of, I don’t know, 100 is once again causing a stir from those who say she’s taken this working out thing a little too far.
One particular photo of the 50-year-old leaving a London restaurant with her 22-year-old boy toy is causing tails to wag at the sight of bulging veins and super defined muscles.
Everyone from CBS News to the UK’s Telegraph are wondering if the Material Girl should perhaps eat a few french fries and lay off the weights.
In a segment on exercise, Thursday, July 29, CBS “Early Show” host Maggie Rodriguez told Madonna’s personal trainer Tracy Anderson that Madonna’s arms look “down right scary” in the photo.
Anderson said Madonna’s arms don’t look like they are shown in the photo, adding that the legendary mega star has a beautiful bod and looks like an 18-year-old.
“She’s strong, healthy, gorgeous,” Anderson says, adding that Madonna doesn’t overdo it at the gym.
Rodriguez acknowledged that Madonna’s arms didn’t look that way in other photos snapped around the same time. Rodriguez is right. ( see photo above).
“Who knows, maybe it was the angle,” Rodriguez said.
Madonna is having a heck of a summer. Her pal Michael Jackson is dead. Her stage killed a french guy and her fiendish ex is selling her love letters and naughty phone messages.

TweetMJ’s doctor admits he gave star drugs that may have killed him. Agents search doctor’s home
It maybe even more likely that the law’s anvil will soon bop Dr. Conrad Murray on the noggin.
Los Angeles police and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents searched Murray’s sprawling Las Vegas home and medical office on Tuesday, July 28, presumingly seeking documents as part of a manslaughter investigation into Michael Jackson’s death last month, the Associated Press reports.
Read well researched article here.
Conrad, a cardiologist, is the doctor who unsuccessfully tried to revive Michael Jackson with CPR. The King of Pop died June 25.
In fact, Murray said he gave Jackson propofol the day he died and had administered the drug several times previously to help Jackson sleep.
The powerful anesthetic was found in Jackson’s rented Los Angeles mansion. Word is that there was also an IV stand and oxygen tank.

TweetKim Kardashian and Reggie Bush a couple no more
One saint no longer marches for Kim Kardashian.
The reality TV star and New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bushhave ended the relationship they started in 2007, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The ESPN video below, a sort of “Newywed Game” spoof, might give a few clues why the couple now owns a ranch home in Splitsville.
In it, one of Bush’s teammates mentions how Kardashian and Bush never see each other. Still Kim won the challenge.
Kardashian and Bush were a cute for sure, but they apparently barely saw each other.
Her rep confirmed the break up Monday, July 27, to E News.
“They love each other a lot and hope someday they can make it work,” the source told E. “But for now, he starts his football season this week and Kim starts filming season four of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and they just need this time apart.”

TweetWinehouse beats charges with “too short defense”
You laughed at her defense, but maybe Amy Winehouse was too short to pop a dancer in the eye.
The bodacious, beehived Brit beat charges Friday, July 24, that she decked dancer Sherene Flash in the eye after the fan asked to take her picture following a charity ball in September, the Associated Press said.
One Wednesday, the scrappy soul singer said she was too tiny to have done the crime.
You know, if the arms don’t reach, you must not impeach.
Winehouse, who is about 5 foot 2 ½, told the court Flash was intimidating and all up in her personal space. She flung her hand to shoo the 5 foot 7 inch dancer away.
The judge said he could not be sure the blow had been deliberate, the AP said.

TweetMichael Jackson’s doctor target of manslaughter investigation
Seems Michael Jackson’s personal physician may soon be in bad trouble.
Conrad Murray is officially the the target of a manslaughter investigation.
A search was filed Thursday, July 23, allowing authorities to seek “property or items constituting evidence of the offense of manslaughter that tend to show that Dr. Conrad Murray committed the said criminal offense,” the Associated Press reports.
Conrad, a cardiologist, is the doctor who unsuccessfully tried to revive Michael Jackson with CPR. The King of Pop died June 25.
The powerful anesthetic propofol was found in Jackson’s rented Los Angeles mansion. The Los Angeles Times says there was also an IV stand and oxygen tank.
MJ’s family suspects foul play.

