The Bachelor Recap: Viva Vienna!

As usual, The Hollywood Gossip staff endured The Bachelor last night to bring you our official recap, with points awarded/docked according to our scientific system. In the season's third episode, Vienna Girardi emerged as a frontrunner, and Michelle became even more insane. Here's THG's take on that and so much more ... Jake takes Vienna bungee jumping "to overcome their fears as a couple." A couple who met like 10 days ago. And jumps off a bridge entirely by choice. Minus 5. Plus 12, though, for the show blatantly recycling this story line from Jason and Molly's season, but Minus 12 for V saying she's "on cloud Jake right now." Wow. Michelle:...

David Letterman on Jay Leno Bashing: It's Really F un

It's clear who the loser is in the recent NBC late-night shake-up: Conan O'Brien. But it's also apparent who the winner has become in this mess of a situation: David Letterman. The Late Show host has gotten in numerous attacks on Jay Leno and NBC over the past couple weeks, prompting NBC executive Dick Ebersol to call him and O'Brien "chicken-hearted and gutless" for their take on the mess. Naturally (and hilariously), Letterman responded to this critique last night. After subtly tweaking Leno's reputation as America's friendly everyman, he said: “I’m telling jokes and making fun of Jay Leno relentlessly, mercilessly, simply for one reason: I’m really enjoying it.” It's classic Letterman: Letterman on NBC...

Fashion Face-Off: Angelina Jolie vs. Jennifer Aniston

Angelina Jolie skipped the Golden Globes, but her presence was still felt. By Jennifer Aniston, whose Golden Globes dress - a black Valentino gown with a thigh-high split - was, like, totally similar to a style rocked by Jolie last year! As you can see, the current life partner of Brad Pitt (at least until Star breaks them up tomorrow) rocked a Versace gown to the Inglourious Basterds premiere. Sucks for Jen! Oh, who are we kidding. She totally copied it on purpose. After all, there's nothing Jen likes more than messing with Angelina Jolie. She also likes flirting with Gerard Butler, but mind games are Aniston's true passion. In any case, who...

Kate Major: Jon Gosselin is a Loser

We know this may come as a huge shock to you, but Jon Gosselin is apparently a "huge loser," according to an inside source with knowledge of the subject. Kate Major, who sort of dated Jon last summer, is now dating Michael Lohan. This speaks volumes about her taste, but still, she says it's a step up from Jon. “He seems to go for nice girls from nice families and, in my case, with good careers," said the ex-reporter for Star freaking magazine who quit to date him.
