Please Let This Be A Rumor

Watch out New Jersey citizens, Page Six is spreading rumors about you.

The Post is reporting that Jon Bon Jovi could be planning to run for governor. Their evidence: He’s kept his home in Red Bank (even though he lives in SoHo!), he performs regularly for Democratic events (so unlike other musicians!) and his P.R. guy, Ken Sunshine, used to work for David Dinkins. Still not convinced? He’s been approached by about running for office. Case closed!

Was Bruce Springsteen unavailable for this item or something?

At least there's real longevity to JT's Jessica Biel fling

Have Justin Timberlake and publicist Ken Sunshine gone their separate high-profile ways? That's what we're hearing from the gossip mill, just a few weeks after Ken teamed up with Shawn Sachs and renamed his PR powerhouse Sunshine, Sachs and Associates. (We're still figuring out Associates' first name.) That this news "does not bode well" for the future of Sunshine/Sachs is, perhaps, how the competition might phrase things.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Will the tabloids, paparazzi, blogs, and media attention ever leave Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie alone? Um, no. At least, not until they're old, un-hot, and stop making babies together.

The celebrity phenomenon dubbed “Brangelina” has triggered a media fever surrounding Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie that some observers say has reached the point of insanity.

Insanity? We hardly find the game "guess if it's a boy or girl," the stealing of sonogram pictures, or frightened child photo capturing of their family insane. But, unfortunately, Ken Sunshine does. And, he thinks you're all crazy.

“There has always been a certain fascination with celebrity but with today’s proliferation of outlets that seem to be competing for the same photos and stories, it has reached a point that seems completely insane,” said PR consultant Ken Sunshine, whose clients include several celebrities.

Even Time magazine has acknowledged the deafening noise, carrying a darkly satirical cartoon last week that featured the Jolie pregnancy news and wedding rumors as new methods of torture for prisoners of war.

Oh, pardon us. We didn't realize Time thought it was insane … that totally changes everything.

Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson
