Oh yes, we were all waiting with baited breath once the final minutes of the Superbowl rolled over, weren’t we? Even Yahoo and Google were hyping up their servers to accommodate the news that was expected, but it seems all they had to offer the world was Kim Kardashian googling herself again to see what people were and weren’t saying about her. Here she is sans her infamous pink velvet pant suit in her usual overloaded makeup style on a night out with pal Brittny Gastineau. And it seems that there may be an obvious reason why her left hand is not so apparent to the paparazzi, as it seems she has a little bit of humble pie to eat with aforementioned hand. Just days before the Superbowl last Sunday, the reality TV star blurted out on a radio show that her New Orleans Saints player beau would pop the question if his team won America’s biggest sporting event. And since we all know that she and her entire Kardashian clan are big time headline seekers, all major search engines may have had a bit of a downer on Monday morning. Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend Reggie Bush may have triumphed in the Super Bowl, but so far it seems he’s failed to honour his promise of marriage. The Saints stormed to victory against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday – but there’s still no sign of an engagement ring for Kardashian. When asked by a local newspaper whether the NFL star had popped the question since his big win, she said:

“No, he hasn’t proposed. But let this moment be about Reggie’s ring and not about mine.”

“Mine” she says as if there is actually a ring that she owns at this point, when it is becoming very clear there is not. And maybe there just won’t ever be. The celebrity couple – dubbed “the Bush and the Tush” because of Kardashian’s famously round derriere – rekindled their romance last year after previously splitting due to their busy schedules. Now that Reggie is on a little football hiatus, and Kimmy girl is still looking for that next headline, what the heck is he waiting for? Enquiring minds want to know, most notably, the Kardashian family who are on baited breath waiting to film the next episode of their not so well like reality show. One with an engagement party perhaps? Or a sisterly huddle and cuddle to console the not so fianced Kimmy.

You almost just want to say…give it a REST. One difference between John Mayer and your average joe is when he has a “what did I do last night?” morning, it shows up as a magazine cover story a few months later. That might be due to the fact that other than his relationship with Jennifer Aniston….that we remind you has been soooooooo over for QUITE some time now…he doesn’t have much else exciting going on in his life. And even he seems to know it as he can’t seem to stop talking about this aforementioned relationship, despite the fact that it’s pretty darn clear that Jenny has moved on…and on…and on…approximately 17 times now. This time he ranted out 7000 of some of the most outrageous words ever to cross a celebrity’s mouth to Playboy magazine over a glass of whisky or nine. And Jennifer Aniston might want to pick up a copy. For the articles, of course. Yes, he’s STILL talking about the breakup. And since the rest of the paparazzi have become completely bored with it, it seems that Playboy is about the only one that will let him moan just that much longer. The reason he begrudgingly broke it off with the star of Leprechaun may have had a lot to do with their nine-year age difference.

“I want to dance. I want to get on an airplane and be like a ninja. I want to be an explorer. I want to be like The Bourne Identity. I don’t want to pet dogs in the kitchen.”

Sorry you had to read that, Mr. Aniston. Oh wait, Norman Aniston can’t read. And no, Jen didn’t appreciate it when John told a gang of photographers that he ended it. But he can TOTALLY explain. Writers for the major tab mags were bombarding him to the point where he couldn’t tell if an In Touch writer was stalking him or if he had just gone literally crazy.

“I haven’t slept. I’m about to go blind–you know the phrase blind rage? All I can remember is that I was about to lose my vision. My emotional tissue was about to tear. So after I left the gym I said ‘come here’ to all the reporters and paparazzi. I was on the verge of crying and also on the verge of punching someone.”

But instead of crying and punching, he instead announced he’d dumped Jen “because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right.” It was a little bit too much honesty, not just for gossip-trackers, but for the ex Mrs. Pitt as well. “It really, really upset her,” John said. “I wanted to take responsibility for having ended it because I saw it as such an offence. But a lot of people felt I was saving face.” He compares breaking up with Jennifer Aniston to “burning the American flag,” although realistically, Americans probably care more about the idiot that let Jennifer Aniston get away. Considering how openly he’s revisiting this territory, it would seem he hasn’t learned anything about discretion (elsewhere in the interview, he says Jessica Simpson is “sexual napalm” and that he’d like to do something sexual with TMZ founder Harvey Levin that I didn’t even know existed until I was 17). Maybe that’s because he thinks that, like himself, Jen’s stuck in the ’90s when it comes to handling her fame. She thought he was courting too much attention by using Twitter, a public forum, as his personal brainstorming pad, while John tried to convince her to take her public image more lightly.

