Happy Independence Day blog fans!  July 4, is the day we set aside each year to commemorate when we won our independence from England way back in 1776, U-S-A!

But besides celebrating our freedom we can also celebrate the other things that make this country great, like celebrities.  What would our society be today with out Paris, LiLo, Brit Brit, Heidi and all the other reality whores, I mean uber talented stars? Shows like Gossip Girl and songs like Lollipop are woven into the fabric of this great nation. 

So tomorrow afternoon when you're snacking on a hot dog, popping open a PBR or watching the fireworks with a loved one, think about your favorite celeb...sure, "talent" may be a term to use loosely this day in age, but what the hell else would you do all day at work if you didn't have these fools to look at?!

INF spotted Joel Madden and his posse passing through LAX airport yesterday.  Suited up in his usual hat, shades and all-black attire, Joel made it through check-in and security.  Joel was also rocking a crimson ghost t-shirt, maybe one day if we're lucky we'll get a shot of Glen Danzig making his way through the airport and he'll be wearing a Good Charlotte t-shirt! (But probably not.)

       

Why are everyone and everything having to do with Gossip Girl absolutely adorable?  We spotted Taylor Momsen and Penn Badgley taking a break from shooting in Manhattan yesterday and Taylor had her arms full, juggling a cell phone, a drink and the cutest puppy in the entire world!  Judging from it's white, fluffiness, I'm going to guess it's a Maltese puppy who could totally give Penny (Blake's dog) a run for her money!*  Cute pets, cute boys and cute clothes, sigh, the life of a Gossip Girl is something to lust after.

_{*Actually, upon further inspection I decided that there could be a chance that is a stuffed animal and not a real puppy. It's so cute but I'm just not convinced either way,...what do you think?}

     

Yankees' third baseman Alex Rodriguez is enduring a total shit storm from the media this week.  First there's rumors of an affair with Madonna and then rumors pop up that his wife is jocking Lenny Kravitz!  Weird and weirder, so what does A-Rod have to say about it? Nuthin'!

LiLo celebrated the big 2-2 yesterday with her bestest (girl)friend Samantha Ronson.  The pair were spotted leaving La Scala restaurant together as well as making a stop at XIV Karat jewelery store.  Of course it wouldn't be a LiLo b-day with out a party, she gathered her friends at Teddy's inside the Roosevelt Hotel where she spent the night sipping away on Red Bull...supposedly Lindz and Sam even shared a kiss!  A sober, lesbian birthday, my have things changed for Lindsay Lohan.

      

Babies every where!  We spotted Shiloh, Zahara and Shiloh's baby doll leaving the Lenval Hospital in Nice, France yesterday after visiting their mom.  Angelina has booked four rooms at the hospital, enough for all her family and friends to enjoy a comfortable stay until the twins arrive.

  

We spotted Ashlee "time will tell if I'm preggers" Simpson and Pete "nerd glasses" Wentz out in about in Los Angeles yesterday.  Ashlee, dressed in a long orange dress the same shade as her hair, is finally starting to show and Pete pretty much looks the same.  This baby is totally going on play dates with Harlow Madden. 

     

It's Ashley Tisdale in a bikini!  The High School Musical star spent her 23rd birthday on the beach in Maui with her boyfriend Jared Murillo.  The two seemed to be enjoying themselves lounging on the sand and taking a spin on the water. 

        

We spotted Ashley Tisdale at the airport yesterday taking a little vacay to celebrate her 23rd birthday, which is today!  Earlier we spotted The Tiz drinking a very light coffee form Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (guess she likes her sugar and cream with side of coffee! ha!) and doing shopping.  Such a good combo, nothing like says leisure like sipping on an iced coffee and buying stuff for yourself.  Have a good one Tizzie!

    

Made ya look!  Firstly, the Great Wall is in China and secondly, David Hasseloff isn't scaling anything because that wall is like four feet high. We spotted the Hoff on vacation with his daughters Hayley and Taylor-Anne in London.  David treated the public to some "stunts" and took a picture with a fan in a Knight Rider t-shirt...I think it's quite possible that David still exists on that tv show in his head.
