When stars shave their heads, couch-jump, spend countless minutes in jail, commit a fashion faux pas and/or other random acts of ego-inspired inanity, washingtonpost.com Celebritology blogger Liz Kelly is on the job. Every weekday, Liz shares the buzz, offers perspective and provides crucial links to juicy alternate news sources and, of course, takes your reaction in her daily blog.

Join Liz LIVE every Thursday at 2 p.m. ET to gab about the latest celebrity pairings (and splittings), rising stars (and falling ones), and get the scoop on the latest gossip making waves across the Web.

In her pre-celeb obsessed days (as if!), Liz ran washingtonpost.com's Discussions section, where she enjoyed talking to really interesting people -- sometimes even Post reporters -- on the phone. She still produces Pulitzer-prize winner Gene Weingarten's weekly Chatological Humor discussion.

Liz Kelly: I swear I didn't plan it this way. But the same day my interview with John Schneider -- in which he talks about his animal rights epiphany -- runs, Oprah has also announced she's going vegan (though she's going way beyond vegan and giving up gluten, alcohol and sugar) for 21 days and PETA opened voting in their annual Sexiest Vegetarian poll. Earlier today Russell Brand and Kristen Bell were leading.

What else? You tell me...

U Street: Dear Liz, LOST isn't on tonight. What am I supposed to do? Also, will Jack save me one day? (Desmond is married is real life and therefore not an option)

Liz Kelly: Okay -- quickly, no "Lost" tonight, but Jen and I will have a gap week "Lost" post tomorrow morning and be on hand for our usual Friday 2 p.m. "Lost" Hour chat.

Lostity Lost Lost Lost.

McLean, Va.: Has Gene Weingarten catapulted Tim Russert into Celebrity Territory with his latest expose?

washingtonpost.com: Urgent Breaking (Wind) News! (washingtonpost.com, May 22)

Liz Kelly: Hmm. I wonder where he found that...

Inquiring Minds: Sounds like there will be lots of new reality shows to watch for:

"Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Wrestling" -- this has possibilities!

"RuPaul's Drag Race" -- they'll be crowning a drag queen.

"Hurl" -- contestants stuff themselves, try not to barf, and perform stunts.

I'm not making this up. Check Reality Blurred.

Liz Kelly: That last one is just great. We truly are an empire in decline.

Thanks for bringing up reality shows, though, because it reminds me to remind you that "Living Lohan debuts Monday night at 10:30 p.m. ET.

Cuz when else would a reality show about a 14-year-old air?

Malaysia: CaCa

Mariah Carey/Nick Cannon

Yeah -- last week's discussion -- but by far the best name.

There's not much celeb gossip here in Kuala Lumpur (I just moved from D.C.) ... so you're helping fulfill my brain candy needs. Thanks!

washingtonpost.com: Celebritology Live (washingtonpost.com, May 16)

Liz Kelly: Yes, CaCa is a good one. I also like Ma-Nick. A sort of aptonym.

Rock of Confusion: How can Sharon Osbourne host Rock of Love's charm school? Her children aren't exactly the most charming and she's technically been "teaching" them for...how many years?

Liz Kelly: Well, it all depends on the definition of charm. I'm guessing there's a sliding scale. What passes for charm at a cotillion might be a bit too old school for Daisy, Heather and the rest of the born-on-a-stripper-pole gang. And who better to teach them what passes for charming in the hair band world than the woman who managed to snag and keep Ozzy Osbourne happy for almost 30 years now?

_______________________

Umm...: Howdy, Liz. Your pals over in Reliable Source posted a quote from Pete Wentz about his and Ashlee's honeymoon, which consisted of inflatable palm trees, a tanning booth and DiGiorno frozen pizza in their basement.

What... the... freak? There are other ways NOT to spend $30,000!

Liz Kelly: Right -- apparently they spent their honeymoon in their basement. Which sounds hellish to me, but hey, I'm not in touch with what the kids are up to these days. Maybe basement is the new cool.

Alexandria, Va.: Cheryl Burke and Gerard Butler? True?

(Those two really get around don't they? At least they haven't hooked up with John Mayer -- yet -- though.)

Liz Kelly: Accordng to various reports around the Web: Yes, no and maybe.

