Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Don’t get too excited Britney – Kevin Federline is saving pennies, but not his own. Federline appeared in Times Square to unveil Virgin Mobile’s new “penny texting” plan, and to also launch a campaign to save the U.S. penny from extinction – by collecting them for charity.

K-Fed arrived in an armored truck that was covered with pennies, and stepped out wearing a Abraham Lincoln mask over his face, which he removed immediately. Kevin said a few words – gawker.com has his speech on video here – and sent the very first penny text message.

Organizers handed out slips of paper bearing the phone number 310-876-4210, and told us that it was “Kevin’s phone number”. During his speech, he told everyone to text him at that number. We couldn’t see our keyboards under the blazing sun, but we tried it later at home, and got no response. Calling the number gets a "mailbox is full" recording.

Please let us know if anyone does hear back from Kevin. Yo

According to the Hollywood Reporter, New Line Cinema is desperately trying to sign Matthew McConaughey to do not one but two films, one of which is Ghost of Girlfriends Past, to which Ben Affleck was originally attached. The other, The Grackle, is, despite its horrorific title, a twangy action-comedy along the lines of Roadhouse.

Even in his passing, the schism between Tori and Candy & Randy Spelling is evident by the separate statements they have both isued about the death of their father.

"I am grateful that I recently had the opportunity to reconcile with my father, and most grateful we had the chance to tell each other we loved one another before he passed away. It is a true blessing to have had a parent that loved me unconditionally and was always there for me. I am honored to be Aaron Spelling’s daughter. He had a heart that was as big as his talent and today along with many others I mourn his loss. He was a great man and even better father."  — Tori Spelling

"Our extreme sadness and grief is comforted by the overwhelming number of heartfelt calls we have received. We are truly grateful for the outpouring of love and sympathy expressed by so many friends and colleagues who knew Aaron. Our family is truly appreciative of everyone’s love and support." — Candy Spelling and Randy Spelling

I’ve been told that a planned memorial for Aaron is in the works by Candy & Randy, to be held at the TV Academy.

He’s on the verge of turning 40 and became a father for the first time when his wife, Jackie, gave birth to their daughter, Sadie, last month. But Adam Sandler assures fans he’s still a moron.

"I like being a moron," Sandler said. "My father called me a moron. My grandfather said I was a moron. A lot of times when I’m driving, I hear I’m a moron."

Sandler, who was a "Saturday Night Live" cast member in the early 1990s, stars in the new movie "Click" as a workaholic who ends up with a universal remote control that allows him to fast-forward and rewind to different parts of his life.

The actor said he can relate to the film’s message to spend more time with family and less time at work.

"Looking back at the past 10 years of my life, I’ve been at work more than I’ve been at home, so I connected with this movie," he told reporters recently, according to AP Radio. "And when I watched the playback the other day, I went home. I was excited to get home and do the right thing, be with the family."
