what i love (this week)

the song

i'm ready for summer. or at least spring break. alphabeat's new song, "vacation," isn't helping.


the show

with desperate housewives on its way out, i needed a guilty pleasure replacement. gcb doesn't quite fill the void, but it's still wickedly entertaining.

the movie

jennifer aniston and paul rudd. together. in a movie. how can you not love? wanderlust mixes the right amount of heart and hilarity.


the look 

my prayers have been answered: lilo is back to red! now hopefully her facial fillers start to fade...

movie review: horrible bosses

the boys are back. after bridesmaids aimed to takeover the raunchy buddy-com, horrible bosses sneaks in to reclaim the territory. jason bateman, jason sudeikis and charlie day star as three best friends fed up with their, well, horrible bosses. nick (bateman) can't stand uber-manipulator harken (kevin spacey), dale can't seem to doge the advances of nymphomaniac dentist julia (jennifer aniston) and kurt struggles to communicate with bobby (colin farrell), who fell into his job through nepotism. the three friends jokingly talk about killing their bosses, but hypothetical soon turns real. wouldn't their live be some much better if their bosses just disappeared? the guys think so, hiring motherfucker jones (jamie foxx) to do the dirty work. what unfolds is a hilarious series of unfortunate events, coincidences and accidents. this is charlie day, mostly known for his work on fx's it's always sunny in philadelphia, breakout role, ala zach galifianakis in the hangover. the movie is packed with laughs from start to finish. mix that with its unpredictable nature and horrible bosses is set to be the movie of the summer.

review: just go with it

don't you wish someone would make a movie about a guy lusting after the wrong woman, while the right woman was there the whole time? well here you have it. yes, the adam sandler/jennifer aniston romcom is predictable, but it's entertaining. the flick follows dr. danny maccabee (adam sandler) in his quest for love ... which involves him tricking girls into sleeping with him based on the fact that he's in a loveless marriage. and by loveless marriage, i mean no marriage at all. that is until he meets palmer - played by brooklyn decker - without his fake wedding ring. but when she discovers the fake ring, dr. maccabee has to think quick - which, naturally, leads to a lot of stupidity. long story short, danny's assistant, katherine (jennifer aniston), is roped into playing his pretend soon-to-be ex-wife ... and they all wind up in hawaii. the plot's a little over-thought, but is packed with plenty of laughs ... and a heidi montag cameo (?). there's even a whole b-story line featuring nicole kidman as katherine's college nemesis. at just under two hours, just go with it passed my watch test and kept me from checking the time. definitely add it to your list of movies to see, even if it's just to watch brooklyn decker make the same expression for half the movie.

day 2.336

just go with it

jennifer aniston may finally have a hit movie on her hands. the actress formerly known as rachel stars in the romcom just go with it, also starring adam sandler, brooklyn deckler, nicole kidman and...heidi montag. the film follows the exploits of bffs sandler and aniston as they try to convince the object of sandler's affections (brooklyn deckler) that they are getting divorced, even though they've never been married. sound complicated enough for you? check out the trailer above, it might give you a little more insight. the movie looks like it could actually do really well at the box office, filling the same space as sandler's hits like big daddy, 50 first dates and chuck & larry. the film is set to be released in february.

rihanna likes "s&m"

check out one of the recently leaked singles from rihanna's loud, "s&m." if this is any indicator of what the rest of the album will be, i'm definitely looking forward to it.

day 2.265

don't skip the switch

it's the first day of school and i have no homework. so what did i do? i went and saw the switch. the film stars jason bateman and jennifer aniston as best friends, one over-the-top neurotic (bateman) and one whose biological clock is ticking away (aniston). when jen's character, cassie, doesn't ask bateman's wally for his "sample" when she wants to get knocked up, he takes things into his own hands and replaces her donor's "seed" with his own. however, he doesn't remember doing it because he was, well, drunk. cassie moves back home to minnesota, has a son (sebastian) and loses touch will wally. cut to seven years later and cassie is ready to move back to new york city with sebastian. wally and cassie reconnect and....well, i don't want to spoil anything else for you. while jennifer aniston is basically playing the same character she's been playing for almost 20 years, the film is really about bateman's character bonding with sebastian, played adorably by thomas robinson. he's like an adult in a kid's body. this movie hasn't done very well commercially and probably won't be in your theater for all that long, so i suggest you run out and see it. i think there was too much emphasis put on jennifer aniston in the advertising and that's what killed it. but, in reality, she's more of a supporting character than the star.

