I feel like an excited little kid right now.

Warner Bros. studio is developing a family comedy movie about Lego, the famed building block! The movie will take place in "Lego World," mixing animation and live action to create a comedic adventure vibe.

Producer Dan Lin, who was also behind Terminator Salvation and The Departed, says Warner Bros. adopted the project because they shared his belief in "a fun factor, creativity and that imagination has no boundaries."

Lego basically defined my entire childhood. Does anyone else have fond memories of the classic building block?

Calling all Twilight fans! Christmas has come early this year.

Barbie has created a line of Twilight dolls, featuring Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen and Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan. The figures are perfect replicas of the stars, with Robert's thick brown hair and pale skin and Kristen's dark features.

At $25 each, the Twilight Barbies will be available on November 1, 2009 at Walmart and BarbieCollector.com.

Why do I have a feeling these dolls are going to be sold out within minutes?

Kathy Griffin has been called many things, but "boring" is definitely not one of them. In an amusing move, the My Life on the D List star brought Bristol Palin's ex-boyfriend, Levi Johnston as her date to the Teen Choice Awards!

Kathy joked about their status as a couple, saying, "Long-distance relationships are not easy, especially when he's in his igloo and I'm in my Hollywood tower."

Levi, the perfect date, was very well-behaved all evening. "I just, you know, look at her, shut up and do what I'm told," he said with a smile.

Oh, Kathy. This is why I love you.

We're all human -- even Tiger Woods -- who had an embarrassing, yet amusing, moment at the crucial 18th hole of the Buick Open in Grand Blanc, Mich.

Listen to what the announcer says right before Tiger lets one go. Now that's a classic sports moment.


Are you pissed that Tiffani Thiessen is holding out on the much-anticipated Saved By the Bell 20-year reunion, that Jimmy Fallon so wants to orchestrate?

Well, don't be. In this new FunnyorDie.com video, Tiff tells us why she obviously has no time to head back to Bayside High and hang with Zach and Slater. That's right, Kelly Kapowski has way too many balls in the air to take time out to go back to cheering with Jessie Spano and Lisa Turtle.

Find out what's keeping Tiffani oh-so-busy -- like grilled cheese competitions and sunbathing -- and why she's comparing herself to the likes of Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Madeline Albright, Oprah, Madonna and Queen Elizabeth.

But wait! People magazine has done the impossible! They've gotten Tiffani to pose for a SBTB reunion cover!!! This is earth-shattering! How mad is Jimmy going to be?



Very few women haven't read Judy Blume's tween classic Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. This clip of the hilarious Will Arnett on Monday night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon will bring back great memories of Margaret, the adorably awkward girl we all secretly related to. Watch him read an especially dramatic excerpt from the book above.

I get that the Channing Tatum hype is being shoved down our throats lately, but, after watching this video of the G.I. Joe actor spoofing Dirty Dancing, I can't hate him for it!

He's adorable, hilarious, and, did I mention GORGEOUS?

That new wife of his is one lucky lady!

Seriously -- watch it. It made me laugh out loud more than once.

My hilarious cohort Jacki has brought this photo of Jon Gosselin to my attention and has come up with two possible scenarios for this scene:

1) Jon is attempting to take his celebrity to the next level by becoming the next pregnant man.

2) Hailey Glassman, Jon's new plaything and daughter of Kate Gosselin's plastic surgeon, is giving her man a consultation for his tummy tuck.

I would LOVE if you would continue the madness and post your captions or ideas for this photo below. Then we can all have a good laugh at Jon's expense. Come on -- you know you want to.


America's Got Talent has just become my favorite show on television.

Season four contestant David Johnson took a risk and performed the ultimate tribute to David Hasselhoff. Crank up your volume, call over your co-workers and enjoy this hilarious clip. Laughter is good for the soul. Even better when it's about The Hoff.

brunocover.jpgWhat? You don't think he's hot? Hasn't anyone ever told you that a good sense of humor makes a person that much more attractive?

And what a sense of humor Bruno's Sacha Baron Cohen has. The actor was given the opportunity to reenact Jennifer Aniston's nude GQ cover from earlier this year and, obviously, he went for it! Feast your eyes on July's issue -- if you can take it. 

This is second time in a month we've seen Bruno's backside and, I have to say, it's pretty nice. All round and perfect....


The people at FunnyorDIe.com are at it again, and this time it's Denise Richards who the've convinced to make fun of herself.

