Oh this is just COLD! And kinda funny when it's not happening to you. From Justjared.com...
An oldie but goodie! A great newspaper clipping from years ago:
"Jodee Berry of Panama City, Fla., sits with her toy Yoda at her lawyer's office Wednesday. Berry, a former Hooters waitress, has sued the restaurant where she worked saying she was promised a new Toyota for winning a beer sales contest in April. Berry, 26, believed that she had won a new car, but she was blindfolded, led to the parking lot and presented a toy Yoda, the little green guy from Star Wars."
And for the slow folks out there, a TOY YODA is not the same thing as a TOYOTA.
...PS...My new Toyota Highlander will be here next week! YEAH!! I can't wait for my new car! :)
Mariah's mega Wedding called off! From DListed.com...
The two have called off their second wedding which was supposed to take place in NYC sometime this month. Their first ..."adlinkMouseOut(event,this,8);" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,8);" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,8);" id="KonaLink8" oncontextmenu="return false;">wedding in the Bahamas just wasn't enough for Mimi. The second wedding was going to be a multi-million-dollar crystal unicorn extravaganza fit for an 8-year-old!
Mimi reportedly couldn't find a magazine that was interested in spending millions for the exclusive photos of her cotton candy fiesta. A source told MSNBC's The Scoop, "Mariah was willing to pay for the wedding, but the way she hoped to pay for the wedding was through the sale of photos. No one was interested."
...or has the shine come off the penny? Mariah is wealthier than we can even imagine! She'd have no problem paying for this mess if she wanted to. By why spend millions to make a fool of yourself. Hmm.... Could she be having second thoughts?

Dr. Drew Pinsky issued a tempered apology to Tom Cruise on Thursday after the therapist raised questions about the actor's mental health.
"Dr. Drew meant no harm to Mr. Cruise and apologizes if his comments were hurtful," Pinsky's rep said in a statement.
But Pinsky, the host of VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, continued the war of words with Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields, who sharply criticized Pinsky for his comments in Playboy.
Pinsky speculated in the magazine that Cruise's Scientology beliefs could be a result of childhood "neglect," prompting Fields to call Pinsky a "posturing flake" who "pretends to diagnose people he's never met."
Pinsky responds: "Although Mr. Fields's intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket diagnosis about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise whom he does not know. Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognizable to help the public understand. Again, Dr. Drew meant him no harm."
...Behold the power of a VERY high priced attorney. And rumor has it Gary Djourdan, formerly of CSI, has joined the the Celeb Rehab 2 show. I don't really believe that one... but we'll see.
Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl said on Wednesday that she did not put her name in for Emmy consideration this year because she did not feel she was given material to justify it.
Now, a Grey's Anatomy insider fights back and says, "The show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticizes the show for lack of material?" the insider told EW. "It's an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place."
Last year Katherine was advised by her own manager/mother that she "didn't have a shot in hell of winning," and made a point of telling the Primetime Emmy Awards audience in her speech.
Grey's Anatomy has slipped in the ratings this past season but is still a top 10 show.
...Come on Katie...stop being so HARD to please. Enjoy your life, and be thankful. And go make my pal...your hubby, Josh Kelley happy! Oh wait... he already is.

It's good to have Friends.
Jennifer Aniston met up with BFF Courteney Cox for a humanitarian event at L.A.'s STK restaurant Thursday night - and both brought along the men in their lives.
John Mayer arrived just before 9 p.m., kissing Cox hello and settling next to Aniston (who wore a sleeveless black shirt, grey pants and sky-high strappy sandals). She quickly slipped her arm around him and, a few minutes later, she playfully tousled the singer's hair.
David Arquette joined them later - after catching the end of the Lakers-Celtics game at the front bar - and the group sat chatting over glasses wine. It was a cozy anniversary celebration for Cox and Arquette, who were married June 12, 1999.
After the STK dinner and event, hosted by Coco de Ville founder Mary Fanaro and sponsored by Kitson, the group headed next door to Coco de Ville, for the OmniPeace.com event honoring Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, co-founder of the anti-poverty organization Millennium Promise.
Good Deeds
Aniston greeted Sachs - famous for his philanthropic work with Angelina Jolie - with a warm hug, and the two sat in intense conversation for 20 minutes. (After Sachs left, Aniston and Mayer discreetly held hands under the table while catching up with Cox and Arquette.)
"[Jen] is absolutely wonderful," Sachs told PEOPLE later. "She knows that she reaches so many people and is eager to contribute in many ways. It was absolutely fantastic to speak with her."
As for his other celebrity supporters - Jolie and Aniston's ex, Brad Pitt - the author of Millennium Promise offered glowing praise.
"They're so much fun and so committed," he said. "Angie is just boundless energy, creativity, endlessly so ... And Brad is so committed as well with what he's been doing in New Orleans on environmental issues. It's phenomenal."
...Hollywood is a very small town after all. And maybe one day, we can actually STOP bringing up Angelina whenever we talk about Jennifer. It's SOOOO old.
