Kansas City Royals fans can stop worrying about guilt as there won’t be 25 crying kids in the crowd when David Cook gets back into town. The American Idol contestant was approached by the baseball team to sing the national anthem at a game on May 9. The thing is 25 elementary kids were already book to do that job. Being the great guy that he is, David instead chose to sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’ during the 7th inning and throw out the first pitch. David was invited to the game because if he survives another week of Idol, he’ll be heading home to Missouri for a visit.

Jessica Simpson was released from hospital last night after being treated for a minor kidney infection.

The 27-year-old singer checked into Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Friday complaining of “feeling achy” and suffering a “fever”.

But Jessica’s representative Lauren Auslander says the star has responded well to treatment and is now at home ‘doing fine’.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Jessica’s current squeeze, was unable to be by her side due to football commitments in Dallas.

Earlier this month, Jessica took a trip to Iraq where she performed for the troops. She is currently working on a country album.

Nevermind the fact that he’s hot - David Beckham has a heart of gold as well.

While in Shanghai, China, Beck visited the Xinhua hospital to spend some time with the pediatric leukemia patients. He talked with and held the children while there.

Besides visiting patients, he also serves as the UN Children’s Fund goodwill ambassador and travels to underprivileged nations to help children.

Singer Sheryl Crow has slammed the media for prying into one of the most devastating periods of her life, and the people who bought the tabloid reports for entertainment.

The 45-year-old was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2006 just days after ending her three-year relationship with fellow cancer sufferer and cyclist Lance Armstrong.

And the star believes the events sparked an ever-present paparazzi frenzy that put a strain on her recovery.

She says, “Having 100 paparazzi outside my gate at all times because of the terrible things that were happening, it really spoke to me about who we are. If this is what makes people want to buy magazines - someone at their absolute lowest - that is a very sad message. I found the whole experience was very difficult. I went from being linked with one of the most famous cancer survivors to then begin diagnosed with cancer.”

The woman has a point…

Umm, all I can say is I’d like to be an Oreo cookie.

The fine Peyton and Eli Manning have both joined the Double Stuf Racing League. Yeah, that’s the Oreo cookie league that’s popping up in commercials. Watch your television to see Eli and Peyton licking away, trying to beat the other in finishing the creamy middle.

Peyton says, “My brother and I have always enjoyed friendly competition both on and off the field. We also have fond memories of enjoying Oreo cookies and milk together as a family going back to our childhood days, so the DSRL is a natural second sport for us.”

Mmm, mmm, good.

Thanks to Terrell Owens, everyone and their mothers know how much of a distraction Jessica Simpson is to her boyfriend, Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo. If you want to help your team win against Tony’s team, go to the new website aptly called Ruin Romo.

Their goal is to get as many people to print out a cut-out of the blonde singer’s head, make face masks out of them and wear it en masse to any upcoming Dallas Cowboys games. It’s something so ridiculous and outright funny but you never know – it might just work. And with Romo playing the worst game he has ever played when Jessica showed up, there’s a good chance there.

Despite rumors of Tony having an affair, the couple is putting on a united front.Last week, French model Alexandra Paressant announced that she had an affair with Tony Parker, husband of Eva Longoria. The couple has jointly denied those rumors of infidelity.

Tony says, “I love my wife. She’s the best thing in my life, and I have never been happier.”

They continued to appear in public together, attending a Lakers/Spurs game in L.A. on Thursday. They exited a plane in Texas last Friday night, holding hands and kissing. Sources say they continue to be playful and affectionate with each other.

A faithful celebrity husband? Whoda thunkit?

Victoria Beckham is slowly building her name as a fashion icon but she has some really weird picks for the styles that she loves. She actually told the Mirror that she loves Amy Winehouse’s style! If it’s good enough for Chanel, it’s definitely good enough for Posh.

“She has a real sense of style that I just love. She’s very much a fashion icon and I adore what she wears. She’s so unique and original. I’ve never met her but I just love her music - I’ve always got it on at home with David and the children. She’s an amazing singer.”

Well it may have been his first knockout but Ricky Hatton really was seeing stars after his defeat against Floyd Mayweather this weekend. Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie went back to the dressing room after the fight to make sure that Ricky suffered no lasting damage.

Well I know it was a career breaking moment, but I bet Ricky was dead chuffed. Especially being as Angelina was accompanied by Brad Pitt.

The couple sat less than 20ft away from the spot where brave Brit Ricky was knocked out in the tenth round. It was the first boxing match Angelina had seen up close and she visibly grimaced when he went down.

Ricky vows he will return; saying, “Mayweather was better than I thought. Sorry, everybody, it wasn’t my night, but I will be back.”

Don’t panic, football fans, I don’t mean on the pitch. No, Victoria Beckham has told hubby that he is banned from attending the first gig of the Spice Girls’ reunion gig because she is too nervous.