Burke initially said denied any romance, saying the two are just good neighbors in the same L.A. apartment building. But according to this report (true or not, we don't know), Burke did go on at least one blind date with the much-drooled-over "300" actor.

Vienna, Va.: Liz! This is a really important question that you can help answer for me! I have been vegetarian for over 10 years and the only thing that I get a craving for sometimes is a hot dog. I've tried veg hot dogs in the past and cannot find one that doesn't taste gross! Do you have any suggestions for a good veg hot dog?

And to relate this to celebrities...uh...who do you think is the hottest vegetarian celebrity??

Liz Kelly: Yes, in fact, I do. Though it comes second-hand, via Mr. Liz. He swears by Tofurky Beer Brats. Yes, they sound gross, but he said they are utterly satisfying with a nice spicy mustard.

More of a sausage than an actual hot dog, but I've never had much luck w/ veg hot dogs.

As for your last question, please see intro.

Sasquatch: What does John Mayer have that I don't?

Liz Kelly: Apparently a guitar and a phat bank account.

_______________________

SW D.C.: I read today that Usher and his wife of nine months Tameka are calling it quits. Conveniently a few days before his new album drops. We've seen this before from Ush when he dropped his last CD "Confessions" after abruptly breaking up with Chili. I've heard rumors that both relationships were publicity stunts to garner more publicity. Could that be true?? Would stars actually go though something as elaborate as a fake wedding/relationship just to get mentioned on blogs and TV?

Liz Kelly: I just did a quick search and, yep, there are rumors swirling at YBF and elsewhere that Usher has indeed split from wife of nine months and baby-mama Tameka Foster.

And, as you say, there are just as many rumors saying this is a publicity stunt to boost sales of his upcoming album.

How does that work? "Oh, Usher's getting divorced? Suddenly I have an uncontrollable desire to download his entire back catalog"?

_______________________

More on Mayer: When did John Mayer get gross? I thought he was sort of a vanilla pop balladeer, and then after he starts dating Jennifer Aniston it turns out he is.

Liz Kelly: Wait -- please explain. Whaddya mean "gross?"

_______________________

Sasquatch: What does John Mayer have that I don't?: Don't forget the hideous sleeve of tattoos!

Liz Kelly: Sas -- you're aiming that comment at the wrong girl.

_______________________

Lost isn't on tonight?: What should you do?

Duh.

Wolf Trap/Lord of the Rings

Liz Kelly: Oh, duh! Right!

_______________________

McLean, Va.: If Kathy Hilton could have that manners show on TV, why can't Sharon Osbourne? Jack and Kelly aren't any worse than Paris and Nikki.

Liz Kelly: Right. There's nowhere to go but up!

_______________________

Wallingford, Conn.: I can't believe you made no mention of American Idol this morning. Is John Schneider really bigger news? When you get press front row seats for the concert, will you pass them on to me?

Liz Kelly: I don't cover "Idol," that's why. Rocci will post a link to the avalanche of "Idol" coverage we do have, tho.

_______________________

Re: Tim Russert: Whether or not he did the deed won't he have to start denying it now that the video is all over the place?

Liz Kelly: It'll be interesting to see if he actually addresses this. He seems like the kind of guy who can have a little fun at his own expense.

As Gene pointed out to me -- forget the sound effects and listen to what he's saying. It makes no sense. It's as if he knew what was coming and was freaking out, just saying anything while he tried -- vainly -- to keep the inevitable from slipping out.

_______________________

Dirt on Dirt: Liz: Do you watch Dirt, the Courtney Cox show about celebrity culture? (Hasn't been on for a few weeks, so I don't know why I'm thinking about it.) I don't know why I watch it, and I was hoping you might say something redeeming about it?

Liz Kelly: I watched a couple of episodes of season one, but just couldn't get into it. Has it improved? What do you like about it?

_______________________

What does John Mayer have that I don't?: Jennifer Aniston.

Liz Kelly: Right. The obvious answer.

_______________________

15th and L: I have never had a good reason to like Oprah until now. If anyone can spread the vegan word to the masses, whether I like it or not, it's Oprah. Please let her keep with it...we need a different spokesperson besides (barf) Pam Anderson!

