• Britney Spears' dad is no yenta. Supposedly he is trying to set her up with Benji Madden, who—sorry to tell ya, pops—keeps winding up at the same place at the same time as his ex, Paris Hilton.

• Amy Winehouse's drug problems aren't the reason she hasn't released any new music lately. An addiction to reality show Hole in the Wall is the true cause.

Everybody, join Mick Jagger! "Y.M.C.A.!"

• Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer actually appear to really like each other while leaving NYC hot spot La Esquina last night.

Hanukkah with Sacha Baron Cohen's family doesn't sound as fun as it should.

Dear Lance Bass: Thanks for spilling the beans about how the Dancing With the Stars tour bus beats the one you had for 'N Sync. We've always assumed Lacey Schwimmer smelled better than Chris Kirkpatrick. Love, Rise 'n' Shine
