Michelle Pfeiffer is still lookin’ fierce at the ripe old age of 49. Damn, what is it with Ashton Kutcher and all these older sexy women?

T.R. Knight revealed he’ll be a bridesmaid when his BFF (or fag hag as I like to call her) Katherine Heigl gets married in December to singer Josh Kelley.

Lindsay Lohan seems to be filming some kind of commercial involving Superheroes. No one knows what the hell it is, but she looks damn hot if you ask me.

After reviving the fledgling Batman franchise, Christian Bale is now going to be starring in the Terminator. Since, you know, Arnold is just a tad busy.

Pete Wentz is yet again talking about how much he wishes he were gay. Well, sweetie you seem to make out with men any change you get so maybe a part of you is?

Katherine Heigl’s getting a lot of flack after calling her hit film Knocked Up sexist and the George/Izzie plotline on Grey’s Anatomy a “ratings ploy”. But girlfriend is 100% right. Keep it real!

Now that the writer’s strike has paralyzed network television, it seems CBS is going to fill the gap with episodes of Showtime’s Weeds and Dexter. But of course, the edited versions.

Jake Gyllenhaal has been tapped to play Hall of Famer Joe Namath in an upcoming Biopic. Hm, will this be Jake’s road to Oscar gold?

Justin Timberlake

Any popular boy band has its fair share of a gay following, and ‘N Sync was not exception. Just the idea of four or five men traveling the world together on a bus, singing, dancing, and pelvic thrusting in matching outfits reeks of homoeroticism. But Justin Timberlake’s support from the gay community has followed him into his solo career. In 2002 he was chosen as one of The Advocate’s “10 Coolest Straight People.” When asked about when he first became aware of his gay following he replied, ” It was always there, and I have always been aware of it. I’m the kind of artist who wants to know all of his audience and what they’re about.” Back when Justin was still dating actress Cameron Diaz, she proclaimed Justin loved all of his fans–including the gay ones. “Justin loves all of his fans. People adore him across the board, and he’s not uncomfortable with any part of it. We love the gays!”

Justin’s fun pop music and his relationship with gay fave Britney Spears have surely helped him to stay in the hearts of gay men everywhere, which is why it was particularly ironic when his band mate Lance Bass came out of the closet in 2006. In response he said, “Lance is one of my great friends. I support him and wish him all the happiness in the world.” If further proof was needed Justin Timberlake is a gay icon, just go to any gay dance club on a Friday night and I’ll bet money you’re bound to hear screaming and see arms flying when SexyBack blasts through the speakers.

David Beckham

It’s rare that a male athlete is not only a gay icon, but that he openly embraces and encourages the adoration from the gay community. British soccer star David Beckham says he and his wife, Spice Girl Victoria “Posh” Beckham, fight over which one of them the gays love more. His good looks, chiseled body, and infectious charm have made him irresistible. In 2005 David moaned he thought Rugby player Gavin Henson was stealing his gay fans. “I think I have lost a lot of my gay fans to Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson. It is a shame as I really love them.”

He told Sports Illustrated, “Being a gay icon is a great honor for me. I’m quite sure of my feminine side, and I’ve not got a problem with that at all. These days it’s the norm, and it should be.” Even gay Lord of the Rings actor Sir Ian McKellen admires Beckham. “David Beckham is a beautiful man. He’s got a nice smile. I spoke to him at a party. He’s a gay icon and I know he likes it.” Beckham cemented his status as a gay icon when he and his wife Victoria did a racy photoshoot for W Magazine in which he wore nothing but women’s underwear.

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera got her start in the business in the Mickey Mouse Club along with fellow pop stars Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, and followed them into the pop world during the teen pop explosion of the 90’s. Her debut album sold 10 million copies in the US alone–at least some of those 10 million fans were bound to be gay. But it was her sophomore effort Stripped that really made the gay community fall in love with her. Recruiting lesbian rock singer/songwriter Linda Perry to help bring her vision to life, Aguilera made an eclectic album called “Stripped”–a title that both represented her newfound exhibitionism (see “Dirrty”) and the emotional nakedness found in the lyrical messages of the album.

