1/1 — SCOTT FOLEY from The Unit engaging in some New Year's Day shopping with friends at Century City Mall. He's a handsome guy. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Our good friend the party priest is now (in)famous for boozin' it up something fierce at NYC clubs and then getting defrocked. We love him. Now there is photo evidence of his antics!

Marky Mark was snapped once again by a creepily urine-curious paparazzo, this time on a golf course. The tinkle-splattered bush in question was then pruned by an industrious caddy, who'll later put the Ziploc-sealed clipping up for sale on eBay in a bogus charity auction for the nonexistent "Mark Wahlberg Incontinence Research Fund." Don't be fooled.

Caroline Kennedy is basically a lock for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, according to someone close to the governor according to CBS 2. Sheesh. Is it true?

Apparently, Hugh Jackman would prefer his career uncapsized, as Variety notes he has pulled out of Steven Soderbergh's upcoming 3-D musical, Cleo (citing scoffed-at "scheduling conflicts"). So who in Hollywood can replace him?

We hope your NYE was as joyous, wasted, and overstuffed as ours was, and your First Hangover of 2009—which felt like a tiny monkey putting up drywall inside our skull—has abated.

Wow, it's already January 2 and no Julia Allison posts yet? Well it's time to get you all caught up on the protofameball's shattered sense of calm and ongoing New Year's friendsult fight!

Welcome back to Defamer Attractions, your radically truncated guide to what's new, noteworthy and/or foolhardy enough to open on the last weekend of the year at the movies.

This is a photo, taken from this panorama, of Times Square—the frozen dreamscape where revelers rang in the New Year early Thursday morning. It's pretty.

Young millionaire Lil Wayne sacrificed his own body to sell 2.9 million albums last year, but surprisingly the record industry continued going straight to hell in 2008, if "numbers" are to be believed:

Karl Rove wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal. The best present he got this year was a photo of some "bearded and scruffy" Navy Seals.

The identity of the supporting star of the new reality shitshow The City was such a mystery! Until we got the best email ever.

It's been a rough few weeks for Vogue editor Anna Wintour. There were the rumors that Condé Nast chief Si Newhouse was thinking of replacing her with Carine Roitfeld, the editor of French Vogue. Then there was more concrete evidence of Vogue's fading relevance: The number of ad pages in the magazine tumbled by nearly 10 percent in 2008, a decline more substantial than most of Vogue's competitors. Yesterday, the Times' Cathy Horyn, one of the few fashion writers daring enough to take on the industry's most powerful figure, laid out some of the magazine's problems with a piece entitled "What's Wrong with Vogue?"

Which New Year's Eve TV experience was more painful: Kathy Griffin screaming about knocking "dicks outta your mouth" on CNN, or Dick Clark's stroke-ravaged Frankenstein muttering on ABC? Click to watch and choose.

The Minnesota Senate race recount will never, ever end, and everyone in that cold and desolate state has obviously proven to be a complete buffoon. Let's meet one of those buffoons now!

Today we have cheating hearts, STDs, and sad marriages. Typical.

Yesterday America fell to its knees, wailing, because Time Warner threatened to pull several networks off the air because of a spat with Viacom. Well it's all over now so return to the couch, sheep.

Yes the holiest of unions has been sanctioned. 31-year-old Bryan has married Graciella Sanchez, lil' preggers Jamie Lynn's manager. If we lived in California we'd probably say "fuck you." [Us]

American queen Sarah Palin spent her New Year's Eve in the traditional Wasilla way: placing angry phone calls to media outlets insisting her teen (mom) daughter and her man aren't high school dropouts.

Did you make a bunch of New Year's resolutions? Feeling positive and optimistic about the wonderful life changes you're going to implement? That's sweet, says the Times, but you're totally kidding yourself and you'll likely fail by February—80 percent of Americans do! "It's exceptionally hard to make life changes," according to Alan Deutschman, the author of Change or Die, a book about how rare it is for people to alter their behavior.
