I always have wondered what it's like to swap kisses with Katy Perry. It's the kind of thing a guy does in his spare time sitting in the makeup chair getting bronzer and eye concealer put on his face.

Along with a couple hundred fortunate souls, I rode a time machine back to the '80s on Wednesday night in Hollywood.

If Jersey Shore's Angelina Pavarnick has her way she might put celebrity gossip reporters out of business!

And now Angelina has informed me exclusively that she wants to put an end to home-wrecking and divorces.
