Reunited and it feels so good
So now that it looks like Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are actually back together, what's changed? According to sources, Jen asked the music man to be less messy, try to cut back on the chain smoking and drinking, and to stop blogging about their personal life. He's also apparently written her a love song. They did not get back together, according to her publicist, due to a pregnancy.

Got'cha last!
Apparently country artist Brad Paisley is quite the prankster and Jewel was his victim on more than one occasion on his recent tour. Well, the Alaskan songstress got her revenge last week when Brad was arrested immediately upon disembarking from his plane in Nashville, put into handcuffs and hustled into a police car to his protests of, "I've never done anything wrong in my life!!". Upon learning that the whole thing was set up by Jewel, he was a good sport about it and responded, "this is the best I've ever been had".

What's the point if you can't brag?
Remember a couple months ago when those racy pictures of underage popstar Miley Cyrus hit the internet after allegedly being stolen from her personal email and MySpace accounts? This week the FBI raided the home of the 19 year old computer hacker who was responsible. So how did they catch him? He bragged about it, of course. He posted about the deed on internet discussion boards, commenting that he'd never get caught.

Oops.

"Movie star car for auction, may need some body work"
Movie memorabilia has become a big business. Just ask the guy who shelled out over a third of a million dollars for an Aston Martin from the upcoming James Bond movie. The only catch? You won't see the buyer tooling around in the super-spy's ride anytime soon. The vehicle was wrecked during production.

By the way, the $350,000 price tag for the totaled sedan is about $120,000 more than a shiny new Aston Martin would cost.
