BARENAKED GETS BUSTED

Barenaked Ladies lead singer Steven Page was arrested in New York City on Friday morning for alleged possession of cocaine. He was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and was released on 10 thousand dollars bail. Police say officers were investigating a suspicious car with a door left open outside an apartment building when they noticed a man and a woman in an apartment with a "white capsule" in front of them. The 25-year-old woman, STEPHANIE FORD, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana. A Barenaked Ladies rep said, quote, "We cannot comment because the matter is before the courts but we are confident that our client Steven will be completely exonerated. Until that time it's business as usual for the Barenaked Ladies."

SHOULD CONNOR FLY?

The big debate today is that Tom Cruise is letting his 13-year-old son, Connor, do tricks on his motorcycle and take flying lessons at Tom’s airplane hangar in California. Connor was given a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. Is this legal?? Sources say yes…as long as you are big enough to operate all the controls (reach the pedals, etc.) and have passed all required student exams. However, according to the Federal Aviation Administration's website, Connor can't get a pilot's license until he is 16. So 3 more years until you can fly away from your crazy father!

KIMMEL/SILVERMAN SPLIT

No one saw this coming, but Jimmy Kimmel and his girlfriend of 5 years Sarah Silverman have called it quits. Their spokeswoman said it was mutual but she works for both of them, so what else is she going to say?

WILL IZZIE BE "ELIMINATED"?

Remember when we said that Katherine Heigl from Grey’s Anatomy removed herself from Emmy consideration because she didn’t think she had been given “good material to work with”? Well – the creator of the show Shonda Rhimes is now considering KILLING Izzie’s character off the show. Take THAT! Suddenly Katherine is backpedaling saying the whole thing was taken out of context.

PS – Tonight you can watch Canadian Idol- Go IAN, Benjamin Bratt’s new show on A&E called The Cleaner…or the ALL Star Game at Yankee Stadium (Madonna is rumored to be in the crowd)!

Matthew Picks a Name

As you know, MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY finally got around to naming his baby..."LEVI". Before you think jeans though - it's actually from the bible. Matthew says his son was born Monday night at 6:22, and those numbers represent his favorite verse in the book of Matthew in the Bible. The verse reads: "If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light." Awwww, who knew he was this deep?

We'll Sell...If YOU STOP!

NO Brangelina's twins haven't arrived yet. But when they do - - they're expecting the first pictures will fetch at least 16 million dollars!!! According to TMZ though - the only way Brangelina will sell, is if the media stops calling Brangelina...the ridiculous merged nickname...Brangelina. (PS- that money is apparently ALL going to charity).
