Whoopi Goldberg didn't like that, and says: "Patrick did everything and went everywhere to try and stay healthy as long as he could.

And if I even wanted to make films anymore. I felt I had done what I had to do. I contemplated being a hermit. I went to a distant mountain top that you could only walk to. No electricity. No water.

• "Once I got the part, I did some work with a coach. Everybody else in the show is doing a modern Southern accent and I wanted something old-fashioned. There are no contractions.

[Telegraph]
• "I am fine — happy and healthy. It's irresponsible when people obsess about my shape and size.

• "We did have a few moments of friction when we were tired or after a long day of shooting. [Jennifer Grey] seemed particularly emotional, sometimes bursting into tears if someone criticized her. Other times, she slipped into silly moods, forcing us to do scenes over and over again when she'd start laughing. I was on overdrive for the whole shoot - staying up all night to do rewrites, squeezing in dance rehearsals, shooting various scenes - and was exhausted a lot of the time. I didn't have a whole lot of patience for doing multiple retakes. It was horrifyingly, hypothermically cold in that lake, and we filmed that scene over and over. And despite the fact that Jennifer was very light, when you're lifting someone in water, even the skinniest little girl can feel like 500 pounds." — Memories of making Dirty Dancing, from Patrick Swayze's memoir.

• Tila Tequila's lawyer says NFL player Shawne Merriman's claim that he was trying to keep Tila off the road because she was drunk when he allegedly assaulted her is just spin. Her lawyer said, "Shawne Merriman and his advisors have decided that the best defense is a good offense, attacking Tila Tequila in the press with a lot of calculated spin to cover up his illegal and indefensible actions. Fortunately, we as a society will not tolerate a 6'4", 270 pound all-pro NFL linebacker physically assaulting a young lady who is 4'11" and 93 pounds. It is never justifiable to brutally assault, choke, strike and imprison a woman." [TMZ]
• Shawne Merriman's ex-girlfriend Gloria Velez says she doesn't think he could have choked Tila Tequila because he never laid a hand on her during their four year relationship. [TMZ]

• Jay-Z says of working with Kanye West again for his new album Blueprint 3, "The most interesting thing in the studio was Kanye because of Kayne's growth.

On this one, he had an opinion about how the songs should sound and it was just great energy that we had in the studio." [AP]

• Jennifer Aniston says she doesn't care if she's portrayed inaccurately in the media. "It doesn't bug me, if people don't believe it. That's all," she says. "I would just hate it if people actually believed any of it. That's what I would be disappointed with because I don't want crap like that to distract from what I do, my work." [People]
• "I think that's because it's just instinctual as a woman to be the caretaker of your home. Women complain that men don't do enough, but it's your own fault... You train your man to do nothing. You can't blame someone for not knowing what his or her job should be if you don't ask for it right off the bat," says Jennifer Aniston, adding, "I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase." [N.Y. Daily News]

The Good::
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise might be psycho, but always look sleek.

Liya Kebede, can I be you when I grow up?
Words I never thought I would say: I love how Ellen Pompeo is dressed.
The color of Becki Newton's dress got me hot.

The Bad:
Lucy Liu's dress was probably a dazzling sketch...but the execution seems a little off.
Drew Barrymore's skirt and belt combo is a little much.
That shapeless black gown isn't doing Cynthia Nixon any favors.
J. Lo: Stay home! You look so uncomfortable!

The Ugly:
Rachel Zoe: Then, now, always.
Molly Sims should refrain from wearing floral sculptures.