In this fake infomercial, the It's Complicated star is selling, what else?, her funbags, for the low, low price of just clicking "play".

But wait, there's more! If you watch this now, you may actually get a chuckle, a snort, and even a little giggle.

Don't wait! Act now!

This made me laugh.
Though I have to admit that I do feel bad about Madonna's disappointment over not getting to adopt Mercy James, this SNL skit is freakin' funny. It has the Material Girl being taunted by Angelina Jolie over how many babies she and Brad have. And every time they said "baby" I just found myself giggling.
Check it out.


This is for all those people out there, like me, who can't but laugh when people fall down. I swear, I'm not a malicious person in the least, but the minute someone takes an unexpected tumble (myself included), I can't keep it together.

So, if you share in my love for a classic wipe out, check out Disney Princess Demi Lovato clean the stage with her face, while wrapping up her opening-act stint for the Jonas Brothers in Chicago.

Excuse me while I go watch it again...

Angelina Jolie was all smiles in Cannes, as she posed with the loose-lipped co-starsDustin Hoffman and Jack Black, of her new film, Kung Fu Panda.

Let's have some fun -- what's Angie really thinking here?


The folks at Heavy.com are geniuses. Please, please watch their re-enactment of MTV's The Hills, with senior citizens playing the parts of Lauren, Spencer and Heidi. I had to put my hand over mouth because I was giggling uncontrollably. What's even funnier is that I Iike the Heidi from Over the Hills so much more than the real one.
see katherine heigl throw back shots.jpg
Check out Grey Anatomy's Katherine Heigl doing shots with fiance Josh Kelley!

I'd love to be able to tell you that Kat and Josh were getting hammered in celebration of their upcoming nuptials (they plan to wed right around Christmas), but the couple was actually throwing back shots of wheatgrass and ginger at a local health store in Los Feliz, Ca.

Looking for a little honeymoon love potion, are we?

Celebrity Alma Maters
You guys know I went to Marshall University in West Virginia because when We Are Marshall came out I wouldn't shut up about it. (BTW, WAM just came out on video. Buy it, watch it, love it.) But do you know where Hollywooders went to college? You probably know Matthew McConaughey went to University of Texas because he's always rockin' some orange and giving the Horns. And Natalie Portman famously attended Harvard... while starring in Star Wars. Talk about multitasking -- what a show off!

Test your celebrity smarts by playing this new Celebrity Concentration game called Star Alma Maters. See if you can match stars to their schools before the timer runs out. And brag a bit by posting your score below.

Celebrity Mom Quiz?
As fellow celebrity watchers (obsessers?), you guys have opinions on Hollywood mothers. There are the perfect moms (like Katie Holmes who seems to have a ball with Suri... while dressed to the nines in four-inch stilettos), the hands-off moms (like Nicole Kidman, who is rarely seen with her kids) and the party moms (like Britney Spears, who -- let's face it -- is just a train wreck in the mothering department).

To celebrate these moms -- and moms in general -- we have a fun new quiz called Who's Your Celebrity Mom? After you take it, post your results below. And to my mom, Nancy... You're heads and tails above the rest. xo

I don't know what it is about Jennifer Garner that I like so much. Maybe it's her girl-next-door quality or because I so loved her in 13 Going on 30 (especially the scene with the Thriller dance!), but I just think she's adorable. Here's Mrs. Ben Affleck, and mother of Violet, in Tokyo, promoting her new movie The Kingdom.

Jen told People that she took plenty of hard hits on the set of her new flick. "It was so down and dirty that [I] had scratch marks that we had to cover up on my face for the next few days," said Jen, who plays a U.S. government agent sent to investigate a bombing in the Middle East. But Ben, the always supportive husband, urged Jen to, well, knock herself out."He was just like 'Go, go for it, babe! Harder!' I thought it would have made him a little bit nervous to see them chucking me against the wall, harder and harder with every take."

They are just so cute. If my hubby and I were movie stars we would be just like them.

I just love a juicy blind item --this is courtesy of the Daily News's Gatecrasher:

Which international sex symbol had to return to her own country to terminate a pregnancy that was the result of a brief fling with a U.S. hip-hop titan?

My guesses, based on absolutely nothing? Shakira and Wyclef or Sienna Miller and Diddy? Your guesses?

I have to tell you, Blabber-ers, when I saw this item in this morning's Daily News I immediately thought of you.

"Eight brave party-crashers found themselves ejected from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's New Orleans fund-raising dinner in Southampton Saturday night. The interlopers used heavy fog to sneak into producer Jane Rosenthal's back garden while 90 guests enjoyed cocktails around a tented pool."

