After Whitney Houston's Death, Is Clive Davis' Grammy Party Doomed?
The Chris Brown-Rihanna assault. Usher's then-wife's medical emergency. And now, Whitney Houston's death.
The incidents all have one thing in common: They occurred within hours of mogul Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party.
Is the exclusive bash doomed?
The Next Big Superhero Movie: Avengers vs. X-Men?!
If you're a comic-book fan, then you greeted the news of an Avengers-X-Men crossover title with geekish glee.
If you're the suspicious sort, then you greeted the news with suspicion—the suspicion that Marvel is aiming for yet another all-star, big-screen team-up.
Crazy talk? Consider two things:
Five Thanksgiving Tragedies and Scandals
The shocking death of a star. A hero's fall from grace. A career-threatening arrest.
If you were the type to believe in curses, you'd think the long Thanksgiving weekend had it in for the rich and famous.

Natalie Wood Case: What's the Yacht Captain's Motive?
Dennis Davern is the man at the center of the reopened Natalie Wood case, but why?

And, no, we're not talking about pastoral care, whatever that is.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This story originally ran on Aug. 4, 2011, after it was announced that Lewis would not be back to host his final MDA Telethon. In light of the holiday weekend, we thought it was worth revisiting.

At a press conference last week, Jerry Lewis pulled no punches when it came to his opinion on American Idol: He hated the show and its contestants, sorry, "McDonald's wipeouts" about as much as The Biggest Loser, which in his book was also worthy of disdain.
But did American Idol have the last laugh?