The gay community was particularly stricken by the second single “Beautiful” which became an anthem for gay people–especially after the release of the music video. The video contained images of a transvestite getting dressed, and two gay men kissing and holding hands on a bench while people looked on in disgust. GLAAD (The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) awarded Aguilera for her positive images of LGBT people in her video. At the ceremony she said, “It’s a universal anthem for anyone and everyone who feels discriminated against just for being who they are.” Additionally, she commented on the song and video in The Advocate saying, “A lot of the gay people that write me say that me being true to myself and putting that in my songs is inspirational to them. So it’s almost my tribute to them, to let them feel that the turmoil they might be feeling because they feel like outsiders is OK.” Gay actor Robert Gant and director John Cameron Mitchell have both been quoted as saying the song moved them. Aguilera has even hinted that she may be bisexual. She told Zoo magazine, “I love experimenting with my sexuality. If that means girls then so be it. It would be wrong to hide this side of my personality.” To add to that, she is best friends with gay make-up artist Steve Solitto, whom she mentioned in her interview with The Advocate, and even had drag queens attend her recent baby shower.

In her interview with the Advocate, she talked about her relationships with gay people. “It used to be, the only good relationships I ever had were with gay men. That was before I met Jordy.” In that same interview, she makes it clear where she stands on gay marriage. “I never get people that think [being gay] is some kind of choice. You might be able to suppress it, but why would you live life that way? It really saddens me. I’ve heard stories of parents saying, “I’ll be there, but I can’t treat it as a real marriage.” Legally or not, it’s still a unity of two people’s love for each other.” The diva persona, the in your face sexuality reminiscent of Madonna, the messages of self-acceptance in her music, and her over-the-top performance style have made Aguilera a gay fave from the fiery red streaks to the assless chaps through the Rosie The Riveter bandana.

Singer Jennifer Hudson caught the eye of the gay audience when she appeared on American Idol and was preemptively eliminated–in one of the most shocking eliminations in the show’s 6 year history. Her big gospel belt and her crazy hair and outfits made her lovable. After leaving American Idol she began fading into oblivion until getting a call from the producers of Dreamgirls–who were making a film version of the Tony-winning Broadway musical. Jennifer landed the part of Effie White, and it began Jennifer’s journey to super stardom and Oscar glory.

Dreamgirls was already a gay fave the first time around and the movie version was no different. The movie–written and directed by gay Oscar nominee Bill Condon (Chicago)–was no different, as it was embraced by gay people all across America. They showed up in droves to cheer Miss Hudson on as she belted out that signature Dreamgirls number “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going”, which reportedly had people standing up in the theater in many cities.

When asked about her relationships with gay people in The Advocate she said, “[There are] about a hundred of ‘em [her gay friends]. Girls don’t like me. People say, ‘Oh, here comes Jennifer and a bunch of dudes.’ And gay guys always recognize me when I’m out. I love that. It happens so much — even if I have a hat and sunglasses on — that when I see a group of gay guys and they don’t, I think What’s wrong with them? I even asked Bill [Condon] about it. I said, ‘Why are all my friends gay men?’ And he said, ‘Oh, I know why.’ But then he still wouldn’t explain it to me!”

Starring alongside Jennifer in the hit film Dreamgirls was pop singer Beyonce Knowles who has quite the gay following of her own. Popular urban blogger Clay Cane talked about how he walked into a black gay club with a shirt that said “Beyonce Sucks” and the looks he got were so nasty he thought he was going to get lynched.

Beyonce’s upbeat dance music, her over the top costume choices, and her signature manic performance style are what have made her one of this generation’s top gay icons–particularly with black gay men. In an interview with Instinct magazine she talked about her gay uncle who died of AIDS. “I never mixed Christianity with how I felt (about him). I am about faith and spirituality more so than religion,” Knowles told the magazine. “Doing right by others and not judging.” Beyonce added she wouldn’t be upset if she had a gay son. “(I’d say) I love him for the person he is with no expectations back.”

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway first appeared on the scene in Disney film The Princess Diaries alongside pop singer Mandy Moore and gay icon Julie Andrews, but really caught the attention of gay people when she played the wife of Jake Gyllenhaal in groundbreaking gay romance Brokeback Mountain, and later an assistant to Meryl Streep at a popular fashion magazine in The Devil Wears Prada.

