Chris Brown Speaks The Obvious And Yet…

21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party - Arrivals

On the eve of the day where the incident that made him infamous is set to be serialized, singer Chris Brown decided to address that fateful night back in February of 2009 that sent his re-girlfriend (we should totally use that term from now on) Rihanna to the front of newspapers around the world and nearly sent his career down the drain.

He says that the incident was the “deepest regret of my life”, but rather than allow a full apology, he once again seems to blame it on just things getting out of hand.

“Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals”, he said to the UK’s Mirror. “”But she loves me — what can I say? I’m forgiven … but, yes, I worked hard for it.”

As for their recent reconnection and feeling like he hasn’t changed, he didn’t really seem too understanding of their attitudes either.

“People attack me and criticize me, it happens all the time”, he expressed. “But they don’t know me, and they don’t know us. It doesn’t bother me any more … Other people can judge us but they don’t know anything.”

Well, we’ll always know that night, dude. It’s obvious neither one of these two are ever going to get it. Ever. And it’s just more than a little bit sad that they don’t.

Lindsay’s Lawyer Will Try — And Fail — To “Fix” HerLindsay’s Lawyer Will Try — And Fail — To “Fix” Her

Lindsay Lohan Probation Hearing at the Airport Branch Courthouse in Los Angeles on June 23, 2011

Well, if you’re gonna aim, aim high.

Remember that “inappropriate” letter that Lindsay Lohan’s newest representation attached to documents during his attempt to get her perjury charges dropped?

Well, it seems like Mark Heller at least (attempted) to have his heart in the right place: he seems to think that he and his team can clean up the life of the troubled actress.

Yeah, he’s serious.

    …Heller attached a letter he wrote to the Santa Monica and L.A. City Attorneys to legal docs he filed with the court.  Sources connected with the prosecution tell us the letter pissed the judge off because it looks like an attempt to improperly influence the court.

    In the letter, Heller writes to prosecutors Terry White and Spencer Hart … “… we, as a team, [can] help ‘fix’ Lindsay Lohan.”

    Heller goes on to blame Lindsay’s troubles on her dysfunctional family, claiming you can’t judge her “without considering the pain, torment and confusion which Lindsay has experienced and has been afflicted with.”

He hopes to also do what he can to keep the 26-year-old from jail, expressing that she would take up “intensive psychotherapy”, report to regular screenings for drugs and alcohol and even become a bit of a motivational speaker in hospitals and schools — and even believes they can start up a non-profit in her name.

Oh, it’s sad — he obviously doesn’t know who he’s working with — or apparently, how it will be paid for (as he didn’t mention that in the “letter”).

We’ll give this about another month or so before he realizes Shawn Holley may have had the best way out.

Kimye Recreates Baby Making Moment For Mag Cover

KanyeKimLoffiel

Well, this was something no one probably wanted to see.

Soon-to-be-parents Kim Kardashian and Kanye West decided to show off their sexy side (in a bit of the literal sense) on the cover of French magazine, L’Officiel Hommes in a nude pose that definitely have some eyes raised — and not in a good way.

Which, of course, they probably planned.

    Kanye’s muscular back is on full-display as he holds his ladylove close, while Kim makes a sensual expression and clutches the back of her baby daddy’s head with her perfectly manicured hands.

In an interesting addition, the reality starlet spoke about that other thing that many believe should’ve come before the baby — marriage — in Cosmopolitan magazine, saying that she believes she’s found the one — and she’s said that before, too.

“[Marriage] is something I know that we both want in our future, but I don’t have this sense of urgency about it,” she said. “I have this best friend who understands me and helps me through all my tough experiences, and vice versa, you know? It just feels like this is it for me.”

Well, maybe this will make it to 73 days — if she ever gets divorced first.

Pain In The Wrong “Direction”

Harry1DShoe

Word to the wise: it’s called a pair of shoes for a reason.

That’s probably a lesson One Direction member Harry Styles has learned the hard way after what took place on a stop in Glasgow (in Scotland) during the band’s Take Me Home tour.

During a down moment while the group chatted with the audience between songs, a shoe suddenly flew on the stage near him.

The 19-year-old then made the mistake of wondering where the other shoe was — and then found it when it flew right into his crotch.

The band rushed to his aid as he went down, but ever the trooper, he jumped back up — after a while.

