Who can guess who is out running some errands at the pharmacy? Here's your hint... we were thinking this newly single lady got engaged again quite quickly at Fashion Rocks, but it all turned out to be a big rumor.

Gotta Love Grey's!

Congrats to Grey's Anatomy for taking the top spot and beating out CSI last night.

Congrats to Grey's Anatomy for taking the top spot and beating out CSI last night. Looks like Must See TV is headed to ABC! We could not wait for this season to start and the only complaint we have about the show is how they market it. How can the promos say this is where you go to feel good. I never feel good after watching Grey's. I always cry. No matter what.

Sting has no Love for Beyonce

Many people are loving Beyonce's new album, but there is one very famous artist who is not a fan.

Many people are loving Beyonce's new album, but there is one very famous artist who is not a fan. Sting is totally bashing Beyonce and Justin for making music that is too commercial. He says that artists should be driven by spiritual experiences, not record sales. Here's more:

"Today's music is not designed for me. I don't understand a Beyonce or Justin Timberlake. For me, singing is a spiritual journey. I'm devoutly musical. As for my voice, I'd say it's become more mature. Encrypted with life, it's developed texture. This particular album I made in our home in Tuscany. I don't work in any thematically soundproofed room. I like ambient noises - fire crackling, birds singing, church bells. It's organic."

Funny Sting should pick Beyonce and JT out of the crowd. These are two artists who are trying to sound different these days and the result has been killer record sales. Check out Beyonce at the Armani show for London Fashion Week. Lots more pics so read more

Fall TV Preview: Brothers & Sisters

The highly anticipated drama, Brothers & Sisters premieres Sunday September 24th at 10/9c on ABC.

The highly anticipated drama, Brothers & Sisters premieres Sunday September 24th at 10/9c on ABC. The all-star cast aside for a moment, the real reason for all of the anticipation may be because of the real-life drama surrounding the show since the pilot was first shown to advertisers last May. The drama includes the firing of actress Betty Buckley who was originally cast as the matriarch of the Walker family and replacing her with television and movie veteran, Sally Field. This casting change as well as some other major plot changes necessitated re-filming almost the entire pilot this summer.

All the drama aside, the show, which tells the story of adult siblings living their respective lives in the shadow of their seemingly perfect parents, has an intriguing and original premise. This premise paired with the phenomenal cast makes it hard to imagine this show will fail. Notable cast members include Calista Flockhart in her first series since Ally McBeal as conservative talk show host, Kitty Walker. Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under) plays Sarah Walker, the high-powered executive who has just begun to work for the Walker Family business. Hottie Balthazar Getty (Alias) plays the younger brother who is being overshadowed by his older sister at work. Ron Rifkin (Alias) plays Saul Holden, Nora Holden's brother who is also a partner in the family business. And finally, Tom Skerritt plays William Walker the patriarch of the family, who as it turns out may not be as perfect as he would have his children believe.

The pilot we saw was the original and we enjoyed it very much. If the re-shot version is even better, we think this show definitely has staying power. The real question is, can we have two favorite shows with skinny whiny blonds and right now Grey's is #1 there.

Gwyneth's Party Plans

Gwyneth and her cute little baby boy Moses aren't so camera shy today. We're happy Mommy didn't cover up her little man's face again. Gwyneth continues to glow after giving birth just 5 months ago - it must be those prenatal vitamins she raves about. Gwyneth will be celebrating her 34th birthday next week in London after spending quite a bit of time in LA this week. Her plan is to attend a Jay-Z concert at The Royal Albert Hall.

Lindsay & Harry Split

No wonder LL is into rehab these days.

No wonder LL is into rehab these days. Poor girl just got dumped by her rich sober good influence boyfriend, Harry Morton. Guess the engagement ring is going back. People reports:

"Harry broke up with Lindsay yesterday at Chateau Marmont after they had dinner on the courtyard patio," a source tells PEOPLE. "Nothing happened at dinner, but shortly afterward, he broke up with her."

Why the split? "She was too much drama," says the source. "Lindsay did cut down on the partying, but with her it's all relative. Harry is sober. It wasn't the partying that broke them up. She's young and a little bit immature. Harry's more low-key and not into the same stuff she's into."

However, a source close to Lohan says, "No one 'dumped' anyone. You don't dump people when you're 20 and 25. You have a mature relationship, and you take a break and you see what happens. Everyone does that."

Tara's Not So Successful Turnaround

Tara supposedly downsized her implants and was hoping for a big comeback, but it's not looking like that will happen anytime soon.

Tara supposedly downsized her implants and was hoping for a big comeback, but it's not looking like that will happen anytime soon. Her latest film, Incubus, is skipping theaters and going straight to DVD. Poor Tara... not even new boobs and maybe a little liposuction will turn around her crappy career. Maybe she should have realized we liked her the way she was back as the cute girl in American Pie.

Looks like Tara could buy a brush as well. The extensions help her look a little spicier but it just comes off as trashy Tara - even thought that is probably the look she is going for. For more pics of Tara strutting her stuff at the Vintage LA fashion show, read more

Christina, Carmen and Kristen Bell are just 3 of the stars featured in US Weekly's Hot Hollywood Fresh 15 issue. The ladies all came out to celebrate the issue in style last night. Christina was the lady in red, and all the other girls were looking fabulous too on the blue carpet. Christina spoke a bit about her man and her baby plans for the Hot Hollywood issue. She said,

Her baby-making plans:
"I don’t like to think in terms of numbers, but I would like to have a few. I want to keep it spontaneous. But a boy and a girl would be nice. We have to get through the next year and a half, and then see what happens.”

Her love for her husband, Jordan Bratman
"Everyone should be so lucky to have that one person who lets you go to that heavy space and comforts you, and he is that person. He takes me out of my heavy places and saves me from myself.”
