Nikki Cox Actually Marries Jay Mohr

The couple exchanged vows in Los Angeles on Friday night.

Cox, 28, met Mohr, 36, when he guest-starred on her NBC drama. Mohr, who guest stars on CBS's Ghost Whisperer, popped the question in February.

This is the first marriage for Cox, who was previously engaged to comic Bob Goldthwait. Mohr was married to model-turned-actress Nicole Chamberlain from 1998 to 2004. They have one child together, a son named Jackson.

Indiana Jones IV: The Crotchety Old Fart

Harrison Ford, so hunky as Han Solo, comes off as a huge crumudgeon when on talk shows and certainly when he hung up his Indiana Jones hat in the Smithsonian, saying there would not be any more Indy movies.

Well, now it appears the crabby thesbian will do a 4th Indy movie. What, the residuals for Firewall not what you had hoped for?

Please don't let them put Calista in this movie. She cant act and is weird looking. And annoying.

Niki Taylor, Remember Her?

Niki Taylor was once a top model, but took time off either by choice or not (she lost her sister, had kids, got married, got divorced, was in a car accident). A few years ago she dated Keith Urban and just a few days ago she married a NASCAR driver she met in January.

I am putting them on my 2007 divorce predictions list pronto!

Last Celeb Divorce of 2006?

It seems like only a couple days ago I read about Michael Jordan allegedly trying to pick up a woman, and the excuse was that he was allegedly doing so for the benefit of Derek Jeter. Allegedly.

Now comes the news that Michael and his wife are divorcing after 17 years of marriage. She had previously filed for divorce in 2002.

Blair Visits the Bee Gees

I just watched The Queen starring Helen Mirren, and Tony Blair is an integral part of the movie (played fabulously by Michael Sheen, Kate Beckinsale's baby daddy). A day later, Tony is in the news when the plane he is riding in overshoots the runway. He was on a British Airways flight. Doesn't he get his own plane?

The Blair's are on holiday and are staying with Robin Gibb. What, no Barry?

Gerald Ford Dead at 93

Gerald Ford was the only unelected president in history. He took over for Nixon after he resigned. Ford didn't win the 1976 election, losing to Jimmy Carter. In recent years, Ford and Carter have become good friends.

His good looking son Steven was on Young and the Restless for awhile, and is in When Harry Met Sally (plays Joe, the one Sally cries over).

It's Starting Already

As soon as James Brown died, his girlfriend was locked out of the house. Hard to say if this is his lawyer's doing, or if this is James Brown's wish.

Tomi Rae Brown, mother of JB's 5 year old son, was never officially married to the Godfather of Soul.

James Brown Dies

RIP Lionel Jefferson

Mike Evans in his role as Lionel Jefferson in a December 1979 portrait. Evans, best known as Lionel Jefferson in the TV sitcoms 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons,' has died of throat cancer Dec. 14,2006, at his mother's home in Twentynine Palms, Calif. He was 57.


He was one of two Lionel's on the Jeffersons. And he was co-creator of Good Times. Say it with me: Dy-no-mite!

Bono Gets Knighted

Bono isn't English, so he is not a Sir, but he is an honorary knight. Love Bono, but if I had to hear him refer to himself as Sir Bono I might not like him so much. It's like when I heard Eddie Vedder asks for discounts at local Seattle stores (allegedly of course). Disappointing.


The 46-year-old rocker, who is being recognized for his musical contributions and his humanitarian work, will receive his honorary knighthood shortly after New Year's Day, the Associated Press reports.

Diddy Dog Coats

Macy's has pulled Sean John faux fur coats as a test by the Humane Society showed that the fur was raccoon dog, a undomesticated dog found in Asia.

Of the 10 garments tested by the Humane Society from a variety of stores and designers, nine tested positive as raccoon dog fur and were mislabeled, a violation of federal law.

Support the Humane Society as they ask Congress to amend the Dog and Cat Prevention Act to include raccoon dog.

No Apprentice For Me

Last night Donald Trump was on Larry King and his diatribe about Rosie finalized what many of us suspected in the first place- that he's a d*ck.

He is so unprofessional, that it makes The Apprentice a big joke.

All Rosie said was that he wasn't one to judge morality. And she made fun of his hair. And said he filed bankruptcy. None of these statements appear to be false.

The continuing stream of bitterness that Donald has for her is shocking.

Jordan Knight Not Recognized on "Identity"

80's/90's Teen Beat cover boy Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block was one of the "strangers" on NBC's cheesy show Identity. Contestants try and match identities (mayor, model, millionaire) with various people, known as "strangers".

It must have been a bit tough on the ego for the once famous singer to be standing on a pedestal next an elephant trainer and a male go-go dancer. But it would've been ego shattering to not be recognized.

The contestant gave up and cashed out with her winnings before labeling Jordan as the New Kid on the Block.

Oprah is Friends With Star?!?!

Star Jones is admitting to the world what it already knew – that she's been a diva with a capital D – and it seems that she may be using her pal Oprah Winfrey to help her shed that image and get back on her professional feet.

Miss Jones told "EXTRA" that this New Year's, she's going with O and Gayle King to South Africa as Oprah visits the girls academies she built down there. Though the two aren't bosom pals like O & G, Oprah and Star have appeared on one another's shows, and Star could be looking to use some of the Queen of Daytime's reflected glory to land a new gig.

Rosie vs. The Donald

Rosie is going a little nuts on The View. I love it.

Rosie O'Donnell had some fiery words for Donald Trump on The View Wednesday morning, calling him a "snake-oil salesman" following his announcement that he would not fire troubled Miss USA Tara Conner.

After hearing about her comments, Trump fired back to PEOPLE, calling her "a woman out of control" and saying he planned to sue O'Donnell over her statements questioning his financial well-being.


Donald just said this on Access Hollywood: "I'll send out people to pick up her girlfriend and I think its going to be easy." Dang!