Liz Kelly: Well, don't count out John Schneider. Imagine what a win it would be for the veg cause if Bo Duke stopped eating meat.

_______________________

Chantilly, Va.: Is it possible to get a copy of an interview TV Guide did? It's a very old interview (late 1950s). I did send TV Guide an e-mail but heard nothing. Do they provide reprints? Do you (or anyone else) know?

Liz Kelly: Hmmm, no idea. Have you tried a library with a good microfiche archive? Does the Library of Congress hold on to this stuff?

Pittsburgh, Pa.: Liz,

I thought your comment last week about Halle Berry's baby not being interesting enough to be sought out was insensitive and maybe a little racist even. I think she's just holding back until the baby matures a little. We didn't see Suri or much of Shiloh until they were old enough to be cute (about 5-6 months old). I'm certainly curious as to what the baby looks like, but like the other babies listed above, I can wait until it's out of it's 'larval' stage so I can see what the baby really looks like.

Liz Kelly: Whoa. Carm down.

What I said was not in the least racist. Halle is a big star, but doesn't even approach the likes of Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes or Brangelina. It's just a different echelon of interest -- partly because she's just not as big a celebrity. She's every bit the actor that the others are, but she keeps herself out of the tabloids most of the time. I'm sure it's a conscious decision every bit as much as I believe the constant flood of TomKat and Brangelina pix are a conscious decision on the part of those stars and their publicists.

In fact, here's exactly what I said:

You're right -- we haven't heard much about little Nahla Ariela Aubry in the two months since her birth. But that's a good thing, right? I'm glad that Halle's managed to restrain herself from turning a profit on baby pix and I just don't think pix of Halle's offspring are as sought after as pix of Suri or the Brangie pack.

So, it's insensitive to pat Halle on the back for keeping her private life private?

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: "As for your last question, please see intro"

No, we want to know who YOU think is the sexiest.

Liz Kelly: Okay, hold on. I don't have the list of veg celebs memorized.

I do remember reading that Anthony Keidis had gone veg and, if so, he's probably my no. 1.

Runners up: Joaquin Phoenix and Damien Marley.

And I just think it's cool that Geezer Butler is veg.

_______________________

John Mayer: I actually think he is quite smart and has played the music biz game quite well. He has his mainstream music, and then he has the stuff that he actually seems really passionate about -- blues. He is a darn good guitar player. I dunno. Not exactly my type, but I respect him.

Liz Kelly: Okay, thanks for sharing.

_______________________

Sasquatch: What does John Mayer have that I don't?: no back hair

Liz Kelly: This person's got a point, Sas.

_______________________

Richmond, Va.: Let's get accurate about Oprah's 21-day diet. She's not doing it cuz she has moral issues or doesn't want to eat animals. It's a 21-day cleanse to look 10 years younger. She will go back to eating meat afterwards. I question the vegen crowd's rush to use this as PR and misrepresenting her reasons.

Liz Kelly: Well, it does shine a light on the health benefits of an animal-free diet, though. So I can't blame PETA and co. for using it to flack their cause a little bit.

And why can't Oprah just go on that second-rate "10 Years Younger" show on TLC?

_______________________

Basements: Maybe they didn't want their honeymoon interrupted by onlookers? Or maybe he's just strange and she's willing to play along.

Also, how on earth did he even end up with her? Reminds me of Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa, except with less talent and a smaller bank account balance.

Liz Kelly: Dude -- there are whole tropical islands you can go to and not be interrupted by onlookers. They may have a nice basement -- one that isn't at all the picture I'm getting in my head of Ned Flanders's rumpus room, but then the whole glam possibilities are kind of shot by the mention of subsisting on DiGiorno pizzas. What, was the store out of Jenos pizza rolls and Steak-Umms?

_______________________

Oprah's vegan quest: I envy people with the willpower to be vegan -- I've tried but am usually overcome with intense cravings for red meat or a good piece of fish that I always succumb too. My body does not like the veg way. I know when Oprah puts her mind to something she usually does well, but food seems like one of weaknesses.

Liz Kelly: Everyone's different. For me, my diet became way more diverse once I became a vegan. I guess I was forced to think outside my usual dietary box.

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: Liz,

I don't really follow Celeb news (it's not you, it's me) so I haven't been following Celebritology that closely. So why was I so excited to meet you on Sunday?

