  • Having conquered the worlds of overacting, aerial modeling, and B-list hosting (the Alma Awards, solamente on ABC), Eva Longoria is entering the realm of letters. So what’s she writing—a memoir? poetry? perhaps a zesty bildungsroman? Nah, porn. [Book Standard]
  • People magazine has named American Idol Taylor Hicks this year’s hottest “single and ready to mingle” male star. The list also includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Seacrest, and other stalwarts of “confirmed bachelorhood.” [People]
  • Last night, singer Rufus Wainwright re-created Judy Garland’s legendary 1961 comeback concert, song-by-song, to an enraptured audience at Carnegie Hall. Such was the confluence of nonheterosexuality that during “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart” the entire auditorium simply burst into flame. [AP]
  • Dustin Diamond—Screech from Saved by the Bell—is deep in debt and needs your help to pay off his mortgage. His genius business plan? SELLING T-SHIRTS. [via Defamer]
  • In sharp contrast, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is already not merely an internet empresario but also a fashion maven who MOVES MERCHANDISE. Next week she plans to foray boldly into oilfield services and leveraged buyouts. [ABC]
  • And for your safety, don’t insult Scientology in front of Jenna Elfman OR SHE’LL CUT YOU. [TMZ]

    rufus wainwright totally kicks ass! (sure, he kicks it with pink rhinestone crusted flip-flops, but he kicks it just the same!)

    seriously, i can’t comment on his judy garland concert/recreation, but his albums place him in the category of ‘musical geniuses of our generation.’ (and he’s a really nice guy, both in concert and in person.) if you haven’t already, check him out!

    so screech had bad credit and bought a house with a bad mortgage and now its getting foreclosed and he wants us to bail him out? Loser.

    The best oart about the elfman story:

    Bizarrely, Roecker also says that the Elfmans had a young, twenty-something male companion with them whom they continually instructed to move away and cover his ears whenever references to Xenu were made.

    So Eva is going to write an erotic novel? I think it will be about: Bad actress blows and does a lot of guys to get acting jobs.

    Wait! Is this her biography?

    Why wasn’t Ace Young’s inclusion on People’s Hottest Bachelor’s mentioned? Especially his assetion: In the future … “I will have as many kids as I can afford.”

    EEK!!!! Add the Pittsters, Brittney’s Brood, and TomKat’s kids to Ace Young’s progeny and the next generation is DAMNED!

    Heeheeeeee, the “SOLAMENTE on ABC!” promo (ending with wry, slightly embarassed smile)was so fabulous. Possible Tony’s recap? It was pretty great, and your girl Ramirez was in da heezy…
