In this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly, Anderson Cooper unloads to Dave Karger about, among other more serious topics, his television viewing habits...

"I TiVo a lot of shows on MTV—stuff like My Super Sweet 16 that's jaw-dropping and mind-numbing—and I'll watch it on weekends. Now I like Tiara Girls. Oh, my God. On the second season of Super Sweet 16, all the really horrible girls had seen the first season and were trying to top them in horribleness. On Tiara Girls, there's a fresh level of horror."

1 He's an unusual man but I certainly give him props for getting out there and making a career for himself. After all, he's one of THE Vanderbilts and hardly had to work for a living.

3 Ha. My mom hadn't heard any of the "Anderson Cooper is gay" rumors until I mentioned it last weekend. She's distraught. (See above).

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore shook up sleepy Des Moines when they barreled into a local nightspot to hear their Los Angeles pal DJ AM spinning - but escaping the crush of adoring revelers was a nightmare.

The Iowa-born "Punk'd" star and his bride were all smiles at first as they knocked back Red Bulls and beers at club Aura the other night. But when fans started snapping away with cellphone cameras, Moore, who was with her daughter Scout Willis, 15, fumed, "Get away from us!"

Later, Kutcher decided he didn't want to drive and tried to hire a helicopter, but none was available - so a bouncer gave them a lift in his car.

Comic book heroine Batwoman is to make a comeback as a "lipstick lesbian" who moonlights as a crime fighter, a DC Comics spokesman has confirmed.

Batwoman - real name Kathy Kane - will appear in 52, a year-long DC Comics publication that began this month. In her latest incarnation, she is a rich socialite who has a romantic history with another 52 character, ex-police detective Renee Montoya.

52 will be published in the UK as a graphic novel by Titan Books in 2007. The series is set in a world in which established superheroes Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman do not play a part.

Tina Fey may not have a future on "Saturday Night Live."

An "SNL" spokesman said yesterday that Fey "has not yet made a decision" on whether she'll stay with the show as head writer and co-anchor of "Weekend Update" - or leave to focus on her new sitcom, "30 Rock," premiering this fall on NBC. Fey created "30 Rock" and will co-star with Alec Baldwin, "SNL" alum Tracy Morgan and current "SNL"-er Rachel Dratch. She'll also executive-produce and write the show, leaving her precious little time to devote to her weekly gig anchoring "Weekend Update."

Us Weekly reports in this week's issue that Fey will leave "SNL" to focus on "30 Rock" - and quotes a source confirming her departure from NBC's late-night comedy franchise.

"That's why she wore the T-shirt that said 'Thank You' during the closing credits of the [May 20] season finale of 'SNL,' " the source tells Us Weekly.

Mariah Carey is desperate to start work on her new film Tennessee, after taking over the part from R+B rival Janet Jackson.

Jackson piled on the pounds to play a waitress in the film, but had to drop out after the project started interfering with her musical comeback. Producer, Lee Daniels, who made Monster's Ball, had then turned to Carey after seeing her in a small movie role.

Carey explains, "It was really great because I did this little independent film with Mira Sorvino called Wise Girls." "He happened to see it and hadn't seen "the other one" (her film flop Glitter), so it was really cool because doing that enabled more doors to open for me."

"I haven't begun shooting yet. I'm very excited about it!"

A Marilyn Monroe exhibition onboard the Queen Mary cruise ship, which is anchored in Long Beach, California, is being exposed as an alleged fake.

Two Monroe experts, who checked out the memorabilia exhibition, have joined forces to sue the Queen Mary after insisting items on show, including a lipstick holder and a red dress, never belonged to the late movie icon. In a lawsuit filed on Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Monroe biographer Ernest Cunningham and fan Emily Sadjady insist Queen Mary bosses and exhibit organizers should refund admission fees to all visitors since last November, when the show opened.

Queen Mary bosses and memorabilia collector Robert W Otto, who owns the items on display, are refusing to comment about the lawsuit, but Otto has previously insisted all the items are authentic. The plaintiffs' attorney, George Braunstein, says, "The Queen Mary should have done a little more homework." The exhibit was forced to move to the Queen Mary after the Hollywood Museum cancelled a scheduled show over concerns some of the items weren't authentic.

Uma Thurman threw herself into acting following her split from husband Ethan Hawke in 2003, describing work as "my best friend".

Speaking to talk show host Oprah Winfrey, the actress also takes a swipe at relationships with past friends and partners, which she suggests were worthless and unrewarding.

Thurman - now dating businessman Andre Balazs - says, "Work has been my best friend my whole life, so getting back to work for me is like getting back to my best friend." "It's been the fairest relationship I've ever been in, it's been the most nurturing relationship. You feel like you can make a contribution that isn't worthless."
