Monica and Rachel are finally gonna kiss.
Of course “Friends” is canceled, so this will be on Courtney Cox’s new FX show, “Dirt.”
Jennifer Aniston is guest-starring as Cox’s ultimate nemesis from a rival tabloid, says The New York Post. Aniston’s character is a lesbian who apparently seduces the Cox character.
If only Joey were around to see this.

Pink’s doggie dies
Poor Pink: The, umm, singer’s pet pit bull drowned in her swimming pool last week, says Britian’s Sun newspaper.
Pink, a devoted animal lover and PETA member, went out for an hour only to find Elvis, a gift from her friend Lisa Marie Presley, floating in the pool at her LA home.
She “desperately tried to revive” the dog, the newspaper says, without success.
 I sincerely hope the image of Pink giving mouth-to-mouth to her waterlogged pup is as humorous to you, dear reader, as it was to me.

Enemy No. 1: Mr. Kentucky
Speaking of prominent PETA people, Hollywood Rag says Pamela Anderson is upset about plans to put Colonel Sanders on a stamp.
The actress apparently wrote an angry letter to the U.S. Postmaster General blasting the idea of recognizing the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
“Honoring a man whose legacy involves breaking animals’ bones
and scalding animals to death in defeathering tanks is contrary to the values of most compassionate citizens, and I hope that you’ll deny KFC’s request,” she wrote. “How about another Elvis stamp instead?”

Beyonce’s dad blasts Globes
Since we’re on a run of anti-PC items today, how’s this: Beyonce’s dad is crying about the fact that his daughter wasn’t nominated for a Golden Globe, says Idontlikeyouinthatway.com.
In a speech that sounded suspiciously like race-baiting, Knowles said “the good old boy system” did in his daughter again.
“Today is Martin Luther King’s birthday and it saddens me to say that things have not changed for blacks. Working class blacks and blacks in Hollywood are still being discriminated against. We still have a long way to go,” he said.
Riiiiight. As the site notes, Forest Whitaker, Eddie Murphy and Prince won Golden Globes this year.
So did Beyonce’s film, “Dreamgirls” and her costar, Jennifer Hudson, by the way.

Line of the week
“Bengals cornerback Johnathan Joseph became the ninth Cincinnati player arrested in the last nine months when he was charged with possession of marijuana early Monday. Come on, a measly misdemeanor? That’s not going to get Joseph much street cred in the Bengals locker room.”

The most random thing ever
A llama and a camel were successfully crossbred in 1998 by a British scientist in Dubai, says The Guardian. The resulting creature, a “cama” was named Rama.

Rave
When I heard someone here was going to try to mimic the greatness of Charlottesville’s Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar I got worried: Was it just going to be a pitifully pale imitation?
I’m happy to say the new Earth & Tea Café is pretty awesome. My sandwich was great, my pot of Earl Grey De La Crème was fantastic and my bill was pleasantly small. The atmosphere’s quite nice too, even without the hookahs.
E&T is, without doubt, the best new restaurant in town.

Rant
So Massanutten is finally open, which is a good thing. But the resort really needs to drop the price of its lift tickets.
They’re charging $61 for an adult lift ticket on the weekend.
To give you some idea how that stacks up, the same ticket at Killington, in Vermont, is $72. A weekend lift ticket at Snowshoe, in West Virginia, is $43.
