Well, sure. He's going to be losing a lot of tourism when her ass leaves town!

Chicago's Mayor, like so many housewives in America, is saddened to learn that his goldmine of a TV icon is hightailing it out of Chicago. Oprah Winfrey and the Windy city have become synonymous and with that, it has improved Chicago's image.

But with her exit from the show, Mayor Daley is looking to point fingers and he's found his target - the media.

He cites the uproar the city made when Oprah closed down a major intersection for the season premiere of her show.

Mayor Daley says:

"That became a big rhubarb in the Chicago press — beat up Oprah. So you keep kicking people, people will leave, simple as that…I'm just saying that when someone's doing something like that, most cities would love it. … It's just amazing. I don't know why it became so controversial."

We don't either, but we also don't think it has anything to do with why she is leaving. She's Oprah, man! She could buy and sell every paper in Chicago.

She doesn't sweat them!

Joel Madden posted the news on his website that his girl, Nicole Richie, is recovering after her recent visit to the hospital for pneumonia.

He wrote to his fans:

"So I stepped off the plane after a month out of the country, and basically Went straight to the hospital for the week. But don't worry all is well and We are home with no problems."

Glad to hear it!

This is completely out of control!

A claim was filed on Thursday stating that the people who installed Michael Jackson's TV and sound system in Neverland were not reimbursed for their services!

Considering the bills have gone unpaid since 2003, they should have thought about this earlier!!!

Video & Audio Center claim that they installed electronic audio and video equipment such as plasma TVs and speakers along with rewiring the entire house.

Supposedly, they won a judgement in 2007 for the $$$$, but Jackson only paid $25,000 on a $109,540.85 bill. VAC are now asking for the remaining balance plus interest totaling $128,482.77.

Yikes!

Where can we get one!

Mariah Carey rolled up to her fragrance Thursday night in London in one interesting ride! She had commissioned a Rolls-Royce Phantom with her seksi self plastered all over it.

Some people might consider that self-indulgent and vain. Then again, some people aren't Mariah Carey!

So sad.

Yes, that's really what Levi Johnston calls himself.

Levi, who believes himself to be a celebrity, somehow got invited to the GQ "Men of the Year" party in El Lay this week at the shiteous Chateau Marmont. And, to no one's surprise except maybe Levi, nobody cared he was there.

Dick "Ricky" was seen wandering around the party with more make-up caked on than Kim Kardashian, along with his manager Tank and some other macho dude.

Did he really think he needed security?

Since the Playgirl centerfold was being ignored by other guests like January Jones, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and Lindsay Lohan, the underage father sipped on his soda and checked his Blackberry for an hour, then disappeared.

Welcome to Hollywood! Enjoy those last few seconds while you can!