Tweet“Milkshake” singer brings baby to the world, gets $44,000 a month support settlement
It has been a very good two days for hip hop singer Kelis.
She welcomed a baby into the world on Wednesday, July 22, and today, was awarded a $44,000 a month in support payments.
A judge ordered her estranged husband, the rapper/ actor Nas, to pay the loot for the near future, the Associated Press reports.
Best known for the hit single “Milkshake,” Kelis, 29, filed for divorce from the rapper in April.
The pair have been fighting for months over support. Kelis contended that Nas barely contributed anything to the costs of her pregnancy.
Nas’ camp tried to play it cheap in court.
His attorney asked the judge if the rapper could pay Kelis $20,000 until an appropriate spousal and child support amount could be set.
On the baby front, Kelis, who was in labor three days, is doing well, her spokeswoman told the Associated Press.
She tweeted about the birth of baby Knight, her first child, earlier today.
“Ok so I did it, he’s 7.8 pounds of the greatest stuff on earth,” she posted on Twitter, a social network.

TweetAmy Winehouse in court for punching fan
Amy Winehouse has gotten rid her Blake, but not her troubles.
The beehive-wearing British singer appeared in a London court today, Thursday, July 23, to answer charges that she punched a fan in September.
Winehouse told the court she was too short to punch her accuser, Dancer Sherene Flash, in the face, the Associated Press reports.
Maybe, but we all know that short gals can punch tall - tiny but deadly.
The alleged punch happened after the dancer asked to take Winehouse’s photo at a September charity ball.
That was apparently too much for the soul singer to handle. She freaked.
“I pushed her up, like away. I wanted her away from me,” the 25-year-old “Back to Black” singer said. “It was more like an indication of ‘leave me alone, I’m scared of you.’”
Winehouse was granted a divorce from her crazy husband Blake Fielder-Civil a week ago.
This isn’t the only time Winehouse has been accused of throwing punches. See video of her apparently punching a fan during her set at Glastonbury 08.

TweetIs Jon Gosselin robbing the cradle?
From Laura Houser, Staff Writer
Maybe neither Jon nor Kate deserve our sympathy.
Both have ‘issues’ and both seem to be trying to milk this thing.
Last week, Jon, 32, announced he was teaming up with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier to design a children clothing line … and will be using his own children as models.
Putting aside Jon’s questionable fashion tastes, or the clothing’s potential as a platform for revenge (“Mommy is a Heartless Shrew” onesies, anyone?), the move cements Jon’s scummy role in all this mess.
But is he worse than Kate?
I mean, Kate is pretty despised right now.
Christian book publisher Zondervan has put the brakes on her cookbook “Love Is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories.”
The Los Angeles Time suggests that maybe, just maybe there ‘isn’t quite as ravenous an appetite now for ‘an inside look at one of America’s most close-knit families’.”
Both Jon and Kate have gotten a good share of criticism from the “Jon & Kate Plus Eight” nation.
Some say Jon Gosselin is an adulterer and robbing the cradle with Hailey Glassman, his ‘new’ 22-year-old girlfriend (see poll below).
Others diss Kate for her nasty verbal abuse of Jon.
So, who is exploiting their ill-begotten fame more, and how long do you think the attention will last?

