America's sweetheart has had a rough year so far. Kelly Clarkson, who has been having a very public feud with her record label, has now canceled her summer tour. Ticket sales have simply not been up to snuff for the American Idol sensation, and the Clarkson posse must now re-tool the tour for a smaller audience. Of course, Kelly has released a very sweet apology to her fans via her website.
Well, it's official. We're all getting very old. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (who it seems just yesterday were infants on the cheesy sitcom "Full House") turned 21 yesterday. Of course, growing up in the entertainment industry has aged these two quicker than most kids. They've already had their fair share of drug allegations and eating disorder controversies. Maybe adulthood will be nice and uneventful for these very, very rich twins.

Recent Grey's Anatomy castoff Isaiah Washinton is already talking about his firing. Washington got the axe as a result of some bad behavior, including a very homophobic remark to fellow cast member T.R. Knight. Here's what Washington had to say:
"I'm saddened by the outcome.I did everything that the producers and the network asked me to do. I came back under great duress and stress, and thought I was doing the job I was hired to do."
It's getting hard to decipher which of Paris Hilton's medical conditions are real and which are fictitious, but reports that the incarcerated heiress suffers from A.D.D. appear to be real. Is this a surprise to anyone with a single neuron firing in their brain? Well, no. But when you stack this with her alleged claustrophobia and general lack of character, it's no wonder Paris freaked out when she got locked down without her meds.
Britney Spears appears to have done something right for a change. The wild child has reportedly decided to forgive her mother for encouraging Brit to go to rehab. Mother Spears was on Britney's long list of people to blame for all of her scandalous behavior over the last few months, and the pop singer had been holding quite the grudge. Doesn't Britney know that mom is always right?
CBS has announced that season eight of Big Brother will feature an uncensored, three-hour nightly version of the reality show on Showtime's ShoToo channel. CBS is emulating their European version of Big Brother, where nudity and cursing help to pump of the ratings. While a little skin always spices things up, the editing process is what makes reality shows bearable. Three hours of people doing nothing is gonna be pretty painful.
Paula Abdul's new reality show is going to be awesome...as long as you're not a Paula Abdul fan. Hey Paula, which will hit the air on June 28, follows the American Idol judge around as she almost compulsively inserts her foot into her mouth.

Justin Timberlake doesn't seem to be letting go of his bad feelings towards his ex-girfriend Britney Spears.

Paris Hilton has allegedly had her first breakdown in jail. The heiress reportedly needed a visit from a shrink after a bout of tears and has started complaining about the facilities in the slammer. You mean there's no maid service?
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is pretty funny when he's mad. After Fox successfully appealed the FCC's fines for two naughty words that hit the air live during the Billboard Music Awards, the FCC Chair used those very words in his public statement. Kevin seems to be missing the concept, here.
Kathrine McPhee is making the most of her runner-up finish on season five's American Idol. The beautiful crooner has signed on to star in the independent comedy The Last Caller. Hopefully, Sanjaya won't be starring in anything anytime soon.

Mother Spears will appear on The View Wednesday to talk about the feud that kept her daughter from visiting good old mom in the hospital on Mother's Day during her recent bout with pneumonia. Yikes!

Rule number one: Don't mess with Lost fans. After season three's finale twist was leaked on the Internet weeks before airing, some devoted fans started firing blame arrows at the show's producers.

Just days after her televised spat with Rosie O'Donnell, Elisabeth Hasselbeck is finding herself on the wrong side of an online petition to fire her from The View. The conservative co-host has clearly rattled some cages, and a few thousand viewers are calling for her head.
Nicole Richie may not win daughter of the year. The Simple Life star has not visited her mother in the hospital as mom recovers from a major surgery, proving that feuds run deeper than blood.
Funny woman Kathy Griffin is dishing about the recent on-air spat between Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck (and Rosie’s decision to bail out three weeks before the end of her contract).

The vanishing Simple Life star has been in treatment before for her eating disorder and prescription drug abuse.
Paris Hilton has been photographed carrying The Bible lately. P.R. move? Only time will tell. Most convicts don't find God until they've been in the joint for a while, but maybe Paris is just getting a little head start as she prepares for 23 days of spoiled-rich-kid hell behind bars.
Perhaps only divine intervention will get Hilton to understand how laws work.

