This was one of the best American Idol season finales ever! The excitement never stopped tonight. Whether it was the non-stop celebrity guest appearances or the Clay Aiken look alike being surprised by the super gayed up version of Clay. Seriously, what happened to Clay?

Looks like all those Prince rumors turned out to be true. The world's sexiest vegetarian came to plug some of his new tunes.

I was seriously waiting for either a Whitney Houston appearance or maybe a Stevie Wonder one but Prince, Meatloaf, Live, Dionne Warwick, Mary J and more made this finale one of the best ever!!!! Oh yeah, and America got it right! Go Taylor! You the man.

Remember she wrote the unusual poem on her site with this pretty pic a few days ago and then it vanished. Well, it's back. The only difference now is it ends with, **This is for everyone who thinks they know me. We hope Britney finds her way. We're happy that other moms have started to support her. Seems people are realizing Britney is trying hard and at least she is always with her kid unlike a lot of other celebrity mothers. New moms all make mistakes they are just not documented every step of the way.

To refresh your memory on the poem we hope she was writing to Kevin, read more

I had no idea Maggie was so.... tall. Or is it that Eva is really a lot more petite than I realized. Both of these ladies have upcoming movies with Nic Cage. Maggie was just promoting World Trade Center in Cannes and Eva is in Ghost Rider which just released a new trailer. You can check it out here. I'm usually a fan of the comic book movies but I'm not so sure about this one.

After the GQ nude pics and the various drunk photos of Christina, I don't believe for a second that she is trying to clean up her act. Her look certainly has not changed. She has her signature red lipstick and now has the same exact shade of red for her shirt and shoes so she matches perfectly. Too bad the shirt is so sheer you can see her fake boobs. So much for going classy Christina. I wonder what Mariah would say now.

Lots more of Christina and her faithful husband Jordie leaving The Ivy where she knew she would be photographed so that is the only reason why I am surprised she let herself get so sloshed, read more

I'm guessing that peace sign is not meant for Brandon Davis and Paris Hilton. Lindsay Lohan was at the GQ Celebrity Poker event where she stocked up on Calvin Klein goodies. Meanwhile some reporter has the nerve to ask LL if she saw the Brandon Davis video. click here to watch Lindsay ignore her while coming and going form Shag on Monday night.

A bunch more pics of LL doing her thing so read more

I don't know why they even bother calling this movie X-Men. It is clearly all about the hot women like Halle, Rebecca and Famke who make the movie more interesting. OK, well maybe the men are a big part of the story, but the red carpet sure looks a lot hotter with these sexy Superheros. So far summer movie weekends are on a role. Looking forward to X-Men this weekend and then even more excited for The Break Up the following weekend. Love summer movie time!!!

Rebecca recently admitted to being upset for the tabloids calling her fat. She said, "I was focusing on my personal life for the first time in years and really enjoying myself. But getting attention from the tabloids for my 'relaxation period' was awful and confusing. I'd never felt better emotionally and physically, and yet I was being told I was fat!" All I know is I saw her on Pepper Dennis last night in a bathing suit and Rebecca looked insanely amazing.

A lot more pictures from Cannes including the one of the cutest pics of Rebecca and Jerry O'Connell that I have ever seen. I wonder where Halle's boy toy was. I guess he is not worthy of the red carpet yet. Lots more so read more

Gwyneth can bring in over $55,000 for a charity yoga lesson, but an afternoon tea date with Ashley Olsen will only cost you $5,000. The NY Sun reports, "Earlier this month, an afternoon tea with actress Ashley Olsen went for $5,000 at the annual benefit for P.S. 87 on the Upper West Side." What a steal.

I don't know why, but I love watching these girls. I did not find them all that cute on Full House but watching grow up has just been fascinating. To see more pics from the 7th Annual Free Arts NYC Art + Photography Benefit Auction, read more