I thought to myself, "Was it you, Stephanopoulos, that tried to crash the party? Or could it have been Chatty Cathy, who was sad she wasn't invited?

Just a reminder of how much we appreciate your comments -- good or bad, we're always interested in what you have to say. And by the way, was it any of you that tried to get an up close glimpse of Brad and Angie?

Richard gere.jpg
I feel old!!

The once-young and virile Richard Gere was looking very much like my grandpa yesterday, at the NYC premiere of The Hunting Party. Remember when he fell in love with hooker-with-a-heart-gold, Julia Roberts, in Pretty Woman, and when he literally swept Debra Winger off her feet in An Officer and a Gentleman? He's still handsome, but I'm pretty sure if Richard lifted anything close to Debra now it would be Ben-Gay city for weeks.

Here's a fun blind item for you all to take a stab at, courtesy of the Daily News:

"Which celebrity actress' Xanax prescription is often passed around in Los Angeles nightclubs by an equally famous younger actress, who's friends with her daughter?"

I have my guess, but I don't want to taint yours. Guess away!

If Demi Moore was my mom I would totally ask her for fashion advice. MKG.jpgThat said, I suggest that Demi's daughter Rumer Willis not walk out the house without taking a quick minute to say "Hey mom, how am I lookin'?"

Rumer is totally channelling Mary Katherine Gallagher, the lusty, clutsy Catholic school girl (fabulously played by Molly Shannon).

I just don't get it.

Which divorcee, who recently ended a high-profile relationship and is having a summer fling with a less known TV star, is responsible for this quote:
"Dating becomes very different [after a divorce]. You realize after you have had children that you'll never love anything more than your child... So it makes the new sort of single-mom dating process very different. It's like growing up. It's adult."

Is it...
Britney Spears
Uma Thurman
Kate Hudson
Mary-Louise Parker

Christie Brinkley is always smiling. Case in point? When her husband cheated on her with a high schooler, Christie made public appearances accesorized with her radiant smile -- and went so far as to pass out popsicles to paparazzi camped outside her house. Talk about smiling through the pain.

Over the weekend she was at the 18th Annual Wild Wild West Carnival in Watermill, New York, schmoozin' with The Insider host Pat O'Brien. Yes, the Pat O'Brien who left psychotic, drugged out voicemails begging for sex from some woman who wasn't his wife, then followed them up with a trip to rehab. Creep city. I'd stay 20 feet away from the guy, but not Christie. Not sure if she's polite... or clueless.

Caption the photo...
With Pat O'Brien invading her personal space, the smiley, sweet Christie Brinkley is thinking ___________________________.

*The winning caption will be announced in my Daily Blabber video on Friday.

It's tough work being an intern at iVillage.

With Lindsay Lohan's scandal the only thing anyone is talking about these days, we thought it would be fun to "assign" our interns -- the wonderful Joanna and Katie -- the laborious task of trekking four blocks to Times Square to Madame Tussauds's wax museum for a meet and greet with "Prison Lindsay."

Check out their work...

Has anyone ever heard of Imari Seduction perfume by Avon? According to Perez, award-winning actress and former American Idol-er Jennifer Hudson is now peddling their smelly wares.

Liz Smith, Avon executive vice president, gushed, "Avon is a company dedicated to empowering women, and we believe that our Avon Representatives and their customers will be truly inspired by Jennifer's dream-come-true success story."

Will you rush out to buy J.Hud's eau de toilette?

Sounds like John Mayer's been hitting the peace pipe again. This week, the "Continuum" crooner blogged about the incident at his concert last weekend where 63 people were arrested for underage drinking, reports TMZ.com. Of the 63 people arrested, "55 were named Kyle," John joked. He also feigned shock that those who are under 21 would want to drink at his shows, asking, "What were you thinking? You have your whole life to engage in underage drinking. What's the hurry? I didn't start underage drinking until I was 26." Har-har-har.

The wannabe comic then warned, "If I happen to be walking backstage and I see any of you young men passed out drunk on a stretcher, make no mistake about it, you will come-to in front of your disappointed parents with a face full of Sharpie and the sneaking suspicion that you've been teabagged by one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2007." Hmmm. We wonder if John's penchant for teabagging was the straw that broke the camel's balls -- oops! back -- leading to his break up with Jessica Simpson?

Nah, she probably liked it!
