Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are skipping the Oscars this year because Anne Hathaway’s hosting. Like a humorless Wu Tang Clan for the next generation, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ain’t nothin’ to fuck with.
The couple is sore over Anne’s SNL impression of Katie, wherein Anne depicted Katie as a nervous, breathy, overgrown insecure teenager. If Tom and Katie are this thin-skinned about one relatively good-natured ribbing incident, I sure hope no one tells them about the internet, which is basically made of cats, oversharing, porn, and jokes about Tom Cruise.

Mel B and Victoria Beckham are beefing over the fact that Posh won’t give Mel clothes from Posh’s line.

Glee is not going to be doing a special Justin Bieber episode, which is disappointing, as I would have been interested in seeing if the show could break the land speed record for sucking.

Brooke Shields won’t allow her children to act. This is kind of like how when I was a kid, my mom wouldn’t let me watch Saved By The Bell or movies rated higher than PG because she was afraid that it would teach me how to be sassy. And, thanks to her efforts, I never sassed anyone, ever, in my entire life. Good luck with that, Brooke. [Digital Spy]
Due to historical inaccuracy, The History Channel has refused to air The Kennedys. I’m calling bullshit on this one. Who says The Kennedy’s didn’t build a time machine and go back to the Middle Ages and teach a young group of ragtag misfits about rock’n’roll? And why’s everyone freaking out over that scene where Joe Kennedy and Rameses II are on a race against time to erect an obelisk at Karnak before Aten unleashes his wrath? Prove it didn’t happen, History Channel. [Daily Mail]
Elton John and his partner have chosen a lesbian couple to serve as godparents for their new son, which is all well and good, except for the fact that how are two godmoms going to possibly raise a well adjusted godchild?

When I read the headline “Garfield Overwhelmed By Spider-Man Suit,” I originally pictured a fat lasagna eating cartoon cat struggling to don a spandex suit designed for a lithe but strong young man.
