Being honored for her trendsetting ways, Beyonce Knowles was spotted out on Wednesday night (November 19) for a Seventeen shindig at the Hearst Tower in New York City.
Posing alongside Seventeen Editor Jane Jameson and Editor in Chief Ann Shokethe, the “If I Were A Boy” singer was on-hand as the magazine unveiled Knowles as their 2008 Style Star of the Year.
About three weeks ago William Shatner did a viral video saying that George Takei did not invite him to his wedding, and said he did not know him well at all. Then he went on to say that Takei would speak badly about him and said he had some psychosis. Then George Takei went to Entertainment Tonight and said he did invite him to his wedding and they have tried to reach out to make peace with him several times. Well today Shatner posted a new message saying he wants peace and said once again that he was not invited to the wedding.
I don’t know about you, but I almost don’t want these two people who have worked on the same project for 40 years to make up because these videos are fun!

I guess you can say that is Joaquin Phoenix’s way of confirming that he is retiring from acting. There was a point in his career when I thought that would be a bad thing because he had so much talent, but now he is just so weird. As you can see from his acceptance speech from this year’s People’s Choice Awards where he spelled his own name wrong.
BYE! GOOD Joaqin…
William Shatner responded to J.J. Abrams’ explanation why the original Captain Kirk is not in the new Star Trek. I believe Shatner on this one. Star Trek takes place in the future and you are going to tell me they can’t figure out how to resurrect someone by then?
Personally I don’t think you can have Star Trek movie with Spock and not Captain Kirk too, but that is just me.

Star Jones is in love! With food that is, but she’s masking it well with her new chef boyfriend.
“This was one of the first times they were out in public together,” a friend of Jones’ tells PEOPLE, after the couple were spotted kissing in the stands at the U.S. Open last weekend. “It’s a new relationship, and he makes her very happy.”
Yeah, well if i was a fat woman trapped in…well the swamp thing’s body, I’d be very happy too. You know how when you work in places that have certain smells, they always seem to rub off on you? Well because of that, it will only be a short while until he turns up missing, and she’ll be on television licking her fingers telling us it was fun (and delicious) while it lasted. To the lucky man, I have to say, “GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN.”

She may be young, but she’s quickly becoming a seasoned pro when it comes to making celebrity appearances. And Selena Gomez was spotted glamming up the ABC All-Star Party last night.
The Disney sweetheart is already showing signs that she’s an up-and-coming fashionista, as evidenced by her fabulous black-with-gold-accents dress and black peep-toe heels.
Will Smith opens up to Now about the secret to his happy marriage , and open is the key word.
‘Our perspective is, you don’t avoid what’s natural and you’re going to be attracted to people,’ Will explains.‘So sometimes we have the discussion: “Wow, this or that girl is freaking gorgeous”. I’m not going to say anything to my buddies that’s any different than what I say to my wife.’
And Will, 39, reckons he'll tell Jada - and she'll tell him - if they ever feel the need to have sex with others.
Each will say: 'I’m not going to do it if you don’t approve of it,’ he says.
But Will's not sure what he'd do if one day Jada, 38, confides that she does want to take a lover.
‘I don’t know how I’d feel,’ he confesses. ‘But I know I would react better than if I found out about it afterwards.’
Dang, I wonder if these two have been watching Swingtown for ideas. And if their BFFs Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have offered to swing with them.

Holy shit!!!!! This is sooooo amazing.
Al Reynolds has started his own YouTube Channel, and he's dishing on his ex-wife.
Star Jones is about to have an aneurysm!
The former investment banker hired a crew to shoot him professionally and an interviewer to probe him - deeply.
Amongst the things he wants us to know:
- He's not gay.
- He just prides himself on his appearance.
- He and Star are not on speaking terms.
- The two started out as best girlfriends and he hopes they can be friends again one day.
- He's talking now to separate the truth from the rumors.
- There was a pre-nup.
- He doesn't regret his wedding.
- Star was the one in control of all the corporate sponsorships, which created a lot of controversy at the time.
And much much more!

