Crooner Nick Lachey is over Jessica Simpson and ready to get on with his life.

“It’s a huge part of my life,” Lachey acknowledged. “But for me, personally and professionally, it’s time to move on.”

It’s not hard to believe. In some ways you could argue that he and Jessica pimped their marriage out for fame.

Another argument is that most marriages in the US only last 3 threes before divorce so they were smart to take the money and fame.

Who’s right? Time will tell. Or not.

The Madman of the Moonwalk has been dragged into court again. Despite what uninformed Michael Jackson Zombie Fan Club members say, there’s mounting evidence that the King of Flop is in a downward death-spiral to the celebrity boneyard. His popularity is fading faster than a turd going down a freshly-flushed gurgler and he’s in hock up to his eyeballs.

Even the Russians are up in arms, as the latest issue of Pravda mentions Jackson’s newest lawsuit, where it’s alleged that he owes $3.8 million to F. Marc Schaffel for videos they made together.

Those productions were intended to rehabilitate Jackson’s image after the airing of a damaging documentary in which he said he shared his bed in a nonsexual way with children.

So, despite what certain fans may claim, it’s VERY EXPENSIVE to have to defend yourself from serious criminal and civil charges all the time. MJ spends a lot more than the average entertainer on lawyers, and the negative press has eroded his fan-base severely since his peak 20 years ago. These constant charges can’t be good for business.

Worse yet for his fame: the world has moved on from his sickening sweet style of Pop music. The chance of his making even a minor comeback is nearly impossible, IMHO.

I’m not sure what the crowd expected. They jeered at the New Edition Reunion Tour when a shirtless Bobby Brown started dancing to “My Perogative”. Maybe it dawned on them just how stupid they felt for dishing out hard-earned cash to see a guy who hasn’t been able to squeeze off a hit in two decades.

“My Perogative” was a big hit in 1985. By 2006, things are surreal:

As the other five members carefully stepped in time to the prepared choreography, Brown ran around the stage wildly and performed raunchy dance moves, reports the Associated Press.

So basically he’s insane. The other members stayed in step, but BB danced “wildly” and raunchily. He’s lucky he didn’t get his chain robbed by an angry fan after that. People, next time your instincts tell you to stay at home, just listen. We don’t want to encourage any more New Edition reunions if we can avoid them.

Keira Knightley says she’s no anorexic, despite the fact she’s awfully skinny.

Still, she said there’s nothing to worry about. “I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia – my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it,” Knightley said. “I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t.”

I guess the case is closed. What do you really have to go on? She says she isn’t, and I’ve never seen her puke up a meal, so we’ll just have to let the issue go.

Jessica Simpson was getting hot and heavy in a photo shoot but her mom abruptly called it off:

“Tina said the pose was too risque and made Jessica look slutty.

And? This isn’t the first time Jessica has dressed slutty. Joe couldn’t care less. He just wants the cash.

Personally, I think Jessica ought to fire her mom and dress how her heart tells her to.

People had yet another one of their thought provocative posts today. They named 10 things to love about Johnny Depp.

They missed number 11 so I’ll add it.

11) His elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top floor.

Truly, I find his insanity to be his most endearing feature. Don’t you?

The 7 time Tour De France winner Lance Armstrong is still on the mind of his old flame, Sheryl Crow. The couple split up after being engaged.

Crow tells Vanity Fair in its August issue, “I do think about Lance every day. And I think about his kids every day.” Armstrong is dad to Luke, 6, and twins Isabella and Grace, 4.

I see few clues in this statement as to the motive behind their breakup, and this typically lousy story from People (quoting Vanity Fair for God’s sake) has brought me no closer to the truth.

Pink is scary. Now that’s a strange sentence, but totally accurate. I normally don’t get too frightened of most people, but Pink is the one Hollywood celebrity I’d hate to “mix it up” with.

You can tell she fights dirty. I bet she’d bite ya some place sensitive if you weren’t careful.

Pink is currently touring the US on here “I’m not Dead” tour.

The pic is from her performance on the Today show. I suggest you watch your step when talking to Pink.

I just can’t help wondering.

Do they make their own outfits? It looks like they just might.

They’ve developed their own sort of “neo-Hippie” look that reallys makes you go “Hmmmm”.

Are they the latest child stars to wig out?

Looks like we have another controversy to add to the burning embers of MJ’s career. Bizarre allegations are nothing new for the King of Flop. All of the latest allegations involve his dealings with Marc Schaffel, who is suing the entertainer for $3.8 million.

A taped phone message not yet played in court is said to reveal Jackson telling an associate: “Get me two boys, no, get me a girl and a boy.” Says one source, “It sounds like someone asking you to run down to the store and get ice cream.”

The way you and I would order ice cream. Except he wasn’t ordering ice cream at all. He was ORDERING SMALL BRAZILIAN CHILDREN. What, praytell, would be the reason for that?

You would think a guy with a really bad image problem would lighten up on ordering kids. These allegations continue to haunt the man as he embarks on a nearly impossible comeback trail. Michael Jackson releasing a hit CD right now would be the equivalent of Babe Ruth coming back to life and getting his homerun record back from Bobby Bonds. It ain’t likely to happen.

If anyone in the worlds is still advising this guy, please tell him to get back to Moonwalking, and forget the obsession with kids.

Other allegations coming out right now are concerned with Marc Schaffel and whether MJ knew he was a producer of Gay porn films. Jackson claims he didn’t know, but Schaffel said he clearly did. This fight over money is revealing ever more tawdry allegations, and it’s likely none of this can be good news for the embattled entertainer.
