Suing The Jets: The Jets and Brett Favre were hit with a sexual-harassment lawsuit yesterday by two women who claim they were fired after one of them complained about sleazy text messages from former quarterback Favre. Christina Scavo - whose husband blew the whistle on Favre - Shannon O'Toole and a third unidentified massage therapist are seeking unspecified money damages.
Gaga promotion: Lady Gaga tweeted a photo of her bare bum to the masses at 12:01 a.m. on New Year's Day. Along with the pic of her nakedness, she posted "THE SONG 2 13 11 THE RECORD 5 23 11," which suggest release dates. What we want to know... why did it take three days for this to become celebrity and music discussion fodder?
Kanye, Jay-Z new album: Speaking of dates, Kanye West announced "Watch the Throne," the album he's jointing producing with Jay-Z, will be coming out in one week. He said this after performing with Jay-Z at the grand opening of the Marquee nightclub in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve.
'Bachelor' returns: Three years ago, Brad Womack turned down both of his final two pics and ended "The Bachelor" without a bride. He returned last night for a do-over of sorts. It's his second chance to find love. Plenty of spoilers are out there - mostly thanks to reality TV blogger Reality Steve. Nonetheless, the most interesting contestant ("possible bride") on the show is Emily Maynard, who was previously engaged to Ricky Hendrick, the NASCAR driver who died in a plane accident in 2004.
'Craigslist Killer': People are talking about Lifetime's TV movie "The Craigslist Killer." Actually, many are are panning it. The New York Daily News claims the movie uses "trite tabloid-to-TV tactics, lacks three-dimensional characters." We say: What do you expect? It's Lifetime. We just don't get how the killer's fiance Megan McAllister, played by Agnes Bruckner, didn't know. Oh ... and we're glad to finally see Billy Baldwin do something fun.
Kunis, Culkin spilt: Favorite headline on this topic: "Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin break up. Who knew they were together?" Apparently, the couple had been dating for eight years. The met at the Golden Globes while she was in "That '70s Show." Word is they hit a rough patch because of her success - thank you "Black Swan" - and the fact that she is based in LA while he is based in New York. (Sometimes distance doesn't make the heart grow fonder.) Her first post-breakup appearance will be at the People's Choice Awards on Wednesday.
Ebert's new co-host: Roger Ebert has named a new co-host. Russian-born Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, 24, will join co-host Christy Lemire on Jan. 21 when "Ebert Presents at the Movies" premieres on public TV stations.
McCartney's veggie-day plea: Paul McCartney sent a letter to the prime minister of India, asking the country to declare a national Vegetarian Day. Seems like this could be a possible win for McCartney and PETA. About 42 percent of the country's population is already vegetarian.
Bieber's cover: Great. We finally subscribe to Vanity Fair at the urging of a few friends who say the writing - including the celebrity interviews - is engaging and sophisticated. And the first issue we are to receive has Justin Bieber on the cover. Apparently, he has trouble falling asleep at night because that's when he thinks about important things "like family and God." Eish. We want our $$ back.
OWN-ing cable: Oprah's new network, OWN, didn't do too bad on its opening weekend. During the three-hour block beginning at 8 p.m. EST on Saturday, OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network averaged 1 million viewers and ranked third among all ad-supported cable networks in the 25-to-54-year-old audience demographics.