day 2.121

another day, another movie trailer

this is a movie i have already added onto my "must see" list. formerly titled the baster, the switch is a romantic dramedy starring jason bateman and jennifer anniston. the duo are best friends until aniston decides to get knocked up by artificial insemination. when she doesn't pick bateman to be her donor, he makes - you guessed it - a "switch" of her donor baby batter for his. then she moves away...years later she comes back with the kid and - yep - it's a mini jason bateman. check out the trailer above.

day 2.31

movies to look forward to in 2010

some sure-to-be-blockbusters in the new year premiered their teaser trailers this week. here's your first look at the final installment of the shrek franchise (until dreamworks needs the money) shrek forever after, jennifer aniston's the bounty and dakota fanning going rock in the runaways.

day 305

aniston lately

last night, chelsea handler's e! late night show, chelsea lately, got its biggest guest even when jennifer aniston stopped by to talk up her new movie, love happens. either this movie is really good or really bad because jen and costar aaron eckhart have been on a crazy promotional tour for it. the movie, which comes out today, focuses on a self-help expert (eckhart) who learns he hasn't really been following his own advice when he meets a woman (aniston) at his own seminar ... and it's a romantic dramedy. the interview focuses more on chelsea, surprisingly, and is mainly her cracking jokes about her family and life in new jersey, which you can read all about in her two books. the only thing jennifer could really say about the movie was that it's a "good" movie. well that's descriptive. still, it's a fun interview to waste 8 minutes with. watch it below.

day 143

barbie's a billionaire

no, really, she is. barbie was the top earning celebrity for the 2008 fiscal year. no joke. barbie. the little plastic doll who's been whoring it out for 50 years now brought in $3.3 billion through mattel.  i guess we can say that barbie's aged pretty well. what about the real celebs? parade magazine reveals that jen aniston raked in nearly $30 million due to her surprise hit marley and me. i wonder if that includes how much jennifer makes off residual checks for friends reruns and dvd sales? some surprises on the list are britney spears and beyonce knowles.  britney only brought in $2.25 million (i would expect more) and beyonce brought in $80 million.  that's why she and jay-z were named the richest couple in hollywood by forbes last year.  taylor swift is well on her way to becoming the number one country crooner earner with $5.5 million in last year - the girl is only 19! makes me feel like i've done nothing...oh well. the biggest surprise from parade's survey is that celebrities, on average, earn about 115 times more than the average joe in america. pretty sad, right? guess that's the drive to become successful.  to find out more check out parade here. 

want to know how the hills season 5 ends?

if you want to keep the fake mystery alive, then do not read past this point. i repeat, do not read past this point. apparently a real, legitimate, non-fake staged mexican wedding between heidi montag and spencer pratt will go down two weeks from saturday (april 25th) and serve as the main story line which will bring the season to a close. the ceremony will take place at sunset with the hollywood hills as the backdrop at an undisclosed location. currently, there are 110 confirmed guests, but production is looking to add more. will lauren be in attendance? i'm sure if they throw enough money at her, she'll show up! heidi had her final fitting for the dress today at monique lhuillier's hollywood boutique. while reps for the couple and show won't comment on the situation, several of the 110 guests have been leaking the news to various outlets. i wonder if this was planned or is the real evolution of the relationship. my vote goes to stage - next week's teaser trailer showed spencer calling lauren to apologize about everything he's done the past couple of years.  while i don't want to see this take place, i really want to see what happens! what about you? btdubs, that pic is not the actual dress. it's an old paparazzi shot from a hills taping last season. 

hot mess update

my favorite hot mess, lindsay lohan, is getting back to her roots. literally. the former child star headed to the salon yesterday afternoon to get some much needed hair therapy and, surprisingly, returned to the color that made her famous: red. yes, lilo's a ginger again! lindsay said the recent breakup with saman was to focus on herself and i guess that means focusing on the crazy hair she'd been sporting: grungy on the top, platinum on the bottom, and obvious extensions. she kept the extension length, but at least it looks brushed and not so "hi i'm ratty old weave hair"-ish. lohan continued the makeover treatment with a new tattoo on her wrist. no word on what the tat's of, but her sister ali was in attendance. the problem with this? la lohan got the new body ink at 3 am. is that a normal time for a 15 year old high schooler to be up on a school night? yeah, didn't think so. dina lohan's not doing anything to improve her parenting rep. i'm just glad lindsay's on the way back to her old self. next stop: meal girls 2? 

