I misread the Jennifer Lopez quote (guess a piece of dirt on my screen looked like a period to me), and it sounded so nonsensical that I kept imagining Tracy Jordan saying it. Here it is (imagine in Tracy Jordan voice): "Part of my business is looking good. But I'm not the monster. I used to be in the exercise department."

Paula regrets leaving American Idol . . . wasn't she pretty much fired? It wasn't like they were throwing money at her and she said "Nope, sorry, I've been here too long."

@EdnasEdibles: Really? I thought it was pretty much like that. She wanted more and more money, demanded $10 million as I recall, and they offered her $5 million. She said no, she wouldn't do it unless they came up to her price - and they called her bluff.

@Breamworthy: I think it was more the realization that her salary was way beneath (double-digit millions beneath) what the other judges were making. Just another uppity female thinking she should make the same salary as a man for doing the same work.

@Laines: I don't think that's entirely accurate. Only Simon's salary was released - no one knows what the other judges make. Yes, Simon makes a lot more than she does, but he is heavily involved in the creation and production of the show, and largely responsible for the rebirth of this entire genre. Simon and Paula's roles are not really comparable, for reasons that have little to do with gender.

@Breamworthy: True. I would be okay with that if she was asking to match the salaries but as I understood it she was asking for a raise and they kept lowballing their offers. It never feels good to know how little your input is valued by your employers. And then they replaced her with Ellen - someone well known for having tons of music industry knowledge and experience?

I can't imagine P.A. was anything close to a joy to work with but I have a hard time believing that Jackson's or Seacrest's salary negotiations would have been treated with such disdain by TPTB or the press.

I admit my bias because a friend worked for Cowell & company and the stories made me an unfan.

I've always felt kind of bad for Julian Lennon. Take out the fame and I've known so many people in that situation, even losing their dad before they were able to really reconcile. I also have always thought he was a solid songwriter but of course, he's going to always have that shadow over him.

@HarpMadness: He really is an amazing musician in his own right.

I just find it ...almost ironic...the parallels between John's relationship with his mother, and Julian's with John. Especially the fact that John lost his mother suddenly in his late teens, and Julian lost John in his late teens, both times when the child and parent were becoming close again. So sad.

@Ailatan: I just returned from Rio last month. I'm basically still working through my post-vacation blues and miss that city terribly. I used to think Jesus Luz was a bit goofy looking, but seeing him in that context makes me think he's really cute. Brazilian men are really charming. Those coconut waters are great for dehydration, by the way!

This column about the Nine after-party begins, "There's sure to be gossiping when you put a lot of females in one room…" And when you put men in one room, it's what? A brain trust?

Men (and I am one) gossip like little bitches. It's scientific fact, as was evinced in this Jezebel post from September.

@dancerevolution: My dad doesn't wear non-collared shirts or non-khaki pants. AT ALL. He did the whole boarding school for high school thing in the 60s and never let go of the uniform, I guess.

PS- He also runs in green khaki pants and a long sleeve rugby shirt with a zip-up sweatshirt. Classiest runner ever.

I'm sad for Elin but really proud of her at the same time. This might sounds harsh but I think in many cases of infidelity, the partner that was cheated on stays in the relationship for too long, or for the wrong reasons. If I was in her position I would do the exact same thing. Maybe that's because I'm not very forgiving. Cheat on me once, shame on you, cheat on me twice, shame on me. Cheat on me with 9 different women, fuck you I'm taking the kids and the money.

A motto to live by! Also, I hope she gets half the money and alimony and child support. He's totally screwed with her life and she deserves at least that. I have no sympathy for cheaters.

I hope she makes him very, very sorry for having such little respect for her, their children and women in general. I highly suspect he doesn't even remember the names of the umpteen women he's cheated with, if he ever bothered to learn them in the first place.

@Working-for-the-weekend: 274 million smackers. Take that, you cheating whore.

He's got a problem - obviously - I shouldn't call him a whore. But for a man who was devastated by his father's philandering he sure has a funny way of dealing.

@sybann: " But for a man who was devastated by his father's philandering he sure has a funny way of dealing." ...Or a very common way, really! Unless we have skills/support to do otherwise, we often mimic our parents' worst behaviors. Just last night, a therapist was telling me how many of her alcoholic clients have alcoholic parents. The abused often become abusers. Etc....

Not that I wouldn't leave him in a second.
