Carmen Electra was once married to Dennis Rodman, so she must know something about rebounding. Barely a week after announcing her separation from husband number-two, rocker Dave Navarro, the former Baywatch babe was spotted at a Hollywood nightspot on the arm of Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx. A spy tells the New York Post the two "seemed like they were on a date."

In a move echoing Hachette Filipacchi's close of ElleGirl magazine earlier this year, Time Inc. has announced the close of Teen People magazine, effective with the September 2006 issue. But, like ElleGirl, TeenPeople will live on as a website...that I will never visit.

One of two men who admitted secretly videotaping Michael Jackson as he flew to Santa Barbara to surrender in his child-molestation case was sentenced to eight months in prison. Prosecutors said Arvel Jett Reeves, owner of Executive Aviation, an air maintenance service, must then spend six months at a halfway house that offers drug and alcohol rehab.

During the taping, 31-year-old Dessarae Bradford suddenly walked out of the audience and handed the actor what police said may have been some papers or books. The show was stopped and the woman was escorted off NBC's premises and told she'd be arrested if she came back. The actor's publicist denied that Farrell had ever met or spoken to her before, but notes that Bradford has repeatedly tried to sue him. The publicist won't say why, only that the suits are bogus.

Ailes, appearing at the summer meeting of the Television Critics Association, said Olbermann takes shots at Fox's O'Reilly because it boosts his ratings. "Clearly he has no viewers except those he gets when he attacks Fox News, and particularly has made himself committed to continuing to attack Bill," Ailes said. Olbermann opened his Saturday session at the critics' meeting by whipping out a mask of O'Reilly and giving a Nazi salute.
