The exquisite Gabourey Sidibe has just informed her Facebook followers that her mother, Alicia Tan Ridley, will be appearing on tonight's episode of "America's Got Talent."

Here's a clip from Bossip that shows mama singing in the subway.

The Britneyfication of J.Lo

Yup, that's former Fly Girl Jenny from the Block as she appeared last night at the Apollo Theatre event, looking moderately altered, again, wearing a weave that looks like it's been around the block a few times... near Sunset Blvd.

A good deal of Mrs. Anthony will be 41 in July.

And Now This Dance Interlude

Wash and Set Miss Jones

In what I believe is only her second public appearance since undergoing cardiac surgery in late March, Starlet Marie Jones, 48, appeared on the red carpet at the Apollo Theater Spring Benefit Concert on Monday... looking as fit as a griddle. Wearing a sporty new two-toned hairdo, Miss Jones ambulated without assistance in a pleated pink mini.

Prince Harry and Prince William kibbitz with an African rock python during a visit to Botswana today. I suppose that's what one does when they go to Botswana.

The Princes will also visit Lesotho and South Africa in support of their favorite charities... and then they'll stop in Cape Town to see England vs. Algeria in the World Cup.

The rock python rarely attacks humans, but the species can easily kill an adult by constriction.

Turban Tuesday: Royals in Nutty Hats, Part 863

The goyals, er, I mean royals, were at it again on Monday with their wacky millinery, as seen most plainly above with plain Princess Anne, the poor dear, whose only benefit of this chapeau is that it hides her unfortunate tresses.

The pomp and pageantry was part of the Order of the Garter.*


Even future Good King Willie looked like some Mardi Gras frat boy. However...


nothing can detract from the regal majesty of Betty Deuce!

*"The Most Noble Order of the Garter is an order of chivalry, or knighthood, originating in medieval England. The Order is dedicated to the image and arms of St. George as England's Patron Saint, and is presently bestowed on recipients from British and other realms; it is the pinnacle of the honours system in the United Kingdom. Membership in the order is limited to the sovereign, the Prince of Wales, and no more than twenty-four members, or Companions; the order also comprises Supernumerary knights and ladies (e.g., members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs). Bestowing the honour has been described as one of the Monarch's few remaining truly personal, executive prerogatives." --Wikipedia
