I'll go first.

Dear Donnie,

What happened to you? I used to love you when you were in NKOTB. I even had the sleeping bag with you on it. And the pillow case. And the lunch box. And the pencil case. And all of your tapes.

This is the thanks I get? My heart is bleeding.

Very truly yours,

"Rachel's Cherry Pie Making Outfit"

Why is the Food Network's Rachel Ray dressed like Paris Hilton?

[Conversations About Famous People]

And this time she's begging.

Paris Hilton is trying to prove that she's the bigger woman in the battle of Paris vs. Nicole. She's written an apology letter to her former friend and "Simple Life" co-star, Nicole Richie, in hopes that they may move on and be chummy again. Back in April, Paris admitted to the strain in her friendship with Richie. "It's no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends. Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it," Paris said in a statement. Many wondered what is was Nicole had done to the hotel heiress, narrowing the start of the feud down to two options: either 1) Nicole had a Paris Hilton sex tape screening party; or 2) Nicole had trouble keeping Paris's secrets out of the press. No matter the initial cause of the fight, Hilton is ready to forgive and forget. According to a source for gossip website, Female First, "Paris just wanted to call things a day after friends stepped in and told her she was being petty." While Paris's motive for a reconciliation is most likely innocent, it is a little suspicious that she's seeking to renew her friendship with Nicole just as their reality show is about to be permanently shelved. Hmmmm...

Apparently, Katie Holmes is rehearsing the role of stay-at-home mom. The actress, who recently revealed she is carrying fiance Tom Cruise's baby, has pulled out of the Dennis Quaid drama Shame On You in order to focus on her pregnancy.

I wonder if they renegotiated her contract to reflect the death of her career.

Some 100 runners wearing nothing but their skivvies turned out Thursday for the Underpants Run, a fun run that has become an annual event in the days leading up to Saturday's Ironman World Championship.

"It's pretty much 'the' event now," joked founder and former professional triathlete Paul Huddle. "People fly in Wednesday night just for this."

Not all triathletes would agree. More than 1,800 competitors from 80 countries are in Kona for the grueling Ironman, a 2.4-mile ocean swim, 112-mile bike leg through the lava fields and a full 26.2-mile marathon run.

"It was a reaction to the abhorrent and unbelievable practice of wearing Speedos around town, in the post office, the grocery store, even restaurants," Huddle said. "It's just a clash of the cultures, between the more conservative Americans and the whole European and Mediterranean resort vacation thing."

So, Speedos are bad, but underwear are acceptable. I wonder what the policy is about thongs. On men.

Thank you SO MUCH to the sexy Christine for sending me this brilliant, wonderful article that you found on [Optonline].

According to [Page Six],

The starlet wants her per-episode rate to hit six figures. "Mischa's the biggest star on the show, and she feels her salary should reflect that," a source told Inside TV. Besides a lofty $30,000 monthly mortgage payment for her $7 million house, the blonde now dates musician Cisco Adler instead of billion-heir Brandon Davis. "Mischa winds up paying for a lot of their dates," the source added.

What...did she put no money down on that house?
