You know you love those Gossip Girl billboards (the OMFG one just wasn’t enough). Now they feature real-life quotes like: “Mindblowingly inappropriate!” so says the Parents Television Council. The show’s creator Josh Schwartz agrees; he blames the network: “Itâ??s bad. It feels bad. Itâ??s wrong. When you drive by a poster for your show and it says, ‘Every parentâ??s nightmare,’ you have mixed feelings.”
Lauren Conrad will guest-star as herself on the CW’s Privileged. Yep.
As if I’d subject myself to another Heidi Montag music video. As if you’d be lured by Heidi, crooning to what looks like it sounds like an aerobics mix. As if.
Dr. Dre’s 20-year-old son, Andre Young Jr., was found “unresponsive” by his mother at his home in Woodland Hills, Calif on Saturday. An autopsy was performed Monday, and no foul play is expected.
Jennifer Hudson will sing the national anthem Thursday, the night Barack Obama will address the Democratic National Convention. I just don’t want a lot of overdone syllable-dragging and diva hand-gesticulations.

Jamie Lynn Spears’ fansite reveals that big-sis Britney has invited Jamie Lynn to live with her. So sweet! And baby Maddie can come, too! Um, hell no!
Jamie Lynn has reportedly moved out of her Mississippi abode — tainted with fiané Casey Aldridge’s dirty, dirty adulterous paws.
If Jamie Lynn moved in with Brit, she’d become subject to Starbucks runs, lowly paparazzi, fielding questions like, “How does my weave look?” and her own undeserved conservatorship with her father.
If she’s smart (let’s judge her post-teen pregs), she’ll get her own digs. Like, a comely condo in the Valley.

The trailer for Keira Knightley’s upcoming film, The Duchess, gives allusion to Princess Diana. That Keira herself (well, her character) is like Di.
Keira plays Georgiana Spencer, an aristocrat that led a bit of an adulterous life; the trailer ties in a clip of Princess Di with Keira as Georgiana with accompanying text: “The two were related by ancestry and united by destiny,” plus, a voiceover: “History repeats itself.”
Keira is reportedly livid over the comparison: “I am Georgiana. I am not Diana. The film is not about Diana,” she told The Telegraph. Georgiana was Di’s great-great-great-great aunt.
While I admit that the marketing campaign is a little low, Keira should curb the temper a bit, because, heck, we know she’s not Di.

Bloated. Tubby. Portly. Thick. The Daily Mail prefers “paunchy” to describe Tom Cruise.
From my shallow side, I found Tom to be at his heftiness this time last year; here, he was promoting Lion for Lambs. Note the double chin:
But a man his height put his horizontal-growing matters into the hands of David Beckham. Who better to handle love-handles, right?
“While Katie and Victoria have been swapping fashion tips on the phone, David has been advising Tom on diet.”
While this report claims a loss of 10 pounds in six weeks for Suri’s father, I do think this report is some 14 months tardy.

Ben Affleck, meeting two brunettes for a fancy-pants lunch at fancy-pants Shutters in Santa Monica. While it looked like a Jen-approved biz meeting, he boasted his addictive Affleck grin beneath a bushy beard, charming the women with his large … vocabulary. They shared oysters.
Jack Nicholson, rifling through paperbacks, magazines and crowds at the Barnes & Noble at the Grove. Not sure if B&N was his first visit or if it was Victoria’s Secret next door (the clientele at Vicky’s seems more in line with Jack’s preferred company), but regardless, Jack’s saunter, shades and suavity hardly went unnoticed.
Robert Duvall, flying Southwest Airlines from Santa Fe to Los Angeles. Clad in jeans and a blue sweater, he seemed casual enough — looks and personality-wise — but his wife was “a total pain in the ass” according to this Good Eye spy, who overheard the Missus saying, “They should have let us on the plane first.” It’s Southwest! They’re practically Socialists!
