AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Wait…

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!

I love it when celebrities go to the dogs. Too bad you couldn’t do it as gracefully as Marlon Brando. Well, at least you can tell the London twins apart … now Jeremy is the chubby one without talent. But hey, maybe he’s filiming a “Mallrats” sequel … in which he works and eats at the nacho stand.

Now there’s nothing wrong with being fat … it’s just funny when supposedly good looking celebrities do it and you realize they look like a cross between a chipmunk and a pederast.

Or maybe he hasn’t been packing it in at all – maybe he and his brother have just awkwardly melded back into one patchwork being.

After filming in Malibu for Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (due out in May ‘07) Johnny spent some time with his adoring fans signing autographs. Sporting Captain Sparrow’s twin-braided beard, along with a pirate-themed t-shirt, Depp was looking somewhat like a modern-day pirate might. He took time to sign several autographs before heading out in an SUV amidst a horde of screaming girls, waving all the way.

I’ve always perceived Johnny Depp as dark and moody, and a bit of a recluse. It’s good to see him playing to the crowd and looking happy and relaxed. The guy’s got lots to be happy about, what with the success of his Jack Sparrow role and his re-kindled sex-symbol status. Whether you’re a Johnny fan or not (and who isn’t?) he’s definitely doing something right because at 43 years old he’s attracting more ‘screaming girls’ than ever before.

We all know that the press touches up photos, airbrushes them, and makes stars look a little better than their best. It’s always in the back of our minds but we don’t really think about it.

Well, unless the original photos get pointed out and compared side by side to the altered ones. And that’s exactly what happened to a photo of Katie Couric this week.

These are the original photo and the photo that went to print of Katie Couric for a network promotional magazine. More about the network’s and Katie’s reactions can be found at MSNBC.

The official explanation is that someone in their photo department got a little “overzealous”. I’m sure they meant well but this whole thing only ended up making real-life Katie like a bad “before the makeover” shot.

Taylor Hicks, winner of last season’s American Idol has agreed to settle a lawsuit he’s filed against a Nashville producer who apparently sold his songs he’d recorded prior to his American Idol victory.

Court documents filed Tuesday in a federal court explain Hicks now owns all the rights to the master recordings of his songs, which have been for sale on iTunes recently.

In exchange for the ownership rights, Hicks agreed with producer William Smith not to pursue any further legal action against him.
