Sideshow | 2 weeks later, still married
Her marriage to Josh Kelley is barely a fortnight old, and Katherine Heigl's already like "I can't stand Josh!" Nah, she's said nothing of the sort.
Her marriage to
Josh Kelley
is barely a fortnight old, and
Katherine Heigl
's already like "I can't stand Josh!"
Nah, she's said nothing of the sort.
Katherine totally loves her man.
But, as K.H. told celebrity news show
The Insider
, she has developed some quick pet peeves about Josh.
"He loves to narrate what's happening on TV while it's happening, while you're also watching the same show," Heigl tells
The Insider
for a report due to air last night. " 'OK, you know what? I'm actually watching the show. It'd be great if you shut up right now.' "
Not that we're trying to manufacture conflict where there isn't any, but did you know that Katherine's man Kelley is such a goof he lost his wedding ring - on the couple's wedding day? (Cue the Freda Payne song.) Heigl and Kelley confirm there was a wee bit of a panic that day. But two helpful guys and a metal detector later, the gold band was recovered.
Why Britney lost it
"Unimpeachable sources" tell TMZ.com that they know the real reason
Britney Spears
allegedly went loco Thursday night in a bizarre episode that ended with her strapped to a gurney. And it wasn't too many Frappucinos.
TMZ says Brit was mightily tiffed that she had to be deposed by
Kevin Federline
's attorney since that was her day with the kids. Brit felt so put out she demanded to be given "make-up" time with the kids that night to compensate for the time she missed with them.
But TMZ notes that Brit's logic is faulty: Her depo, which was moved to Thursday because
she
failed to show up for it on Wednesday, was scheduled to end at 11:45 a.m., while her visit with the kids wasn't supposed to start till noon. So what did set her off?
What's with the accent?
Celeb TV show
The Insider
says in a report set to air last night, that Brit "spoke with a British accent during her stay at Cedars-Sinai hospital last Friday."
Does this mean Brit suffers from
Megalomania Anglophilialis
- the same complex
Madonna
developed when she adopted her preposterously pretentious Brit accent? Maybe she had just seen
that
Mary Poppins
DVD one too many times.
Call him Chubby Shady
Tell me it ain't true,
Eminem
!
TMZ.com claims that the 35-year-old hip-hop megastar, who was rushed to a Detroit-area hospital over the holidays with severe pneumonia, has gained so much weight, he's pushing 200 pounds.
The Motor City rapper's rep,
Dennis Dennehy
, yesterday confirmed that
Marshall Mathers
was treated at a local hospital for "complications due to pneumonia." Denny said Em "has since been released and is doing well recovering at home." He did not address the weight issue.

Victoria
"
Posh Spice
"
Beckham
.
"Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck 'em," B yesterday said with venom.

ESPN radio comes and goes . . .
. . . and comes back again.
Local sports radio channel ESPN 920, which has been off the air for the last few days, is coming back by Feb. 1 - but it won't be back at 920 AM
or
have local programming.
Huh?
Here's the story: ESPN Radio is killing off its local radio station, ESPN 920. Beginning on Feb. 1, the network will simulcast ESPN's New York station to folks in our area at 1040 on the AM dial. The signal at 1040 will cover much of the same area that received the 920 signal.

The 'Cocaine Variations'?
The Orlando Sentinel reports that famed pianist
Tzimon Barto
, of Eustis, Fla., who has played with numerous world-class orchestras, including the Philadelphia Orchestra, was arrested Saturday and charged with cocaine possession and tampering with evidence.
According to the arrest report from the Lake County sheriff's department, a deputy saw Barto exchange items through the window of his white Jaguar convertible in front of a known drug house. Later, when the deputy stopped Barto for a traffic violation, the officer "observed several white flakes on [Barto's] lower lip." Tests showed the substance was crack cocaine. The pianist was released after posting $7,000 bond.
"We love him very much, but he's made some mistakes," Barto's mother,
Evelyn Smith
, who is a longtime Eustis city commissioner, told the Sentinel. "He's under medical care."
She would certainly agree
"Now and for the foreseeable future, virtually everything involving
Britney
[
Spears
] is a big deal." So says Los Angeles Associated Press assistant bureau chief
Frank Baker
in an internal memo issued yesterday - a copy of which was posted on Gawker.com.
Boy, that qualifies as an understatement.
His greatness will last
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association yesterday announced that it will honor
Steven Spielberg
with the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille award at the 2009 Golden Globes. The honor was to have been bestowed at this year's Globes show, which was canceled because of the Writers Guild strike.
