Picture this face in the Senate!

Anne Hathaway: Would you pay $12,000 for a date with her? Some guy actually did. We don’t think any celebrity is worth that much!

Beatles: How about $200,000 to own their very first contract? Yeah, we wouldn’t spend that either.

Paula Abdul: Hasn’t slept at home since a fan committed suicide outside her house. Reasonable or ridiculous? We can’t decide.

Will Smith: Other celebs are banking on his 11-year marriage to stand the test of (Hollywood) time and, frankly, so are we. We can’t handle any more splits!

Jay Leno: Just because Conan is taking over The Tonight Show, Leno doesn’t have to go. He’ll just be on earlier.

Fran Drescher: Could the nanny also be a senator? That’s what she’s hoping for but we find it hard to believe it’ll happen. Caroline Kennedy does make a lot more sense.

Time: Compiled “The Top 10 Everything of 2008.” Definitely the best place for procrastination.

Online Media: Now eligible for the Pulitzer. Curious to see what, if anything, will be deemed worthy enough to win.

Gawker: Not that we didn’t know already that the media industry is floundering, but Gawker put together this handy-dandy chart of newspaper survival odds that just make things seem that much bleaker.

Network TV: New shows lead to cancellations which lead to more new shows. It’s a vicious cycle and it will gear up once again very soon.

Playboy: Christie Hefner (daughter of Hugh) has resigned her position as CEO of the company. Maybe she’s seen one too many naked ladies?

Holocaust: The subject of six films now out or soon to be. We believe this is a good thing, and wish others did, too.

Perez Hilton: Here’s your first look at his upcoming book. We have to warn you, though: it ain’t pretty!

The CW: We’re liking this new trailer, courtesy of Spoiler TV, for the winter season!

Polaroids: Disappearing before our very eyes! Ah, technological evolution…

Wheel of Fortune: We’re going to be on the show! We tape in Los Angeles mid-January, though we don’t know when it’ll air. We’re sooo excited!

SIZZLED OUT: Which singer swears she’s completely sober now that she has a new album to promote? Answer: Lily Allen (Submitted by Ashley)

STILL SIZZLING: The quote of the day award goes to this comedian for for a hilarious one-liner: “This is the first time a First Lady can drop it like it’s hot!”

Just another couple we'd like to see get back together!

Just another couple we wish would get back together!

EW: Another Twilight cover? Really?! Enough! This is the third one in mere months and the second in weeks! Total overkill.

Twitter: Major source of communication as the Mumbai attacks unfolded.

Orlando Bloom: Despite reports to the contrary, he is not engaged. Still with Miranda Kerr, though. Guess getting back together with Kate Bosworth is still out of the question.

Rosie O’Donnell: So the variety show tanked but does that mean you have to cave on everything?! The so-called feud between her and Barbara Walters is over, as far as Rosie’s concerned. “Here’s my new motto,” Rosie wrote on her blog. “Whatever she says, goes. The end.” That doesn’t sound like the Ro we know and love!

John Travolta: Says Richard Gere and Tom Hanks have a career thanks to him. (He turned down parts that they ended up getting). He’s joking. We think.

Paris Hilton: Finished a second album, which she says she wrote all on her own. This may not be the worst thing ever. Stars Are Blind was pretty catchy.

Cable TV: May soon dominate the television ratings. Based on the fall output from the major networks, we can easily see how.

SIZZLED OUT: Lil Wayne

STILL SIZZLING: Is two months two soon to introduce your girlfriend to your family? Based on track record in a different arena, this champion must think he can’t lose.
