Madonna & Guy Ritchie Divorcing
Oh yeah, you heard me. According to an actual, well-respected news source, The Times, the couple is preparing to head to court (or at least Madonna is lawyering up, who knows what Guy Ritchie is doing). And get this: there was NO PRE-NUP. INSANE...

Six More Reasons to Get Amped About The Dark Knight
Ohhhhh emmmmm geeeeee, you guys. The premiere of The Dark Knight is just three weeks away. And with the exception of Iron Man, the summer blockbuster season has been pretty depressing so far, what with huge steaming turds like The Love Guru and You Don't Mess with the Zohan driving folks away from the multiplexes. But I really think that TDK is going to make us forget (though maybe not forgive) the trespasses of Mike Meyers and Adam Sandler...

Heidi Montag Presents: Songs From The Hellmouth!
I'm just going to apologize right up front here: yesterday, I caused untold numbers of eyeballs to bleed by posting a paparazzi photo of Rod Stewart in mismatched pink separates perfecting his latch, and for that I'm sorry. Sorryish. It was a crazy-assed piece of celebuweirdness that I felt warranted sharing, and I make no apologies for making that celebuweirdness available for your critical analysis, but still - eyeballs were injured, and there's no getting around that. Such are the risks of celebrity gossipmongering...
And now I'm going to do it again, but this time, it's your ears that will bleed if you dare follow the link. You've been warned.

Amy Winehouse's Drug Dealers are Charged
Looks like Amy Winehouse will need to purchase drugs somewhere else. And seriously, this girl has overtaken Britney Spears with the most MamaPop Celeb Legal Woes columns. Is there an award for that?
London police have arrested two people, John Blagrove and Cara Burton, suspected of supplying drugs to Amy. They have been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and ecstasy. They have been released on bail and will appear in court on July 1...

Did the Bratz Dolls get ahold of Strawberry Shortcake?
I firmly believe that toy manufacturers will not be happy until they skank up every last vestige of our priceless innocence. Take for instance, the remake of Strawberry Shortcake, which, along with Rainbow Brite (the original Tank Girl) was a staple of every girl’s toy collection in the 1980s. (I myself had several Strawberry Shortcakes in various sizes, and they smelled like something fruity, not really strawberries, but awesome nonetheless.) ...

Metallica Can't Handle Criticism
Confession: I used to be a huge Metallica fan. We're talking 18 years ago. (*Ohmygod I'm old.) I accepted "The Black Album" and I even bought "Load". Then I listened to "Load" one time and I was through with Metallica. Let's me honest. They've been pretty terrible for a really long time and no one is sure why high school (okay, probably Jr High) kids are still buying their music.
But now they have gone beyond all reason. They have become CENSORS...