The laughter, however, probably still hasn’t ended. Poor Hazza.

Check out the hilarious moment after the jump.

No Tour For No Doubt

40th Anniversary American Music Awards - Arrivals

Well, this isn’t the greatest sign.

No Doubt has decided to “postpone” the tour for their latest album Push and Shove in order to go back to the studio to record new music for an all new album.

The info was released yesterday and while many of their fans might see this as a good thing, keep in mind that their last album was only released within the last six months (the end of September 2012, to be exact).

“We [entered the studio] in January and the new music started flowing with unexpected ease. After spending three years recording the last album, this new pace feels incredibly exciting,” the group explains via their Facebook.

“We have decided to follow our muse for the time being and focus on this new music that we don’t want to stop. So, we will be postponing our tour plans briefly while we endeavor to create something special and inspired. Our goal as a band is to share this new music with you as quickly as possible – both recorded and live on tour.”

The album itself hasn’t done too well — with only two singles released and the video for the second single (“Looking Hot”) being cancelled due to controversy.

Maybe they’ll do better this time around. Or maybe not.

“Piloted” Out Of The Group

Cirque Du Soleil's "Viva Elvis" World Premiere - Blue Carpet Arrivals

Lead singers leaving their bands isn’t really news — but being fired by the rest of your bandmates? Oh, something went down.

Unfortunately, no one knows exactly the reason as to why Stone Temple Pilots’ lead singer Scott Weiland was just ousted from the group by the other members, but it is a bit strange considering he was the charge behind some of their biggest hits since the band got together in 1986.

    The group released an ominously curt statement today, saying, ”Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland.” They don’t give any further explanation.

    Weiland denied rumors he was leaving the band just yesterday, telling Rolling Stone, ”STP has not broken up. I haven’t quit. I haven’t been fired.”

The group had reformed in 2008 after a five-year hiatus and toured throughout last year — which makes the news all the more strange.

Rumors began last month of the 45-year-old being kicked out, with legendary guitarist Slash saying he had been fired from the group.

A solo tour is planned to begin next month.

Scott Weiland: Bring It On, STP!

Cirque Du Soleil's "Viva Elvis" World Premiere - Blue Carpet Arrivals

It’s about to go down.

Former (?) frontman to Stone Temple Pilots, Scott Weiland has spoken out regarding his dismissal from the group he led and not only does he claim to not have heard about it until the news broke earlier today, but he’s not going down without a fight.

“I learned of my supposed ‘termination’ from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press”, he says.

“Not sure how I can be ‘terminated’ from a band that I founded, fronted, and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that’s something for the lawyers to figure out.”

I do believe we’ve just seen an epic counter attack.

We’ll keep you posted.

Singer Undergoes Second Battle With Cancer

"Knight and Day" UK Premiere - Arrivals

Sadly, the things we fight in our lives can come back with a vengeance.

One of my favorite singers, Anastacia has revealed on her Facebook through a rep that she is battling breast cancer for the second time after successfully beating the disease back in 2003.

“Anastacia has sadly been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time after having successfully survived her 2003 battle with the disease”, the statement read. “Consequently she has been forced to cancel all performances, tours and any travel from now until further notice.”

She had to relearn how to work her tremendous voice once more — and came through with flying colors — on her self-titled album released in 2004, which became one of her biggest sellers, although it was a personal Hell to get through the recording sessions.

“My doctor told me I’d be tired, not stupid”, she expressed in an interview for the album. “I could not focus on anything. I’d write a verse and then I couldn’t write the chorus or I’d write the chorus but couldn’t write the bridge. I couldn’t talk, I couldn’t think straight, I was totally out of it.”

She had been in remission for 10 years before the recurrence, but promises not to let it slow her down a second time around.

“Anastacia will continue the writing and recording of her new album despite her diagnosis and hopes to schedule a new tour as soon as possible”, the statement on her fan page continued. “Now more then ever, she is determined to live by her motto “Don’t ever let cancer get the ‘Best of You!’” A born survivor, Anastacia has one goal and that is to make a full recovery with the support of her family, friends and everyone around her.”

A obvious born fighter, I know she will get through this and she is in my thoughts.

Feel free to check out one of my favorite songs from her, “Paid My Dues” after the jump.