When the going gets tough, the tough throw a party! At least that’s what Alex Rodriguez did last night, as part of the 2008 Major League Baseball All-Star Week.
A-Rod rocked out at his very own shindig at New York City’s swanky 40/40 Club. And he looked slick in a baby blue button-up shirt a pair of belted designer jeans as he posed for the paparazzi with Ingrid Casares.
As far as sexy actresses go, Megan Fox ranks at the top of the list. And she was looking as hot as ever at the Fox All-Star Party at the Pier in Santa Monica, California last night (July 14).
The “Transformers” babe worked the crowd like a seasoned pro, sporting a simple-yet-sexy ensemble including a tight midriff-baring white t-shirt, form-fitting jeans and a pair of platform heels.
There’s nothing worse than getting snubbed by an industry you helped create. And Cheeta the Chimpanzee is mounting his eighth attempt at being recognized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The 76-year-old primate is said to have outlived contemporaries, battled addiction, and even made it into the record books throughout the duration of his long-standing career.

The first legal same-sex celebrity marriage in California gets a date!!! George Takei and his partner of over 21 years, Brad Altman have set the date of September 24th to legally tie the knot at the Japanese American National Museum according to People! Takei will beam up some of his Star Trek buddies to be part of the ceremony, the best man is Walter Koenig, who played Chekov, Nichelle Nichols is the matron of honor and Leonard Nimoy is on the guest list.
BTW he also told People the sweet story how he got engaged!
"We knew that the (California State) Supreme Court was going to be coming down with their ruling" legalizing gay marriage, Takei said. "(We'd heard) that it was probably going to be positive. So I was planning on asking Brad to get married.
"We were at home in the kitchen and we had the TV going, and when the word came down suddenly Brad got on his knees in front of me," Takei continued. "And I said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'George, will you marry me?' I said 'Yes. You beat me to it. I meant to ask you.'"
Takei had something less impromptu in mind: "I wanted to have it happen in a bit more dignified way." But he's "ecstatic" to be getting married, nevertheless, he said.
Mazel tov to George and Brad and to all the same-sex couples throughout California who can legally get married now!

It seems that Amy Winehouse loves her fans so much that she allows them to come to her door for autographs. And yesterday she hooked some youngsters up with a photo op.
The troubled singer was spotted outside her Camden, London home posing for pictures with some children and signing a basketball. And it looks like she may be turning to religion in her times of trial.

Will they just let anyone into the premiere of Indy 4 at Cannes?
Well, whatever her celeb status may be, Star was lookin' pretty good post-breakup in this sparkly beaded gown!
Not good enough to get to go to the premiere, but still, ya gotta give credit where credit is due.

Star Jones for some reason was at the Indiana Jones premiere in Cannes on Sunday.
Why she was at Cannes is a mystery but she’s looking pretty good these says! Exercise, diet or perhaps the gastric bypass are working well.
Meanwhile Big Al is reportedly shopping a tell-all interview to the highest bidder about his time spent married with Jones.
.
Al is ready to talk about his split from Star but he wants to get paid bigtime. The NY Daily News is reporting that he’s shopping around his first TV interview to the highest bidder.
A source said, “He has got to make a buck somehow. He’s been looking for a six-figure deal for an interview where he dishes about being married to Star.”
Six-figures?! Good luck with that. Are you curious to hear what Big Al has to say?

Marriage Equality Comes to California
By George TakeiOur California dream is reality. Brad Altman and I can now marry. We are overjoyed! At long last, the barrier to full marriage rights for same-sex couples has been torn down. We are equal with all citizens of our state!
The California Supreme Court has ruled that all Californians have a fundamental right to marry the person he or she loves. Brad and I have shared our lives together for over 21 years. We've worked in partnership; he manages the business side of my career and I do the performing. We've traveled the world together from Europe to Asia to Australia. We've shared the good times as well as struggled through the bad. He helped me care for my ailing mother who lived with us for the last years of her life. He is my love and I can't imagine life without him. Now, we can have the dignity, as well as all the responsibilities, of marriage. We embrace it all heartily.
The California Supreme Court further ruled that our Constitution provides for equal protection for all and that it cannot have marriage for one group and another form - domestic partnership - for another group. No more "separate but equal." No more second-class citizenship. Brad and I are going to be married as full citizens of our state.
George Takei is the second celebrity since the California Supreme Court overturned the ban on same-sex marriages to announce they are marrying their partner. He added on his blog that they are planning the wedding now!
So now that Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi, and George and Brad have announce their upcoming nuptials who do you think will be next? Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels? Jimmy Kimmel and Ben Affleck?
Congrats to them all!!!

Star Jones (or a really good drag queen) attended the premiere of Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.
Why the fuck was she there??????????
Next time, she should get some colonic irrigation before she walks down a red carpet.
Then her face won't look like she needs to take a big dump (all over Big Gay Al's head)!

