Harry. Prince Harry.

DWTS: Julianne Hough has a bedfellow in dancer Lacey Schwimmer. Following Hough’s diagnosis of endometriosis, Schwimmer found out she has it, too. Is there something in the water there?!

OTH: CW has added more episodes to this season! Score! More coming to Gossip Girl and 90210, as well. We guess that’s good, too.

Selena Gomez: Move over, Nick Jonas. Tweener Selena already has her eyes set on someone else: Shia LaBeouf. Join the club, Selena.

Prince Harry: The royal heir better watch out. At the Quantum of Solace premiere, he made the mistake of saying Sean Connery was his favorite Bond, rather than current star Daniel Craig. Smooth move, prince.

Beatles: The iconic quartet will have a videogame of their own in the not-so-near future. It’s being made by the creators of Rock Band but no word yet on what exactly the game will be.

MSNBC: Took the brunt of the beating at a recent luncheon conference on Hollywood and the media. Why is everyone so alarmed by the network’s “lopsided” coverage? Have they seen Fox News?!

Addams Family: Coming to a theater near you. If you live in Chicago. Or New York. But what are the Addams doing on a stage, any way? They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky…

The View: Despite denials by show reps, sources say Elisabeth is on the way out, if Babs has anything to do with it. But what good is a show with hot topics if everyone’s on the same side?

Pete Wentz: Already debating whether to sell his yet-to-be-born baby’s first pics to a magazine. We sense a great father-child relationship building already.

Swinging the bat at a teammate

Election: What better way to get kids involved than to write a song to the tune of T.I.’s Whatever You Like? Brilliant.

DWTS: Finally! Adios, Cloris!

Rebecca Budig: Why make a much-hyped return to All My Children only to leave again one year later? The actress attributes her departure to her busy life with husband (and former Bachelor hunk) Bob Guiney. We hope ABC feels stupid now for all its “the real Greenlee returns” promotion. So now we’ll be back with a “fake one”?

Derek Jeter: Gave a subtle diss to teammate and former BFF A-Rod when he told a reporter “Don’t start with me about Kabbalah. I went to Catholic school.” Is a locker room brawl in the future?

Rosie O’Donnell: Reacted to the Jennifer Hudson tragedy by putting some startling statistics up on her blog. Turns out, it’s ridiculously common to be murdered by an “intimate partner.” Such a tragic, scary world we live in.

Russell Brand: Never one to stay out of trouble, the British (actor? host? comic? WHAT IS HE?!) resigned from the BBC after harassing another actor through voicemail. This is not the first time Brand’s left his place of employment in a huff. Right after 9/11, he showed up for work at MTV dressed as Osama Bin Laden. Classy.

Both have moved on...to co-stars.

Jennifer Hudson: The boy found earlier today was positively identified as Hudson’s nephew. The growing enormity of this tragedy has left us speechless.

Julianne Hough: So it turns out it wasn’t just a stomache after all. The 20-year-old will have her appendix removed as part of treatment for endometrosis, a disease affecting the uterus and surrounding organs. Our only previous experience with endometrosis? When Kelly was diagnosed with it on (the original) 90210.

Obama: Another assassination attempt against the presidential candidate has been pre-emptively foiled. Are we the only ones who think they will increase ten-fold if he’s actually elected?

DWTS: Is Cloris a success because of her age or her personality? And can both be considered ‘sexy’ qualities? Just thinking about this gives us the heebie-jeebies but the Chicago Tribune doesn’t seem to mind.

Apatow and Co.: The relationship between Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen and Kevin Smith is quite incesutous. Turns out, that’s also what makes it so great. We should start a fan club.

Chad Michael Murray: Revealed a lot of juicy, previously unconfirmed news in an interview this morning. He and the much-younger Kenzie (a former OTH extra) are still engaged and will likely marry in North Carolina. He has no problem working with ex-wife Sophia Bush–especially since she’s with fellow co-star James Lafferty! And the only thing stopping a seventh season of One Tree Hill is the network’s sign-on. Very, very interesting.