don't forget - you can get updates on the go my following dirtylaundry on twitter - www.twitter.com/dirty__laundry

day 115

aniston without a man-istan

it looks like one of hollywood's cougar couples has called it quits.  john mayer reportedly gave jennifer aniston the boot after she returned to lalaland from a european promotional tour for marley and me.  the couple has apparently been fighting recently and just decided the relationship wasn't the right thing right now.  this is quite the surprise to fans and friends alike - the couple just made their coming out at february's oscar ceremony, which happened to be the anniversary of their meeting.  this is the second break-up for the couple. mayer held an impromptu press conference outside his gym in august of last year explaining he ended the relationship because he didn't want to waste someone's time.  i wonder if it's the same reason this time?  aniston is said to be happy to move on with her life.  it seems like all of aniston's exes move on really quickly - brad moved right onto angelina, vince vaughn recently got engaged...i wouldn't be surprised if john was on to someone new in the next month or so.  hopefully jen  is able to find someone soon - her love life has never been very stable.  

barrymore won't be eclipsed

the creative minds behind the twilight series have decided not to hire actress-turned producer/director drew barrymore as the director for the franchise's third flick, eclipse.  instead, the pic will be helmed by spanish horror director juan antonio bayona.  bayona has yet to do an english language flick - eclipse will be his second attempt at an english debut.  is this a good idea?  a man who has never worked in english directing one of the biggest movies of 2010?  i guess his aesthetic is horror and twilight's look and feel is pretty dark, so it could be a good match.  the thing i don't understand is why not just ask catherine hardwicke back?  she would have had plenty of time to work everything out for the third film and then new moon's director, chris weitz, could helm the fourth.  i guess they just want it to be a big mess.  maybe this means drew is being considered for the fourth installment.  that would be interesting to see - stephanie mayer, the series' author, said the book will be extremely difficult to adapt to the screen and she doesn't see how it will be feasible.  if tween girls are still out there - which i know they will be - a fourth film is inevitable.  i wouldn't be surprised if twilight got the harry potter treatment, either, with the fourth book being split into at least 2 films.  eclipse is set to his theaters in june of 2010.  

britney finally "seeks amy"

britney spears has finally released her much anticipated music video for her next single "if u seek amy."  the song is sure to be a major radio hit, but the video is a bit of a disappointment.  it seems like it was filmed in one day and there are literally no set changes - the whole thing takes place inside a house.  it's simplicity reminds me of her "piece of me" video.  check out the new video above and tell me your thoughts.  i think it's really funny that brit's team decided to poke fun at the fox news reporter who was so up in arms over the controversial lyrics to bookend the vid.  it just seems like the video was rushed without a real concept - and there is almost no dancing - just simple movements and hand gestures.  

day 81

show me the money

like each year, forbes has done some pretty critical r

esearch as to who in hollywood is raking in the best money for each hollywood studio (a list of the biggest losers is also compiled, but i don't think that's been released yet).  so, who were 2008's biggest forces at the box office? the answers may surprise you.  for "best performance by a male," the award goes to robert downey, jr.  the rehabed star made paramount's year with his turn in the superhero flick, iron man.  the film brought in $580 million for the studio (hence the much hyped sequel slated for next year), with paramount making $52.60 for every dollar rdj was payed.  because downey is on a bit of a comeback tour (after his trips to rehab and being shunned in hollywood), he took just $5 million for the part (that figure is sure to go up for the sequel, especially now that "oscar nominated

" can precede his name due to his role in tropic thunder), whereas some of the bigger action names (like will smith and brad pitt) would have commissioned upwards of $10 mil for the picture.  looks like the studio got a bargain.   and as for female power at the box office? meryl streep's leading role in the summer's record breaking musical mamma mia brought in the biggest bucks.  streep earned close to $50 million for the movie, with nbc/universal raking in $12 for ever $1 paid to the acting legend.  because streep earned more for her role, the studio made less per dollar paid, but still took in $575 million. streep is always in high demand and now downey probably will be, too.  how i can't wait to see who was a big loser - i'm betting on nicole kidman and hugh jackman, both for australia.  

