Carmen Electra is marrying her ”best friend.”
The former “Baywatch” star, who got engaged for the third time on her 36th birthday last week, revealed that no one has ever understood her like Korn guitarist Rob Patterson.
She revealed, “We have known each other for a long time – it’s like we’re really good best friends. He understands me – I understand him.”
The stunning “Meet the Spartans” actress insisted that her latest relationship could not be compared with her previous marriages: Dennis Rodman and Dave Navarro.
She continued, “You can’t really compare people. This is something new and exciting, so we will see where it goes. I am very happy.”
Both celebrities revealed that they are in no hurry to get married as they are enjoying their engagement.
She added, “We are going to enjoy being engaged for now and just do that. It’s funny because people think you are getting married tomorrow, and we just want to take our time and take things very slow. People always say what they want. I don’t really have anything to say to that. It’s silly.”
Lily Allen, who is a British singer, has blamed the stress after her recent weight gain over a failure of chatting.
Her television debut of the “Smile” singer was considered to be a flop after she failed to attract standard ratings. Her first episode drew 255,000 viewers just two per cent of the potential U.K. audience.
And the 22-year-old singer insisted the stress of keeping audiences interested has made her dramatically gain weight.
She revealed, “I don’t look great at all. I’ve put on so much weight with all the stress of my TV show. I’m glad it’s over. Now the show is over I am sure I will lose some weight, just naturally as well as exercising in the gym twice a week.”
Lily Allen, who championed curvy women when launching a high street clothesline to rival model Kate Moss’ last year. She is desperate for a quick fix.
She added, “I hate fat tummies so I hope it goes by summer.”

And here is what I thought of last night’s performances:
Last night the contestants sang music by: Neil Diamond. (Times Two.)
Who doesn’t *LOVE* at least One Neil Diamond song? C’mon! It’s okay. You can admit to it.
Anyway. On to the contestants (in no particular order).
Syesha Mercado:
Song One: Hello. She FLOORED me with her voice. She sang that song pitch-perfect and beautifully. I honestly think she “owned” Round One.
Song Two: Thank The Lord For The Night Time. This time, I was not as impressed as I was with her first go at it. That performance was a little more hackneyed. Possibly a little too ‘Broadway’ for me. (But wait? Have you ever been to a Broadway Play? Yeah. You need some pretty powerful pipes to work that. So I think thats a compliment.)
—– —– —–
Jason Castro:
-Was unfamiliar with any Neil Diamond songs. Um. Yeah. What? How is THAT even possible?
Song One: Honey Sweet. I was throughly unimpressed. It was boring, flat, and not entertaining At. All.
Song Two: Sepetember Morn (and again) he was boring, flat, and not entertaining At. All.
He had absolutely no charisma last night. It was as if he was simply going through the motions. Hmm…I think he might be in some danger of going home? *fingers crossed*

David Cook:
I always look forward to hearing the magical brilliance of David Cook. Undoubtedly he would bring something fantastic to the table in order to make Neil Diamond ‘fresh’ again. And he did NOT disappoint. David gave Neil the chills during the rehearsals.
Song One: I Am Alive. And of course, he rocked. No. It wasn’t his Best Song Ever…but it was pretty freaking awesome.
Song Two: All I Really Need Is You. That time he gave ME the chills. David Cook (hands down) “owned” Round Two.
—– —– —–
David Archuleta:
Song One: Sweet Caroline. But, I think because I am sooooo used to the Neil Diamond version, it was a little hard for me to get into it. His performance also lacked the bar full of people singing in unison I am all too familiar with. I suppose its because without that sort of ‘back up’ I wasn’t as enamored with his performance as I usually am.
Song Two: They’re Coming To America. It’s not as if he was born to sing Neil Diamond covers. However, he really did a Great Job. Perfect Song Choice for him.
—– —— ——
Brooke White:
Song One: I’m A Believer. After that disaster, I believe it is time for her to go. That was the WORST performance she has had all season long. She did a better job last week when she forgot the lyrics and had to start over.
Song Two: I am I Said. She does not have a strong enough for that song. Bad Choice. Bad Performance. Better than the first song….but um no. While I do like her behind the piano, I think I would like her more….Off The Show.

So what was the best part of last night’s American Idol?
When Paula noticeably, seriously, in full blown train wreck fashion, F-U-C-K-E-D UP. Big. Time. And So Very Badly…ON LIVE TELEVISION, in front of millions of people.
Paula was giving a ‘review’ to a contestant about a song that he HADN’T SUNG YET.
(Yeah. Um. Now we already know that American Idol is a LIVE television show, and clearly the judges notes on what to say or how to critique the singers are written before hand. Obviously, if any of those papers happens to get mixed up and put back ‘out of the sequential order they are supposed to be in’ … Paula is screwed. She barely knows where she is at any given time. How is she supposed to figure out on her own where they are in the show)
Man, I wish I had recorded that, just so I could re-live watching Ryan Secrest’s horrified facial expressions. His eyes screamed crazy desperatation for someone to jump in and STOP her from speaking.
And then she made things even WORSE by trying to back peddle.
SIMON had no other choice came to her rescue, by changing the subject and asking her a simple direct question.
That was absolutely CLASSIC. Classic. And He-LAR-ious.
I will be spending the day Googling and searching The Internet. I am positive that someone, somewhere, has a video clip of that posted. I am on a mission to find it. And when I do, I promise, I will add it to the bottom of this post.

Jamie Lee Curtis released a statement to defend Miley Cyrus after the “High School Musical” star made a controversial photo shoot with U.S. magazine Vanity Fair.
The Disney teen sensation, which was featured in the magazine, wore a wrapped blanket, has sparked outrage across America, prompting an “embarrassed” Cyrus to issue an apology, claiming that she was manipulated into posing for the pictures.
And Jamie Lee Curtis sympathizes with the “Hannah Montana” actress after the topless photo scandal earlier this year.
The Halloween star appeared on the cover of AARP magazine wearing a strapless dress, but Curtis was shocked when she saw the end shot had been digitally altered to make her look semi-naked.
And she insisted that if a magazine can manipulate a mature woman like her, more protection should be in place to look after vulnerable young stars.
She revealed, “I too was a little embarrassed by my recent topless scandal and the subsequent parodies. But I am an adult. I protected myself during the shoot and I can take the heat. I only wish that her guardians had protected her. She is a young girl. She shouldn’t have to deal with any of this. I know the integrity of Ms. Leibovitz and the magazine and I know there were people present at the shoot that should have been looking out to make sure that this didn’t happen.”
In keeping with the ‘humor theme‘ I have going on this week, I would love to share THIS VIDEO ABOUT HOLIDAYS with you, by one of my favorite clean-cut comedians. Jim Gaffigan. You will not be disappointed.
Warning: After watching that video you might end up spending a lot of time on the internet looking for more of his material. But since I am always looking out for my readers, here are a few other links:
