The Cameron Diaz Effect: Is She Helping A-Rod's Game?

Alex Rodriguez has a new blonde for a new season. The Yankee slugger was caught nesting at the Liberty Hotel in Boston with new gal pal Cameron Diaz this week. The pair apparently spent their time nestled in their penthouse suite ordering room service, according to PEOPLE. Cameron is the latest in a string of high profile lady friends for A-Rod, who told me in my story for Gotham only a ...

From Golden Girl To It Girl: Betty White Has Become Marketing Magic

Posted May 11th 2010 at 10:00 AM by Jo Piazza

It's time to coin the term the "Betty White Effect." Sure, it might not be up there just yet with the kind of one-two punch that Oprah can lend to a product or program, but it seems that nothing is hotter than Betty White right now, and that means a lot of people want to capitalize by using this golden girl as their golden ticket. A source close to Betty tells me her phone has been ringing off ...

Let's Hear It For the Boys: A Few Good Hollywood Men Who Stay Faithful

Posted May 9th 2010 at 12:00 PM by Jo Piazza

Watching the video of Katie Holmes serenading Tom Cruise with 'What Lola Wants' over breakfast this morning, I couldn't help but be a little creeped out. But after the initial bouts of oversharing-anxiety passed, I thought about what a lovely couple these two make and how nice it is to see a husband and wife in Hollywood actually in love for a change. You just know Tom isn't going to pull a ...

Delany is waiting to find out if her new show, 'Body of Proof,' will be picked up, but she isn't closing any doors to Wisteria Lane.

Have you ever watched 'Sex and the City' and thought about how you and Carrie Bradshaw would totally have been BFF if only you had met in high school? Well, now you can meet the 17-year-old Carrie in Candace Bushnell's new young adult novel, 'The Carrie Diaries.' But this Carrie is a little different from the one we fell in love with on TV and the big screen. Bushnell doesn't bother sticking to ...

How Sandra Bullock Kept Her Biggest Secret

Posted Apr 28th 2010 at 12:45 PM by Jo Piazza

We media scoundrels think we're know-it-alls. But Sandra Bullock proved us wrong this week when the actress we have all been paying so much attention to for the past month appeared on the cover of PEOPLE magazine with her new baby boy Louis Bardo Bullock -- who she adopted in January. Yeah, do the math. That's three months ago! With all the scrutiny surrounding Sandy's marriage, how did we ...

Hollywood Investments: Why Lindsay Lohan Is So Unbankable

Posted Apr 26th 2010 at 12:52 PM by Jo Piazza

Lindsay Lohan was dropped from 'The Other Side' last week after the film's financial backers deemed her "unbankable," a sterile way of saying poor Linds has become, plain and simple, a bad investment. How has a girl once compared to a young Jodie Foster and able to generate a 300 percent return on investment for a movie as bad as 'Herbie Fully Loaded' become box office kryptonite? By making ...
