The literary world lost the great Norman Mailer. Friends and family are faced with a quandary: Who will get his 15,000-piece Lego City? And how in the world will they get it out of his apartment in one piece?

With Thanksgiving come and gone, it's that time of year again. D-Listed brought us the perfect gift for germ-phobic or hypochondriac friends while the folks at Worth 1000 had a celebrity dolls contest that includes those Sex and the City sluts. Can you imagine? Buy the SATC boxed set, get the action figures free.

William Shatner is still bleating like an old sheep about not being cast in the new Star Trek movie. Uh, dude, I think it's because they hate you.

Amy Winehouse may be upset about having a white Christmas without her beloved Blakie but she's trying to be a good sport. Not to worry; Pete Doherty says he's looking out for her, and the time apart could do the couple good. If Pete's looking out for her that could only mean more pictures like this.

One-hit, one-marriage, one-friend wonder Jen "Big Hands" Aniston may have finally alienated the one person who still tolerates her, which isn't terribly surprising. It's just the part about her reaching out to Brad I'm having trouble with.

In a case of art imitating life, Britney's Blackout CD follows her in the downward spiral. It's not even in the top 20 anymore, folks. That's just sad. Gimme More is a catchy little tune.

Speaking of downward spirals, the Hogan family has nurtured theirs well. It's not like we didn't see this coming. Let's see ... Linda filed for divorce on the very day TMZ posted video of her extolling the virtues of street racing, the very act that got her 17-year-old son's license suspended and left his best buddy in a vegetative state. And everyone thought Brooke was bad.

So there you have it. And now you know why we boarded up Grandma's windows. It's better this way. She's good for a week or so now, and so are you. Catch up with you next week.
