--The latest actress who had to gain weight for a role is Salma Hayek for Ask the Dust. She felt real trepidation about doing a love scene with Colin Farrell weighing roughly the same as an average American woman. Thankfully Colin only gazed into her eyes during the scene so she didn’t have to feel like a fat cow. [Digital Spy]

--Omigod!! Former season 2 Apprentice wannabe Raj Bhakta is running for Congress. I wonder if Donald Trump seeded his campaign? Or maybe he sold his collection of bow ties on Ebay. [TMZ]

--Hilary Duff is a classy pop princess and not a public love life bulimic like Ashlee Simpson and Lindsay Lohan. Yeah, she just dates an ex-alcoholic heavily tattooed musician who she’s always photographed with and chatting about in the press. "They don't accept me as his girlfriend because he [Joel Madden] doesn't look as perfect as I do - but I don't really care." Hmm...that sounds really bitchy, Hil. [Female First]

--The newest Bachelor couple is splitsville--like we care. But Dr. Travis Stork and Sarah Stone will always have Paris. Really? I would never show my face there again if I were they. [CBS]

--Gorgeous Uma Thurman and Andre Balazs are also splitsville, but we actually care. Guys everywhere are thankful. [Page Six]

--Kylie Minogue is going to write a children's book based on her rise to fame, and it already has a title: The Showgirl Princess. Hmm...that sounds kind of queenish to me. [Digital Spy]