TweetObama says Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting black scholar
Call him crazy, but President Barack Obama thinks it is wrong to have arrested someone for disorderly conduct after accusing them of breaking into their own house.
Obama responded Wednesday, July 22, to the Cambridge, Mass. police’s arrest last week of Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.
“Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof he was in own home,” Obama said during a prime-time news conference that otherwise focused on the health care debate.
Read Associated Press story here.
Gates’ arrest followed a report of a possible burglary. A woman apparently saw Gates force the front door and called police. Police came and demanded that Gates show identification.
Gates was arrested shortly afterward for alleged disorderly conduct, a charge that was dropped Tuesday.
Obama acknowledged that he and Gates are friends and that he doesn’t know every detail of the case.
He said police acted correctly in confronting Gates - the professor apparently forgot his keys and was jimmying his door. But the president, who joked that even he’d get shot if caught trying to force his way into the White House, said the arrest seemed an example of a larger racial problem.
“There is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionally,” he said during the conference. “That’s just a fact.”
The police have apologized, calling the whole thing “regrettable and unfortunate.”
In a column written by his daughter, Gates, one of the nation’s most well-known African American scholars, calls the account of his arrest in the police report ‘pure fabrication.’
In the report, Gates, a PBS regular, is described as “loud and tumultuous,” according to the posting “My Daddy, the Jailbird” on The Daily Beast by Elizabeth Gates.
Gates said there are both good and bad police officers.
” We depend on the police—I’m glad that this lady called 911. I hope right now if someone is breaking into my house she’s calling 911 and the police will come! I just don’t want to be arrested for being black at home! I think this was a bit of an extreme reaction,” he said in the posting.

TweetLo siento Taco Bell! Famed pitch chihuahua dies
Sometimes all a company needs is a good tagline.
Gidget the Chihuahua provided Taco Bell just that (sort of) with “Yo Quiero Taco Bell.”
The pint-size pouch went to doggie heaven Tuesday, July 21, after suffering a stroke, according to an article published on People Pets.
She was 15 and that’s pretty old for a dog.
“She made so many people happy,” Gidget’s trainer, Sue Chipperton, told the People Pets. When she’s on a set, she comes alive.”
Often dressed as a Mexican revolutionary in the Taco Bell ads, Gidget also helped make her breed a household name in this country.
Of course she didn’t do it all by herself.
Newsflash: dogs can’t really talk.
Gidget’s character was voiced by actor Carlos Alazraqui in the Taco Bell ads.
Although her big break came with fast food, Gidget had a career many human actors would kill to possess. She starred in “Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blond” with Reese Witherspoon.
Gidget played Bruiser’s mom.
“Viva Gorditas!”

TweetBaldwin brother bankrupt
Being a Baldwin Brother isn’t as bankable as you might guess.
Stephen Baldwin, the third most handsome Baldwin in my humble opinion, is millions of dollars in debt and has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to reports from the Associated Press.
He’s not the crazy one - most kooky goes to Daniel Baldwin - but Stephen is very odd indeed.
He did after all baptize Spencer Pratt in the jungles of Costa Rican.
A federal court filing Tuesday, July 21, shows that Baldwin and his wife owes $1.2 million in two mortgages on a property about 30 miles north of New York City valued at $1.1 million.
The document shows he also owes more than $1 million in taxes and has about $70,000 in credit card debt.
This maybe explains why he signed up to appear on “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!”

TweetSecond Michael Jackson autopsy reveals needle marks lethal amount of drugs
The results of the second autopsy on Michael Jackson’s body do not reveal a smoking gun, according to E News.
The Jackson family ordered second autopsy came after the one performed by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
The coroner’s office said last week that it will take up to two additional weeks before Jackson’s full autopsy report is complete, the Associated Press said.
But investigators have confirmed that Jackson was taking an assortment of prescription drugs when he died June 25.
E News says it has spoken with a source with knowledge of both autopsies.
The second autopsy results are similar to the findings from the first, it reports.
Jackson’s body had needle marks and a potentially lethal amount of propofol, a drug used to make patients semiconscious.
Police found that powerful anesthetic in Jackson’s home after his death June 25.
Joe Jackson and other Jackson family members have said they believe foul play was involved in his death.
La Toya Jackson told the UK’s Daily Mail that her brother was murdered.
She says Michael Jackson’s entourage cut him off from her family.
‘Less than a month ago, I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn’t have his best interests at heart,” she tells the newspaper. ‘Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them.”

