CHELSEA CLINTON GOT MARRIED AND RHINEBECK, NY HAS NEVER SEEN BUSINESS SO GOOD...

Former First Daughter, Chelsea Clinton (ala Bill & Hillary), married her longtime boyfriend, financier Marc Mezvinsky, in Rhinebeck, NY today. The wedding is said to have been "lavish and low-key". Isn't her Vera Wang dress gorgeous? Low-key IT is not! While all is well financially with the Clintons, they're spreading the economic love in the small town of Rhinebeck just by being there. That's right, the business owners say things have been booming with wedding guests, hordes of media, and stalkers  interested townspeople buying up goods/ souvenirs like there's no tomorrow.  One merchant even described it as being "Christmas in July". Yup, there's just something about those Clintons. Can you say, Charmed? Pop the Trunk for Pics...

LEVI JOHNSTON'S EX-GIRL IS PREGNANT, BRISTOL MAY BE CALLING OFF THE WEDDING...

All hell is breaking loose again in the Palin household, just when we thought things were settled and quieting down. After news broke a few weeks ago that Bristol Palin and Baby Daddy Levi Johnston had gotten back together and are engaged again, now we're hearing that his ex got pregnant during the separation and Bristol is none too thrilled. Enough to possibly not go through with the wedding. Levi says he's not the father, not surprisingly. Though the ex admits Levi is one of three whom she hooked up with the week of conception, so all may not be lost with Bristol and Levi's reunion. Thing is, this is the same ex who was Bristol's bff when she stole Levi from her back before they hooked up and got pregnant. Yup. The ex says she was blindsided by her bestfriend's stab-in-the-back and hasn't spoken to her since their last phone conversation when Bristol explained to her that she couldn't help herself, after apologizing (of course). Sounds like a bit of karma to us. Brilliant! [Huff Post]

LAURENCE FISHBURNE'S 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS DOING PORN, CREDITS KIM KARDASHIAN...(VIDEO)



This is just a testament to our society today and how some people will do whatever it takes to become famous. When Laurence Fishburne's 19 year old daughter, Montana aka Chippy-D, chooses porn "as a path" to stardom, we have a problem Houston. She apparently told TMZ that Kim Kardashian's career has inspired her to take the same sex tape route to famedom. Ummm how about asking daddy for some help in this area, Li'l Montana?

FIRE THREATENS SO. CALIFORNIA'S POWER SUPPLY...

A fire, which has been raging west of Palmdale, CA (called the "Crown Fire"), is said to be threatening all of Southern California's power supply. The fire is burning in Agua Dulce near the 14 freeway, very near the power lines that supply all of So. Cali's power. It has been burning out of control since about 3PM Thursday (yesterday). Firefighters are aggressively trying to prevent this from happening but as of 9AM is only 5% contained.  Road closures were enforced at about 9PM last night, and mandatory evacuations have ensued. Two other fires near the 14 freeway were also burning nearby but were both knocked down last night. Hopefully, the same will be the case for this Crown Fire soon. [KTLA]

JERSEY SHORE ANYONE? (VIDEO)




We don't get it but they're "ratings gold". The new season premiered last night, and they were all over the place promoting it, including "Good Day L.A."

AMERICAN IDOL CUTS THE FAT, BACK TO 3 JUDGES BUT NOT WHO MIGHT YOU THINK...

Reportedly, Kara DioGuardi has been fired from the show and none other than Jennifer Lopez is said to be her replacement. Kara's survival was based on whether or not Lopez would sign on and according to reports, she has officially done so. Simon's departure has been all the buzz and they're saying rocker Steven Tyler will sit in his seat. And, Ellen DeGeneres quit. Randy's contract has another year on it, and he hasn't been fired, so it's assumed he'll remain-- at least for now. We actually stopped watching a couple of seasons ago, but we may be tempted to tune in for the revamp. See, Fox 11, your plan worked already. [Reality Tea]

LINDSAY LOHAN'S LEAVING JAIL...

Lindsays mom, Dina, and sis, Ally, are photographed leaving the Lynwood jail carrying bags of Lindsay's mail and books. Guess she's about to get out? That was fast.

(And, if you believe that we have a bridge to sell ya) *wink* Lol @ TMZ for calling Lindsay "the incarcerated former actress." Ya'll are cold. [TMZ]

KIM KARDASHIAN AND LALA COURT THE PAPS...

Girls night out at Katsuya in Beverly Hills is clearly all about being photographed by the paps.

Anyway, pshhh, who are we?? [The YBF]

Um, yeah.

Yup, and analysis was done on 25 cell phones and half of them came back with high warning levels of environmental bacteria. We're talkin' fecal matter and staph, people. Ewww! Totally sick now. Read the article yourself. We're done. [ABC NEWS]

FEDERAL JUDGE TEMPORARILY BLOCKS "RACIAL PROFILING" PROVISIONS WTHIN ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW 1070b...

A U.S District (Federal) Judge has put her foot on the controversial provisions in Arizona's Immigration Law 1070b, which goes into effect tomorrow.

The judge has blocked provisions in the law which she says can lead to deportation, such as; requiring immigrants to carry their documents at all times, prohibiting undocumented job seekers from soliciting work in front of public places (think Home Depot), and authorizing officers to exercise deportation when making unwarranted arrests for other crimes.

These are the parts of the controversial bill which critics say legalize racial profiling-- the reasons for all the negative emotion surrounding it.

Arizona's Governor is moving to appeal the blocked provisions saying, "it's just a small bump in the road." This thing just gets uglier and uglier, and we see both signs of the coin. But in the famous words of Rodney King, (all together now) "Can't we all just get along???" [Huff Post]

We see you, T.O.! Yup, ya boy Terrell Owens has officially joined the Cincinnati Bengals (our favorite team since L.A. has NONE) where he will join VH1 reality show bff, Chad OchoCinco Johnson.

In a nutshell, T.O.'s career looks like this: (Wide receiver) Drafted from the Univ of TN at Chattanooga to the S.F. 49ers in 1996, from there he was traded to the PA Eagles (after falling out with the 49er's front office) . After 2 years with the Eagles, he went to the Dallas Cowboys but was given an "unconditional release" March 04,2009. Days later he signed with the Buffalo Bills. And, now-- a year later-- the Bengals. Interesting.
