Former school denounces Michelle Williams
Pst, no one tell them about Dawson’s Creek.
Brokeback Mountain actress Michelle Williams has received some harsh criticism for her role as the wife of a homosexual cowboy. The critic is none other than the headmaster of her former school, Sante Fe Christian School in San Diego, California, Jim Hopson.
Hopson declares Williams is "offensive" for acting in the controversial Oscar nominated film and branded her as a poor role-model. He tells the San Diego Union Tribune, "We don't want to have anything to do with her in relation to that movie. Michelle doesn't represent the values of this institution. Brokeback Mountain basically promotes a lifestyle we don't promote." Clearly, that lifestyle includes tolerance and acceptance.
Besides this backlash Williams has received, she has also been showered with praises most notably, an Oscar nom. Should Williams win the coveted award, it’s a safe bet she won’t give any shout outs to the good folks at Sante Fe Christian School.

Entertainment Quickies
I see a red door and I want to paint it bleepVeteran rockers The Rolling Stones were enraged by the censorship of their sexually suggestive lyrics during Superbowl XL this past weekend branding it as "absolutely ridiculous and completely unnecessary". The NFL has gone on record, claiming the band agreed to the censorship beforehand as a precautionary measure to avoid any backlash from family audiences; reminiscent of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction two years prior.
Editors turned down the microphone for risqué lines in Start Me Up and Rough Justice from The Stones' new album A Bigger Bang which in itself sounds risqué. Okay, here's what confuses me: Were these songs not already agreed upon before the show? And hasn't Start Me Up been around for years? If they wanted a risk free performance, they should've signed on Raffi.
Baby, you can drive my car...
Just when Britney Spears was proving to be the more competent parent, she was photographed with her baby Sean Preston sitting perilously in her lap while driving through Malibu. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) are going to investigate Spears who claims she took off without strapping her child in the backseat because she was suddenly hounded by paparazzi. However, the DCFS and California police might not take sympathy on the young mother/pop diva. Under California law, it's illegal to have a child as young as Sean Preston not restrained in a baby seat. Britney can expect a $270 fine at the very least.
My question is why wasn't husband Kevin Federline in the backseat? You know, behind a cage with child-protected locks trying to bum a smoke off the officer. But hey, that's neither here nor there.

Crow and Armstrong split
Apparently he wasn't Armstrong enough to be her man…wow; that was badSeven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and multi-Grammy winner Sheryl Crow have called it quits after a 6-month engagement and a two-year courtship. The pair announced in a joint statement Friday night: "After much thought and consideration we have made a very tough decision to split up. We both have a deep love and respect for each other and we ask that everyone respect our privacy during this very difficult time,"
This would have been her first married and his second with three children from his previous marriage.
Crow, 43, however, managed to bounce back from this split to model at a charity fashion show this past weekend. Hopefully the 34-year-old Armstrong can find the strength to overcome this breakup. After all, he recovered from testicular cancer to become the dominant athlete in one of the world's most grueling sporting events – what’s a little "she's just not that into you"?

Look who's hooking up in Tinseltown
That is just his lightsabre, but he's still happy to see herSo Sienna Miller is giving Penelope Cruz a run for her peso on who can shack up with a co-star the fastest. Miller, still on the rebound and recouping from the fiasco known as Jude Law, has been romantically involved with her Layer Cake co-star Daniel Craig and of course, Law, whom she met on the set of Alfie. Now Canadian actor Hayden Christensen, whom she worked with in the upcoming film Factory Girl, is the object of her affection. Until her next film, that is.
The couple has been spotted canoodling, flirting and (gulp) karaoking at the cast party for Factory Girl. And most recently, they were caught shopping at the mall on a Sunday afternoon – awww, he must really like her like her!
Note: there is only ONE Star Wars reference! Be proud of me!
Life after Jessica for Lachey
Could it be Nick Lachey has found a new main squeeze after his high-profile divorce to pop diva Jessica Simpson? In Touch reports Lachey's been keeping close company with one-time Miss Kentucky USA and would-be actress, Elizabeth Arnold. The pair has been seen "making out" at various L.A. hot spots (note to self: go to L.A.)
Lachey's reps refuse to comment on Nick's busy hands with Arnold but it's safe to say when people see them they will ask, "who's that girl with Nick?" in stead of "There's Jessica and that 98 Degrees guy."
Desperate Booty Calls?
Okay, this one may be a stretch but rumour has it Hollywood's most eligible bachelor George Clooney may be sweeping a Desperate Housewife off her feet. Clooney and Teri Hatcher, who conveniently live on the same street in Studio City (note to self: go to Studio City), have created buzz around Tinseltown that they are dating.
Both, of course have dismissed these rumours, though when asked about it by Extra, Clooney says "Yes, I heard that," before adding, "She's fantastic. She's a friend. I've known her for 15 years."
Translation: "It was bound to happen."

