GenQ - For the not so straight individual

The stars are landing in Italy as the world prepares for the most talked about wedding, okay who really cares? Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning a little wedding this weekend, and everyone who will make a good prop is there. Basically, Tom Cruise doesn't really have any friends unless they're friends via Scientology; and you know he doesn't allow Katie to have friends either. Surely they invited James Van Der Beek and Joshua Jackson.... C'mon Katie, I'm sure they had your back on the set of Dawson's Creek. While I'm not sure if James or Joshua will be there, it does look like Jennifer Lopez, the Beckhams, Brooke Shields and Jada Picket Smith have all already arrived. George Clooney and John Travolta will probably be air lifted in as a part of the ceremony. This is really starting to get ridiculous.

Oprah on the other hand, she's not on the guest list. I'm surprised he didn't invite the Almighty O! That's where he started his year of wack-o rants and professed his love for Katie. Oprah told Extra-TV, ""It's not that I'm not going. It's that they had a limited number of people that they could invite. I was not one of the invitees. Don't worry Oprah, I didn't get an invitation either!

Meanwhile, Tom got his first job as a part of his new United Artists contract just days before the wedding. He'll star in "Lions for Lambs," a Robert Redford-directed drama that will co-star Redford and Meryl Streep. Oprah's best friend Gayle King revealed on her XM talk show Wednesday morning that her ex-husband stepped out on her. She told guest Will Smith that she was married to a cheater. She says she went through counseling after the 1993 divorce and she’s fine now. Gayle has been somewhat mum about her former marriage, and she also denies allegations that she and best friend Oprah are gay.

While I anxiously await her comeback; it looks like Whitney Houston has run into some more problems. Evidently Whitney's New Jersey mansion is slated to be sold at a sheriff's auction because she is more than one million dollars behind on the mortgage and taxes. If she can't come up with the money, reports say the state of NJ will sell her home on Jan. 4th. However, Whitney's publicists' assistant says that this isn't true. He said, she said, blah, blah. I'm begging. somebody save Whitney!!!

Speaking of come-backs, I hope Michael Jackson didn't consider his performance Wednesday at the World Music Awards a 'comeback,' because it sucked. I loved Michael as a kid, and as a young boy I'm sure he would have loved me too. It hurts my heart to think that his career is ending. Pretty soon he'll be nothing more than an old child molestor. Naomi Campbell is in trouble again too! Another former employee, Gabby Gibson, says the supermodel abused her. According to the papers filed in court, "Gibson says the model hit her on Jan. 17, called her names and threatened to charge her with theft after being unable to find a pair of Stella McCartney jeans. Bending over in the closet to search for the slacks, "Campbell either kicked or punched the back of Gibson's head ... while yelling discriminatory comments." The housekeeper describes Campbell as a "violent super-bigot" for making such remarks as: "You are not in the Third World any more, stupid," and "Romanians are not usually as dumb as you."

Finally This is news I never wanted to have to report... my secret lover, Mario Lopez, did not win Dancing with the Stars. I really wanted him to take home the top prize, but after seeing the final show... I guess Emmitt Smith is just as deserving. Congrats Emmitt! This is also the second win for his dancing partner, Cheryl Burke, who won last year as with Drew Lachey as her partner. There is some controversy surrounding the final voting though, a Missouri woman claims that hundreds of Mario's voters were accidently directed to her cell phone instead of the voting lines. Can we call Al Gore in for a re-count?
