Katharine McPhee

Looks like the reason Katharine McPhee was saved from being booted off American Idol this past week maybe be due to her religious affiliation. Can the people at the Church of Scientology played a role in saving her from being voted off? Looks like this might be the reason. Poor old Chris Daughtry, how can one compete with alien power.

We all heard of how Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible III was saved with Scientologist buying up hundreds tickets at a time. This time around its mindlessly dialing numbers.

Fergie’s bad singing

Unsuspecting students from LA’s San Fernando High School were subjected to some awful singing by the Black Eyed Peas’ own Fergie. The high school had won a contest sponsor by Verizon Wireless call Rock Ur Skool. The winning prize was a private performance by the Black Eyed Peas.

The whole concert started out great until the middle of their song Don’t Lie when they started to play Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses. That’s when the high schooler were treated to a special cruel and unusual punishment for going to the concert in the hot midday heat.

CaCee Cobb and Jessica Simpson

It was bound to happen soon or later. The parting of Jessica Simpson and her personal assistant/BFF CaCee Cobb.

After more than two years as Jessica Simpson’s personal assistant, CaCee Cobb finally told her childhood friend that she wanted out. On May 7, Cobb celebrated her last day on the job with friends at Arnie Morton’s Steakhouse in L.A. Fighting tears, Simpson, 25, raised her glass and said to Cobb, “You are my best friend. I will be your best friend forever.” Simpson’s rep confirms the professional parting of ways to Us, “It’s true. They remain close.”

Now by leaving Jessica, CaCee can now go and try to snag Nick Lachey all to herself. A source says, “CaCee’s still really close with Nick and adores him.” There you have it, they will probably hook up real soon.

The people behind Ocean’s 13, namely George Clooney and the producers are getting a little piss that Brad Pitt has not officially signed on the dotted line yet. Brad is currently in Africa with Angelina Jolie and his adopted children awaiting the birth of this son. A source says:

Brad has not been able to confirm 100 per cent that he will be available — and that’s making George very anxious.

His best pal is out of the country and looking forward to being a dad for the first time. But the movie is only weeks away now.

Instead of being there to work on the project, Brad is in the middle of Africa. People are worried that he will prefer to carry on being a dad rather than go back to work.

The easiest solution to all this limbo is to go and ask Angelina if Brad can leave to make a movie. They should probably wear a cup, there’s no guarantee Angie will not kick the crap out of the person. There’s just no use in asking Brad, when the real person with the pants is Angelina.

Looks like another poor box office return for Tom Cruise.

Kate Moss is Back

Supermodel Kate Moss is going to do what many celebrities are doing, starting up her own designer label. Kate says she will make her fashion label the best and biggest out there.

I’m going to take everyone on and I’m going to shock everyone. I know what works, I know what women want, and I know there is money to be made. My name is my brand and it’s going to be the biggest thing in fashion.

Kate will possibly name her line Kate, Mossy or Lila Loves. A friend of her tells Grazia magazine:

No contracts have been signed yet, so there is no launch date – although she is looking at getting something underway by next year. But everyone around her is being really positive about the whole thing. They think it will just grow and grow.

She is clear about the direction she wants it to take – she loves Stella’s McCartney’s clothes and would like to do something similar. Kate will be overseeing the whole design and, presumably, ensuring the clothes have enough of the ‘Kate sparkle’ that has made her a style icon.

Maybe she can also add Powder as a possible name. You get it, “Powder” as in the white stuff she snorted on a video taped.

Jenny McCarthy

Jenny McCarthy has confessed to being anorexic after giving birth to her son. Her venture to this eating disorder only lasted about two hours before she was convinced by her mother to get on Weight Watchers.

I gave birth and couldn’t get it off. I tried anorexia and that lasted for two hours. Then my mother came over and told me about WeightWatchers. I lost nine pounds in the first month.
