Pop On The Pop is much, much more fun than any of those big-boy celeb gossip sites, and here’s one reason why: Joy A (pictured here showing off her lovely eyelids). We ask Joy A our patented 20 Questions to find out what makes her “pop.” The answer? Jake Gyllenhaal, being mistaken for Brandy and a unicorn named Magical. Natch.
1. What newspapers do you read?
I don’t actually read any newspapers right now, because I’m real busy. But I do glance! Haha. I take a good glance at The LA Times, sometimes USA Today. I also visit news sites.
2. Which ones do you move your lips to while reading?
I think I read too fast for moving my lips simultaneously.
3. Which Web sites are on your favorites bookmark?
As far as celeb gossip goes, I’m a sucker for People’s website and TMZ. But some of my fave bloggers are Evil Beet and Seriously? OMG! WTF?.
4. Where do you get your car washed?
Under the clouds, when it rains. Or I’ll grab a hose and spray it down. I’m high maintenance.
5. Do you know your dentist’s first name?
Oh no! Is that bad?
6. Do you believe newspapers are going to die? If so, when?
There’s a lot of media convergence going on right now, but I don’t think hard copy newspapers or magazines will ever die. There’s just something about turning a page that’s kind of fun, or ripping out a pic from a mag and taping it to your wall. Staring at a computer screen just isn’t the same.
7. What was the last book you read?
Right now I’m dipping into Democracy Matters by Cornel West. He’s a genius.
8. What’s the last book you say you read?
Cherry by Mary Karr.
9. If you got a unicorn what would you name it?
Magical.
10. What does your TiVo think about you?
Getting TiVo has been on my ‘to do’ list forever! But I don’t watch that much TV. I listen to it while I’m doing more important things. Then I’ll go look at the screen when it sounds like something good just happened and I’m like, dammit! My TiVo would think I should put its service to use by watching more TV.
11. Character of fiction you most resemble?
Susan from Desperate Housewives, ’cause we’re both a bit loopy when it comes to the opposite sex. A bit of Karen from Will and Grace. And Anne Hathaway’s character in The Devil Wears Prada. We’re both driven, and sometimes we just don’t know what we’re getting into first, but we’ll go for it.
12. Who plays you in your bio-pic?
Brandy. I was in a hotel in Florida one day and I went to the bathroom in the lobby. Next thing I heard was a male’s voice asking, “Brandy! Can I get your autograph?” I yelled, ‘I’m not Brandy!’ I was shaken up. He followed me into the bathroom - fans! Brandy and I don’t look alike, but being followed tips the scale a bit. I like to think I look like Gabrielle Union.
13. Do you floss?
Sometimes.
14. Did you ever believe your toys come alive when you leave the room? Do you still?
Nah. Sounds fun though.
15. How many old cell phones do you own?
I’ll say ’seven!’ That number’s always interesting, or lucky. Or something like that.
16. Best show legendary biz/movie star encounter.
I refer to this one all the time. But I met Jake Gyllenhaal backstage at a Maroon 5 concert. I think he was filming Jarhead. All I know is, his muscles were bulging from underneath his tee, and his eyes were so incredibly beautiful! Plus, he’s unbelievably kind and down to earth.
17. Do you get satellite radio?
I really miss Howard Stern! No, not yet.
18. And as a follow do you “get” satellite radio?
There’s obviously a market for it. And, for me, satellite radio sometimes feels like a necessity. Especially when you have a long commute and you’re listening to commercials, feeling queasy.
19. Do you read the Enquirer/ InTouch/ Us/ People?
I used to have a subscription to Us magazine. I adore their body analysis pics where they’ll take a picture of a couple and they’ll say, ‘The angle of her neck means she’s insecure about their relationship. The way he’s bending his back indicates he cheated last week.’ Love it!
20. Do you lie about it?
I would bring Us to work with me! National Enquirer and In Touch, I like reading their headlines in the checkout line.

