Ellen on Idol
Ellen Degeneres is the new fourth judge on American Idol. When I first read about it, I thought it was an April Fool’s joke played either very late or very early. …

Dear Jon Gosselin
Please go away! Please stop posing for cameras and accepting every invitation to every see-and-be-seen D list party. I’m really sick of seeing your goofy grin and cheap hair plugs sullying websites I otherwise enjoy. …

Innocent Unless Proven Otherwise
