Courtney Love: I Had a "Mini Little Depression Attack"
Judging by her weekend handiwork, Courtney Love seems nothing but energetic.
But the former Hole frontwoman retook to her blog Monday to refute reports that she is suicidal, although she doesn't do her state of mind any favors with her rambling, scattershot style.
"no i am not suicidal, occasionally very occasioanly like all of us i get depressed, and that was over a year ago and i had a mini little depression attack well big one, and the Lanvin show made me happier, i dont know quite why it happened but i find that mediciation is not the answer to this," she wrote, going on to tout yoga, a good diet and Kombucha tea as effective means to ward off the blues.
Bruno's Medium Experience Only So-So
Bruno picked the wrong place to crank it up.
The flamboyant Austrian fashion reporter embodied by the character-crazy Sacha Baron Cohen was ejected from the set of Medium earlier this month after somehow finagling his way past security.
The muscle had to intervene on Nov. 7 after Bruno, going supposedly incognito as an extra, kept interrupting a tense courtroom scene involving the supernatural drama's star, Patricia Arquette.
It's currently unclear whether any of Bruno's antics were caught on tape, but this isn't the first time Cohen's fauxhawked alter ego has been caught in seemingly incongruous surroundings.
Antifur Brigade Brings Lindsay Flour
Turns out the Olsen twins got off easy the other day.
Catching Lindsay Lohan on her way into a VIP room at a Paris club late Friday night, an apparent animal lover dumped a bag of flour over her head, shouting, "Lindsay Lohan, fur hag!" as it happened.
While it's unclear whether the 22-year-old actress was clad in or carrying fur at the time, a rep for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals—which named Lohan to its annual Worst-Dressed List earlier this year—cited recent photos of the Mean Girls star wearing the offensive material as a possible reason for the powdery provocation.
Did Carrie Underwood Pose for Her Wax Statue?
When celebrities get wax replicas made, do they go in and get all the measurements taken—or how is it done?
—Abro
The stars don't "go in." The wax artists from Madame Tussauds museum travel to the celebrity's location and pray that the star knows how to sit still. Take Carrie Underwood. "A couple of people met us out on the road and like did a lot of measurements, a lot of picture taking," she told the Oklahoman. "I had to stand still for a long time."
Who's the mastermind behind a celebrity who has a hit with a new style or trend? Take Posh's short hairdo—was it her idea, her stylist's, someone else's?
—Jennifer in Oregon
Batman's Latest Archenemy: Batman
It may be more the provenance of Superman, but this time it's Batman who's entered Bizarro World.
Following the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin and Two-Face in the Caped Crusader's pantheon of sworn nemeses, Batman is now set to face off against none other than...uh, Batman.
The mayor of Batman, a small oil-producing town in Turkey, has filed suit against The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros., the studio behind the record-shattering blockbuster, looking for a cut in the film's royalties in exchange for using the city's name without permission.
Which begs the question of where hizzoner has been the past 70 years.
U.K. Takes the (Gary) Glitter Out of the Classroom
Gary Glitter may be a convicted child molester, but darn if he can't sing some catchy tunes.
Seems a British exam board had included Glitter's 1970s-era hit "I'm the Leader of the Gang" as "suggested listening" for teen students in the U.K.
But Brit parents didn't want their kids in any gang Glitter was leading.
After the requisite outcry, the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance announced today it was ordering all "reference to the song removed." Phew.
The AQA had cited the ex-glam rocker's hit as an example of music "that relies on changes of tempo or style." With their playlist now de-Glittered, students are left with a selection that includes Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" and Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)."
And we thought the U.S. education system had issues...
View's Halloween: All the President's Women
It's politics as unusual for the ladies of The View.
The bickering cohosts managed to put aside their differences and show a little solidarity—for an hour, anyway—with each dressing up as a former president.
Whoopi Goldberg opted to go as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joy Behar as Theodore Roosevelt, Sherri Shepherd as Abraham Lincoln as seen on the penny (a costume which can handily be given second life as a flat Earth), Elisabeth Hasselbeck as a jelly bean-toting Ronald Reagan, and Barbara Walters as George Washington ('cause the comedy's as wooden as his teeth?).
Now that's what you call trickle-down topicality. Your move, Today show.
Dr Pepper's Guns N' Roses Promise Won't Go Flat
Rock rock? Fizz fizz.
Dr Pepper is bringing out the big Guns, confirming yesterday they will uphold their grandiose and somewhat opportunistic pledge to provide each and every American citizen with a can of the soft drink should Guns N' Roses deliver their long-awaited Chinese Democracy album before the end of 2008.
Though the announcement was made back in March, when such a promise seemed like a stellar publicity ploy that would not necessarily require follow-through, Axl Rose & Co. recently confirmed the perpetually delayed album, their first in 15 years, would be released Nov. 23.
In terms of their deal, the Dr is still in.

Jaime King Seeks Protection From "Aggressive" Fan
Jaime King is getting some protection from an overenthusiastic subject.
The Sin City star has revealed to E! News that she has recently become the victim of an alleged stalker, with a source adding that police have already been called in to run interference in the situation.
"It's scary because all of a sudden you realize that like, you know, my intention with the work that I do is to create something that really touches in to people and that people love," she said.
"It's really strange when somebody takes that to a whole different level."
Strange, but not incomprehensible.
Ringo to Fans: Got to Get You Out of My Life
A day in the life of Ringo Starr no longer includes answering fan mail.
The former Fab has posted a video on his website asking—nay, practically begging—Beatles fans to please please him by not sending him any more notes, photos or trinkets.
"I want to tell you after the 20th of October please do not send fan mail to any address you have...If that is the date on the envelope, it's gonna be tossed," Starr says. "I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. So no more fan mail. Thank you."
Starr, considered the goofiest Beatle, apparently isn't joking. "This is a serious message to everybody watching my update right now," he says. "Peace and love. Peace and love."
What's got him so busy? He did drop an album, Liverpool 8, in January, followed by a tour that recently ended. Other than that, we're guessing it takes a lot of energy to spread all that peace and love.
Katy Perry Gets All Dolled Up
They must have broken the mold when they made Katy Perry in doll form. How else to explain why her would-be pint-sized doppelganger looks more like Dita Von Teese than the "I Kissed a Girl" warbler?
Anyhoo, the chart-topping popster has been immortalized in plastic by the folks at Integrity Toys, which is offering a limited-edition 12-inch fashion prototype to the fanatics.
A waiting list has already formed for the 500 figures, which retail for $49.99 a pop.
Now we just want know, which celebrity doll should Perry's replica get to smooching?
Will & Jada Get Tongues Wagging
When it comes to the pursuit of happiness, where there's a Will, there's a way.
Mr. Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, are so determined in this photo to express their infatuation for each other, they obviously don't have the patience to wait that one extra millisecond it would take for their lips to lock.
Granted, it's not as unsettling as, say, when Liza Minnelli sucked face with David what's-his-name, but it definitely got us thinking about other celebs who've managed to turn their PDA into LOL, like the ones in our Celebrity Makeout Mishaps gallery.
