People named Chace Crawford their Sexiest Bachelor. Chace is a good looking guy. I will admit that, but I don’t know very many people who would agree with Kneepads that he is the Sexiest Bachelor. Seriously? I will say that for once it wasn’t People who was wearing the kneepads. In this case the big kneepad award winner is the publicist of Chace who deserves a big raise and has probably called in very favor for the next five years to make this happen. Having Chace land on the cover of People as the sexiest bachelor is like Lyle Lovett marrying Julia Roberts. It’s unexpected.

Again, I am not saying Chace isn’t a good looking guy, but can’t you think of about 20 bachelors who are sexier? We could play the game all night long, but answer me this. How many of you think George Clooney is sexier than Chace Crawford? Last time I checked, Daniel Craig wasn’t married which makes him a bachelor. Is Chace sexier than Daniel Craig? Nathan Fillion? Single.

All People did here is try and get someone under the age of 65 to actually buy their magazine. People under 65 read their magazine, but they don’t actually buy it. This is their way of trying to stay relevant without seeming obvious about it which it would have been if they selected Robert Pattinson. Hell, I don’t even think Chace is the sexiest guy on the show. I mean Ed Westwick is a big ass, but I bet most of you think he is sexier than Chace right?

Very interesting decision by People. Wrong, but interesting. I do love how they try and really narrow it on the cover as Summer’s sexiest bachelor. Like this is going to be some kind of seasonal thing. After they get tired of saying Fall or Winter’s sexiest bachelor they can further narrow it by holiday, or hair color or whatever they choose.

I hate to give Sean Penn any benefit of the doubt so when he decided to pull out of two high profile projects to spend time with his family, I have serious doubts. He hasn’t cared about his wife for years and years so why should he start now? He filmed movie after movie for years and never seemed to care what it was doing to his kids so why now? I will admit that pulling out of The Three Stooges is big. I still probably won’t see it, but there was no way I was going to see it if he was in it. Anyway, I don’t think this has anything to do directly with family. There are ways to work and still be with your family. He can have them with him the whole time, he can spend the night with his wife instead of Mel Gibson’s Russian castoffs. Or is that the other way around? Yeah, I think Mel was probably taking from Sean and not the other way around.

What would everyone think of the idea that perhaps Sean needed some time to deal with other issues. Perhaps there is a little drinking or substance abuse problem? That could explain the lengthy absence. He knows he won’t get better without a break from acting and so this would be a good time for that. And if he did have a problem and did get better than maybe the relationship with his wife and family would be better as a result. Therefore if you say you are pulling out of movies to focus on your family, it is true in a very round about intervention-esque kind of way.

I bet when you read the headline you thought I meant that Jennifer Love Hewitt used the bad C word didn’t you? Cholesterol. I know, I know. It’s a ticking time bomb that kills millions. Oh, you thought I meant the C word as in the one that kind of looks like aunt but with a C. No, I wouldn’t write a post about that. This was much worse. In an interview with Digital Spy she said, “I can’t say that I’ll want to be 60 and still acting. There’s a lot that goes into it - the hair, the makeup, the people talking about you. It’s my craft and I love doing it, but I don’t know that I’m always gonna feel that way.”

Did she just say it was her craft? Seriously? I must have missed the whole crafty part about doing a show with Jamie Kennedy and making 8 sequels to I Know What You Did Last Summer. Oh, and don’t forget that musical version of A Christmas Carol. Oh, and that made for tv version of Audrey Hepburn’s life.

I really can’t believe she said craft. Unless you have won or been nominated for an Academy Award, I really don’t think you are allowed to use the word craft in a sentence unless it is referring to craft service and your meals on set. Other than that, I don’t want to hear about it. Throughout the interview she kept saying she wasn’t sure how long she would be an actress. Please. She would die without all the attention. She will be doing it until the day she dies.

