DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28


*Bono from U2 was honored Thursday with the 2007 Liberty Medal in Philadelphia for his humanitarian work in Africa. By the way, Bono and The Edge completed the music for Spiderman: The Musical, which will eventually be on Broadway.

*Here's a shocker: Oprah Winfrey tops Forbes Magazine's list of the top-earning TV celebrities. Oprah raked in $260 million from June 2006 through June 2007. Jerry Seinfeld is second on the list, followed by Simon Cowell, David Letterman and Donald Trump.

*A 10-year-old boy will be an extra in an upcoming Will Ferrell movie after his parents placed the winning bid of more than $47, 000 in a charity auction on ebay (lucky kid--I had trouble getting $5 from my parents when I was growing up!)

*Ryan Seacrest isn't busy enough, so he will now produce a new scripted sitcom for the E channel starring David Hasselhoff. Tales from the Hoff hopes to be like Curb Your Enthusiasm.

*New movies in theaters include The Kingdom starring Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner and The Game Plan starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

*Did you know that Patrick Dempsey auditioned for the role of Dr. House on Fox's hit show "House" before he landed the role of Dr. McDreamy on Grey's Anatomy? It's true! I'm glad it worked out like it did because I can't imagine anyone else playing the McDreamy role!

*Listen for Diane's Celebrity Dirt weekday mornings at 6:30, 7:30 & 8:30 on 95.1 WAYV
