•  Nicole Kidman has some choice words to say about her marriage to Tom Cruise, admitting she felt she "became a star only by association" to her Top Gun husband. "I felt it was my job to be seen and not heard." Sizzle!

•  Jay-Z thinks performing with Kelly Clarkson was a "stupid cool" match made in heaven.

•  Shoot-'em-up dudes Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie are pairing up…to become the next hottest song-and-dance team. Take that, Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman!

•  Jewel thinks injured Melissa Rycroft should quit her whining and bail on Dancing With the Stars so her husband, Ty Murray, can stay in the competition. She's just not saying it.

•  Andy Samberg had a real-life Monopoly moment with a bank error in his favor, only he collected a lot more than $200.

•  Dear Dennis Hof: Since he can't do I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, it was so sweet of you to offer Rod Blagojevich an apprenticeship at the Bunny Ranch and a spot on HBO's Cathouse. Love, Rise 'n' Shine

It's a swing and a miss for Justin Timberlake in the Big Picture gallery. Oh, wait. Wrong sport.
