| Dr. Phil a Phibber? How much of what we know about Dr. Phil is real and how much is myth? Is he really a Texan? Did his second wife play a role in the demise of his first marriage? Taken right out of interviews with all the McGraws, you be the judge. Read Sam's exclusive story here. |
| The Dark Knight - Batman Cursed? Hollywood hates the "C" word, but consider this: - April 2007, Fire breaks out on the set in Chicago - Sept 2007, Crew member was killed on the set - Jan 2008, Heath Ledger, the Joker, dies. Heath had stated this role bothered him and caused him to lose sleep. View the trailer, check out the movie poster (r) to see why. |

Duck-ski! Is that the chill of winter or the winds of cold war blowing again? A
Russian bomber buzzed a U.S. aircraft carrier over the weekend, causing U.S.
fighter jets to scramble. Reports say the Russians have been flirting with Alaska
for several months. Tensions have grown over U.S. plans for a missile defense
system in Poland and the Czek Republic. The Russians say they were in
compliance with international rules, and they don't know what all the fuss is
about. Can't we work this out? We've got our hands full these days. Read more

| American Idol Controversy continues to build around Carly Smithson, formerly Carly Hennessy, and her connection to Randy Jackson while he was with MCA.

There's much more to this scandal - click here to read. |
| Paris' birthday suit Paris Hilton celebrated her 27th birthday in Las Vegas performing at the Pussycat Lounge with the Pussycat Dolls. She wore three racy costumes she designed. She ended with an impression of an olive in a giant martini glass, proving once again that money does not equal class. |
| Knight Rider Spins Out Was it worth sitting through the new Knight Rider to try to win a car? Not even gratuitous sexuality could save it. Deanna Russo's character is a whining wimp, and her acting is awful. Justin Bruening may have the look, but lacks the attitude. Val Kilmer's meditation-tape voice as KITT doesn't help, either. Official site. |

| Baby Talk JLo's twins aren't the only babies in the news. Jessica Alba has allegedly told friends she's carrying twins. Angelina's twin rumors persist, and word has it she passed out on a plane coming home from Iraq. And Ellen couldn't ignore Christina's "twins." HOLY MOLY! Watch the video. |

| Yo Yo, Larry Dawg! Randy Jackson was on Larry King Live and blew off the question of having pros on American Idol as no big deal. It was mentioned in a news montage that he was a VP for MCA while Carly Smithson was signed, but he failed to address that conflict of interest. Larry showed him videos of presidential hopefuls dancing and singing, including this video; Randy thought Ellen was Hillary! |
| Get a Load of Those! The necklace draped around Nicole Kidman at the Oscars at first glance looked like Aunt Rose's rhinestone sautoir from her days in a 1920's dance hall. But those are diamonds - 7,645 of them to be exact, totalling almost 1,400 carats. ZOINKS! It was almost enough to make us overlook her baby bump! |

Predictions right? - See if the experts and public picked winners |
How do you explain that? Gary Busey called Ryan Seacrest's radio

he butted in on his red carpet interview with Jennifer Garner and
Laura Linney and lunged at Jennifer's neck. Watch the video and

| A oui one Reports are circulating that Angelina Jolie is carrying only one child, not twins, and that she and Brad Pitt are planning to have the baby in France, as a tribute to her French late mother. Foreign reports claim they have bought a chateau, and they are going to move the entire brood there. Last year, they claimed they were going to make New Orleans their home and put their kids in public school. Gee...can't imagine why they changed their minds. Of course, these are unconfirmed rumors. We'll keep you posted. |
| The hits just keep on coming The New England Patriots can't seem to stay out of the news. RB Kevin Faulk was cited for possession of marijuana in Louisiana Friday night entering the Cajundome for a Lil Wayne concert. Read the Boston Globe story. It was a small amount, so he only gets a misdemeanor charge. What would Paris say? "That's pot." If they dated, they could be "The Hottie and the Pottie." |

two years with a major label will do for ya - lots of vocal and stage training. We're

they lost on that flop. We've asked MCA, but they're dodging the question.

| ERUPTION New Jersey Paper Erroneously Cancels Van Halen Tour As we reported this morning, we discovered that one newspaper fueling rumors about Van Halen's tour cancellation misquoted an old Rolling Stone article. That article was written last year when it was thought the tour was not going to happen. A New Jersey Star-Ledger reporter overlooked the date and reported it as new news that swept across the Internet. It was repeated by other news sources that didn't bother to check the date. We did. We emailed the reporter who wrote that article, and he just sent back a red-faced confirmation - he overlooked the date and has removed it from his online article. WAY TO GO! READ MORE |

| Aw, chute! The parachute recently found in Amboy, WA, is not D.B. Cooper's. Earl Cossey, who packed the chutes in 1971, confirmed to the FBI this was not one provided to Cooper. Read more. Apparently, Earl is a bit cantankerous, so he had some April Fool's fun with the media, telling some reporters it really was Cooper's. |
Blowing Smoke? April Fools Day pranks in the
media seemed to be at an all-time high this year with
stories about Google and Virgin colonizing Mars,
James Bond going bi and a turtle addicted to nicotine.
Were any of them true? CNN's Jeanne Moos gets to
the bottom of it (or does she?) in this video report.

Loaded Cindy McCain, wife of presidential hopeful John McCain,
is a kazillionaire, due to her association with Anheuser-Busch.
Her family has helped fund John's campaigns. At first the notion of
having a beer baron in the White House was exciting; until we
realized that having an oil baron there resulted in skyrocketing fuel
prices. Does that mean if McCain were elected, it would result in
higher beer prices? Craig is stockpiling, just in case.

| Remembering the Dream Friday was the 40th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. We've come a long way from signs of segregation over public doors, thanks to his leadership. We're still learning, but we're getting closer to fulfilling his dream. In his honor, we remember his message of fighting for unity through peaceful acts. Dr. King said many important things in the speech he delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, but people tend to rush to the end to hear the touching "I Have a Dream" segment and don't hear his complete message. It would be a shame if those words were to become lost over time. Therefore, here is Dr. King's inspirational speech in its entirety. |
