Bill Menzel/FOX
First Jay-Z brings his A-game. Then the Glee club knocks it outta the park. And that's just the World Series. There's also a Super Bowl stadium's worth of Prince strutting, Bono crooning and Janet Jackson-ing.
There oughta be a word for when a sporting event's entertainment outshines the athletic action. So enter your ideas into the Celebrity Addictionary widget below and your term could be Word of the Day. As you can see, we're already fond of Sheila K.'s Jock Block.
Don't get us wrong, we loves us some Jeter and Manning brothers—but it's sorta hard to top a wardrobe malfunction.

Celebrity Addictionary: Threesome's a Charm?
NBC
From Claire's love triangle on Heroes to Gossip Girl's mystery threesome, TV shows appear to be fond of pulling a triple play to firm up flagging ratings. And there oughta be a word for that.
So join the wordie social going on at Celebrity Addictionary and add your idea to the widget below.
Our current user faves are SFF's menage a faux pas and joeynickel's hump-the-shark.
But there's always room for a third.
Is Megan Your Favorite Fox?

We know Megan is one Fox who lives up to her last name. But is she the Foxiest of all the Foxes? More important, is she your favorite Fox?
After all, the annals of entertainment are full of fab Foxes, from TV's Matthew and Michael J., to literature's The Fantastic Mr. Fox—whose title character will be voiced by George Clooney in the feature film adaptation this fall.
So, which Fox rocks your socks off?
________
While Mr. Fox may be Fantastic, we bet he doesn't want to eat Robert Pattinson. Point for Megan!
Will the Real Kristen Stewart Please Stand Up?
Flynet; Bauer-Griffin
You gotta love these side-by-side snaps of Twilight darling Kristen Stewart. We mean, is that even the same girl? We adore K's ability to transform herself—some say it's the hallmark of a real actor.
But enough about our opinions. What do you think? Do you like your K.Stew all vamped up or fresh-faced and carefree? Or both? Vote and sound off in our Who's Cuter Without Makeup? gallery!
Jennifer Aniston Is a Dog's Best Friend
INFdaily.com
Like the Friends theme song goes, she'll be there for you.
In a PawNation poll, 70 percent of animal lovers voted Jennifer Aniston as the celeb they would trust to pet sit their furry friend. We imagine her dogs, Dolly and Norman, agree.
Mickey Rourke placed a distant second in that category, but his beloved Chihuahua Loki was selected as the celeb pet's passing that readers mourned the most, followed closely by Oprah's cocker spaniel Sophie, Tori Spelling's pug Mimi LaRue and Michael Jackson's chimp Bubbles.
And in a surprise upset, Bo Obama placed third in Favorite Presidential Pet, bested by Millie Bush and Socks Clinton (a neck-and-neck No. 1 and No. 2, respectively). We're guessing that this was before the microphone incident.

Who's Cuter Without Makeup?

Between retouched photos in the glossy rags and luxe cosmetics on the red carpet, it's hard to know who in Hollywood is a real looker. Thank heavens for candid paparazzi pics, right?
With that in mind, we've assembled some comparison shots to highlight the natural beauties—and those who need a little extra help. Scan our snaps and vote in our Who's Cuter Without Makeup gallery!
Giving Praise to Hollywood's Real Party Animals

Sit. Stay. Speak. Celebs are commanded to do all kinds of weird things. Is it any wonder they often seek solace in the arms, er, legs of furry or fine-feathered friends?
Call it puppy love, cat scratch fever, what have you—stars are definitely crazy about their animal companions. See for yourself in our Very Important Pets gallery!
Casting Call: Looking for Michael Phelps

As the Summer Olympics heat up, we can't help but wonder if Hollywood might make a biopic or two about some of Beijing's A-list athletes.
While it's kinda obvs Brad Pitt would play Australian boxer Brad Pitt, we're more concerned with who'd play Team USA's record-breaking, 10-time medal-winning, all-around cutie Michael Phelps.
With his boy-next-door, all-American good looks, we proudly put our favorite Office employee, John Krasinski, on the podium.
What do you think? Are there other Tinseltown-Olympic look-alikes? Go for the gold in the comments!
Ben Affleck's Great Sense of Style
We've often thought of Ben Affleck as being like our neighbor's golden retreiver Sandy: a cheery, dependable lunk, but not too bright. Sort of like a much nicer version of his Dazed and Confused character, O'Bannion.
So imagine our surprise when we see ol' Benny in the August issue of O magazine, listing what books made a difference to him, and choosing Strunk & White's classic writing how-to, The Elements of Style.
It's cute and refreshing for an A-lister like Affleck to give props to the old standard, when most of H'wood believes The Elements of Style is Tim Gunn's new tome and good grammar refers to Kelsey Grammer's Emmy awards.
On behalf of copy editors and English teachers everywhere, thanks for caring and sharing, Ben!
