- Synth! Dance beat! Breathy vocals! It's Lindsay Lohan's new track, "Bossy." And guess what? It doesn't totally suck. "Stop touching me without permission," she sings. "I'm jut a little bossy. If I want it, I get it — Now." Ha! Like that fur coat? But is the song as good as Kelis's "Bossy"? Well, LL's track was written by Ne-Yo. Lemme know what you think. I may have to listen again. And Again. And then one more time, with rollerskates on. I'm so embarrassed. [People]
- Meanwhile: Lindsay's dad Michael is pissed that the Mingling Moms named ex-wife Dina a "Top Mom." He says: "Are you kidding?

She comes stumbling out of Butter at 3:15 a.m. with bloodshot eyes and a red runny nose, yelling 'Oh, [bleep],' when she saw the paparazzi." Meanwhile, Dina says: "He's on a mission to destroy me." Wow, this kind of stuff must be great for the kids to hear. [Page Six]

So for me to just say, 'Yeah, that's right, boycott China' ... you're talking out of both sides of your mouth." [CNN]

Does Nick Cannon live in a world of puppies, unicorns, and rainbows too? If so, then Mariah and Nick are a match made in marshmallow fluff kitten sunshine heaven.
A good bra or, you know, her breast implants.
He sings to her .... He laughs with her, plays with her. It's amazing.
Just last week Nicole was astonished by how motherhood put a cramp on her partying styles, right? Now she's absolutely enchanted with the fact that her babydaddy is...daddying?
oh, mimi, sweetie - no.
i kind of love jay & bee. weren't they the ones who were playing connect-4 on tour? they seem so sweet and normal(ish).
Michael Lohan: Pot, meet kettle.
Star Jones: I like how you defended yourself by first calling Barbara an old adulterer. Klassy.
We should start helping Mariah think of ways to cover that tattoo now. She could just make is "Mrs. CannonS" and claim it's about her boobs.
Speaking of boobs, when your rep says "probably", you know they're tired of lying for you.
Star Jones better watch her back. No one would miss her.
It's a bit premature for Nick to be claiming he will "always" be 12 years old, no? I mean, he's only been more than 12 for what, 8 years?
Hot damn, Dodai. That song sucks about nine different kinds of arse.
A tattoo, Mariah? If you're gonna do that, make sure it's the name or face of someone who will really be in your life forever, like Hello Kitty.
Star Jones can suck it. Babs true character, in the "sunset of her life," is pretty fucking awesome.
Shocked-shocked! that Heigl wants to leave the show that made her famous. David Caruso here I come!
Also, I kind of agree with Star Jones. And I like her dig about Babwa's "sunset of her life" Deliciously evil.
my hand is up for the craig fergueson book reading.
katherine heigl: sure, leave a successful TV show for years of bad movies and obscurity (a la David Caruso). maybe in a couple of years people will forget what a tool you are and offer you a second chance on CSI: The Moons of Jupiter.
Wil.I.Am has exposed me for the hypocrite that I am. Want to boycott the Olympics, but can not/do not resist the cheap goods at Wally World and Tar-jay.
So Joel's on sh*t duty--figures. Still it's sweet that he loves his wittle girl.
ha i played that song last night and my roommate could only hear the synths and was convinced i had taken up stripping.
definitely no kelis.
I never thought I would agree with Michael Lohan, but....dude's gotta point, giving Dina an award is just encouraging her to keep being a pushy stage mom/famewhore.
"in the sunset of her life?" Really, now THAT is nasty. I can't stand Star Jones.
I really wanted to like that track, but . . . not so much . . .
is crack more prevalent in the UK? because i NEVER hear about anyone in the US using it, except for like, whitney and bobby. i know it's out there, but i would have no idea where to get it. and i know a lot of drug dealers.
@BeteNoir: Oops, a bit late on that one.
Lindsay's Bossy has nothing on Kelis. Couldn't even listen to the whole thing.
@icurbritney: Kelis was the first girl to scream on the track.
and not to be cynical, but i give the mariah/nick cannon marriage six months on the outside.
@CMG: oops, i was so excited about the book reading that i added an extra letter. my apologies to mr. ferguson.
Michael have you ever heard the words pot, kettle and black?
Wonder what Mariah will change that tatoo to say when the divorce comes through...
Wil.I.Am STFU.
I have to spend time with my nasty grandmother who hates me this weekend. Everytime she makes a bitchy comment about me, I'll just say "Oh bless her heart, she's in the sunset of her life." Thanks Star Jones!
Oh Mimi. Getting tats proclaming your everlasting love for Mr. Cannon is probably not the wisest choice.
Jeebus, why can't someone admit that they did something decades ago without Star Jones piping up? Babs checked with the Senator before including it in her book and it was fine with him so who is Star to judge?
@SinisterRouge: If she's on the Caruso path, I will eagerly wait for "CSI: Duluth" to revive her career in ten years.
@DontFearTheReefer: It's cheaper to go on a crack binge than an alcohol binge in the UK.No I am not joking.
Heigl, I've got two words for you: David Caruso. Think about it.
I'd love to see a Barbara Walters vs. Star Jones cage match.
I'd put my money on the old lady any day to wipe up the floor with that bitch.
Oh, Lindsey! Lookin' like a trannie on 14th and Broad. (An insult to my sweet trannyies everywhere.)
Sorry, BAngieB.
Holy shit, Joel is acting like a father? Sweet jesus, that is news! Thanks, Hollywood!
@DontFearTheReefer: If you like, I can take you on a crack tour of D.C.
@JNOV: Oh, yeah! Broad is 14th St in Philly. Make that Broad and Locust. Unsuccess. Back to bed.
But- I always speak from both sides of my mouth. And the middle.
@SinisterRouge: Ha! Great minds.
"Now I'm in the winter of my life and I haven't anything to call my own."
--Pam Jones
Also, I NEED Eddie Izzard's baby in me.
So Hello Kitty Mimi married Dear Daniel Nick? Was Keroppi the best man? My Melody the maid of Honor?
I did NOT sanction this wedding. Wish Mimoo would leave me alone >:-(
@SinisterRouge: I know! Remember all those people who left ER for the same reason? Yeah, that only worked out for Clooney and that's because he's actually talented.
Heigel on the the other hand...
If Eddie is gonna get anyone pregnant, is me. I'll kill that Minnie Driver, first Taylor Hawkins and now Eddie? GET YO OWN MEN!
*this concludes the imaginary portion of the day*
@DontFearTheReefer: She does NOT do crack! You know why? Because crack is CHEAP - she makes too much money for that!

