What's the deal with this pop life and when's it gonna fade out?

Seems like 2006 is the year for the comeback of pop music. Here's the line-up:
Christina Aguilera's newest single, "Ain't No Other Man" has already been tearing up the charts, and her album "Back to Basics" is set to hit record stores on August 15th.
Jessica Simpson's new album is due out sometime in August, but his first single, "A Public Affair" has not hit radio yet.
Justin Timberlake's new album, as I reported yesterday, will be released on September 12th. His first single off of the album, "SexyBack" goes to radio July 7th.
Even JC Chasez (of *N Sync fame, if you've forgotten) is making a second attempt at a solo career. His first single, "Until Yesterday" is expected to be released to radio in August, with his album following in the fall.

Us Weekly is reporting that Mandy Moore and Zach Braff are dunzo ... An insider said that "There was no drama. They were ready ... Mandy was very young when they got together and she wanted to see what's out there, now that she's a woman." And as for Zach, he "was mature and realized it was time to let her do that." The couple was together for a year and a half. Mandy Moore responded on her official site by saying "I am so overwhelmed by the absurdity of rumors and how on earth they could possibly get started ... I am so saddened that people stretch as far as they do in attempting to spread gossip that, at the end of the day, is just downright hurtful. I know rumors and falsities will continue to exist and its the world we live in...but c'mon people.. If you're gonna spread trash and gossip, there should be a line drawn on issues that you just don't go near!" Hmm ... wonder how it's hurtful. Does she enjoy being portrayed as a indifferent bitch?

Keira Knightley prefers British men to American men: "U.K. guys – well, the ones that I know – don't take as much stock in their appearance ... Ask an American guy what his beauty regime is, and he'll tell you. Ask a Brit, and he'll say, 'Er … Guinness?' I like that." I wonder how many American guys she really knows.

And according to OverheardinNY.com, Lindsay Lohan was overheard saying to a production assistant, "Oh my God! Don't talk to me like I'm some kind of normal person." Maybe that's her way of admitting she's actually an alien?
