(Learning's cool and stuff ... but not as cool as my banking account!)

Can’t figure why Mischa Barton went blonde? The answer! And how it influenced her to say: “I don’t think I need college anymore.”

It’s painted-on abs for Jake Gyllenhaal in 2010’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, but we’re glad to see he’s even dirtier then the men in 300. Prim Reese Witherspoon kindly pays a visit, likely to deliver triangle-cut bologna sandwiches to her son boyfriend.

People’s $14 million Brangelina cover made only $6 million. Twins, you just weren’t beautiful enough.

Lynne Spears offers tips on how to raise your children to be just like her daughters, Britney and Jamie-Lynn. Please preorder your copy of Through the Storm to find out how she weathered it.

It’s August: Leonardo DiCaprio and BFF agree on “the best play you’ll ever see.”

Matthew McConaughey dons a spring wetsuit and shows off his surf squats. Little Levi remains unimpressed.

Shafted: Isaac Hayes, 65, has passed, leaving behind an archive of matchless soul music and a humble performance in Hustle & Flow that will always be memorable to me.

(There's another Brad Pitt ... and he's got an accent!)

“Mate, I’ve been living with that other bloke’s name for years, it doesn’t worry me at all.”

– Brad Pitt, the 25-year-old Australian boxer that’s busy competing in the Olympics right now.

The Brad Pitt that you’re used to fawning over is a Sagittarius, while the more puerile Brad is a Scorpio (superintense, grrr). According to his profile on Australia’s Olympics site, his favorite band is (the horribly common) Red Hot Chili Peppers, but! Like other Brad, he does have tattoos. Four of them, one including the Spanish phrase for: “He conquers who conquers himself.”

He punctuated his interview with Australia’s Herald Sun with: “I’ve always been Brad. Let him change his name.”

Such big hullabaloo over this reprise of Beverly Hills, 90210, aptly called 90210. However, I haven’t heard much about the core cast (or maybe I have, and I’ve just been bored), but I have heard ad nauseum how “excited” and “thrilled” Tori Spelling is to return as Donna Martin: clothing store owner.

Then there was a bit of news that Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were getting a piece, too. (We bet Megan Fox forbade fiancé Brian Austin Green from jumping in that pool of nekked nobody-tykes.)

Then, whoa! Scandal! Tori caught wind of some monetary inequality! While Tori was offered between $10,000-$20,000 per episode, Jennie and Shannen were getting something like $35,000-$50,000.

Naturally, Tori tried for the same Kelly-and-Brenda sum, and the producers laughed in her face. Now Tori has vanished from the series! What will the new breed of 90210 do without shop owner Donna Martin?!

Hubby Tommy Lee won’t quit his carnivorous habits — not even for his big-breasted, carrot-chomping vegetarian wife Pamela Anderson. In fact, he rubs the meat in her face:

“There’s been two times now, where I’ve driven by In-N-Out, and I’m like, ‘Pull the damn car over, I need a triple-triple, dude.’”

(I get mine, only a double-double, animal-style.)

If she’s lost her taste for divorce, Pamela will have to lobby for animal rights without her better half. For a boost, she can always hit up The Abbey in West Hollywood, like she did last night, where the randy boys of Boystown would do anything for her — maybe even quit meat.

(Work for my vote, men. You better.)

The line between politics and celebrity is blurred again. I’m sure there is a frazzled intern on each camp — Obama’s and McCain’s — romancing the heck out of Angelina Jolie. What would an Angelina Jolie endorsement do, no can tell …

But the registered Independent is decidedly undecided. Folks assume that the poli-savvy half of Brangelina is pro Barack, but before she tattoos any man’s name on her body again, she wants to hear what each candidate’s commitments are to the following:

1. International justice.
2. Refugees.
3. How to address the needs of children in crisis.

Each candidate’s big-time speeches should make it simple for the celebrity that America is most bewildered by; a section of each speech should be dedicated and announced as: A Monologue to Angelina Jolie.

Don’t make her work for your vote.

(Hayden, you didn't let your hair down like you promised.)

Because Eva is embracing her newly shorn Mom bob and Hayden keeps pinning hers back certainly isn’t cause for Hayden’s Pops to get all domestically violent with his Missus. Well, something happened …

Last night, all Hayden wanted to do was save the whales. It’s all her boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia hears about: whale, whale, wail. Aside from her restaurant Beso as the hosting grounds, why Eva Longoria is involved is undoubtedly peculiar because she’s all about basketball and Posh Beckham.

Well, the fete was a hoot. The Whaleman Foundation Benefit got a bit of affection from the following: hairdresser Ken Paves, Shia LaBeouf’s accident sidekick Isabel Lucas, Zach Braff’s boytoy Donald Faison and the Bachelor with his own personal website Bob Guiney.

Yet when the party shoes were kicked off, Alan Panettiere’s palm got to smacking the face of the mother of his TV star daughter. Because she “disrespected” him. Lady’s got an ice pack; man’s got the bracelets.

(Hayden's mother: Lesley "Bitchslapped" Vogel.)

It’s always interesting to find out how the boyfriend of the girl whose mother got slapped by her husband does in a kerfuffle like this …

Update! Dad’s out on $50,000 bail! Forever a wife-beater though.
