Harry Potter Waiting for Harry Did you buy the new issue of Beedle the Bard? Just a taste to keep us going til July. Seven more bloody months – gah!

Girlcrushes Australia’s true Queen Am crushing so hard I can’t even speak. Cate Blanchett received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today and apparently this is not one of those cases when the star pays for her own star.

Famewhores Carseats don’t photograph well Self promotion > child safety… After all, if Granny Freeze had had Sunday Rose in a car seat, the paps would not have been able to pull off such a good shot. And above all things, Nicole Kidman must be seen as a doting mother, a woman transformed by her By Lainey • Dec 05, 2008 03:51 am
Maple Leaf Oh baby, where’s your hair? Scott Speedman has buzzed it all off, seen yesterday on the set of a new movie called Funny People. It works on him, his hair is thick enough, but I l prefer it the way it was when I saw him in Cannes in May – suits his personality. Like a By Lainey • Dec 05, 2008 03:33 am
Sports Just friends…who f-ck? Alex Rodriguez opened up for the first time about Madonna exclusively to People Magazine. Of course. "I have a lot of respect for her.

Britney Spears Fake smile, bright lights After a whirlwind week, Britney is back in LA and was the not so surprise guest at the Light of Angels Holiday Tree lighting ceremony yesterday.

Hollywood Closet His Pants! There is nothing wrong with your eyes. That is indeed Tom Cruise. And his pants… his pants are hanging ever so slightly better. Slightly. An infinitesimal amount.

Ebola Victims Ebola infects the Mouse? Yes. Please! Make it happen! Page Six is reporting that there’s apparently a Tinkerbell movie in the works – something about the little fairy living life as a normal girl. This is not a LipGloss Zac Efron biopic.