Anne has said she’s considering becoming a nun because it’s a profession completely devoid of vanity–but wouldn’t be able to do it because of the Catholic church’s stance on gay people. “I do disagree with a couple of the stances of the Catholic Church. The most important one to me is because my older brother is gay. It’s important for me to be able to love him completely and freely and it’s important for me to spread beliefs in the world that are not going to limit people in their love.” Additionally Anne revealed in early 2006 that her brother was getting married. “My older brother, Mike, is getting married to his partner of five years, Josh, this fall. I’m gonna be a bridesmaid!”

Once, Anne and her friends were headed to a party at the Gramercy Park Hotel, but the doorman didn’t recognize her and they were turned away. Instead, Anne and her friends took a detour to a gay bar for men known as “bears” and reportedly were welcome with open arms.

In 2006, Anne was honored as one of the Out 100, a list of influential gays and gay friendlies compiled by Out magazine. With her big doe eyes, beautiful smile, and on-screen charisma and likability, Anne seems to have become this generation’s Julia Roberts. She just needs to find her Rupert Everett.

Kathy Griffin

Comedian Kathy Griffin has made a career out of ragging on celebrities, and it’s worked well for her, even if she claims after all these years to still be on the D-List.

Gay.com asked her about her two “main gays” who have been featured on her hit Emmy-winning reality show My Life on the D-List and she said, “Dennis and Tony really are my two best friends, a lot of my fans are gay and I do lots of gay events.”

She even featured rumored-to-be-gay figure skater Johnny Weir on her show, and he gave Kathy and her assistant a skating lesson. This was of course after Johnny made a joke about Kathy some saw as offensive. After Johnny skated poorly in the Winter Olympics he said, ”I had 827 e-mail fan mail messages from fans. ‘I told a good friend of mine about that, and he said, ‘Now you’re a D-level celebrity.’ I said, ‘Great, I’m Kathy Griffin.’ ” But once Johnny explained it was really a compliment they both kissed and made-up.

Kathy tore Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton a new one for her negative comments toward gay people. “The whole gay issue, I gotta tell you–when I hear Patricia talking her bullshit and saying it’s not in the Bible that gay people should be together - those are the pieces of information that I can’t forget about. Patty Heaton has the gayest makeup person you’ve ever seen. I can’t get beyond it. It’s the hypocrisy.”

Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal became famous after starring in The Day After Tomorrow with Dennis Quaid and Emmy Rossum, but it was his starring role in Ang Lee film Brokeback Mountain that has made Jake Gyllenhaal the premiere male actor for audiences.

Anticipation was white hot for the film, which is the first high profile gay movie with known actors. Jake talked about a pivotal scene in the movie where he and Heath Ledger reunite after years of not seeing each other. “Heath almost broke my nose in [a kissing] scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me. And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the [bleep] beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn’t hurting as badly as I did after that one.”

The film was universally praised by critics, and earned both he and Heath Ledger Oscar nominations. The budget for the film was $14 million dollars and it went on to gross $180 million worldwide and $32 million on DVD.

And in an interview with Out magazine he addressed rumors that he might be bisexual, “You know it’s flattering when there’s a rumor that says I’m bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I’m open to whatever people want to call me. I’ve never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don’t think I would be afraid of it if it happened.”

Bree Van De Kamp

Usually it’s real people that are idolized by gays and lesbians everywhere but every once in a while a fictional character comes along that people just can’t get enough of. Desperate Housewives’ Bree Van De Kamp may be a Republican, religious, judgmental, neurotic, and a recovering homophobe, but most gay men that watch the show would categorize her as “fierce”. Not since Sex and the City’s Samantha Jones has a fictional character on a women’s program been so wholeheartedly embraced by gay men.

She can bake you cookies, cakes, rolls, muffins, sew and iron your clothes, perfect your garden, get your house spic and span, reupholster your furniture and clean your gutters. But don’t get it twisted–this domestic goddess is no sissy. She may be the perfect housewife but she’ll pop you with her shotgun in a hot second if you cross her. One of Bree’s most famous quotes is about her husband and possible infidelity. “When Rex started going to all those medical conferences, I wanted in the back of his mind that he had a loving wife at home with a loaded Smith & Wesson.”

And that may be exactly what draws women and gay men to her character. She posesses all the wonderful qualities we expect out of women, yet at the same time has the strength, confidence, and attitude we stereotypically expect from men. And it of course doesn’t hurt that she has a hot gay son.