R. Kelly has some damn good lawyers. There's a tape of him sexing a minor AND a witness. He's guilty as hell so what's the legal stratgey? Don't have a trial in the first place.
Can't respect R.Kelly but can't hate on his legal team.
Look, it's that coat she stole.
Also I suspect Mimi's babydaddy to be a singer songwriter, not an actor. If I were to choose her a British singer songwriter to get knocked up by, I would choose Billy Bragg, even though he is old and no one cares about unions or whatever anymore.
@J.D.Regent: BITCH SET ME UP!
@Sophie: delay delay delay! sooner or later the evidence and witnesses go missing and the community stops caring. we should get them on those guantanamo cases.
@angelheadedhipster: That's right, Whitney's rich so she only does classy drugs. Like cocaine. Crack is WHACK.
@Jerseylicious: will never get old.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I agree with Star. I don't understand why Babs came out with that book, even though I don't really judge her for having a life that seems far more exciting than mine!
@BowlingForDollars: They better show that on pay-for-view - that would probably be the only fight I'd ever order in my life! And my money's on Babs too!
Dodai, aren't some songs just total rollerskating songs?! Or is that just a weird phenomenon to those of us who grew up when roller rinks were still open?
I fucking miss roller rinks. I can do the chicken dance on wheels like you wouldn't believe.
@DontFearTheReefer:well, it seems to be prevalent enough here. my neighbour gave me a bike that he bought off a crack head in washington square park, for five bucks. he's always getting great bargains with desperate crack heads, in the park, in the dead of night. or at least that's what he tells me.
@DontFearTheReefer: I'm embarassed to admit it, but I actually smoked crack once. I was so riddled with guilt and freaked out, in an Oh my GOD, I can't believe I actually just smoked crack kind of way, that I couldn't possibly enjoy it. And I love altered states and such. But I really wouldn't know where to get it in NYC if you asked me, although I could make some educated guesses.
@tscheese: aw, I think she's just enamored with watching her baby-daddy be a great dad, not marveling over the fact that he manges to change a diaper from time to time.
Tearing apart a family and committing adultery.... ho-hum... wait a second? She said mean things about Star Jones? Oh man, she's crossed a line of morality there.
(I still don't know why I know who Star Jones is, but I'm excited for the day she rides off into the sunset and I never hear about her again, ala Kathie Lee Gifford.)
Can I sit it in on the Ferguson bedtime reading? I'll try to behave myself, I promise. Actually, no, I probably won't. I'll behave disgracefully.
If you want some serious swoon material though, here is a knicker-ripping clip of Ferguson interviewing wee Scottish dreamboat, James McAvoy. If there was ever a threesome I wanted in on, it's this one.
