I hope Brett Favre comes out of his latest month of retirement, because otherwise, we will not have more parodies like this video, starring Sean Carrigan as Brett Favre.
A big thumbs up for celebrities using their name to help the world become a better place.
Take Katharine McPhee for example. To help bring back attention to a cause possibly forgotten, McPhee has teamed up with American Eagle Outfitters who in turn have entered into a partnership with Concern Worldwide US to raise funds for the rebuilding and support of schools in Haiti.
On the one-year anniversary of the Haiti earthquake on January 12, there are still “1.3 million people living in these tents,” McPhee told Mario Lopez of Extra.
Along with McPhee, celebs such as The Edge, Ryan Seacrest, Sean Paul, Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ruffalo, & Garcelle Beauvais, just to name a few, are helping to spread the word to buy and wear a limited-edition, AE-designed “Help Haiti Heal” T-shirts.
The T-shirts are being sold in more than 900 American Eagle Outfitters stores throughout the U.S., and worldwide at www.ae.com/haiti. The T-shirts were made in Haiti, by Haitians, to mark the first anniversary of the earthquake and raise awareness about the continuing need to help Haiti heal. The entire purchase price of US $15.50 will be donated to Concern Worldwide’s education program in Haiti, with the potential to raise as much as US $1 million.

Jesse James and Kat Von D are engaged. The news was broken to People magazine by James saying: “Growing old with her is going to be a f—-n’ blast!”
“I have never met anyone so kind and loving and committed to making the world a better place every day. My love for her is beyond description. So honored that she said ‘yes.’ Growing old with her is going to be a f—-n’ blast!”
What does Kat think about her hubbie-to-be? “There is no one else for me. He’s the one.”
Details are sketchy here folks and I usually don’t print rumors, but this was promoted by The Office‘s Facebook page, so, it’s a bit more official than tabloid fodder.
This past Monday I was at Nordstrom at The Grove and saw a handsome young man sitting on a couch in the shoe department for a long time.
“I’ve been kinda homeless! O my goodness yall! Ive been crashin on the street and behind buildings. I have a choice to stay and pursue my career or go back to texas and not do music! I’m usually a strong person but I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been goin to coffee shops and other stores so I can tweet to my snaf! Because to be honest! You guys are all I really have!”
In response, a spokesperson for 19 Entertainment responded to Lambert’s situation:
“He’s not homeless. He’s on a retainer, and he’s getting money every month. He’s working on demos. He’s with writers, he’s working on music. He’s not homeless. How could he be texting? How could he be going into [the] recording studio and sleeping on the streets? There’s no record deal yet, but hopefully something could come from [these demos].”
So, in response, Alex Tweeted:
“Sorry for the miscommunication. I’m just fine. The money that I was makin and have made I have sent home for my Mother and my 3 broke ass brothers sleepin on the ground! I just wanted the people that loved me to know what was really goin on. I know a lot of people think I tweeted my living situation for publicity! But I don’t give a damn about fame! I’m real! And I don’t lie! and I would never lie to y’all! (y’all being my supporters who got my back through thick and thin) Fu– yeah I was … sleepin outside! That shi- sucks too! I’m goin back home to get my shi- together! But I will be back! And I’m comin strong! LETS DO THIS!”
Anne Hathaway‘s star just keeps inexplicably rising. The upcoming co-host of this year’s Oscars has now been chosen to play Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises, the next installment of the Batman franchise which will hit theaters in 2012. Not too shabby I must admit.
Batman Director Christopher Nolan announced the news today, calling Anne “a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story.”
Anne has a lot to prove as Catwoman as she is next in a long line of amazing actresses who have played this role in the past: Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, and Eartha Kitt.
Esquire named the former Friday Night Lights star, Minka Kelly, the 2010 sexiest woman alive, so I get why she was able to steal Derek Jeter’s heart.
Minka is featured in the February issue of GQ magazine where she talks about her engagement to Jeter, the infamous Delta flight, and her upcoming movie, The Roommate.
Mainly though, Minka clears up rumors about what Gawker called an “airplane freak-out” where Minka supposedly threw a temper tantrum about her dog not being allowed to sit with her in first class on a Delta flight. Per a Gawker informant, “She called boyfriend Derek Jeter and handed the phone to him to try and rationalize with the seven flight attendants it took to calm her down.”
Here are some excerpts from the interview:
On the Delta flight:
“Do people think that somewhere in my brain, I think Derek can save me from someone telling me my dog can’t fly? If that’s the way I worked, he would have left me a long time ago.”

Meet, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John! Woowee, that’s a long ass name.
“I’ve never felt anything like it in my life,” John tells Us Weekly. “You’re so awestruck. What can you say? You take it in. The feeling, the joy, the warmth of his body, his breathing…I will never forget that experience ever.”
According to the couple the birth was very “dramatic.” Elton explained: “Suddenly, at 2:15am on Christmas Day, we were woken up. They said, ‘Quickly! The baby’s coming!’ We went in and stood behind the bed. Then the top of the head came out and David said, ‘My God, there’s the head!’
“Then he shot out like a rocket basically, so much so that the obstetrician sort of caught him! It was so dramatic and exciting, we didn’t have time to get emotional. Like there he was, talk about fast!”
Jennifer Aniston is on the February cover of Allure magazine and inside the issue she poses for a pretty sexy photo inspired by a 1960s photograph of Brigitte Bardot (see below).
“Let’s just say there have been moments I’d rather not relive, like that whole Rachel thing,” she says.
“I love Chris [McMillan, my hairstylist], and he’s the bane of my existence at the same time because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look. How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen. What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs?”
Here are some highlights from the interview:
Regis Philbin is retiring from his talk show after nearly 25 years.
The 79-year-old host made the big announcement this morning on Live with Regis and Kelly.
