Happy New Years Eve Bitches and Happy Wednesday, and away I go.

Dane Cook’s half-brother has been arrested and charged with stealing millions of dollars while acting as the comic actor’s personal business manager. The Boston Globe said Darryl McCauley has been charged with larceny, forgery and larceny by continuous scheme, following his arrest at his Wilmington, Mass., home Tuesday. The arrest reportedly stemmed from a complaint Cook and his lawyer filed with Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office and the office’s subsequent investigation into the matter. Well not to sound Cattie or anything, but it serves him right. From what I heard, he is a total joke stealer.

The Jonas Brothers have prompted officials at the New York Police Department to bolster security before the trio takes over Times Square on New Year’s Eve, fearing the band will draw a “mob scene.” The singers will perform in the city as part of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve TV spectacular, and New York’s finest, who have heroically defended the city during terrorist attacks, riots and blackouts, are concerned about the screaming fans who will brave the big freeze to see the boys’ show. A source says, “They’re now planning on using extra men for support. It’s going to be crazy.” Well if I was not going to a house party, I will totally go in to the city tonight to get me some Nick Jonas.

Actor Matt Dillon has been arrested by U.S. authorities after he was caught speeding down the highway, according to reports. The Crash star was pulled over by state troopers when he was allegedly recorded traveling at a speed of 106 miles per hour on Interstate 91 in Newbury, Vermont on Tuesday night. Dillon, 44, is due in court in January to face a charge of excessive speed, according to Vermont news network WCAX-TV. Wow, when are celebrities going to learn, that they are not above the law?

Charles Barkley has been arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving. Gilbert police Lt. Eric Shuhandler says an officer with a task force that targets drunken drivers saw the former NBA star run a stop sign around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning in Scottsdale.  Shuhandler says Barkley declined to submit to a breath test but was given a blood test. The results have not come in. After Barkley was processed, he was cited and released. Shuhandler says Barkley left the scene in a cab. Barkley played 16 NBA seasons for the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, and played on the USA Olympic “Dream Team” in 1992 and 1996. He was an 11-time NBA All-Star and league MVP in 1993. Ha, there is number 2, for stupid celebrities who think they are hot stuff.

Jessica Simpson is nursing her football star boyfriend Tony Romo back to health after he collapsed following an intense match at the weekend. The Dallas Cowboy quarterback fell in the shower following a defeat by the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, reports ESPN.com. Team sources tell the Web site medical staff brought a stretcher to the scene, but Romo walked on his own and had to be helped to the podium for a news conference shortly after the game – where he refused to answer questions about his health.  Reports suggest Romo may have suffered a rib injury in the second half of the game – the Cowboys’ biggest loss ever at 44-6. Wow, she really is a Yoko Romo.

The MTV reality TV show 50 Cent: The Money and the Power has been scrapped by MTV after a string of poor ratings. The show followed the rapper’s attempts to discover the next hip-hop mogul among 14 wannabes, with the winner receiving a $100,000 investment from 50 Cent to start their own business venture. But since its debut on November 6 the program has failed to attract viewers and the network has now decided to scrap the flailing show after little more than a month on air, according to the New York Post. Well he aint no Donald Trump or The Appetence.

Britney Spears has dominated headlines this year – and now she has been named the celebrity with the most column inches. The “Womanizer” hitmaker has turned her life around after a series of breakdowns and has won the support of the public – and the press – for her comeback. The singer was the most written about celebrity for 11 weeks of the past year for events including the release of her new album, Circus, and her appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards, according to USA Today’s Celebrity Heat Index. In second, third and fourth places respectively are Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. They have all dominated the headlines in a year that saw Jolie give birth to twins and Aniston reveal her feelings towards Pitt’s relationship with the Tomb Raider actress. Well the come back is full effect.

And finally, Child star Jaimee Foxworth, whose addictions landed her a spot on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, is five months pregnant by her longtime boyfriend, her reps tell PEOPLE. “I haven’t been this happy in years,” says Foxworth, 29. “I am excited about what the future holds for us.” She plans on releasing an autobiography in mid-2009 and is working on a hip-hop album and a reality show, but is better known for a troubled life. After being unceremoniously written off as the youngest child on the sitcom Family Matters, she lost all the money she made on the show, then turned to adult films and acquired a marijuana addiction. “Being sober has opened my eyes to a whole new world,” she says. “I’ve been through a lot of pain in the past and I never really wanted a child until recently. I now look forward to years of joy to share with my child.” OH I want her to go back and do more porn. I do love me some porn stars.

Happy Monday Kiddies and away I go. Do I really owe an explanation? It was the holidays. So now that we have that out of the way.

Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, gave birth on Sunday to a healthy 7 lb., 4 oz., baby boy in Palmer, Alaska.   “We think it’s wonderful,” said Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol’s grandmother Sally Heath, who confirmed the news. “The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited.” The baby’s name is Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, according to Jones. Well I might be one of the first legit media outlets to report this. Well after yahoo.com.