Katherine Heigl

Some people might have recognized Heigl from the WB show Roswell, but most people know the name Katherine Heigl from ABC’s breakout drama Grey’s Anatomy which has become a television phenomenon, and won countless awards. Though Grey’s Anatomy does have a sizable gay fan base, it’s not the show alone that has made Heigl a fave with the gays. In late 2006, the national enquirer broke the news that a scuffle took place on the set of Grey’s Anatomy involving Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey, in which Washington blurted out “I’m not your little faggot like T.R. [Knight].” Washington denied that he ever said it, and a few weeks later the buzz about incident had died down.

But at the Golden Globes this year, creator Shonda Rhimes was asked about what happened, and Washington stormed the mic saying “No, I did not call T.R. a faggot. It never happened.” There was an uncomfortable silence in the room, and you could see many of his co-stars put their heads down in shame. Access Hollywood interviewed Katherine after the incident and she sounded off in defense of her friend. “I’m going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period. I’m sorry, that did not need to be said, I’m not okay with it.” She continued, “I don’t think [Washington] means it the way he comes off…But, T.R. is my best friend. I will throw down for that kid. I will beat you up. I will use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt his feelings.”

Since then Heigl has been seen as the coolest fag hag on television. Popular gay site AfterElton.com says “The triumph of Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl at this year’s Emmy Awards — not her win so much as the stylish way in which she managed to merge old-Hollywood glamour with diva-like moxie (it takes chutzpah, after all, to blurt out an expletive when hearing one’s name called, or to correct the robotic announcer who mangled its pronunciation) — indicates we just might have a new gay icon in the making.”

T.R. Knight & Katherine Heigl, also known as George and Izzie looked glowing as they spent a night out at the movies together and stopped for some autographs and pictures.

More pics after the jump. (more…)

Miss Katherine Heigl graces the cover of In Style magazine this month, and even does a spread inside as a brunette. I’m thrilled for Katherine and her well-deserved Emmy win as well as her success with Knocked Up which was hilarious.

I hope 27 Dresses doesn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for Grey’s this Thursday!

I know everybody’s got their favorite big movie franchise, and mine is the X-Men movies (even if the third one did blow). Us X-Men fans have been given hope by a new article suggesting another sequel could be in the works, in addition to the Wolverine and Magneto spin-offs.

NBC’s midseason drama Lipstick Jungle, based on a novel by Sex and the City novelist Candace Bushnell, has just let go of two of its executive producers–including the showrunner. Uh-oh. I hope Brooke Shields doesn’t upset Tom Cruise and turn to the pills again.

Katharine McPhee tells People magazine about a new temporary tattoo she got in Hollywood. It looks cute as does she. I can’t stop watching her Love Story video–especially those hypnotizing legs! If this is the effect they have on a gay man I can’t imagine how many straight guys have that video on repeat.

Monster’s Ball co-stars Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton are reuniting for a film called Tulia where Berry will play a lawyer for the NAACP defending a group of black men arrested under suspicious conditions in 1999. There is no word as to who Thornton will be playing yet.

Oscar nominee and one of my favorite actresses Julianne Moore has ditched her fiery red hair for light and airy blonde. I don’t know how I feel about it–I like my red heads, and this blonde look reminds me of her role in Freedomland–and the last thing I want is to ever think about that movie ever again. Ever.

Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin star Seth Rogen is rumored to be involved in the writing of a film based on the Green Hornet, and may even possibly be starring in the movie as well. He may have an ass flatter than a pancake, but after seeing Knocked Up I may have a mini-crush on yet another funny Jew. Don’t be mad Shia. I still love you.

Actor Mandy Patinkin has suddenly announced his departure from CBS hit drama Criminal Minds, and is citing creative differences as the reason. I’m really curious to know what the real reason is, but there’s always gag orders on these types of things so I guess we’ll never know. I really liked that show whenever I could randomly catch it, but I don’t think I’ll be tuning in anymore without Mandy to anchor the show.

More pictures are surfacing from the set of Katherine Heigl’s new movie 27 Dresses where she plays a bridesmaid that takes part in 27 different weddings. I’m loving me some Katherine Heigl these days, especially after seeing Knocked Up. Congrats to her on her Emmy nomination!

