Gabrielle Union's Weave a Threat to National Security?
In the words of Gabrielle Union, this is "unbeweavable."
But also rather hilarious—particularly since the actress herself has proven that she's got a great sense of humor about the whole thing.
What, exactly, are we talking about? Simply this: Apparently, Union's weave was deemed so suspect by the ever-scrutinizing eyes of the TSA that her hairdo required its own patdown while going through airport security this week.
We'll give you a minute to let that sink in.
Why Does Beyoncé's Baby Need a (TM) After Her Name?
Why would Beyoncé trademark her baby's name? Are we about to see an onslaught of Blue Ivy products?
—Squawk, via the inbox
Well, the baby already has a spot in music history thanks to her debut on Billboard, so would a line of Blue Ivy binkies and booties really shock you—binkies and booties decked out in, well, blue ivy? Here's what I can tell you ...
Beyoncé, Jay-Z Move to Trademark Baby Blue Ivy's Name
Wondering what kind of parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z are? Helicopter? Free spirits? Disciplinarians? Try overprotective.
At least when it comes to ownership of daughter Blue Ivy's name.
Why? Well, the proud mom and dad hadn't even spent three weeks in their doting new roles before they saw fit to file paperwork with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office seeking to protect the good (and potentially lucrative) name of their baby girl.
Hey, if you like it, then you shoulda put a trademark on it.
What's Up With Lindsay Lohan's Fashion Week Look—and Her New Friends?
What's going on here?
It looks like Lindsay Lohan is still gunning for a role in the flick Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father, because the starlet seemed to channel Victoria Gotti on the red carpet at the amfAR gala Wednesday night in a very fitted white dress and new hair to match.
Yeah, we weren't expecting her big platinum blond 'do (and bangs, but that seems to be the trend these days), but LiLo is always full of surprises.
Including rubbing elbows with an interesting pair...
What's Maya Rudolph Got to Do With Hollywood's Severed Head Case?
Maya Rudolph has a strange tale to tell—like how exactly she's connected in a six-degree/Kevin Bacon sort of way to one of Tinseltown's most highly publicized murder mysteries in recent years.
Turning up on Conan last night, the Bridesmaid star revealed that it was her friend's dog, Ollie, who ended up discovering a severed head and hands near the iconic Hollywood sign a couple of weeks ago.
Eww. Let's go to the tape, shall we?
Twitter Tell 'Em: Soulja Boy Killed by Online Hoax, World Refuses to Mourn
Last night, Twitter didn't just try and kill Soulja Boy. It also tried to ruin any vestige of self-esteem the rapper might have.
In a matter of hours, #RIPSouljaBoy became a trending topic on the site, and speculation began growing that the 21-year-old "Tell 'Em" artist had met his maker.
The good news: Soulja Boy is alive and well. The bad news: that seems to have come as a disappointment to a hefty portion of the social media crowd.
Was the Inquest Into Amy Winehouse's Death Illegal?!
Amy Winehouse's life had its fill of controversy, and now so too does her death.
British officials are currently debating the legality of the inquest into the late Grammy winner's passing after it was revealed that the coroner in charge of conducting the singer's inquest was woefully unqualified for the job.
So, what does this mean? Could Amy's cause of death change and the investigation get reopened?
Fran Drescher Believes She Was Abducted by Aliens...Seriously!

And she was being serious, no cackle laughs involved.
Did Kelsey Grammer Really Shoot a Camille Grammer Look-Alike on 30 Rock?!
Kelsey Grammer has enjoyed incredibly good fortune lately—but did he just cross a line, with the help of 30 Rock?
On last night's episode, which was already drawing plenty of attention for its spoof of Tracy Morgan's off-camera issues, Grammer was featured in a parody of a James Bond intro, in which he prances around with a martini glass, etc., and shoots an evening-gown-wearing blond woman with his smokin' hot silhouetted pistol finger.
Who, viewers immeditately determined, looked an awful lot like the Boss star's ex-wife, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer.
Coincidence?
