Carmen Electra was spotted leaving Katsuya restaurant after having dinner there last night. She was friendly with the paparazzi, flashing a big smile as she left. Carmen looks like she’s doing well since calling off her engagement. I wonder what she’s been up to?

I’ve seen her hosting some events in Las Vegas. It’s been a while since Carmen released her striptease exercise DVDs. I’ve heard they were hot sellers, but I don’t know a single person who bought one. At least, I don’t know anyone who would admit to buying one- LOL.

Howard Stern, at least, doesn’t want to see fellow judge Sharon Osbourne quit the show ‘America’s Got Talent.’ Sharon announced she was leaving after NBC allegedly backed out of selecting her son, Jack Osbourne, to participate in ‘Stars Earn Stripes.’ Sharon and Jack claim NBC didn’t select him after he announced his multiple sclerosis diagnosis. Howard said on his radio show last week:

“I am going to talk to her about it when I get on the show. I would say ‘Hey, Sharon, let’s talk about whether you are staying or going [because of] this thing with Jack. I think it would be compelling television.”

That didn’t happen. Howard later said:

“I’m more than sad. I think that there’s a great dynamic between Sharon, Howie [Mandel] and myself. I think we’ve been doing a good job judging. I enjoy working with Sharon, I’ve known her for years.”

“I hope some sort of miracle can happen. Maybe she’s got to walk into [NBC top boss] Bob Greenblatt’s office and get down on her knees and beg him. I don’t know what’s going on I’m, I’m not privy to it, but I hope that she does return and maybe has a change of heart.”

Something tells me Sharon feels pretty strongly about this, and since ‘Stars Earn Stripes’ is on the air, NBC can’t exactly reverse their decision, regardless of why they made it. Do you hope Sharon has a change of heart and stays on ‘America’s Got Talent’?

It’s not just creepy photographers trying to get a shot up Lady Gaga’s skirt who have to beware. Over-zealous fans need to watch out, too! Lady Gaga was walking through the lobby of her hotel in Romania when a fan virtually accosted her, probably trying to get an autograph or a picture or something.

Lady Gaga’s bodyguard was NOT playing around, though. Look at how he grabbed the guy and threw him around. Goodness! I guess fans need to stand outside and wait for her to approach them to give her autograph. I can understand the concern: when someone comes rushing up at you from out of nowhere, you don’t know what they’re intentions are. Scary.

Apparently, Jon Stewart isn’t the only one who thinks Robert Pattinson should “kick [Kristen Stewart] to the curb.” Robert’s friends, like Tom Sturridge and Sienna Miller, are urging him to end his relationship with Kristen Stewart as well. (Sienna? Really???) Us Weekly reports his friends think Kristen will just hurt him again.

I thought Robert had pretty much decided to end things with Kristen anyway. But I guess a reconciliation is still possible. Kristen is young. They’re both young. Personally, I would’ve been shocked if they ended up married anyway, given the nature of Hollywood. What do you think: should Robert give Kristen another chance or end things?

It’s not quite like it sounds. Vanessa Bryant sat down for an interview with the New York Magazine. She made one thing clear: she has expectations for her husband, Kobe Bryant. He better be winning championships. But it’s not quite like that. Here’s what she said:

“I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can’t win championships. If you’re sacrificing time away from my family and myself for the benefit of winning championships,” she says, “then winning a championship should happen every single year.”

Okay, so that’s not as bad as it first sounded, right? Vanessa’s not saying Kobe has to be a championship player as a condition of staying married (although she’s put up with more than enough). Vanessa herself clarified her comments to TMZ:

“I’m sad to hear that comments in my New York  Magazine interview are being misconstrued and taken out of context. I have and will continue to support my husband’s dreams. I have been with Kobe for 13 years. I accepted his marriage proposal PRIOR to him winning any of his 5 championships with his teammates. For anyone to think otherwise is wrong. It is not about being married to a ‘winner’ it is about our sacrifice as a family.”

I think Vanessa’s meaning was pretty clear for anyone who took the time to read the entire quote, don’t you think?

Ryan Lochte clearly is looking to make the most of his fame after the Olympics! He has filed an application to trademark his catchphrase “Jeah.” TMZ got a copy of the trademark application: Ryan would like to use the term on “sunglasses, workout DVDs, gift cards, mugs, drinking glasses, trading cards, calendars, posters, swimsuits, swim caps, sports hats, and water bottles.”

TMZ reports Ryan’s already selling t-shirts, hats, and sunglasses on his website. Goodness! Ryan thought of the term “jeah” after listening to rapper Young Jeezy use the term “chea!” in his music. Ryan said “jeah” means something “good.” Well, everybody’s got to earn a living somehow. Ryan has the chance to make millions, so I don’t blame him for going for it.