The Year in Review - in Entertainment
2005: We hardly knew you
This past year brought the best and worst out of Hollywood – from heroine chic being the new ‘in’ look to babies being the latest accessories. And we can’t forget the “are they/aren’t they?” or the “do you like me like me?” discussions no doubt you’ve shared around the office by the water fountain – oh was it just me then?
So to kick off the New Year, we take a look back at 2005 and all its glory. Afterall, you don’t know where you’re going unless you know where you’ve been.
Hook ups that shook up
Honestly, some relationships end before we even knew they started. And apparently country singers seem to know how to push some of Hollywood’s starlets’ buttons (I’m looking at you, Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger). But no one takes the cake more than that couple we’ve grown to loathe.
So the recipients of the “We So Crazy” award goes to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. With a 16 years difference, they’ve managed to create quite the media stir with their public displays of affection, his talk show couch orgasms, their sudden engagement after 2 months of courtship followed by a pregnancy announcement and her conversion to Scientology that had her Catholic parents in a rage. I’d wish them the best if he wasn’t Mr. Crazy Crazerson and she wasn’t Katie Holmes.
Break ups that shake up
The year began with the break up of Hollwood’s cutest and “oh, I hope they pull though” couple – Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. There was even hope of a rekindling of their romance but that fell through with the buzz of an affair with the sultry Angelina Jolie (Brad had the affair… not Jen). And MTV’s Newly Weds Nick and Jessica finally split after almost a year’s worth of speculating. Others to split were Renee Zellweger from country singer Kenny Chesney after 4 months of wedded bliss citing the reason as “Fraud”, Paris Hilton’s engagement to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis ended (ya, we’re all broken up about that), as well as her Simple Life co-star Nicole Ritchie from her DJ fiance.
But the winner for the “…And Nanny Makes Three” award is none other than Jude Law and Sienna Miller. His affair with his children’s nanny, Daisy Wright went public when the nanny released her detailed and a bit graphic sexual account with the Alfie star. Law’s open apology met a dead end with Miller but the rumour mill kept on spinning about a possible reunion between the two until Law later discovered she had an affair with his friend and fellow actor, Daniel Craig, before he had his with the nanny. Oh snap!
Say ‘I do’ then make me a sandwich
Some engagements actually did follow through like Donald Trump to Slovenia model Melania Knauss and Christina Aguilera to record producer Jordan Bratman. Hopefully married life will clean up her dirrty reputation. And nothing says “I do” more than being knocked up by Daredevil. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck secret wedding took place shortly after speculation of her being pregnant arose. Wedding dress purchased from a maternity store confirmed the rumours.
However the “Don’t Call Me Mother Unless I Tell You To” award goes to Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher who despite their 15-year age difference seem to be stronger than most couples out there. But that also means he was 12-years-old when Ghost came out. He must really hate Patrick Swayze… oh, that had nothing to do with the movie Ghost.
Baby booms and bangs
What better way to make a statement without saying a word than by having your very own baby! Pop singer Britney decided shortly after marrying Kevin Federline that she wanted to start a family. Her first step was marrying a freeloading bum then being impregnated by it. Affleck and Garner also had a baby girl this year, a first for both of them. And of course Katie Holmes is expecting a child and has agreed to a silent birth as Scientology practice dictates (I’m tempted to give this child a “I’m Screwed From The Start” award).
But alas, the “I’m The Greatest Human Being Ever – Oh, And I’m Hot” award goes to Angelina Jolie who adopted Zahara, an orphan from Africa whose mother passed away from AIDS. This is the second child Jolie has adopted from a third world country (the first being Maddox, whom she adopted while married to Billy Bob Thornton). I want to hate this woman but can’t. She’s a UN ambassador who rescues orphaned children. She has lips, breasts and an ass that would make anybody give up everything just to walk within her vicinity (Brad Pitt, I’m looking in your general direction).
The Rumour Mill spins
Everybody loves a little gossip. It’s even better when it’s not about you. Some one who took a lot of hits this year was Lindsay Lohan with her reported make-up session with Bruce Willis, plus reports of her father and his threats to his family. She was also in the middle of alleged eating disorder claims. She wasn’t the only one people suspected of anorexia – Nicole Ritchie, Keira Knightly, Mischa Barton and Mary-Kate Olsen who went into rehab for her anorexia. Other gossip that stirred up the year was who’s dating who – so high school. Jessica Simpson and her closeness to Dukes of Hazzard co-star Johnny Knoxville may have led to the inevitable spit between her and her husband, Nick Lachey. Sienna Miller’s alleged tryst with Daniel Craig also put the final stamp on her relationship with Jude Law.
The “Who Are We Kidding?” award is a tie between Brangelina and Brad’s former better half Jennifer Aniston and her The Break Up co-star Vince Vaughn. Brad Pitt and Angelina’s charity visits to foreign countries, them purchasing homes near each other for those convenient booty calls and the photos taken of them on a beach with her children all family-like all point to them being the new “It” couple. Though both deny the relationship being anything more than just friends, these actions scream “Oh Come On!” of epic proportions. And like ex-husband, like ex-wife, Aniston’s “friendship” to bachelor Vince Vaughn seems to be a bit more as photos of the pair kissing and canoodling were released. Fess up kids, it’s lust.
Wacky Stunts
We will never forget Mariah Carey and her posing with a cripple homeless man, or her own minor wardrobe malfunction on stage, or that time she had a six-pack drawn on her abs (maybe she should’ve gotten the “Who Are We Kidding?” award). Not to mention Russell Crowe’s temper tantrum when he threw a telephone at a hotel concierge for not connecting his call. How about Tara Reid’s, Paris Hilton’s and Jessica Simpson’s Girls Gone Drunk photos at various clubs in Hollywood? And of course The King of Wacky – Wacko Jacko. Michael Jackson’s child molestation trial turned circus with celeb appearances and him showing up late in pajamas.
But the final award of “You Had Me at Crazy” goes to Mr. Tom Cruise. In an interview with Matt Lauer, Cruise states no body knows about psychology like he does sparking a feud with actress Brooke Shield over the use of the anti-depressant drug Paxil. His public raves over his love for Katie Holmes (whom he has convinced, should be called Kate from now on) has everyone thinking “enough already”. The public affection and the cold sores on her face clearly say ‘love’. He has gone on record saying she is the most wonderful woman he’s ever met. I mean, even calling Kate Holmes a ‘woman’ is enough to have anybody locked up. Did I mention he loves her?
And finally In memory of…
Seems too many to name, but here is a short list of celebs that passed this year but changed the face of entertainment. They will be missed.

