Dear Ted:
I follow you every day online but with all this Robsten thing going on and now the two Taylors rumors, it makes me think about the move America’s Sweethearts. Is it really…

After weeks of disturbing testimony unveiled during the preliminary hearing, a judge has ruled that Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich will stand trial for the death of Anna Nicole Smith.

The defendants, who will be facing 23 total felonies, are due back on court on December 11th.

Let’s just cut the chase – Will Bette Midler be appearing in Sex and City 2?

No…and we’re totally bummed.

Bette finally set the records straight about her rumored cameo. Though she was seen recently strolling with Sarah Jessica Parker on set, she was only there for moral support – for her daughter, Sophie.

Bette explains: “My daughter was a PA on the movie. It was a big thrill for her. She had a great time. She loves the business.”

Oh well, maybe next time! There will be a Sex and the City 3, right?

RIGHT?!

The lies this douchebag tells!

After publicly denouncing he had any involvement whatsoever with the Octomom dating reality show, it’s now being reported that Jon Gosselin and his reps were corresponding about the show via e-mail with Elevator Productions.

Apparently his reps wanted the deets on the compensation, location, and what Homewrecking Hailey Glassman could contribute to the show!

WTF?

Elevator Productions are offering Jon $1 million plus all expenses paid!

The “vision” for the show was to have Hailey be upset that Jon was going on a blind-date with Nadya Suleman. The pair would then meet up at Octomom’s house and go on a date to “a local restaurant and movie or something.”

That’s a lot of money for Jon to turn down. We still think this could happen if his latest “reformed man” publicity stunt doesn’t pan out!

Obviously!

It seems Kate Hudson is trying to change A-Rod into someone less self-involved!

And that’s no easy feat considering what his ex has to say about him!!

“He was so vain,” says a former fling. “He had not one, but two painted portraits of himself as a centaur. You know, the half man, half horse figure? It was ridiculous.”

Seriously?!

Ewww!

That’s some pretty grandiose praise!

Sting firmly believes that President Barack Obama is the best man to deal with the world’s problems because he’s “genuine, very present, clearly super-smart, and exactly what we need in the world…because of his background, his education, particularly in regard to Islam.”

The British singer is very interested in American politics and had some choice words about the conservative side and those against Obama:

“It’s aggressive and violent and full of fear. They don’t want change, they want things to feel the same because they feel safe there. My hope is that we can start talking about real issues and not caring about whether God cares about your hemline or your color. We are here to evolve as one family, and we can’t be separate anymore.”

Smart man, that Sting!

This bitch is crazy!!!

Some of you may think your cat is ferocious, but unless it is half cheetah, like Bai Ling’s, you would be wrong.

Yes, Bai Ling has herself one mixed up feline. It’s a hybrid of a cheetah and a domestic house cat. We’re trying to decide which scenario is more plausible – genetic breeding or the cheetah eating the house cat after it sperminated her. However it happened, the point is it did, and Bai Ling just loves her little feline friend, Quiji, to pieces.

And Quiji may just be ripping Bai Ling to pieces, if she isn’t careful. She insists that the $30,000 cat in in no way a “wild danger,” but she does mention how the cat can get a little too close for comfort:

“I sleep naked … She was kissing me, and suddenly, she woke up. She saw my nipple, and oh my God, she went for it!” Bai says, laughing. “If I wasn’t fast, my nipple is gone. She thought it was a toy or something.”

What? You can laugh about that, you lunatic?! She could have ripped your whole tittay off! You would have been monetarily lopsided!

Not a good look!

You better just hope she doesn’t go for you face next!

Kelly Clarkson revealed in a new radio interview that she’s already begun working on her 5th studio album and says that it’s going to be “really different.”

Uh, oh. She’s made that mistake before! Remember the disaster that was My December?

Kelly also said she may not have time to write the whole album as she’s touring to promote her latest album All I Ever Wanted until March 2010.

“If I end up liking stuff that I’ve done then I’ll include it, but if I like other stuff better I’ll use that. Sometimes you’re just more inspired I guess, and sometimes if you have records that come ou really close together it might be more other people’s songs. Because there’s not enough time to write and sing and perform and do everything.”

