How do you celebrate a family who for 20 years has let you into their home and shared their lives with you through all its ups and downs? You give them their own series of postage stamps, of course. Last April it was announced that of the 50,000 stamp suggestions the U.S. Postal Service received from the public, the Simpsons were chosen to be the subject of a new stamp series. James L.

I remember beach clean-ups when I was a kid. We would walk along the shore picking up paper cups and soda cans, a shoe here and there, and maybe even a car tire or two. And we were given very clear instructions not to touch any needles. But we were never told what to do if we came upon pounds and pounds of cocaine. KFDM News is Texas reports that more than 50 pounds of cocaine – worth almost a half million dollars – washed up on shore several miles west of McFaddin Beach on the upper Texas coast. According to Major Jimmy Singletary with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s... 

So what happens when a TV show that is narrated by one of its characters (Mr. Belvedere, The Wonder Years, How I Met Your Mother, Grey’s Anatomy, etc.) loses that character? What happens to the show? Does another character take over the narration? Tonight is the 8th-season finale of the very funny Scrubs, and the main character – who is the narrator – is leaving. So now what? Dr. John Dorian (played by Zac Braff) is leaving Sacred Heart (and the show) tonight. Does that mean the show is over? I’m serious. Tonight’s Episode: Scrubs wraps up its eighth season tonight... 

Don’t know if you caught Dennis Rodman on the Celebrity Apprentice earlier this season, but dude’s got problems. And a lot of them like to come to the surface when there’s booze involved; vodka and cranberry, if you’ve got it. Dennis was ultimately fired by Donald Trump because of his behavior, and without really saying it, Donald made it clear that the former NBA star needed to get help. Apparently Dennis Rodman’s friends agreed and urged him to get help at an inpatient rehab facility. Dennis agreed to seek treatment, but on his own terms – because Dennis Rodman...

I don’t know where that came from… no police report.” When... 

Wanna hear a secret? And by secret I mean something we’ve all known for years and years. Ready? Paula Abdul was addicted to painkillers. Why, after all this time is she finally admitting to her drug use? Just two weeks ago she was swearing up and down to Cynthia McFadden on Nightline that she’s not an addict and has never had a problem. “No, no, no, no, no. Will not take those drugs [she said referring to prescription pain medications] And you can check my medical records there is nothing like that. I was never on Oxycontin or Vicadin or anything like that. I was on... 

Another Hollywood legend has answered the big casting call in the sky.

Most reports are saying the illness Dom DeLuise was battling is undisclosed, but his Wikipedia page says he had been “suffering from kidney failure and respiratory problems following a long battle with cancer.” When I think of Dom DeLuise I think of a big happy guy with an infectious laugh. He was also a very talented man. DeLuise generally appeared in comedic parts,... 

This post is dedicated to my mom, who in her most loving way possible, told me she doesn’t really care about my chosen life of Hollywood gossip. It’s really the vapid part of it all she doesn’t care for, she was quick to add; when celebrities do good things for the world, then she cares. Did I mention my mother has been in the Social Work field for longer than I’ve been alive? Yeah, so she’s all about the little man and giving back to society. Last Saturday was the Wonderwall.com Rally for Kids with Cancer live auction, and Kiss frontman Gene Simmons brought his big...
