Just like last month, Tracy and I will be debating some of the things we disagreed on this month. Read our back and forth, then tell us what you think. First up? Avril Lavigne...
Suzy: Worse than last month's obsessive love of Will Smith, this time it was your love of Avril "the Spitter" Lavigne. You love her? Really? Personally, I think she should be banished from the music world for mispronouncing rock legend David Bowie's name when she read the Grammy nominations. Then again, it's not like she's truly a musician... she's more of a lip-syncing little troll.
Tracy: Give me break! In a world of pop music tartlets, Avril is one chick who has her head on straight. She does what she wants and makes no apologies -- I find that admirable. She's managed to have a successful career without slutting around Hollywood and is, spitting aside, a strong role model for young girls.
Suzy: Check out this lovely collection of photos -- all pics of that twit totally intoxicated. Boozing, nuzzling other girls, flipping the bird, falling over... I don't know who your role models are, but I seriously question how this untalented urchin can make your list.
Tracy: She an of-age girl hanging with her friends - and in not one of those photos is her cooter uncovered. But I guess it's hard for you to see clearly when you spend all your time in the convent, Sister Suzy.
Suzy: Yes, my child, I do. And I spend most of my time praying that you'll come to your senses about Avril.
Somewhere Chili is boiling!
Usher -- who famously romanced and then cheated on TLC's Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas -- is settling down. According to his spokesperson, the singer/actor/dimple-er is engaged to his girlfriend, stylist Tameka Foster.
Usher tells MTV that he could be walking down the aisle before the end of the year.
Just don't let Chili find out the whens and wheres.

Hurry up and call your girlfriends -- the Sex and the City movie is happening! And Samantha will be played by Kim Cattrall.
It seems it is a done deal as Sara Jessica Parker and the other ladies have signed the papers.
I'd better book a babysitter now!
Even though Jennifer Lopez clings to the hope that people still think she's just a proud Latina from the Bronx, somebody's calling her on it.
Ritmo Latino, a Latino music chain, has banned all J-Lo material from their 50 U.S. stores. David Massry, president of the chain, tells the New York Daily News they are done with Jen because she "has refused personally to promote her new CD in any of our stores" and other Latino-only retail outlets. "We've supported her from the beginning," the prez said. "Now we're told by her record company she will only visit Anglo retail outlets."
So Jenny will sign your CD only if your block happens to be the same block as a Tower Records.
I know this is like my 47th entry about Diddy this week, but this one is too good to let go.
MediaTakeOut.com is reporting that a Bad Boy insider believes that Dannity Kane hottie, Aubrey O'Day, may be pregnant --with Diddy's baby! 
According to the insider, whispers of an Aubrey pregnancy have been widespread among the Bad Boy staff. The blabber explains, "People here are always gossiping, so at first I didn't listen to them. But I swear ... now Aubrey is beginning to show."
Holy Crap!
The snitch continues, "Everyone knows she had something going on with [Diddy]. It makes a lot of sense that he would be the father."
If it is true, the "Making the Band" alumni will be the fourth woman to mother an itty-biity Diddy baby -- and then Aubrey and Diddy can make a show called "Making the Baby".

All you have to do in this town is avoid a glass of champagne and people think you've got a bun in the oven.
That's what started the buzz when Borat's Sacha Baron Cohen's love, Isla Fisher, turned down a drink at the Cat and Fiddle club the other night. Supposedly Isla then made an announcement to their friends.
"We've got some good news: I'm pregnant," she was overheard saying.
Their reps refused to comment on the baby news, but here's hoping it's true. I bet the kid's first word will be "anus".
I know it will never happen, but isn't it fun to imagine what it would be like if Paris actually had to do time?
Prosecutors are saying that Paris violated her probation by driving with a suspended license. They've asked a judge to revoke the reckless driving probation, which could mean she would have to spend up to 90 days in jail! The celebutart's attorney had initially said Par didn’t know her license had been suspended.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, Your Honor.
I am praying every waking minute that she goes to the slammer. I bet when they tell her she's off to the "big house", she'll pretend she didn't understand and head to the nearest mansion.
Poor Kevin. After all he's been through, the talent-less, nothing-without-Britney guy will walk away from his marriage with just a measly million dollars.
Yes, Brit and Kevin have finally reached a settlement in their divorce. They will share custody of their two boys and are just waiting the final signature from the judge, before all of this madness is finally put to rest.
I'm beginning to think Kevin Federline is an evil genius.