Tweet“Burn Notice” hottie arrested for suspected DUI
Only the chosen few can look smokin’ in a police mug shot. Jeffrey Donovan didn’t pull a ‘James Brown,’ but he has definitely looked hotter.

The 41-year-old plays Michael Westen on the popular USA Network show. He was released in lieu of bail after several hours.
Donovan is not among the biggest names in Hollywood, but he’s had a good amount of success.
He has appeared on numerous TV shows and with Angelina Jolie in the 2008 film “Changeling.”

TweetChris Brown apologizes for attack on Rihanna
R&B singer Chris Brown says he is sorry for the attack on Rihanna that landed him on probation.
“I am very sad and very ashamed of what I’ve done,” Brown says in a video message posted on his YouTube.com page. “My mother and spiritual teachers have taught me way better than that. I have told Rihanna countless times and I am telling you today that I am truly, truly sorry.”
Brown said that until the incident he had tried to live his life in a way that would make those around him proud. He said he wishes he could change the past.
“Unfortunately I can’t,” he said. “I can’t go into what happen and most importantly I am not going to sit here and make any excuses. I take great pride in me being able to exercise self-control and what I did was inexcusable.”
Brown is serving a five months probation sentence for the assault on the pop princess in February.
Is saying I’m sorry enough?

TweetMichael Vick freed from federal custody. Was he punished enough?
Former NFL star and noted dogfighter Michael Vick is for the most part a free man.
The former Falcon was released from federal custody today, June 20, and no longer has to wear a less-than-stylish electronic monitor.
He wore an ankle bracelet while under home confinement for the last two months of his 23-month sentence for dog fighting.
Vick, who was cute enough before we learned he killed all those dogs, will remain on probation for three years.
He also is under a three-year suspended sentence for a state dog fighting conviction.
Once the highest paid player in the NFL (that’s part made him even cuter), Vick is expected to try to get back into the game.

TweetSource says Jon Gosselin was not cheating on wife before divorce filed
Maybe Jon Gosselin is not as slimy as first thought.
The “Jon & Kate Plus Eight” star was “totally heartbroken” and not cheating when his wife Kate told him to hit the bricks back in May, according to People Magazine.
A People source claims that Jon didn’t start dating Haily Glassman, Kate’s plastic surgeon’s 22-year-old daughter, until Kate filed divorce papers June 20.
The Gosselins told the world they were splitting up on Monday, June 22.
If the source’s story is true - seems a little iffy, but miracles can happen ( Tell us what you think. Take our poll ) - maybe the other reports romantically linking Jon to other ‘lady friends’ are bogus.
The source says there was no sexual shenanigans between Jon and 23-year-old teacher Deanna Hummer.

TweetDoes video of MJ’s hair catching fire change your mind? Watch video here
We all knew Michael Jackson was hurt during the shooting of a 1984 Pepsi commercial.
It has been the set up or punch line to thousands of jokes since it happened. I am sure you’ve heard “Tito my hair is on fire” a few times indeed.
But jeez, who knew Michael Jackson’s injuries were this shocking.
Us Weekly magazine has obtained what it says is a video of never-before-seen footage of Michael Jackson’s head catching on fire.
Read Associated Press story here.
The accident, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, came at the height of Jackson’s fame.
It is sited by many as the start of his life with physical pain and addiction to painkillers. Jackson died last month.
Does the video change your opinion of Michael Jackson or the pain he may have suffered?

