Perez Hilton, Carrie Prejean
Miss California says she has no regrets about her statement against gay marriage when Miss USA judge and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton asked her about the hot topic. But she does admit it hurt her chances for the crown.
Carrie Prejean, who was runner-up to winner Miss North Carolina, Kristen Dalton, in Sunday's pageant, told Fox News her stomach sank when she first heard she had picked Hilton's question. "I had a gut feeling. I knew he was controversial, and so was the question. Out of all the topics I studied up on, I dreaded that one, I prayed I would not be asked about gay marriage. If I had any other question, I know I would have won."
The beauty queen insisted she wasn't going to give a politically correct answer just because she was on national television (click here to watch). As for sticking to her beliefs, Prejean told Billy Bush, "I feel like I won ...

Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett
Farrah Fawcett's cancer battle didn't stand in the way of throwing a birthday celebration for her longtime partner Ryan O'Neal.
Fawcett hosted the party at her home Monday, the actress' friend Alana Stewart told People. Stewart also cleared up the belief that Fawcett only weighs 86 pounds after her son, Redmond O'Neal, suggested as much during a hearing for drug charges last week.
"Farrah is not 86 pounds," Stewart said. "Redmond is young and overreacted a little. Farrah has lost weight, but not that much. No, no, no."
Instead, Stewart says Fawcett is in good spirits ...

Michael Munoz and Mark Munoz
It seemed inevitable that stuntmen/brothers Mark and Michael Munoz would get the boot on this week's Amazing Race, seeing as they started the leg with a three-hour-plus penalty that appeared impossible to overcome.

Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian has a big bone to pick with Us Weekly after it ran a story she says implied she's plus-sized.
In the story, the magazine announces that bargain clothing store Forever 21 is launching a new line of clothing for "fuller-figured fashionistas" called Faith 21. And guess whose face is slapped up right next to the designs that tout fashions "ranging from XL to 2XL"?
Kardashian, who was less than thrilled to see her name and picture associated with the new line, took to her blog to clear up any misconceptions.
"I feel that this clipping ...

Ron Howard
After the fallout surrounding The Da Vinci Code, director Ron Howard is trying to get ahead of any criticism that his latest film, Angels & Demons, is anti-Catholic.
"Let me be clear: Neither I nor Angels & Demons are anti-Catholic," Howard wrote on the Huffington Post. He also suggested that Catholics who give his movie a chance will find something to like. "I believe Catholics, including most in the hierarchy of the Church, will enjoy the movie for what it is: an exciting mystery, set in the awe-inspiring beauty of Rome."
The flick again stars Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of symbology who tries to track down the mysterious Illuminati, a group that has killed the four Cardinals in line to become the next pope. "Robert Langdon teams up with the Catholic Church to thwart a vicious attack against the Vatican. What, exactly, is anti-Catholic about that?" Howard wrote.
The Pope banned....

William Petersen
CSI fans take heart: A feature-length movie is in the cards, and it's definitely going to involve Gil Grissom, according to William Petersen.
"Yes, there will be a movie," Petersen told Britain's Radio Times. Although he is sure fans might be "a little trepidatious," Petersen promises the move to the big screen will not be done haphazardly.
"Usually people leave it till a series has finished —they did that with The X-Files and Sex and the City," Petersen said. "But it's about finding the right story, there has got to be a real reason to do it."
One of those real reasons? Grissom...