Seriously, I'm on the phone with my cable company right now. I need to see much more of this Irish lad.

I just love how she's posing under the Golden Arches. I mean -- do you think the Bentley driving, fur loving diva actually slums at McDs? Ha! I bet she's never even heard of the Dollar Value Menu.

"He thought I was becoming a Jedi."-- Bono to reporters on his son's disappointment that he became a knight of the British empire... not an official member of the Star Wars crew

It seems that Dolly told a British newspaper this personal ditty about herself:
“When I have sex with my husband these days, I fantasize I am with someone like Keith Urban or a petite, hot young woman."
Well, hellooooo Dolly! Maybe Drew is interested.....

In a candid new interview with Parade magazine, Halle Berry admits that she attempted to take her own life after her messy split with Atlanta Braves jerk, David Justice. It was her mom that saved her at the last minute.
"I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming when I had an image of my mother finding me," Halle tells the magazine. "She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. It was all about a relationship. My sense of worth was so low," she says. "I promised myself I would never be a coward again."
Hal also opened up about her second marriage to sex-addict, Eric Benet. She describes their union as "really horrific," admitting that they were in counseling after one year. "I wish I had left then, but I was putting everyone's needs before mine," she said.
Now Halle has moved on with model Gabriel Aubry, and though she's ruled out tying the knot again, she's ready for a new adventure. "Now my sights are set on a different chapter in my life, which is motherhood. That's the goal I have very clearly set for myself."
Shanna Moakler has a really ridiculous problem with former drunky Miss USA, Tara Connor.
Shanna, who won the title herself in 1995, is not happy with her new haircut. Since Trav's wife cut bangs, websites have been saying that she and Tara look super similar. Not exactly a compliment, according to Shan.
"I cut my hair but since I am being compared to the she-devil herself I will grow it out," Shanna said in a recent posting on her MySpace page.
Shanna has her sash all in a bunch because she thinks Tara should have been stripped of the Miss USA title when it was revealed that she had been abusing drugs and alcohol.
You know what I say? WHATEVER, Shanna.
I don't know anything for sure, but I'm thinking Shanna is sitting in her glass house, with crazy Travis, juggling stones.
I already thought Bam Margera was a loon and often comment that I don't know how anyone could stand him for five minutes, let alone marry him, but he's actually managed to climb even higher on the rungs of my crazy ladder.
The Daily News is reporting that Bam has a giant mural of Lance Bass on his garage. "There's a big portrait of Lance in an astronaut uniform, smiling broadly and holding his helmet proudly," says the fortunate insider who blabbed to the paper. "In the background is a NASA shuttle ascending to space on a giant rainbow."
Okaaaaay.
When his friend asked him about the painting, Bam enthusiastically confirmed that absolutely was Lance. He said, "Hell yeah! The guy from 'N Sync who wanted to go to outer space, but never made it and was all gay and sh*t!"
Talk about people in outer space....
"I'm so proud of Tony. He is such a talent."
--an apparently hard of hearing Eva Longoria to People, in reference to beau, Tony Parker's, new French album, Balance-toi.
Here's some juice to go with your bagel this morning.
Drew Barrymore has been out on about with new stud Spike Jonze, but it appears, back in the day, Drew dabbled in some lady love.
Former Jane Magazine Editor, Jane Pratt, announced on her new radio show yesterday that she and DB got it on years ago. Jane's blabbing that, though she did admit to shock-jock Howard Stern that she had had sex with a woman, she never came clean with who it was. Well, she's talking now.
"It was someone famous," she revealed on the air. "I did have sex with Drew Barrymore."
The new radio host didn't go into much detail and never revealed when the romp took place, but Drew did appear on the 1997 debut issue of Jane.
Hmmm. I'm no Einstein but I bet it was right around that time.
Drew's peeps had no comment.
Drew's always been the free spirit so I'm sure this doesn't shock anyone, but it's a little juicy, no?

Anyway, here's the cover of the seventh and final Harry Potter book called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will be released July 21.
I kinda wish the cover was one of those nudie pictures of Daniel Radcliffe from that play he's doing. Way more exciting.


