Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini Joined at the Hip
Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini were like a couple of high schoolers last night at Elle's Women in Hollywood Tribute.
The two arrived hand in hand and then dashed through the predinner cocktail reception still holding hands. (A big burly bodyguard led them through the crowd, making sure no one got in their way.) As soon as they made it to their seats, they hung out like a couple of cool chicks in the cafeteria.
They talked, they giggled, and they took pics of each other with their BlackBerrys.
And it didn't end there...

Fire Claims Lives on Wisteria Lane!
Marc Cherry, the man behind the women of ABC's Desperate Housewives, just revealed some shocking news: Fairview will catch fire during November sweeps—and some won't survive the blaze.

Sarah Silverman: Laughing It Up With Kimmel Again?
While it's not exactly clear if Sarah Silverman is f--king Jimmy Kimmel, there have definitely been hints lately that she might be—starting with today's appearance on The View.
Barbara Walters broached the issue of a possible rekindling by bringing up Silverman's statement to the New York Times about her status with Kimmel: "We talk every day. It's fine, it's great. I'm doing his show at the end of the month. We're very Demi and Bruce."
The comedian wasn't as candid on the morning chatfest, though. "In total respect to you and your legendness, I do not feel beholden to define my personal relationship to you," Silverman playfully told Walters. "It's not like a big drama thing. We're just not, like, defining it. We're just being right now. Is that OK?"
Which might explain this weekend's sighting...

Idol's Taylor Hicks Goes Indie
Taylor Hicks is adding to the recent surge of news to come from otherwise forgotten American Idol types, announcing his next album will drop Feb. 10, 2009.
After getting dumped by J Records earlier this year, the season-five Idol champ will be releasing the still-untitled album through the indie company Artist to Market with an assist from his own label, Modern Whomp Records, to "connect more directly with audiences."

Listen up, ladies: Although they were spotted hanging out, Gerard Butler is not dating Jennifer Aniston.
"This came from a seven-minute conversation that we had at the Toronto Film Festival at a big party, and the next minute it's in all the papers," the sexy Scot told E! News at the premiere of his new movie, RocknRolla.
Silly Gerry—doesn't he know that even a quickie convo with Jen automatically means you're dating?

Jennifer Lopez: "I Had a Nervous Breakdown"
Multihyphenate Jennifer Lopez recently spoke on a wide range of topics during a very candid interview that she ultimately seems to have regretted—the Q&A was originally done for a major fashion magazine that quashed the story at Jenny's request.
But now it has surfaced online, and here are some of the highlights that really caught our attention!
• On having a breakdown while shooting the 2002 film Enough: "There was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies and so many things. I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did have a kind of nervous breakdown. I froze up on a set. Well, not on a set, but in my trailer. I was like, 'I don't want to move. I don't want to talk. I don't want to do anything'...Yeah. I did. I had a nervous breakdown."
• As for her thoughts on Scientology, whose famous members include pals Tom Cruise and Leah Remini...
Runway Still Can't Sew Up Premiere Date
Fingers crossed the parties embroiled in Project Runway's network-jumping litigation will take the advice of Tim Gunn and make it work. Otherwise, it may not be just the losing designers we'll be bidding auf Wiedersehen.
The show could take upward of a year to return to the small screen following next week's fifth-season finale, according to the Los Angeles Times, because of legal wrangling between producers and networks.
The Weinstein Company was expecting to jump ship, taking Project Runway and a planned spinoff, Models of the Runway, to Lifetime, but the New York State Supreme Court put the kibosh on the plans, granting the Bravo-owning NBC Universal's injunction to temporarily block the show from airing on another network.
The move has not only left Project Runway—which is already well into production on its sixth season—without a network, but without a timeline.
