One of those sad celeb moments, to see small and tormented Gary Coleman finally on the cover of PEOPLE magazine — for dying. What a tortured person, who never saw his way out of his childhood fame, it would seem. And now, he’s the cover. Perhaps the lesson is to treat these folks – notorious and fading — nicely or better whilst they are alive, no?  He had serious health problems and complications for decades and never could find a life or identity outside of the fame game.

Bless his little heart.

Her husband already has two kids. And now speculation mounts that Lamar Odom’s bride may be with child. “I’m just fat,” she joked to reporters at a Laker’s playoff game.

Maybe that’s true, for Hollywood standards, although at 5’10″, she’s also a big girl period compared to her petite sisters.

The Diva wants to know why she’d WANT to be pregnant at 25 years old. We realize that college probably was too much of a drag on her nightlife and lifestyle, but seriously, wouldn’t you want to wait a few years before getting all knocked up and diapered out?

Probably she saw what publicity her sister got with a baby on board and felt like it would hype her, er… “career.” Or keep her in the tabs. Or, or or…..Sigh.

Chatter amongst yourselves.

What we’re thinking this morning, through the chocolate donut haze: 1. Heidi and Spencer’s split isn’t real. It’s completely staged to keep em in the news. Their reunion will put them right back, at least in the pages of US magazine et al.

2. Whaddya bet Al Gore, in six months so it won’t seem so unseemly, hooks up with some 30-ish Brown University alum, some patchouli-wearing, Earth-hugging, rich family in Connecticut chick. He’ll announce that “her love and commitment to the environment has given my life new meaning,” or some unholy touchy-feely crap. You know it’s coming. Tipper, will join a band or the Peace Corp. and remain nutty. We predict.

See the story about the chick who got fired for her workplace appearance? Discuss. Is fashion sense plus hawtness a problem (not for the Diva, natch) but others? Are the truly fabulous punished by their (leftist) peers for looking too nice on the job? The Diva was once chastised by an Al Gore operative for her campaign trail attire — business suits. “Tone it down a notch, wontcha,” said the piggy Gore flack. “Umm, no bitch. We report and write better when our outfit is slammin. BTW, you need a facial in the WORST way.”

Dear Justice-to-Be Kagan:

Chin liposuction is entirely tolerable and the scars, once healed, are barely visible. With some Dermablend, you’re golden. Just sayin…..it’s never too late to look smokin’ for those nasty confirmation hearings.

We are good here in America at pooling our resources to help folks out. What if one of our jabbering celebrity “environmentalists” hosted a Tinseltown telethon to raise money for beach, wetland, wildlife clean-up? Cause you know BP is soon gonna cry poor — right after the feds sue em. Which will come any day now with Americans boycotting all the BP ventures as soon as the beaches are fouled.

George Clooney, Ed Begley Jr., Alicia Silverstone? One of y’all Prius-driving, vegan-loving Hollywood types needs to step it up as this disaster is certain to worsen.

We feel supersad for the pelicans, fishies and fishermen.

Shawn Johnson was not the best dancer. Why folks voted for her, we don’t know. Giles was the best. He was. And he was cuter.

Chris was a sweet boy singer. Aw shucks. But Adam Lambert is a star, talented with an obvious wow factor. We actually think his solid frontrunner status worked against him. Sigh.

America did NOT get it right this time. They picked the nice guy who no chance of a big career. But Adam will likely be the new lead singer for Queen or somesuch. And he’ll be rich like Clay. 

Sigh, again.

Is it just us or have Melissa Rycroft’s abs gotten better and better as Dancing with the Stars continues?

Man, she has the best bod. Athletic, lean, but also sexy-cute. She’s had a really amazing attitude, too.

What pluck! We admire how she’s handled her newfound celebrity after getting dumped by psycho-boy. She must be super-glad she dodged that bullet.

Must watch TV alert

Anna Wintour — you know who she is, she doesn’t need an introduction — is gonna be on “60 Minutes” Sunday night.

Better tune in, angels. She’s not exactly media friendly. We may not hear from her again before she dies/leaves Vogue.

That odd little bug Annie Duke was a good player. We’ll give her credit. But she seemed awfully manipulative. Yes, Joan was a drama queen. But she’s an entertainer — HELLO.

Annie lost because she wasn’t nice. And because the court of public opinion went with Joan.

(We must say that her daughter seems to be on an awful plastic surgery jag. She looks nearly as surreal as Joan does with all that work at 75.)

All we’re sayin….

A strange cadre of celebs this go round, too.

Time for an Oprah eyejob

You know you are thinking it. She’s staved it off for about as long as she can. But there isn’t really a brand of concealer that is going to fix it up now. Time for a wee cleanup with the plastic man.

Dontcha think?

Dear John Edwards:

What you should know is that no woman in America believes your current story about the affair and the paternity of that child.

Your wife deserved much better. We hope she leaves you.

And we urge you to TELL THE TRUTH. Your nose is gonna fall off soon if you carry on with this obviously tall tale.

AS  IF.

Shame on Lance Armstrong

Is there any reason to talk about issues with your relationship with Sheryl Crow and her biological clock ticking — other than to sell books?

Dude, you sold her out. This wasn’t the world’s business and yet you made it so for personal gain. Now you’ve managed to knock up someone else and THAT seems OK. We don’t like you very much at all.

Shame, shame, bicycle boy.

Yeah, we know you love him on “24.” But what you probably don’t consider his personal life.

Hasn’t been easy. Kindly, he’s an elegant imbiber. Twice in jai on the DUI. Needs to be more careful.

We can imagine he was a bit tipsy when he decided to ride in on the white TV star stallion and headbut one of our country’s most fab emerging designers. 

Headbutt? In public?

Who does that shit? We bet he gets sent back to jail for violating his probation.

Likely his character Jack would not approve of this conduct. He’s a cute oddball, no?

Love for Stella

We are starting to warm significantly to the collections of Stella McCartney. At first, not so much. Now, it seems her stuff is softening to a nice femininization. Is that a word? Doesn’t matter. You get our drift. Her clothes are prettier and that makes us ever so happy.

We don’t love the price point, but we are paying much more attention.

Carry on, angels.
