> More details are emerging about the work Rufus Wainwright is composing for the Metropolitan Opera. Though there we don't yet know where or when the work will be performed, the singer did tell Variety that the opera will be centered around "the construct of the diva, from Maria Callas to Norma Desmond and the (Jean-Jacques Beineix) movie Diva from the '80s" before adding "and God darn it, there's a bit of me in that too." We can't wait! After seeing Rufus burn down Radio City Music Hall singing the Judy Garland songbook, we know he's always just the man for any diva-themed undertaking.
> Poor Kathy Griffin. The comic told reporters at last week's GLAAD Awards that she and billionaire Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak have split up."He is an awesome guy, but I have to say he is in the friends category now," she confessed. However, Kathy doesn't appear to be too distraught, telling reporters that Wozniak will appear on the next season of her hit reality show My Life on the D List: "He is really cute and funny on it... He's totally a life-long friend." Somehow we feel kinda guilty about this one -- seems perhaps the curse of "always the fag hag, never the girlfriend" may just follow Kathy to her grave. But at the very least, it's led her to the bank.
> Scarlett Johansson wants you to know that just because she uses her saucy good looks to sell products, that doesn't make her a hooch. She tells Spin magazine: "I have platinum blonde hair, and I'm extremely curvy: I pour myself into a dress and show up and strut my stuff at premieres. Of course I expect people will have certain ideas, but it's weird if people associate the fact that I sell handbags or wear a bikini with who I am when I wake up in the morning."
