Be careful who you say things in front of
Jennifer Aniston is firing back at Vogue for publishing her not-so-nice comments about Angelina Jolie recently. She said, "I was surprised that Vogue would go so tabloid". She also told Entertainment Weekly that the rumors of her being pregnant with John Mayer's baby are, "hysterical", but says that motherhood is something that she, "longs for".

Speaking of John Mayer. If you have some baking skill, check out his blog to find out how your cake baking prowess could win you an autographed guitar.

Lists, lists, and more lists
It's that time of year, time for the best of this and the worst of that from all different sources. Entertainment Weekly put out a list of "The Smartest People in TV". Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was #1 in that poll for resurrecting the show from the dead and turning it into a $1 Billion dollar empire. Tina Fey was #2 on that list. Oprah made the cut at #6. However, "O" scored a bit higher on The Hollywood Reporter's list of the most powerful women in entertainment. Most of the entries were executives, but there were a couple recognizable names, like Angelina Jolie (#24), Tyra Banks (#36), Tina Fey (#51), and the woman who only needs one name...Oprah was #1.

Talk about Karma
It looks like Boy George didn't learn his lesson about Karma, the former Culture Club singer could be spending some time in jail. A London court found him guilty of false imprisonment following an incident last year where he allegedly handcuffed an escort to the wall of his London home. The charge carries a possible sentence of life in prison. While he probably won't get that harsh of a punishment, the judge did warn him that he will likely spend some time behind bars.

Quick Hits
* Point artist Gwen Stefani is returning to her rock roots with No Doubt. Next year the band will reunite to tour and record a new album. They'll stop by the Meadowlands in the Spring.

* It looks like Rosie Live! was a failed experiment. Last Wednesday's live variety show, which could have lead to a regular series if successful, tied for the lowest ratings of the night. On her blog, Rosie simply said, "there will b no more".

* Some gossip columns are disputing the report that no money will change hands in the Madonna/Guy Ritchie divorce. Gossip maven Liz Smith alleges that Guy will get $70 Million out of the split.
