Good Mom Alert™: Angelina and the kids in London.

Publications: People, In Touch
Date: 8 August 2011

Fresh trash on Thursdays! I've written it many times before, but it bears repeating. Other people have to do something to get on the covers of The Only Ten Magazines That Matter. Angelina Jolie merely has to exist.

It's all about her and the kids this week, Brad is not mentioned. Here are the headlines.

• People: Angie and the kids take London
• In Touch: Angelina: Inside the Twins' World

Bells Are Ringing Alert™ and Rich People are Rich: This week's Jen and Justin news.

Publications: In Touch, Star
Date: 8 August 2011

Fresh trash on Thursdays! Two new stories about the Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux romance are in the supermarket rags this week, and they both point in the same positive direction. Here are the headlines.

• In Touch: Jen & Justin: $60 million mansion
• Star: Jen and Justin set the date (Exclusive)

I don't know if any of the stories can be trusted, but I do know with recent pictures, Justin has finally shaved off that ridiculous beard.

It may be his "deer in the headlights" look, but I'm going to have to get used to this. I imagine Jen feels the same.

Fussin' and Feudin' Alert™: Queen orders Camilla to stop bullying Kate!

Publication: Globe
Date: 8 August 2011

Fresh trash on Thursdays! Sorry for the weird picture. I was trying to find a shot of all three of the women in this story, Liz Windsor, Camilla Parker-Bee-otch and Long Tall Katy all together at once and this is the best I could do.

So, the Queen herself has stomped her mighty hoof and asked for the end of the alleged Camilla-Kate unpleasantness.

Though honestly, let's be fair. if Buckingham Palace, the very old building with the very sensitive feelings, wants to end the Camilla unpleasantness once and for all, it might take a high speed paparazzi chase in a Paris tunnel, if you know what I mean.

Terrence J LEAVING 106 & Park!!!!!!?

Terrence J, of 106 & Park and 'The Game' recently announced that he was leaving the show!!!!!!

HOLD-UP! Don't get too sad (or happy).  Terrence is only leaving for a month to work on the film, 'Think like a man'.  

'Think Like a Man', is based on the best selling book written by Steve Harvey about a group of women who use Harvey's book to figure out their men.  Terrence J, will join the all-star cast that will consist of, Morris Chestnut, Chris Brown,Gabrielle Union, Michael Ealy, Taraji P. Henson, Meagan Good, Kevin Hart, LaLa Vazquez-Anthony, and Keri Hilson.

Good luck to Terrence on hos new ventures.  Maybe somebody will kidnap, I mean offer Rocsi a part next so we can be rid of her for a bit too. Just kidding, we HEART Rocsi over here, but the show could use a little SHAKE-UP to keep things fresh and interesting... Don't you think?

'The Mo'Nique Show'- Canceled or not?!? Sources say 'YES'

Rumors have been swirling around for a few days now that after 2 seasons 'The Mo'Nique Show' has been AXED!  Although no official word from the network has been given about the status of the show, some sources are saying that the show is a wrap. 
Rodney Ho of The Atlanta Journal Constitution has been following the story and has found out some interesting news about the show.
[UPDATE: At 3:40 p.m., I received an email from a spokesperson at BET which included a slightly milder euphemism: "The Mo'Nique Show will be on production hiatus beginning in the fall." ... Mo'Nique Hicks and The Mo'Nique Show are important to the BET Networks family and we look forward to continuing our relationship our with her."]


The Atlanta-based show used to tape at the Turner Studios.  But at present that studio is being used until October to tape another BET show, according to Ho.  If the show was indeed coming back for the fall, then taping would begin by August.  August is almost here, and there is no word yet.  So it's pretty safe to say, that the 'indefinite hiatus' status really means, the show is done.

Ratings don't appear to be the reason for the cancellation.  'The Mo'Nique Show is/was one of the highest rated shows on BET.  Sources are saying that there were conflicts between BET management and Mo’Nique.

Affleck isn't a fixture in the Only Ten Magazines That Matter, but there have been some stories about trouble in his marriage to Jennifer Garner.

Ben. Buddy. I know we've never met and it's exceedingly unlikely you'll ever read this, but going back to J. Lo would be the worst move of your career, and I'm including Gigli and Smokin' Aces.
