As we move into the next phase, I would like to thank everyone that has worked tirelessly on the site. A few people need and deserve special recognition.

First off, thank you to CJ and Mike for being the greatest champions of the site and best people with whom to share a sanity break. And to Lisa, thanks so much for sticking with us and writing about your life in Hollywood.

Key Greene who, since starting here, has given everything she has. She has continuously brought you the best analysis of the latest celebrity news, through my nitpicking and many other demands.

Steve Brodersen and Henry Trappler: These men are the finest videographer and photographer, respectively, that I have ever met. Constant professionals, these two gentlemen not only get the best images and video, they are also wonderful to hang out with.

Larry Holzer: It’s difficult for me to thank him enough. He is one of the hardest working people I know, in any profession, and he has a heart of gold. Over the years, he let me tag along with him and those memories are some of my favorites.

E.L. Woody: My life will never be the same after knowing him. Through the good and bad, I have always been and will be grateful for the insight, candor, and camaraderie that he has given me. He has influenced everything from the music I like to the way I view the world. You don’t get many opportunities in life to meet a truly transformative figure and, I must say, that is what he is.

I ask everyone that has enjoyed and loved Celebrities.com over the years to continue to follow E.L. Woody and the rest of the guys at Poptv.com. There you will be able to watch interviews from Henry, photos and videos from Steve, and Larry’s always exciting videos from New York City.

It has been my great honor to bring you Celebrities.com for these past three years. I will truly miss servicing ya’ll.

“”This is almost worth getting Parkinson’s for!” Michael J. Fox declared as he took the stage to play guitar with The Who in New York City Wednesday night.

The actor – who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 – rocked out to the legendary band’s “Magic Bus,” trading licks and windmill guitar riffs with Pete Townshend.”

People

With Fox’s wife Tracey Pollan by his side, MJF has a lot to celebrate lately. Ryan Reynolds recently ran the New York Marathon raising $79,000 for Michael’s Parkinson foundation; and Ryan was front and center with his newlywed bride, Scarlett Johansson at the event. Also Michael is celebrating the election of Barack Obama into Presidential office:

“At the event, Fox spoke of his delight at the election of Barack Obama as president and hope he would be more forthcoming into looking into stem cell research to find a possible cure for Parkinson’s. He said: ‘I’m positive that one of the first things that Obama is going to do … is revisit the George W. Bush’s ban on stem cell research. I’m really excited.’”

Daily Mail

I really hope so MJF! Michael is probably best remembered for his role as Mary McFly in the “Back to the Future” series of films but was also a staple on the series “Family Ties,” in which he played a very lovable young republican named Alex P. Keaton (I can almost hear Alex making plans for a Palin campaign in 2012.) Regardless of their political leanings Fox’s characters have always been infused with the actors’ great sense of humor and I’m hopeful research will advance at a pace great enough to keep him around for many more generations to enjoy.

1. Charlie Sheen

– A funny man that I know is recently married but Charlie would be hilarious fun as a “Bachelor.”

2. Shannon Doherty

– Picture my favorite catty celebrity on a “Survivor” type show. This would be total awesome!

3. Jamie Lynn Spears

– Big sister Britney Spears’ life is calming down at a fast clip, but with a new baby in tow and a wedding in need of planning in the near future the daily life of the baby of the Spears clan would probably be fascinating right about now. I see Jamie Lynn in a family based reality show like the “Osbornes.”

4. Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen

– Some of you grew up with these two. It would be amusing to see them returned to television on a weekly basis in a more grown up setting. This power hitting duo would probably rock out in something like “Apprentice” but with them at the top of the food chain, not one of the peons.

5. Steve Guttenberg

– An intensely funny guy I’d just love to see more of. I’m pretty sure Steve would be awesome on any reality show.

6. John Mayer

– He has a blog already and apparently loves having the camera’s on him; he just needs to take the next step and move onto reality television. Mayer is totally ready for “The Real World.”

7. Jim Carey

– We need more intentionally funny people in reality shows. Maybe adding a few will make the shows seem fresh and new again. Maybe stick him in a “Big Brother” like setting with a mixture of other famous celebrities and not celebrities.

8. Amy Winehouse

– Might have been fun in the early days but at this point unless it’s part of her long road to rehabilitation I think I’ll pass.

9. Michael Jackson

– The man is odd/eccentric and reclusive. I think he’d be highly entertaining in a “Big Brother” type setting with Jim Carey.

10. Sarah Palin

– Hey, I’m sick of her – but some people find her fascinating and there’s even been actual talk of a reality show for this politician. My vote still goes to the “Osbourne” like family orientated show.

EVAN ROSS - I asked, the Greta star who has nine movies in the works, what he thinks about Barack Obama being elected. Evan said “I’m happy…” then strolled into the club with his girl.

Ok – actually it was Terri Seymour who broke it off with her long time beau, Simon Cowell. The pair had been dating since 2002 but Terri’s desire to start a family seems to be behind her ending the relationship with the “American Idol” judge. Just to keep the lines of friendship open though, Simon gave his former love a truly memorable parting gift:

“American Idol judge Simon Cowell gifted $9 million to Terri Seymour to keep their recent parting amicable - $5 million cash and $4.6 million to a buy a Beverly Hills home.”

Sawf News

Definitely better than dumping with a text message but I’m not sure if I can really give Cowell a thumb up on this one. Luckily Simon didn’t leave the issue in the dark for long and recently spoke up about his relationship’s ending and the importance of honesty:

“[Terri] wants a different path in life, and I totally respect her for it. We will be the best of mates, but I think in relationships, you have to be totally honest. I have always been and I know Terri knows that… Bottom line is I am married to my job… it’s the greatest job in the world.”

Fox News

That seems pretty reasonable and low key to me, Simon even managed not to sound condescending! I know the “American Idol” judge can come off to many as harsh but Cowell’s always seemed pretty nice when he’s off the set. So here’s hoping Simon finds that career minded single gal with no interest in matrimony or children that he’s looking for, and that Terri settles down with the family minded man of her dreams.

Photos of Courtenay and Tila as a couple

COURTENAY SEMEL - I asked Tila’s former girlfriend what happened between them. Courtenay: “What happened? Let’s see. I think she turned straight…I missed something.” I don’t think so. Tila is still into girls and made that perfectly clear by smooching with her new lady several times, just moments before. Courtenay is single now and available and I enquired as to what kind of girls she is looking for. It is a pretty long list and includes girls who are brunette, tall, model, skinny, have to dress cute and enjoy the same restaurants as her. She felt the need to insult her former flame, Tila, and said that she was once asked who is the biggest attention whore, Tila or Sarah Palin? She said she had answered Sarah and it is actually the other way around. Come on, Courtenay..I really don’t like that phrase “attention whore.” There is nothing wrong with famous people enjoying their success, cameras, video and publicity. Not only is there nothing wrong with it, but it is a wonderful thing. It is part of Hollywood and is better than boring celebrities and Tila is extremely popular and doing something right. She is fun and entertaining and a pleasure to film.

TILA TEQUILA - The sexy, hot Lesbian got a kick out of being caught in the middle of the protest. I asked her if she is going to get married and she said of course she is. I enquired to who? She said it will be to one of the girls near her. I asked for her opinion on Proposition 8. Tila: “I think it’s bullshit…we need a re-count. Equality for all!” I wanted to know if she voted for Obama. Tila replied that she loves him and waited for one hour to vote for him at 11 am. My video of the protesters and Tila’s arrival, was exclusive.
