Time for gossip briefs...

Fugitive film director Roman Polanski won’t re-enter the United States without the Sword of Damacles hanging over his head … at least not yet. A California Superior Court judge dismissed Polanski’s motion to remove his 30-year old underage sex with a minor prosecution to the California Judicial Council. The Court will hear Polanski’s Motion to dismiss the entire proceeding on January 21st. His victim, now in her forties, also advocates dismissal of the case.

Going, going, gone. Amy Winehouse’s jailbird, husband Blake Fielder-Not-So-Civil says it’s time for a clean break. Not from prison, silly, from Winehouse, for alleged infidelity. Blake’s mother can’t wait for the final decree. "It will go through this time, it will go ahead," vowed Mrs. Civil. The entire world watches and yawns.

This is all I want to say about Patrick Swayze’s recent battle with pneumonia. Fans can’t get enough of Swayze and will avidly support his new TV show “The Beast,” premiering on A&E at 10 p.m. on January 15th. Love the big guy and can’t wait to see him back at work. Get well soon!

 
 
 
That’s what I like, a TV game show host who can’t hold his liquor. Makes me feel smugly superior. At least I’ve never taken up residence in a gutter. The big bender happened last month, but Andrew O’Keefe only recently made amends.
 
Nazi impressionist Prince Harry spewed racist remarks at military cadets back in 2006 in this recently surfaced homemade clunker. The Spare referred to a Pakistani recruit as “our little Paki friend” and said, “You look like a raghead” to another soldier donning a head scarf. That sound you just heard? Princess Diana turning over in her grave. Bowing to pressure, HR Gingy belatedly issued an apology.
 
Nine out of eleven correct movie predictions, not bad if I do say so myself. I do and I did. Hey, maybe I can compete in the big leagues after all. Find other winners of the 2009 Golden Globe Awards here.
 
Motown is throwing a big blowout 50th anniversary celebration and everyone is invited. Outasight!
 
It’s ALIVE! Well, maybe. It could be in a life-sucking coma never to rear its hideous two-face puss again. They’re brainstorming ideas for the third Nolan/Goyer Batman installment and Harvey Dent/Two-Face might still – believe it or not – play a part. Always thought they might resurrect old periodontal breath.
 
In wedding bell news, Fergie and Josh Duhamel tied the knot over the weekend and are now happily ensconced on their honeymoon, Michael C. Hall married co-star Jennifer Carpenter, High School Musical’s KayCee Stroh married steady boyfriend Ben Higginson, Annika Sorenstam quietly wed her long-time boyfriend, Mike McGee, Ione Sky and Ben Lee married last month without tipping their hand to the press, and Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen announced their engagement, this time for real. Honest. Game on.
 
Daily Mail is floating a rumor about Gwyneth Paltrow. Seems the sleek sexy wife of Chris Martin and mother of two plans to open a chain of health spas with fitness trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson. Having personally spied Paltrow’s lithe body at last year’s MTV Movie Awards, I’ll be the first to add, “Whatever she’s doing, it’s working and where do I sign up?”
 
Until next Monday, gossip fans!
