January 21, 2012|By Tirdad Derakhshani, Inquirer Staff Writer

If Barack Obama doesn't get reelected, maybe he has a future as a crooner.

Al added that if the prez "can get the economy going again and get everything going that he wants to, then we'll all be together." . . . Kelly Osbourne denied a RadarOnline.com report that had her drinking at a post-Golden Globes party. K.O., who says she's on the wagon, said she wasn't even there.

Elon Musk, who's helped found stuff like PayPal and SpaceX, is splitting from Talulah Riley (Pride and Prejudice) after a shade more than a year of bledded wiss. . . . Sax guy Kenny G, 55, and wife Lyndie Benson-Gorelick are splits, baby, after 20 years of wedded weddedness. And, since he's worth $50 mils, oh, man, the lawyers: His is Laura Wasser, who's repped Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian, and hers is Gary Fishbein. . . . Etta James, who passed away Friday, heard Beyoncé singing Etta's "At Last" in Cadillac Records and wasn't that impressed.