TweetReport: Debbie Rowe gives up MJ’s kids for $4 million
UPDATE:
Debbie Rowe’s lawyer tells People.com that reports that she’ll give up rights to her children for $4 million are bogus. “There has been no agreement reached between Ms. Rowe and the Jacksons,” says lawyer Eric George wrote in a statement reported on People.com. “Ms. Rowe has not accepted and will not accept any additional financial consideration beyond the spousal support she and Michael personally agreed to several years ago.”Earlier ….
In today’s sick MJ news, The New York Post has reported that Debbie Rowe has sold her kids to Michael Jackson’s mother.
The newspaper reports that Michael Jackson’s not-so-attractive-in-the-face ex-wife has agreed to drop her bid for parental rights in exchange for $4 million.
Isn’t that just wonderful. No.
The deal has apparently been sealed in a Los Angeles court. Let’s just hope this story isn’t true. As a general rule people shouldn’t go around selling and buying kids, even cute royal ones.
Debbie Rowe bore Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, 12, and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11, for the King of Pop.
His 7-year-old “Blanket” Prince Michael Jackson II was conceived by vitro.
There has been speculation that Rowe is not the natural mother of the two oldest kids.
Katherine Jackson, perhaps the most sane Jackson, has temporary custody of all three of her son’s kids.
This isn’t the first time Rowe has agreed to buzz off for cold hard cash.
Rowe reportedly gave up custody of the kids when she divorced Jackson in 1999. As part of the settlement, she received $8 million and a house in Beverly Hills. She terminated her parental rights in 2001.
Rowe came back into the picture during Michael Jackson’s child molestation case. For the second time, she agreed to give Jackson full custody of the kids.
That time, MJ gave her $4 million and a $900,000 house in exchange, the UK Sun reports.

It will keep him hosting “American Idol” through 2012 as well as participating in new projects.

TweetGLAAD not happy with Bruno, what do you think?
Bruno may have won over the movie going public, but not everyone is laughing.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is not so happy with Sacha Baron Cohen and his film.
GLAAD says Bruno, which follows the adventures of a gay Austrian fashionista, reinforces negative stereotypes and “decreases the public’s comfort with gay people.”
It says some of the movie’s scenes take the joke way too far, the Associated Press reports.
In one scene Bruno hot tubs it up with his adopted African son and naked men involved in a sex act.
“Scenes like that don’t help America understand the hundreds of thousands of gay families who get up every day, do the carpool then rush home to make dinner and be with their children,” GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios says.
What do you think?
Is GLAAD overreacting or are they on to something? Take our poll above.

TweetJoe Jackson wants to raise King of Pop’s kids, family suspects foul play in singer’s death
In an interview set to air Tuesday, July 14,Joe Jackson tells ABC’s Chris Connelly that both he and his estranged wife Katherine are the best people to raise the King of Pop’s three kid.
“There no one else we can do what we can do for them,” Joe Jackson, who has been accused of abusing Michael Jackson and his siblings, said.
The 79-year-old Jackson family patriarch in a video preview posted on abcnews.go.com, tells Connelly that Prince Michael I, 12; Paris Michael Katherine, 11; and Prince “Blanket” Michael II, 7, should remain with the family.
“Keep them all together and make them happy,” Joe Jackson says. “Feed them like they are suppose to be feed, let them get rest, plenty of sleep and let them grow up to be strong Jacksons. “
Katherine Jackson has temporary guardianship of Michael Jackson’s children.
Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson’s ex-wife and the mother of the two oldest kids, has expressed an interest in taking custody of all three children.
Joe Jackson goes on to tell ABC that he was stunned by his son’s sudden death June 25.
He says he expects foul play.
La Toya Jackson has even stronger feelings about the matter.
She tells the UK’s Daily Mail that her brother was murdered.
She says Michael Jackson’s entourage cut him off from her family.
‘Less than a month ago, I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn’t have his best interests at heart,” she tells the newspaper. ‘Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them.”