Liz Kelly: I honestly couldn't answer that for ya, pally.

I met a lot of people on Sunday (at The Hunt), but especially enjoyed the guy who came up to me and said something like "Yay! Flat front pants!"

_______________________

We didn't see Suri or much of Shiloh until they were old enough to be cute (about 5-6 months old). : That is babyism! Babies aren't cute until they're 5 months old? Wait 'til the babies hear about this. Those 3-month-olds are going to be angry!

Liz Kelly: Right. Exactly.

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: "Whoa. Carm down"

Can I just say that, as a blog lurker and occasional poster under various handles, I wasn't really a fan of the whole catchphrase-palooza that resulted from Booby Kennedy Day (I thought we were verging on p-ny territory). However, I found your use of the above literally LOL funny.

You have another convert.

Liz Kelly: Wooo hoo! Thanks. See, there's a time and a place for everything -- you just have to be judicious with it.

_______________________

Richie Cunningham, : I'd like to comment on my wife, Oprah.

She just wants to tick off the beef association again.

Liz Kelly: Okay, thanks Richie.

_______________________

Tralfamad, Ore.: Mutt Lange dumps Shania for that dog? Wasn't there some other celebrity recently that was helping himself to the hired help? If I were a hot celebrity spouse, I would make sure my entire staff was over 60 and ugly.

Liz Kelly: Whoa -- "dog" is a little harsh, don't you think? Maybe it was just a bad picture.

_______________________

Ok, I'm being snarky...: Just got back from 110-degree Vegas, so I'm a bit snarkier that usual (no, really), but I read the news about Oprah with a loud "Ha!" since she recently attributed gaining weight to a thryroid problem. Which is it, thyroid, or extra cheeseburgers?

kay, snark over. Any Daniel Craig news? Please?

Liz Kelly: Dude, I've got nada on Daniel Craig. But let me take this opportunity to link to this picture of him, just in case anyone isn't familiar with his body of work.

_______________________

Sasquatch:

So if I shave or wax my back, I'll be John Mayer?

Liz Kelly: Well, John Mayer or PeeWee Herman. But we won't really know until you do it. That's the catch.

_______________________

Alexandria, Va.: Have you seen the Simpson/Wentz wedding photo? Is he honestly wearing that ridiculous hair with a bow tie? Bow ties are not punk rock (or whatever he thinks he is, I don't know).

Liz Kelly: Dude, if that guy is punk rock, then I am Joey Ramone.

I probably mentioned this before, but at this year's Correspondents Dinner, Pete was more coiffed and made up than most of the women in attendance. And he described his shoes as "Dolce." Which just made me want to punch him.

They were nice shoes, tho.

_______________________

Daughter Due Soon: I need a cooler-than-celebrity name for her. (So Suri's out.) Thanks.

Liz Kelly: Okay, let's mobilize -- suggestions? I like Shiva Rose -- as in Dylan McDermott's soon-to-be-ex. I'm also partial to short, happy names like: Ruby, Lily, etc.

What else?

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: I met John Mayer once in a diner one night in Beverly Hills. He wasn't very nice.

Liz Kelly: Well then it's settled. We don't like John Mayer.

Did he charge you $10 for a photo?

_______________________

Pleat, L.S.: Where can I find a find a suit with flat front pants included?

Nothing fancy, no bank buster price tags either?

Liz Kelly: Nordstrom. Mr. Liz found just such a suit a few months back for a very reasonable price.

_______________________

Mens Wear Dept, Tysons Corner: Is that a pleated front bathing suit I see on Daniel Craig?

Liz Kelly: Those aren't pleats.

_______________________

Dude -- there are whole tropical islands you can go to and not be interrupted by onlookers.: Maybe they have certain things in their basement that are hard to come by on these islands.

Liz Kelly: Like a closetful of Dolce.

_______________________

21-day cleanse: I think it's a bad approach to teach people, very similar to the crash diets, the lemon juice diets of the world. What's best is a balanced diet (which can or not include modest amounts of lean meat). Teaching the crash 21-cleanse approach is NOT beneficial to our society's overall health.

Liz Kelly: Right -- I'm all for moderation and lifelong healthy eating habits. The word "diet" almost sets you up to fail ultimately because you just feel denied by definition.

