Julie Taymor and Bono's Spider-Man Broadway musical is finally underway! According to a Tweet from this young lady (who is playing Peter Parker) rehearsals have begun and they are cray-zay. It's all very exciting. Still sucks Alan Cumming quit, though.

Scandal! Republican operatives have obtained Barack Obama's personal planner and leaked it in a new attack ad. It appears that the only thing Obama did during the oil spills' 58 days was hang out with celebrities and golf!

It was about being "fake." Speaking of fakes, guess which starlet got a boob job now? Jake Gyllenhaal fears ostriches. Ed Westwick fears Olivia Munn. Bethenny Frankel filmed her childbirth for a TV show.
