All this talk about Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie lately has made us sick of the trio — until we see moments like this and we remember that everyone's human after all. At a press conference to discuss The Changeling, Angie teared up when discussing how she drew inspiration for her role from her late mother. It's touching, and a nice break from the "uncool" controversy of '08. Not saying the woman is perfect — because, to be honest, we tend to side with Jen in the love triangle situation — but everyone has a heart.
My newly retired mother decided to use some of her well-earned free time to belittle me. I love that woman.
People magazine has published online excerpts from their interview with the newly gay Clay Aiken.
Aiken, who for years denied his homosexuality, explains that he didn't mean to lie, but simply lacked the wherewithal to come clean. It wasn't until he had his own child, via in vitro fertilization, that Aiken says he realized he needed to tell the world: "It was the first decision I made as a father. I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that."
The born again Christian singer also reveals a bit about how his mother took the news. Here's a hint: not well.
Ryan Seacrest is continuing his effort to take over the universe with a "new" reality dating show that sounds a lot like every other concept as of late — but this time, one of the major networks has been suckered into the black hole.
[NBC] has teamed with Seacrest for a new reality show dubbed Momma's Boy in which mothers of eligible bachelors 'help their sons pick the right woman,' according to a casting notice for the series posted on NBC.com.
'Producers are looking for moms and their sons who are willing to work together as a team to find the perfect mate,' the ad on NBC's Web site said. 'These mothers should have strong opinions about whom their sons should date and be willing to separate the good from the bad.'
Um, has NBC seen Keeping Up with the Kardashians? If we had any faith left in television, it would officially be killed.

Chris Crocker took to the streets of LA yesterday to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day. Unfortunately for the rest of us, we may never know what could have been had Chris actually had a mother.

A cackling Dina Lohan was last night recognized by Long Island's Mingling Moms as one of the best 20 mothers of the region, despite the fact that her most famous progeny is a thrice rehabbed punchline. Apparently in LI, like many parts of the world difficult to get to both physically and mentally, if you're on TV, you're doing something right. Hear that, Uma Thurman's stalker?
