Mean Lily Has Reemerged. Declares War on Katy Perry Posted: 08 Dec 2008 11:01 PM CST Since Lily Allen's latest rant can't be blamed on booze - she's allegedly sober - we'll categorize it as insecurity issues. On Monday, the loudmouth British songstress lashed out at American singing sensation Katy Perry during a radio interview. Here's what Lils had to say about dear Katy on the U.K. radio station Capital FM: "I happen to know for a fact that she was an American version of me. She was signed by my label in America as, 'We need to find something controversial and kooky like Lily Allen.' And then they found her… I think the lyrics and stuff are a bit crass… When I met her I was bit frosty with her because someone asked her to describe herself. She's like, 'Aha, I'm like a fatter version of Amy Winehouse and a skinner version of Lily Allen!'. It's like, you're not English and you don't write your own songs, shut up!" But, Lily, Katy does write her own songs! Go back to nice, Lily! You look foolish when you're mean. Are you concerned that you'll never sell as many albums as Katy???? [Images via WENN.]

Leno To Stay At NBC!!!! Posted: 08 Dec 2008 07:09 PM CST They've just thrown a HUGE curve ball into the game! Many people were expecting Jay Leno to leave NBC once his contract at the Tonight Show was up and he was unceremoniously dumped to make room for Conan O'Brien, the long-running program's new host. Insiders predicted that the other networks would offer Leno, still a ratings draw after all these years, way too much money and he'd easily be wooed over to a competing net. Well, everyone was WRONG! According to the very reputable New York Times, NBC is going to announce that Leno is staying at the peacock network and they are giving him a nightly show at 10 P.M. He's basically going to do the same show he's been doing - only earlier. In other words, he just got a promotion!!!!!!!! And he probably is getting paid quite handsomely for it. No broadcast network has ever before offered this type of nightly show during prime time. Conan and Letterman must be PISSED!!! The move is a win-win situation for NBC, who is currently fourth in the ratings - behind ABC, Fox and CBS. Not only do they keep Leno and keep a competitor from getting him, but since they're sucking so hard in the ratings, they have nothing to lose by giving up their 10 P.M. time slot. In fact, they have a lot to gain! The cost-cutting network, who has recently been laying off hundreds of employees, may be able to greatly reduce costs of developing and producing other prime-time shows by having Leno on at 10. And, Jay is bound to bring in viewers AND advertising. AND he will help all the NBC affiliates boost their nightly news ratings. Genius move!

Eating For Two? Posted: 08 Dec 2008 07:00 PM CST "Rocker" Avril Lavigne was spotted out at a grocery store this past weekend looking a bit round in the midsection. She was LOADING up on lots of junk! With the recent reports of trouble in her marriage, we sure hope she's not preggers! Besides, she's publicly said she doesn't want kids until her 30s. What do U think? Is she preggers? Fat? Or just trying to get some publicity? [Images via BAC Pictures.]

Katie Needs To Work On Her Posture! Posted: 08 Dec 2008 06:45 PM CST Enjoying a stroll in NYC this weekend! Wait, how old is Katie Holmes? She's 29? And already hunchbacked like a 60-year-old lady? We bet it's because all the ceilings in their house were lowered to make Crazy Eyes Tommy feel taller. "Kate" has to stoop to get around. Somebody free Katie! Or at least get her some calcium!

Fran Wants To Replace Hillary in the Senate Posted: 08 Dec 2008 06:30 PM CST Caroline Kennedy isn't the only lady who has her eye on Hillary Clinton's soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat! Former TV star Fran "the Nanny" Drescher thinks she deserves the important job. She tels NY Magazine why she is a qualified candidate: "I've just been given the appointment of U.S. diplomat," says the Nanny. "My title is public diplomacy envoy for women's health issues, and I just got back from a four-country European tour of duty. I believe next I'll be sent to the Middle East." As an anti-cancer activist, the cancer survivor has helped to get some important health issues to the forefront. "I've been very successful in getting a bill passed in Washington," she says. "I was thinking I'd take the next four years to lay some groundwork, but I'm throwing my hat in the ring." But, most importantly, Frannie says, "I'm an authentic and honest person. And I think Capitol Hill needs more of that." Good points, but we're not sure that New Yorkers would want you repping them! We assume they'd want a Kennedy over a loudmouth TV star!

Britney's on PETA's Shit List Posted: 08 Dec 2008 05:45 PM CST Take note, Larry the manager and Daddy Spears! The folks at PETA are not happy with Britney Spears. What'd she do now??? Her most recent video, Circus, features 'captive' elephants. A PETA rep writes, "As Britney is such a victim of the paparazzi and always complaining and crying about how she hates to be held up in her guarded house and can't feel free, she of all people should be able to relate to the horror that captive animals go through when they're used for entertainment. Except Britney chooses to perform, and the lifestyle just comes with it. Animals are ripped away from their mothers at a young age, kept in chains, and prodded with electric shock devices to make them perform." Don't blame BritBrit! She's told what to do. Duh!
