Happy Monday my loyal readers, and away I go. I hope everyone had a joyous weekend and away I go.

Well Friday might be one of the most important days in my life. Or well at least this year. Britney Spears is doing a tell all interview with OK! Magazine which hit newsstands next week. Oh wow, I will have to go to Wal-Mart early on Saturday morning to pick up the issue of OK!.

Well who could not see this one coming. The Harry Potter book sold more than eight million copies on it’s first day of release to set a new all time record. To put it in some perspective, the average NY Times best seller sells around 125,000 to 150,00 copies. BTW, Harry does not die.

The Emmy nominations came down on Thursday, and the usual suspects were nominated Grey’s Anatomy, Boston Legal, Heroes, House, and The Sopranos. The Sopranos got 15 nominations overall, Greys Anatomy picked up 10. 24 was not nominated for best drama this year. My vote is for 24 over The Sopranos. Long Live Jack Bauer.

There were two rapper arrests over the weekend in NYC. First off Lil Wayne got arrested for smoking pot aboard his tour bus. When the cops boarded the bus, to do a routine search, they also found a .40 caliber pistol.

The next rapper? Well that would be late 90’s remix artist Ja Rule. A vehicle with Ja Rule inside of it was pulled over cruising down the west side highway. When Ja was pulled over for speeding, they subsequently found a .40-caliber pistol. I wonder if .40 pistol was riding SHOTGUN. Get it. Oh come on now. That’s funny.

Drew Carey is replacing Bob Barker as host of The Price Is Right – the longest-running game show on network television. TMZ.com reported that the actor/comedian told David Letterman that he’s taking over the show, over a month after the 83-year-old Barker retired from his 35 year run as host. Barker’s final hour on The Price Is Right aired on June 15 on CBS in its usual daytime slot. No word on when Carey hosts his first episode. Well Drew is no Slater or Rosie, who were both also in the running, but it should work. I can see him doing that.

Tammy Faye Bakker Messner, a former televangelist who helped lead a huge television ministry before its collapse in a sex and corruption scandal, has died, her Web site reported on Saturday. Messner died on Friday at age 65 after a long battle with cancer. CNN’s Larry King, who interviewed Messner on his “Larry King Live” talk show on Thursday night, said her family had asked him to make the delayed announcement of her death. I loved her on The Surreal Life, and the bond she made with porn star Ron Jeremy.

Former NYPD Blue star Esai Morales is being sued by an ex-girlfriend for allegedly assaulting and giving her herpes. In court papers filed by Elizabeth Mazzocchi – who used to live with Morales – in Los Angeles Superior Court, the 44-year-old actor stands accused of assault, battery, intentional and negligent transmission of a sexually transmitted disease, and breach of oral contract. It is like my friend always said. Herpes is the gift that keeps on giving, and giving, and burning.

And finally. It appears that there is a new cover girl in the pages of Playboy. Everyone’s favorite sexpot with a killer wagon (my new favorite word for butt), Kim Kardashian will be posing nude for Playboy. I would pay big bucks or at lease the 5.99 cover price to see Km Kardashian;s butt.

Happy Wednesday kiddies and away I go.

One of Oprah’s dogs died this week after choking on a toy plastic ball. Well apparently having all the money in the world can not bring back her dog Gracie. Well I guess money does not buy you everything.

A loss in court this week for Sting and his wife Trudie. The personal chef they fired, once they realized she was pregnant, went to court and won. The judge ordered Sting and Trudie yesterday to pay the chef $51,000 bucks. They have already filed an appeal. Maybe the two of them were having hours of tantric sex to realize she was Preggers.

Gwen Stefani is going after women’s clothing store Forever 21. She filed a lawsuit saying they have been stealing designs from her LAMB clothing line. Wow, Gwen is totally possessive. Kidding. The styles are identical.

Paris Hilton is working on a second CD. She says she wrote some of the songs while she was in jail. Oh dear God, please say that it isn’t true. I have a sneaking suspicion that one of the songs will be called “It sucked when I dropped the soap!!!”

Reports this morning say David Beckham kicked the Spice Girls, who were staying there to get ready for the reunion tour, out of the mansion. Damn it Becks, you respect The Spice Girls. They are fantastic. How dare you kick them out of your house.

2 more stories to report.

Former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland collapsed during a show in Nigeria yesterday. They are giving the usual excuse for the collapse of exhaustion. I think something different. Maybe jealousy of Beyoncé. But that is just my guess.

And finally, maybe the biggest story of the day. A representative for Ashlee Simpson has quashed rumors she is engaged to Fall Out Boy star Pete Wentz. The pair began dating earlier this year, with gossip websites in the U.S. alleging Wentz had proposed to the singer before his band’s performance at the Live Earth event earlier this month.  Sources have claimed the engagement was kept a secret because of the failure of sister Jessica’s marriage to Nick Lachey, which ended in divorce in 2006. But a spokesperson for Simpson tells UsMagazine.com Wentz and Simpson’s engagement rumors are “absolutely not true”.
