I have received multiple e-mails asking me if I heard if J-lo and Marc Anthony are through. I must say that I have not heard.

Last night was a minor travesty on Dancing With The Stars. Billy Ray Cyrus didn’t go home. Nor did Norm. But it was Heather Mills who left last night. That just totally sucks. While she wasn’t the greatest dancer there, she was better than both Norm and that Achy Breaky guy.

There was considerable internet buzz this morning saying that Rosie O’Donnell may announce today that she plans to quit “The View” at the end of the season. Well this morning, it went down. Rosie announced that she is not going to come back to The View on a full time basis next year. Instead Miss. O’Donnell will be around for select episodes, and specials.

Myspace and reality show king Mark Burnett are teaming up for a new show. Burnett’s latest brainchild will attempt to find an undiscovered person to be the Independent candidate for President of the United States. The prize is $1 million and the winner will get the money as long as they use it to finance their real presidential campaign. Myspace and Mark Burnett in 08? Can you say Mango in 08 instead. I could totally win that race. I would run on the Britney LC ticket.

Former Spice Girl Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown has named her baby girl Angel Iris Murphy Brown after Eddie Murphy, the alleged father. Murphy and Brown were dating when she got pregnant, but Murphy has since broken up with her and has been dating Tracey Edmonds, the ex-wife of Babyface Edmonds. Oh Angel. Insert your own Fallen Angel joke here.

David Letterman will be the guest on “Live with Regis & Kelly” tomorrow, April 26th, Regis’ first day back following his triple bypass surgery. Letterman and Regis are close friends and both underwent the same procedure by the same surgeon. I just now hope that Star Jackson admits to having Gastric Bypass, and then I will be a happy camper.

Def Jam Records founder Russell Simmons is saying that he wants “extreme curse words” removed from the music business entirely, especially slurs that are racist and/or sexist in nature. Isn’t that what Rap music is all about? Bitches and Whores?

And finally,

Fall Out Boy bassist and Ashlee Simpson’s boyfriend, Pete Wentz is opening a new bar and nightclub in New York City. Angels and Kings is set to open as early as next week. Shouldn’t the place just be called, I am famous because my sister is hot?

A telephone voice message between Alec Baldwin and his 11-year-old daughter was made public on TMZ.com. In the message, Baldwin yells at his daughter, calling her, among other things, ” . . . a rude, thoughtless little pig”. Baldwin also insults her mother, ex-wife Kim Basinger, with whom this divorce and subsequent custody battle has been very public and very nasty. That is just classic. I love him on 30 Rock.

Brandy has now officially been replaced as a judge on “America’s Got Talent” by Sharon Osborne. The decision comes after Brandy was involved in a fatal car crash back in December. Thank God for the Queen of Rock.

Pop star Nick Lachey and girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo are getting very serious – they’ve just moved in together. Lachey, Jessica Simpson’s ex-husband, and the TV personality/actress are settling down in a two bedroom apartment in Manhattan’s new Atelier building. The couple was spotted moving into their new pad, which boasts a luxury swimming pool and spa complex and an indoor basketball court, last week. So how long before it is Mrs. Vanessa Lachey. What is up with Nick and girls with double S’s in their name.

Actors Forest Whitaker, Hugh Grant and Keira Knightley have signed up to be a part of a special charity edition of the hit TV talent show, American Idol. They will be joined by Daniel Radcliffe, Helena Bonham Carter and Desperate Housewives star Terri Hatcher on “American Idol Gives Back,” a one-off program to raise money for children in Africa and those whose lives were severely affected by 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. Some celebrities will take to the stage alongside pop singers such as Gwen Stefani and Pink, while others will use their popularity to encourage viewers to donate funds to the charities. Should be some good times, I got my Tivo all set up to record it.

Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake and David Beckham have topped a new list to find the sexiest stars. Timberlake was named Sexiest Male Musician; Alba Sexiest Actress, and Beckham the Sexiest Dad in the poll by Victoria’s Secret. Lingerie designers and Victoria’s Secret supermodel spokeswomen, including Heidi Klum and Karolina Kurkova, voted for the sexy stars, who also included Carrie Underwood (Sexiest Female Musician), Kate Hudson (Sexiest Mom) and Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles (Sexiest Couple). Is it bad that I would go do any of the ladies on the list?

And finally

According to AllHipHop.com, Akon engaged in a dance that “simulated aggressive sexual acts” with the 14-year-old. The girl’s father, Pastor Dave Alleyne of the Flaming Word Ministry of Chaguanas, branded the dance “atrocious.” Well that is just Fan-Flippin-Tastic.