"The weekend's difficulties were brought on by a reaction to an imbalance in medications used to treat my bipolar disorder... Scott was simply trying to help calm me down. I want to make it very clear that he did not hurt me in any way. For lack of a better expression, I was unstable and just lost it."-- Mary Weiland, who torched hubby Scott Weiland's clothes over the weekend and vandalized a hotel room

Which "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum is supplementing a moribund acting career with a thriving business as a pot dealer?
My guess is that it's Vincent Young (Noah)... or the older guy who played Nat. No wonder the Peach Pit was such a popular place! What do you think?
Former soccer superstar Mia Hamm and her baseball playing hubby, Nomar Garciaparra of the LA Dodgers, are the proud parents of twin daughters. They girls arrived earlier today.
"Both babies are healthy," said a spokesman for the Dodgers.
No word on what they were named.

Is anybody still in Oprah's Book Club? I admit that I've never participated -- I'm too busy reading celeb magazines, Beatles books and trashy tell-alls -- but I know some of you buggers out there are all about the Ops, so I'm passing along her latest selection...
According to Amazon.com, the "profoundly dark" book -- The Road written by Cormac McCarthy -- is a "post-apocalyptic masterpiece" and one of the best books of the year.
Wonder if this book will spark the same phenomena as The Secret. O so has the golden touch.
Another day, another celebrity arrest.
While Fergie was probably off getting her butt flossed by Josh Duhamel, her Black Eyed Peas bandmate Taboo was being arrested for driving under the influence after a collision. The 31-year-old hip-hopper, whose real name is Jaime Luis Gomez, was taken into custody yesterday morning after a car crash 20 miles outside of Hell A.
Last night he was released with a citation for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, possession of a prescribed medication without a prescription and driving under the influence.
Move to New York, people! You can partake... and cab it home.

You know -- the whole thing makes me want to eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. And it's nearing Easter, so they have the ones shaped like Easter eggs that are oh so festive...
I have to stop getting to work so early these days -- I'm starving by 10 am!

Much like comic Sinbad, Diff'rent Strokes star Todd Bridges is not dead.
There was some confusion yesterday when a New York radio station released a story about Shaun Bridges, a truck driver whose drug addiction become the subject of a documentary and who recently died after a long illness. A gossip website then took the story and ran, causing lots of chaos for Todd's family, who couldn't get in touch with him.
"There were all these calls about it, and for a half an hour no one could reach me," Todd told People. "I was in (electronics store) Fry's shopping and I had my cell phone on silent. I am just glad that my kid never heard it." He told the magazine, "When you write the story, make sure you make it clear that I am alive."
Todd did have trouble with drugs in past, but he has been sober for the last 14 years.
If Willis was dead, I bet Arnold would have wanted to flush him down the toilet, much like his beloved goldfish, Abraham.
Goldie Hawn better break out the pack n' play.
E! is reporting that Goldie's son and Kate's brother, hottie Oliver Hudson and his wife, Erinn, are expecting their first child together. The couple are newlyweds, having married last June in Mexico.
Let's just hope Oliver's kid gets a haircut before he/she hits puberty, unlike Kate's son, Ryder, who is often seen looking like Cousin It.
And when I say "time", I mean lots of it.
The hip-hop superstar told London's Daily Mirror that his trip across the pond has been eventful. Though his scheduled concert with Snoop Dog was cancelled because Snoop wasn't allowed in the country, Diddy found plenty of other ways to spend his time.
"I've spent a lot of time with Kim in Paris," he told the paper. "And it's been perfect. As soon as we landed, we went straight to the Eiffel Tower, drank champagne at the top and just kissed and kissed."
Romantic, right? It gets better.
"Then we went up to my suite and had tantric sex for at least 30 hours, ordering up whipped cream and strawberries while we were at it. As meticulous as I am with my work, I'm more meticulous with lovemaking. I like to do it for a long time."
You know what? I wouldn't expect him to say anything else.

Just because Lindsay Lohan's dad got sprung from jail doesn't mean that she'll be welcoming him back into her life.
According to Page Six, Linds told her father, "You still haven't changed. Don't go near my mother ever again."
Michael Lohan was released from jail two weeks ago, after serving 20 months for drunk driving. After sending the warning to her dad, "Lindsay called her mother and told her to be careful and to take care of her brother and sister," said a source.
Daddy Lohan was hoping to patch things up with Linds, now that he's done his time and reportedly "found religion."
Be realistic, Mikey. If you and Momma Lohan were Lindsay's party pals, who would watch the other kids?