Economy: The reason networks are still airing low-rated shows like Knight Rider and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Great, so we’ll be broke AND un-entertained.

Trista and Ryan: As they await the arrival of baby number two, the couple is considering a return to reality television. We have little respect for parents that want to subject their kids to that environemtn.

Jennifer Hudson and her late mother, Darnell

Jennifer Hudson: After finding out her mother and brother were murdered yesterday, the actress-singer has returned home to Chicago. Hudson’s nephew is still missing and the FBI have joined the investigation, though a suspect–allegedly the boy’s father–is in custody. We can’t imagine the pain Hudson, who lost her father when she was a teen (and just got engaged last month), feels right now and we hope we’ll never have to.

Fall Out Boy: Trying to break a world record by appearing on more than 57 radio shows in a given day. ‘Cause, you know, that’s cool.

DWTS: Reports are circulating that there’s beef between Cloris and the rest of the cast–though denials are being issued, too. We all know they’re just upset that an 82-year-old has made it this far in the competition.

The View: Should the co-hosts not be allowed to wear politically-inspired clothing on the show? That’s the latest coming from Barbara Walters after McCain-lover Elisabeth Hasselbeck sported a shirt for him on the show. Stepping on free speech? We’re undecided.

The CW: The network is no longer considered near-death thanks to the ratings improvement for Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill and the (questionable) success of 90210. Though this makes us happy, we’re not gonna lie: we miss the WB.

Palin: Should she get a gig hosting a talk show if the whole VP thing doesn’t work out? We’re thinking no. If she doesn’t win for veep, obviously people don’t like her so why would they watch her show?

David Giuntoli: Who said there isn’t life after MTV? This former no-name has parlayed a few seasons on Road Rules (and the spin-off challenges) into a role on Privileged. Apparently he also kissed a dude on Grey’s Anatomy. Who knew?

SIZZLED OUT: Carrie Underwood

STILL SIZZLING: Which megastar’s girlfriend is doing some of her own recording? Perhaps they think it will help bring sexy back to their relationship.

Only one of these is having a baby.

Taylor Momsen: The youngest Gossip Girl is in the hospital with a throat infection! It’s life-threatening, doctors say, but they also predict she’ll be fine. Which is it?!

Alyson Hannigan: She’s preggers! And no, Jim is not the father.

DWTS: Bye, bye Toni Braxton. Probably for the best with that heart problem and all.

Friday Night Lights: Wondering where it is? Only on DirectTV. What a scam.

Roseanne: It’s been 20 years since the show’s debut. We feel old.

Julianne Hough: After doing what we now know was a superb acting job on live TV last night, the 20-year-old was taken to the hospital. Today she says she’s “ok.” The culprit? A stomachache. Can’t she just suck it up like the rest of us?

ABC: A memo went out to all show execs: wardrobe spending will be limited here on out. Cheap? Or efficient?

Privileged: That other show on the CW. Has flown under the radar because it’s not Gossip Girl-esque. Says its creator (Rina Mimoun of our eternal favorite Everwood), that was precisely the point.

50 Cent: Granted once-a-month visitation with his son. And he’s happy about that–but is the kid? Man, we’d want to see our dad (a famous one, no less) a lot more than that!

A role model for high school kids?

Britney: Faced months in jail if a jury found her guilty of a misdemeanor (driving without a valid license). Lucky for her the jury was declared “hopelessly deadlocked” and she won’t be retried. Was she given special treatment because of her celebrity? Let the debating commence!

90210: Not on tonight–the second week in a row. This is not a bad thing.

Teen TV: A (unscientific) research article found that teens say their reality is very different than what is shown on screen. Shock of shocks.

Nick Hogan: Out of jail after serving less than his 8-month sentence. His friend/victim is still severely injured. There are no winners here.

Beyonce: Loved gaining 15 lbs. for an upcoming movie, she told InStyle. We would, too, if we knew it would melt away as soon as filming was done.

