JENNIFER GARNER ISN’T BOTHERED BY A LITTLE RAIN

Nothing seems to bother little miss perfect Jennifer Garner. (And we mean that in the nicest way- we think Ben Affleck is very lucky.) It’s a dreary day and pouring rain in Los Angeles and Jennifer, pregnant with her third child, is walking down the street exposed to the elements and soaking wet, laughing her head off, talking on the phone. We’re pretty sure she’s on her way to pick up one of her kids at pre-school.

KRISTIN CAVALLERI: DWTS IS A POPULARITY CONTEST

Kristin Cavallari was dead right when she said that “Dancing With The Stars is clearly not a dance competition.” It’s a popularity contest judged not by the dance experts but by fans and producers hungry for ratings. We didn’t realize that contestants are given money bonuses when they bring their famous friends to sit in the audience. Producers want the VIP audience section packed with celebrities, and dancers like David Arquette get bonuses when they produce celebs like Courteney Cox. Chaz Bono has been dubbed “this season’s Bristol Palin” – not a good dancer, but an audience favorite. AND he might get a big bonus for producing Cher. THAT’S what makes producers happy.

GIVE “FOOTLOOSE” A CHANCE

Much of the audience invited to an advance screening of the remake of the 1984 movie “Footloose,” had low expectations, to say the least. On the other hand, how bad could it be? It turns out, not bad at all, and lots of fun to boot. The plot is still rather hokey – it’s difficult to imagine a town outlawing dancing, even a religious town in the South. But the characters are fun, and the high school kids are as anxious to have a good time as kids anywhere. (Added bonus: cool guys showing off their dance moves might inspire more high school males to dance.) Miles Teller (above, right) is especially good as the leading man Kenny Wormald’s new best friend, who learns to dance. It’s a sweet upbeat story without vulgarities or unnecessary violence – perfect for a first date. The best part is you walk out happy and grooving to the music.

VANESSA MINNILLO HAS MORE OF NICK LACHEY TO LOVE

Nick Lachey has settled comfortably into married life and he has the love handles to show for it. Just weeks after marrying Vanessa Minnillo, Nick confided to a friend that he’s gone up a pant size. A friend observed “Nick started eating at their wedding reception and he hasn’t stopped yet. He’s happy with Vanessa and suddenly isn’t so motivated to go to the gym.”

DON’T BLAME THE BUNNIES: HORRIBLE WRITING KILLED “THE PLAYBOY CLUB”

It’s a shame that The Playboy Club series was such a disappointment and only lasted three episodes. The Chicago based show set in the 60’s, when Rush Street was hot, LOOKED glossy and great, but the writing was pathetic. A story about the bunnies and their lives at that time would have been far more interesting than the trumped up gangster plot that had nothing to do with the club. A smart female writer would have talked to a slew of former bunnies and gotten all their stories together. These girls had interesting lives and a lot to tell. In those days the prettiest girls in Chicago became stewardesses or Playboy bunnies. It could have been a really fun series.

WILL CHER FANS RALLY TO SAVE CHAZ FROM THE CHOPPING BLOCK ON DWTS?

Chaz Bono pulled out a real trump card in a last ditch effort to stay on “Dancing With The Stars.” He announced that his iconic mother Cher will be in the audience next week if he’s not eliminated tonight. (Producers have been HOUNDING HIM to bring Cher.) Chaz’s awkward dance got him the lowest score this week so his odds are not good. Only an army of Cher fans voting for him can save Chaz now. Unfortunately, Chaz is probably the heaviest contestant the show has ever had, and it’s a huge drawback on the dancefloor.

AMANDA KNOX: FOUR YEARS LATER, JUSTICE IS SERVED

The fact that Amanda Knox was set free ALMOST renews our faith in Italian justice, but many doubts remain. Italians are not as sophisticated as they want us to think – Amanda was reviled because she seemed to be a sexually active, cute college student. That earned her a longer sentence than either of the two men also convicted. Amanda and her boyfriend had NO motive for killing her roommate. It looks like the 3rd man, Rudy Guede, who’s DNA was all over the victim, and a friend went to visit the victim hoping for three way sex, and when it didn’t happen, they killed her. He is serving 16 years. After four years, Amanda deserves an apology from Italy for losing some of the best years of her life.

Video via: OMG

There’s something about falling down an escalator that everyone can relate to. The band Battles with Gary Numan, wrapped their video “My Machines”http://www.omgblog.com/ around a brilliant stuntman whom we hope had padding under his clothes. We couldn’t take our eyes off him.

THOMAS JANE: I WAS A “GAY FOR PAY” TEENAGE HUSTLER

We were frankly astounded when Thomas Jane admitted to dabbling in gay hustling on Santa Monica Boulevard when he was 18 and broke and homeless in Los Angeles. Thomas matter-of-factly told his story to the LA Times. In fact, we knew about Jane’s gay history and he was once the unnamed subject in a blind item we wrote. He’s not the first heterosexual actor to resort to being “gay for pay,” but we think he’s the first to ADMIT it, and we love him for that! It makes his character on “Hung” even more interesting…