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: So does Mr. Liz wax or not? The blog has been debating back and forth on the necessities of waxing.

Liz Kelly: No waxing, but he's also not an Andy Garcia.

_______________________

sjcpeach: Liz -- Can you please start linking to that Daniel Craig picture every time Gene asks you to post one of Scarjo? It's about time the ladies had some nice eye candy to ballance the scales!

Liz Kelly: That, peach, is a fabulous idea. Consider it done.

_______________________

I need a cooler-than-celebrity name for her. : If you really want to be unusual these days, try something like "Jennifer."

Liz Kelly: One idea.

_______________________

Daughter Name: Daisy!

Liz Kelly: But see, this raises the whole "name association" problem. I liked Daisy until this past season's "Rock of Love." I guess you'd get past it, but I know for a good year I'd be thinking of hair extensions and collagen lips every time I said my kid's name.

_______________________

Halle Berry and kid pix: I heard an interview in which Ms. Berry said pointedly that she and her partner chose not to sell photos of the baby, as it's a bit unseemly. Hats off to her. And yes, I'd like to see the exact 501(c)3 org receipt for the Brangelina/Shiloh millions, before I will believe those 2 gave all the money to charity. Yes, yes, they give to charity, more than many celebs...but that whole exchange was, well, unseemly.

Liz Kelly: Thanks -- again, another pat on the back for Halle.

_______________________

Baby Name: Go retro. Name her Donna.

Liz Kelly: Oooh, or Dolores.

_______________________

Chicago, Ill.: Re: Daniel Craig Photo

That's Hot!

Thanks for making my day.

Liz Kelly: Happy to help.

_______________________

They were nice shoes, tho.: But were they real? Were they spectacular?

Liz Kelly: Thanks for weighing in, Sidra.

_______________________

Baby Names: This Web site is way cool:

The Baby Name Wizard

Liz Kelly: I don't have time to peek now, but I'll take your word for it.

_______________________

Centre Hall, Pa.: Howdy Liz,

So... I know that this is seriously jumping the gun, but are you and Jen planning to be online blogging about J.J. Abrams's new show, "Fringe," next fall? The preview last night (during "AI") had a few creepy characters -- not to mention a plane flight -- overlapping from that "L" show that we're not allowed to mention in this forum.

And speaking of "L," will you and Jen be online tomorrow for the L-Hour chat?

Liz Kelly: I think we're going to stick to "Lost." We both have other gigs and there's a whole TV blog devoted to the rest of the primetime line-up (or parts of it). Maybe you can lobby the Style folks who contribute to cover "Fringe."

_______________________

Yo Fatty: Yo Fatty Carm down is funny enough to me without the back story but I'd love to see it anyway. Any chance you can post it? Thank you!

Liz Kelly: Oh boy, you'd have to go back to the Miley Cyrus kerfuffle (aka Booby Kennedy Day) of a couple of weeks back and read the entire comments thread.

_______________________

Aha! Baby name.: I give you... Sidra.

Liz Kelly: Seven!

_______________________

Veg hot dogs: I love Morningstar Corndogs (sort of fits the bill, right?). However, I have never had a real corn dog so I don't know how to compare. My meat loving husband loves the things though, so to me that says a lot.

Liz Kelly: Cool -- I'll have to give them a try, tho I do try to limit this stuff. It's pretty much every bit as processed as the real thing.

_______________________

More baby names: Helen? Ruth? Old fashioned, but nice.

Liz Kelly: A friend just named her daughter Maxine, which I thought was really cool. I'm guessing it will lend a certain civilized air to the playground.

_______________________

The word "diet" almost sets you up to fail ultimately because you just feel denied by definition. : Like her Slimfast "diet" of the 80's. Or was that the early 90's?

I went to the Memorial Day concert Website -- didn't see anything about dress rehearsal (GOGO mentioned it) -- do all the "regulars" attend that, too?

Liz Kelly: Ya know, I'm not sure. Anyone from PBS out there with an answer?

_______________________

McLean, Va.: One thing that the parent to be should not do: name his daughter after something memorable he or she sees around the time of the baby's birth. Otherwise, the baby runs the risk of of being "Two Dogs....".

