DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - WED., JAN. 31

*Us Weekly Magazine is reporting that the producers of American Idol want to replace Paula Abdul with Courtney Love. Paula was out of control on last night's show! She couldn't stay still, wouldn't sit in her chair and was on her knees at one point. It is pretty obvious to me that she's medicated. However, I think Courtney Love is a bad choice. Sure, she's behaving herself now but it's just a matter of time (in my opinion) until she goes back to her bad habits.

*Would you invite your ex to your wedding? Elizabeth Hurley left her ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant off her wedding guest list. She's marrying businessman Arun Nayar in March and will have ceremonies in Britain and India. Liz and Hugh were together for 13 years and he is her son's godfather so I'm shocked that he got snubbed!

*Sting and the guys of the Police will reunite and perform at the Grammys February 11 on CBS

*Singer Brandy is being sued for $50 million! The parents of the woman killed in a car accident in December involving Brandy filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against her. More bad news for Brandy--she could do jail time if the L.A. City Attorney decides to charge her with vehicular manslaughter.

*The CW Network cancelled Reba McEntire's sitcom Reba. The final show will air on February 18

*Beyonce was named the most desirable woman of 2007 by the website askmen.com. According to Beyonce, what's her best feature? Her hands. (Not the booty?)

*Nick Lachey is denying reports that he and girlfriend Vanessa Manillo are planning to get married in April

*Isaiah Washington is scheduled to return to the Grey's Anatomy set as early as Thursday for the first time since entering counseling after making a homophobic slur when referring to his co-star T.R. Knight. There are rumors that T.R. is quitting the show, but a Grey's spokesperson said they are not true (Good, I love T.R.'s character, George)