"I didn't know you were this nice. I thought you were a bitch."-- Legend Patti LaBelle to reported diva Jennifer Hudson, as Patti accepted an award from Jen at the GLAAD Awards.
Love it!

I guess Laguna Beach's Jessica learned something from ex-boyfriend Jason.
Jess and Jason can talk about what's like to spend time in the Big House, as the "real O.C." dumbbell was arrested yesterday on suspicion of felony driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, after crashing her VW Beetle on the Santa Ana Freeway. Cops say Jessica rear-ended an Acura with force and caused "great bodily injury" to occupants of both cars.
The police report said that Jessica's level of intoxication, plus her speed and the wet roadway, were all factors in the crash. The driver of the Acura and Jessica's passenger both suffered minor injuries. Jess is being held in an Orange County jail with her bail set at $100,000. She's due in court tomorrow morning.
Now Jessica and Jason can have matching orange jumpsuits. Stupid, spoiled rich kids.

The country singer's world came crashing down earlier today when her husband/mate/other half was arrested on three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a minor under the age of 13.
Yes, I said under the age of 13.
D.R. Roach, who has been in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse since February, is now in police custody in Taylor County, Texas. He's being held on $750,000 bond.
And don't think Wynonna will be all Tammy Wynette, singing "Stand By Your Man." She's already kicked him to the curb, filing for divorce earlier today.
"I am obviously devastated," Wynonna said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight. "Our family will pull together, begin the healing process and hopefully -- by the Grace of God -- become stronger. We will move forward with our faith, family and our friends to find resolution to this difficult situation."
Maybe she should consult Mary Weiland as to how to seek revenge? Just a thought.


"They are 100% dating," says a close insider. "Reese and Jake are being smart about things and keeping their relationship very discrete and out of the public eye."
The couple met last year while filming their new movie Rendition.
I have a little Bob Marley playing in my head right now:
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I wanna know - wanna know - wanna know now!
I got to know - got to know - got to know now!

"They split in February," a source close to James told People. "It's very amicable."
News of the split broke as James has recently been seen out and about with Miss Lindsay Lohan. One club hopper, who recently saw them out in LA, told People that they "were never affectionate, but they did seem flirty, standing right next to each other, and constantly talking."
Ordinarily, I'd ask y'all who you think James should date next, but let's be honest... Who the hell cares?
If Lindsay Lohan would just try and have a little pride...
LL was seen draping herself all over Paris's ex, Stavros Niarchos, at Teddy's in L.A.. Why these former bffs must recycle men is mind-blowing. Lindsay has dated Stavros in the past, and always seems to be there to pick up the pieces when he and Paris take a break. It's sort of pitiful.
Linds and Stav left the club together, no doubt to stick it to Paris a little more.
You're just a pawn in their little game, Stavros.

The Creepy Dad of the Week Award (also known as the Joe Simpson Award) goes to Jack Birch, father of actress Thora Birch.
Thora was the chick in Ghost World, American Beauty and Patriot Games, but hasn't been around much lately -- maybe this is why. Her dad is also her manager and treated the cast and crew of Thora's new movie, The Winter of Frozen Dreams, to quite the show last week.
Jack insisted that he be on set for the filming of his daughter's sex scene, which is not unusual if he was making sure she wasn't being exploited. Disturbingly enough, that wasn't the case.
"It was so wrong," said one witness. "The director is saying, 'Harder! Faster!' and the father is giving [Thora's co-star, Dean] Winters the thumbs up." At one point, "her father was threatening to kill the assistant directors. Then he threatens to pull her from the movie with three days of shooting left." Apparently, Jack had been giving the director lots of tips on how to shoot Thora from the best angle throughout the filming. If that's not bad enough, the scene took 14 takes to get.
"It was the most bizarre, perverse scene," the insider told Page Six. "One girl on the crew broke down crying."
Okay, I'm nauseous.
There are just certain things that should not be shared between a father and a daughter -- anything to do with simulated sex scenes being number 1 on the list.
How did Eva Longoria allow this to happen?
Eva's beau, Tony Parker, has decided to try his hand at rapping! The San Antonio Spurs star has released this new video, starring the Desperate Housewives looker, for the French song "Balance Troi".
It's bad, people. I thought I was watching a Saturday Night Live skit.
It almost makes K-Fed look like Jay-Z.
