Given the recent rumors of a miscarriage, this poll might seem uncannily well-timed or a tad bit unfortunate.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

Either way, feel free to blame me for my prodigious ability to capture the Zeitgeist with my keyboard.

Who knew getting dumped by Pamela Anderson would open the gates to high society:

Pamela Anderson may have left Stephen Dorff for more tattooed pastures, but sources say the fast-moving actor has already found comfort in the arms of an heiress, Alexandra Miller von Furstenberg.

[T]he 32-year-old socialite is a daughter of billionaire duty-free magnate Robert W. Miller and was a royal until her 2003 divorce from Alexandre von Furstenberg (son of Diane and Prince Egon von Furstenberg). But we hear Dorff, whose oeuvre includes the 1996 film Space Truckers, is “smitten with Alexandra” and is hoping to bridge the gap between their respective milieux.

In other words, says our source, “Stephen knows this is a step up. This blonde has something the last trashy blonde never will: billions of dollars and social standing.”

Who needs “social standing” when you spend the better part of your day on your back?

I love blind items, but only if they’re well-written:

WHICH Hollywood diva marched into a swanky R&B club in London and demanded they play a dance track? After the DJ threw a strop, holy war broke out and the star was turfed out on her ear…

Mmm… Who is Lindsay Lohan?

“Hollywood diva” covers a big-ass terrain. They really need to be a tad more specific…

Nicole Kidman is like the Crocodile Hunter of the dating world, fearless and outdorsy:

[T]he 38-year-old actress has been seen on a fun outdoor date with Australian country star Keith Urban - just days after he split up with his model girlfriend Niki Taylor.

Nic and Keith, 38, enjoyed a motorcycle ride in Woodstock, New York, before having a cosy Sunday lunch together.

We’re told the pair first got close at a gala dinner honouring famous Aussies back in January.

“The pair first got close at a gala dinner”?? What exactly does that mean, did someone bust them in the supply closet?

Did she or didn’t she?

FOX TV seems pretty determined to get to the bottom of this sleazy story:

Taking a page from Washington, the producers of “American Idol” and Fox TV hired an independent counsel to determine whether judge Paula Abdul had an affair with a contestant on the hit talent show.

“Any allegations against this show we take quite seriously,” Fox Entertainment President Peter Liguori said Thursday, calling the competition’s credibility “extraordinarily important to us.”

Liguori refused to say if Fox and producers Fremantle Media and 19 Television would fire Abdul if the claims by Corey Clark, an unsuccessful contestant on season two, were found to be true.

The probe’s results are due soon and will be made public, Liguori said in an appearance before the Television Critics Association.

It looks like someone’s gonna get screwed (no pun intended).

Scarlett Johannson shows her goods good judgement for detail-oriented moviemaking:

SCARLETT JOHANSSON, who previously had said she wouldn’t go naked in a film, is topless in her new sci-fi thing, “The Island.” And not because the director decreed it. It’s by her own choice. Shooting this early-morning, getting-up-from-bed scene, she supposedly said: “Women don’t normally sleep in a bra. I can’t be shown waking up wearing a bra. It’s ridiculous.” Director Michael Bay then asked her suggestion as to wardrobe and Ms. Scarlett, who apparently did not turn scarlet, replied: “Well… nothing…”

Michael, on the other hand, bayed at the moon and ordered his cameraman to switch to the close-up lens:

Okay people, let’s get those knockers in the can!

Sometimes the behind-the-scenes action is a lot more interesting than the actual performance as Val Kilmer so deftly proves:

The Postman Always Rings Twice is one of London’s most popular stage shows, thanks to the performance of Val Kilmer.

But Val isn’t really enjoying his time in the West End. A recent performance ran late because Val locked himself in his dressing room. One of the producers had to break down the door to persuade the star to come out, as the once-chiselled Top Gun star is now depressed, getting fat and drinking heavily.

I guess, the producer always rings twice, but that don’t mean Val will emerge.

Kate Beckinsale sure knows how to throw a fun birthday party:

It’s no secret that the British actress is one of the ladies in the running for the Wonder Woman lead role. She’s already someone who makes her friends wonder how she can surprise them next. Beckinsale turned thirty-two on Tuesday. Instead of blowing her cash on a fancy event in a swank restaurant, the fun-loving lady treated her friends and family members to a party at the World on Wheels roller disco in Los Angeles. Her husband, director Len Wiseman, the co-star of her new flick (Click), Adam Sandler, and guests were treated to a meal of burgers and assorted treats from a local In-N-Out fast food location. It’s nice to see that the fame and money hasn’t been wasted on Beckinsale. She still knows how to have a good time without spending millions and getting everybody in the joint drunk.

Another fellow In-N-Out lover who can do the roller skate boogie.

Who’s the nerd now?

Looks like 50 Cent’s “Magic Stick” can do some serious damage when wielded carelessly:

Autographs are so passe. 50 Cent left a female fan with a far more memorable souvenir when he recently visited London. The charming rapper took her back to his hotel from China White and shagged her so hard that her vagina was torn. A hospital visit was required to stitch up the damage.

Thanks Popbitch for this little big, errr, interesting nugget.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie will be back for another season of the “Simple Life”, because FOX TV owns their souls:

“We’re not definitive with what direction we want to take that show, but we feel that there’s got to be something there given the fact that both Paris and Nicole are engaged and about to be married,” Ligouri says. Rumors of a wedding-themed “Simple Life” have been swirling since Hilton became engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis; Richie is engaged to DJ Adam Goldstein (aka DJ AM).

Hilton and Richie had a falling out this spring, and although details remain sketchy (”Nicole knows what she did,” Hilton said at the time), there apparently hasn’t been any reconciliation.

Catfights in a wedding dress… It don’t get classier than that. I’ve got my TiVo already set.
