McCartney owes, Minnie grows, Ray's show, celebrities act appropo and Madonna is gross
• Paul McCartney will have to pay Heather Mills $50 million in a divorce settlement to be announced on Monday, the U.K.’ Evening Standard reports. Macca should be able to knock that out with another iTunes deal no problem.
• Minnie Driver confirmed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that she is pregnant, but wouldn’t disclose any other details. Like, what the heck she did to talk her way into that job on The Riches.
• Reports of Rachael Ray’s TV demise are unfounded, the New York Daily News says, with CBS Television Distribution pointing out that her show actually has a waiting list of 150,000 prospective audience members. That’s a lot of 30-minute meals.
• Not On Our Watch, a charity founded by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle, has donated $500,000 to the United Nations World Food Program, the AP reports. And that’s just from the spare change under their couch cushions.
• And finally, the cover of Madonna’s next album, Hard Candy, has been released. We’re thankful it will only be about an inch tall on our iPod. (Yes, that’s two Apple references in the same item. Sue us.)


Make this your daily (heck, hourly) stop for a fresh serving of pop smarts and cool things from around Tampa Bay and the nation. Compiled by tbt* jack-of-all-trades Joshua Gillin and his merry band of rogue journalists, it pokes fun at ridiculous celebrity worship, collects entertainment tidbits and features fun links to amuse and amaze you and your friends.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't 50 million what McCartney originally offered to keep this out of court? I was expecting her to get like 400 million. Thank God she didn't.