Courtney Love claims on her Web site that there was a big pile of white powder in the rest room at Paris Hilton’s birthday party on Oscar eve.
Now the head of the Foundation for Jewish Camping is skeptical about Paris and Nicole Richie’s stint as camp counselors on the next season of “The Simple Life.” “Counselors are trained, recruited, and tested,” said Jerry Silverman. “We take [it] very seriously.”

Gwyneth Paltrow’s hubby was so rude to journalists in Brazil that one is saying he feels sorry for the “Shakespeare In Love” star for being married to him.
“Gwyneth Paltrow must suffer,” opined a writer from Folha de Sao Paulo, according to our translator. “Chris Martin, her husband isn’t one of the nicest persons on earth. At least that’s what it seemed on the 20 minutes press conference.”
The Coldplay frontman was in the South American country, and became especially testy when his famous wife’s name was mentioned.
When a woman reporter asked if Martin ever planned to sing a duet with Paltrow, the musician snapped: “What’s your favorite sexual position?”
At one point, Martin reportedly griped that all that matters in music today is that your song becomes a ring tone.
And, according to Folha de Sao Paulo, shortly after Paltrow’s name was mentioned again, Martin stormed out.

My fave pug, Cameron Diaz and Tyrese were caught getting nasty, swappin’ saliva at L.A. club Xenii.
“They made out right in front of me on the dance floor,” says the spy.
They also came (and left) together to a pre-Oscars party thrown by Harvey Weinstein, Tamara Mellon and Tracey Edmonds. Diaz’s rep tells us the two are not dating.

Former “Laguna Beach” has been and asshole Jason Wahler was arrested and booked this weekend after cops say he “resisted a public officer” during a raid on underage drinkers in North Carolina.
According to police sources, the 20-year-old lied about his age when he was approached inside Rumors nightclub by members of the Alcohol Law Enforcement Division.Wahler claimed he wasn’t carrying any ID that night,
but insisted that police could “check TMZ.com” to verify his identity! Wahler was taken to Pitt County Jail early Saturday morning, where sources claim he was anything but cooperative, shouting multiple obscenities throughout the booking process. After spending just a few hours behind bars, Wahler was released on $1000 bail.
Jason’s ass is due back in court in April.
He has a history of being a douche. Jason was arrested for misdemeanor battery after an altercation with a tow truck driver in September. Three weeks later, he was ordered to complete five days of community service after he was arrested in New York for disorderly conduct.
Jason looks like he’s 27, I don’t know why the cops would ask for his I.D. in the first place. And boozin’ it up in North Carolina?! Sounds like he’s going places, literally.
Anyone agree with him?
Simon Cowell slams Britney Spears and Brit’s Robbie Williams for checking into rehab, saying that they have no idea of what hard life really is.
Britney’s currently in Promises in Malibu while Williams is seeking treatment for an addiction to painkillers at The Meadows clinic in Arizona.
Simon says,
“This whole thing is a total indulgence. Britney and Robbie need to get a grip. I don’t know what’s going on in Britney’s head but my attitude is I couldn’t care less. She should go back and live with her mum for six months.
I went to a deprived part of the world recently… It really opened my eyes. You can feel sorry for yourself over the smallest things, but then you look at the world and you think, ‘I’ve got nothing to complain about.’
“So when I hear about the Robbies and the Britneys going to into rehab, I think, ‘I’ll tell you what rehab is. Go to where I just went, where people are really suffering and then you’ll see just how good your life is.’
I mean Britney is not working in a coal mine is she? You are whisked to the studio in a very large limo, you are flown around in private jet, everyone will agree with you and physically making an album is a doddle.”
Depression’s not about working in a coal mine. Having a limo, a jet, and more won’t make ya happy. Effing Kevin Federline’s brains out makes Britney happy, and that’s over. Everyone knows that’s what this is all about.
Shut it up, Simon.
