Can Idina Menzel Be Rachel’s Mom On ‘Glee’?
Celebrity casting news is nothing new with Glee — Neil Patrick Harris and Jennifer Lopez are among the stars who have already signed on to guest star — but rumors about Idina Menzel’s guest role have us giddy with excitement.
The show has already announced that Idina will play the director of rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline, but the New York Daily News’s Rush & Molloy hints that the Broadway star’s character may also be Lea Michele’s character’s biological mom…. More »
Poll: How Did J. Lo Do On SNL?
It’s been a rough week for Jennifer Lopez, what with the loss of her record contract and all. But she showed no sense of buckling under the pressure of the media scrutiny of her life as she hosted Saturday Night Live last night (except maybe in the somewhat off-key singing of her two songs during the show).
Like any SNL ep, the show had highs and lows. Our favorite moments: the “We Are The World” remake parody at the start of… More »

Gaga’s ‘Cosmo’ Cover: Sex On The Brain
Lady Gaga’s on the cover of the April issue of Cosmopolitan, and if her granny panties aren’t enough to make you snatch it off the newsstand shelves, maybe some of the provocative content advertised inside will. If the coverlines are to be believed there will be lots of sex and love and some butt naked. Sounds like every issue of Cosmo to us.
What do you think? Will you be picking it up?… More »

Stars On The Spot: What’s Your Thing?
With lots of celebrities milling around at last night’s USA event, we took the opportunity to ask some of them one question: “What’s your thing?”
Jeff Goldblum:
Wearing one contact and salty snacks.
Piper Perabo:
Apricot oil and reading.
Sharif Atkins from White Collar (pictured):
As I’ve gotten older — I just turned 35 — my thing is a really good suit. Usually I’m a jeans and t-shirt guy but lately I’ve been acquiring some really nice suits, as you can tell. This outfit here, if… More »
Fan Fic: An Encounter With Robert Downey Jr
I was sitting in a fancy-yet-understated bar overlooking the West Side Highway, watching the lights go down over the classy-yet-understated New Jersey shoreline. I was sipping my Heffeweisen, even though I was an urban, hip young woman, because I come from a small, rustic town where the women can do things like fix a tire and drink beer, while still being feminine. I could do neither of those things, but I could drink beer.
It was Christmas Eve, but I was… More »

Video of the Day: Tyler Jewell’s Mom
Some people would be embarrassed if their mothers recorded a video of them lip-syncing to “You’re The First, The Last, My Everything” by Barry White while dressed in a skintight suit and pretending to ski in front of a green screen. Snowboarder Tyler Jewell, who is set to snowboard in the Olympics tomorrow, is not. In fact, he posted the adorably cheesy video his mom made on YouTube. Wonder what Mrs. Jewell thinks about becoming an Internet celebrity?

‘New Moon’ Torso Is Not Taylor Lautner’s
Controversy of the Day: It turns out that Taylor Lautner’s torso on the New Moon poster released last year — you know, the one you drooled over — appears to belong to a model, not Tay-Tay. We think someone most definitely needs to answer for this egregious instance of Photoshop liberty-taking.
First of all, if you saw the movie, you know little Lautner didn’t need any computerized bulking-up. That boy looked all real in New Moon, and we’re pretty sure Summit… More »
