THE WEEK IN REVIEW...

Well…this week brought us another Bachelor breakup. Jake and Vienna broke up…on the telephone. Some say she was smothering, while others say she’s dating Gregory Michael from the show Greek. The best part? He has to give the $50,000 diamond ring back to the prop department of ABC!!

Drake reportedly has a thing for Snooki…did you hear? They were canoodling backstage at the MMVA’s Sunday night (which btw goes down in history as the most-watched broadcast of any program ever on MuchMusic), he was flirting, holding her hand and trying to get her to come to his after party…BUT when she showed up, she was denied entry. When he found out, he was LIVID.

Madonna is doing a little home renos this week, adding an entire FLOOR to her new 32-million-dollar townhouse in Manhattan. She’s adding a gym, hair salon, separate closet just for luggage, wine cellar, 10 more bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. Price tag? 2 million dollars.

Justin Bieber set out on his first headlining tour this week, get ready for September 19th, cuz he’s rolling into Rexall with 11 buses and 9 trucks carrying 64,000 lbs of equipment, 10 disco balls and one million pieces of confetti (per show).

I think Lady Gaga has gone too far. She’s reached out to a man named Gunther Von Hagens, the guy who invented a method for preserving cadavers. Yah, she wants to use dead bodies as props on stage. PS – she’s coming to Rexall August 26th and 27th…enjoy that!

Ok, I will leave you with this. Robert Pattinson is a real vampire. Ok, well we just found out that he’s a distant relative to Prince Vlad Dracul…aka Vlad the Impaler….aka the inspiration for Dracula. This is too much, I KNEW IT!

4 Alum from Saturday Night Live plus their best friend Kevin James have a movie in theatres today…GROWN UPS. Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider. It looks SO funny.

PS - Before you go out and enjoy the sunshine this weekend, take a moment to remember Michael Jackson, can you BELIEVE it's been a YEAR already!

MOMMA LOHAN IS GRASPING FOR STRAWS

Now this is just getting ridiculous, so I’ll be brief. Lindsay Lohan’s mother Dina is trying to tell the press that the REASON Lindsay’s alcohol monitoring bracelet went off at the MTV Movie Awards after party was because, someone spilled a drink on her leg. Ummm, the alcohol doesn’t get absorbed through the skin Dina…pretty sure she spilled the drink down her throat. Unreal.

KEVIN COSTNER SOLVES THE PROBLEM!

Kevin Costner…member him? Well, he appeared before a senate panel yesterday to address the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, to present a partial solution. He said his business venture, Ocean Therapy Solutions, has a machine that can filter oil from water. He believes that this machine, made over 12 years ago with all the care and science and money that he could throw at it is one major solve in this giant puzzle that will get people back to work.

IS "LES" MORE?

If you liked Tom Cruise as the obnoxious Les Grossman in the movie Tropic Thunder- settle in, cuz he’s getting his own movie. He’s going to co-produce it with Ben Stiller…no word when filming will begin but Tom is promising GOLD. Do we want a whole movie?

LINDSAY'S ARREST WARRANT

Lindsay’s partying just cost her $200,000. When she was at an MTV Movie Awards after party, her SCRAM ankle bracelet started going off. This alerted the cops, then the judge issued a bench warrant for her arrest. Someone paid her bail though, so she’s free – for now. HER court date is July 6th.

CHARLIE'S COURT CASE SNAG

The reason for the Charlie Sheen “not yet going to jail” snag- is because of smoking. According to the Aspen Times, Charlie didn’t realize he wasn’t allowed to smoke during his sentence (*ie during the day when he works at the Aspen Theatre). A source tells the newspaper, "The whole thing hinged on his ability to smoke." Again, July 12th -new hearing.

MILEY THE NEW ADAM LAMBERT?

Miley is following in the footsteps of Britney and now Adam Lambert. She’s causing QUITE the stir because the other night when she was on Britain’s Got Talent, she made out with one of her FEMALE dancers on stage. Ok – she’s now saying, it was TOTALLY nothing, “I promise you, I did not kiss her, and it is ridiculous that two entertainers can't even rock out with each other without the media making it some type of story”. Ok- is it just me or is Miss Disney trying a LITTLE too hard??

EVERYONE LOVES THE BIEB!

Justin Bieber is not only popular with teenage girls, he has a fanatic following with lesbians who dress and sound just like him – they call themselves Biebians…and don’t laugh, there are several websites cropping up, completely devoted to the Bieb…and they are even starting to have Bieber nights at gay bars, Hollywood’s most popular right now is the hot spot, The Abbey.

THE END OF AN ERA

LAWRENCE, told People that the actress died at 1:00 a.m. Thursday morning after suffering a massive stroke. Lawrence said that McClanahan had her "family with her" when she passed away.

McClanahan, who played man-crazed Southern belle Blanche Deveraux on The Golden Girls, is the third star from that hit '80s sitcom to pass away in the last few years. BEA ARTHUR died last year, and ESTELLE GETTY died in 2008. BETTY WHITE is now the only one of the four original cast members still with us. White said in a statement to multiple media outlets, "Rue was a close and dear friend. I treasure our relationship. It hurts more than I ever thought it would, if that’s even possible." Golden Girls ran on NBC from 1985 to 1992, and lives on in syndication.

McClanahan first gained notoriety by appearing on the soap opera Another World. In the seventies, she appeared in Maude, opposite her future Golden Girls co-star Bea Arthur, playing Maude's best friend, Vivian Cavender Harmon. She also portrayed Fran Crowley on Mama's Family before joining the cast of The Golden Girls. She won an Emmy Award for her performance on The Golden Girls in 1987 and also appeared in the spinoff series, Golden Palace.

McClanahan underwent heart bypass surgery last year. She also received treatment for breast cancer in 1997.