(Prince) Michael Jackson Makes His Way To TV

Mr. Pink Ginseng Drink Launch Party - Arrivals

Looks like someone else in the Jackson family is starting his impending career early in life.

The Gloved One’s oldest son, Prince Michael Jackson is set to make his acting debut on an upcoming episode of The CW’s 90210.

The 16-year-old is set to play the part of Cooper, “a trauma victim Silver (Jessica Stroup) bonds with as they both realize how precious life is at a very young age.” He’ll be appearing in the season finale.

The young Prince is getting pretty comfortable in front of the cameras lately: he’s also been filling in as a special correspondent on Entertainment Tonight.

On one hand, it’s great to see him making his own money.

But on the other hand, he does remember what happened to his father, right?

Let’s hope he takes it slowly.

No More Chicken Pox In Her “View”

Lincoln Center Presents: An Evening with Ralph Lauren Hosted by Oprah Winfrey - Arrivals

She’s ba-ack! Well, almost anyway.

After dealing with the chicken pox way later in life, Barbara Walters has been cleared to return to her chair on The View next Monday (March 4th).

The legendary anchor shared the news with her co-hosts via a phone call on today’s show.

“Like it or not, I’m coming back on the show again. No more chickenpox,” Walters said. “I haven’t been contagious for a while, but they wanted me to have rest, and I’ve had enough rest and I’m ready to come back.”

Sounds like someone’s just itching to get back.

Yeah, I went there. I’m as ashamed as you are.

Nick Lachey: Shameless Kid Shot?

NickLachey

On one hand, this is really cute… but on the other, regarding his pretty non-existent solo career: really?

Check out the somewhat shameless cover of Nick Lachey’s upcoming album, A Father’s Lullaby, which shows him cradling his baby son, Camden.

    “When I first learned that I was going to be a father, I was inspired to create a special tribute to my son,” Lachey said in a press release. “Music has always been an incredibly significant part of my life and a meaningful way in which I express myself.”

    “Creating this album allowed me to further connect with Camden while also sharing the experience with families who are on a similar journey of welcoming a new life into their world,” he adds.

While there’s never anything wrong with showing off your love for your child, I think there might be a few of us scratching our heads over this one.

If you’re actually interested, A Father’s Lullaby will hit iTunes on March 13th.

Michelle Obama Could’ve Been In Danger

MichelleObama

Once again, the supervisors behind the leaders of our country slept on the job and although the reason is somewhat understandable, it’s still a little scary.

Let us explain: remember how FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States) Michelle Obama surprised everyone with her appearance on this Sunday’s Oscar telecast to present Best Picture to Argo?

Well, it turns out that perhaps not all security measures were taken regarding the envelope holding the name of the winner — which again, I totally get, but on the outside, is a little frightening.

    “…it’s practically inconceivable that any package — even a high-profile Oscar envelope — would reach the First Lady without being thoroughly vetted first.

    But a rep for the Academy tells [TMZ], “First Lady Michelle Obama was the first and only person to open the Best Picture envelope. PwC [PricewaterhouseCoopers] accountants are the only individuals who have knowledge of the results prior to their live reveal on the Oscars.”

So in other words, a package went unchecked and made it’s way to the White House — which once more, wasn’t dangerous — but had it been, could’ve been disastrous.

The Secret Service refused to comment on the situation — and I think we can all see why.

"Alex Cross" Los Angeles Premiere - Arrivals

I take my original quote about this being better than a Lifetime movie — this is some straight Trapped In The Closet kind of craziness!

So Oscar Pistorius is currently free on bail (he was released not too soon after the ruling), the lead investigator in the case went a little gun crazy as well and now, it turns out that the murderous streak runs a little closer to the Olympian: his older brother is currently also facing charges of murder after accidentally hitting a woman on a motorcycle with his car.

    Carl Pistorius has been charged with culpable homicide — according to eNCA news, a South African TV channel — stemming from a car crash in 2010, in which prosecutors say his reckless driving led to the death a motorcyclist.

    Carl’s lawyer recently told the station that Carl “deeply regrets the accident,” but was adamant his client was not drunk at the the time of the collision, adding, “There is no doubt that [he] is innocent and the charge will be challenged in court.”

