1. Favorite son
Looks like Sharon Stone has adopted another child, according to the New York Post. And Pauly Shore was just honored that she picked him.
2. Until Rosie arrives
A great weight has been lifted from us now that the Star Jones Reynolds saga is over, and in that sense we’re not unlike “The View’s” couch.
3. Stay back!
Wow, what a cover story today. I had no idea second-hand smoke was so dangerous. From now on, I’m not binge-drinking or eating Oreos anywhere near a smoker.
4. Spacing out
A giant asteroid is expected to pass really close by Earth on July 3, which for some reason only reminds me of how stupid the movie “Armageddon” was.
5. Phew
Ashlee Simpson’s rep tells tmz.com that his client turned down an offer to pose in Playboy. For the good of humanity.
6. Faith no more
The BBC says Nicole Kidman didn’t have to annul her marriage to Tom Cruise before marrying Keith Urban because Catholic officials don’t recognize Scientology weddings. Wait ’til they find out Keith’s a Snake Handler.
7. Correction
Keith’s not really a Snake Handler–though it’s possible he may have run into Larry the Cable Guy at an awards show.
8. Man of steely glare
Moments later, Brandon Routh would learn to never again mock his own wax figure–and he would learn it the hard way.
9. Who knew?
I’m reading that Michael Jackson is moving to Europe to focus on his music career. You know, because the vibe in Bahrain wasn’t quite right.
