WHAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR FERGIE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR AMERICA "First word on Barack Obama's historic nomination acceptance speech from a bevy of celebrities in attendance was decidedly partisan: 'It was excellent,' Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie said. 'It was amazing.' 'Incredible,' said Jessica Alba simply, before joining Fergie, Rosario Dawson, Wilmer Valderrama and Kerry Washington at a private exit from Invesco Field. Alba was at the speech with husband Cash Warren. Other celebrities in attendance included George Lucas with girlfriend Mellody Hardon and his daughter, Forest Whitaker with wife Keisha and Star Jones, and Daniel Dae Kim of 'Lost,' who posed for pictures with the Hawaii delegation."
When Miley Cyrus was chosen to host the Teen Choice Awards, which was filmed last night and will air tonight, we're unsure whether or not the producers expected her to hog the spotlight as much as she obviously did. Judging from the pictures, she treated the entire awards show like one of her infamous YouTube videos, including her BFF Mandy in most of her bits and ruining a perfectly good LL Cool J performance.
In other news, Dwight graced the show with his presence, Mariah continued to use a glitter microphone, Arcuhleta's dad still won't go away — and when did Chace Crawford become so good-looking?

So last night was the ESPY Awards, and you're looking at the best part of the evening: The Giants won for "Best Upset." Speaking of upset, we're a little concerned that there were more celebrities than athletes in attendance. Sure, you need some famous people to attract attention to the event, but when Trista Sutter is posing on the red carpet next to Terrell Owens, you know things have gotten out of control.

Angelina Jolie has always been open about her life before becoming Mother Teresa 2.0, so it was no surprise when she gave details on a former knife experiment gone wrong.
When I was 14, I collected knives. My first boyfriend and I ended up getting into some fighting in bed and being silly. People think that happens every time I go to bed.
It was actually something he never wanted to do again. It was a mistake and we really hurt ourselves. It was just being young, you know, when you're curious about vampires and that kind of thing. Just experimenting. It was an accident and I ended up in hospital.
The fact that she was doing this at the age of 14 — even younger than Miley Cyrus — is slightly disturbing, but what's even more fascinating is the fact that she completely recovered from a not-so-normal past to become one of the most successful celebrities in the world. Which got us thinking of a few other women who have bounced back from their own personal tragedies. Feel free to disagree or throw in your own suggestions. CONTINUED »
We were waiting for this to post on YouTube after witnessing the event live on television. Chris Brown performed that annoying song that was ruined by American Idol robot David Archuleta, "With You," on the Today show yesterday morning, and — geeze, where to begin? He sings approximately 50 percent of the song; he gets mauled by fans while his security and the show producers panic in the background; the anchors awkwardly dance … it's just the most uncomfortable performance we've ever seen on a morning program. And that's including Fergie's crotch show.
It has descended upon us: The Sex and the City movie premiered last night in New York City, much to the delight of … Eli Manning? He was one of the guests in attendance, for reasons unknown, at the type of over-the-top shindig that should only be reserved for stuff like the second coming of Xenu.
The pictures (and there are many) are after the jump. CONTINUED »
During her performance on The Today Show, Fergie participated in many ill-advised activities, such as wearing those hideous leather pants, showing off her crotch and singing.

Scarlett Johansson wasted no time in debuting her engagement ring from fiancé Ryan Reynolds at last night's Costume Institute Gala at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pretty much every celebrity you can imagine was in attendance (except for Reynolds), and 95 percent of the wardrobe choices made our heart cry.

Yesterday was my big television debut on TRL (featuring Gavin DeGraw), and it was even more uncomfortable and embarrassing than I had imagined. My mom insisted on calling the entire family back in Texas to alert them about my appearance, some of my friends from college skipped class to watch … too much attention, if you ask me. I'm just not cut out for the camera.
That said, I found a video of the show on YouTube for your enjoyment. Luckily, it's a little blurry, so you can't see the awkward faces I make throughout — so just trust me on this one. I'm in the blue cardigan to the left of Fergie's head, but you could just as easily find me by searching for the oldest one in the group.
Let me preface this by saying that I love Gavin DeGraw with all my heart. He is my all-time favorite artist in the world, and he is one of the few people (see also: Lance Bass) for whom I would torture myself in this inhumane manner.
I got an e-mail a few nights ago alerting me to the fact that Gavin would be taping a TRL appearance Monday at 10 a.m. (Don't even get me started on the fact that TRL is no longer "live.") Naturally, I signed up right away and spent the days leading up to the show mentally preparing for the screaming teenagers I would encounter. Unfortunately, no amount of preparation could ready me for the hell that was outside the MTV studios. CONTINUED »
Maybe it's just because I'm tired of Fergie and eyeliner commercials and American Apparel models and going out and thongs and competition and diets and porno, but I really can't shake the feeling that these polygamist women from Texas are some of the most beautiful creatures to grace my television in months.

Fergie's mom called into Ryan Seacrest's show this morning to squash rumors that her daughter is pregnant.
She went on to say Fergie and Josh Duhamel's wedding date has not been moved up: "I think people can't believe that people get married because they love each other and not because they're pregnant."
On Fergie's end, she has promised she will never be caught pulling a J.Lo.
It is so stupid. It can be obvious a girl is pregnant but they still deny it. It's as if they want the attention it causes.
I wouldn't be part of all that nonsense.
Agreed; if we were pregnant with Josh Duhamel's baby, we would be shouting it from the rooftops.

The celebs came out in droves for UMG's Grammy Celebration; among them was renowned musical genius Lindsay Lohan. Where was her Grammy? "Rumors" is still one of the most beautiful songs of all time. She spent the evening hanging out with the great influences of Hollywood at a venue that was sure to be alcohol- and drug-free.

The 2007 Teen Choice Awards aired last evening on Fox, and for some odd reason, Larry Birkhead was invited. (Choice Litigious Ex-Lover of a Late Junkie?) As usual, this annual recognition of mediocrity stood as a rock solid reminder of why teenagers aren't allowed to make very important decisions.
