Cate Blanchett and her little guys, Roman Robert and Ignatius Martin, have fun at a playground in New York City on Tuesday (December 1).
The 40-year-old Aussie actress watched Roman, 5, play on a tire swing and Ignatius, 19 months, ride on a trike. Love all of Ignatius‘ funny faces!!
“Having boys is great,” Cate told People recently. “It’s a neat position to be in and I love the high energy that comes along in raising boys. It’s fun.”

Wendy Williams keeps it real

This year, a self-described "messy" bombshell hit the television talk-show circuit—and her name is Wendy Williams.

( By the way, her fans will be thrilled to know that The Wendy Williams Show—with the host saying her signature line, "How you doin'?"—has been extended through the 2011-12 season. ) In a candid interview with Windy City Times, Williams talked about everything from her recent induction in Chicago's National Radio Hall of Fame to why many gay people love her.

Windy City Times: How are you doing, Wendy?

Wendy Williams: How you doin', Andrew?

WCT: [ Laughs. ] You know, it's a little surreal right now. I'm talking with you and, yet, I'm also watching your show.

WENDY WILLIAMS: Isn't that weird? Yes, it's a Friday, and we're live from New York Monday through Thursday; the Friday show is taped Thursday afternoon at about 1:30. So on a Friday recently I walked into a place for breakfast—and there I was on TV in the bar area. It was weird, you know?

WCT: I have to say that you're really rocking that dress.

WENDY WILLIAMS: Oh, the pink one? Thank you! It's Robert Rodriguez. And you know what? When I saw Chris Brown's video, I said, "Oh, my gosh. Cassie [ the female singer in the video ] is wearing a similar dress to what I have on." And her hair is pushed to the side, the way mine is. [ Note: Singer Chris Brown was Williams' guest this particular day. ] I had no idea, but there I am!

A posse of disgruntled Lady Gaga fans claims the pop superstar was a regular Fame Monster who kept them waiting until the wee hours of yesterday morning for a promised meet-and-greet.

But a Berklee College of Music drummer insisted the Lady is no tramp - in fact, he was totally Starstruck when he encountered Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in front of the Wang Theatre the other night.

OK, first the bad news: Gaga was set to greet some 200 fans who had purchased nicey-pricey VIP tickets to her sold-out show at the Wang on Tuesday night. But when the concert ended at 11 p.m., she holed up in her dressing room until after 2 a.m. before coming out to meet her minions.

“She was sitting backstage relaxing,” said Someone Who Was There. “They kept saying she’d be right out, but she stayed back there for three hours. People were pissed!”

The VIP concert-goers - some who paid nearly $400 for the tickets - were promised (Poker) Face time with Gaga in a downstairs reception room postshow. Some who waited until nearly 2 a.m. abandoned the mission and never got their Gaga on, we’re told. Others who stuck it out, were there until nearly 4 a.m.

Who knows what Gaga was doing in the her dressing room, but she did find the time to post a Hub love note on her Twitter account: “Boston ate my heart, and I don’t want it back.”

Tim Riggins will always be near and dear to our hearts, even when he drops out of college. Even when he flirts with the daughter of a cougar he had a one-night stand with. Even when he keeps hanging out by the high school after he graduated while everyone else has moved on. We still love this good-looking guy.

( Lots of hot mens, all in the wrong order )

I suspect that this post will inspire lots of rants.

Sons of Anarchy ended its second season on a high ratings note, setting a new series high in viewers with 4.328 million, eclipsing the previous series high of 4.29 million (for the season two premiere).

Adults 18-49 look to be close, but not quite a record. Last night’s SOA averaged a 2.3/7 rating share rating with adults 18-49, but I need to wait to see the # of adults 18-49 viewers before knowing if it’s a record. The previous high was 3.028 million adults 18-49 for the season two premiere, and by math last night’s 2.3 (actually a 2.27) will get it right around a 3 million.
Update: missed a new high with adults 18-49, but not by much with 2.985 million.
It was, of course, the highest-rated cable show of the night (excluding the presidential address).

A good night for SAMCRO and its fans either way.

The beautiful Padma Lakshmi gets personal on the cover of Page Six magazine, available Thursday (December 3) inside the New York Post.

The 39-year-old Top Chef hostess, who’s expecting a baby next year but hasn’t revealed the father yet, opened up about being recognized, going easier on her body during her pregnancy and refusing only to eat low-cal foods.

On going easier on her body during pregnancy: “One of the reasons I think I’ve gained weight pretty quickly during my pregnancy is that I’m not exercising as much as I do normally…I can’t. I’m feeling tired, and I have this business to run. You hope that with age, what you pay for in gravity, you gain in gravitas. I’m sure my thighs looked better when I was 25, but I think my mind is better today.”

It's been a day full of ups and downs today. First the ups:

( Spoilers for Glee 112 )

In other great Glee news, both Adam Lambert AND Idina Menzel would love to be on Glee!! So hopefully Ryan will be able to get them both on this season or next at the latest. Next week I will be savoring this last pre-hiatus episode sooo much it's not even funny.

