Rapper Jay-Z has agreed to become the latest spokesman for Cherry Coke. Coca-Cola is relaunching the beverage on February 7 at a New York Fashion Week event. Jay-Z’s company Rocawear will handle the design of the new can as well as the TV commercials. According to Rocawear’s Jameel Spencer, it’s a slow day for celebrity news:

“Besides just recording, he’s making TV commercials and campaigns for brands… who is better than Coke? They’re the biggest. His role is helping brands not get it wrong the way McDonald’s did with African-Americans rapping about French fries. There’s a reassurance that they won’t appear like an out-of-touch uncle trying to act cool.”

Can’t help but wonder about the decision to use Jay-Z to peddle Cherry Coke. According to Cribs and rap videos, black people don’t drink Cherry Coke, they drink Cristal–usually while dancing on speedboats and Bentleys. Additionally, they always laugh when white gossip writers stereotype their entire race. At least that’s what The Source Magazine claimed last month in an article about my site. Apparently I also have my “finger on the pulse of Black America.” Hey I’ll take the accolades wherever I can get ‘em.

I’ve heard of taking your craft seriously but this goes above and beyond. According to an “insider” close to the production of Sienna Miller’s new movie Factory Girl, the sex scene between her and Hayden Christensen is real. The two actors–both 25–became very close on set while Sienna was taking a “break” from then boyfriend Jude Law. After “hanging out” for a month, Sienna left Hayden “devastated” after deciding she wasn’t ready for another relationship. According to a friend of Miller:

“Sienna wanted to try to make another go of it with Jude. But again, it didn’t work out. At the end of last summer, she and Hayden ended up in Toronto for more shooting. They hadn’t talked in six months. But it turned out to be a great reunion.”

Yeah, reunions are usually pretty fun when you come. Director George Hickenlooper was asked about the rumor by the New York Daily News

“I can’t comment. You’ll have to ask Sienna about it.”

Which means they had sex. Anytime someone gives a coy response to what seems like a ridiculous question, the ridiculous question is usually true. Like if someone asked you if you’ve ever whacked off to QVC models and you didn’t immediately start yelling at them, I’d have to assume that you have in fact whacked off to QVC models. Not that it’s anything to be ashamed of. There was this chick on last night modeling a silk blouse. She tried to play it off, but it was pretty obvious who those seductive stares were meant for.

A revealing interview with former Miss USA Tara Conner will air on the “Today” show tomorrow morning. Among other things, Conner admits to Matt Lauer that she’s abused cocaine and antidepressants:

“I’ve tried several different things. But, you know, it’s always the same effect,” she says. “The more that I get it off my chest, the better I feel about myself. It’s not healthy for my recovery to sit here and hold things back.”

Yeah, baby let it go, let everything hang out. Just don’t mention that little scene I caused in the dressing room of the Miss USA contest. Well actually it was more Miss New Mexico that caused the scene. Bitch couldn’t take NO for an answer. I don’t care what you can do with a cherry stem, I’m not bringing myself down to the level of a Miss New Mexico after what I just did to Miss California. Actually it was more of a mutual thing if you catch my drift.

Pete Doherty and Kate Moss entered a London rehab clinic yesterday to “battle their demons side by side.” The couple was noticed by passers-by as they entered the Capio Nightingale Hospital only a few block away from Kate’s home in North West London. Kate and Pete are no strangers to rehab, both having spent time in a facility before. According to a source:

“They arrived together and will be supporting each other. They looked very much a couple as they came in and she is clearly worried about him.”

I love all the romance surrounding Valentine’s Day. A dozen red roses here, a candlelit dinner there, a his and her stay at the rehab clinic to kick a heroine addiction. Nothing says love like walking hand in hand with your significant other to get your daily methadone injection. The first time Kate and Pete sneak away together to get their fix, they should interlock their arms while injecting each other. With a romantic gesture such as that, why even buy roses?

UPDATE: The Sun has an awesome video of Pete up today and it’s not of him trout fishing

The news just keeps getting better for Brandy! Now the parents of the dead accident victim are suing Brandy for $50 million. Yes $50 million. Brandy, the star of Moesha, five followed by seven zeros. Now I know these parents are sad about losing their daughter, but c’mon, get some perspective. They might as well have sued for 100 kajillion dollars and half of the Pacific Ocean. And maybe a lunchable or two. Those things are so damn delicious with their crackers and cheese and whatnot.

Sharon Stone thinks it’s ridiculous that Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington was forced into rehab–not for drugs or alcohol–but for calling costar T.R. Knight a “faggot.” According to Stone, she’s been calling all of her gay friends “big fags” for years:

“‘I’ve been called a bitch - and a lot worse - for years. And you know what, so what? People who think that aren’t going to change their minds. And I wouldn’t dream of sending them to therapy to ‘rehabilitate’ their feelings. How absurd. “Please, I call all my gay friends ‘big fags’.”

As much as it pains me, I have to agree with Sharon on this one. Rehab is for crazed junkies like Pete Doherty and the dude that plays the Reverend/dad on Seventh Heaven (his nose is like a damn vacuum cleaner), not for someone who said “fag” once. If I was put in rehab for every little homophobic slur I’ve said, I’d have missed a large portion of my childhood. Seriously, when I was getting my checkup at six months old, I called the doctor a fag. I still maintain there was no reason to remove my pants to check my temperature.

In the spirit of those revealing Eva Longoria pictures yesterday, here’s Heidi Klum walking around without makeup. Thanks a lot Heidi. All those great memories about the formative masturbating years of 1994-1998 are pretty much ruined for now (I’ve already torn down that poster of you). There needs to be a rule for retired supermodels. Like once they hit 40, they can’t go out in public looking like one of the Garbage Pail Kids.
