The Weekly Fluff

How can it be possible that The Gossip World – this week – is even fluffier than a regular week? It's so, though. And when the snark and whispers and shouts which/that slither through the tabloids (and any site where private dirt on any Public Figure can be found), are concerning, focusing on, the same names on the same turf, you know it is REALLY BORING out there. My job today, as I see it, is to give you all a brief rundown of what's in the Offering Box for salacious or partially harmless info on The Stars & Others – and quickly make an exit before virtual tomatoes are thrown in my direction for posting such dreck.

Let's begin with this wonderful nugget: Tom Cruise is looking all post-divorce sad whenever a camera is placed by his face these days. He's all alone and may or may not have been with his daughter, Suri, for Thanksgiving, and may or may not be treating her to more rides at Disney World for Christmas. He wore jeans to a film opening. Gasp.

Leann Rimes is still denying she's crazy. Taylor Swift is pretending to be having a Real Romance with Harry Styles of One Direction when – psst – it might all be for PR and nothing else. CNN may try to hire Ann Curry away from her toxic NBC contract now that former NBC "Head" Jeff Zucker will be in charge of the Big Decisions there. Everyone still hates Matt Lauer and say he's going to be out of his cushy job by Feb or April of next year.

Some people are saying that Beyoncé doesn't know how to talk. Who cares? She looks nice, sings well, and has a rich husband just as rich as she. Plus, at least her Special Baby will understand what she's saying one day. Geez. Someone has to, I guess, according to some people who have talk shows and might be jealous… Jessica Simpson is preggers again, but you knew that.

Lindsay Low-Hand. That's all I need to write.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie haven't been photographed together anywhere in months. This obviously means they aren't together any more and the entire marriage thing is just for PR for two waning Movie Stars. Or not. Whereas, Strangest Couple On Earth, newlyweds Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake, actually have been seen in public together walking on a street in halfway decent clothing.

Jennifer Aniston's womb remains a continuing fascination for editors and fans who haven't been able to let "Rachel" go and still wish she was married to Brad Pitt. Jennifer's man, Justin Theroux, is called a "gigolo" by detractors because he doesn't make as much money as Jennifer. Poor guy. He left his beloved city, New York/Manhattan, for Beverly Hills. He shaved his beard, whitened his teeth, spray-tanned himself into Red Carpet Appropriateness all for the love of money? Nah. Who does that kind of thing, anyway?

Al Pacino supposedly doesn't shower anymore.

Half of Hollywood is gay and most of the marriages are fake.

Half of Congress is repressed and most of their sex comes from prostitutes. Or so they don't say.

We are reminded at every turn that Rihanna is from Barbados as if that is the excuse for why she is such a "loose" kinda gal.

Ashley Judd is a Germaphobe, so how could she handle running for Mitch McConnell's Senate Seat when so many hands have to be touched during campaigns? Regardless, she's apparently leading in the polls for someone in Kentucky who looks and speaks like a human to represent them in Washington – although Judd has not declared her candidacy.

Tom Cruise looks sad. Oh, I already wrote about that, didn't I?

Time to fluff-out. Have a great day/afternoon/evening/middle-of-the-night – and thanks for stopping by!
