At least two sources blame British actor Steve Coogan. The party boy rehab veteran was Owen's costar in Night at the Museum and Around the World in 80 Days.
"I went through it with Steve," rocker Courtney Love, who dated Coogan, 41, until an acrimonious split in 2006, tells Us.
"I was just out of rehab, and he was right there with the drugs," she says. "I tried to warn Owen. I tried to warn his friends ... I hope from the bottom of my heart that Owen stays the hell away from that guy."

Miss Teen South Carolina Tries Her Answer Again
Miss Teen South Carolina's originally answer to why can't a fifth of America find America on a map:
The Today show let her try again, and this was her new answer:
I wish the Today Show would've whipped out a world map and made her prove it. She just might not know, which is why she was stumped with the question.
In high school one girl couldn't point to the US on a map. The German exchange student got up and helped her find it! The poor German exchange students. Had to put up with dumb Americans. And on Halloween someone dressed up as Hitler. She cried. I think he was sent home.
The Today show let her try again, and this was her new answer:
"I would love to re-answer that question," Upton said. "Well personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. And if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography."

My New Fave Show- Living With Ed
Seriously! Or maybe it's because I was having insomnia and it was all that was on. Or it could be that we haven't started the fall tv season.
Ok, it's my new fave show from yesterday.
The second season of Ed Begley Jr.'s environmental show starts on HGTV (in my town- it's the channel you find if you go past Bravo). The episode I watched had Ed and his wife at model Cheryl Tiegs' house to show her how to be more green. It was on her request, and he never got preachy. He seemed to appreciate that people were trying to make an effort.
I use to find Ed Begley Jr. annoying. Some of you are nodding in agreement. Some of you are thinking "who is Ed Begley Jr.?" He is the guy with a slight lisp, that usually plays a nerd, and who is known for showing up to events riding his bike.
He actually is entertaining in a mild way, and his wife is kinda funny. According to one of his many web sites, he rides a stationery bike in the morning to power the toaster. Can you imagine if all of America had to workout to heat their food? Genius idea, really.

Britney Being Investigated
Someone at CFS must read the tabloids. It has been widely reported (but not confirmed) that Britney doesn't pay much attention to her kids, leaves them in diapers too long, tries to whiten their teeth...all allegedly of course.

TMZ has learned Britney Spears is being investigated for possible child abuse.
An unscheduled hearing was held today at L.A. County Superior Court. Present -- Britney's lawyer, Dennis Wasser, K-Fed's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan and a lawyer from the Los Angeles County Counsel who is assigned to the dependency court.
We do not know the specifics of the allegations but we're told the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services is conducting an active investigation.

Rock of Love
Ok, I admit it. I've been watching Rock of Love. I normally don't watch the dating shows, but there is an 80's element here so I must watch. Bret Michaels from Poison has mystery hair, wears tons of makeup, wants his woman to have "pole skills" and he parties to his own music. And that's just him. The women are a whole other deal.
In case you haven't watched it, here is a clip. His jacket looks like when I dressed up as Tigger for Halloween.
Tonight Mia got the boot. She is a brunette who doesn't appear to have fake body parts or pole skills, so it was only a matter of time. I think she was a plant from the producers as his safe go-to pick, in case all of them turn out to be complete nightmares. It would've looked suspicious if he took her much farther since they barely talk to each other, and by now it looks like anyone but crazy Lacey would be an ok pick (although he would be insane to go for Heather because she is haggard).

She went from lesbians to Eddie Murphy then to allegedly shady guy? I'm gonna say she should've stayed with the lesbians.

The former lesbian lover of Melanie Brown is worried about the Spice Girl's state of mind following her whirlwind marriage to film producer Stephen Belafonte. Mum-of-two Christa Parker, 35, had a one-year fling with Scary Spice after they met at the gates of the American school where their children are pupils in 2003 and later introduced her to her friend Elizabeth Rodriguez who joined them for drink-fuelled threesomes. Parker claims her former lover is "vulnerable" and "lonely" after her wedding to Belafonte in June (07) after dating him for just four months.

