Getting all caught up.

I'm going to sum up all of the latest juicy news in this entry, so bear with me.

Let's start off by commenting on Laguna Beach. I think Talan Torriero lost about a third of his fans following this past Monday's episode. What do you think? Jason, Jessica and Jeff laughing their asses off at him didn't help either. Too bad. That pretty face had so much potential ...

I've been doing a bit of thinking about Season Three. Screw Kristin and Stephen. All we really need is J. Wahl and some booze. Throw in a little Jessica Smith or Lauren Conrad and things could get pretty. But, really, any female would do.

Rumor has it that Laguna's Kristin Cavallari has broken it off with Brody Jenner and is with Aaron Carter. What do I think? I think Kristin's smarter than that. [P.S. The photo to the left is of Aaron Carter, not Nick Carter.]

... so the uber-disgusting Bai Ling told the Apple Daily (that really helps with the rumor's credibility) that she's so in love with Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys that she's ready to marry him -- and so's he, apparently. She said "the couple was ready to wed any time." Well, so am I. And sadly enough, I think he's just as aware of my willingness to marry him as he is of Bai Ling's.

Lindsay Lohan and Jared Leto, according to NY's Daily News, have made their coupledom official. They showed up at Bungalow 8 to celebrate her video's rise to number one on TRL.

The Daily Star is reporting that a split is looming on the horizon for Britney Spears and K. Fed. She's supposedly already contacted her lawyer and kicked Mr. Britney Spears out, while Kevin "has been furious with Britney for her phone calls to ... Justin Timberlake." However, it seems that Britney is intent on making the relationship work (so she doesn't become the next J. Lo?) and looking at this as a trial separation.

Hilary Duff is set to play the scary freaky girl in Poltergeist, all grown up, in the new movie Poltergeist: Kayeri. Didn't the actress who played her in the first three movies -- Heather O'Rourke -- die suddenly? Does Hilary really want to venture into the cursed horror series? Well ... it's not she doesn't look like she's about to teeter off and crumble into a mass of ashes any day now, anyway. [Photo courtesy of celebweb.org]

Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal's status du jour? Off.

Paris Hilton is set to play Zsa Zsa Gabor in a biopic. It's been said that Gabor's social life preceeded her acting career. Incidentally, Gabor married into the Hilton clan when she married Conrad Hilton, Paris' great-grandfather. Another great stretch of the acting muscle for Ms. Hilton. Woo-hoo.
