Forget about purebred pups with pedigrees–This weekend’s top dogshow was all about honoring those canines with mugs that only an owner can love. With gnarly coats, stumpy tails, missing eyes, and scraggly teeth, dogs came from all over the globe to win the coveted title of the World’s Ugliest Dog.

11-Year Old Harvey Kindlon was so close! He managed to get within feet of uber-beauty of the moment Megan Fox at the London premiere of Transformers 2, when his well-documented quest to give her a yellow rose was stymied by the flashbulbs of photo hounds from the UK’s trashiest rags. It seemed all was well that ended well though, as the aptly-named Ms. Fox had seen a photo of the boy pathetically longing in the not-so-distance and issued an apology, noting that ignoring such a doting fan was very unlike her.

Less than an hour ago, reports started rushing in that Michael Jackson had suffered cardiac arrest. Only a couple minutes later, followup reports were suggesting he had died on his way to the hospital. It appears that the preeminent King of Pop’s era is over.

Michael Jackson had 14 number one hits in his career, which began before the singer was 10 years old. He is survived by three children. Clearly his later years found him a confused and unstable individual; but the loss of one of music’s most respected and influential performers is a sad one regardless. Hopefully, the legacy he leaves will be deeper rooted in his many contributions to popular culture, and not his personal life.

Breaking news: Shia Labeouf does NOT want to sleep with his mother. He’d just like to clarify that, America. In fact, the incest rumors are the most “ridiculous thing,” he has ever heard! All the he did was tell Playboy in May that, “Nobody looks like that woman. If I could meet my mother and marry her, I would. I would be with my mother now, if she weren’t my mother, as sick as that sounds.” Yep, that’s all he said. His comments were totally misinterpreted. It’s not like he said he wanted to sleep wi…well, maybe…dammit.

Housewives all over the country let out a universal sob at the television screen as their worst fear became a reality. Yes, Jon and Kate Gosselin would be ending their ten year harmonious marriage with a divorce. Even though their every movement had been tracked by the paparazzi and documented on TLC’s “Jon and Kate Plus 8,” no one ever expected their relationship to come to a screeching halt. They always seemed so blissfully happy, as Kate lovingly and kindly would give Jon barking orders, and her husband generously would offer 23 year old college students late night “tutoring lessons” to help with studies. Yes, they really were the ideal couple.

Director Tim Burton has an innate talent in “creepifying” children’s bedtime stories. He’s also got a knack for showcasing his two favorite obsessions/actors, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, along with their equally creepy dramatic skills. His newest project - a new spin on Lewis Carrolls’ Alice in Wonderland, set to release March 5, 2010 - is no exception.

Even though the release date is still almost a year away, the anticipation for the film peaked today as more shots from the movie were leaked online.

It was a dark and stormy night in Toronto and in the life of rumor monger and new media mogul Perez Hilton. The gossip queen, whose tremendous wit reaches its height when drawing penises on the faces of photos of celebrities, was met with a cruel form of un-ironic comeuppance when someone struck him with something other than a scribbled phallus. The whole thing allegedly “got started (retarded)” when Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am told the saboteur of Miss California’s pageant dreams to not write about his band on his infamous site. This request was apparently followed by a bit of an alleged drubbing at the hand (or fists) of the band’s manager Polo Molina.

It used to be that whenever we had the urge to see a trashy Long Island native posing shirtless via a camera phone photo they took of themselves in the mirror, we would just go to Myspace and do a search for the name Joey or Amber. But the “place for friends” is no longer the only site to catch a glimpse of those desperate for sexy time approval.

Her hotness has been a trending topic for the greater part of the impeding Iran Revolution. I don’t think any celebrity has achieved that before.

Megan Fox is hot. Like, seriously guys, she is sooooo hot! She’s been all over the world this week supporting the release of Transformers 2, and honestly this is hotter than doing a striptease at a USO Show in Hanoi. Prominent gossip rags have literally covered her hotness on a daily basis, and frequenters of the social web have made her hotness a trending topic for the greater part of the impeding Iran Revolution. I don’t think any celebrity has achieved that before.

This is kinda funny, because something else this sexpot has solely achieved is managed to appear incredibly attractive to males, yet only moderately attractive to females.

It was deja vu all over again - in the tradition of Star Wars, yet another perfectly classic trilogy ruined by the desire to see characters we know and love gross $100 million in an opening weekend. Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Horribly Inane Plot Involving Aliens may have sullied the image of our favorite whip-cracking, wisecracking, Nazi-battling adventurer last summer, but not enough to make us forget the good times we shared in his first three films. The closing credits of last summer’s atrocity left us relieved that perhaps Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Lucas would never attempt to add another chapter, while graciously closing the book on the archaeological career of one Henry Jones Jr. Now we’re hearing whispers that this is not necessarily the case.