Star Jones is so desperate for work that she's resorted to THIS!
William Shatner, the Star Trek actor who has some sort of strange voice modulation disease, rambled to Page Six last night about a gay panic he experienced as a newbie to New York: "We're in the audience, I'm a young hot-blooded Canadian and out come the dancing girls, a plethora of women - and I feel his hand brush my knee. I thought, well, it's an accident, then I felt it again. What the [bleep]? I got up and ran out." How horrible that must have been for him. Fitting that he ended up on Star Trek which has been a strangely free of gay topics in its many and varied incarnations. Though, myriad ways have been found to gay Shatner (and the show) up a bit. Like in (albeit pretty dumb) YouTube music clip mash-ups, like the one above, and in particularly horrifying slash fiction (a section of which you can find after the jump). Final frontier indeed.
For one shocked moment, Jim could see no external genitalia at all—only dense black hair. Then Spock took his hand, guiding it to where the testes would be in a human male, and Jim felt the soft pressure of the sac descending against his palm."During moments of stress or environmental extremes the organs are drawn up almost entirely into the body," Spock said. "With practice, the response can also be initiated intentionally. The process of reversal is less easily controlled, however." He hesitated. "Any degree of tension tends to prolong the retraction of the phallus."
He moved Jim's hand up ten centimeters or so. Jim could just make out a dimpled area under the hair, and behind that, a firm mass. He massaged the place gently, feeling it move under the skin. Spock's fingers, where they still rested against the back of his hand, tensed and Jim stopped, unable to tell whether the stroking was pleasant or not.
From "Patterns".
Ha! I love this! Earlier in the week, Barbara Walters was on Oprah talking about her new book. During the interview, Barbara confirmed what we all pretty much knew, and that is how much Star Jones annoyed the piss out of all the other ladies.
Star responded by saying that Barbara was old ("in the sunset of her life") and a hoochie-mama ("publicly branding herself as an adulterer") and we realize that we've already covered this territory, but we liked it so much, we decided to say it twice.
Meanwhile, Barbara's now opting to leave well enough alone (at least until her next book comes out) and her rep told the New York Daily News, "She will not dignify this with a response." The rep also added, "Barbara's written words say it all." Ooh, I hope there are pictures to go along with those words.
Meanwhile, you know that as Star sat down by her little lawyah's desk and put on her smart glasses to formulate her response, all she could think was how happy she was that this feud had the potential to completely distract from her awkward divorce.

Barbara Walters has been doing the publicity rounds for her new book Audition, a memoir of her career. In the book Barbara talks about a little fib she had to tell every day on the set of “The View.” Everyone knows Star Jones had gastric bypass surgery, but Star insisted the truth be spun to “she lost the weight from “portion control and pilates”.”
Barbara told Oprah yesterday that Star became so obese that she could barely walk on to the set anymore.
Barbara said, “She decided to have a gastric bypass operation, but then she decided not to tell anybody. Then we had to lie on the set everyday because she said it was portion control and Pilates. Well, we knew it wasn’t portion control and Pilates.”
At one stage Star was going to go on 20/20 with Barbara to discuss the gastric bypass surgery but then backed off wanting to maintain the exercise and dieting story.
Barbara also claimed that Star “wanted the biggest extravaganza wedding — she wanted to be a princess” and that she wanted to promote her wedding to get things paid for. The NY Post ended up nicknaming Star bridezilla for her behavior as her wedding to Al Reynolds approached. Needless to say Star was stung by Barbara’s comments and responded.
Star told UsWeekly, “It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character.”
Sunset of her life?! Snap!

RealGM is reporting perhaps the biggest lie of this century.
Dwyane Wade is reportedly dating Star Jones, a former co-host of The View, who recently filed for divorce.
It was announced last September that Wade and his wife Siovaughn were also divorcing.
Jones is 20 years older than the Miami Heat guard.
I AM SORRY. There is no way Dwayne Wade would be seen with THIS BEAST on his arm:

Dwayne Wade can probably nail 20 year old college girls in Miami, but he’s going to waste his time with this 40 year old monster from beneath the sea? It’s very apparent Star Jones’ people planted this lie. If I were Dwayne, I would sue this bitch for everything she had. Too bad her bank account is probably filled with Jenny Craig coupons.

