Fool me once shame on you...Fool me twice well I'm just a fool . OPRAH DOPED AGAIN!!

First of all I'm pissed, because I happen to see that Oprah show and was almost in tears of such a beautiful story, now a beautiful lie. Oprah Winfrey called Herman Rosenblat's tale of how he met his wife in a concentration camp "the single greatest love story" she'd ever heard. Only problem -- it isn't true. Rosenblat, who survived the Holocaust as a young boy, had written a memoir telling the story of meeting his wife of 50 years when she was a farm girl who tossed apples over the fence at a concentration camp. Then, claimed Herman, he met Mrs. R. 12 years later on a blind date. Well, lovely though it was, the story was made up, and now the memoir is being yanked -- and Oprah is once again red-faced over a story she championed very publicly. 79 year old Herman now says I wanted to make everybody feel good. Then why not just write a non-fiction still would have worked, I would suggest we beat the Old fart with the book, but instead I will let him R.I.P.!!! Since he is now being sued by the book company e.t.c.

Oprah gushed over James Frey's alleged memoir "A Million Little Pieces," only to find it was faked.

Bikini Wearing Alica keys Eating and Chillin' on her Vacation!!

It's completely juvenile to make fun of these Alicia Keys bikini pictures because she happens to be eating, but whoever said I can't be juvenile at times? It's actually kind of refreshing to see, what with all those anorexic chicks who could really use a cheeseburger. Still, there isn't almost a single frame in which Alicia Keys doesn't have something in her mouth in these pictures, so it's a just a bit funny. Making girls with curves a little happy right now.

JENNY FROM THE BLOCK IS HEADED FOR DIVORCE!!

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez will announce plans to end their 4.5 year marriage in February, according to a new report from the NY Daily News.

“Marc and Jennifer are planning on announcing their divorce right after Marc’s show at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 14. Jennifer is planning on joining Marc onstage for a surprise duet. Things haven’t been right for a while now, and they thought it would be a bittersweet farewell.”

“They’re definitely planning a clean break in February.”

The couple, who have been married just over four years and are the parents of 10-month-old twins Max and Esme, renewed their vows in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony back in October, but sources close to the pair say that it didn’t help, and that their relationship has been on a downward spiral in recent months. Lopez, 39, set tongues wagging when she arrived at “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” premiere in early December without her wedding or engagement rings.

Similarly, Marc, 40, has been spotted ditching his own wedding band at N.Y.C. hot spots such as Bungalow 8. He was also caught partying — bandless — with pal Eva Longoria Parker at Lavo in Las Vegas on Dec. 8.

Steve Harvey & Katt Williams Beef??!! Hyped On Jamie Foxx Satellite show!!

First of all aren't they too old for beef? This is something that is left up to those "Dead Brain" rappers. A new standup comic beef has emerged between Katt Williams and Steve Harvey – mostly on Williams' part – that is expected to be settled during a head-to-head battle on New Year's Eve in Detroit. Instigating from the sideline is fellow comic Jamie Foxx, who joined co-hosts of his Sirius XM FoxxHole radio show on Dec. 19 to comment on the absurdity of Williams calling out Harvey in advance of their Dec. 31 show. First, Foxx plays a clip of Williams dissing Harvey: "I wanna apologize for what's gonna happen," Williams said of the joint comedy gig. "But the second that you get on stage, I need you to understand that that's your final time as the 'King of Comedy.' Water seeks its own level, you can't stop it playboy. It is what it is, so I hope you're ready. I hope you got a team of writers. You gonna need about six or seven of 'em…." Steve Harvey then calls in and says he's confused by the whole thing.

"I've always been cool with Katt. I didn't know who he was," Harvey told Foxx and crew. "I mean understand, I didn't know who he was when I was on the radio in LA. He hadn't been in any movies or anything, and the brother was just not that known. He was talking about me in the clubs, and I just asked on the radio, whoever Katt Williams is, to call me.

"He called me, we straightened it out. We became friends. We've been cool ever since, so I thought."

************************************************************************************ HOUSE OF GLITZ: This is silly..but if I had to pick who is funnier "Pimp Down" Katt Williams
