Page Six is reporting that right-wing agitator and controversy-seeker Ann Coulter's jaw is wired tightly shut.
Apparently it was broken, but by whom, no one seems to be sure. We could hazard a guess, but why throw roses yet.
The blogosphere is already aquiver over the idea of a forced Coulter Moment of Silence.
Finally, the Right Wing Barbie Doll has to shut up. This is, after all, the woman who called 2004 VP nominee John Edwards the F-word in 2007 while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the 'gay hate word' " so I'm -- so, kind of at an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards, so I think I'll just conclude here and take your questions."
The rehab reference was a right-wing joke (and we use the term loosely) about actor Isaiah Washington using that word for his Grey's Anatomy co-star T.R. Knight and been forced by the network to undergo psychological treatment.
But her unfunny comments drew criticism from all fields, Democrats, Republicans and gay rights groups.
But here's the best part about the Coulter broken jaw news. No really, this is really good: Seems she has a brand new book titled GUILTY due out in early January and, of course, was all booked on TV and radio talk shows to discuss the "much-needed reality check on a Left gone wild," declares the book's jacket.
Her latest work reportedly exposes and mocks the media's love affair with all things Democrat and all things President-elect Barack Obama.
Too bad Ann won't be able to say a word about her new book.
That's just a gosh darn shame. [The Envelope]
A security guard shot and killed a man wielding two Samurai swords Sunday on the grounds of a Scientology building in Hollywood, police said. The unidentified man approached three guards around noon in the parking lot of the Scientology Celebrity Centre, Los Angeles Deputy Police Chief Terry S. Hara said.
The man was "close enough to hurt them" when one of the guards shot him, Hara said. Detectives were questioning the guard to figure out the swordsman's motive and determine whether the shooting was justified.
Surveillance tape showed the man arriving at the center's parking lot in a red convertible, then approaching the guards with a sword in each hand, Hara said. "The evidence itself, it's very, very clear," Hara said. "The security officers were defending their safety."
Detective Wendi Berndt told the Los Angeles Times the man was involved with the church a long time ago. "There was a previous relationship, but it is unclear to what degree," Berndt said.
Calls to Scientology spokespeople were not immediately returned Sunday.
The Celebrity Centre includes a seven-story Norman-revival landmark that towers over the Hollywood freeway and used to be a residential hotel for movie stars. The castle-like facility now serves as "a home for the artist, a place where he can come and learn, attend seminars, meet other artists and even perform at our many showcases and events," according to the center's Web site.
The Church of Scientology was established in 1945 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. It teaches that technology can expand the mind and help solve problems and claims 10 million members around the world, including celebrity devotees Tom Cruise and John Travolta. [AP]

Prince has said that he does not believe that gay marriage is "right." The singer told The New Yorker that he disagreed with a liberal "Democrat" view of life, pointing to gay marriage as something condoned by the party that he disagreed with because it clashed with the teachings of the Bible. "God came to Earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out," he said. "He was, like, 'Enough.' "[In the USA] you've got the Republicans, basically they want to live according to [the Bible]. But there's the problem of interpretation, and you've got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn't."And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you've got blue, you've got the Democrats, and they're, like, 'You can do whatever you want.' Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right." [yahoo music]
Karen: Okay, tell me you don't wish you were his kids' nanny! http://omg.yahoo.com/news/peoples-sexiest-man-alive-hugh-jackman/15572?nc
Joan: um, his wife needs him to dress up for her? frankly, isn't him being smokin' hot enough? sheesh.
Karen: Hey, whatever works for them, as long as they’re in it together, is my feeling. Now, him being smoking hot and dressed up means:
-smoking hot cowboy
-smoking hot tough guy
-smoking hot whatever his role is tomorrow
I’d say she’s got the best of EVERY world right there...