Liz Kelly: Or Corn Dog.

And that's just wrong.

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: This stretches the bounds of "hot" news or new gossip, but ... what's the deal with Jennifer Aniston? Does she do anything? I see her IMDb page listing six projects, both post-production and "announced," but she really seems to be a non-worker. I mean, nice work if you get it, but is this perception correct?

Liz Kelly: She's filming "Marley and Me" right now with Owen Wilson. I doubt she works any less than other actors on her same pay level. It's not really a year-round gig.

_______________________

Librarian to the rescue: Library of Congress does have TV Guide from 1954 onwards. Or you could submit an Interlibrary Loan Request at your local library and they can try to track it down for you. If you have access to a university library, they may have it too.

Liz Kelly: There you go! Thanks so much for writing in. I'm guessing you just made someone's day.

_______________________

Another girl's name: Audrey

Liz Kelly: Ooh, yes -- I love "Audrey."

_______________________

Concert dress rehearsal: Found it after I posted my other request...

Memorial Day Events

Liz Kelly: There you go...

_______________________

Alexandria, Va.: Liz, I know you're not entertaining Lost questions, but you can't leave U Street (from the beginning of the chat) pining in vain. Please let that person know that Jack/Matthew Fox is also unavailable -- married with kids. They'll have to look elsewhere. Maybe Jorge Garcia?

Liz Kelly: I think Jorge may actually have an SO, too. But we know Dominic Monaghan is single since Evangeline Lilly dumped him last fall.

_______________________

My fav Irish baby name: Bronwyn

Liz Kelly: I like that better than the confusing Siobhan. Did I even spell that right?

First, it's impossible to pronounce and, second, it's the name of a tranny who appears regularly on the Howard Stern show.

_______________________

Seattle, Wash.: Ahhh, veganism.

All the self-righteous joy of fundamentalism without any of that messy God stuff....

Liz Kelly: See, there you go assuming someone different from you is self-righteous. Tsk tsk.

_______________________

Beaker: Aha! Baby name.: I give you... Sidra.

Liz Kelly: Seven!

Mulva?

Liz Kelly: Hee hee.

_______________________

Audrey: Think of the female role on Lost that you can't stand. The analogous role on 24 was Audrey, aka Kim Raver, whose best acting was when she was in a coma at the end.

Liz Kelly: Gotcha.

_______________________

Chantilly, Va.: Librarian to the rescue -- thank you, thank you, thank you!

Oh -- did I remember to thank you?

Liz Kelly: I love this show. See, we're a virtual clearinghouse of information. Maybe next someone will opine about Woody Harrelson and corn dogs.

_______________________

Corn Dogs: just read an article about Woody Harrleson that says he despized either corn dogs or the idea of them but didn't eloborate.

He must not like Mary Jensen.

Anyone know why he hates them before I look it up on the Internets?

Liz Kelly: Wow, I so called that one.

_______________________

New Mom To Be Here: I love the old-fashioned trend. Thanks, everyone! When Baby is a big star in 2035 and people are naming their kids after her, you'll have yourselves to thank!

Liz Kelly: Glad we were able to help. Again, powerful proof that Celebritology Live is all about giving back.

_______________________

Hometown, America: Here's something I've often wondered but usually when I'm driving and can't write out a question to you...

Do you subscribe to all the celebrity magazines, your Peoples, your Us Weeklys, your Entertainment Weeklys, you get my drift. Do you have the paper copies or do you 'read all about it' online, only?

Liz Kelly: I usually read 'em all online. Just easier -- plus the Web sites are way more up-to-date than the dead tree versions. But I do occasionally get drawn in by a Star in the checkout aisle.

_______________________

byool, IN: But seriously: Why do your chats seem to go by so much faster than anyone else's? It's like they last 12 minutes!

You need two hours. Surely Rocci can handle it?

Liz Kelly: Well that happens when you arrive late and read it all in the last quarter of an hour.

Trust me, two hours of this would be way too much fun. We'd go in fine but come out talking gibberish like Gary Busey. We'd all be wanting to pull our endocrine systems out and make packs out of them.

And on that note, I am out of here. See the "Losties" back here tomorrow at 2. The rest of yas, have a fab holiday weekend.
