As David Cook gets set to battle David Archuleta and Syesha Mercado on American Idol this week, he practiced by getting in the ring with equally tough competition:

Bulls.

Well, sort of.

The talented singer is actually shown below in a shot from a recent commercial he shot with fellow Idol finalists. Still, Cook looks comfortable in the outfit, doesn’t he? It should be nice to know he has a back-up career if this singing thing doesn’t work out.

Ole!

We know, not exactly breaking news here. But a new book from a former manager alleges that a groggy O.J. Simpson, high on marijuana, confessed to double murder.

Mike Gilbert, a memorabilia dealer, also claims that he helped his former friend wiggle out of the murder charges by suggesting how to bloat his hands so they wouldn’t fit the notorious bloody gloves.

Gilbert’s book, How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse, is due in stores Monday.

He said Simpson smoked pot and taken a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when he confided at his home in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood weeks after his trial what happened that infamous night of June 12, 1994.

Murderer

As he tells it, O.J. Simpson said he went to his ex-wife’s condominium but did not bring a knife with him. Simpson told him that his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, had one in her hand when she opened the door.

In a soft mumble, Simpson told him: “If she hadn’t opened that door with a knife in her hand … she’d still be alive.”

Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death at the entrance to her condominium. The knife was never found.

Audrina Patridge of The Hills, is set to make her film debut in Into the Blue 2, a sequel to a 2005 movie no one saw but apparently starred Jessica Alba. Who knew?!

The sequel, which won’t star Alba, is about a married couple (Chris Carmack of The OC quasi-fame and Laura Vandervoort of Smallville) who are hired as professional divers to search for Christoper Columbus’ hidden treasure.

That’s until they learn about their employer’s hidden agenda. Oooooooh.

In the film, Audrina Patridge will play “a no-nonsense, beautiful beach babe” with a boyfriend who “caters to her every command,” the Hollywood Reporter says.

That should be a nice contrast to real life, in which she plays a beautiful beach babe with a boyfriend who smells bad and never caters to her needs at all.

Yes, we’re talking to you, Justin-Bobby.

We look forward to Audrina’s movie debut. She’s probably got like one line, but at least we know she’ll be wearing little clothing while delivering it. Sweet.

We don’t blame the little girl. It is a pretty painful spectator sport to watch in America - even if it’s the amazing David Beckham doing the soccer playing.

Amid speculation that their family add a new baby, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and baby Suri joined David’s son Brooklyn to watch the L.A. Galaxy Saturday.

While Katie and her 45-year-old haircut look bored to death, Suri Cruise recoils in terror at the (lack of) action on the field as Tom tries to shelter his little girl …

It was a big weekend for celebrities attending sporting events.

Earlier today, we posted a picture of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens kissing at an NBA playoff game.

Now, here’s a look at Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey at a Los Angeles Dodgers came over the weekend. We’re not sure if the home team won or not, but we are sure of this:

Both sides of this relationship won as soon as they hooked up with the other. What a pair of hotties!

“Obviously we’re entertainers. We are trying to entertain in every aspect of our lives.” - Heidi Montag The celebrity news world is simultaneously bursting and flat. The unbalance of Britney Spears, the growing pains of Miley Cyrus and the druggy tailspin of Amy Winehouse - to name a few favorite plots - add up over the hours to grand narratives and debates about femininity, drug use, mental health, sexuality, motherhood, legal proceedings, parenting and violence. But the celebrity gossip world is flat in that every story seems just as important as every other - and this is a monster that needs feeding. That’s what celeb news fame is now: Weekly, and sometimes hourly, we must have stories; the lives of the chosen people must appear to move forward. The Branding of Spencer and Heidi Into the breach between supply and demand have stepped Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, the villainous couple from MTV’s docu-soap The Hills. While Heidi Montag may not be the most famous, she’s definitely fame-ish.

Paris Hilton recently posed for GQ Russia.

In a development almost as shocking as Hugh Hefner wanting to see Miley Cyrus naked in Playboy, Hilton didn’t wear a shirt for the photo shoot.

Whatever, it just can’t be right. It has become my obsession. I realize Sean Penn is rich, but really, Petra Nemcova seems out of his league. What has he even done lately? I am Sam? Well, I am pissed. Seeing that pregnancy is the Hollywood trend, this relationship is becoming dangerous. If she ends up pregnant, I may kill myself.

Lets really examine this.

I guess those accusations of “drugging” Britney were kind of a where there’s smoke there’s fire, and it looks like law enforcement feels the same.

Uh oh.  As if being dead weren’t bad enough, now law enforcement wants to know if the vicodin’s were his by prescription of if he pulled them from grandpa’s medicine cabinet after his hip replacement surgery.

NY Daily News  says, The doctors - one in California, one in Texas - are believed to have supplied the “Brokeback Mountain” star with the powerful painkillers Oxycontin and Vicodin, law enforcement sources said. Authorities want to know if the drugs were prescribed illegally. “It’s an ongoing investigation,” a law enforcement source told The News Tuesday. “It’s not clear if there was any wrongdoing.” 

Well, something tells me homeboy probably didn’t have that kind of prescription. But really, what will they do? Find the person they were originally prescribed to? They will just say he took them.

Not that I would know how all this would go down. I mean, I only use Advil and that’s only when things are really bad.

There may be a thaw in the contentious relationship between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, suggests K-Fed’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan.

Spears, who last week was awarded more time with her sons with Federline (Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1), was the hot topic of discussion for Mark Vincent Kaplan, on Monday morning’s Today show.

Mark Vincent Kaplan, left, has hopes for improved relations between former spouses Britney Spears and Kevin Federline (seen here in a classic 2004 file photo).

The attorney said that the judge’s decision at last week’s ruling reflected a significant “improvement” in Britney Spears‘ mental health.

She spent two full days, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., on both Thursday, May 8 and yesterday, May 11 (Mother’s Day) with her l’il sons.

We always knew Ryan Seacrest was less than sane. How else to defend his suppose love of Paula Abdul?

Now, based on his recent reaction to the forthcoming hip-hop album from Lindsay Lohan, it’s apparent Seacrest is even nuttier than the aforementioned American Idol judge.

“I’ve heard some of it, I like what I’ve heard so far,” Seacrest told People backstage at KIIS-FM’s annual Wango Tango concert in Irvine, Calif., on Saturday, where Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers performed.

Lohan, Lindsay

Lindsay Lohan is coming out with a hip-hop album. God help us.

Seacrest added that the Firecrotch Queen is “taking it very seriously. She’s working really hard. She’s working with great producers.”

For some reason, Ryan failed to add the punchline to that statement, so we’ll do it for him: “In bed!”
