Cynthia Rodriguez, the woman who eventually lost her catch of a husband to Madonna, is pissed off yet again. You see, Alex is reportedly ditching his children on Thanksgiving to play monkey for Madge and her crew, and Cynthia expressed her anger in an eloquently-worded e-mail to an opportunistic friend:
My 6-foot-3, 220-pound soul-less, soon-to-be ex-husband is abandoning his kids on Thanksgiving to be with Madonna … She called and he ran on her command back to New York City … Gross!
Thunderdome time! Madonna vs. Cynthia Rodriguez, the fight is over when they've both died and stopped annoying us for good.

David Letterman, still irked that John McCain chose to go on Katie Couric instead of his show, calls up the perky CBS news anchor and demands an explanation. Her excuse? McCain never mentioned that he was supposed to be on The Late Show.
What a liar! Also, keep ridin' that zeitgeist, Dave!
Official Mollygood sweetheart Rosie O'Donnell is at it again, this time responding to Barbara Walters' response to Rosie's statement that the ladies of The View don't always like each other. The fact that she can sit around and do stuff like this all day makes us confused — do we laugh and think it's awesome or cry and think it's sad?
Once again, there's trouble on The View. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with Elisabeth Hasselbeck and America's desire to ship her over to FOX News — no, this time around, the source is none other than Mollygood's sweetheart, Rosie O'Donnell. You see, Rosie told some reporters that all is not rainbows and sunshine over at the morning television henhouse: "I'm not saying they loathe each other, but the fact of the matter is there was not a lot of camaraderie off camera." Barbara Walters, of course, had something to say about that and took a moment from humiliating Elisabeth during Hot Topics to defend their lovefest (around the 2:45 mark).
Donald Trump, care to comment?
• That precious puppy cam is taking the world by storm. [DListed]
• Kanye West was arrested for assaulting a paparazzo. No, this isn't news from a couple months ago — it actually happened again. [INO]
• The Jonas Brothers make normal feuds sleep-inducing. Where are the train wrecks? [Yeeeah]
• Hilary Duff will be returning to our television screens in the near future. Well, at least she's no longer trying to sing. [ICYDK]
• Don't make a kissy face at us, Beyonce. [CityRag]
• Is it really necessary to show off this celebrity butt crack? [PS]
Brad Garrett, who will forever be known as that guy from Everybody Loves Raymond, is evidently followed around by the paparazzi more often than he'd like. (Who wants to pay money for pictures of Brad Garrett is a completely different topic for discussion.) Naturally, it wears a guy down, and he inevitably snapped last night in LA. Behold the wondrous footage of a man completely losing his cool.
Oh, Jennifer Aniston, no. No no no. Why, after four years, would you even think about opening your mouth to a national publication about the rumored feud between you and Angelina Jolie? This just reeks of desperation and lends entirely too much credibility to the naysayers who claim you're bitter and resentful.
All of this nonsense is the result of Jen "icily" telling the newest issue of Vogue: "What Angelina did was very uncool." This, in light of Angie's recent revelation that she and Jen's ex-husband, Brad Pitt, fell in love during the making of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, contrary to earlier reports that the romance started only after filming.
Unfortunately, Jen's friends aren't helping matters. One is even calling this middle school feud "hugely significant": "This interview shows that Jennifer is no longer afraid of Angelina." No, actually, it shows that Jennifer still can't let this whole thing go.

