Sadly, death pays in show business. And now it also costs extra.

That's what would-be renters of the three-bedroom SoHo loft where Health Ledger died are discovering. Instead of the already pricey $22,000 per month Ledger was losing to his landlord, the new tenant will have to fork over $26,000.

They've gotta be joking, right?

Sure, some of Oprah Winfrey's female contemporaries may be heads of state, chair major financial corporations and be second to none in philanthropic endeavors, but if they don't have a daily talk show, they should just take a number...preferably behind Winfrey.

The daytime diva cum political kingmaker once again made the cut on Forbes' annual list of the 100 Most Powerful Women in the World.

While she did not top the list, coming in at No. 36, she was deemed more powerful than queens Elizabeth II and Rania Al-Abdullah, first lady Laura Bush and billionaire philanthropist Melinda Gates.

• Apparently, we're still not done talking about George Clooney's ex Sarah Larson. New gossip says she allegedly cheated on Georgie with a "media mogul." Fool!

• This new Faith Hill single, "A Baby Changes Everything," goes out to Jamie Lynn Spears and Juno. Where was this song a year ago?

• Michael Jackson steps out unmasked for a night in Vegas—wearing formal pajama wear, of course.

• Ali Lohan landed her first magazine cover on a little publication called Vanity Fair. Kidding. Actually, it's something called Supermodels Unlimited.

• And speaking of inappropriately aged child stars, something seems really wrong with this Hannah Montana candy.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson took a break from all the fun they've been having lately to address comments Michael Lohan made in an E! News report about Sam planning to pen a tell-all book.

Earlier this week, he told us: Sam’s “using my daughter. People never even knew who Samantha Ronson was until she met Lindsay. She was just some L.A. DJ.”

Not cool, Mike, according to Linds' blog: “He has become a public embaressment (sic) and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its obvious who that is).” His motivations are pretty obvi to her. It's all because of “an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME.”

Poor Linds was so upset she was even listening to her daddy-issues anthem “Confessions of a Broken Heart," according to her MySpace profile. Probably on full blast while destroying an innocent room.

Someone has taken Kate Moss' role as fashion's golden girl rather literally.

British sculptor Marc Quinn is ready to unveil his latest creation to the world, a nearly $2.8 million, 110-pound solid gold statue of the supermodel, hyped as the largest such creation built since ancient Egypt.

Quinn, the artist behind 2006's Sphinx, a painted bronze statue of Moss in a somewhat provocative yoga pose, has dubbed his new golden girl Siren.

And the British Museum has already heeded its call.

George Clooney wants to be an Air head.

The Oscar winner is in talks to star in Up in the Air, the new feature from Juno director Jason Reitman about a corporate downsizer obsessed with racking up air miles.

The 47-year-old star would play a shallow management consultant who goes around firing people to cut costs for big business. But his dream is to collect 1 million frequent-flier miles and switch jobs to work for the mysterious MythTech.

Shannen Doherty is Hollywood's original bad girl, but you wouldn't know it from the press she's doing lately—especially the latest Us Weekly cover story in which the actress insists she's found an "inner peace" and refuses to comment on her turbulent relationships with her former 90210 castmates.

This is not the exposé we Doherty devotees expected. Seriously, not even a tiny spat with her reunited costar, Jennie Garth? Au contraire, says the "grown up and evolved" Shannenbot.

What is going on? In her day, ShanDo put the antics of Young Hollywood to shame...