“I said, ‘Tom Cruise put on a fat suit. That pretty much sums up the past decade: Tom Cruise with a comb-over, dancing to Flo Rida in Tropic Thunder. And the world went, ‘Welcome back, Tom Cruise.’ You have to show that you don’t take yourself seriously.”

Jen’s probably right not to listen too intently to John, but maybe she should have heeded his advice on this one thing. People might quit insetting her picture into photos of Brangelina if she joked around about it a little more. It couldn’t be any more uncomfortable than seeing her face on the magazine rack every time she goes to the gas station. *eyes rolling* are you done NOW, John?

Well yes, we all saw this one coming, but the only surprise to this breakup is that it took so long to happen, but that’s what happens with more than most teen pregnancies, no? Jamie Lynn Spears has certainly been way under the radar since she gave birth to her daughter Maddie almost 2 years ago, and we all thought she was just enjoying mommy hood and playing house with baby daddy Casey Aldridge, right? Well, we all thought so, but it seems it ain’t so. Here she is seen in her home town of McComb, Mississippi running errands with her baby girl, and by the sounds of it, she may be errand running on the solo side much more often in the coming days, weeks, months, whatever. Yes, the news has finally hit that Jamie Lynn Spears and the father of her baby, Casey Aldridge, are no longer playing house, they are soooooo over. But Casey Aldridge sure did have some fun. How many other teenage pipe layers get to have themselves immortalized on a lawn mower by the paparazzi? But, alas, it’s time to forget him all over again, because they’ve hit splitsville, and most around them are hoping it’s for good. But as you can imagine, once a Spears girl, always a Spears girl, and Jamie Lynn, 18, had no trouble finding a new boyfriend. I mean, she’s Zoey 101. She’s been dating James Watson, a 28-year-old who runs a company that installs electronics for other companies, since December. He lives in Hammond, Louisiana, about half an hour south of Jamie Lynn’s home in Kentwood. “I don’t think James cares at all about who she is,” a source tells Star. (side bar, that’s supposed to be a compliment) Both Casey and Jamie Lynn have now moved out of their place in Liberty, Missouri. Jamie Lynn is back at her mom Lynn’s estate, Serenity, in Kentwood, while Casey has weirdly disappeared. He’s doing “long term construction in another state” according to People magazine. Wow, how vague. And anticlimactic. Just like when Brenda went away to school in London on 90210 and they thought we’d just forget all about her. Well, maybe that strategy will work a little better with Casey. Disappointed? Hm, no, not too surprised either. It does not really sound like too many hearts were bleeding over this one.

I gotta say, this is a story that is really…well, not old per se, but one that makes me just want to leave this poor family alone. I don’t think there is really anyone on the planet who does not define this death as a tragedy, and yet with deaths like Jackson and Ledger making overdosing in Tinseltown front page news, this one is no exception. It seems people will go to no ends to find some kind of drug scenario to pin on poor Brittany’s death, when really, what will that change at this point? Let’s hope this latest news will be the last her poor family have to suffer in the wake of this tragedy. As it stands now Brittany Murphy’s widower Simon Monjack is “ridiculously upset” after it was ruled she died of community acquired pneumonia and multiple drug intoxication. Simon Monjack admits he and the actress’ mother, Sharon, were shocked by the findings from the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner following her death on December 20, as he didn’t think she was as ill as investigators discovered. He told People.com:

“I’m ridiculously upset. Everything surprised me and Brittany’s mom about the report. I expected the cause of death to be her heart. She was not that ill. She wasn’t coughing up. I’ve had pneumonia and coughed up handfuls of spittle. So yeah, everything surprised us, everything.”

The coroner’s Chief Assistant Ed Winter also attributed iron deficiency anaemia to contributing to her accidental death and ruled there were no illegal drugs found in her system. However, he said the 32-year-old ‘Clueless’ star’s death could have been prevented if she had been taken to hospital earlier. He said:

“It is true that I believe her death could have been preventable but she was actually very sick with pneumonia and was anaemic and she was taking prescription and over-the-counter medicine. Tragically, her mother had made an appointment for her to visit a doctor but she died just a few days before and they will always have to live with that.”

Winter also revealed there will be no criminal charges in Murphy’s death. He added: “Brittany Murphy was not a juvenile who was directly in her parents’ care – she was an adult.” A full autopsy report is expected to be released within two weeks, but it is hoped that this latest news, though upsetting to family members, will be the last of drug insinuations her family will have to suffer. It seems that this tragedy could have been prevented, but we are back to the old argument, what good does this do anybody now? At any rate, we hope sweet Brittany will continue to rest in peace, so that her family can finally begin that process themselves.

