On Tuesday night, Tara Reid was on “Shark After Dark”, which is the Discovery Channel’s post-episode “Shark Week” live show.  At one point during the show, Tara just started rambling on and on about sharks . . . and not really making any sense at all.  She was kind of mumbling, and it was a bit of a train wreck.

Jennifer Aniston was on “The Talk” yesterday, and she ripped into the tabloids for making up stories about her.  Specifically, about this wedding she was supposed to have, that supposedly got canceled.  (She said there was never a wedding planned, and everything in the tabloids is a deliberate lie.)

Q Country Closeup

TAYLOR SWIFT is never going to reveal who she’s singing about in all of those breakup songs.  She says, quote, “There are some of these secrets that may go completely unanswered and that’s fine with me.  Because the one thing I have at the end of the day is that I never reveal who each song is about.”

The lawsuit from the SUGARLAND concert tragedy two years ago will be going to trial next February.  There’s also a chance that JENNIFER NETTLES and KRISTIAN BUSH might have to do another deposition by the end of this year.

The Backside of the News

On Tuesday night, 43-year-old Rhonney Jacobs went SPEEDING through his neighborhood in Norfolk, Virginia.  A few of his neighbors were outside, and yelled at him to slow down because kids were playing.  So Rhonney did a U-turn, pulled over, and got out of his car . . . with his GUN.  And as he started STORMING over toward his neighbors to confront them, the gun went OFF . . . and Rhonney accidentally shot himself right in the GROIN.  He was taken to the hospital, where he’s recovering.  He’s facing charges of discharging and brandishing a firearm.

There’s a video on YouTube using clips of President Obama during one of his speeches, and edited so it sounds like he’s singing the tune to the “Imperial March” from “Star Wars.”  It’s called the “Uh-Imperial March,” because Obama says “uh” a lot in it.

Michael Phelps got caught by the paparazzi last night in Beverly Hills, and he came right out and admitted he PEES in the pool.  But he said everyone else does it too.

Someone stole JAMES GANDOLFINI’S $3,000 Rolex watch from his hotel room in Rome on the day he died last month.  It’s believed it was taken during all the commotion that was taking place when he had his fatal heart attack, but so far there aren’t any suspects.

Sources say BRUCE WILLIS wanted $4 million for four days’ work on “The Expendables 3”, but they were only willing to give him $3 million.