A further update on a story I reported a couple of weeks ago. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony plan to announce their impending divorce in February, a source told the New York Daily News. The couple have been married for four years and are the parents of 10-month-old twins. “Marc and Jennifer are planning on announcing their divorce right after Marc’s show at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 14,” a friend of the couple told the Daily News. “Jennifer is planning on joining Marc on stage for a surprise duet. Things haven’t been right for a while now, and they thought it would be a bittersweet farewell. … They’re definitely planning a clean break in February.” However, Anthony’s publicist said “none of the rumors are true.” A representative for Lopez didn’t respond to the newspaper’s request for a comment on its report. Well look at me with my finger on the button. I am the man if I do say so myself.

As one celebrity couple end their marriage, it appears another one is about to start…Well depending on who you talk to. Tom Brady’s father denies the New England Patriots quarterback got engaged to Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen during the Christmas holiday. TMZ reported the celebrity couple’s alleged engagement last week and E! News subsequently said it had confirmed that Brady proposed to Bundchen and she accepted.  However, Tom Brady Sr. told The Boston Globe the reports are “rumor, rumor, rumor.”   “We don’t know a thing about it,” Brady’s father added. “Nobody told me. We talked to him and there’s nothing to say.” Bundchen’s twin sister, Patricia, also told People magazine via e-mail that the story is “not true.” The magazine said the model’s publicist declined to comment on the report. I think the most important part of the story is that Gisele has a twin. I wonder if she is just as bangable.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has hinted she may quit acting after she takes time out to attend university. Watson previously announced her desire to continue her education and has even applied to a number of colleges, both in the U.K. and the U.S., to start her studies next year. And now the 18-year-old has admitted she is “uncertain” she will return to the big screen after her break. She says, “It’s weird, because I’ve always felt uncertain that acting is what I wanted to do. Just because this has happened to me doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right thing.” Come on now, what have I said one million times. Dance with the one that brought you. You put the whore in Whore-meianie.

Miley Cyrus has signed on to star in a prime time New Year’s Eve special, MTV has announced. “FNMTV Presents: A Miley-Sized Surprise … New Year’s Eve 2009″ will see Cyrus taking over a fan’s home for the televised event, featuring performances by Metro Station, All Time Low, The Academy Is…, Kevin Rudolf and Cyrus herself, the network said. The special is to air live Dec. 31 from 8-9:30pm ET, with an encore presentation at 10:30pm ET to include a live countdown to midnight from Times Square. “After Miley surprises the lucky fan by showing up on her doorstep, they’ll spend the day hanging out together, participating in activities for the fan’s favorite charity, and visiting with friends,” MTV said in a news release. “Miley will be showering her with gifts and treats throughout the festivities. Let’s just say it’ll be a giant ‘Miley-sized’ surprise like no other when the party begins, including performances by Miley from the winning fan’s bedroom, another featuring Metro Station and more!” Well color me there. I am so excited. I wonder if 33 year old men can enter.

Britney Spears has reportedly dismissed the two choreographers who helped launch her recent comeback appearances in favor of the man who directed Madonna’s recent world tour. The Circus Starring Britney Spears will now be directed by Jamie King, who directed and choreographed her Oops!… I Did It Again series of live dates in 2000 and the Material Girl’s Sticky & Sweet Tour. King replaces Wade Robson, who directed the star in her first major U.S. tour in 1999, and Andre Fuentes, who choreographed for Spears beginning with her 1998 L’Oreal Hair Zone Mall Tour. A source tells Life & Style: “Wade and Andre were only hired to choreograph the promotional tour for Circus, which ended in Japan last week.” Well that sounds kind of iffy if she is already changing things, before her tour even starts.

Zooey Deschanel is ready to walk down the aisle, PEOPLE has learned. The actress and singer, 28, and Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard, 32, who is also in the indie band the Postal Service, got engaged before the holidays, a source confirms. Deschanel, currently starring in Yes Man opposite Jim Carrey, also released her first album, Volume One, in March with her band She & Him. Her rep was not available for comment. What a great December it has been for her. A #1 movie and an engagement.

And finally, some sad news to report. An actor from HBO’s The Sopranos has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. John Costelloe, who played short-order cook Jim “Johnny Cakes” Witowski on the hit HBO series in 2006, was found dead in an apparent suicide on Dec. 18 at his Brooklyn, N.Y., home, Police spokesman Lt. John Grimpel confirms to the Associated Press. Costelloe’s character was the gay lover of mobster Vito Spotafore, portrayed by Joseph Gannascoli. Police discovered his body after being called to the actor’s residence when family members were unable to reach him. Wow, I totally remember his character. Big fan of his and the show.

Happy Monday Bitches and away I go.Might I just start off by apologizing. With the holiday this week, my second update day is up in the air.

