Keith Richards by Kevin Mazur/WireImage.com
The grizzled remains of Rolling Stone Keith Richards are hard at work on a memoir, to be published by Little Brown and Co. in 2010. Doing the actual writing of the account of his wild-'n'-crazy life on the road is White Mischief author James Fox. In other music news, Marilyn Manson is being sued by his keyboard player Stephen "Pogo" Bier for nonpayment. Instead of taking care of business, the synth whiz alleges, the weirdo rocker spent his dough on "sick and disturbing... Nazi memorabilia and taxidermy [including the skeleton of a young Chinese girl]".

A rep for Evan Rachel Wood scoffs at talk that the 19-year-old's love scene with beau Marilyn Manson featured in the video for "Heart-shaped Glasses" was the, um, real deal, telling the New York Daily News, "It's called acting." Whew.... Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox will lend their likenesses and voices to Transformers: The Game, a next-gen title based on the upcoming film.... FX ponied up some $30 mil for rights to Ghost Rider, Premonition, Underworld: Evolution and The Grudge 2.... Night at the Museum last week topped the DVD rental chart for a third straight time, while Because I Said So was the No. 1 seller. Really? Because I Said So? Really? Oh, Mother's Day. Gotcha.

Henry Rollins
Talk shows have been around since the advent of television broadcasting, but there's never been one quite like The Henry Rollins Show. Provocative, confrontational and seemingly unable to pull his punches, Henry Rollins returns to the IFC this Friday, April 13 (at 11 pm/ET), to begin his second season, accompanied by guest Marilyn Manson. To mark the occasion, IFC is preceding the premiere at 9:30 with Henry Rollins: Uncut from Israel, a documentary chronicling the former rocker's trip to Tel Aviv for a spoken-word gig. Rollins recently gave TVGuide.com a piece of his mind.
TVGuide.com: In Uncut from Israel, you say that Israel is "up against the real." Is that part

Criss Angel
David Blaine is a total hack, especially compared to Criss Angel. Although the three-time Magician of the Year winner has never romanced Fiona Apple, he's seduced celebrities such as Mandy Moore, Rob Zombie and Korn's Jonathan Davis — not to mention Goth-guy-loving gals — with his fantastical illusions, feats of endurance, adorable "Noo Yawk" accent and sexy Marilyn Manson-style wardrobe (thankfully accessorized by a much hotter face and body than the shock rocker). Last year marked the debut of his riveting A&E reality show

So You Think You Can Dance host Cat Deeley
Say what you will about So You Think You Can Dance's unwieldy title. Fact is, the Fox reality competition was a ratings success during its premiere incarnation, and as such is back for an encore starting tonight at 8 pm/ET. (The contest then continues Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9.) What's new and exciting for Season 2? For one, the dance-off is now hosted by British TV personality Cat Deeley, whom TVGuide.com recently gave a ring.
TVGuide.com: Is it now an official requirement that every American reality program feature at least one British accent?
Cat Deeley: [Laughs] Somebody has to give it all a bit of authority, Matt! No, I don't think its absolutely required, bu

Florence Henderson
For the millions of us raised on a steady diet of reruns, Florence Henderson, aka Carol Brady, will forever be our surrogate mom. Even the B-list celebrities trapped on the new edition of VH1's The Surreal Life (Sundays at 9 pm/ET) got all gooey the minute she walked through the door. But Henderson isn't there to mother them. A trained hypnotherapist, she signed on as the house's on-call counselor, and judging from the drama of the previous seasons — not to mention the tempestuous pasts (sex changes, drugs and rock 'n' roll) of the current cast — Dr. Flo's guidance will be sorely needed.
TVGuide.com: Hello, Florence? Are you there? Florence Henderson: Sorry, I'm having trouble with this speakerphone. [Fumbling sou

Everybody Hates ChrisJust when I was thinking that Chris' little sister Tanya was the reincarnation of Dee from What's Happening!! (yes, the official title really has two exclamation points), Chris came out of the changing room wearing his Rerun outfit. It was picture day, and he was desperately shopping for the right ensemble. He looked pretty fresh in the Don King, covered from head to toe in red. (Actually it looked like what Marilyn Manson wore on the back cover of The Golden Age of Grotesque. Look it up.) But ultimately, he settled on a less flashy suede top. I love what Julius said when Chris insisted he needed special clothes. "When I was a kid, we didn't have special clothes. Just having clothes was special." He always has to on

Charmed sorceress Rose McGowan was handcuffed and booted from a T-mobile bash Tuesday night in Hollywood after getting into a scuffle with a security guard. McGowan's rep claims that the guard was "standing uncomfortably close to her" on the dance floor, causing his client to flip out. Witnesses say they haven't seen McGowan that spooked since the time she accidentally opened her eyes during sex with Marilyn Manson.
