... er, well ... actually Mariah's people thought the fan's dog (named Vicky) was really cute and brought the dog up to meet Mariah. The fan (named Rody) was left downstairs, in the bitter cold. At least the fan got a few pictures of Mariah Carey playing with their dog. See, Mimi does love her fans. [Source]

Whoa ... are Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson back together?


These pictures remind me of the good ol' days when Tommy and Pam used to get sloshed all the time and then go home and ... er ... "make love" -- and then film it. It's nice to see the classic Tommy & Pam back together ... wait, did I just say that? [Source]

Jessica Simpson has been spending quite a lot of time with her "mane gay" (get it mane gay like main gay but mane because he's a hairstylist? Hey, it took me, like, 3 minutes to come up with that ... it's kinda funny) Ken Paves since her split with Nick Lachey:


It looks like Jess is regretting whatever it is that she had done to her lips ... she is covering up her mouth in these pictures. See, sometimes collagen isn't the answer to all of your problems. [Source]

Les News:

• Kathy Griffin learns that she got the axe from E! When Griffin's people called Harbert, "Apparently Ted told my reps that the E! red carpet is a puzzle and I am a piece of the puzzle, which is a wonderful puzzle piece, but I don't fit this particular puzzle and that when I see the puzzle, I will get it. I am a piece that doesn't understand only because they can't tell me who will take over ... They kept saying, 'When you see the new puzzle, you will know it is not a personal insult.' I was like, are you kidding? I got canned, bottom line. I can't even be like Star Jones and be like, 'Oh, I have a book tour coming up!' " It turns out she has been replaced by Ryan Seacrest. Boooooooooo!

The All American Rejects chose Detroit to be the final city of their tour ... and they really pulled out all the stops to put on a fun show:


We were relegated to having to sit in the top balcony of the State Theater and found the temperature to be only slightly warmer than the 8th circle of Hell. It had to be about 98-million°F up there ... irregardless, we really enjoyed the show!

I have to give a big shout-out to Emily from Noise magazine in Lansing, MI. It was very nice meeting you ... and I hope your drive home was quick and safe.

Sarah and I are planning on hanging out tonight ... we need to get one of our lazy sit-all-night-on-the-couch-and-try-to-do-nothing-together sessions in before the havoc of Xmas takes us over. I am happy to report that I am totally finished with my shopping (at least, I think I'm totally finished) and it should be smooth sailing all the way to the new year.

Last thing, I have to wish a Happy Birthday to Kelsey ... I hope you have a great day!

And that is all ... I'm out.
