In the new issue of Elle Magazine, Kate Hudson shows how graceful she is on dates:

“I’ve been on so many bad dates,” Hudson confessed. “I went on one where I just left because he was so boring. I felt really bad, and I didn’t want him to pay for dinner.

It’s like, ‘It’s really nice to meet you’ – moving on!

Then you call your friend and you’re like, ‘Really? Really? Is that who you think I would have a great night with?!’”

Can you imagine?

She simply got up and left?  What a lasting impression that must have left the poor fool who took her out in the first place.

Couldn’t you come up with a nice way to let the guy down, Kate?

Dancing with the Stars is the new launching pad for entertainment TV hosting.

First, Mario Lopez became the host of Extra.

And now, Samantha Harris will join CBS’s The Insider, according to reports.

Harris, best known as co-host of the ABC show Dancing With the Stars, will be a correspondent and substitute anchor for the show, starting Monday.

E! Online is reporting that mortuary director Keith McSweeney confirmed that Jett’s body is being cremated.

“The remains will be turned over to his family tomorrow,” he said.

A funeral service was expected Wednesday in Ocala, Fla., where the Travoltas have a home.

Scientology on Defense!

In response to the claim that the family might not have sought appropriate, conventional medical treatment for Jett’s seizures, Tommy Davis from Scientology International says that simply isn’t allowed under Scientology practices, according to reports. 

“Scientologists seek conventional medical treatment for medical conditions. Scientologists use prescription drugs when physically ill and also rely on the advice and treatment of medical doctors. The church does not involve itself in the diagnosis or classification of any medical condition,” says Davis.

On death, Davis says, “In Scientology, we believe that you have lived before and that you will live again. The spirit, which is you, is immortal and you are not your body. You as an individual are an immortal spiritual being and simply put, you have lived before and will live again, lifetime after lifetime. In Scientology, these past existences are simply referred to as past lives.”

On the funeral service, Davis says, “The Scientology funeral service celebrates the life of the person who has departed his body. Friends and family have the opportunity to say goodbye, to acknowledge and thank the person for what he or she has done in this lifetime, and to wish them well as they move on to their next lifetime. The service is a reaffirmation of the knowledge that we are immortal spiritual beings.”

Gwyneth Paltrow is the new diet expert for all of us!

The actress and creator of GOOP.com sent out a newsletter detailing her unique plan to battle the post-holiday bulge.

“I need to lose a few pounds of holiday excess,” Paltrow explained. “I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year, the most hardcore one being the Master Cleanse I did last spring. It was not what you would characterize as pretty. Or easy.”

Rather than going the lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper route this time, Paltrow and her detox diet doctor came up with a plan allows the star to eat real foods.

The nutritional nos include fatty nuts, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers, processed foods, cheese, milk, meat, shellfish, sugar, gluten grains, soy and any items containing caffeine or alcohol.

Thank you Gwyneth!  We love you!
