Celebs Mouth Off
"My comments about 'gangsta rap' were in no way trying to suggest that the government is responsible for creating this genre of rap music," she said.
Maybe Alicia can explain who's responsible for emo rock.
Neil Diamond
"My music is going to be written or recorded with or without critical acclaim. I appreciate it when it comes, but it will not stop me for a moment when I don't get it. It's unpredictable."In other words, who cares what the critics say when you've already sold 120 million records.
Mario Lopez
Lopez, pictured here after a rehearsal, enjoyed everything about his Broadway debut in the revival of "A Chorus Line," right down to the wardrobe."(The show) takes place in 1975, so I got some cool mustard tight pants with a chocolate shirt with a big collar."
Mustard and chocolate? Sounds yummy, Mario.
J.K. Rowling
"I really don't want to cry because I'm British, you know," Rowling said, in a court appearance in Manhattan.Shown here leaving the court after testifying the first day of the trial, she has sued to stop publication of Steven Vander Ark's "Harry Potter Lexicon," claiming copyright infringement.
Get real, J.K. No fair crying when your net worth is estimated at $1 billion.
Bill Cosby
Cosby is making a new hip-hop album which has several guest rappers on it.As for his own rhyming capabilities, Cosby said, "I do not rap on any of these things. I wouldn't know how to fix my mouth to say some of the words."
Probably a smart move, Bill.
Priscilla Presley
Presley, the latest celebrity to be voted off ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," said this of her time on the show:"This has been an incredible experience. It is life-changing. ... I learned so much about myself and all the things I can do."
Now she'll have time to start Miss Cilla's Psychic Hotline.
Tommy Lee
When asked about touring with his band Motley Crue this summer, Lee said:"The second we hit the stage, everything is exactly the same. But when the house lights go up these days, everybody leaves and goes back to their hotel room or bus or airplane or whatever. It's different now. People have families and kids."
Say it ain't so, Tommy Lee!
Angela Lansbury
"We use a bullet as a metaphor, and it's a very apt one. With ALS, you don't really know where it comes from, and you don't know when it might hit," Lansbury, the new spokeswoman for the ALS Association said.ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, progressively paralyzes its victims and cruelly shortens their lives.
If anyone can solve a mystery, it's Ms. Lansbury.
Jason Segel
Segel has become the next big name in comedy during the promotion of his upcoming film "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," produced by hit filmmaker Judd Apatow."Judd and I really collided on the idea that, for some reason, I'm able to remain likable while getting awfully close to the creepy line. It's one of my strange skills," Segel said.
Gotta love a guy who goes full frontal for laughs.
Kim Cattrall
Filming the "Sex and the City" movie attracted a lot of attention."We were just supposed to walk down the street. But there were so many people out there watching! And paparazzi, trying to get the first shot of the four of us together! I have felt overwhelmed before, but that day I felt like a Beatle," said Cattrall.
Yes, but could a Beatle cross Abby Road wearing a pair of Manolos?