kids get racy

today's kids choice awards aren't what they used to be.  with the onslaught of material that is always "should kids watch/listen to/admire this or shouldn't they?" the nominations for this year's nickelodeon run show push the envelope.  in the category for "best movie" are two superhero flicks much more geared to the 13 and over set, with the dark knight and iron man each getting a chance to take home an orange blimp.  when i was a kid, sure i was allowed to watch stuff like that, but it wasn't exactly the "main stream."  apparently parents aren't such sticklers about the mpaa ratings system as they used to be?  will smith even nabbed a nod for his role in hancock, whose original cut received an "r" rating.  the "favorite song" category is probably the most shocking to parents, with katy perry's lesbian themed tune "i kissed a girl," beyonce's anthem "single ladies," and chris brown's "kiss kiss" all getting recognized.  maybe kids are just hearing this stuff on the radio and not really listening to the lyrics?  with the debate going on over whether or not britney's "if u seek amy" should get radio play, it seems like there shouldn't be any discussion - if kids are already listening to this stuff, what's the difference?  other more adult nominations are: the simpsons for favorite cartoon show, jason lee for "favorite tv actor" in my name is earl, and america's next top model in the reality show category.  i think my favorite nomination, however, is michael phelps for "favorite male athlete," because of his recent herbal endeavors.  maybe he'll show up the show a little stoned? he has to drown his sorrows somehow - kellog's just dropped him and subway is about to end his sponsorship campaign.

america's got no host, but actors got work

nbc summer juggernaut america's got talent is currently host-less.  after losing regis philbin after only one season, talk show host jerry springer took over post his dancing with the stars stint that reinvigorated interest in the whitetrash brawl mediator.  springer isn't leaving the show because of creative differences, but rather because of scheduling conflicts (supposedly).  springer's syndicated "talk show" and a role in a stage production apparently would take too much time away from his duties at the peacock net (or so he says - i didn't even realize his show was still being made...).  the show will be returning to tv this summer for its fourth season, with judges sharon osbourne (who replaced brandy after season 1), david hasselhoff, and piers morgan all returning.  but who will be taking springer's spot? that is yet to be announced.  but it seems the show likes talk show personalities who've gone grey.  in other casting news, the gossip girl spin off about young lily van der woodsen has its first cast mate.  lily's older stister, carol (the black sheep of the family), will be played by confessions of a shopaholic costar krysten ritter, who's known for her stints on shows like gilmore girls, veronica mars, and til death.  krysten will make her first appearance as carol on the "backdoor pilot" episode of the spin off, airing as part of gossip girl, in march.  jennifer anison and jason bateman have also landed roles in the new film the baster, about a single woman who decides to be artificially inseminated to fulfill her dream of being a mother.  problem is jason's character, jennifer's character's best friends) switches the donor sperm with his own and hijinks ensue. and disney darling selena gomez will be making her big screen debut in beezus and ramona, a live action adaptation of the beverly cleary classic.  she'll be taking the role of big sister beezus to child actor joey king's ramona.  

speaking of aniston

jennifer made an appearance on today's ellen degeneres show to promote her new movie he's just not that into you and ellen surprised the newly 40 star with a birthday celebration.  now that ellen is running her show from the warner brother's lot, she has access to a lot of old tv sets, including that of jennifer's star-launching show friends.  check here to see a video of the duo's visit to aniston's old stomping grounds.  ellen even surprised the star with a birthday cake complete with 40 candles.  in the interview, jen said she was open to a friends reunion, but don't expect a movie.  she'd like 

to a tv special along the lines of the holiday episodes the sitcom was known for.  aniston also talked about her relationship with singer john mayer for one of the first times when ellen displayed a pic of john in a green borat thong (see above), to which jen responded "the man's got balls. what can i say? i think he's funny."  mayer makes an appearance on ellen's monday show, divulging that "yeah, there are sleepovers" at aniston's la pad.  i still think they're quite the odd couple.  

day 72

angelina, fired

angelina jolie has lost the one of the roles that helped launch her career, lara croft.  the video game based franchise, which debuted in movie form in 2001, with a sequel in 2003, is getting a reboot after its rights were traded from paramount back to video game company originator, eidos.  eidos has since turned the franchise over to warner brothers, who owns a large stake in eidos and plans to completely relaunch the series with a third film.  the threequel, however, won't be a sequel at all.  the new movie will completely overhaul the story of the tomb raiding, artifact hoarding heroine, with a new backstory that will most likely move away from focusing on croft's  british upbringing.  as well, new villains and love interests for croft on her new adventures.  according to fans, the series is thought of as james bond-like, with lara never aging through time.  fans are also supporting the casting change, campaigning hard for jolie-alike megan fox to helm the new film.  no casting decisions have been made, but that choice would completely make sense.  the thing with lara croft is that, because she was originally a video game character, the actress kind of has to live up to that image, unlike james bond.  it will also be interesting to see if the new franchise will be successful - are people still interested in the character? the first two films made $275 and $157, respectively, and the video games have grossed over $1 billion since their inception in 1996.  

kelly rowland v. the knowles family

things could get real ugly, real fast now that kelly rowland, one third of destiny's child, has released beyonce's father, matthew, as her manger.  matthew has been kelly's manger since the beginning of her career with the girl group and will continue to manage destiny's child should a reunion ever occur, or any kind of material by the group is ever released.  while the two parties released statements that they are parting ways amicably and will always be "family," i still think some drama is going down.  i can understand kelly wanting to get out of the situation; her solo career hasn't really been all that great - just a few weeks of radio play here and there - and matthew is probably focusing on the money machine that is his daughter, beyonce, more.  it would just be interesting to hear what was the tipping point in the split? who talked to rowland? and where's rowland going to be represented from now on? we'll just have to wait and see, i guess.

tidbits

here's a few blurbs for ya...speaking of angelina, it appears that the actress wore her dress at the sag awards backward. intentionally....amy poehler's sitcom finally has a name, public service.  poehler and rashida jones were seen out and about filming the show this past week....kelly clarkson is breaking records.  the american idol star now holds the record she previously broke with her debut single, "a moment like this," for her song "my life would suck without you."  clarkson made the biggest jump by a female artist ever in a week on the billboard charts, jumping from spot #97 to #1.  the record was most recently broken by britney spears's "womanizer."...jennifer aniston and john mayer may or may not have broken up, yet again...

day 39

jen beats brad

jennifer aniston's marley and me is set to top the christmas weekend box office, with ex-husband brad pitt's coming in second.  the dog themed rom-com has brought in close to fifteen million dollars as compared to bejamin button's 12ish. while aniston's film is shorter and played on more screens, i still think she would have beaten pitt - just the theme of the movie is more family friendly.  pitt's movie runs almost 3 hours long, which is about double the regular rate for movies today. how they turned a short story into a 3 hour long movie is beyond me.  the big question here is which film will be bigger at the box office overall.  my bet is still on marley.  family films always stay around longer and, while the film probably won't be nominated or win any awards, artsy pieces tend not to have staying power at the box office.

love woes

giselle bundchen, the former victoria's secret model, and football beau tom brady are now engaged.  brady popped the question on christmas eve, on his private jet with bundchen's family present.  the couple got together right after brady's former flame bridget moynahan announced she was pregnant with the couple's son.  no word on whether or not the over-paid model is with child, but she no doubt soon will be.  maybe tom can leave her, too, and just go around the states getting engaged to and knocking up famous women?

kate walsh, star of grey's anatomy spin off private practice, has countersued for divorce from her tv exec hubby, who filed right before thanksgiving.  the latest rumor swirling the surprise split is that walsh's soon to be ex is leaving her for (wait for it)...a man, his ex college roomie - an openly gay lawyer.  rumors like these have been surrounding the couple since their engagement. it will be interesting to see what all happens in this divorce; the celeb tabs are sure to follow it closely.

dirty laundry is one month old!

j lo-veless?

it looks like soon to be once again movie star jennifer lopez may be looking for romance in more than just her films.  reports are surfacing that lopez and husband (and baby daddy) marc anthony are headed down the road to divorce.  lopez was recently spotted at the curious case of benjamin button premiere sans her big ol' ring and anthony was spotted all over vegas partying it up without his.  the problems in the marriage seem to be from control issues - lopez is an "independent" who doesn't like to be told what to do and does everything with purpose; anthony is apparently very controlling, monitoring what jennifer says and wears...if you haven't noticed, we have not seen the infamou

s lopez booty in quite some time.  