Anne had some interesting things to say in this month’s issue of Marie Claire:

On bursting into tears during Brokeback Mountain:

“Didn’t stop for an hour. And Kirsten Dunst, who was going out with Jake, was like two rows behind me, and [Jake’s sister] Maggie Gyllenhaal was right behind me, and we were all crying so hard; my boyfriend offered Maggie his hankerchief, and she was sharing it with Kirsten. And I’m thinking, That’s my boyfriend’s – can I have my Kleenex that you b-tches are using?”

On not being a prude:

“I love [the band] Peaches. When people are all like, ‘Do you think you have a squeaky-clean image?’ I’m like, ‘Could a squeaky-clean girl know all the lyrics to ‘Teaches of Peaches’? I mean, my favorite song is called ‘F—k the Pain Away.’”

On watching Brokeback Mountain for the first time at the Venice Film Festival:

“I’m not in the movie until, like, 45 minutes into, and I start to get sick to my stomach that I’m gonna be the one to f–k it up. So before I came on-screen, I run outside, because I can’t handle it.”

On her image:

“I’m not a walking one-woman drama show. I’m pretty bad entertainment – I’m not particularly well dressed, and I haven’t graduated from college. I think you should like Natalie Portman a lot more.”

On her nudity policy:

“I don’t actively search for [movies] that I can get naked in. It’s not the most fun requirement of the job, but nor is it something that I would ever NOT do a job because of. It is what it is. Some people choose not to do it on moral grounds; I think that’s a shoddy argument. I turned down another movie because it was going to show a vagina – not mine, but somebody else’s. And I didn’t believe that it was actually necessary to the story.”

I’ve liked Anne Hathaway since The Princess Diaries and fell in love with her after I saw Brokeback Mountain. To me, she’s this generation’s Julia Roberts. But I just lost some respect for her with that last comment.

First of all, she contradicted herself. She said she would never NOT do a movie because of the nudity, then she goes onto explain a situation in which she in fact did. The movie she’s referring to is Knocked Up, which I just saw recently and it was very good. I remember hearing a while back that Anne dropped out of the film and was replaced with Katherine Heigl, but there was never a reason stated as to why, though some speculated it may have been because of the frontal nudity.

I chose not to believe that rumor because it seemed so stupid to me that such a smart and talented actress would turn down a great role just because of some nudity–mostly because, as Anne herself said, the vagina was not hers. I actually think it was a prosthetic because in the film the vagina is shown as the baby is poking its head out.

Then Anne says she didn’t feel like it was necessary to the story, which is a really dumb thing to say. It’s a comedy. One of the friends thinks there’s something wrong because he hears Katherine Heigl’s character screaming, so he runs into the room even though everyone tells him not to, and when he does, he sees the baby’s head poking out of her vagina. It’s an absolutely hilarious scene, and it wasn’t gratuitous as all.

I’m sorry Anne, as much as I love you and your work, you just went down a notch on my respect meter for turning down a great role because of 5 seconds of someone else’s nudity.

The 59th Annual Emmy nominations have been announced and boy am I pissed. The overrated Heroes stole a spot from the superior dramas like Friday Night Lights and Dexter, and Two and a Half Men somehow managed to yet again get a nod even though it’s one of the worst comedies on television.

The brilliant Michael C. Hall was snubbed as well, which I will be bitter about until next July, and Weeds was snubbed of a very well deserved nomination for Best Comedy Series to make room for the just okay Entourage and the embarrassing Two and a Half Men.

There are some things I’m very happy about, though. America Ferrera and Vanessa Williams got respective nods in the Lead Actress and Supporting Actress categories and I so hope they both win. Also, finally Kevin Dillon was given a nod for his comic portrayal of Johnny Drama on HBO’s Entourage. Sally Field received a nod for her powerful and poignant performance on Brothers and Sisters this year, and my favorite Grey’s Anatomy actress Katherine Heigl finally got her nomination for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

Kudos to Felicity Huffman for being the only actress from Desperate Housewives nominated this year–she gave a fantastic performance in that heart-racing episode called “Bang”, but honestly I’m hoping it finally goes to my girl Mary-Louise Parker who, though she already has an Emmy from Angels In America, has deserved another one for Weeds since day one.

Congrats to all!

See the rest of the nominations here

Katharine McPhee, on the heels of releasing her new video for her second single Love Story, has just signed on to play the lead role in an indie film called The Last Caller. She describes it as a “dark romantic comedy”.