It’s good to have others helping you, Kelly. Hopefully you can reach a happy medium, but make sure you heed your label’s advice!

You may not like it, but they know what they’re talking about!

Celebrities deal with all kinds of ghouls: fans, paparazzi, tabloid media (Hi!), D-Listers, agents, etc. But the spookiest? Stalkers. Certifiable crazies who can’t get enough of you. Literally. Everyone’s got one lately: JT, Ryan Seacrest, Miley Cyrus, and…Bret Easton Ellis?

Justin Timberlake’s stalker—surprisingly, not Brittney Spears—one Ms. Karen McNeil, was busted on Timberlake’s property last week. When asked to leave, she wouldn’t. So Timberlake danced out a restraining order on this psycho, who’d also tried to follow Axl Rose. Which is sad for Justin Timberlake’s publicist. So is the fact that, instead of just loving Justin, she’s apparently being possessed by witches. Witches? Witches!

In the nonsensical ramblings, Karen states that she has been targeted by “Babylon witches” who seek to cast their “evil” on her.

Babylon witches? WTF? Has Robert Moses State Park really gotten that bad?

But Timberlake isn’t the only one. Ryan Seacrest has a creepy leprechaun who thinks he’s been made in Seacrest’s image, or something. No, but seriously, this guy’s scary, and he has a knife, and now Seacrest has a restraining order against him:

Lawyers for Seacrest got the order from a Los Angeles judge on Friday after Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. was detained at the E! Entertainment Television headquarters the same day. Records show the 25-year-old man is already on probation for a previous incident involving Seacrest. Last month, Uzomah pleaded guilty to three misdemeanours, including carrying a switchblade knife as well as assault and battery. That was after he attacked one of Seacrest’s bodyguards outside an event.

Who else? Miley Cyrus has had a ghoulish, pervy, 53 year-old stalker. Who just went free today. This was the guy who thought he was getting secret messages from Miley through the television a la Videodrome. Whereas we all hear “this music sucks, listen to something else,” this creep hears, well, someone telling him to do creepy things. Which makes him crazy.

So what’s there to understand about these people? Why do they think famous people give a shit about them, you know, besides the fact that they’re mentally ill? What causes it? If the Stalker button on the top of this page is blatantly evident voyeurism, among other things, what goes beyond it? I’m sure it’s still being studied, somewhere. In the mean time, Bret Easton Ellis plans on showing us the answer. Who else? Ellis is adapting a book for TV about Young Hollywood as seen through the eyes of a stalker. Wonder if he did his research on subjects close to him. Then again, considering his definition of “scary,” he might be trying to teach us something. The stalked are scarier than the stalker, maybe?

Nah. Despite the fact that Hollywood’s full of scary people, the people they spawn and inspire are even scarier.

Celebrities: they’re nothing like us.

And you think your parents are bad? This Is It comes out this weekend. To celebrate, Joe Jackson isn’t remembering his son’s life. He’s telling Extra that Michael Jackson’s worth more dead than he is alive.

No, really. Yesterday, there was this tiny item buried in the New York Post. Maybe they wanted to be nice to a publicist? Or maybe because this kind of thing was too ghoulish even for Halloween.

Michael Jackson’s dad thinks the singer is “worth more dead than when he was alive.” Joe Jackson, 80, let that slip last night in an interview on the syndicated TV show “Extra.” Jackson — decked out in creepy sunglasses and a blinged-out, black, chalk-stripe suit — quickly recognized his gaffe and blurted out, “I’d rather have him alive.”

One hell of a necrophiliac Freudian slip, right? Extra has the item up on their site, but no video, yet: again, wonder why. Meanwhile, when the early week’s numbers for This Is It aren’t being praised/castigated/positioned both ways by Nikki Finke, the movie’s been predicted by Box Office Guru to possibly – maybe – break the $20M mark by the end of the weekend, which is short of the earlier predicted $30M mark.

Whether or not it’s “impressive” or a “disappointment,” however? Meh. Leave it to studios and math geeks. All that matters is that Joe Jackson sees dollah dollah bills, y’all. Which means Jackson is a star yet again. Give this man awards, Al Sharpton! Abusive in life, abusive in death. Parents won’t stop being embarrassing until the universe just flat-out ends.
