Cinematical SmartGossip: Now with Slightly Less Frivolity!
Filed under: RumorMonger, Newsstand, Cinematical's SmartGossip!
So I'm sitting here writing this week's Cinematical SmartGossip column, wondering which celebrity news items are worth mentioning, and how to fit them all in one column in a fun way. I figure I should test the gossip somehow, so I shout out some of the news to my husband, who's in the next room on his own computer."Honey, did you hear that Scary Spice is pregnant and that Eddie Murphy may be the father?" "Did you know that Lindsay Lohan wants a husband and an Oscar before she's 30?" "Hey, Jessica Simpson's going to Shreveport to film --"
"Stop it! Aaagh! What are these gossip columns doing to you?"
"I'm just trying to share interesting celebrity news with you, sweetie. Don't you want to know what's going on in the entertainment world?"
"No."
After some discussion, in which he asked me to please never tell him anything about Paris Hilton again, he pointed out that it was in fact possible to discuss less frivolous celebrity news. He even contributed a link himself, via Metafilter: You can watch Michael J. Fox's campaign ad for Claire McCaskill, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Missouri. Fox (pictured above) points out that McCaskill's opponent is against stem-cell research, which the actor, who has Parkinson's disease, wants to promote.
If you're still interested in who's hiding out in other countries, however, or want to see scary celebrity photos, I've included that news after the jump.
- Anna Nicole Smith is still surfacing in the news this week with the controversy over who fathered her new baby. She's currently ignoring requests to have baby Dannielynn's DNA tested in the States, and is remaining in the Bahamas.
- Wesley Snipes still hasn't been arrested after his indictment for tax fraud because no one knew where he was. However, TV comes to the rescue: the show "Inside Edition" claims to have found him in Namibia. No, he's not adopting a child, he's shooting a zombie movie, Gallowwalker.
- This week's Matthew McConaughey item: He and Lance Armstrong would like you to know that they're just friends who bonded after the ends of their rocky relationships with the womenfolk. I wish I had photos to share of the two of them, but only if McConaughey isn't wearing the bike shorts.
- Scary photo: Someone managed, with difficulty, to make Hilary Swank look as unsexy as possible. Wow.
- Scary photo on the opposite end of the spectrum: Amy Sedaris wearing nothing but sprinkles.
- Wait, one more photo. I love the photos. These may not be safe for work, as they feature glimpses of Sharon Stone's nipple.

Alyson Hannigan was wearing the same dress that Hilary Swank was wearing on the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother.
