amy poehler heads to indiana 

while her single-camera comedy is still without a name, amy poehler's sitcom from the people behind the office finally has a plot.  the show will be all about small town government and one woman's dream to be the first female president of the united states.  poehler will, of course, play said lady in the form of leslie knope, a mid level bureaucrat in the parks and recreation department of pawnee, indiana. documentary cameras will follow knope, who is always looking to advance her career, in taking on the "simple" task of "beautifying" her town, helping rashida jones's nurse ann logan in converting a construction site into a local park.  of course, the whole town will be working against the women through law suits, building codes, and democratic processes.  aziz ansari will take on the role of knope colleague tom haverford, who both helps and underminds knope to get ahead in his career.  the final announced castmember, aubrey plaza, takes on the role of knope's college intern april, who knope is hoping to inspire.  there are still a few roles to cast, but this show is shaping up to be really intriguing.  amy poehler as a grown-up tracy flick (see the film election if you have no clue what i'm talking about)? i'm already hooked.  the show should premiere sometime in april, with a six episode first season.  

j lo's missing ring explained 

as a twice divorced mother of twins, whom she conceived with a skeleton, jennifer lopez is the picture of perfection when it comes to relationships and keeping marraiges together.  after months of speculation over are-they-or-aren't-they about the possible separation between lopez and marc anthony, lopez is finally speaking out about why she just doesn't wear her wedding ring: it doesn't go with all her outfits. the explanation comes after lopez's appearance at sunday's golden globes.  oh, that makes soooo much sense.  because wedding rings in their gold or silver simplicity clash with so many pieces of clothing.  and, diamonds? those clear rocks just never seem to match anything.  in addition, lopez said "divorce is not and never was an option." that's really interesting since, like i said before, jennifer has been divorced twice already.  so what is an option? living in hell? people close to lopez say that she and her hubby both "love hard and fight hard," and marc just isn't interested in sleeping with lopez with her post-babies body.  therefore, all the couple has been doing lately is fighting.  well that sounds like the perfect place to raise two (make that five, with anthony's children from 2 other relationships) kids.  

naomi campbell, onto another victim  

notorious blackberry thrower and high fashion model naomi campbell has settled with former maid gaby gibson.  gibson, who claimed campbell is a "violent super bigot," sued the tyra banks wannabeen when she allegedly abused the housekeeper for losing track of a pair of designer jeans.  other allegations were that campbell continuously put down gibson, telling her "you're not in the third world anymore, stupid" and caller her a "bad romanian." while details of the settlement haven't been (and won't be) released, everyone is said to be happy with the terms.  the lawsuit hit its peak when campbell was seen strutting around new york in a "naomi hit me...and i liked it" shirt, pushing gibson over the edge.  now its onto her next victim.  who will naomi bitch slap next?
