We’re off to see old friends on the political trail in Denver for the Democratic Convention and eager to see if the mile high drama gives Sen. Obama a boost in the polls, narrowing recently between him and Sen. John McCain.

Keep an eye on ET and The Insider, for our behind the scenes reports, and when we can blog, we will.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., June 25— She wore a white linen pantsuit to divorce court Wednesday in these toney Republican surburbs outside Atlanta, sitting as far away from her soon to be ex-husband as possible, a former career Penthouse centerfold-turned porn star known as the notorious “Mansion Madam.”

Earlier this year, Lisa Taylor, aka Melissa Wolf, drew seven years probation and a $150,000 fine after pleading guilty to prostitution and running, well, a brothel in the ‘burbs, joining a list of commercial sex queens garnering an orgy of headlines in America’s season of scandal.

Still blond and feisty at 43, Taylor helped her lawyer carry boxes of financial records to the third floor of Gwinnett County Superior Court Wednesday, testing the patience of no-nonesense Judge Richard T. Winegarden with the petty wrangling of a couple long out of love. Read the rest of this entry »

The attorney for James Brown II says a DNA test confirms James Brown fathered the son of a woman who claims to be the singer’s widow. The attorney says that the 6-year-old boy was tested in April, before the paternity test was ordered by a judge. “If that was James Brown’s bone we tested, that’s James Brown’s kid,” says Robert Archer, PhD, director of Genetic Identity labs of Eugene, OR.

Obama-Hillary, Rev. Wright’s controversy, the flailing economy and Iraq all took a backseat to what appeared to be a Paula Abdul meltdown on America Idol Tuesday night, the country’s most popular television show, and sent Hollywood reporters scrambling to crack the mystery of the superstar singer’s mis-speaks judging contestants.