British celebrity disc jockey Samantha Ronson is back home following a visit to a Los Angeles hospital during the weekend, People.com said. Ronson’s girlfriend, actress Lindsay Lohan, reportedly was with Ronson when she went to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Sunday. “Thanks for all your messages,” Ronson wrote on her MySpace blog later that day. “I’m home and all good. Was just pretty exhausted from traveling and working too much to buy Hanukkah gifts and my Jewish mother was worried about me. … I had good company and a Jerry’s Deli delivery of chicken soup and potato pancakes and am feeling much better. I am back to watching all my favorite Jerry Bruckheimer shows.” Maybe she was nauseous from watching Just My Luck?

Well this is interesting. Britney Spears’s publicist said a report claiming she is dating musician Benji Madden isn’t true. In Touch magazine reported the famous pair have been seeing each other since Spears’s father and manager set them up. Madden became available when he broke up with heiress and some-time actress Paris Hilton last month after nearly a year of dating, though he reportedly still has been spotted with her at parties recently. Spears is a divorced mother of two young boys. “The claims made by In Touch are completely false,” Spears’ spokeswoman told E! News about the claim Spears is in a romantic relationship with Madden. “There is not an ounce of truth to any of it.” How dare people start spreading those rumors. Britney would never take Paris’s sloppy seconds.

Speaking if Miss Hilton, she is “devastated” after a burglar robbed her California mansion – because the jewelry which was stolen is irreplaceable. The intruder is believed to have forced his way through the front door of the property in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, on Friday before ransacking the heiress’ bedroom and making off with an estimated $2 million worth of gems. And although Hilton is grateful she wasn’t in the house at the time, she is heartbroken by the loss. She tells Life & Style, “I am devastated. I cannot believe someone broke into my home. “They took items that had such sentimental value that no one will ever be able to replace. I’m just thankful that I wasn’t there when it happened.” OK 2 things Paris. How come I have a feeling that a new movie will be out soon, featuring you in a reverse anal cowgirl scene. And who keeps 2 million dollars worth of jewelry in their home. Um, it is called a Security Box. They are available for 50 bucks a month at your local bank. Just think about it.

BSB star Brian Littrell’s young son has been diagnosed with a rare form of heart disease.  The singer and his wife, Leighanne, rushed six-year-old Baylee to Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia on Monday after he showed symptoms common to strep throat and hand, foot and mouth disease. Doctors proceeded to conduct various biopsies and blood tests on the youngster before diagnosing him with A-Typical Kawasaki Disease.  Baylee was released from medical care on Saturday but he will continue to be monitored by specialists. In a post on his website, Littrell writes: “Kawasaki Disease causes inflammation in the coronary arteries as well as the walls of the small and medium sized arteries throughout the body. I sure as hope he still has health care insurance. Maybe he should join the next season of Dancing With The Stars.

Jim Carrey’s new comedy Yes Man has climbed its way to the top of the U.S. box office, taking in $18.2 million in its opening weekend. The film, co-starring actress Zooey Deschanel, follows Carrey’s character as he challenges himself to say “yes” to everything for an entire year. Will Smith and Rosario Dawson weighed in with $16 million to take the second spot for their new drama Seven Pounds, which also made its debut at the weekend. Debuting at number three is Matthew Broderick’s animated mouse movie The Tale of Desperaux, taking in $10.5 million. Slipping from the top spot to number four is Keanu Reeves’ sci-fi flick The Day the Earth Stood Still, which took in $10.2 million, which rounded out the top five just before Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn’s holiday comedy Four Christmases, taking in $7.7 million. Wow, Jim Carrey really did need a hit, and this is barely one. His last movie that I truly enjoyed was Bruce Almighty. And that was like 5 years ago.

Ok 2 more stories to report, than I am dunzo. Is a Heidi-Lauren reconciliation on the way on tonight’s season finale of The Hills? Though Heidi Montag wouldn’t completely reveal details about the hug the former best friends share in the preview for the show, she hinted at a peace summit during her interview Monday on the Ryan Seacrest Radio Program. “Lauren and I have both had a lot that’s happened in our lives and I think that we’re older now. For me personally, I’ve missed her — that was my best friend and it’s hard when that’s taken out of your life,” she said of her long-simmering feud with Conrad. “I think for both of us we kind of just want some kind of closure in one way or another. It was really, really good to see her. It was definitely one of my best moments of this season.” But wasn’t Heidi the one who started the whole sex tape scandal? I guess forgive and forget is LC’s new motto. Just remember her shady past ole beef flaps.

And finally, Bridget Marquardt may have lived in the Playboy Mansion with Kendra Wilkinson, but she hardly recognizes her former housemate – and The Girls Next Door castmate – anymore. And that’s not a bad thing. “She’s doing amazing, she’s so in love,” Marquardt, 35, said of Wilkinson, 23, who recently became engaged to NFL player Hank Baskett. “She’s changed so much. She’s not even the same person. I mean, she is the same, but she’s different. I love the old Kendra and I love the new Kendra.” What is the “new Kendra”? “She’s a lot more timely. She doesn’t flash anymore. She’s a lot more conservative. She’s so in love,” Marquardt tells The Associated Press.  Well what fun is that?
