I still matter!

Entertainment Weekly: Amidst more internal staff changes, Time Inc. claims the magazine will continue to publish. Wonder if they had any fingers crossed when they gave that quote…

Susan Boyle: This may seem very mean but just remember we didn’t suggest it first! PEOPLE is doing a poll on who should play Boyle in a biopic and Robin Williams is one of the options. We do see a resemblance, not gonna lie.

Hulu: Partnering with Disney to show ABC and other affiliated shows like Lost and Grey’s Anatomy. Your turn, YouTube.

John McCain: What we can only guess is an attempt to remain as relevant as his former running mate, Sarah Palin, the one-time presidential candidate will be host of a war-themed movie marathon on AMC. Fail.

The Daily Beast: Put together a photo gallery of face masks inspired by the swine flu. Some are pretty funny. would love to see more!

SIZZLED OUT: Tyra Banks

STILL SIZZLING: This celeb hopes she won’t be judged for falling for a prank by Sacha Baron Cohen in the upcoming film, Bruno.

Who needs a fact-checker?

Rosie O’Donnell: We are sooooo excited for Rosie Live tonight!

Kanye West: An investigation is again taking place in the 2007 death of his mother, Shonda. Californian authorities are focusing their efforts on Kanye’s cousin who was supposed to be taking care of Shonda after her cosmetic surgery.

Mariah Carey: Hmmm. The singer didn’t exactly diffuse rumors of a pregnancy on Ellen today. When offered champagne by the clever host, Carey first accepted but then didn’t actually drink it, giving the lame reason that it was too early to drink. Riiiight. Like it’s ever too early for any star to drink.

Academy Awards: The key to winning an Oscar could be as simple as having a unique haircut. We’re off to the salon.

TMZ: The television version will be on air for at least the next two years. Thanks, TV gods. (That was sarcasm.)

Ashlee Simpson: Notice how her name is spelt. Now notice how it is on the cover of OK! Now laugh.

Ann Moore: The Time Inc. CEO and mastermind behind their massive layoffs will be honored with a lifetime achievement award. Seems fair, doesn’t it?

Our chances of working for one of these mags are disappearing by the day. Sigh.

Tina Fey: Is Bristol Palin her newest babysitter? The offer has been made by Mrs. Palin. Fey’s response: “I was like, yeah, that’s exactly what 17-year-old Bristol Palin wants to do, at ‘SNL,’ is babysit the toddler of the lady that goofs on her mom.” We’re just wondering if Bristol will even want to babysit her own toddler.

Redemption Song: American Idol for boozies, strippers and cons. We kid you not. Gotta love Fuse.

Obama: Pundits across America are weighing in on last night’s last-ditch effort by Obama to secure American’s vote. But what about all the people that already voted through absemtee and early ballots? Lost causes?

Phillies: MLB champs. Notice how we didn’t say World Series champs. Semantics, really, but how can you win a world championship when the whole world doesn’t have the opportunity to play? The MLB is only in America, folks!

Jennifer Hudson: As expected, all the entertainment/gossip mags have Hudson-focused covers. Curious to see how they sell and which one does the best.

Time Inc.: Laying off up to 600 staffers in the coming weeks. Now how will we ever get a job there?!

TiVo: Got TiVo? Now you got Netflix, too. The two have married. Applause all around. Except for us. We still don’t have TiVo. Or Netflix.

SIZZLED OUT: Melrose Place

STILL SIZZLING: Which actor has walked the line for the final time? He’s retiring at age 34!
