people need their daily cup of joe. He's made it his mission to show
up to as many Tinseltown events as he's allowed into, to talk to any

daily shots of the day's breaking news. 
Monday Morning Brew: Stars evacuated in Malibu, "Prison Break" star splits from wife, and Kid Rock arrested at a waffle house...
Good morning. With fires raging in at least 10 different spots in Southern California, dozens of homes destroyed and hundreds of people evacuated including such Malibu residents as MEL GIBSON, OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN , JAMES CAMERON, TANYA TUCKER and VICTORIA PRINCIPAL and/or their families.
And so as fires keep burning out of control, some of what I'm about to write seems silly but I am going to do it anyway because some of these crazy celebs just don't stop their antics, no matter what is going on in the world.....
Take KID ROCK for example. He got arrested for a brawl he got into at a waffle house in Georgia. Real classy..."Prison Break" star DOMINIC PURCELL and his wife REBECCA WILLISMSON have separated. It's all "completely amicable" according to a statement they released. I hope so since they have four children ..... As the wildly innaccurate In Touch magazine has BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE breaking up - yet again (try a new storyline, pu-leeze), The Hollywood Reporter reveals that these life partners are now producing partners who have a series project on tap with HBO.....
....This is some big casting news: It seems that RYAN GOSLING gained a lot of weight and grew a beard for nothing now that he has left the new PETER JACKSON film "The Lovely Bones" after just one day before the start of filming. Hmmmm. Wonder what happened there? So far, we only know there were "creative differences." But the film is not being left in a lurch. MARK WAHLBERG has already been tapped to replace Gosling ..... and finally, JAKE GYLLENHAAL and REESE WITHERSPOON have been photographed TOGETHER!!! Oh, sorry to tease ya. The actors - who I don't think it was ever proven were ever an item - were at the Rome Film Festival over the weekend promoting their thriller "Rendition." I saw this flick over the weekend and they don't have a single scene together so there's no way to read any possible chemistry the way we could between Brad and Angelina in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." The movie was only OK but the actors, who also include Oscar winners MERYL STREEP and ALAN ARKIN, are first-rate.
There will be more updates throughout the day!