Young Frankenstein the Musical
The creepy pharmacist from Desperate Housewives in Gene Wilder's role? I don't think so! But I'm trying to have an open mind about this.
Young Frankenstein (aka- one of the best comedy movies ever) has been turned into a musical by creator Mel Brooks. Preview shows are going on now in Seattle.
This is familiar territory- Mel took his movie The Producers, added dancing and singing to make it The Producers musical, then made the musical back into a film.
Even if Young Frankenstein the Musical is good, let's hope they don't try and do a movie. I don't care how funny an actor is, no one will replace Gene Wilder. And Madeline Kahn. And Marty Feldman. You get the idea. I'm a fan.
Also in the cast is Megan Mullally from Will & Grace playing Elizabeth, Madeline Kahn's part. "Sweet mystery of life I've finally found thee!"
My gays say it is hilarious, but they don't love the movie like I do.
Tell me- have you seen Young Frankenstein the Musical and is it any good?

Now a search is on for a young boy to take over the role from Daniel Radcliffe who played the wizard Potter on screen as well as a big-name composer to write the music for the show.

Woof Woof! Vick Suspended Without Pay
Michael Vick, creep du jour, turned in his plea today, the usual I did it but not really, but kinda.
He is saying he bankrolled the gambling, but didn't bet and didn't take any of the winnings. Oh, ok!
-LB
Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended the Atlanta Falcons quarterback indefinitely without pay, just hours after Vick filed a plea agreement that portrayed him as less involved than three co-defendants and guilty mainly of poor judgment for associating with them.
Vick acknowledged bankrolling gambling on the dogfights, but denied placing bets himself or taking any of the winnings. He admitted that dogs not worthy of the pit were killed "as a result of the collective efforts" of himself and two co-defendants.
Goodell wasn't moved and didn't bother to wait until Monday, when U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson will formally accept the plea and set a sentencing date likely to land Vick in prison for one to five years.
He is saying he bankrolled the gambling, but didn't bet and didn't take any of the winnings. Oh, ok!

Detectives visited the home and then called one of the rapper's lawyers and told him that the conditions for the animals at the property needed to be improved or deputies would take action, Arpaio said. The dogs were not being fed or given water.

More Recalls- Baby Carrots
Carrots that may be contaminated with bacteria that could cause diarrhea, nausea, fever and vomiting have been recalled, a California company announced. The product labeled “genuine sweet baby carrots” was recalled because the carrots might be contaminated with the bacteria called shigella, the Los Angeles Salad Company announced.
The product was sold under two labels, one labeled “Los Angeles Salad Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots” with a “sell-by-date” up to and including Aug. 16, 2007 and the other labeled “Trader Joe’s Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots” with a “sell-by-date” up to and including Aug. 8, 2007. For more information, consumers can call the company at 1-626-322-9017.
I have some Trader Joe's baby carrots, but not that kind. Here is Trader Joe's info.
Are we having more recalls this year than ever? Or do I just notice them more? I guess check the FDA Recall web site daily before you eat anything! Hope no one is peeing in my pea patch so I can grow my own food. Heck, a little urine is nothing!

I saw that he was on today and tomorrow so I DVR'd it, and let me tell you- soaps are just as cheesy as when I watched them years ago. Rick's storyline involves a rock star (played by Rick) that is hurt so Noah (also Rick of course) must sing for him because there is a sold out concert, but Noah hurt himself, etc. Seriously, very crazy storyline.

Bill Murray- Maybe He Really is Carl From Caddyshack
Bill. Golf Cart. DUI. Sweden. The details:Police officers spotted the "Caddyshack" star early Monday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police.
"He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation," Holmlund told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "So we applied the old method — a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in."
Murray, who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court, Holmlund said.
"Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America," Holmlund said
This is the best part:
The golf cart had been on display for a week outside the downtown hotel where Murray and other VIPs attending the Scandinavian Masters golf tournament, were staying, tournament head Fredrik Nilsmark said.
Murray apparently drove the golf cart to the trendy Cafe Opera nightclub, less than a mile away, and was pulled over on his way back to the hotel.
Nilsmark said the vehicle wasn't intended for guests but added: "I don't hold any grudge against Bill Murray for borrowing our cart for a while."

On The Lot Finale- Spielberg Shows Up
There's been a reality show on this summer that hardly anyone watched- On The Lot, where aspiring directors make short films each week. I've seen a few of the shows, but not many. Carrie Fisher and Garry Marshall were the regular judges, with a real director rotating in each week. I like Carrie Fisher and she had some funny comments to tell the directors, like: "That was as painful as adolescents, and being dumped by a man...for a man." True, Carrie's baby daddy turned out to be gay.Will won, and at the end was seen shaking hands with Spielberg, and walking thru the gates of Dreamworks. I don't think we should expect On The Lot season 2.