On the not so great side, motivation for college is fading very very quickly. It is getting very difficult to fight my screw it, I don't care side. There have been small victories though and hopefully I'll be able to get some stuff done this weekend. Going to LA this Friday to shoot some photos for my final project, do a gallery report AND hang out with some fans so hopefully that'll go well. Another bad thing is my bike got two flat tires AGAIN after getting them replaced a month ago and I don't have the money to get them replaced. The good news though is that I got a job as an assistant here! Also made some money in an economic experiment here so that helps a lot and lets me buy a hard copy of Adam's CD and not just my free Amazon digital one :)

In sad Adam news, ABC canceled his free concert with Jimmy Kimmel. I am so sad and angry as I had a ticket to go to it. Ugh it pisses me off so much. I am so sick of this kind of crap. Add that to finding out the NY Senate voted down the Gay Marriage bill, I'm disgusted and disappointed by the discrimination in this country. I know we'll win the war in the end but goddamn it losing all the time is depressing. On the good side, Dave Valesky whose my representative who previously was on the fence voted yes! Good to know that maybe my communication with him might have had a tiny impact. So I will have to support him in his next campaign as he's up for re-election and they're sure to use it against him.

sdwolfpup being the awesome person she is started a Vidding Love Meme and my thread is here. It is so great to see all the vidder and vid love going on over there! I am already feeling more motivated to work on my

festivids vid this weekend :)

On a Fanfic Love note, I just want to thank ALL the writers out there who write fanfic for all of us in fandom. After reading amazing fanfic over at

queenbitchfest, it reaffirmed my thankfulness of writers who create so many stories for everyone to enjoy. It reminds me that true romance exists in the world, that there are endless possibilities and so many different imaginary worlds to explore. I am in awe at the talent of the writers we have. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing me and others so much joy, or dare I say it, glee.

Colin, and his girlfriend left their seven week old son behind, so they could head off for a holiday in Mexico. How touching! I have to wonder if he's not making it up to her, after the whole Janet Jackson thing.

Adam Lambert certainly raised eyebrows with his provocative sexual charged American Music Awards performance last Sunday. And while he's still feeling the backlash from the performance, it turns out the one person he can't rely on for support is his family.

Adam's father was reportedly so upset with him over the performance he wants his son to make a public apology for it.

Adam has already said that he "got caught up in the moment and maybe went a little too far," but he doesn't think he should have to apologize for putting on a performance, after all, it was just For Your Entertainment.

Speaking to Ellen Degeneres on her talk show, Adam revealed, "My dad was like, 'I think you should apologize, Adam. I don't know. Maybe you should do that.'

"I was like, 'Well dad, I don't feel like I did anything wrong; it just maybe wasn't the right judgment call.'"

So how does Adam feel about getting axed from Good Morning America following his AMA performance? He said, "I don't blame them. I got carried away."

Thanks to Adam's racy performance all stars who will perform on an award show on ABC will now have to sign legal documents that say their live performance will be very similar to what they rehearse before the show.

Do you think Adam is getting too much heat for his AMA performance? Should he issue a public apology?

Here’s a letter I received detailing everything that’s going on with the Pleasure P Child Molestation Drama that hit the web earlier today. Via Bitchie Mail:

Hey Necole,

I know you heard a lot about the whole “Pretty Rickey/Pleasure P” child molestation drama. Well I am VERY close to the situation and BOTH parties and I want you to understand that it is ALL true. Not speculation or anything. He was convicted. The problem lies in Blue Star Entertainment, the label that housed and groomed Pretty Ricky. They paid a substantial amount of money to have these documents sealed back in 2006. The label wanted to keep the aura of Pleasure in the group and figured since he was signed basically for life that they would recoup the cost. Well, this was not the case as the other members of Pretty Ricky started separating themselves from Marcus “Pleasure P” Cooper as time went on. This eventually lead to them riding in separate cars to shows, arguing amongst themselves to them even jumping him (Pleasure P) at one point. This lead to him leaving the group but he is still very much contracted to Blue Stars Entertainment for 5 albums.

Here’s what happened:

Bono's bank account is as big as his heart--and that's saying a lot! But the U2 rocker is starting to think he's seriously overpaid for what he does.

Bono, who has an estimated net worth of almost $700 million, says he donates as much money as he can to charity because he thinks he makes more than he deserves.

Speaking at the launch of Nike's 'Lace Up, Save Lives' campaign, which aims to raise awareness and funds for the (Red) charity, Bono said: "I am very well paid, overpaid and even over-rewarded for what I do."

The charity event was attended by a number of football stars and Bono added: "These guys are very wealthy. But a lot of these soccer guys are giving something back and they don't need to do that."

Bono has donated millions of dollars to various charity campaigns throughout the year so he's truly an inspiration.

Throughout his career he's received 3 nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, and was even knighted in 2007! If only there were more celebrities like you Bono--the world would truly be a better place!

Richard Gere is reportedly facing a fine of up to $50,000 for chopping down as many as 200 trees in Pound Ridge in Westchester. The Pretty Woman actor opened the bed-and-breakfast Bedford Post inside a restored farmhouse with wife Carey Lowell in February.
According to Bedford's Record-Review, the deforestation in nearby Pound Ridge to create a paddock for his horses was said to have not gone down too well with the neighbours, reports the New York Post.
Record-Review editor RJ Marx said, "The feeling is that he acted a bit precipitously in clearing the trees. People are somewhat disappointed that he didn't follow procedure."
Marx added, "Rather than seeking the proper channels and permits, he hired someone to cut them down. He's generally a good neighbor. It was out of character."
Another local resident said, "This is a town where money isn't an issue. What matters are good manners and caring about the community. People have been supportive of him, but I'm not sure what he was thinking."