Awe. Poor David. And I bet he just couldn’t wait to be the ever supportive husband and watch the five girls in Vancouver, Canada as they kick off their hugely anticipated world tour.

Most husbands like to be supportive but David claims his wife is constantly changing her mind. “One minute Victoria is saying she wants me there and then it’s, ‘No, don’t come to the first show, as we’ll all be too nervous.’ But I think I’ll be at the show a couple of days later in San Jose and have the boys with me. And I know Victoria will ring me as soon as the first show ends. She says the rehearsals have gone amazingly well.”

Ah well, stay home and watch the footy eh David?

It was just a day ago that Helio Castroneves was names the newest winner of Dancing with the Stars. Now, word has it that he and his fiancee Aliette Vazquez have separated.

He gave an exclusive statement to People Magazine, saying, “I can confirm that Aliette Vasquez and I have called off our engagement and are no longer together.” He also stated that he would like his private life to remain just that for now - private.

This isn’t the first wedding date change for Castroneves. He and Vazquez had already postponed it once earlier in the season. His explanation, “Everything is happening so quick. The championship is over, the dancing started, and basically, I was like, ‘Ali, let’s take it easy. Otherwise we will be divorces before we get married!’”

Now, this would seem like a normal, everyday occurance in Hollywood. Strange thing is, though, he isn’t the first member of the Dancing with the Stars crew to break off an engagement this season. In May, professional dancer Julianne Hough postponed her wedding to fellow dancer Zach Wilson. Why is this strange? In case you’ve been living under a rock, Hough was Castroneves’ partner for the show.

Hmm….sounds fishy to me….

This time, though, it’s not the basketball court. Rodman is being sued in Las Vegas.

He is being sued by Sara Robinson, a former beverage manager at the Hard Rock Hotel. Her suit claims that the former basketball star assaulted her last year when he grabbed her, rubbing himself against her body and slapping her on the bottom.

According to the complaint, Robinson was working at the hotel’s Cuba Libre bar in March 2006. Rodman was a guest at the hotel and attempted to climb on top of the bar to get her attention.

It further alleges, “As Robinson stepped around the bar, Rodman grabbed her, pulled her towards him and rubbed his body against hers. Robinson tried to get free from Rodman’s grasp at which time he assaulted her by reaching down and slapping her open handed on the bottom.”

Robinson claims she filled out a voluntary statement giving all of the details of Rodman’s antics a month later, after another incident involving Rodman in the same bar. She says she was then fired and is not seeking unspecified damages.

Not only is Rodman accused of assault and battery, but she also accuses the Hard Rock Hotel of negligence for not protecting her from his “harrassing conduct”.

This is Rodman’s second lawsuit in Las Vegas, the first coming in 2001 when he was accused of rubbing dice on the head, chest, somach, and genitals of craps dealer James Brasich in an October 1997 game.

Maybe Sin City isn’t such a good place for Rodman…or maybe he just needs to keep his hands to himself.

Hip-hop star Snoop Dogg has hired his children the best soccer coach in the business - British sporting ace, David Beckham. The rapper struck up an unlikely friendship with Beckham during the late 1990s, and decided to call in a favor from the star when he moved out to Los Angeles earlier this year. What an unlikely partnership between the two of them. David I always though was not into this celeb drive and I though he’d always keep his integrity and not go hogging for money like a dog who has fire light up on his tail trying to find some water source to find some relief. As it stands now he cannot play because of an injury and most probably he has wrecked up a big hole in the budget of LA Galaxy soccer team who bought him from European soccer powerhouse Real Madrid. Now he has to repay them so he has to go teach some cracked ass’s son to hit the ball into the net and pick the ball up and place before the goal post.

David Beckham was in a somber mood yesterday as he rushed off from LAX to go visit his ill dad. He had just gotten the word that his 59 year-old Father had had a heart attack. David and his father were not on the best of terms because in 2002 Ted split from wife of 32 years Sandra. Disputes and misunderstandings apart, this is not the time when any son or daughter whose had a break-up or are not on talking terms to remember their old grievances. It is time that all bad things are forgotten and it is time to be besides your parents and look after them. David has done the right thing by leaving for UK and by not wasting any more time in USA. He’s got many contracts I know that but there is nothing more important in your life other than your family.

Last week Oscar De La Hoya and pictures of him dressed in drag where the highlight of my week. There was something about him dressed in woman’s panties and fishnets that somehow just made the week go by that much faster. Well the model that outted the boxer is singing a new tune this week–and it’s a lot different than her original story. As far as Oscar goes…those pictures are real. I smell a secret pay-off somewhere to shut this woman up. But those pictures haven’t been faked. And I’ll tell you, if he doesn’t sue her…and somehow fails to take this case to court before a jury, complete with photo experts, that will be all the answer we need to verify the actual authenticity of these photos!!! So basically she’s admitting that she’s a big fat liar and everything she said last week was all bull–and she expects us to believe her this week?
