No matter what happens with the (endless parade of) men in her life, Jessica Simpson will always have BFF Cacee Cobb.
Jess and Cacee — who’s dating Scrubs‘ Donald Faison — were spotted leaving Madeo in LA last night.
Nice nipples, Cacee.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Caroline Kennedy help launch the 2008 Shop for Public Schools Program in New York.
Because public school students in this country need our help!
Can’t you tell?
Sarah Jessica Parker actually wore something flattering for the event! That’s how important this cause is!
That’s why you should consider making a donation to Evil Beet’s Gossip Saves the World challenge page with DonorsChoose.org and donate as little as $5 to help students in high-poverty areas get the education they deserve. Evil Beet readers have already donated nearly $400 and helped almost 100 students get the supplies they need to help them learn. A little bit goes a LONG way. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! Keep at it!
Kellie Pickler released her second album this week — a eponymous, relaxed, and occasionally humorous set of tracks where she got to take her sweet time and call her own shots. And, frankly, it’s amazing.
I’ll be honest: I loved Kellie on AmIdol, but I wasn’t a big fan of her first album. I’ve been listening to her sophomore effort for a couple days now, and I LOVE it. It’s a fantastic country album, and she has a lot to be proud of.
“It was so rushed and, honestly, now that it’s out and I can be honest about it, there are songs on there I would never even cut,” says Kellie of her first album, Small Town Girl. “It’s so good to finally say ‘Here I am! This is the real me, the real deal.”
Kellie co-wrote half the tracks on the album.
“I started songwriting after ‘Idol.’ I tried before but I hadn’t mastered it,” she said. “I think the key is to be real, to be honest. When we started to pull things from my journal — whether it was a bad breakup or a fight with a friend or a personal struggle with my family — that’s when everything started to click. When I tried to make up some fictional story, I wasn’t good at it. The only thing I’m good at is being me.”
She penned the melancholy “Somebody to Love Me” after a particularly painful split.
“Everything in my personal life was crumbling. I’d go out and sing in front of 50,000 people and then get on my tour bus and cry. I was lonely. I just wanted someone to love me,” said Pickler, who had a well-publicized relationship — and breakup — with Jordan Tootoo of the NHL’s Nashville Predators and is now dating one of her co-writers, Kyle Jacobs.
Anyway, I really can’t say enough good things about this album. I’m really digging it, and I think she did a great job. Congrats, Kellie. I always knew you had it in ya.
She may not be on any Wheaties boxes or signing endorsement deals with credit card companies, but Alicia Sacramone is happy to show up and be herself at … the 24-Hour Fitness in Thousand Oaks.
Dude, I’m sorry, but she’s so much hotter in her gymnastics get-up. She’s uninteresting to me in normal-people clothes — she falls flat somehow. I want her hair in a tight little bun and sparkles all over her face and a cutesy leotard plastered to her body. I like her much better that way.
I know, I know.
Beauty is on the inside.
I assure you Cameron Diaz is more beautiful than you are inside, too.
Here’s Cam at the AFI night at the movies, presented by Target.
Well, kind of.
Check out this clip of the episode of The Simpsons — which will air on November 2, two days before the election. In it, Homer tries repeatedly to vote for Barack Obama, but his votes are counted for John McCain. Then the voting machine kills him.
Executive producer Al Jean claims the clip is not an endorsement of Obama but rather a commentary on voting system irregularities.
Oh, look, it’s Kate Walsh. Perfect, gorgeous, rich, happily married, successful, skinny, kissed-by-every-hot-doctor-on-television Kate Walsh. Looking perfect. Yay.

Both Presidential candidates voted yes on a revised version of the $700B bailout rejected by the House earlier in the week.
The new Senate legislation now includes a number of new provisions aimed at Main Street, hoping to win the votes of House reps who don’t want to be seen as bailing out the rich fat cats on Wall Street while small-town America still can’t pay its mortgage.
The House votes on Friday.