stephanie tanner's officially empty house

full house star jodie sweetin's life has taken a page from the britney spears handbook on life.  the former child actress has lost custody of her 8 month old daughter and can only see her with supervised visits.  sweetin's soon to be ex cody herpin currently holds custody and was the one to bring allegations of neglectful and unfit parenting into court.  one example herpin gave was of jodie driving under the influence with the child in the car. this is a major problem as sweetin is a recovering meth addict and alcoholic (but she is in touch with her aa sponsor).  as the divorce proceedings press on, sweetin and herpin have been asked t

o take drug tests...

britney's back. now how about kelly?

kelly clarkson is well on her way to regaining her pop princess crown.  the first american idol will be releasing a song, entitled "my life would suck without you," sometime in the next weeks, with the music video already in production.  the track is produced by the minds behind britney, katy perry, and pink's latest efforts - all of which have been radio and fan friendly.   kelly is in desperate need of a hit, after the turmoil and failure of her last album, my december, which couldn't produce even one hit.  the new album is said to be much more true to the singer's pop roots, with a sound closer to her biggest seller, breakaway.  clarkson has most recently been touring on the "two voices" tour with reba mcentire, with whom she shares a manager (reba's husband). 

batman's new stars

warner bros and franchise director christopher nolan have apparently hand picked a variety of famous actors to fill the shoes of some major characters in the batman saga for the third film starring christian bale.  according to british reports (so we'll see how accurate this all is), eddie murphy will take on the villainous role of the riddler.  batman will also get his boyish sidekick in the threequel, with shia labeouf taking the role of robin.  the studio is also trying to get rachel weisz to take the role of catwoman.  this all seems well-and-good (with the exception of eddie murphy), but i'm doubtful any of it will happen.  this seems to be quite the random assortment of actors and a "whos-who" wishlist...

update: ruffalo death

mark ruffalo's brother's death has been ruled a homicide by the coroner, throwing out the idea that he died of a russian roulette related injury...seems pretty shady to me. 

just a thought...

marking a month here, i've decided to add this new bulletin.  my first thought is "is it just me, or is jen aniston everyw

ere??" the star seems to be on every single magazine cover lately.  i know she's in a new movie (marley and me) and all, but seriously? i'm also surprised the mags haven't made a bigger deal out of aniston's film heading to the box office the same day as brad pitt's benjamin button.  the two films are set to hit theaters on christmas day and both are expected to be big...who will win will just have to be seen. 

day 16

setting the circus bar high

britney spears's new music video, "circus," has leaked online today.  click here to watch it.  if this is anything like what her tour will be, i think concert-goers will be pleased.  the only thing i don't understand is why the choreography looks so good on film and somewhat sloppy in person.  i guess it could be editing, or that brit's more comfortable in the confines of a studio.  who knows? the music video could also possibly be turned into a spears fragrance ad, as her perfume curious is featured in the opening moments.  overall, the production value is good, but i still prefer the concept and styling of "womanizer" better. 

aniston entertains

jennifer aniston hits the latest cover of entertainment weekly to discuss her new movie, marley and me, which hits theaters on christmas day.  aniston addresses a lot of issues in the issue, including babies and brangelina.  she finds all the baby rumors surrounding her funny, but annoying ; "it's almost going to take away the fun from actually being able to say one day, 'i'm pregnant!" says the star.  and, as for the woman that broke up her marriage to mr. pitt, aniston says vogue blew her comment ("what angelina did was very uncool") out of proportion and that the move was very tabloid, but she's not holding a grudge.  now only if aniston would drop john mayer and get pregnant with someone she can actually start a family with...maybe someone her own age? hollywood doesn't need another cougar.  

more montag mag dramz

the new issue of us weekly features heidi montag's mother talking about how disappointed she is in the life track her daughter has chosen to take.  darlene montag thinks spencer is taking over heidi's life and said she wouldn't even be surprised if he had drugged her in mexico in order to marry her.  darlene's last straw with her daughter was heidi's skipping out on family thanksgiving in colorado this year in order to spend time with spencer in mexico.  darlene is confident the marriage won't work out.  i'm a little skeptical though; why would us play both sides of this story? wouldn't that make speidi annoyed at the tab? i would venture to guess darlene's cover story was part of the deal to put heidi and spencer on last week's cover.

sad news

mark ruffalo, a staple of romcoms like 13 going on 30 and just like heaven, and his family are standing by the bedside of mark's brother, scott, who was shot in the head earlier this week in hollywood.  not much is known about the shooting and an investigation is underway.
