  • The New York Post is alleging SCANDALOUSLY that Bethenny was intended to be the winner of The Apprentice: Martha Stewart until just before the live finale started, when the six-year-old granddaughter of Charles “Soggy Cigar” Koppelman blurted out the winner’s name in front of SHOCKED ONLOOKERS and forced producers to switch things up for suspense. I suppose it doesn’t matter either way, since Martha basically phoned in the second half of the season and probably would’ve been fine if they’d picked a chipanzee, or perhaps Chris Kattan. [NY Post]
  • And in other non-news—it’s been a slow week, I’m really scraping bottom here—erstwhile child star Brad Renfro was arrested while trying to buy heroin near downtown L.A.’s Skid Row. Classy! I was reluctant to include this at all, because when you’re a 23-year-old actor and your last hit was ELEVEN YEARS AGO I’m not sure you even qualify as C-list anymore. J-list? W-list? [AP]

    In Renfro’s defense, he was just doing research for his upcoming role in the next Grisham Best-Seller to Blockbuster, “The Junkie.”

    I was wondering who the guy in the Santa hat was and then I was thinking, gosh, he looks a LOT like that Emperor Palatine in Star Wars. Then I realized, that no, it’s the Pope!! Oops! And to think I’m Catholic… Guess I need to say more prayers today at Mass.

    yep, he’s and Sidious were seperated at birth…maybe Lucas should have casted Ratzinger and saved all the dough he paid the make-up artists!

    Anyone remember Devon Sawa? He was in Casper, Little Giants, Now and Then and Wild America. He was arrested a couple weeks ago for beating up his girlfriend. I heard the SWAT team busted in on them butt-ass naked. She said they were just having sex, but they arrested him anyway because she was screaming so loud.

    Damn… He must be gooooood in bed to make someone scream so loud the SWAT team gets called.
