Jess and Tony, sittin' in a tree ...

Jessica Simpson told Glamour Magazine that she's still getting blamed for boyfriend Tony Romo's struggles on the football field. "Everybody takes everything out on me," she said. "But that was ludicrous."

She says Romo has "reintroduced me to myself." Here are a few other quotes from the interview:

On flirting with Romo in the beginning through e-mail: "We got to know each other by talking, which I think is the best way."

On why it's easier to date an athlete: "There's too much competition [with a musician]. There's too much know-it-all pop star."



No pity parties here for crappy shows

I used to go to Television Without Pity all the time in college, as one of the many distractions I would use to put off writing papers. I kind of forgot about the site when I didn't have to use it to procrastinate anymore, but it's still around, recapping tons of TV shows, from the good to the bad to the so-bad-it's good.



Better late than never

Gretchen Wilson didn't need a high school diploma to make it big in the country music business. The 34-year-old "Redneck Woman" singer has sold millions of albums and won a 2005 Grammy. But now the ninth-grade dropout is ready to don a cap and gown for a May 15 ceremony after passing her GED exam in April. Her reason? Her 7-year-old daughter. "I certainly don't want her to think you can be this successful without an education," Wilson said.



The Daily Fur: Kitty hero

IRAQ CAT LADY OF BAGHDAD.JPG

Have you heard about the Cat Lady of Baghdad? That's what she calls herself anyway, and she can add herself to the long list of heroes in Iraq right now. Louise (who only uses her first name for security purposes) is a security consultant in Baghdad who also runs a animal rescue unit. She has managed to send two dogs and five cats (including Simba, above) to her native England. Each trip costs about $3,500. Read more about Louise and the Simba's journey here.



That didn't take long

Fresh off the raging box office success of Iron Man, Marvel Studios on Monday announced release dates for four future superhero movies.

Iron Man 2 is due out April 30, 2010.

Thor will arrive in theaters June 4, 2010.

The First Avenger: Captain America will debut May 6, 2011.

The Avengers will light up the big screen in July 2011, on a specific day to be determined.

Marvel also has Ant-Man in development but without a release date. FYI, the original lineup of the comic book version of the Avengers was Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man, the Wasp and the Hulk.

Oh, that reminds me. The Incredible Hulk, starring Edward Norton, is scheduled for June 13.



The New Kids' new tune

A snippet of the New Kids on the Block's (or are they going by NKOTB now?) first new release since ... well, a long time -- has popped up on the Web. And the verdict on "Summertime"? It's actually really cute and catchy -- a perfect, bouncy little jingle for summer. Good move on their part going for a sweet summer anthem -- check it out!
