  Into The Groove

By Paul V.

Jennifer Hudson is reportedly set to marry this spring. The Oscar- winning actress-singer plans to wed her maintenance engineer (aka garbage man) boyfriend, James Peyton.

Remember Right Said Fred? Buffed baldy Richard Fairbrass is now running for mayor of London. Fairbrass claims he's tired of rising costs and feels he could make a real difference at City Hall. He still loves music and is currently recording a comeback album.

Last issue, we praised Courtney Love for her new, slim figure. Now rumors are swirling that she secretly had gastric bypass surgery to achieve it. She denies it, of course. She also said she knows who will play her and Kurt Cobain in the upcoming bio-flick, but only divulged that they are both "very high-end, very A-list." My bet is on Jared Leto in the Cobain role.

Kylie Minogue has a new boyfriend, and it's none other than Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, who recently topped the U.K. chart with his awesome single, "Acceptable in the ‘80s.” The duo is dating, and he's producing her new CD.

Marilyn Manson, whose divorce papers ain't even dry from Dita Von Teese, has a new squeeze — none other than the friggin' 19-year-old Evan Rachel Wood. Ugh, gross.

It's nice to have rich neighbors like the super hunky Robbie Williams. The singer lives next door to actor Joe Pesci in Beverly Hills, and the actor got pissed one morning when Williams' car was blocking his driveway. So rather than rankle the ire of his Goodfellas neighbor, Williams actually bought Pesci a brand new Bentley, and blocked his driveway with it, as a gag.

Never get Sharon Osbourne in a war of words. Her latest target is Queens of the Stone Age singer Josh Homme, who ignited her wrath after proclaiming his band would never play OzzFest again, after their crappy treatment on a past tour. Sharon, not one to let things drop, responded with an acid-tongued rant that included, “I hope he gets syphilis and dies. I hope his dick fuckin' falls off so his mother can eat it.” Ouch!

Britney Spears Watch

It's clear most addicts never blame themselves for their problems, and Britney is no different. She fired her longtime manager Larry Rudolph, who was chiefly responsible for getting her into rehab. Britney, who also publicly mocked him, said she "felt ashamed" to have to go in for treatment, thus firing Rudolph. A lawsuit is pending, as this violates her contract. Meanwhile, Spears' dad, James, fired off a letter, publicly apologizing to Rudolph for his daughter's rude behavior. And supposedly, Britney fired off her own letter, to none other than Prince William! The hunky royal just broke up with his longtime girlfriend, and apparently Spears is looking to get her claws in early. Don't hold your breath, folks.
