Is Anderson Cooper replacing Katie Couric?
According to pretty much everyone you ask, Katie Couric is on her way out as host of the CBS Evening News. Well, everyone but CBS that is. The network – and Couric’s people – are all insisting that everything is well and good. However both traditional and internet media have been buzzing all week that Couric will be let go right after the inauguration in January – if not sooner. Everyone seems to have their own thoughts on why the Evening News has had such lackluster ratings under Couric – but no
Confirmed: David Carradine to Cameo in Paul W.S. Anderson's "Death Race"
MTV has it right from the horse's mouth:
"I wanted to tip my hat to the original, but also wouldn't want it to become a cheesy cameo-fest. There's obviously been, "Oh, where's the David Carradine cameo?" It's there, and I think it's a nice thing for fans. In fact, I had a conversation with David about the movie this morning."

Video: Beckham gives Anderson Cooper "tattoo tour"
We all know David Beckham's first two passions (soccer and family), but as the superstar tells Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes this Sunday, the guy is also obsessed with his ink.
"I think everybody's got a way of expressing their feelings, and mine is through my tattoos," Beckham says of his 15 body tattoos. He also shows Cooper the likenesses of wife Victoria Beckham (on his left arm) and the three cherubs on his right arm (for sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz).

A-List Secrets: Yes, Stars Really Love Themselves
Certainly not. Kanye West just likes to refer to himself as the new Kurt Cobain and "one of the more important people in pop culture" to see if you're listening. He really hates himself and thinks he's fat and wears those candy-colored polo shirts to punish himself.
Of course celebrities think they're better than everybody else. And before you decide that's just an opinion, I've got real proof. Read on.
Celebrities are narcissists, and that's backed up by science and doctors and everything.

Anderson Cooper Calls The Lohan Family "Horrific"
News anchor Anderson Cooper makes one thing clear: the Lohans are "horrific" people. Filling in for Regis Philbin on Tuesday, he has candidly talked about the "atrocious" E! reality show. The 41-year-old broadcaster was in the set of "Live with Regis and Kelly" and was conversing with host Kelly Ripa about reality shows. After doing an impersonation of a current "Project Runway" contestant, Cooper then focused on discussing the "worst show" he can't watch. Although admitting to watching "Living Lohan" 4 or
Anderson Cooper Has 'Spot' of Skin Cancer Removed
Anderson Cooper is dealing with a dermatological health issue, the journalist explains on his CNN blog.
After recounting his experience on the campaign trail with Sen. Barack Obama, Cooper, 40, writes, "On a personal note, I've been off for the last couple of days. I had minor surgery on Monday. A small spot of skin cancer was removed from under my left eye."
The setback will not keep Cooper off-camera, he says.
"I hadn't planned on mentioning this, but I still have stitches and you'll no doubt
OK! Exclusive: Dina Lohan Fires Back at Anderson Cooper
It almost goes without saying that the Lohan family takes a fair amount of criticism in the media, most of which the family pubicly ignores.
But when CNN's Anderson Cooper went on a rant on this morning's Live with Regis & Kelly, the clan's matriarch, Dina Lohan felt the need to reply.
During his guest-hosting appearance on the talk show, Anderson launched an anti-Lohan tirade that included the following gem about little sister Ali Lohan:
"Allegedly a 14-year-old girl, looks to be about 60... I sa
Charlize and Eva Show Their DNC Support in Denver
The Democratic National Convention rolled on last night with another rousing series of speeches, including from Hilary Clinton, and more stars arriving in Denver. Charlize Theron, a new US citizen and voter, was out with Stuart at a screening of their movie Battle in Seattle. Meanwhile, Eva stopped off to check in with the MySpace computer station. Naturally Anderson Cooper was there to cover the event, but what can I say, I'll take any excuse to post him. The same goes for Kal Penn, my recent fair game foe
Ali Lohan Hurt by Anderson Cooper Rip, Dad Says
Ali Lohan was "very hurt" by CNN newsman Anderson Cooper calling her a 14-year-old who "looks to be about 60" and suggesting she wants to be "a strip-tease person," father Michael Lohan told TVGuide.com.
"I don't know what it's about. I don't know how he can sit in a position like he is, judging someone else," Michael Lohan said Thursday. "I'm surprised that he lowered himself to pick on a child and act like a child himself."
"She took it very personally," he added. "She's a 14-year-old kid.... And to
Ali Lohan Somehow Got On The Cover Of Something
Has anyone heard of Supermodels Unlimited magazine? Ali Lohan's on the cover.
Is this printed in Nana Lohan's basement? First off, I wasn't aware
that Ali is a supermodel. Sure, she's walked the sidewalks of a Long
Island and been called a "striptease person" by Anderson Cooper. But is that what really makes a supermodel these days? Someone's lowered the bar, then.
Ali's featured in a variety of outfits and bad camera angles. You know her berserker mom Dina Lohan
put her ass up to this. "Ali's it's a GREAT

MSNBC Pulls "Inappropriate" Michelle Obama "Hardball" Ad Depicting Silhouetted Female Dancers

Michelle Obama to be a guest host on `The View'
Michelle Obama will be a guest host on "The View" on June 18. The popular ABC daytime talk show had invited her to be a guest this month, but she sent back word that she would like to be a host like Cindy McCain did in April, said Bill Geddie, the show's executive producer.

Jill Biden Is Missing Something
Mr. Obama has chosen Mr. Biden as his main homey. Obama/Biden '08! We'll just call them BamBi! I like BamBi! They can call me Thumper! BamBi '08!!!
Anyway, when I first read that Mr. Biden was in, I immediately googled his wife! That's all I really care about. Michelle Obama is lovely, but I want some over-the-top glamour in the White House! Unfortunately, I'm not getting that from Jill Tracy Biden, Joe's wife. She needs a Shauna Sand makeover. Nothing says "wife of the vice president" like a pair of exqui
