As the California governor's race proves, celebrities who decide to enter the political arena are not that uncommon. The only unusual aspect of the growing trend is that they are all Republicans.

Now, it seems another star is set to enter the elephant party. "Frasier" star Kelsey Grammer says he might also run for the US Senate. The 48-year-old Republican told Fox News that he wants to, "get to a place where I could do the most good for the greatest number of people." The extremely wealthy actor, who currently lives in California, added: "I haven't laid out any plans yet, but possibly senator."
One guy who better watch out if he does decide to run is "Bowling for Columbine" director Michael Moore. Although the war in Iraq has not turned out the way the Bush administration said it would, Grammer claims he refused to watch the Academy Awards because of the anti-war "crap" that celebrities like Moore had preached.
When asked if he heard Moore's anti-war acceptance speech and verbal attack on the Bush administration, Grammer said, "I didn't hear it because I didn't watch [the Academy Awards]. I wasn't interested. I knew that that kind of crap was going to be there and I thought, I am not interested." Hmm, let me guess, he'll be running on the "compassionate conservative" platform, right?
Justin/Cameron Romance Hits Snag
It looks like the
romance between Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz may have hit its first snag. Prey tell, is it
due to someone's wandering eye? Or does somebody have an overwhelming desire for
non-stop shopping? Nope. Word from the street is that Diaz is becoming more and
more concerned about her skin, and thus backing away from her new beau.
According to the Daily Star, Cameron becomes withdrawn when her skin problems flare up. Insiders know that this has been a major issue with the star and something she's tried to beat, but folks close to Justin say that he's become paranoid and thinks that her feelings towards him are cooling.
A pal told the tabloid, "Cameron doesn't realize she's pulling away from Justin but he's sensing her withdrawal and it's setting off alarm bells. What's worse is that he's been hurt before and he adores Cammie so much he's becoming slightly paranoid -- he wants to know what's wrong as he can't believe someone so beautiful could become depressed over a few spots."
Celebrity Bits and Pieces
Since our patience meter
is running out of time for the Bennifers, more and more folks say they care less
and less about their marriage status. In an effort to perhaps flush it all out
of our systems, gossip hounds are speculating that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have already gotten hitched in secret in
Georgia. Fueling the rumors of a nuptial affair, the dynamic duo were spotted
recently with Ben's younger brother Casey, sneaking into a probate office that sells marriage
licenses. An assistant working at the Liberty County Clerk's office in
Hinesville said she had been told to say that "no marriage licenses were issued
from this office today." But when asked if anyone had been married there, she
refused to comment. An insider told the Daily Express, "This kind of stunt would
not be Ben's style -- but it is totally Jennifer's."
Matchbox Twenty singer Rob Thomas has just revealed he has one odd family tree. In the October issue of Blender magazine, the rocker admits that his aunt Marcella was jailed for having her husband killed by Pee Wee Gaskins, a '70s serial killer type who raped, tortured and murdered female hitchhikers. Nice. But wait there's more... Thomas claims that she also managed to break out of jail and burned down her daughter's trailer. Keep on embracing your white trash roots, Rob!