Britney, Britney, Britney. What else can we say? This time the pop diva stormed off of a commercial airplane just minutes before takeoff because the plane didn't have leather seats. As we all know, leather seats are a key component in airline safety these days. Maybe Britney was just looking out for everyone's well being.
This little drama was just the beginning of what was a really crappy weekend for Brit. Her House Of Blues show in Orlando, Florida was little short of catastrophic.
Okay, so they didn’t really get wild, but Angela Kinsey and Brain Baumgartner (who play Angela and Kevin on NBC’s The Office) did visit the real-life city where the sitcom is set. They took in some of Scranton’s sights and watering holes mentioned on the show and even toured a local paper company.

FOX is hoping to expand its empire next season with a variety of new shows. The network already has a healthy stranglehold on the ratings with its mega-hits American Idol and House. Now, FOX hopes to steal more viewers from rival networks with a smattering of comedies, dramas, and reality shows.
The CW made a bold decision by canceling the much-loved Veronica Mars. After losing Gilmore Girls as well, the network has a challenge ahead. The network, however, is moving forward by adding three new dramas, one comedy, and two reality shows.
CBS may be known for its procedural crime dramas, but apparently the Eye Channel doesn't want to appear one-dimensional. The network has announced its new fall shows, and it's clear that the CBS higher-ups are not afraid to take some serious chances. The new slate includes a series about a sexy vampire, a comedy about two nerds and a hot chick, and a dramatic musical (bringing back painful memories of Cop Rock).

So much for Paris Hilton learning a lesson from all of her legal problems. The troubled heiress’s prison sentence has been reduced from 45 days to 23 days for “good behavior.” The sentence is reportedly getting reduced simply because Hilton showed up to court. Let the celebrity coddling begin!

Fox has committed to at least two more seasons of the high-tension drama 24. The real-time serial is currently wrapping up its sixth season. Fox hasn’t decided whether 2009 will represent the final season of the show, perhaps waiting to see if the drama can get out of the ratings doldrums before pulling the plug.
Paris Hilton might not have to serve all 45 days in jail after all. While petitions are battling to keep Paris out of the slammer or put her behind bars, the L.A. County Sheriff's office has hinted at the possibility that Paris could get away with a reduced sentence. If this happens, expect to see a full-scale riot from people who have absolutely no life.

The masterminds behind American Idol are at it again. That is to say, they are stealing another unoriginal concept and hoping to take it to the bank. The Search for the Next Great American Band (short, snappy title, huh?) will scour the country searching for the Sanjaya of musical groups.

MTV’s Movie Awards are kind of the black sheep of the movie awards family. They’re a little more dangerous, a little more hip, and they relate to the younger generation in a way the Oscars simply cannot. Thus, the presenters and performers tend to represent the cutting edge in music and movies. This year is no exception, as such names as Rihanna, Jay-Z, Jessica Alba, and Shia LaBeouf will take to the stage.

Yesterday, we playfully suggested that someone start an anti-Paris Hilton petition to make sure the troublesome heiress serves her 45 days in jail. Today, tens of thousands of people have signed a petition urging just that. Thank you for listening, but we were just kidding.

Warning: The following information may cause your head to explode. (Or at least itch to point where you'll need to scratch it.)

Meanwhile, thousands of people have already signed a petition to keep Paris from heading to the hoosegow. Really.

This documentary follows the lives of three high schoolers on the brink of dropping out, and attempts to pinpoint why school isn’t working out for them.

Paris Hilton has rewarded her publicist's attempt to absorb the blame for her recent bust for driving without a license by rehiring him. Longtime Hilton publicist Elliot Mintz has attempted to take full responsibility for Paris' inability to understand what a suspended license means. Hilton is appealing her sentence to 45 days in jail for driving without a license, after a DUI bust cost her that privilege.
The Hoff has officially been hassled. A Los Angeles judge has temporarily suspended David Hasselhoff’s visitation rights with his two teenage daughters. The decision comes only a few days after the release of a video showing the former Baywatch star drunk as a skunk, shirtless, and barely able to eat a hamburger.
We've been hearing for a while that Lost won't be on for too much longer. Now ABC has announced that the show has been extended for three more seasons. Although each season will be shorter than previous seasons (16 episodes as opposed to 23), it should give the show time to tie up the unending string of loose ends.