After three-and-a-half years of marriage, Star Jones has filed for divorce from her husband Al Reynolds.
The former co-host of The View said in a statement released to Entertainment Tonight: “Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life.”

It's always sad when arrangements...er, relationships, come to an end. As much fun as these two had dressing up in their complementary outfits and swapping undergarments, the fun eventually had to come to an end. Their relationship was like a candle in the wind--confusing. Why would anyone put a candle in the wind?
In any case, Entertainment Tonight has confirmed that Jones filed for divorce from husband Al Reynolds back in March 26th of this year. Additionally, the former View host released a statement about her split.
"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."
By "wiser," I wonder if this means that next time, she'll be more hesitant to create an entire website dedicated to how amazing her relationship is. Sorry to be so cynical, but shit like that is just begging fate to fuck with you.
Here is the full video for the Sulu Dance!

Star Jones is back on the market! The National Enquirer claims Star kicked her husband Al Reynolds out of the house nearly a month ago. A friend of the couple’s told the mag:
“They hadn’t been seeing eye to eye for months and had already spent a great deal of time apart,” a friend of the couple told the Enquirer. “Finally, Star decided it was over. She told Al at the end of January that he had 30 days to get his act together or ‘get out.’ Al moved some of his things out of their Upper East Side apartment and returned to Miami, where he’d already been spending a lot of time recently.”
Another source added:
“Star is planning to divorce Al. I think Star felt Al had spent their marriage riding her success while she did all the heavy lifting. She resented it. Deep down, Star is a very old-fashioned woman who believes a man should support her emotionally, physically and financially. She now believes Al failed her.” (Source)
Who DIDN’T see this coming? You can’t say your vows looking like Jabba the Hut and then be surprised when your marriage doesn’t work out after you’ve turned into Gregory Hines! Al obviously likes a woman with a little junk in their trunk . . . and in Star’s case, it was a junkyard. Besides, narrow minded stereotypes have taught me that wives are supposed to gain weight when they put on their wedding ring, not lose it.
It lasted longer than most expected, but after three and half years Star Jones and Al Reynolds have split up.
Star reportedly filed for divorce a month ago.
A source tell the Enquirer, “They hadn’t been seeing eye to eye for months and had already spent a great deal of time apart. Finally, Star decided it was over. She told Al at the end of January that he had 30 days to get his act together or ‘get out. I think Star felt Al had spent their marriage riding her success while she did all the heavy lifting. She resented it. Deep down, Star is a very old-fashioned woman who believes a man should support her emotionally, physically and financially. She now believes Al failed her.”
Star’s publicist is, of course, denying the reports.
We hear Al’s boyfriend is elated. Heh.

The National Enquirer is reporting that Star Jones and Al Reynolds are on a path heading to divorce. After three and a half years of marriage, Star is reportedly disappointed with the union, and the two had grown distant these past few months. It was this past January that Star informed her husband that he had "30 days to get his act together or 'get out.'"
The last time they two were publicly seen together was on Feb. 1st at the Baby Phat fashion show in NYC, but things took a turn for the worse and Star had Al leave early. He had been spending increasingly more time in Miami and opted to move down there.
The reasoning behind the split is Star's frustration was with Al's inability to pull his own weight, says the tipster. "Deep down, Star is a very old-fashioned woman who believes a man should support her emotionally, physically and financially. She now believes Al failed her." Well, she did have some high expectations, when she assumed that they would consummate the union. That's a lot to ask of your gay husband.

Big Al Reynolds and Star Jones are calling it quits, or at least she has. Starting their union with a corporate sponsored wedding was one of the many ‘bad ideas’ about this marriage. There has also been this nasty little rumor that Al plays for the other team or was at least driven to it after marriage. Although the official party line is that Star resented that Al had spent their marriage riding her success while she did all the heavy lifting.
The National Enquirer is reporting Star gave Al 30 days to get his act together or it was over. Guess time was up.
“They hadn’t been seeing eye to eye for months and had already spent a great deal of time apart,” a friend of the couple told the Enquirer. “Finally, Star decided it was over. She told Al at the end of January that he had 30 days to get his act together or ‘get out.’”
The source continued, “Al moved some of his things out of their Upper East Side apartment and returned to Miami, where he’d already been spending a lot of time recently.”
The couple, have been married for over three years, and many have been anticipating a divorce announcement ever since, so you can file this under ‘not so shocking news.’