"At some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won't be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black." [eonline]
The Kennedy Center's posthumous presentation of the Mark Twain Prize to George Carlin had the feel of an Irish wake as a who's who of top comics paid irreverent tribute to the pioneering social satirist on Monday night. Jon Stewart, Lily Tomlin, Bill Maher and Joan Rivers were among those who took part in the raucous event at the Kennedy Center. Carlin was named this year's Twain Prize recipient in June, one week before his death at age 71. Presenters also included Lewis Black, Garry Shandling, Denis Leary, Richard Belzer and Margaret Cho. When they weren't poking fun at Carlin or at frequent target Sarah Palin, comics were praising Carlin's social criticism and his impact on their own careers....Carlin's family looked down from a box at the center's Concert Hall as a parade of video clips spanned the influential comic's career...The Twain Prize, in its 11th year, is produced by Bob Kaminsky and Peter Kaminsky, Mark Krantz, Cappy McGarr and WETA Washington. Event will air on PBS stations April 1. [variety]
Jennifer Aniston is sounding off about her ex-husband's current partner, Angelina Jolie. In a new cover story for Vogue magazine... Jennifer said Angelina's interview with the fashion magazine in January 2007, in which the "Changeling" star revealed details about the start of her romance with Brad Pitt, was tough to read. "There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening," Aniston said in her new interview, which will appear in Vogue's December 2008 issue. "I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss." In the original January '07 article Jennifer was referring to, Angelina told Vogue that it was clear Brad was "with his best friend, someone he loves and respects." But, Angelina's comments about the excitement she felt going to work on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," where she met Brad, were stinging. "That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool," Jennifer said. [omg/yahoo]
Lindsay Lohan is finally speaking at length about her relationship with celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson. Though she first confirmed she and Samantha are a couple during a phone-in to syndicated radio show "Loveline" in late September, in a new cover story for the December issue of Harper's Bazaar, Lindsay tackled the question again, revealing more about her feelings for the DJ. "I think it's pretty obvious who I'm seeing," Lindsay told the magazine, which hits newsstands November 18. "I think it's no shock to anyone that it's been going on for quite some time... She's a wonderful person and I love her very much.... "Ali's known Samantha for a really long time.And she's like, 'Whatever it is, I support you. I probably won't ever do what it is you're doing, but I'm happy for you,'" Lindsay said. "Ali's very mature. I've told her that it's okay to like a boy or a girl if you're comfortable with it and it's something you believe you want to do. And I told her not to be afraid of who she wants to be." While Samantha is the first woman Lindsay has admitted to dating publicly, when asked if she had previously "been with a girl" by Harper's, the actress replied, "I don't know, maybe." Lindsay said she does not consider herself a lesbian, but as for whether she thinks of herself as bisexual, she told the magazine, "maybe." [omg/yahoo]
Just a day after Kate Winslet revealed in a Vanity Fair interview that she still feels like the "fat kid," critics in her home country are lining up to claim she still is. But the svelte five-time-Oscar-nominee isn't having it: "Kate is furious at suggestions that her body has been airbrushed," her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. ... "She is in terrific shape and what you see is how she looks or she would never have agreed to pose for those shots," adds her rep. ... "I just didn't want people to think I was a hypocrite and that I'd suddenly lost 30 lbs. or whatever," the youngest ever five-time Oscar nominee said at the time. "So I just came out and said, 'Look, I don't look like that'. I'm not mad at the magazine, but I have no intention of looking like that." Winslet's rep does admit that minor tweaks were done to the actress for the photoshoot but insists the work was confined to skin shades only. "The only retouching was the usual work on skin tone that happens in every glamour shoot," adds the rep. [people]

I was walking up 6th ave. in midtown and 2 men were walking right next to me. Then they stopped and starting talking...I nonchalantly glanced at them and the man right next to me was KEVIN BACON. I looked away and stole a second glance to confirm and sure enough it was the Bacon. He had on a fitted hat and a scarf tied stylishly around his neck. He’s quite tall and very thin and his hair was dark brown. I was too shy/in a rush to get to class to talk to him. Besides, I’m the type of person that leaves celebs alone....