Larry King is apparently not happy Anderson Cooper’s getting better treatment at CNN than he is. Here’s a clip taken why the cameras were off where Larry is seen complaining that Anderson’s segment is longer than his. Oops.

As I’m sure you all know by now, Paris Hilton has been ordered to go back to jail. Too bad, so sad. But now reports are coming out that she is not eating or sleeping, and has been provided with psychoactive drugs. Can she just suck it up and do her time? Jesus.

Pro-Golfer Sergio Garcia is putting the gays in a tizzy with his tight pants and bubble butt. I don’t find him that attractive, but I suppose when 70% of golfers look like Bill O’Reilly, you take what you can get.

Jake Gyllenhaal, who is of course rumored to be dating divorcee and newly crowned box office queen Reese Witherspoon was seen departing LAX airport.

Things are looking up for Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight and looking down for Isaiah Washington. Katherine has a hit film at the box office and T.R. just got a big raise. Meanwhile, post-rehab homophobe Isaiah Washington has found out he has been fired from Grey’s Anatomy. Cue the tears.

Jesse Metcalfe was photographed soaking up the Miami sun with a male friend by the pool. Doesn’t do much to dispel those gay rumors he so hated back in the day, but I ain’t complaining.

We’ve all been hearing the rumors forever, but it looks like the Spice Girls finally are reuniting. Geri and Emma have been seen leaving recording studios, and they both are reportedly working on new material for the girls to sing.

Ms. Heigl looks beautiful on this month’s Allure magazine. I can’t wait to see her new movie Knocked Up–it looks hilarious.

By the way, did anyone catch the Grey’s Anatomy season finale last night? Is it just me or was it totally lame? I liked the emotional Cristina moment at the end, but overall I just felt like it was boring. The episodes leading up to it were better.

Eh, either way it was #1 in the ratings last night with 22 million viewers–except the last 15 minutes which only 15 million people happened to see.

After being publicly humiliated after a nasty voice mail he left for his 11 year old daughter was leaked, leaving his agency, CAA, and dragging Kim Basinger back into court, Alec Baldwin is now asking NBC to let him out of his 30 Rock contract early so that he can spend more time with his family. Instead, he needs to just get a really good therapist.

It seems the Golden Globes are no longer afraid of the Desperate Housewives. After shifting their telecast to Monday nights to avoid competition, they are now moving the show back to Sunday nights despite seeing a large ratings increase from 2006 and topping off with 20 million viewers. I think one of Nicollette Sheridan’s tits can take down the Globes all on its own.

Even after all these years Julia Roberts is still one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and even while pregnant. Here’s some recent pics of her while exiting her trailer on the set of her new movie with Ryan Reynolds, Fireflies In The Garden. The movie, which comes out in 2008, also stars Hayden Panettiere and Carrie Anne Moss.

There’s a current debate over whether CNN hottie Anderson Cooper showers at the gym in the nude, or with underwear on. Page Six claims that in the new age of the camera phone, you can never be too careful, so Anderson refuses to shower in the buff–given the attention he gets from both sexes. Whether he’s in underwear or naked, the point is–Anderson Cooper…wet. Pictures, please.

Four of the Spice Girls, Sporty, Baby, Ginger, and Posh, reunited for the christening of Geri Halliwell’s baby Bluebell this past weekend. Unfortunately, Scary–Mel B, could not attend–as she had just recently given birth to a newborn baby of her own. Baby looks pretty bad, though she is four months pregnant. I really wish they would do a reunion tour. I’d totally do drag.

Grey’s Anatomy beauty Katherine Heigl has signed on to play the lead role in the romantic comedy 27 Dresses. Written by the screenwriter of The Devil Wears Prada, it’s a film about a woman who has been a bridesmaid 27 times, and once again she is enlisted to play the role, but this time it’s her sister’s wedding, and her sister is marrying the man she’s in love with.

Dryden Mitchell, the lead singer of rock band Alien Ant Farm (you might remember them for that cover they did of Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal so many years ago), has bared it all for a new tour DVD the band has released called Busted. You’ll either find it really hot, really hilarious, really disturbing, or all three. Straight men are puzzling creatures.

Disney recently announced that production has finally started on the third installment of the Toy Story franchise. The film will come out in 2010, and both Tom Hanks and Tim Allen have signed back on to voice Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Hopefully it’ll be just as good as the first two movies, and not just some lame attempt to cash in on nostalgia. Bitches.
