And . . . Beyonce Needs To Let. It. Go.

* So, Mel Gibson went on the "Tonight Show" and confessed what we already knew: His piece on the side is preggers, joking "I guess that makes me 'Octo-Mel.'" But according to People claims, "This has nothing to do with the divorce. Mel didn't even know Oksana was pregnant when they filed." Riiiigghhht. He also says he "is still friends with his wife." Translation: She's keeping her mouth shut until the check from the divorce settlement clears.

* Kris Allen's upset victory on "American Idol" has a whole lot of Adam Lambert fans up in arms. But the biggest hater being the one, the only, the irrelevant ... Clay Aiken. Aiken went on a "bitter, party of one" tirade about Lambert (he does realize Adam lost, right?) that lasted around 3,000 words on his membership-only website, (all for the low, low price of $29.95/year). We can't help but wonder if his bitchiness is because Idol producers recently did everything they could to crush Aiken's dream of doing a duet with Lambert. Hm, you think? But frankly, we're still stuck on the fact that the irate and defensive Claymates in Iowa who think "he's not gay, he just hasn't met the right woman yet," are willing to pay out that kind of cash for his musings.

* Hayden Panettiere showed off her new tattoo on the left side of her back while enjoying the sun in Cannes, but there's a slight problem---it's spelled wrong! The tattoo is supposed to say "Vivere senza rimpianti," which means "live without regrets" in Italian. Instead, there is an extra "i" in the last word and it says "rimipianti." According to our limited knowledge of Italian, Hayden's misspelled tattoo now means: "I am a moron."

* For the three of you who thought TLC would pull the fifth season of its "Jon & Kate Plus 8" juggernaut in the wake of Jon and Kate Gosselin's marital implosion---please. To squeeze out another 24 episodes from the debacle they call family life, the couple is letting the cable network tape their marriage counseling sessions. Then making their children wear top hats and tap dance because once you start exploiting, you just can't stop!

* While partying in Cannes this weekend, Paris Hilton tried to charge clubs $100,000 to make a personal appearance. But, it turns out she's not the same draw she used to be since no one was whipping out their checkbook. We have a feeling they'd have been more likely to pony up the cash if she promised to just go. Away.

* First Kevin Bacon was swindled by Bernie Madoff, then saw his iconic role in Footloose go to lightweight Chance Crawford. Now, continuing his streak of bad luck, the actor was robbed of his Blackberry in NYC though he chased after the thief--that dancing and leaping montage must have slowed him down. Bacon will probably never get his crackberry back, but the crook will likely never lose a game of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" again.

* Beyonce is so determined to win an Oscar she keeps a painting of the curvy gold statuette at the gym so that she's literally running toward her goal. An alter ego. Obsessive tendencies. Delusions of grandeur. Yep, the signs are clear. She Crazy!
