Rest your head in my bosom, Eddie

There has been a lot of relationship news this week, and for once it’s not ALL about Sandra/Jesse and Elin/Tiger. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to read stories about other celebs! (And to let a few days go by without some other mistresses stepping forward. Perhaps it’s over??) Not that I wanted to hear about Tiki Barber cheating on his pregnant (with twins) wife with an NBC intern…. in her dorm room. What is wrong with these men?!

If you’ve been too busy to keep up with the celebrity gossip or just too annoyed with Hollywood dirtballs to care, here is the lowdown on some of the biggest gossip of the week.

1. Rumor has it Ed Westwick and Gossip Girl co-star Jessica Szhor split yesterday. Apparently Jess was getting frisky with one of Ed’s good friends, Marco Minuto. She was flirting it up during her birthday, and they went back to the same hotel all while Ed was filming in Europe. Ed allegedly broke it off when he heard the news and is really upset about the whole thing. HOWEVER, recent reports from the Gossip Girl peeps say “the story has no merit.” Don’t worry Ed, if this is true, all of CC will comfort you, you sexy man!

2. Michael Lohan proposes to Jon Gosselin’s ex-girlfriend, Kate Major, this week and they are really excited about it. So excited, in fact, that they have been pumping this story into the tabloids and Tweeting it every chance they get. The couple also might be trying for a baby and, according to Michael, they “practice at least four times a night.” Ew, no wonder Lindsay wanted to vomit when she heard the news. Seriously though, we don’t need anymore Lohans running around.

3. Earlier this week, rumors were flying that a very explicit sex tape was being shopped around of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James. Since the news of Jesse’s infidelities broke, Sandra hasn’t said one word publicly, but she spoke out against this latest rumor saying, “There is no sex tape. There never has been one and there never will be one.” Jesse’s rep also confirmed that there is no tape. Rumors of divorce are still floating around, but no one has confirmed or denied it. Good news for Sandy: Jesse James’ show “Jesse James Is A Dead Man” has been canceled, and he was voted the “Most Hated Man in America” by Entertainment Weekly. Way to go, America! Read More »

It’s no news that Gossip Girl has been drawing criticism for its racy content and depictions of teenage debauchery. But the recent ad campaign launched by the CW to promote its second season has reignited the flame beneath TV watchdog groups and snobby critics alike. It’s been grabbing the attention of the show’s targeted demographic as well as news sources such as CNN. But this time, the ads (all of which can be found on the CW’s YouTube page) are under fire not only for their salacious content, but also for twisting around the words of critics and using them to glorify the show’s risque themes.

The Parents Television Council is outraged (as usual) over the ads’ audacious use of the organization’s criticism – in advertising the very show these watchdog groups are crusading against. Tim Winter, president of the Parents Television Council, says that the ad campaign is indicative of the CW’s desperate attempts to gain more viewers this fall.