Today The View celebrated what is likely one of the last few days the ladies will offer anything interesting for our viewing pleasure, due to the light at the end of the political tunnel. Nobody wants to hear these hens sit around and squawk about menopause — we tune in every morning to see Elisabeth have a nervous breakdown in a fit of ignorant rage.
Over the last couple of weeks, Whoopi has been determined to cut to commercial the second Lissy starts going on a rampage, much to the disappointment of everyone desperate enough to be watching this show. But today she flat gave up after attempting to explain herself to Elisabeth for the hundredth time to no avail.
Please, Xenu, if you're out there, get Obama elected so we don't have to see this smug idiot's face tomorrow morning crowing about how the "good guys" won.
Our girl crush, Carrie Underwood, set the record straight in this month's Elle magazine when it comes to those "controversial" comments about Tony Romo still calling her.
It was just something that was said in passing, and I would never mean to say anything to hurt anybody or to stir up anything, because I’m just not about drama. At all. I might be mad too if somebody said my boyfriend was calling some other girl. So I can definitely see where she [Jessica Simpson] would be coming from. But I haven’t talked to him since, like, May.
We had a feeling she wasn't attempting to cause drama and it was just a slip-up, but we can't help but smile a bit knowing she likely got under Jessica's skin just a little.
Sometime Lindsay Lohan lady friend and current Tila Tequila girlfriend Courtenay Semel is the daughter of former Yahoo chief Terry Semel. She is also, as some have described her, a vicious fame-seeking lass. So it makes sense she's being sued by security guard Jaroslaw Jarczok, of Las Vegas' Pure nightclub, who alleges she punched him in the face while drunk and screamed the most awesome line ever:
Danity Kane, the mildly talented girl group that was doomed from the start thanks to creator Diddy, is officially in shambles. Upon losing two members, the always classy Aubrey O'Day and sidekick D.Woods, a third girl has decided to call it quits: Shannon Bex, also commonly referred to as the other blond. This leaves only two girls (Aundrea and Dawn, pictured on the far left and right, respectively), who obviously cannot carry the group on their own. Shannon, arguably the nicest member of the bunch, was reportedly "tired of the drama, cat fights and Diddy." We can't argue with that, but we will begrudgingly admit that this makes us terribly sad. Don't judge us.
After the jump: The girls' first performance together upon learning that they won the reality competition and had a spot in the group. Diddy, who can be spotted obnoxiously dancing off to the side, managed to take a fairly good thing and completely destroy it. Nice work, Diddles. CONTINUED »
DIVA-ISH LOHAN'S 'BETTY' GIG AXED EARLY "It got so ugly on the set of 'Ugly Betty' between Lindsay Lohan and the popular ABC show's star, America Ferrera, that Lohan was cut from an agreed-upon six episodes to four. One production source said, 'It was a mess.' … One episode, titled 'Granny Pants,' was about how Lohan, playing Betty's high school nemesis, would 'de-pants' Ferrera. But Ferrera exacts her revenge and pulls down Lohan's pants instead. 'Lindsay wasn't wearing any underwear,' the source said. But a Lohan pal fumed, 'Bullshit! Lindsay wears underwear all the time now. She was wearing a G-string. And it was America's fault. They were rehearsing the scene and America wasn't supposed to pull Lindsay's pants down - but she did. Lindsay was so embarrassed, she started crying.' … The pal blames Ferrera for any issues, saying, 'America was mean to Lindsay. Producers give her too much power. Lindsay didn't do the last two episodes because America didn't like her and got her kicked off.'"
The View was awesome yet again this morning, thanks partly to Elisabeth waking up on the wrong side of the bed and also because of Whoopi's absence. Poor Barbara Walters had to mediate between Joy and Elisabeth, which was ineffective and led to one of the more intense shouting matches we've seen as of late.
The tension begins around the 4:00 mark, where Joy attempts to explain why Sarah Palin's likability has plummeted, which — of course! — Elisabeth takes personally and uses as an excuse to announce her respect for George W. Bush. Yeah, seriously. She believes W is the reason America has stayed safe from terrorism for the past seven years, but implies that the country will be blown to smithereens under an Obama presidency. Even Barbara takes issue with this, which leads to an even more glorious moment of Elisabeth getting snippy with her boss.
The segment ends — after much screeching — with Elisabeth offering Joy more "Obama kool-aid," because she's that mature. The only person who escaped this argument unscathed? Sherri Shepherd. What a strange, strange world this has become.
ANOTHER ANNOYING GUEST LINED UP FOR THIS WEEK'S SNL "Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg better watch out for Mark Wahlberg! The actor is miffed after Samberg portrayed him in a skit called 'Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals' on Oct. 11's show. … A source hints to Usmagazine.com that Wahlberg will appear on SNL this weekend to get his revenge in person."
Marky Mark had his panties all in a funky bunch last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, still pissed about that Saturday Night Live sketch where Andy Samberg impersonated him talking to animals.
After Kimmel plays some of the video, Wahlberg, with absolutely no trace of humor whatsoever says, "When I see that kid, I'm going to crack that big f–king nose of his."
You'd think growing up on the tough streets of Boston with a third nipple would have given Mark a little bit of training with chilling the eff out.
Look what we found! A picture of Madonna and Guy Ritchie appearing like they actually like each other. Enjoy it while you can, because the divorce proceedings are already starting to get nasty. A look at what each divorcée is saying about the other, after the jump.
The Hills frenemies Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag were spotted hugging last night at a Los Angeles restaurant, sending the staffers at Us Weekly into an "OMG they're totally friends again!" frenzy.
Conrad was in the restaurant celebrating her runway show at Los Angeles fashion week with family and close friends. Meanwhile Montag and beau Spencer Pratt were at the bar eating dinner.
After spotting Conrad, Montag was seen asking if she could congratulate Conrad on her clothing line. And after a brief heart to heart, the two girls were seen hugging. They were both smiling and seemed happy to be talking.
Wait, that was it? There was no big public declaration of friendship? No tears? No press releases? We'd call what just happened maturity. Not the same as a reconciliation.
Side note: Remember when Heidi used to look like that?

It's not as if this hasn't been made clear in the past, but Star Jones reiterates in a new Essence interview that there is no love lost between her and her former co-hosts on The View. At least she left before Elisabeth Hasselbeck fell in love with Sarah Palin and Bill Ayers.
Jones also talked about her divorce from Al Reynolds, whom she admits she no longer loves.
