Still attempting to make her new image seem genuine, Jessica Simpson has signed on to endorse a Texas-brewed beer. People, it just doesn’t get much more country than that.
Simpson is set to be the new face of Stampede Light Plus, as made by the Dallas-based Stampede Brewing Company. Other than the reflected glory and ability to say she’s really a country gal, Jessica will also get a 15% share of the brewing company.
In a statement, Simpson said she is “always looking for ways to diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people.”

John McCain in the Spotlight

For a man who seems to shun celebrity, John McCain certainly has been in the media a lot lately - and little of the coverage has to do with his policy or his plans for the country. The republican will now get more attention for a wholly different reason…he’s being sued.
McCain’s political strategy, thus far, has been to undermine presidential competitor Barack Obama by calling him that dirtiest of all words - a celebrity. In the ads, McCain shows clips of Obama with his adoring public while the Jackson Browne hit “Running on Empty” plays in the background. Here’s the problem: McCain never got permission to use the song.

Ed McMahon’s foreclosure troubles are finally coming to a close - and not in the way any of us expected. When the aging star announced his financial problems might soon leave him homeless, the world was shocked and dismayed. But, Ed, you used to announce Johnny Carson! Thanks to multi-millionaire Donald Trump, McMahon can continue kicking golf balls around his property - and the bank can stop breathing down his neck.
The Donald will purchase the McMahon home, circumventing foreclosure and keeping Ed in the style to which he has become accustomed - and the two didn’t even have to get married first. “I don’t know the man, but I grew up watching him on TV,” Trump told the media.

Parole Denied for John Lennon’s Killer

It was nearly three decades ago when legendary songwriter/singer/musician John Lennon was gunned down in front of his apartment building in New York City. This week, Lennon’s killer was denied parole for the fifth time.
The parole request was denied this time, as it has been denied in the past, “due to concern for the public safety and welfare.” Lennon’s killer was sentenced to twenty years to life by the state of New York. The murder took place on December 8, 1980.
Lennon’s killer will not be named in this article, per the request of former Beatle (and Lennon’s songwriting partner) Paul McCartney and Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono. When John Lennon was shot and killed, the two asked in a joint statement that the killer’s name never be repeated or printed. To do so would only give him the notoriety which he sought.

Lynne Spears, mother to Britney and Jamie, is going to make sure she’s every bit as interesting as reality star and parent Dina Lohan. The famous mom has been working for many months on a promised parenting book, which was already halted (“postponed the book indefinitely” was the way the publishers put it) when the news first broke that Jamie Lynn (16) was pregnant.
The book will indeed be released September 16, but it’s now much less a parenting manual and more a juicy account of what it’s like to raise two stars. The tome’s official title is Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.

UPDATE: You can read what many of Bernie’s friends had to say about his passing here.
Comedian Bernie Mac, the Emmy-nominated actor from The Bernie Mac Show, passed away this morning after a battle with pneumonia. He was only 50-years-old.
This announcement is particular shocking given the news released just a few days ago. On Thursday, Mac’s rep said the performer - who had been hospitalized in Chicago since August 1 - was responding well to treatment and was expected to be discharged within weeks. That claim contradicted earlier reports that the Ocean’s Eleven star was in “very, very critical” condition.
Earlier today, publicist Danica Smith revealed the sad news:
“Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.”
Our thoughts go out to his family.

UPDATE: The actor, who is reportedly in good spirits now, is suffering from a broken shoulder, broken elbow and shoulder damage.
As they say, bad luck comes in threes.
First there was Heath Ledger’s death. Then there was Christian Bale’s arrest. Now we’re learning of a serious accident for The Dark Knight’s Morgan Freeman.
According to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the actor and one other passenger were involved in rollover accident late last night. A vehicle the Oscar winner was driving reportedly left the roadway and flipped several times. Although the circumstances are still being investigated, it is not believed that drugs or alcohol were in any way involved.
Freeman - who was was heard talking and joking at the scene - was flown to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis where the 71-year-old is listed in serious condition. No status has been given for the other patient who was also airlifted.

Breast Cancer Diagnosis for Christina Applegate

Saying the past few weeks have been difficult for Christina Applegate would be putting things mildly.
In early June, an ex-boyfriend of the Samantha Who? star was found dead after an apparent drug overdose. Now we’re learning that the actress has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Coincidentally (?), Applegate was recently announced as a participant of next month’s Stand Up 2 Cancer telethon.
Today, the 36-year-old’s rep confirmed the medical report to the media:
“Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor-ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time.”
No announcement has been made so far as to how this may affect production on Applegate’s ABC comedy. Samantha is currently scheduled to return on October 6.
