The Buzz: Cameron Diaz dating, Mariah's new album out-ish, Charlton Heston RIP

*There's something about Cameron.
-It seems as though Cameron Diaz now knows the answer to the question that was on every girls mind after the release of last year's 300. Are those Gerard Butler's real abs? Published reports indicate that Butler and Diaz have been quietly dating and were recently seen sharing drinks at Shutters Hotel in Santa Monica.

*Mariah Carey is having a bad week.
-You'd think Mariah Carey would be on top of the world right now with a new album on the way...but insteady Mimi has been laced in controversy as of late. Carey performed on German Idol recently but both judges and fans of the show suspect she was lipsyncing. To add insult to injury Mariah's new album has been leaked on the Internet. Bummer.

*R.I.P. Charlton Heston
-Sadly Oscar winning actor Charlton Heston passed away this weekend. The man who once played Moses died at his home with his wife of more than 60 years at his side. He was 84 years old. In 2002 Heston announced he had Alzheimer's and disappeared from much of the public eye.

*Jamie Lynn celebrates her B-Day by going to Wal Mart.
-So I grew up in a small town. A big day always includes going to Wal Mart, which is why I would have NEVER expected someone like Jamie Lynn Spears to include a trip to the famed retailer on her birthday. I might even let that slide, had her dinner plans not included a stop at Ruby Tuesday. I'm not saying Ruby Tuesday is bad. I'm saying that it seems like an odd place for a celebrity, even a 17-year old knocked up girl from hick-town Louisiana, to celebrate her birthday. It does make me feel much better about my life though. I've celebrated many a birthday at Applebees.

*Leatherheads gets sacked
-Maybe it was a case of over-marketing. I certainly feel like I've already seen George Clooney's latest film and I haven't set foot in a theater recently. Whatever it was, audiences across the nation haven't been drawn to the film as expected. The football film lost out at the box office to 21 and tied for second with the childrens flick Nim's Island (yeah I haven't really heard of it either). While the official numbers aren't in yet, Leatherheads is projected to pull in $13.5 million from the box office this weekend. Could it be that ole George is losing his touch?