TweetPyrotechnic bras and higher than the heavens stilettos sending Lady Gaga to the poor house

TweetActor moving into Plexiglas box above Madison Square Garden
Actor David Arquette is moving out of the fancy pants home he shares with wife Courtney Cox and into less fab digs above Madison Square Garden.
Arquette, a members of the Arquette acting family, plans to stay in a Plexiglas box Tuesday and Wednesday - July 14 and 15 - to raise $250,000 for Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief charity.
But he won’t be posted above Madison Square Garden all night long. Oh no. The 37-year-old will only be boxed in eight hours each day and he’ll have access to food of all things, the Associated Press says.
Arquette starred in “Scream” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

TweetWhere in the world is Michael Jackson’s body
It seems Michael Jackson’s body has something in common with fictional chick detective Carmen San Diego and real-life talk show host Matt Lauer.
People have made a game of trying to figure out where in the world the King of Pop’s remains are being kept.
The New York Post says it knows.
The newspaper says the body is stored in Motown founder Berry Gordy’s crypt because Jackson’s family is fighting over his loot.
Jackson and his gold-plate casket are in the Forest Lawn Cemetery crypt that Gordy bought for his own family in Hollywood Hills, it says.
Oh, and the Post says the body doesn’t have a brain. The coroner kept that for testing.
Super creepy.
What do you think? Do you believe this story? If you were to guess, where would you say his body is being kept?
I think it is in Vermont. No reason.

TweetRubber face actor to be grandpa
Actor Jim Carrey is expecting his first grandchild, OK! Magazine reports Friday, July 10.
Let’s just hope he doesn’t steal the baby like he stole Christmas in the 2000 movie “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” or plot against the tike like he did to the kids in 2004’s “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events.”
Carrey’s 21-year-old daughter Jane and her musician boyfriend are having the tot, OK! said.
The babe is sure to get some great bedtime stories from grampy Jim who became famous playing characters like Vera De Milo on “In Living Color.”
In case you’re wondering, Carrey, who is known to stretch his face in the most peculiar ways, is dating actress Jenny McCarthy, also a shape shifter of sorts.
What kind of grandpa do you think Jim Carrey will make?

TweetDiana Krall stopped by Carillon Park before heading to Fraze
From Martin Gottlieb, Staff Writer
If you saw a striking blonde with twins toddlers at or near Carillon Park on Tuesday, feel free to assume it was Diana Krall. The piano-playing, combo-leading jazz chanteuse was appearing that night at the Fraze Pavilion.
Were you spotted at the Diana Krall concert?
At the Fraze, she drew a big crowd of people who apparently didn’t mind missing all the Michael Jackson stuff on television. She came on stage wearing sunglasses, but it apparently wasn’t a jazz thing, just a sun thing. It was beautiful evening. She said she and the combo weren’t used to sun. Ultimately, the shades came off.
She told the crowd that she had been in Dayton long enough to see “quite a bit.” When she had asked at the Marriott Hotel about a park to bring the kids to, she was told about the Carillon being “across the street.”
With some exaggeration, no doubt, she said that she was still looking a half hour later, having set out on a walk.
However, she was enthusiastic about Culp’s Cafe at the park, recommending several items.
Then, the Culps subject having passed, but the Dayton subject still being in the air, she said to the crowd, “I was going to tell you something else, but I decided not to.” Hmmm.
By the way, the kids’ dad, Elvis Costello, is appearing later in the summer at the Fraze - at EXACTLY the same ticket prices.

