Pete Burns' Lips: Dead, but Fiscally Recoupable

Dead or Alive singer and U.K. reality, um, star Pete Burns apparently has standards.

The walking train wreck, who has spent thousands and thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures, has reportedly won his case against the "doctor" who injected polyacrylamide into his lips...with horrifying results. Burns had always looked like a cross between Cher and Marilyn Manson; now he looked like Cher, Manson and Jocelyn Wildestein. And that, my friends, was not the look he was going for.

Tara's rules of engagement

In the game of love, or even lust, many of us are losers, even those of us who are successful in all other aspects of our lives.  Maybe we have everything else, the perfect job, the nurturing home and family life, and tons of great friends; but for some reason we just can't seem to find that ideal partner who so many of us crave.

William Shatner Rails Against George Takei

William Shatner is positively bitchy in a video that finds him attacking George Takei, questioning his former Star Trek castmate's mental state and saying he feels nothing but pity for him. The Klingons were never even this brutal. It's crazy!

As everyone knows, Takei isn't a big fan of Shatner's. In fact, when the openly gay Takei, who played Mr. Sulu on Star Trek, got hitched to his longtime partner Brad Altman last month, it was reported that he made it a point to let the world know that Captain Kirk wouldn't be beaming in for the ceremony because he wasn't invited. Oh, but Takei did make sure to invite the rest of the Star Trek gang, including Mr. Spock.

Apparently, the diss got to Shatner, who made and posted a video on his site TheShatnerProject.com and YouTube in which an unidentified woman interviews him about the rift between him and Takei, and Shatner goes off.

An Update On Gale Harold's Condition

An update on Gale Harold's condition: Over the weekend, the Associated Press reported that the actor remains under observation in the intensive care unit at Los Angeles County USC Medical Center, but his condition is improving, and he will be moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center when a bed opens up. So, thankfully, it sounds like Gale is on the road to recovery.

As we previously reported, Gale was hospitalized after a motorcycle accident last Tuesday. He suffered swelling on the brain and a fractured shoulder.

The outpouring of support from all of you has been tremendous.  By the way -- read your comments here -- you guys really banded together on this one.
