Them's fightin' words

I prefer to get my unhealthy doses of celebrity gossip from the 'net, as opposed to on television. I usually tend to avoid entertainment-based shows, but the one show I'll drop everything to watch is The Soup. I LOVE The Soup. I loved it when it was Talk Soup with Aisha Tyler and I love it now, in all of it's re-vamped glory, with host Joel McHale. Joel makes me giggle like no other television show host has before.

The subject of Mickey Rourke's recently-passed and much loved chihuahua, Loki, came up on an episode recently and from the sounds of it, Joel had better sleep with one eye open, 'cause Mickey is pissed.

Natasha Richardson: 1963 - 2009

Star of the Day

Birthdate: May 18, 1970

Birthplace: Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

Soundbyte: "The first time I went to see a Second City show, I was in awe of everything. I just wanted to touch the same stage that Gilda Radner had walked on. It was sacred ground."

Quote of the Day

"The only thorn in my side being that many tabloids have been consistently reporting lies and false information about me and those close to me. And latest, they're reporting that I'm on my last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family! Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease and from the moment I was diagnosed, I knew I was in for the fight of my life. It's a battle, and so far, I've been winning. I'm one of the lucky few that responds well to treatment.

It's upsetting that the shoddy and reckless reporting from these publications cast a negative shadow on the positive and good fight I'm fighting. For me, my family, and those close to me, it amounts to downright emotional cruelty. That makes me angry when hope is so precious."

Spot the typo

Looks like some poor sap at OK! magazine is losing their job over a typo - the younger Simpson sister's name is spelled Ashlee, not Ashley. A rep for OK! apparently told Page Six the mistake was "highly embarrassing" and that "sadly, someone will probably be fired."

Oops.
