Country singer Carrie Underwood is going to marry real soon, according to source for The Awful Truth. She’s been engaged to hockey player Mike Fisher. Also, Megan Fox, who is not engaged, might marry on/off-again beau Brian Austin Green — he who had one of the least liked characters on the original 90210 TV series. E! Online says that someone close to the couple indicated that Brian had moved into the new 5-bdrm home Megan purchased in LA, and that they will get married. (I wonder how Brian puts up with the fact that Megan doesn’t like to cook or clean and has all these obsessive-compulsive quirks.) Now, there’s a bit more to the story. Before Megan came into his life, Brian was with another hottie, Vanessa Marcil (92010 and Las Vegas; pictured above), who mothered his child. Vanessa is now engaged to Carmine Giovinazzo (CSI:NY) but was once married Corey Feldman. (If I continue this line of thinking, Kevin Bacon will probably appear somewhere along the way, according to the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon concept.)

Singer Cheryl Cole, aka Cheryl Ann Tweedy, has filed for divorce from husband and soccer player Ashley Cole. Reason: “unreasonable behavior” of her estranged husband. I have no idea what that means (actually, it apparently means he was unfaithful) but she did once say that notorious celebrity meanie Simon Cowell was the most charismatic man she’s ever met (as per her IMDB profile). Just saying. She apparently wants a clean break and none of Ashley’s money. Just wondering if she’ll keep his last name, now that she’s had it for five years.

Oooops. Sarah Jessica Parker accidentally called husband Matthew Broderick average, while on David Letterman, then dug herself a deeper hole as she tried to explain that she was referring to his height, “not in personality, intellect, charisma, talent… Anyway he’s average in height as I understand, so the odds of our son being average in height and weight is perhaps promising.”

Radio/ television personality Art Linkletter, born Arthur Gordon Kelly in Moose Jaw, Canada, passed away yesterday at the age of 97. In addition to being appointed to President Richard Nixon’s national advisory council for drug abuse prevention (after one daughter’s suicide upon which he blames LSD), Linkletter was a talk-show pioneer, a motivational speaker and creator and/or host of several shows, including Kids Say the Darnedest Things (1998).

Sexpots and Crazy People – Hollywood Blog Blather, May 6, 2010

This is hilarious. Kim Kardashian is getting death threats from heartbroken Justin Bieber fans, after he jokingly tweeted on Twitter that she’s his girlfriend. But aren’t Babyface Bieber’s fans like 5 years old? Just tell’em to behave, turn out the lights and go to bed already. Sheesh, some people’s kids.

Poor poor Kendra Wilkinson. She’s been whining about her sex tape (yawn, hasn’t everyone but Betty White done a sex tape?), that it got released. But now it’s being revealed that she had intended to shop it around. So the issue isn’t that someone was going to release but that she herself lost control of the release. Look, Kendra, you’re attractive, like every other plastic doll that you look like, but sex tapes and reality shows aren’t that interesting anymore. You’d probably have more success in branding yourself if you got on Twitter and Facebook.

Is it true that crazy girls try harder in bed? At least, it seems to be true for Courtney Love. Says Love, “pretty girls just lie there. Us girls who grew up a little more homely have to try a lot harder.” Oh wait, she said homely, not crazy? Maybe in Courtney’s case, it’s both?

Speaking of crazy, remember how Joaquin Phoenix acted on the David Letterman show, announcing he was giving up acting to be a Hip Hop musician? He’s been acting Andy Kaufman- and Andy Dick-level weird since. Well it just so happens that Casey Affleck, Joaquin’s brother-in-law, is releasing his mockumentary film about this career change. I smell a stunt for the sake of the film, and we’ll likely see Joaquin back to “normal” after the film debuts, or maybe some time next year at the latest.

Other films about to be released include Super 8 from JJ Abrams, whose trailer will be airing with Iron Man 2, which starts Friday. More details from me after I see it, but Slashfilm does have a lot more about Super 8, including that it’s set circa 1979. The “spoiler” text in red reveals that it seems to be in the science fiction genre and involves some sort of creature. If it’s yet another movie shot on a handheld camera, I’m not interested. Cloverfield from Abrams was crappy enough and irritating thanks to camera jitter, not to mention static in POV (point of view).
