Gwen Stefani and original No Doubtmembers Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young will drop in on the Gossip Girl cast for a special appearance in their May 11th episode. The appearance roughly coincides with the kick off of their ’09 Summer Tour, which starts May 3rd in New Jersey (YEAH).

It’s going to be their first tour in 5 years. Tix go on sale March 7th. I’m excited to see the band back together. Screaming ‘Spiderwebs’ at the top of my lungs in 4th Grade was a cathartic and character building experience for me. I wonder if they’ve still got it after all the babies and L.A.M.B.s and Asian Dance Crews.

Bowen had previously announced her pregnancy this past fall . She and husband Scott Phillips were preparing to welcome a baby boy or girl. It wasn’t till just recently that they realized they’d actually gotten a 2fer and so they’ve announced that they’re now expecting twins!

I do have to wonder what the hell that second baby has been doing this whole time to avoid detection. Never been preggers, so I don’t know exactly how many weeks along you have to be to be able to count the babies, but she made the original announcement back in November. How much faith can you have in your doctor when they miss an entire second human being  just chillin in your womb?

Linds and her labia lover Sam Ronson were spied getting a tad touchy feely on their recent trans-atlantic flight. The romance was more than just physical though. Passengers supposedly spotted Lohan “texting sweet nothings” to Sam “despite sitting eight inches away from her.”

The two also squeezed into the elbow shattering space of the tiny airplane bathroom to change into  ”matching black sleep suits” before settling into their seats for more cooing, cuddling, and general nonsense. So, we have a possible mile-high adventure a-brewing as well. If this were any other 22-year old I’d give her a high-five for popping her inflight cherry but this is Lindsay Lohan we’re talking about here. She’s done that shit so often it’s part of her air travel readiness routine. Liquids in baggie – check. Leggings – check. Boots – check. Get diddled in bathroom shortly after takeoff – check and mate.

I suppose this is as unsurprising as it is upsetting.

People magazine is reporting that Chris Brown and Rihanna have reconciled, and are currently holed up at one of Diddy’s homes.

I know what you’re thinking: Diddy probably lent them that place so he could have his bodyguards hold Chris down while Rihanna kneed him in the balls repeatedly. Right?

Nope.

“They’re together again. They care for each other,” says a source. “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

If this is true, Rihanna, SHAME ON YOU. The eyes of the world’s young women are turned to you right now, and what do you do? Run back to the man who beat you? I don’t care how young you are or what you’re a victim of, this is your life, this is your decision, and it is reprehensible. The example you’re setting for women everywhere is nauseating. Shame, shame, shame. Get your act together, girl. This isn’t a pattern you want to set for your life, and it is not a message you want to send to your fans.

The show has been picked up for a 19th and 20th season.

I didn’t realize this shit was still going so strong!

Survivor: Gabon, the most recent incarnation, averaged 13.8 million viewers among adults 18-49, dominating its Thursday 8 pm slot.

I guess I’m not really in a position to judge, since I still love Idol after eight seasons, but Survivor bored me from day one. What’s the appeal? Bitchy, dirty, old people on an island? I also don’t understand how The Amazing Race is still filming new seasons. Doesn’t the same old format start boring audiences after, oh, ten seasons? If you still watch these shows, please explain.

I’m not going to complain too much about all this, though. It is clearly God’s will for these shows to succeed, and I don’t want to offend Him. He might retaliate by bringing back Fear Factor.

If you had any doubts about the Idol Top-12er’s sexuality, they can be put to rest right now.

I have no idea when or where this took place, but it’s a pretty cool video of Adam performing Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” in perhaps the gayest manner imaginable. Truly the only thing missing here is a vibrating plastic fist.

He sure can sing, though!

Paris should just move to Japan. They love her so much there. And they don’t watch The Hills, so they don’t know what a douche Doug Reinhardt is.

Paris spent the day tooling around Tokyo with new flame Doug, promoting her fashion line, Honey Bunch. It is my understanding that this is a Japan-only brand. People are making it seem like she designs the line, but, based on the Japanese sites I’ve looked at (hooray for Google translate!), it appears she’s just the spokesmodel. This is what they say on the website for Shibuya 109, a major Tokyo department store that sells Honey Bunch:

The trend for this autumn is the “Marilyn Monroe Look”! As Paris Hilton has become the promotion model for “The Honey Bunch”, she has not only transformed herself into the widely-popular Marilyn Monroe, a much-loved icon by ladies all around the world, but has also become a symbol for sexy-casual style. Some popular trends here include comfortable-fitting suits and pleated skirts.

Uhhh, I don’t know that Paris has exactly transformed herself into Marilyn Monroe. She’s missing, ya know, the curves. But I’m sure she’s making an insane amount of cash for this — Paris isn’t passe in Tokyo yet — and I bet she even made the company pay for Doug’s ticket out to Japan. Why wouldn’t he come? It’s not like he had anything better to do.
