Rebecca Romijn (once married to actor John Stamos) and Jerry O’Connell (once engaged to Giuliana DePandi), dating since 2004, have finally set their wedding date for January 6, 2007. Look for your invitation in the mail – LOL!
9. K-Fed Threatens Expose on Britney
Oh honestly, if the reports are true that Kevin Federline is threatening to write a tell-all book about Britney, who DIDN’T see this one coming? Sure Britney had a prenup, but probably nothing in writing to stop Kevin from writing an expose about their life in hopes of getting more money from his cash cow. Hopefully, Britney has learned when you lay with dogs you get fleas.
8. Nicole Richie Arrested for DUI
As skinny as she is now, it would seem that even smelling alcohol would be enough to make her fail a DUI test!
7. Fergie to Join “Dancing with the Stars?’
No, not Fergie the singer, but the original Fergie – former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson has been offered a spot on “Dancing with the Stars” by producer Conrad Green. Sarah has said she is an avid fan of the show.

4. Golden Globe Nominations Announced
Ah, Award Season has started! Among my favs that were nominated were Ben Affleck (for Hollywoodland) and Mark Wahlberg (for The Departed). Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated twice (once for The Departed and once for Blood Diamond). Clint Eastwood also received two nominations, but it was the film Babel that leads the pack with seven nominations.

2. Princess Diana Concert
Dead for ten years, but the Brits (and the rest of the world) cannot forget their beloved Diana. Princes William and Harry announced this week that there would be a concert next year on what would have been her 46th birthday. Among those scheduled to perform are Elton John, Duran Duran, Pharrell Williams, and Joss Stone.
1. Rosie Not Leaving “The View”
I’m sorry, but frankly, Rosie could leave the planet and I wouldn’t care. Her less than heartfelt apology to Asians was just another reason for me to not care for her as a talk show host.