Tweet‘Wrestler’ actor accused of beating college kid with velvet rope
Here’s a tip college kids: when a tough as nails doorman/actor/ Blackberry commercial guy tells you to ‘shut the $#@$# up’ and ‘Get the &$%^ out of here,’ you should probably listen.
Wass Stevens, who starred as Nicolas Cage’s brother in “World Trade Center” and appeared in the “Wrestler” with Mickey Rourke, has been charged with attacking a college kid with the metal end of a velvet rope, Page Six reports.
University of California at San Diego student Peter Pak wanted to take his engaged friend inside of Avenue in New York, but Stevens, the club’s popular doorman, was not having it, Page Six said.
An argument broke out and Pak and his friend did not ‘get the $%$$ out of there’ as instructed.
“(Stevens) lifted the rope and tossed the end metal part at my face,” Pak told Page Six. “My head cracked and I fell to the ground. I had to go to the hospital for a CAT scan. There was no internal damage but I had huge blaring headaches.”
Stevens, a 45-year-old former boxer born as Mark Wasserman, was charged with assault and possession of a weapon. He was later released from jail. His lawyer says he’s innocent.
Stevens has many acting credits. Most importantly he’s the first actors in that Blackberry Curve “What if delivery guys ran the world?” commercial.
He has appeared on “Ugly Betty” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.” Stevens was Nick Volpe in the Wrestler and a drunk driver in some film called “Quality Time.” He’s a video store clerk in an upcoming film called the “Last Days of Summer” and will appear with Richard Gere’s upcoming flick “Brooklyn’s Finest.”

TweetCould Alec Baldwin be Ohio’s next governor?
Could Ohio handle a Gov. Jack Donaghy?
Actor Alec Baldwin has been courted at least a little bit to run for governor of Ohio, he tells Playboy Magazine in the July/August issue.
See, some people do read the skin mag for the articles.
Playboy asked about the likelihood he’ll run for office.
The hotheaded bad boy said the following:
“I’ll put it this way. The desire is there; that’s one component. The other component is opportunity. A law firm in a liberal Democratic bastion in Ohio state politics sent me a binder with a cover letter that read, ‘Mr. Baldwin, here’s who we represent, the kinds of cases we handle, our credentials in Ohio state politics. We want you to move to Ohio and run for governor. We will launch your career.’”
It would be sort of cool to have a governor willing to call the state representatives rude, thoughtless little pigs. (Hear audio below of Baldwin yelling at his kid.)
But hold the phone “30 Rock” fans (Baldwin plays Jack Donaghy on that show).
When asked if he could live in Ohio, Baldwin brings up New Jersey and Connecticut and starts talking about senators and congressmen.
“I’d love to run against Joe Lieberman. I have no use for him. But it’s all fantasy. I’m a carry-me-out-in-a-box New Yorker,” he tells Playboy.

TweetWhat do you think Sarah Palin will do next?
Everyone’s favorite pitbull hockey mom (OK, not everyone’s) announced Friday, July 3, that she’s leaving the governor’s office in Alaska and won’t seek reelection.
This whole thing has left political-types scratching their heads and wondering what the heck Sarah Palin is up to and what will happen to her lipstick.
According to the Associated Press, the former Republican vice presidential candidate hinted about her future in a message on Facebook.com.
“I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint.”
What does it all mean?
Will Palin run for president in 2012?
Will she join the cast of “The View?”
Will she hunt moose and caribou full-time?
Will she shop, shop, shop until she drops, drops, drops?
Will she become a time traveler?
Will she end up in Congress?
Will she ‘get’ Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin’s baby daddy, when he least expects it?
What do you think Palin’s next move will be?

TweetDoes Magazine’s cover photo of Michael Jackson’s death go too far?
OK! Magazine paid top dollars for a photo of the King of Pop dead or dying, but should they have made it the cover shot of this week’s magazine?
The celebrity magazine is catching more than a little flak for doing just that.
Gawker.com and other sources say OK! paid $500,000 for the photo of Michael Jackson apparently taken as he laid dying or dead Thursday, June 25.
Maybe that’s why they they figured they could do what they wanted with it. But seriously, do we really need to see a dead man while standing in line to buy eggs and Slim Jims?
What the heck?
In other MJ news, Jermaine Jackson told the Today Show’s Matt Lauer that he wishes he had died instead of his brother.
“I always felt I was his backbone,” an emotional Jermaine Jackson says, adding that he always tried to protect his brother.

So sorry pre-teen ladies.
It looks like one of the Jonas Brothers will be off of the market soon.