A lot of bad news in celebrity arrests this week, and the Michael Jackson case is at the top of the list. No, you aren’t seeing a reincarnation of the King of Pop here, but rather an artistic entrepreneur who has taken a lead on capitalizing on the King of Pop’s memory by becoming an impersonater. And along the streets of Hollywood Boulevard, these folks are a dime a dozen, and making quite much more than that following the demise of Michael Jackson. Nonetheless, entrepreneur’s aside, that the world has not said or heard much about the King’s death of late does not mean investigation into such as all but stopped, rather the opposite as TMZ is one of the first to report that an arrest is very near. It turns out that all eyes that have been on Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray are going to stay that way as he is about to turn himself in after the uncovering of some nasty evidence. One of our fave celebrity websites TMZ.com claims Dr Murray could be charged with involuntary manslaughter as soon as within the next few days. After a lengthy investigation the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office believes Dr Murray caused the King of Pop’s sudden death. The physician has already admitted injecting Jackson with the powerful sedative Propofol in the hours before his death and investigators allegedly believe this gross negligence was to blame for the tragedy. Jackson died of a heart attack caused by “acute Propofol intoxication”, according to the Los Angeles coroner, who ruled the death was a homicide. TMZ.com now claims Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley is ready to go ahead with criminal action against Murray. And of course, as is the case of many homicides, the 50-year-old doctor denies any wrongdoing and his lawyer said Murray wanted to hand himself in to police if charges are pressed – rather than face a humiliating arrest. Jackson died last June after allegedly requesting an array of sedatives from Murray after returning home following rehearsals to get ready for his shows at The O2 arena in London. The late pop legend – who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 – was last seen alive by his personal physician, but with his death ruled homicide by drug overdose last week, and the anaesthetic Propofol considered the primary factor, leading to this likely arrest, or the submission of Murray to the authorities by himself. And of course, we can’t get a straight answer, not even TMZ can as to what or how this will happen. After much haggling between prosecutors, defence lawyers and law enforcement officials over whether the physician should be arrested or not, it appears the doctor will now hand himself in to authorities, as it stands right now anyway, but anything could happen, not many take homicide charges lightly and the legal maneuvers here will be tricky no doubt. According to reports, he will face a judge next week, where it is thought a video camera will record the event. Law enforcement officials previously revealed that prosecutors planned to charge the doctor with involuntary manslaughter, alleging he gave Michael, 50, the powerful anaesthetic to help him sleep but that instead led to his death. Officials from the Los Angeles Police Department had wanted to go to the residence he was staying at to arrest him, so it wouldn’t look as though he was being given special treatment, but Attorney Ed Chernoff said last night that Murray would turn himself in because an arrest would only be for the benefit of news cameras. He said:

“You tell us where, we’ll be there. It’s a waste of time, it’s just a show. There’s no reason to handcuff a guy, drag him downtown so you can take a photo when he’s been sitting here for a week waiting to turn to himself in.”

No reason for handcuffs? Last I checked murder was a pretty good reason to handcuff someone. And we thought he wasn’t getting special treatment. This one sounds like it is going to get interesting, so stay tuned!

Oh yes, this pic may be a little fuzzy, but that’s because the good people at Aspen Police Department don’t quite have the technology available to leading paparazzi like TMZ, however, we all know WHAT this is, and WHO this is without having to ask a second question. This is the mug shot taken of Hollywood’s latest creepy man Charlie Sheen at about 11:00 A.M. Christmas Day when he was booked under felony domestic violence charges for threatening to kill his wife. At the time, it seemed there was some confusion on board, as some people didn’t know who the alleged victim was. Like most domestic violence cases, there was a lot of he said she saids, some self defense allegations, and blah blah blah, but the confusion seems to have been un-muddied as he is now officially facing felony charges. The charges following his Christmas Day arrest are officially known as felony menacing and the details involve the “alleged threatening to kill wife Brooke Mueller”. In addition, our leading creepy man may also be accused of felony assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief and will know his fate within the next few days. A court insider told Radar Online:

“Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin has previously told Sheen he could be charged with felony menacing, felony assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief. The fact that the arraignment is happening at the District Court is an indication that at least one felony charge will be placed against him – misdemeanors are handled in County Court.”

The official hearing is due to take place in Colorado – the state where the alleged incident happened – and both Sheen and Mueller are expected to attend. Lawyers for both parties are expected to also make their case to relax the protective order that prohibits any contact between the couple, who have ten-month-old twin boys, Max and Bob. Since Sheen’s arrest, Mueller has allegedly checked into rehab for her reported problems with substance abuse. The couple – who married in 2008 – are said to be keen to work through their problems and rebuild their marriage, because I guess the felony charges aren’t all that serious in Brooke’s eyes, but you know what Judge Judy says, we all make our own choices.