Ann Bancroft, 73
Bob Denver, 70

Tribute to Thunder Bay
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest.
We arrived in December and London was cold
We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road
We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a week
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....
Euston Station the train journey North
In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields
We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....
By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets
A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet
She'd tease us and flirt, as the pubs all closed down
Then walk us on home and deny us a round
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my deathI'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....
The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room
I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
And don't lift up my head 'till the the twelve bells at noon
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest

A bit 'nippy' in the O.C.
If you missed the much-talked about 'nipple slip' on last week's episode of The O.C., fear not, surely there are numerous viral videos on the web just waiting to have you boys getting that streak-free Windex for your LCD monitors ready. Though it is terrible quality (much like Mischa Barton's talent), one's imagination can provide minutes of fulfilled fantasy – I'll be over here throwing up.Barton's character Marisa exposed more than her eternal struggle to say lines as she was getting out of bed and one of her nipples made an accidental appearance. A number of viewers have allegedly complained to the FCC though FOX has denied that any such complaints have been made. My question is who in the editing room let that one slip by? Seems like FOX opted to replace a highly entertaining and good quality show like Arrested Development, with a quick shot of a nipple. What's next? Give House the boot so Ryan can give us a preview of a new game, "Just the tip, see how you like it"?

Who's lovin' it now?
Kid sister Simpson yet again makes an ass of herselfAshlee Simpson was spotted not so much lip-synching but lip-slurring in a McDonald's in Toronto where she was promoting her latest album. eTalkDaily reports Lushy McLush was spotted dining at a fancy restaurant then made her way to a bar to get schlooshed. And like every night of drinking, this one ended up in a McDonald's.
A customer in the restaurant caught the pop singer on video as she mouthed off to the employees, climbed onto the counter as well as refused to have her picture taken with a fan unless he kiss her feet.
Simpson: "Thing are going wrong up here!"
I'll say – YOU HAVE A CAREER!
Toronto resident, Brandon M., was fortunate enough to witness this train wreck. We sit down with Brandon. Here's an exclusive scoop!
What did she smell like? Because I'm picturing the stale aroma of lost souls, no talent and hot tasty French fries.
One word...Alcohol.
Give us your first-hand account of this evening?
Ms. Simpson, clearly intoxicated, went to visit the world-class eatery of McDonald's after a presumably heavy night of drinking or the like. My good friend, went to take a picture with Ashlee, at which time she requested that he kiss her feet, to which he refused. After that, Ashlee's mood went south since she didn't understand why in the world anyone wouldn't want to kiss her feet. To make bad even worse was the incident with the snobby McDonald's worker whom in my opinion drastically over-reacted. Ashlee was acting stupid... but that's because she was DRUNK!
What was the reaction of the employees after Simpson left?
Most of them were relieved, presumably to go back to their hectic job serving hamburgers.
Have you ever done anything stupid in a McDonald's or any other fast food franchise (besides go in)?
The other mistake I've made at McDonald's besides going in...is eating there? Oddly enough, the last time I ate McDonald’s was after a heavy-drinking night too. Maybe I should get a recording contract?
**Let me just say, working at McDonald's is more than just flipping and serving burgers. Brandon's a good kid but....JACKASS!

Was going somewhere with this...
