Star Jones’ ex-to-be vents on MySpace. It seems like everyone has had something to say Star and Al’s divorce – except Al – until now. Star’s soon-to-be ex-husband, Al Reynolds, has posted a nearly 500-word rant on two of the biggest social networking sites, defending himself against the way he has been portrayed in the media. Reynolds complains that he has “been called a gigolo, a freeloader, unemployed, a sham and many other things that don’t bear repeating.” And he says trying to defend himself against those allegations has become “a silly and futile exercise.” Jones recently filed for divorce from Reynolds, with none of the fanfare and hype that accompanied their marriage. For his part, Reynolds says the marriage didn’t work out and now, he’s involved in his business, education –and trying to have “a little fun.”

‘Thriller’ chosen to be preserved by Library of Congress. Oh snap!  Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album is being added to the Library of Congress’ list of recordings that will be preserved for archiving in the National Recording Registry. It’s part of the library’s effort to save the nation’s history of recordings that are considered “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Other recordings on the list for this year include Herbie Hancock’s 1973 album, “Headhunter,” as well as recordings by Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. There are 25 songs added to the registry each year.
