It seems as if just about everyone has an opinion on Jay vs. Conan, so it
was only a matter of time before Joan Rivers contributed her two cents. Joan, who had a brief but tumultuous stint hosting her own late-night talk
show on Fox in the 1980s, offered her thoughts to Vanity Fair magazine
while at the Sundance Film Festival promoting a documentary about her life,
A Piece of Work. The always-opinionated diva says of Jay Leno, “I think people got a good look at him and realized he ain’t funny!” But don’t count Joan on Team Coco just yet. She quipped that Conan O’Brien getting dumped by NBC was the “luckiest thing that ever happened to him. He would have ended up a failure and let go. He’s walked away with $40 million — not tragic!” In a controversial decision by NBC, Conan’s stint as the host of The Tonight Show ended on January 22, while Jay is ready to take back the reins on March 1.
It’s like celebrity gossip magazines and websites are actively engaged in a bet over who can make up the most ridiculous Angelina Jolie gossip item this week.
With this latest rumor – that Angelina Jolie and Lady Gaga were lovers – celebrity gossip has officially hit a new high. Or low, depending on your perspective.
According to Ian Halperin, author of the recent lie bestseller Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, that’s precisely what happened.
Jolie, who is reportedly bisexual, Lady Gaga, a rumored hermaphrodite, had a secret rendezvous at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel that lasted all night, he says.
“Angie is obsessed with Lady Gaga,” a source said.
Aren’t we all. That definitely confirms the affair!
This supposed Lady Gaga tryst is not the first time Angelina Jolie has been accused of cheating on Brad Pitt. Heck, it’s not even the first time this week!
Last week, In Touch spoke to Anna Kowalski, a housekeeper who worked at the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC, who claimed Angelina had sex with a dialect coach.
“The room was a disaster,” Anna said. “There were empty vodka bottles everywhere. The bed was covered with black rubber sheets … there were sex toys on it.”
This was widely denied, but it was just the beginning.
Then two days ago, four different tabloids unleashed a deluge of reports claiming Brangelina was done for … and Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are totally back on.
Jolie has previously spoken of her desire to have an open relationship. For whatever reason, Star, Life & Style and their ilk seem determined to tell us she’s in one.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Edward Norton, Chace Crawford, Jason Bateman and other stars have united to a film a web-based video campaign urging Congress to pass the first-ever climate and clean-energy bill. The video, called “This Is Our Moment,” was made by the NRDC Action Fund — and Leo is a trustee. To watch your favorite actors try to save the planet, visit www.thisisourmoment.org.
A year and a half ago, Christina Applegate announced she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer and had undergone a double mastectomy. Now, the Emmy-winning actress, 38, is stronger than ever and has a brand-new outlook on life. “You look at life a little bit differently,” Christina told In Touch while being honored at the EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund event on January 27. “You don’t let any stress into your life, and you do a total 180 from where you were.” Christina, who has been dedicating a lot of her time to promoting awareness about the disease, admits that she has plenty of things to accomplish in the future. “I want to work with Meryl Streep, I want to go to Greece, and I may want to jump out of a plane,” she said. “And babies, lots of babies. Well, not lots of babies, but a couple!”
Groundhog Day (February 2) is just around the corner, and the misguided folks at PETA are generating pointless controversy by demanding its icon be freed.
That would be Punxsutawney Phil, the affable rodent who emerges each year at Gobbler’s Knob to dictate if winter shall continue or early spring commence.
For those keeping score, he’s prognosticated six more weeks of winter in 98 of his 112 weather readings – although PETA hopes he won’t make his 113th.
The controversial animal-rights group wants to take Punxsutawney Phil away from Gobbler’s Knob and give the guy a retirement at an animal sanctuary.
In his place, they are proposing a robot groundhog.
Punxsutawney Phil rules. Groundhog Day is fun. Eat it, PETA!
Gemma Vaughan, PETA’s animals in entertainment specialist (really) fired off a letter to Punxsutawney Groundhog Club president William Deeley this week, imploring the organization to forgo the use of real rodents in future Groundhog Days.
Deeley responded in a statement to the Associated Press that the world-famous groundhog is “being treated better than the average child in Pennsylvania.”
Furthermore, Phil’s treatment conforms to the standards of the state’s agriculture department, which visits him at the town’s Groundhog Museum annually.
Still, PETA V.P. Tracy Reiman is lobbying for an animatronic Phil, who “would attract new and curious tourists” to Punxsutawney’s annual event. Please.
You know what actually attracts tourists? Tradition. You know what might actually help animals receive more ethical treatment en masse? Not this!
Are ridiculous PR stunts really the best way to advance a cause, or are they just out for attention? These people are the Tila Tequila of non-profits.
You tell us, though: I’m on team …
There’s little debate that Super Bowl XLIV will pit the top teams in each conference against each other.
But there’s already a great deal of controversy surrounding commercials that will air on CBS during the game. A pro-choice group, for example, is taking extreme exception to the planned Tim Tebow ad on the February 7 broadcast.
Many liberals might have more to shout over now:
CBS continues to stall over a commercial from ManCrunch.com, a gay dating website. The network has told the company that ad space is full, though many spots remain unsold. Said spokesman Dominic Friesen:
“It’s clearly a form of discrimination that we’re getting the runaround, that we’re not being told the truth. Quite frankly, there is a lot of ad space available – a lot of the companies that typically advertise during the Super Bowl are not advertising this year.”
In the 30-second spot, two men are watching the game, reach into the chip bowl simultaneously… and then make out. Watch it below and sound off: Is this a double standard, considering the approval for the aforementioned pro-life ad?
Tila Tequila is good.
You’ve really gotta hand it to this professional attention-grabber for doing everything she can to sell her fake pregnancy story. First, came the the website announcement. Then, the photoshopped sonogram.
Now, Tila has moved on to phases three and four of her plan: shop for baby clothes and hint at a father for her imaginary unborn child.
The paparazzi-addicted loon was spotted today at Kitson’s Kids in Los Angeles. She aptly held up a toddler – as real as the tyke supposedly growing inside her belly – for cameras to see…
Meanwhile, after initially saying the sperm donor responsible for planting his seed inside her troubled womb was a war veteran, Tila is now teasing that it’s a famous rapper who has been in trouble with the law.
Is this all part of her GAME? You tell us. Consider these Tweets from last night:
Ok, fine. Hey, The Game, are you the father of Tila Tequila’s unborn child? Call us!
Rihanna doesn’t dwell on the past. She’s got the tattoos to prove it.
Along with the Grammy Awards Sunday comes the unfortunate reminder of last year’s incident with Chris Brown on the eve of the music biz’s biggest night.
But the “Russian Roulette” singer is focusing on the future. To that end, on Ellen today, Rihanna expounded on the latest of her “approximately 13″ tattoos.
“It reads, ‘Never a failure, always a lesson,’” the 21-year-old said. “Basically, it’s OK to make a mistake, just don’t make them twice.” Words to live by!

Which, naturally, leads to questions about her current status in the land of love, where she has recently been linked to baseball star Matt Kemp.
“Are you dating anyone now?” inquired Ellen, never one to hold back.
“No, I’m single,” replies Rihanna, echoing what she said yesterday.
“Really? What about the guy we keep seeing you with?” asked a surprised Ellen, referring to Kemp, who has been seen frequently with Rihanna.
To which Rihanna simply answers with a laugh. While we would love more info from her, at least she’s smiling before the Grammys this year.
