Glee Star Grateful for Thanksgiving Parade Ban
Patrick Ecclesine/FOX, Istock.com
Glee's Mark Salling may have wanted to perform in this year's Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC, but he's also sorta happy that NBC decided to ban the musical television show from the annual festivities.
"I'm gonna watch it," says Salling, who plays football stud Puck. "I got no hard feelings. But I'll catch it from home in Dallas, Texas, with family, which was allowed to happen by NBC not inviting us. So I am not complaining. Thank you, NBC!"
Lea Michele, who stars on the show as Rachel Berry, also insists she'll tune in...
Glee Star: I'll Still Watch Thanksgiving Day Parade
Matthias Clamer/FOX
Just because the Glee cast was ousted from the NBC Thanksgiving Day Parade lineup doesn't mean our favorite high school singing club is holding a grudge.
Glee's main man on campus, Cory Monteith, fully intends on watching the Turkey Day parade. "No sour grapes," Monteith told us at Maxim and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 2 party. "I'm looking forward to the Jay Leno float. That will be really fun to watch."
Monteith, who plays loveable quarterback Finn Hudson on the hit Fox show, says ideas for the much-buzzed-about Madonna episode are flying…

There's a rather sexy (though often reviled) gal who's currently toying with her latest partner, perhaps in a dubious way.
Her friends are telling us not only does this ultracelebrated babe know exactly what she's doing with her most recent bedmate, but the nooky pro is qualified to start a damn website for how best to use men and women like they're the latest Prada bags, or something.
So which vet stud-eater is it? Think you're so smart, eh?

Madonna Celebrates A-Rod (and the Rest of the Yankees, Too)

Just because Madonna isn't dating A-Rod doesn't mean she can't still be a Yankees fan.
A source tells me that the Queen of Pop celebrated the Bronx Bombers' World Series win on Saturday (a day after the big NYC parade) with boyfriend Jesus Luz, Jerry Seinfeld and even one of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner's sons.
The group did some wining and dining at posh restaurant A Voce overlooking Central Park...
Glee Stars Get Ready for Madonnapalooza

Glee won't begin shooting new episodes again for a few weeks, but the cast already has Madonna on the brain.
If ya haven't heard by now, producers decided to do an all-Madonna episode after Madge recently gave them permission to use any songs from her catalog.
So which tunes are the stars hoping to sing? Read on to find out…
Madonna Breaks Ground on Not-So-Groundbreaking Malawi School

Madonna is pulling an Oprah.
As promised, the 51-year-old superstar returned to Malawi over the weekend to kick off the construction of her newest charitable endeavor, the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, by shoveling the first ceremonial mound of dirt on the center's site just outside the capital city of Lilongwe.
We knew those rock-hard biceps were being cultivated for good, not evil.
"Growing up in a privileged life, I took education for granted...but coming to Malawi has taught me a lot of things and I have learnt to appreciate what life gives," said Madonna, who was accompanied at the tree-planting launch by all four of her children.
"If this school is a success—and God willing, it will be—we will replicate it not only in Malawi but in other parts of the world as well."

Glee Star Gets to Nail Old Madonna

When Dianna Agron told us recently that she was going to be singing a Madonna song on an upcoming episode of Glee, our first hunch was "Like a Virgin."
After all, she does play pregnant high school cheerleader Quinn Fabray.
But we were wrong…
Why Does John Stamos Gotta Lie? Madonna, Too!

Why did John Stamos bother to lie about being drunk on a talk show when it was so obvious he was? And now he's confessed—why lie if you're just going to get caught?

Come now. The stars, they already give us so much—sharing their mama's Cuban chicken recipe with Us Weekly and telling us that they're wearing Galliano on the red carpet. Can't a star manipulate people in peace without you greedy fans always asking for more, more, more?
I mean it's not like stars lie about everything, just every aspect of their lives—including whoppers such as...
Madonna Sued for Shakin' Her Groove Thang?
Ever had an annoying noisy neighbor?
You know the one who plays their music way too loud and rehearses their world tour dance choreography at all hours of the night?
No? Well, you must not be fortunate enough to share an adjoining wall with Madonna. The Material Mama has allegeldy transformed her Central Park West apartment into a disruptive studio, and upstairs neighbor Karen George is suing mad.
According to the lawsuit against the building board obtained by the New York Post, "Madonna and one or more of her invited guests repeatedly dance and train...to unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music, causing noise and vibration to pour through the walls, ceilings and radiators."
The suit, filed Friday in Manhattan, states that the board has already threatened Madge with eviction if her dance sessions do not desist.
A rep for the Queen of Pop has yet to comment on the issue.

Madonna & Jesus' Dinner Cruz With Penélope

Talk about dinner under the stars.
Madonna and her much younger hottie boyfriend, Jesus Luz, were spotted just the other night having dinner at Mr. Chow on 57th Street in New York City with Penélope Cruz and her maybe-fiancé Javier Bardem.
And that's not all. Eva Mendes also joined them for the evening.
So what did the group enjoy (besides the company)? Chicken satay and Beijing duck. While most of the group sipped adult drinks, Cruz appeared to be having an alcohol-free night. "They were loud and laughing," an eyewitness tells us.
They wrapped things up after about two hours.

Link Party: Guy Ritchie Loves "Retarded" Madonna
Jason Kempin/WireImage.com
• Guy Ritchie is full of backhanded Madonna compliments in the November Esquire. "She's a manifester, if there ever was one," he says. "First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any 23-year-old, she'll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them. The woman is broad." And, of course, "I still love her. But she's retarded, too." That's sweet.
• The official New Moon running time is 2 hours and 2 minutes! Ahhh! Thank shirtless Taylor Lautner!
• Joe and Nick Jonas are planning the worst bachelor party ever for Kevin. "It will be good, clean fun," Nick says. Joe adds "It won't be in Vegas...We are thinking somewhere even cooler and better." Chuck E. Cheese!
• Jon Gosselin says he won't do anymore reality shows. But the way he says it, seems like he's planning something bigger. Noooo!
• Roman Polanski tries to explain himself to Chris Hansen.

Madonna & Lady Gaga Duke It Out in What We're Calling the Lamest SNL Sketch Ever
Seriously, Saturday Night Live?
After waiting all night for musical guest Lady Gaga to pop up in some outrageous sketch and poke fun at the headline-grabbing Kanye West (it should have been inevitable, right?), SNL decided to insert the pantsless performer into "Deep House Dish," a recurring bit that never receives more than a chuckle from viewers—audience members included!
To spice things up, Lady G was joined onstage by none other than surprise superstar Madonna, and unfortunately, herein lies the problem.
The Gaga-Madonna pair-up should have been epic and should have stolen the show from funnyman host Ryan Reynolds, but the duo simply paraded around the stage looking uncharacteristically hot in some bondage-esque getups and engaged in a fake "who's the true Queen of Pop" smackdown. Spoiler alert: Neither of them won and they ended up using the old "Madonna kisses a girl" go-to.
Our fix? Madonna and Lady Gaga perform one of their musical superhits together, and somewhere in the mix Kanye gets mocked. Just a little bit.
The one highlight of the show had to be Scarlett Johansson joining her hubby onstage—and not just because these two are rarely seen together. ScarJo revived her 2007 SNL viral-video sensation as the Jersey girl in her dad's infomercials. And this time, she's selling porcelain fountains.
