Paula Abdul recently announced that she will not be returning to Idol when the new season begins. The announcement came after weeks of speculation about her future with the show.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Police were called for the second time in three months to the Hollywood Hills home of actress Lindsay Lohan on Sunday to investigate a burglary there.
No one was home during the break-in, which Lohan discovered after the fact, according to an officer at the Los Angeles Police Department's Hollywood station. He gave no other details except to say that no arrests had been made. He was quoted by TMZ saying, 'I’m not going to put up with individuals violating my family. This is a personal violation and it has got to stop.'
Lohan's house was also broken into back in May, when the suspects were then captured on surveillance video and left after being presumably scared off by the alarm.
A statement from the performer's publicist, Leslie Sloane, said 'many of (Lohan's) personal belongings were taken without remorse'.

Mary-Kate Olsen and boyfriend Nate Lowman were glued at the hip at New York's Jane Hotel, where they partied well into the morning with a crowd that included Mischa Barton.

Reese Witherspoon, cheering from the sidelines as beau Jake Gyllenhaal played basketball during a weekend getaway in Martha's Vineyard, Mass. The actor was participating in a charity match outdoors at the Chilmark Community Center, where he played on a five-person team. Earlier in the weekend, Gyllenhaal ran in a 5K race along with Witherspoon's kids, Ava, 9, and Deacon, 5, who took a fun, leisurely approach to the run while he speedily completed it in under 21 minutes!
Lauren "Lo" Bosworth, cuddling in the candlelight with boyfriend Scott Hochstadt at a K-Swiss-sponsored dinner at West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont. "They arrived hand-in-hand and they were giggling and snapping pictures of themselves with their camera phone at the table," says an eyewitness. "He was always by her side – full-on doting."
Also at the Chateau on a separate night: Rachel Zoe and husband Rodger Berman, dining with a male pal on the back patio. The stylist and reality star, who sipped tea and picked at her salad, scrolled through her BlackBerry at the table and occasionally inserted herself into the quiet conversation. Toward the end of the dinner, Zoe put down her phone and seemed more happy to engage with her tablemates. Berman even put his hand on top of hers and kept it there for the rest of the meal.
Miss Banks also has lined up a guest role on the hit CW show “Gossip Girl” - in which her character co-stars in a film with an actress played by Hilary Duff.
This isn’t the first time the media mogul has gone natural for her show. In January 2007, Tyra took to her talk show stage in the same bathing suit tabloid photographers previously caught her wearing on vacation, and which magazines printed while criticizing her weight.
“Luckily I’m strong enough and I have a good support system… so I can overcome these attacks. But if I had lower self esteem I would probably be starving myself, right now,” Tyra told her audience at the time. “But that’s exactly what’s happening to women all over this country. So I have something to say: To all of you that have something nasty to say about me, or other women that are built like me, women who sometimes or all the time look like this, women whose names you know, women whose names you don’t, women who’ve been picked on, women whose husbands put them down, women at work or girls in school, I have one thing to say to you, kiss my fat .
Tyra, who produces both America's Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show, clearly hopes to become the next Oprah. She celebrated the fifth season of her talk show this week in New York with a huge, choreographed dance party which, from the looks of these pictures, she enjoyed. You may notice that Tyra sports a hefty rock on her left ring finger. It's been rumored for several years now that she's engaged to her banker boyfriend John Utendahl, but Tyra won't confirm the rumors. writer By G.S
There were also British blogging/tabloid stories about Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham being offered £3 million to replace Paula permanently. However, none of those stories can be verified. Those crazy Brits, always making up stories!
What do you guys think? Do you like Shania Twain as a guest judge? I don't necessarily like her music, but I think she has a beautiful voice and could make an excellent guest
This news seems a little more legitimate than the other rumors floating around. First I've been hearing whispers of a Jessica Simpson cameo, but her rep is debunking them. I'm going to put my money the fact that her dad Joe is the one starting the rumors because he can't seem to keep quiet about anything. I'm a bit surprised the rumor isn't that just Jessica Simpson's breasts are guest-judging on "American Idol".
Chalke, 32, recently appeared on "How I Met Your Mother" and in the Lifetime movie "Maneater." She and Afifi, an entertainment attorney, became engaged in 2006. Are you excited that Sarah and Judy are becoming moms? Are you looking forward to Scrubs: The New Class (actual title TBD)?
"Snubbed Out" holds 8 minutes and 52 seconds worth of deleted or alternate scenes from eight different Season 2 episodes. There's not an overwhelming amount of really great or vastly different content among the deletions, but they're naturally worth a look and happily preserve things lost primarily due to unrelenting time constrictions. The material is presented by episode or altogether with title cards and a "Play All" function. While each set of cuts might be better arranged alongside its corresponding episode, bunched together like this, they work fine, especially if you're going through the season set in rapid succession. "Practice, Practice, Malpractice" (4:27) provides the second season blooper reel, which is the usual blend of shot-ruining smiles, uncontrollable laughter, and assorted set hijinks.

Anna started acting very young but, of course, not professionally. She loved watching plays and eventually produced her own with all the neighborhood children. She was always encouraged with the emphasis that she wasn't just "pretending" but rather being an unpaid producer, director, writer and actor.
Although we're just learning of the nuptials, the wedding news is apparently old news. Faris and Pratt wed in a "small ceremony" on July 9th in Bali, according to representatives for Faris. Faris and Pratt, who have been engaged since last year, initially hinted at eloping. "We're thinking of getting married before the end of this year, but we are still sorting that out. I just don't want anything big or fussy. "I have a good girlfriend who is getting married and she's got 13 bridesmaids. So that's not quite my style. Whatever it is, it is going to require a lot of alcohol!"
Meanwhile, it seems more and more certain that Becks will be returning to Milan following his contractual stint with the Los Angeles Galaxy. “It’s simple—I want to return to Milan and Milan have said they would be happy to have me back,” Beckham told La Gazzetta dello Sport. Joined by his son Brooklyn, the soccer stud made the long flight back home on an Air New Zealand flight from London.

The question: "Which Kardashian would make the best mother?" Here's this week's Oh Snap! poll
Our unbelievably unscientific poll results show that 48 percent of respondents believe that Kourtney would make the best mother of the three sisters. But not so fast, Kourtney: Kim came in right on your heels at 44 percent. And for whatever reason, Khloé got the shaft, receiving an endorsement as skimpy as, well ... her outfits. Something about her seems to scream "UNFIT MOTHER" to our people in Times Square.
For Houstonians who follow their crazy, irreverent, antics on the E reality show, Keeping up with the Kardashians, the trio of sisters - Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe - are no strangers to controversy and scandal.

When the blonde beauty first posed for the cover of adult magazine Playboy she was almost physically sick when the crew rearranged her breasts for the shot.
