High School Musical BFFs Ashely Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens battled the rainy day we had in El Lay on Wednesday to get some coffee.

What happened to covering your face, Vadge??? It’s the next best thing to not seeing you at all!

At least Ashley looks cute.

Love the hat ‘bb!

One Life To Live ended 2009 with a bang! Literally!

On Wednesday, the soap aired the first gay male sex scene shown on screen in daytime ever!

Watch the steamy love scene between on-screen couple of Kyle (Brett Claywell) and Fish (Scott Evans) in the clip above!

Ha! Talk about falling VERY FAR from grace!

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo flew in style this holiday season when the couple took a flight from Cincinnati to New York… in coach.

Embarrassed as all hell to be the only celebs who don’t fly first class, the couple sat together quietly, paid for their cocktails, and “were very low-key,” noticed a source.

Yeah, because they were hoping no one would recognize them! How sad to realize your Hollywood career hasn’t even warranted you the privilege to fly in first class.

But more surprising is the fact that these two are still together.

It was announced yesterday that Peter Jackson, acclaimed director of The Lord Of The Rings, will be receiving the honor of knighthood in the new year.

Peter called the news an “incredible moment” and explained, “I didn’t think anything would surpass the 2004 Academy Awards, but I was wrong.”

Congrats Peter!

Who were the big winners of 2009 in the music industry and who failed miserably???

Among the top tier of ‘09, we’ve got all the usual suspects - Lady GaGa (selling 2.3 million), Taylor Swift (5.3 mil, including record sales of 2008) and SuBo, who can’t be torn down from her #1 spot on the charts, selling 2.9 million records!

But for every big album released, there’s a bomb right below it!

Britney’s greatest hits collection only managed to sell a measly 90,000 copies, but Mariah’s numbers are even more embarassing!

Mimi only sold 375,000 copies of Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel in ‘09, even though her 2008 release, E=MC2, sold 463,000 copies in its first week.

Yikes.

Limbaugh was taken to the hospital in serious condition on Wednesday, but according to a statement issued by his radio show he is now “resting comfortably” in the hospital and due back on his show January 4th.

Oh, goody.

Get well soon, sweetheart!

If you saw any concept art from Warner Brother’s ThunderCats, don’t get too excited!

Sources over at WB have revealed the film, based on the 1980s animated TV series, has been scrapped!

Hmm, wonder why???

Oh well, one crappy adaptation down, so many more to go.
