Politically Incorrect: Barack Obama didn't appreciate Madonna calling him a Muslim during a concert last week.

It just again fuels those false rumors about [the president] being a Muslim in the minds of the right-wing people who also believe he was not born in Hawaii. There is so much that can happen during the next few weeks, and we still have the debates ahead of us. … In the end, this race will likely be very close.”

Weekly Chores
A new University of Canterbury study reveals that divorce rates are higher among couples, who share the housework than in those where the woman does the majority of the chores. Researcher Frank Furedi says, “The more you organize your relationship, the more you work out diaries and schedules, the more it becomes a business relationship than an intimate, loving spontaneous one. That tends to encourage a conflict of interest rather than finding harmonious resolutions. In a good relationship people simply don’t know who does what and don’t particularly care. Unless marriage is a relationship above anything else, then whenever there are tensions or contradictions things come to a head. You have less capacity to forgive and absorb the bad stuff.”
The National Enquirer claims Ashton Kutcher allegedly proposed to Mila Kunis. A source says, “Mila loves Ashton, but Ashton has some issues, and he needs to work toward cleaning them up before she can even think about marriage. This is no whirlwind romance for Ashton. He loves Mila and wants to marry her, but she’s begged him not to expect an immediate answer to his proposal.''
Kim Kardashian has become domesticated for Kanye West. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “She's been down for him, doing everything for him. Ironing his clothes, cooking for his fat a**, pampering the man down to the tea! She got Mercy and make him hold the damn cat and s**t like that ,and when they [are] not together, she takes pictures of herself with the cat and sends them to him. She's showing love for him, no doubt, and I know he [appreciates] that. I tell you man, Kim [is] showing a different side. Who knows, she could be wifey material – - [laughs] at some point.”
Liberty Ross and Rupert Sanders are in marriage counseling. A source says, "It was Rupert's suggestion that he go to marriage counseling with Liberty. He will do anything to save his marriage because he loves his wife and knows he screwed up. They have been married since 2003, and have two children together, they have a life together. They've been going to the therapist for weeks. Rupert and Liberty also see the marriage counselor individually. Time will tell if it works, but Rupert is hopeful it will save the relationship."
Robert Pattinson's friends don't want him to reconcile with Kristen Stewart. A source tells People magazine, “Rob’s friends don’t want to see him hurt again, but it’s easier said than done. They keep telling him he needs some time and space, but they all think they will be a couple again, maybe as soon as they are together for the Twilight promos.”
**UPDATE**
A source tells Perez Hilton, "Kristen and Rob's friends absolutely don't believe that this reconciliation is going to last. Rob believes that Kristen didn't sleep with Rupert, but the fact is, she still cheated on him. Rob's pals think it was easier for him to get back together with her right now because of the upcoming publicity blitz they are going to embark on to promote Breaking Dawn. Kristen definitely convinced Rob that this was going to be a bitter-sweet time for them, because this is the last Twilight movie. Kristen loves Rob, no question about it, but she just isn't as mature as he is. Rob's buddies would be stunned if the couple goes the distance."
Suri Cruise is finally making new friends at her school. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “In school, Katie is so nice and talks to the parents like everyone else. She’s making sure Suri is doing well and Suri has had a few play-dates with new friends from school.”

Miley Cyrus may play Bonnie in the History Channel's new Bonnie and Clyde mini-series.
A Miami judge has ruled that Sean Kingston owes his former landlord $77,000 for damages. He broke landscaping lights, sprinkler heads, punched holes in the wall, and broke a railing around a waterfront dock.
Madonna asked to perform with Lady GaGa. GaGa’s writer-and-producer Vincent Herbert says, “Madonna just called to ask GaGa to perform with her at Yankee Stadium. Her manager reached out to us and said Madonna would like GaGa to perform with her. She really wished she could do it. She said, ‘If we do it, let’s donate the money to charity.’ But Gaga’s committed to her own tour.”
Goyte is ok with being a one-hit wonder. He says, ''I would take a sort of perverse pleasure if a certain part of the public think of me as a one-hit-wonder. I'd be in some good company. If I go on to never make any music that is as commercially successful as this and that means that there's a divide between some people's perception of me in the pop sphere versus the actual music I've made, and people actually taking the time to listen to the rest of it, then I think that's actually kind of interesting
Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga are going to record a Jazz CD. Tony says, ''Of all things, she called me from New Zealand and said, 'I want to do a jazz album with you and I said, 'You got it!' So that's one of the things we're gonna do.''
Taylor Swift allegedly wants to marry Conor Kennedy. A source tells the National Enquirer, “Taylor has made up her mind that Conor is the man she was meant to marry. She doesn’t want to wait any longer. Taylor has told him he can put off college for now and become a full-time dad.”
Perez Hilton claims Swift hugged and kissed Joe Jonas at the iHeart Radio Music Fest.
Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill and model Martha Patterson got married on Saturday outside Nashville.
Chad Kroeger believes in Karma. He says, ''I would call myself more spiritual than religious. My beliefs are my beliefs. I believe in karma. There are so many different things that you like to pull from so many different religions. At the end of the day, the golden rule is called the golden rule for a reason - do unto others as you would have done to you. In terms of commandments you could probably just do that one and you would be well off. If everybody could adhere to that one, we'd be OK, as long as a masochist wasn't in charge of people. I think a lot of people do that, a lot of people talk about putting out good energy, and it's not just, 'Thou shalt not, and thou shalt'. It's far more in-depth and I think that can be too black and white when there's so much grey. It's OK to have faith in something that you can't see or touch.''
