Sarah Palin adventure ends today!
Goodbye, Juneau. Hello, who knows?
Sarah Palin's Alaskan adventure ends Sunday, when the mooseburger-chomping hockey mom abandons the governor's mansion for life as a private citizen - with a possible eye on national office.
Palin, 45, steps down after 11 tumultuous months in the spotlight, started by her surprising selection as GOP running mate for Sen. John McCain.
The exposure wasn't necessarily all good for Palin, who went from political maverick to punch line on her failed trip from Wasilla to Washington.
The bespectacled brunette, with her penchant for winking into the camera, was memorably parodied by Tina Fey in a series of "Saturday Night Live" appearances.
She also became the butt of jokes after reports that the GOP spent more than $150,000 on a makeover.
And her unmarried teen daughter's pregnancy became public during the campaign.
On the eve of her gubernatorial departure, Palin's national popularity numbers are plunging - and her legal bills soaring - in the face of an ethics probe.
Palin raised eyebrows and questions by bolting office with more than a year left in her term. And she's deflected questions about her political future - although she plans to write a book, campaign for other Republican candidates and speak Aug. 8 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
The question for Palin: Who's listening? The answer, according to a new poll, is not good.
The Washington Post-ABC News survey shows 53 percent of Americans rated her unfavorably, with 57 percent convinced she doesn't understand complex issues.
And 54 percent do not see the the former mayor of Wasilla as a strong leader.
Palin, the mother of five and grandmother of an infant boy, boasts a following of 100,000 on Twitter - a loyal but not extraordinarily large national number.
Despite the negatives, Palin is still considered a contender for the GOP presidential nod in three years. Palin officially hands over the job to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell at a Fairbanks picnic Sunday, her final event as the state's chief executive.
Wendy Williams and Omarosa "How you Doin"?
Famed for her no-holds-barred and RAW, bitchy approach, shock jock Wendy Williams met her match in Apprentice star Omarosa last year. Filmed during the pilot (test) series for Wendy's talk show, Omarosa did what very few before her had managed to do; she checked Wendy Williams! With many having a love /hate take on Wendy, this sure does make for hilarious viewing. What do you think?

Kelis has Welcomed a Baby Boy!! (Knight)
Kelis has welcomed a baby boy.
Knight Jones -- who weighed 7.8 lbs. -- was born Wednesday around 9 p.m. in New York City, a rep for the 29-year-old singer tells Usmagazine.com.
Adds the rep, "The beautiful baby boy and his mother are doing wonderful."
Kelis had been in labor since 2 a.m. Monday and had a natural birth, with her mother and sister by her side in the room.
It is the first child for the "Milkshake" singer.
The baby's father is rapper Nas, with whom she split while seven months pregnant. The two are currently embroiled in a bitter divorce, as Nas has asked a court to deny Kelis any spousal support that she has requested.
Both sides are also seeking joint custody of the child.

Kelis "Milkshake" hits the Jack pot!!
Kelis -- who filed for divorce in April -- argued she needed $3,500 for a baby nurse and an additional $20,000 for strollers, cribs and other baby supplies.
But the singer, who gave birth in New York on Tuesday, will now have cash to spare after a judge ordered Nas to hand over the more substantial sum during a hearing on Thursday.
He will also have to cover additional costs of prenatal expenses and medical insurance and pay $35,000 in legal fees to Kelis' lawyer Laura Wasser.
The former hip-hop supercouple was originally due in court on Tuesday, but they were excused from the hearing after Kelis went into labor.
The stars are both seeking joint custody of the baby boy.
Rhianna's New Look!
The Verdict is still out on this shh. RiRi please stop being an attention whore. You should try working with a singing coach and maybe working on those vocals before trying to be a POP "Icon". We like you and all, but you have a lot of work to do. Now back to the music.

Whitney's Listening Party
Whitney Houston looked great and sounded even better Tuesday night in New York at her listening party for I Look to You. Houston waited until all nine new tracks were previewed at the event before she came out and addressed the people.
"Thank you all for coming," she said, dressed in a black dress. "I'm truly humbled by this experience. I had other plans about three years ago to live on this little island and open a fruit stand."
Houston's longtime mentor and label boss, Clive Davis, called her and had other plans around that time — he wanted her to sing again. Houston's mom Sissy echoed that sentiment, telling Whitney she was "tired of hearing what's on the radio" and "tired of people taking off their clothes."
The album took three and half years to record and still isn't quite finished. Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Akon, R. Kelly, Danja, Harvey Mason Jr., Tricky Stewart and Stargate are all confirmed as collaborators.
"I sang from my heart, my soul, my spiritual awareness. This is from me to all of you," she said to the crowd.
"You've overwhelmed me. I hope you love it.
