Let's dish shall we?

Where do we start? Hmmm…did I just hear Britney gives 'er?

Britney Spears admits she's not a virgin
And the whole world gasps…uhhh tell us something we didn't know Brit. No offense honey, but it didn't take us very long to connect the dots on that one. "You're not a virgin" doesn't really scream stop the presses alright? You're going to have to try a little harder to shock us next time. What's the next dark secret she might yet reveal? That she's tried smoking? That she likes to "party down"? That her boobs are fake? That she doesn't write her own music? That she can't carry a note to save her life? What else lies behind that complex exterior…? It boggles the mind.

Travolta says turning down Chicago was a big mistake
Kind of regretting taking that role in BASIC now aren't ya Johnny? Wait, you've never heard of the film Basic? Well, that's the joke son…get it? Huhhhh? No one saw Basic and everyone loved Chicago. See? Stay with me here everyone.

Jerry Springer one step closer to senate bid
Oh I am sorry, I thought I just read that Jerry Springer is one step closer to a senate bid. He is one step closer to a senate bid? Well, life was fun while it lasted…the apocalypse should be starting…right about…now!

Big Brother housemate ousted
Now before we start, yes I agree that there are far too many reality shows on television right now. Bla bla bla. But I for one still have a weak spot for a few of these shlock programs like Survivor, Amazing Race and yes, Big Brother. Big Brother's concept is rather simple. 13 people are sequestered to live in a house with no contact to the outside world for 3 months all the while their every moment is being captured on film. Whoever can outwit and outplay the others and not get voted out of the house will win a boatload of money. So basically it is voyeurism at its best. However, this year they have thrown in an inspired twist. Unbeknownst prior to entering, some of the housemates have learned that they have to share living space with their ex's. (They call this the X factor…okay that is a little lame but come on it's CBS.) Ex's living with ex's? Oh boy, look out, sparks are gonna fly! Or in this case…chairs. After just over a week, producers found themselves in a strange predicament where they had to oust a player from the game because of his unpredictable behaviour. This I believe is a first in reality show history. Where someone has been eliminated from a show by the producers??? Housemate Scott Weintraub was removed from the Big Brother house after starting to show signs of losing it. He would yell at other players, screamed at the cameras egging on the watchful eye of the Big Brother and at one point started throwing chairs. Ummm hi there psycho? But in this guys defense could you imagine the potential emotional trauma that could come over someone having to live with an ex? Or in Scott's case, an ex fiancé. Especially if you didn't know you were going to have to either. It must be tough enough preparing yourself to do one of these reality shows as is, let alone than have to realize you are going to have to see an ex? The show's producers should have had the foresight that something like this could have happened. Now clearly this Scott dude has rage issues but I must admit in some ways I do feel sorry for the guy. Seeing his ex fiancé again without notice would likely reopen some emotional wounds all the while having to deal with the labours of a reality show. You can somewhat understand why he would act out of character. I think many people if they were in that situation wouldn't have been able to control their emotions either. But throwing chairs? Maybe he was a freak?

Justin Timberlake dating Cameron Diaz
Just so I have this straight in my head, Mr. Rock Your Body has now been linked with Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Alyssa Milano and Cameron Diaz??? All hail King Justin! Let us praise his mighty ways!

J'Lo says she is no diva
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! What's that J'Lo? I can't hear you from the roars of my laughter! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Zing! Take that Hollywood!

...but that's just my opinion.
