Chris Brown: Though Nickelodeon backed his nomination, Chris Brown has voluntarily removed himself from consideration in the Kids Choice Awards. Voluntarily or secretly forced to? Public (and private) pressure can be a very powerful thing.
PEOPLE: Its website, along with that of TIME, could go subscription-only in the relatively near future. Readership would probably plummet, though, as you can get practically same information on a ton of other sites. Would it be as accurate? Probably not. Sigh.
Patrick Swayze: Sad that as he tries to move forward with his life, the actor has to keep debunking rumors that he’s near death. Tabloid “journalism” at its worst.
Mandy Moore: That was a quick engagement! Less than a month after confirming their plans to wed, Moore and Ryan Adams tied the knot. That’s some carpe diem for ya!
MTV: Forget reality TV. The one-time music network is ushering in a new style: the scripted comedy. Can’t see any of the proposed shows lasting, though.
Bristol Palin: Multiple sources are reporting that Sarah Palin’s eldest daughter and her babydaddy have split. Sad, but it didn’t have a good chance of lasting anyway. Sure the media will a field day with it, though.
SIZZLED OUT: Paul McCartney
STILL SIZZLING: These two musically-inclined friends will go on Larry King Live tonight to recount their near-death experience.