Billy Joel’s third marriage is breaking up, but he says it’s not because his wife has been stepping out with a dashing designer.
The Piano Man and wife Katie Lee confirmed the split to the Daily News in a joint statement: “After nearly five years of marriage, Billy and Katie have decided to separate.

“This decision is the result of much thought and consideration. Billy and Katie remain caring friends, with admiration and respect for each other.”

Rumors have swirled for months that the marriage was on the rocks, with reports linking Lee, a 27-year-old chef and author, to Yigal Azrouel, a handsome 36-year-old Israeli-born fashion designer.

Sources reported seeing them dirty-dancing in Miami in January and have claimed that Azrouel referred to Lee as “my girlfriend.”

Reps for the Joels insisted that Azrouel is just a friend and that Billy, 60, was happy to skip the parties, fashion shows and fund-raisers that his younger wife enjoyed.

“Their decision to separate was absolutely unrelated to Yigal,” said Joel’s spokeswoman Claire Mercuri.

“It was really the age difference that caught up with them,” said a friend of the couple. “They grew apart. She is very career-oriented. She loves going out. She loves the city. When Billy isn’t touring, he’d rather be on Long Island with his motorcycles and boats.”

Various friends hinted at infidelity on both sides, though a longtime pal of Joel insisted “he’s always remained faithful to Katie. When he was touring with Elton John, he flew home almost every night.”

In recent weeks, Joel has been living on Long Island, where he owns mansions in Sag Harbor and Sagaponack. Lee is said to have stayed at the couple’s Greenwich Village townhouse, not far from Azrouel’s boutique.

Lee, who grew up in West Virginia, met Joel at a New York party in 2003 and they married a year later. His daughter Alexa Ray Joel, just four years younger than Katie, was maid of honor.

Joel’s nine-year marriage to model Christie Brinkley, the mother of Alexa, ended in 1994. His nine-year marriage to Elizabeth Weber went bust in 1982.

For his latest marriage, he’s believed to have a prenuptial agreement to protect the millions his many hits have made him.
Lee’s rep, Ken Sunshine, declined to comment beyond the couple’s statement.

“Billy’s doing fine,” Mercuri said. “He’s looking forward to resuming his Face 2 Face tour with Elton John.”

On camera, TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Kate Gosselin tries to portray herself as a supermom who can handle taking care of 8-year-old twins and 5-year-old sextuplets. These exclusive new photographs show that Kate’s composed demeanor may just be a facade. Behind the scenes, she seems to be unraveling. Around 11 a.m. on June 13, a witness spotted Kate, 34, and the children playing outside of their Reading, Pa., home. When Leah, one of the sextuplets, started blowing a whistle loudly, Kate told her to stop because she was on the phone. But as soon as Leah blew on the whistle again, Kate “seemed to lose her temper” and said, “Did you not hear me?” Then she stormed over to her daughter, grabbed her and hit her. “The girl was screaming and crying,” the witness adds. “Kate just pushed her away and walked off with her coffee. Her older sisters were trying to make Leah feel better.”

The actress, 51, tells InStyle: “I so hate that term! Colette wrote these novels [about older women with younger men] so long ago, but even today they’re ahead of their time in the way we perceive women’s power and sexuality.” As for her take on plastic surgery, she says, “Well, I think your face should still move. And you should be recognizable to your friends. One actress I knew years ago, a really lovely person, had some stuff done, and literally, every time I run into her now I don’t recognize her. Every time!”

Fashonista Malcolm Harris hung up on Angelina Jolie — twice. The Mal Sirrah designer didn’t believe it was Jolie on the line when she called last week to order three of his “One Dress” frocks. Finally, she convinced him she was the real deal by explaining they were both participating in World Refugee Day on Saturday. Jolie bought three of Harris’ dresses for $225 a pop, knowing that some of the proceeds go to the UN’s refugee effort. Harris confirmed the story to Page Six and said, “I was so flattered.”
