RUMOR MILL
Are they or aren't they? No one seems to be able to set the record straight. The same day that the American tabs were reporting that Gwyneth n' Chris were through, the British gossip hounds were claiming that GP was playing gal-pal and waiting in Chris' dressing room after the Brit Awards. It's so obvious that this goofy guy is a mere placeholder until the whole Bennifer extravaganza quiets down. But, the international intrigue continues!

A CHANGE WOULD (NOT) DO YOU GOOD
Sheryl Crow is our friend. She writes her own lyrics. She knows her way around a six string AND a baby grand, not to mention the crowd pleasing harmonica and accordian. Even skeptics cannot deny that this girl knows how to rock!! But when it comes to style, no amount front row fashion show shmoozing (with Paltrow and Ciccone in tow) can save her. In the past decade Sheryl has taken on more looks than JLo has husbands. We've seen Crow go from kick as$ country-rocker (our favorite) to Lillith Fair-maiden minx and lately to an overly airbrushed, Mariah Carey-like monster whose frosty pressed locks and lipglossed lips overshadow her shining talents. Sure she still belts out tunes and jams guitar solos but it's a little hard to take her seriously when she looks like a spokesmodel for Revlon (and Feria). We want to whisper in her musical ear, "C'mon C'mon!" It's time both Sheryl and Mariah learn that this kind of polish-plastique is reserved for pop stars who need to rumpshake in bikinis to take the focus off of overdubbed vocals. Believe in the lyrics of another legendary rocker and know that, "[We] love you just the way you are."

CONSPICIOUS COVER-UP
Does a certain buck-toothed, pseudo-country rocker's name appear to be missing from Angelina's arm? It appears that Billy Bob's name has been magically erased from AJ's toned bicep through the use of foundation and/or concealer. The obvious smear looks simply silly but speaks loudly on how this vixen feels about her deadbeat ex-husband. We heard that the toned done temptress has sought tattoo removal services but has not gone through with the procedure yet. So for the time being, she'll trust the make up to hide the flaws (especially in judgement).
PS: Allegedly Angelina was spotted sharing a cozy dinner with Nic Cage in London. How perfect...the prospect of another crazy twosome to dish about!