The Media Finally Reporting That The Dogs Weren't the Cause
A man who died at the home of action star Ving Rhames most likely did not die from bites from Rhames' dogs, county coroner's officials said Friday.
Jacob Adams, 40, was living on Rhames' Brentwood property as a caretaker for the actor's dogs when he was bitten Aug. 3, police said.
The medical examiner who conducted Adams' autopsy Aug. 7 said the bite abrasions and lacerations on the man's body were most likely nonfatal, said Capt. Ed Winter of the Los Angeles County coroner's office.
"We're not saying the bites were definitely not the cause of death, though," Winter told The Associated Press.
An exact cause of death was still unknown pending a toxicology report to be released in about six weeks, he said.
Ving Rhames told PEOPLE that he has the dogs back, and they will probably go live on a friend's farm in Texas.

Talk About Pressing Your Luck
A contractor to the Pentagon is up on charges of fraud. In one instance, in 2006, the government paid C&D Distributors $998,798 in transportation costs for shipping two 19-cent washers.
Among the invoices the Pentagon paid before the scam was discovered:
• A 2004 order for a single $8.75 elbow pipe that was shipped for $445,640, according to the documents.
• Also that year, a $10.99 machine thread plug was shipped for $492,096.
• Last year, six machine screws worth a total of $59.94 were shipped at a cost of $403,436.
One of the owners of the business committed suicide, the other, her twin sister, has plead guilty but says her sister was the main person behind it. They bought luxury houses, cars and plastic surgery with their take of $20 million.
How about some people at the Pentagon being held accountable for paying almost $1 million for two $.19 washers. That's a 2.5 million % markup. Dang. Those contractors were ballsy. And stupid. They were ballsy and stupid with plastic surgery. Was it Courtney Love?

Mattel announced recalls Tuesday for 9 million more Chinese-made toys, including popular Barbie, Polly Pocket and "Cars" movie items, and warned that more could be ordered off store shelves because of lead paint and tiny magnets that could be swallowed.
The recalls came nearly two weeks after Mattel Inc., the nation's largest toy-maker, recalled 1.5 million Fisher-Price infant toys worldwide, which were also made in China, because of possible lead-paint hazards for children.
The government warned parents to make sure children are not playing with any of the recalled toys.

Ving Rhames Comments
Ving Rhames released a statement Monday offering condolences over the death of his caretaker, who was mauled by the actor's dogs at Rhames's Brentwood, Calif. home earlier this month.
"I was out of the country when this shocking and terrible tragedy occurred on my property," the statement reads. "Jacob Adams was not just a devoted employee – he was also a dear friend. I want to offer my heartfelt condolences to his family."
Although Rhames goes on to say that a "coroner's report confirmed that my dogs were not the cause" of Adams' death, the Los Angeles Department of Coroner tells PEOPLE that an autopsy is still pending, and no initial findings have been released.

The Scoop on Celebrity Dog Poop
Add Enrique Iglesias to the list of celebrities that don't pick up after their dog.
Recently, TMZ reported that Billy Ray Cyrus didn't pick up his dog's poop.
Then on today's Regis and Kelly show, Enrique said he only picked up after his dog in his own yard. When Kelly pressed him on the issue, he said the poop was good for the ground, and that Miami didn't have any laws about picking up poop.
Leave it to good ol' Gelman, the producer, to print up the Miami pooper scooper laws and make sure Kelly read it to Enrique. He seemed unphased, probably because the punishment was $200 annually.
C'mon Miami, stronger poop fines!

Who Knew Being a Game Show Host Was So Dangerous
New 'Price Is Right' host Drew Carey suffered an arm injury while rehearsing on the set. TMZ reports that it was his arm that was caught in a moving part of a grocery game.
Carey was taken to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Hospital as a precaution but was released and returned to the set wearing a soft cast. Other reports said his hand was swollen and suffered a gash. New episodes of the game show staple began taping with Carey earlier this month.
CNN should've had it on their list of most dangerous occupations, right up there with miner and fisherman. Or Drew should just sack up.

I'll Take a Vowel: Merv Gr_ff_n D_es
Merv Griffin, creator of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy dies from cancer at 82. His "The Merv Griffin Show" lasted more than 20 years, and Griffin's said his capacity to listen contributed to his success.
"If the host is sitting there thinking about his next joke, he isn't listening," Griffin reasoned in a recent interview.
But his biggest break financially came from inventing and producing "Jeopardy" in the 1960s and "Wheel of Fortune" in the 1970s. After they had become the hottest game shows on television, Griffin sold the rights to Coca Cola's Columbia Pictures Television Unit for $250 million in 1986, retaining a share of the profits.
