The path of Gabrielle Giffords has taken her from Congresswoman… to inspiring gun shot victim… to author. The politician, who was released from the hospital last week, will team with husband Mark Kelly to pen a memoir that chronicles their lives since Giffords was shot in the head by a mad men in January. Kelly, who is retiring from the U.S. Navy and NASA, told The Associated Press of the book: “We decided it was the right thing to do to put our words and our voices on paper and tell our story from our point of view… Gabby and I are forever grateful for the heartfelt support we’ve received over these many months.” No release date has been scheduled for the memoir, which will be published by Scribner.
You know what they say: if your first televised wedding doesn’t go well, try, try again. TLC has announced plans to air a special dedicated to the nuptials of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo. It will include footage from their joint wedding shower, the latter’s search for a gown and, of course, end with the actual ceremony. Lachey allowed reality TV cameras into his life in a similar manner for his wedding to Jessica Simpson. That union ended in divorce after four years. A midget impersonated Nick Lachey at his fiancee’s bachelorette party . Why couldn’t that be televised?!? “We’re lucky to have such passionate and loving fans, and we though partnering with TLC on this special would be the best way to share the exciting journey we’re on with all the people that support us and our relationship,” the couple said, shockingly, in a joint statement. We had no clue the pair had any fans. Will you tune in for the nuptials?
First Tracy Morgan . Now Cee Lo Green?! Not exactly, but The Voice coach is under considerable fire after a Tweet he wrote to a music critic, Andrea Swensson, following his June 16 show. Swensson termed Cee Lo’s concert “lackluster” and “gross,” which the singer didn’t really appreciate. He struck back at her with this tweet: “I respect your criticism, but be fair! People enjoyed last night! I’m guessing you’re gay? And my masculinity offended you? Well f–k you!” Who? Me? Cee Lo? Homophobic? Yeah. Probably not the best word choice. The “F–k You” singer attempted an apology on Twitter … but it’s more of a long-winded explanation. He also seems confused as to what he’s even apologizing for: “Apologies gay community! What was homophobic about that? I was guessing he [was] gay which is fine but its nice to [know] what u think,” he wrote. He deleted it shortly after. Then he issued a longer comment : The “Crazy” crooner said he had no clue what gender the critic was and that he was just being “outspoken” at the time he tweeted. “She was very critical of me. At the time I didn’t even know what gender the person was,” he said. “I was being a little outspoken that night.” “I was being a little outrageous. I always expect people to assume that everything I do is part of my character and sense of humor. I assumed that whoever it was would assume that it was all in good fun.” “I most certainly am not harboring negative feelings toward the gay community. I don’t have an opinion on people with different religious, sexual or political preferences. I’m one of the most liberal artists I think you will ever meet, and pride myself on that.” “Two of the remaining members on my team on The Voice are proud and outspokenly gay. We just did a team performance of ‘Everyday People’ and I picked that song specifically to highlight how we can get along even though we’re so different.” For what it’s worth, Swensson responded to say she was not offended.

Just when you thought you’d seen everything. Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola from Jersey Shore celebrated their final few days in Italy with a night out at 21 club last weekend. However, rather than end their trip with one last blowout, the group left after a few hours and headed home, arriving back at their pad happy as clams. With another pay raise secured for season five, RonSam and their cohorts have a lot to smile about. But still, when’s the last time you saw pics like this?! Approximately five minutes after these jovial photos were taken, death threats were exchanged and the cops were called. Just kidding … well, probably . [Photos: WENN.com]
