All in a day's Cirque

Cirque du Soleil’s latest production, “KOOZA,” comes to Boston for a month-long run. Metro caught up with general manager Scott Wallace, 42, a Boston native, who worked for the Boston Ballet before joining the Cirque almost 10 years ago

Weighing in on what’s real talent

GOSSIP. “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria would like to set the record straight about something, you nosy, nosy entertainment reporters: She is not in a family way. She is not comparing paint samples for a nursery. She is not with child. Actually, we’ll let Longoria tell you, since she puts it best: “I’m not pregnant. I’m just fat.”

The evolution of Turtle

“I need comfort food." says Jerry Ferrara hours before the New York premiere of “Entourage” Season 5. “I’m excited, but I’m very nervous, also, ’cause all my family and all my really good friends are going to be there. I want to make sure everyone has a really good time.”

Hudson

The Word

GOSSIP. Has Lance Armstrong given up riding his bike for riding Kate Hudson? That’s the question of the week, and Ryan Seacrest was the man to ask it (with much more decorum, of course). On Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show yesterday, Hudson called in to talk about her new eco-friendly hair product line. When Seacrest asked about the Armstrong rumors surrounding her, she stopped the host in his tracks and said, “I don’t discuss my personal life.”

Um, doesn’t she understand that selling organic hair mousse, or whatever the hell she is shilling, is directly correlated to who she is having sex with? Must we have to spell everything out for these people?