“The only reason I went to KFC was for the skin!”
Apparently Star Jones had a show on television. I’m not sure what station picked it up. I think you could only get it if you used a hanger covered in aluminum foil. Anyway, she got canned and she is no longer on TV. If it were up to me, I would have dropped her ass in the Everglades so she could join the rest of the frogs, but instead of her joining a group singing “Bud-Weis-Er,” she could go solo screaming “Haa-Gen Daz!”

Paramount announced that it was postponing Star Trek from this Christmas to May 8, 2009 according to Variety. I personally think that is such a huge mistake because there is so much buzz with this movie that I am not sure it can sustain for another 4 months of waiting. Hopefully they know what they are doing because I am really excited for this movie.

WENN asked William Shatner if he has seen himself in Star Trek and he said, "I never watched Star Trek and I have not even seen any of the Star Trek movies. I don't watch them myself. When I direct and have to look at filmed scenes of myself, I suck." He also added that he does have one regret with all the work he did as Captain Kirk, "I've kept nothing. Given the choice at the time of having a Star Trek suit or a designer suit, I'd have taken a suit. I should have known better."
I think Shatner needs to try to watch himself on Boston Legal because once he sees how good he is on that show he will learn that his acting doesn't suck.
Tru TV, formerly known as Court TV, has announced that they are halting production of Star Jones' daytime chat show. Star commentated on entertainment and law but neglected to address how to deal with marrying an obvious homosexual. That guy's gay. He's really gay. He's gayer that Bobby Trendy coming out of a pink-feathered vagina. Star's show will tape its last episode today. Tru TV says that Star's ass will continued to be employed as a correspondent for their In Session trial coverage. Translation: "until we phase her ass out". Dude, you know it wasn't easy dealing with her. Preaching, always trying to cadge free stuff, and grumping out over callers who want to know why her husband's all about home decor and David Beckham.

The Juno effect continues this morning. Yesterday Britney Spears' younger sister Jamie-Lynn (aka "the classy one") announced her pregnancy. Today Lily Allen, the diminutive and frank UK pop sensation (AKA "Amy Winehouse minus the heroin") announced she too is pregnant. Her baby daddy is one half of the Chemical Brothers, Ed Simons. One can only hope that this story, like the film, "follows the heroine...on a twisty path toward responsibility and greater self-understanding."

"Oh boy, my New Year's resolution? There are some that are hard to say in public, but I do have to stop picking my nose, especially in the car. I'll be driving and I will catch someone trying to take my picture."

In our line of work, we're used to seeing tall black bearded ladyboy hustlers with long legs, big smiles and a penchant for self-promotion. But even in this hurlyburly rough and tumble world of free booze, those stupid VIP bracelet things that are a bitch to remove and burly doormen, Andre J stood out. His smile was the most radiant, his legs the longest and his ability to sell himself unparalleled. The first time we saw him, he was on a corner in Soho. New York's Amy LaRocca was all up in his shit. That led to his appearance in the Look Book, then the Look Book book. But the last time we saw him, he was working the door at some Save Darfur benefit Lydia Hearst threw and also skipped. Imagine our pleasure when we saw his face in the Sunday Styles and we learned he had made it. It was indescribable!
It was a scorcher, writes Guy Trebay of the day in 2007 that Andre J went out for a sandwich and came back a star.
Andre J. was running out for a sandwich and who should he bump into but Joe McKenna, the stylist who is the secret weapon behind the success of many, many very celebrated designers? Mr. McKenna was on the phone at the time. The person on the other end was Bruce Weber, the celebrated photographer of, among other things, dreamily homoerotic calendar art for Abercrombie & Fitch.When Mr. McKenna spotted Andre J., he immediately put Mr. Weber on hold. Mr. McKenna then called out to Andre J., whom he had met before and had once suggested for a V magazine pictorial photographed by Vinoodh Matadin and Inez van Lamsweerde.One thing leads to another Andre J is on the cover of French Vogue, Style gay Guy Trebay falls in love, and plucked from chorus a star is born. Amaaaaaazing!"Andre," said Mr. McKenna, "you look amazing!"
ACTUALLY, he did not say it in quite that way. It happens that the adjective "amazing," pronounced with a bunch of superfluous vowels, is how fashion types, and also certain urban gay men and also one or two tuned-in heterosexual copycats, lately express their approval. Amazing has replaced such locutions as "genius" and "major," which today sound even more old-hat than "fabulous."
"You look amaaaaazing," Mr. McKenna said.
And, of course, Andre J. did.
