--Rose is a homewrecker. (Have you seen the previews for this? She has a machine-gun-like-thingy on the bottom half of her leg!)

--Pop star/actress Mandy Moore has been hobbling around Hollywood for the past month after fracturing her ankle during a magazine shoot. The singer was injured after jumping from a boat during a cover shoot for June's health and fitness magazine Self. A spokesperson for Moore tells People magazine, "It happened at the end of February in Mexico. It was for one of the setups for the spread where she had to jump into the water." The 22 year old has been sporting a cast on her right leg for the past few weeks.

--The ashes of James Doohan, who played chief engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott on the original Star Trek TV series, are one step closer to being beamed up into space. Doohan will not be alone on his journey. Also having a few ounces of their remains loaded into a rocket that is set to launch in New Mexico on April 28 are Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper and some 200 others, the Associated Press reports. Cost per person for the voyage (to be paid by survivors or the deceased person's estates): $495.

--HBO is revisiting one of the most dramatic events in U.S. election history with "Recount," a film about the 2000 turmoil in Florida to be directed by Oscar winner Sydney Pollack. Paula Weinstein is executive producing the HBO Films project, which is targeted to premiere in spring 2008. Written by actor Danny Strong, Spring Creek Prods.' "Recount" chronicles the weeks after the 2000 presidential election and goes behind the scenes of the recounts in Florida to explore the human drama of ordinary people caught in an extraordinary event that would decide the leadership of the country. "It's a very compelling piece that takes a well-known event and deconstructs it from the point of view of the people involved," HBO Films president Colin Callender said. (Ha. That will be really objective...)

--Snoop has mad love for Bill O'Reilly. Not.

--Jessica Biel has beaten her reported one-time love rival Scarlett Johansson to the top of a new Sexiest Women poll. Both actresses were romantically linked to Justin Timberlake at the beginning of 2007, although Johansson, who appeared in the pop star's steamy "What Goes Around, Comes Around" video, has recently denied she dated the singer. But, if the rumors were true, Timberlake was dating the two top women in the world, according to men's magazine Stuff. Biel finished first and Johansson second in the publication's 100 Sexiest Women list. The top 10 are: 1. Jessica Biel 2. Scarlett Johansson 3. Jessica Alba 4. Eva Longoria 5. Katharine McPhee 6. Sienna Miller 7. Olivia Wilde 8. Angelina Jolie 9. Malin Akerman 10. Christina Aguilera. (Personally, and I'm not a guy so I don't count, but I think 2-5 are all sexier than #1).

--PETA has Karl Rove in its cross hairs. The animal-rights group — which usually goes after fur-wearing celebs such as Nicole Richie and Ashley Olsen — has set its sights on President Bush’s top aide. Rove provoked the group’s ire with a rap routine he performed at the Washington Radio and TV Correspondents’ dinner. Listen up suckas, don’t get the jitters,” Rove rapped, “but MC Rove tears the heads off of critters.” And when asked if he has any hobbies, Rove said he enjoys “ripping the tops off of animals” and demonstrated with his hands. “We saw your bizarre routine. . . and our first thought was, ‘Don’t give up your day job,’” PETA president Ingrid Newkirk wrote in a letter to Rove at the White House. “On second thought, we do wish you’d give up your day job. . . . You have a severe compassion deficit and, sadly, you have the president’s ear, and the last thing this country needs is someone whispering something violent into it.” (The folks at PETA are so irrelevant).

--Abigail Breslin may not have won the title of Little Miss Sunshine, but she's about to be crowned an "American Girl." According to Variety, the recent Oscar nominee has booked a pair of high profile leading roles, opposite Jodie Foster in the Walden Media-produced "Nim's Island" and in the doll-based feature "American Girl." (I'm sure she'll be adorable in it, but thinking about American Girl dolls gives me hives. When I used to live in Chicago, there was an American Girl store in Michigan Ave., and these crazy mothers with their kids acted like they were seeing the second-coming. They would beeline to the store, w/ no regard for others around them, act like snarling wolves, and then walk around Michigan Avenue with these huge American Girl bags and run into people. Annoying!)

--Click here to win a date w/ a giant D-bag whose 15 minutes of fame should have been up long ago...

--Um, I'm not really sure what the hell this is. If Alanis was singing different words, I'd love it. Who knew "You love my lady lumps" could be so stirring?

--The MySpacer who had gone 16 days without food in protest of Sanjaya Malakar's presence on "American Idol" has finally relented -- under doctor's orders. "J," the one-letter moniker by which she is known to millions, says that she will continue to fight the good fight the old fashioned way: by voting for anyone other than Sanjaya. (Hmmm...she has an idea there...)

--"I have had lesbian experiences in the past. But I started having sex quite late on - after I was 18. I was raised a good Catholic girl. " --Fergie

Random Thought of the Day:
So, who watched the game last night? I caught most of it, although I'd be lying if I said I didn't switch back and forth to "The Bachelor" from time to time. Whatever...don't judge. To my credit, my girlfriends got together to watch "The Bachelor," and I didn't go b/c I knew I wouldn't get to see ANY of the game, highlights, etc. Oh, and I finished 8th in my pool sponsored by my pals at the G2. No, there weren't 10 entries...there were 159! Not too shabby!