Here's article I meant to post on Star! but I never could formulate a whole article from my temporary rant. Or could it be I just stopped caring.
---------------------------------------
Okay, I’ll level with you – I don’t like being lied to. So when Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston go on record saying nothing is going on between them, I’m sincerely hurt when I see photos of them making out behind a bush. And not just because he promised to call me after our one-night, but because they made us media folk look foolish. Did I say “media folk”? I meant gossip mongers.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Law puts an end to Miller's timeSo after all that groveling and ass-kissing and trying to work it out after Jude Law admitted to sleeping with his children's nanny, looks like Sienna Miller got her perfect revenge on her ex-fiancé by sleeping with his long time friend long before he cheated on her! It was revealed earlier this week according to People that Law gave Sienna the proverbial boot when he discovered she cheated on him first – two years ago on the set of Layer Cake with her co-star and would be James Bond Daniel Craig. This happened around the same time Law left his then-wife Sadie Frost and started dating Miller.
This revelation infuriated Law who has branded the actress as a "hypocrite and a conniving bitch."
And it wasn't a one-time-oh-so-drunk-where-did-those-midgets-come-from-let's-never-speak-of-this-again type affair, Miller and Craig allegedly continued to see each other during Jude Law's public apology as well as Sienna milking the publicity. Don't get me wrong, I still feel for her. After all, how would you feel if your too-too sexy fiancé played house with the nanny? And by 'house' I mean violating her body this way from Sunday.
Speculation did arise that Law and Miller were getting back together when she didn't move out of his home. According to imdb.com, Sienna stayed there out of convenience since her play was in the West End and that she broke up with him back in July though stayed close friends. Ugh, this OC episode is giving me a headache.
So let's get this straight: Mootchy McHootch cheated on sexy Jude Law first, made him grovel publicly while turning this drama into a marketing tool all the while crashing at his place? Niiiice.

Nick and Jessica sully our hopes and dreams
America’s sweethearts become an American statistic
You mean to tell me televising your marriage and constantly partying and getting trashed ISN’T the way to fortify a marriage? Being America’s eye candy just got worse as Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson finally filed for divorce according to Us Weekly.
Rumours of this inevitable split have been skimming the front page of tabloids and college boys’ wet dreams for some time. Back in May, E! Online reported the papers were signed but retracted that statement faster than the other members of 98 Degrees can say, “Wanna get back together?”
Reasons for the split (get ready to put on your sarcastic shocked face here) include the ever-controlling Daddy Joe Simpson and the diva formerly known as Jessica Simpson. Nick also couldn’t abide her other husband, Jack Daniels who, like their marriage, was also on the rocks.
Seems like another guy has lost his woman to the young, glamorous life of partying. If Jessica gets lonely, Paris will be there to comfort her, and I’m pretty sure Tara Reid is there too lying face down in a pool of her own vomit – don’t worry, she’s an excellent listener.
Apparently an official statement will be released later this month to milk the last bit of this doomed relationship. As well, I’m sure, loyal viewers of MTV’s Newlyweds are waiting to hear what will become of that lonely half-hour. Until then, party on Jessica. Party on Paris. Mhgphhhm Tara.

You know how I know you're gay...?
Cuz you listen to Coldplay...
Which would possibly explain a lot. I'm not one to judge except times when I'm judging, but why else would he marry someone with the body of a 17-year old boy? Or agree to name a child Apple as in Adam's...
And his hair's short, and he's mildly attractive. If that does sound gay, I don't know what does.
