Howard Stern had a beauty pageant.  Well, sort of.  Actually it was the Tiger Woods Mistress Pageant, and a winner was crowned.  The winner is Jamie Jungers!  Okay, she had a nice story, she won a lot of cash, and maybe she can get a first class ticket instead of flying coach like Tiger used to set her up with.

The Tiger Woods rumors are floating around that he has checked into a sex addiction clinic, someplace called the Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services.  Yes, we are all waiting for the visual evidence of his attending, and yes, he might love sex, but my guess is that he’s addicted to affection/attention. Then again I’m not a psychiatrist, and I don’t play one on TV.

The New York Post is reporting, and I’m sure it will spread and a lot of the stories will be false, but it looks like Artie Lange, comedian and part of The Howard Stern Show, stabbed himself nine times, at least so says the always reliable “source close to a management team.” Here’s wishing the best to him so that when he gets well he can make jokes about him stabbing himself nine times and 50 cent being shot nine times.  Get well, Artie!

Yup, James Cameron is again the king of the world, only this time his world is a far away land called Pandora, and a billion dollars worth of people have gone to see it around our world called Earth.  Yup, lots of people loved Avatar, most people said it was visually unbelievable, and James Cameron can now go back on hiatus for another ten years and then see what technology will let him make in the year 2020.  We probably can’t wait.

There’s a new building about to open, and it’s tall!  It’s half a mile tall!  Man, that’s tall!  Donald Trump wanted to build a really tall building in Chicago, and he built one that is kind of tall, but damn, this building in Dubai, well, it’s tall.  It’s called the Burj Dubai, but I’m just saying that it’s tall.

I hope Eminem is doing okay, what with his admitted drug issues and all, but should Elton John really be going around telling people that he is helping Eminen with his problem?  And does Eminem like the fact the Sir Elton is saying Em is doing “brilliantly?”  Good luck Eminem!

Gotta love a building implosion done wrong. They’ve happened before, they’ll happen again, but hey, when the building doesn’t fall down and go “Boom!” it’s actually much more exciting. Sadly, yes, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, I mean Liuzhou, has since been demolished the old way, with a crane.

Okay, so George Clooney isn’t really king, that title belongs to James Cameron (who has a nomination for “Avatar”), but all kinds of accolades are being thrown George Clooney’s way thanks to his performance in “Up In the Air,” nominated for six Golden Globes. The real question, though, is how in the hell did Julia Roberts get a nomination for “Duplicity?”

Well, Disney animation ruled the weekend box office, with “The Princess and the Frog” taking the top spot, and lots of people are still going to see “The Blind Side.” Next week is “Avatar” so that will probably get every bit of press for the next year (at least if you go by its budget), but hey, who knows, maybe the world will wants to see Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker in a movie about the Morgans instead. For now, yay for Disney and Warner Bros.!

“Chuck,” the TV show on NBC that seems to keep coming back to life, comes back to TV on January 10th, and now there is a game. It’s called “Mission: Chuck Me Out,” and if you like to tweet, this might be for you. Me, I’ll probably get one point, maybe two, so I don’t think I’ll win.
