Stephen Colbert with General Ray Odierno
Stephen Colbert kicked off his week of Colbert Report tapings in Iraq by shaving his head.
Though Colbert's jokes got plenty of laughs, the loudest roar came when Gen. Ray Odierno — following a direct order pre-taped by President Barack Obama — shaved the funnyman's hair. Watch it all after the jump.

Andrew Shue
Dear Andrew Shue:
According to the New York Daily News, you don't think the CW's Melrose Place remake is a good idea. You're probably right!
That said, since I've already decided it's the most important piece of television ever, I'm feeling kind of protective of it. So back off!
You've kept busy in your post-Melrose years doing some nice work for kids and moms. Stick to that. No more of this: "Melrose Place was a great show in its time, and if I were calling the shots, I would say don't bring it back," Shue said. "Leave it as it was at its time. That's the way it should be." Yes, Billy Campbell, we wouldn't want to tarnish the memory of your tour de force acting in scenes like this one. Shakespeare in the Park it was not.
Shut yer pie hole.
Regards,
Mickey O'Connor

Bret Michaels' run-in with some scenery at the Tony Awards fractured his nose and required stitches in his lip, but the rocker was able to laugh it off.
"He told me, 'All I remember is Shrek and the donkey helping me up, and Liza [Minnelli] giving me a towel,'" Michaels' rep, Joann Mignano, told People. "And Bret was laughing when he heard [host] Neil Patrick Harris said he gave new meaning to 'headbanging.'"
The Rock of Love star was exiting the stage Sunday after performing with his band, Poison, when he was hit with a piece of scenery and knocked to the ground. The band performed a rendition of its hit, "Nothin' But a Good Time" with the cast of Rock of Ages. (Watch the video here.)
Michaels had X-Rays taken and underwent a CAT scan Monday to be on the safe side, Mignano said. "His neck ...

Adam Lambert
After months of speculation about American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert's sexuality, the rocker tells Rolling Stone he is gay and even had a crush on winner Kris Allen.

Though Lambert initially wanted to clear the air as soon as Idol ended, he said he waited ...

Tila Tequila
Tila Tequila is taking a shot at rumors... that she may or may not have started herself.
A month after reportedly posting on Twitter that she was pregnant and wanted the baby daddy to "step up," the bisexual reality star took to her MySpace Celebrity page to say, rather cryptically, that she is not currently with child. (Or maybe we should've known that already since she deleted the late-night tweets that indicated otherwise.)
"First of all....the PREGNANCY rumors....the point is ...