DWTS: Brooke Burke still performed last night even though she injured her foot earlier in the day. That show is not safe, we tell ya! Hear that, Cloris?

Transformers: Universal is making a ride based on the movie. Guess that means we can still get away with not seeing it! Hurrah!

Ashton Kutcher: High school football coach and creator of a web site for teenage girls? It’s true. What happened to the old Ashton?

Chace Crawford: For someone who supposedly wants to overcome the “gayface” label, this photo spread certainly won’t help.

Guess they won't be doing THAT anymore!

Madonna: So it’s true. Their reps have released a joint statement. Divorce will proceed. Settlement not yet reached. What we want to know: so did she really have an affair with A-Rod?

Rolling Stone: The over-sized mag is going on a diet. Starting with the Oct. 30th issue, the magazine will appear just like all the other glossy mags out there. They save money, we get more pages. Good for everyone?

Janet Jackson: Her rep is saying the mysterious illness was a case of bad migraines. Um, okay.

DWTS: Cloris Leachman, 82, is still in the competition. We still think this can only end badly.

AMA: Among the nominees for the American Music Awards: Alicia Keys, Coldplay, Lil’ Wayne and Taylor Swift. Jimmy Kimmel will host for the 5th time. Guess people aren’t sick of him.

Beyonce: Will be giving fans a multiple choice with her new album: a 17-track double disc or an 11-song version. Smart economical move?

She's 40!

Beverly Hills Chihuahua: This movie topped the box office two weeks in a row! We have to wonder what this says about America’s taste in movies…

DWTS: Forget all the hoopla surrounding Cheryl Burke’s fit/not fit body. We still can’t believe Carrie Ann Inaba is 40! How long ’til she becomes a MILF?

Johnny Depp: Speaking of still being hot for your age, Johnny Depp was just voted sexiest man by Cosmopolitan UK. Our favorite Johnny look: Crybaby!

Miley Cyrus: The barely 16-year-old claims she’s fallen in love more than 20 times. So how long until she’s pulling a Britney?

Zac Efron: Not taking over Daniel Radcliffe’s full-frontal role on Broadway. One word: damn.

Barack Obama: Ballots mailed to Albany residents presented ‘Barack Osama’ as one of the candidates. Correct versions were later sent out but is the damage already done?

Long-lost twins?

Sarah Palin: Can you tell the difference between Tina Fey-as-Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin-as-Sarah Palin? Yeah, neither can we.

John McCain: Most grandparents are the same age as John McCain. Can you see them as president? Didn’t think so.

Janet Jackson: The most (in)famous female in the Jackson clan will resume touring after a mysterious illness. Bad gas? Old age? Fatigue? No official word so until then, let the lies and rumors continue!

DWTS: How long til 82-year-old Cloris Leachman breaks a hip? And didn’t Toni Braxton cancel concerts a short while ago for a heart problem?

90210: Memo to Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah! Bring back Kelly–with Dylan!

Anorexic Hollywood: So how many of Hollywood’s closet anorexics used Yom Kippur fasting as an excuse to not eat?

SIZZLED OUT: Nikki Blonsky

STILL SIZZLING: Which TV personality many of you love to hate is thrilled about Britney’s comeback? She’s been waiting for it for months!

Like father, like daughter.

ScarJo and Ryan Reynolds: Hey Alannis, you, um, oughta know Ryan and Scarlett are totally married now. Oh, you don’t care? No worries, we don’t either.

DWTS: Sorry Kim, some people just don’t like big butts and they cannot lie. Still, to get voted off on the anniversary of your father’s death is pretty shitty. Sorry about that.

Heath Ledger: Suicide, accident or just his time, it doesn’t matter. Why is there so much red tape in getting Matilda what she (and Ledger’s family) rightfully believe she deserves?

Paul Newman: We could be like everyone else and say our favorite Newman film is Cool Hand Luke or The Color of Money, but let’s be real. We’re a sucker for a good tear-jearker, so our vote definitely goes to Message in a Bottle. Rent it. Watch it. Love it.
