ANGELINA JOLIE IS TEAM CURRY

It looks like NBC will rue the day they fired Ann Curry. When Matt Lauer decided he no longer wanted Ann as his cohost on the Today show, she was unceremoniously replaced by younger Savannah Guthrie. Viewers (us included) were fond of Ann and turned off by Matt’s tyrannical behavior. (HIS reputation will never be the same.) Ann’s fans are tuning out in droves and ratings for the show are disappointing – especially since the Olympic games ended. Best of All, Radaronline reports that Angelina Jolie has expressed her outrage at Ann’s treatment – she and Ann worked together to bring awareness to Darfur, among other things, and struck up a friendship. Angelina says if NBC wants to interview her or Brad in the future, they will ONLY do it with Ann.

OPRAH’S FEET DON’T LIKE VINTAGE SHOES

Ouch! Oprah Winfrey’s feet are rebelling on the set of The Butler, now filming in New Orleans, Louisiana. She wears huge bouffant wigs and appropriate vintage clothing and shoes for her role as the wife of the White House butler played by Forest Whitaker. The movie spans several decades and Oprah has a massive wardrobe with appropriately painful shoes. Even her striped flats were hurting her as she arrived on the set today, so she took them off until the cameras rolled.

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOR RUMER WILLIS

Rumer Willis, 24, the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, may not be getting along with her mother, but her own life is better than ever. She barely finished filming a horror movie and she’s already working on another film. Plus she’s had a steady boyfriend for the past few months – Jayson Blair. Jayson starred on MTV’s “The Hard Times of RJ Berger” and he has a hot new series starting in September – “The New Normal.” Rumer has been unfairly tormented on the internet for her looks and it’s nice to see she has a good looking, successful beau.

PHYLLIS DILLER WORE A MEAT DRESS BEFORE LADY GAGA DID

It is said that Phyllis Diller was a bored, middle-aged housewife when she decided to leap into show business. She did stand-up until she was noticed for her crazy laugh and frazzled hausfrau act and started guesting on TV shows in the 60’s. Bob Hope had her on 23 of his specials and numerous Vietnam USO shows. We happened to meet Phyllis at a party hosted by Zsa Zsa Gabor and her Prince at their home back when Zsa Zsa was healthy. Phyllis was friendly and very entertaining. She was a successful and pioneering female in a male-dominated business, and she outlived all her husbands and boyfriends.(Photo above from Bon Appetit magazine)

HOW DID CHARLIE SHEEN AND HIS TWO EX-WIVES BECOME BEST FRIENDS?

It’s a little hard to digest the idea of Charlie Sheen’s second ex-wife Denise Richards throwing a 35th birthday party for his third ex-wife Brooke Mueller on Sunday. Brooke threw the party at her home, which she shares with her two children with Charlie (daughters Sam, 8, and Lola, 7,) and her adopted toddler Eloise. Brooke brought her three year old twins with Charlie, and of course Charlie was there for the festivities. This is certainly a family that is more than willing to forgive and forget. Charlie and Brooke’s legendary drug and alcohol problems seem to no longer be an issue. The whole inter-relationship is very civilized, but we have a feeling Charlie’s money has a LOT to do with it. Plus the fact that they all live in separate houses.

Katie Holmes is trying to cram a whole lot of normalcy into Suri’s life before she attends school for the first time this fall. They just returned from visiting Katie’s family members in the Midwest and Suri met her cousins for the first time. Flying commercial and schlepping their own luggage through the airport was a new experience for Suri. Katie wants Suri to get used to playing with kids her own age and sharing her toys.

COURTNEY LOVE WANTS CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

#courtneylove #janetcharlton #lanadelrey

When Courtney Love isn’t shopping, she’s ranting on Twitter and she recently became irate when Lana Del Rey performed what was described in Rolling Stone as a “delicate” rendition of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana’s hit “Heart- Shaped Box” in concert in Australia. Courtney slammed Lana with a tweet saying “You DO know the song is about my vagina, right? So next time you sing it, think about THAT!” The tweets have been deleted, but certainly Lana will think twice before singing the song again.

FORMER CSI STAR GARY DOURDAN IS TRYING NOT TO LOSE HIS HOME

#garydourdan #janetcharlton

In 2OOO, actor Gary Dourdan, now 45, landed a role on the new series CSI and his future couldn’t have been brighter. But in 2008 his contract was mysteriously not renewed on the hit show, and there were rumors of “personal problems.” Certainly he can be a scary guy – he’s been charged with battery against girlfriends more than once. After he left the show he was arrested several times for drug possession. Now he’s filing suit against Wells Fargo Bank, hoping to stop repossession of his Venice home because he hasn’t made payments. And it’s the second time this year that he has sued a bank for the same situation. A sad story, but evidently drugs have not been kind to the once successful actor.

LADY GAGA AND HER NEW BEST FRIEND

#ladygaga #dogs #janetcharlton

Lady Gaga doesn’t ALWAYS have a boyfriend along while she’s touring, so she’s keeping steady company with the new puppy in her life. Her adorable poodle mix named Fozzi was originally thought to belong to a friend of Gaga, but he seems to be all hers now. He’s been her constant accessory in Austria and Bulgaria and obviously enjoys traveling and socializing with fans. The ideal companion.
