I doubt that this is true but the headline did make me laugh so I had to post it.

Mariah gets catty


Mariah Carey would “rather be on stage with a pig” than duet with Jennifer Lopez.

The Hero singer slammed rumours she was planning to collaborate with pregnant J.Lo, saying it would “never happen”.

When asked about a possible duet, she fumed to US TV show Inside Hollywood: “I’d rather be on stage with a pig! A duet with Jennifer Lopez and me just isn’t going to happen.”

This isn’t the first time the diva singers have come to blows. They first crossed swords in 2001 when Jennifer sampled two songs from the soundtrack to Mariah’s movie Glitter in two versions of her own hit track I’m Real for her album J.Lo.

An insider on the set of Glitter said at the time: “Mariah was so paranoid about the music getting out that we had another singer sing the temporary versions before the film was released.

“When Jennifer Lopez’s album J.Lo came out, and had the exact same song on it, we knew she had a right to be paranoid. We couldn’t believe her audacity.”

Shortly after the scandal, Mariah was interviewed for German television and questioned about fellow divas.

When asked about former Destiny’s Child singer Beyoncé Knowles, Mariah complimented her beauty and talent. But when she was questioned about Jennifer, Mariah looked incredibly uncomfortable and said: “I don’t know her.”

The feud was recently reignited when Mariah was told Jennifer has eight hours of sleep a night. She cattily laughed: “If I had the luxury of not actually having to sing my songs, I’d do that too.”

“Good Eats” is just good, silly fun, with a solid core of knowledge and intelligence behind all the goofball stuff. My kids love it.

The press release quotes Alton Brown as saying this:

“Food Network is my home and I am staying home. I’m looking forward to producing more and varied shows with the network and am especially excited about Feasting on Waves, which will bring a whole new perspective to food.”

Food Net inks three-year deal with Brown


Food Network has inked a new three-year deal with Alton Brown, which calls for him to produce new seasons of “Good Eats” and “Iron Chef America” as well as various specials this year. In addition, Brown will produce a new season of limited series “Feasting on Asphalt,” titled “Feasting on Waves,” set to premiere in the summer. “Waves” will feature Brown exploring the people, cultures and food of the Caribbean. Additional terms of Brown’s deal were not disclosed.


“Purple Monster”: The Cause Of Britney Spears’ Latest Breakdown

It is now being reported that the world’s current number one celebutard’s bizarre behavior was the result of a “purple monster” soon to be known as a “Britney Spears Cocktail”. It is a mix of Vodka, Nyquil and Red Bull. She also downed 100 prescription pills along with it, including 12 Vicodins, 6 Ritalins and 10 sleeping pills.

I don’t know which is sadder, this or Hillary crying? Has Dr Phil called Hillary yet?

What Caused Britney’s Breakdown?


It seems no one’s quite sure what set off Britney Spears’ latest breakdown.

The fallen pop star spent two nights in Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last week after failing to surrender her two sons to her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, initiating a three hour standoff with cops.

According to People magazine, Spears tested free of illegal drugs and alcohol at Cedars-Sinai.

“She tested clean,” People’s unnamed source said. “This lady is as clean as clean can be, and has been for some time.”

But London’s News of the World claims her bizarre behavior was the result of a “purple monster” mix of vodka, NyQuil and Red Bull, which she downed along with 100 prescription pills, including 12 Vicodins, six Ritalins and 10 sleeping pills.

After consuming that cocktail, Spears called her pregnant 16-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, and said she’d be taking over the spotlight soon, shouting “You’re not going to be the only f—ing Spears on the front cover of a magazine next week!” London’s News of the World reported.

However, Paul L. Doering, professor of pharmacy practice at the University of Florida, said Spears would not have been able to stand had she taken all those drugs and chased them with alcohol, let alone make a phone call.

“I can tell you without hesitation that a human being could not ingest all of those drugs and still be on this planet,” he told ABCNEWS.com. “The additive effect, the combined toxicities, the out-and-out poisonous properties of those things would send someone surely to the morgue rather than to the ER, especially if swilled down with vodka or any other alcoholic beverage.”

Bipolar Britney?

While Spears’ drug and alcohol intake is up for debate, her mental state is not. Thursday’s episode is the latest in a year-and-a-half-long binge of breakdowns, which in 2007 included shaving her head bald and beating a car with an umbrella.

TV personality Dr. Phil McGraw visited Spears in the hospital and told ETonline.com that the meeting “convinced [me] more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention.” Though he had planned to air a special talking about Spears, the television doctor said in a statement to “Entertainment Tonight” that he’d decided to shelve it because her “situation is too intense at this time.”

According to People, Spears’ bizarre behavior is the result of an undiagnosed bipolar disorder. An unnamed source close to the Spears family told People “there is no question she is bipolar … she’s had manic episodes for years.”

Spears’ weekend activities may support that claim. Though she was described as hysterical Thursday, after checking out of Cedars-Sinai early Saturday the pop star went out to dinner with a photographer where she “seemed in a really good mood” and had a “champagne mimosa to drink,” reported People magazine, quoting the restaurant manager.

While Spears was in the hospital Friday, a California Court Commission gave Federline sole physical and legal custody of their children, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James until Jan. 14, when another custody hearing is scheduled.
