LeAnn Rimes & Husband Divorcing


It's over for LeAnn Rimes and husband Dean Sheremet.

"After much thoughtful mutual consideration, Deane and I have agreed to move forward with dissolving our marriage," the country star says on her Web site using the spelling of her husband's given name. "This decision was amicable and we remain committed and caring friends with great admiration for one another. Thank you so much for all of your continued love and support – it is deeply appreciated."

Rimes, who turned 27 on Friday, married Sheremet in 2002 when she was 19 and he was 21. They separated amid allegations of an affair with actor Eddie Cibrian after the two met while filming the Lifetime movie Northern Lights last fall. Cibrian, meanwhile, filed for divorce from wife Brandi Glanville last week.

Sheremet, a former professional dancer, is attending culinary school in New York. He posted a message on his Twitter page Tuesday: "Back to school kids, first time in 10 years." I just feel bad for the spouses of LeAnn & Eddie as this affair has broken up two families.

Dog as Political Pundit?

There's that old wives tale about owners looking like their dogs, but can you and your dog share more than just looks?



In the video above, one Kentucky woman tries to convince us that her dog Opie has an opinion on our current president. This got us wondering -- should pets become unsuspecting campaigners?

We have a feeling Bo Obama would have something to say about this. I'm thinking that this dog might know something that we don't all know just yet.

Former 'Brady' Star Calls Variety Show 'Spectacularly Bad'

Susan Olsen -- who starred as Cindy Brady in 'The Brady Bunch' -- readily admits that the 'The Brady Bunch Variety Hour' was really bad.

A Lifetime Funny or Die Original Movie

We're a little obsessed with Lifetime movies and their ability to inspire, to entertain, and to ruin celebrity marriages.

Ergo, we love this Funny or Die parody featuring the talented Cheryl Hines. She's no Kellie Martin (she's more of a Meredith Baxter, really) but she does an admirable job sending up the exquisite oeuvre of a channel that gives us movies about gay sons, lesbian soldiers, and former-cops-turned-single-moms-turned-crime-writers-turned-detectives. Click to enjoy.

Joe Jackson Gets Mad, Demands Justice

Which Project Runway Star Makes the Best Superhero


Tim Gunn will get the superhero treatment when Marvel Comics releases an eight-page book as part of the Models Inc. series, a revival of the characters created in the ’70s to attract female readers.

In Loaded Gunn, the Project Runway mentor jumps into Iron Man’s suit to save the day at the New York Museum of Fashion, reports Women’s Wear Daily. A writer for the series worked with Gunn to come up with plotlines and to incorporate his familiar voice and catchphrases into superhero speak. Example: “You know, there are far easier ways to accessorize than grand larceny.”

This won’t be the first time a Project Runway star has been made into a superhero. Earlier this year, Heidi Klum could be seen saving New York Fashion Week in style from a death ray as The Kluminator in four episodes of the Web series Spiked Heel for fashion site Modelinia.com.

Madonna Reveals 'Celebration' Teaser


Madonna shows she's still queen of the dance floor in the soon-to-be-released music video for her latest single, "Celebration," which even features boyfriend Jesus Luz and her daughter Lourdes.

"Madonna, Jesus, Lola (Lourdes) and the dancers all seemed to be having a great time," states one observer at the shoot.

In the just-released teaser for the video, looking glam in a Balenciega mini dress and black thigh-high boots, Madonna wows fans with fierce dance moves – old and new – writhing on the floor as the sultry Luz plays Deejay. (see the teaser below!)

In an earlier teaser, Luz exposes his chiseled chest as he spins tunes from Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour.

Twelve-year-old Lourdes has two cameos: First dancing for a few moments with the troupe and later, she can be seen in a wedding dress similar to the one her mom made famous in "Like a Virgin."

Madonna's longtime friend and collaborator, Jonas Akerlund, who won a Grammy for directing her "Ray of Light" video, directed the new video in Milan, Italy. "She was really happy to be working with Jonas again," says the observer.

The video premieres on iTunes Sept. 1, where it can be downloaded for free for 48 hours. "Celebration" will appear on Madonna's new greatest hits album of the same name, which hits stores in the U.S. on Sept. 29.

If the song reaches No. 1 on Billboard's Dance/Club Singles Chart it will be her 40th No. 1 hit – more than any other artist in the chart's history.
