Carmen Electra Happy to Work the Engagement Pole
If you pushed the snooze button instead of listening to Ryan Seacrest’s morning show on KIIS-FM, then you probably don’t know that marriage engagements are like stripper poles and that Carmen Electra doesn’t much care for paperwork. (Like they say, the early bird catches the, um, writhing, squirmy bit of information.)
While we had already told you that Carmen is in no rush to marry fiancé Rob Patterson, we didn’t know that her hesitation was due not to the fact that she’d been married twice before but to an aversion to filing.
Confused? Here’s how Carm tells it…
“I feel like being engaged feels nice, because it’s a commitment but there’s no paperwork. And, um, I dunno. I feel like we’re happy, so whyI dunno, there’s no reason to push it to the next level when we’re content and we’re happy the way we are.”
Ryan says he understands, kinda.
Ryan: It’s a portable stripper pole. You could really take it down from the ceiling if you had to, but you’re still committed enough so you don’t fall down.
Carmen: Exactly, exactly.
Ryan: And that’s what it’s all about.
Carmen: And that’s what it’s all about.
It is? Maybe we did hit “snooze” after all and just dreamt this whole, surreal thing.
Move Over, Clay: Ruben’s Got a New Tag-Team Partner
Looks like the Velvet Teddy Bear has found a long-term snuggle bunny.
American Idol season-two champ Ruben Studdard obtained a marriage license in his hometown of Birmingham, Ala., Monday morning.
According to the Birmingham News, the 29-year-old “Flying Without Wings” singer and his 30-year-old fiancée, Surata Zuri McCants, obtained the paperwork in Shelby County just before noon.
While Studdard has not publicly confirmed a date for the nuptials, the document is good for 30 days.
Here’s hoping his proposal wasn’t too pitchy.
Amy Winehouse Is Banned From the USA
Amy Winehouse Is Banned From the USA
If you were planning on seeing Amy Winehouse in concert in the United States, you may want to cross your fingers, as the Rehab singer currently is banned from entering the country.
Speaking to ‘This Morning’, Amy’s father Mitch claims that his troubled daughter was duped into signing a drug possession confession - and now she cannot get into the USA.
Apparently, Amy was asked to sign paperwork after her recent arrest for cannabis possession in Norway. Without getting legal advice that could easily have been afforded, Winehouse gave her John Hancock without knowing what she was signing.
Mitch said of the situation, “It (the marijuana) didn’t belong to her, it belonged to someone else on the tour. They arrested Blake, Amy and the person who was responsible. They only released them after they signed a form, which they were told was a release form,” he said.
Amy’s dad added, “It (the form) was in Norwegian. It was actually a confession, so this is being dealt with now by the Norwegian authorities and the British consulate because the ramifications of that are that she now can’t get into the States and she was meant to go next week.”
Currently, there are motions in action trying to lift the ban, but whether or not Amy will be able to make the trip as scheduled is still up in the air.

Michael Jackson About to Lose Neverland Ranch
It’s an iconic place named after the fantastic world of Peter Pan. But unless Michael Jackson comes up with some serious cash soon, he’ll lose Neverland Ranch.
The “Thriller” singer has been foreclosed on by Financial Title Company, who filed a notice of a trustee’s sale yesterday.
According to the paperwork, the “Beat It” singer will have to pay more than $24 million if he hopes to remain the owner of Neverland. And he must do it by March 19th to avoid a public auction.
In the event that Neverland is auctioned, it is important to note that the new owner will take possession of everything on the property, to include rides, furniture, appliances, etc. Jackson hasn’t lived there since 2005, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Stay tuned to the for the latest on Jackson’s ranch.
