Mary-Kate Olsen is celebrating the recession because she can buy cheap hats at Barneys.A Page Six spy, who recently shared an elevator at Barneys with the diminutive actress, reports Olsen was excited about all the discounted merchandise for the taking. "It's really sad, the recession is everywhere. But at least they are having good sales," said Olsen, who pointed to her hat. "That's where I got this! The recession!"
Someone smack her for me please.

Apparently the hand injury Shia LaBeouf sustained in his DUI car crash earlier this year is fairly serious, much more so than has been admitted in the past. "Shia's tendons had fused together, and right after the accident there was talk of a partial amputation," a source tells the Daily News. Good thing he's an actor and not any other job where he'd actually have to suffer the consequences: the writers for the Transformers sequel wrote his injury into the plot.

Courteney Cox says that divorce from husband David Arquette isn't something she'd ever consider. "I don't know what the future's going to hold, but divorce isn't really an option," Cox says. She says the couple attends counseling to work on their issues. "Therapy helps us. It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work. I suppose you can work it out by talking to each other - I would just prefer to have a referee, it reminds us why we're together."

Lindsay Lohan's girlfriend Samantha Ronson is recovering at home following her admission to a California hospital to treat an alleged struggle with exhaustion and depression.
I guess it would be exhausting making $3 million dollars pressing play on a digital turn table.

They are just 3 weeks old, but twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline are about to take the world by storm.In an exclusive interview and photos, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie offer PEOPLE an intimate look at their growing family.
"It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time," Jolie tells PEOPLE of daily life at the Chateau Miraval in Provence, France, where the couple's four older children - Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 - have been enjoying a summer of outdoor play (hide-and-seek is a favorite) on the château's sprawling grounds.
Adds Pitt: "[It's] still a cuckoo's nest."

Justin Timberlake might end up getting an Oscar nod - to host the Academy Awards, that is.

Annie Lennox says complacency threatens to slow the fight against AIDS.

Shia LaBeouf's lawyers are now saying that the actor's hand was "crushed" in the car accident he was involved with last week. We found Shia relaxing outside his Los Angeles hospital on a smoke break with his left hand and arm in a cast (and blood stains on his jeans) but Shia could still face complications. Shia's attorney Michael Norris released a statement saying, "His doctors remain hopeful that he will fully recover, but due to extensive surgery and the nature of the injuries, there remains a substantial risk of both infection and other complications."
Shia's injury will delay the filming of Transformers 2 however it will probably be written into the script.

Sadly, Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer her rep confirmed Saturday.

Shia LaBeouf has been all over NYC promoting Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the rising star also scored the June cover of GQ. I have to say this is a sure jump from his days on Even Stevens via the Disney Channel. His acting has improved and his overall appeal is soaring.*~*~*
Very exciting to me is the upcoming Fraggle Rock movie! My brother and I loved the show growing up and I am psyched it will be on the big screen. It's time to "Dance your cares away/ Worry's for another day/ Let the music play/ Down at Fraggle Rock!" The Fraggles are back! According to Variety, the Weinsteins are teaming up with Lisa Henson of the Jim Henson Company to bring a live-action, half-human half-puppet Fraggle Rock extravaganza to the big screen.

Oscar nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix is coming out with an album. A music album. What!? It didn't work for Scarlett Johansson. It didn't work for Minnie Driver or Kevin Bacon or Billy Bob Thornton or well, can you think of anyone it has worked for?
Apparently, Phoenix got the calling after he learned to play the guitar for the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line.
