John Mayer – you’re not so bad
We’ve never been able to get in to the whole John-Mayer-is-a-walking-god thing. Maybe it’s the weird faces he make when he plays. I don’t know. At any rate, his stock just went up in our book and we’re pondering changing our opinion. This Vulture interview from the Elle Decor-sponsored Armani/Casa party Wednesday night is just great. Although we take issue with the “world-renowned blues legend” title they gave him – I think the poise of the interviewer more than makes up for it.

Reports tying George Clooney to engagement: false
According to a number of blogs, including Examiner, George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis are “rumored to be officially engaged and already living as man and wife in the local Italian community of Lake Como.”
Gossip Cop always comes through with the fact checks:
We reached out to Clooney’s rep who told Gossip Cop that rumors of an engagement are “not true.”
Lindsay Lohan is abusing drugs; wallowing in self pity. Shocking, we know.
The Star reports:
The once-promising actress collapsed during a week-long party, as her vodka, cocaine and prescription pills habits caught up with her
The best commentary, of course, comes from our pal Jenny at Superior Gossip:
all I can do now is point to scenic cliffs for her to jump off of and give her train schedules so she knows the best places to park on the tracks
Oh Superior Gossip we’re definitely feeling the love.

We’re sure nothing will make you feel better than watching your little one play with that tiny, shiny rattle – knowing that you could have picked up a few months worth of diapers for the same price.

The classic (1963) book from just about everyone’s childhood has finally come to the big screen. We’re excited to see if Spike Jonez can come through and deliver the film that