Carl’s charges (the very same ones Oscar’s lawyers are hoping to get things dropped down to) hold a 15-year sentence should he be found guilty. The trial was set to begin last Thursday — the same day the former Olympian was bailed out — but has been postponed until March.

And you thought your family had issues.

U Can’t Touch This — But The Cops Did

"Thor" Los Angeles Premiere - Arrivals

You would think the incredible downfall of his career would be bad luck enough for MC Hammer, but he claims that the fact that he’s black was the reason he ended up in a Dublin, California jail on Saturday.

The man who created “Hammer Time” says he was sitting in his car when a police officer tapped his window and not for his autograph, either.

According to the rapper, the cop asked him if he was on “parole or probation”.

    Hammer thought it was all a joke until “he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help.”

    [He] summed it all up by saying, “only thing more dangerous than a scared man with a gun, is a scared man with an agenda, a gun and a badge. I was citied for obstruction smh.”

He was charged with obstructing an officer in the performance of their duties and resisting an officer, before being released.

Obviously, he’s calling out racial profiling as the reason he was picked up.

The Dublin PD hasn’t commented.

One Less Jackson

"Red" UK Premiere - Arrivals

What’s done is done.

A court commissioner officially signed off on Jermaine Jackson’s name change on Friday, legally changing his name to Jermaine LaJuane Jacksun.

The news broke back in November of last year of him wanting to change his name — following the beginning of the saga that included custodial changes of brother Michael’s children, a letter regarding money from Michael’s estate (that Jermaine eventually removed himself from), a missing grandmother who was said to be only “on vacation“, and a slap that never actually happened.

As for the reason for the slight difference, that remains unclear — all Jackson Jacksun would say was that it was for “artistic differences”.

Which is fine — although he’s currently performing overseas with the surviving members of the Jacksons.

The weirdness never strays far from the family.

Lindsay’s Lawyer A Huge Failure — And She’s Still Broke

Mr. Pink Ginseng Drink Launch Party - Arrivals

If at first you don’t succeed, fail, fail again.

At some point, you have to laugh feel sorry for Lindsay Lohan and today, that might be heightened more than ever.

The (sometimes?) actress’ new lawyer, Mark Heller attempted to get those perjury charges and the entire case surrounding them dismissed from court with claims that she wasn’t properly given her Miranda rights (that whole “you have the right to remain silent” speech you’ve probably memorized, thanks to those Law and Order marathons we’ve all seen).

Well, it was a half-assed decent attempt, but there was one problem — she didn’t need to be Mirandized.

When the accident occurred last year, Lindsay wasn’t arrested or in custody and it’s perfectly legal to question an accident victim without the need for their rights to be read.

    Sources connected to the case tell us Heller made some huge mistakes in filing the docs — maybe the biggest was that he attached a letter to the prosecutor touting Lindsay — he’s not supposed to try and influence judges outside of court so it’s a huge no-no.  We’re told the letter has been purged from his legal docs.

    Heller calls his papers a “Bill of Particulars” — bizarre and almost unheard of in California courts — which include a motion to suppress evidence, a motion to continue the case and a motion to dismiss charges.

Yep. Sounds like she’s got a big winner there.

But of course, this is Lindsay, queen of the Hot Mess Kingdom we’re talking about. So of course, this story isn’t done yet. Head on after the jump for more epic fail.

If Heller’s expecting to actually get paid for his shoddy services, he’s gonna have to get in line behind the IRS, who Linds owes for three years of missed taxes.

That’s right: THREE YEARS.

    This time, it’s the State of California that’s trying to collect … claiming LiLo owes $56,717.90 for unpaid income tax for 2011.

    In case you’re keeping score … the IRS was all over Lindsay’s ass for unpaid federal taxes for 2009 ($93,701.57) and 2010 ($140,203.30).

    Lohan was able to clear her 2009 debt thanks to a $100k check from her old pal Charlie Sheen … but it seems like she’s on her own for 2010 and 2011.

Oh, Lindsay. Sometimes, you’re in on the joke — but we’re still waiting for that day to happen.

Oops, She Did It Again: Janet Jackson Secretly Married

JanetWissam

Seems like old habits die hard.

Janet Jackson just admitted that she’s not actually engaged to Qatar millionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana — she’s actually married to him and has been since last year.

In a joint statement, the singer and her now husband attempted to kill the rumor that they weren’t planning a huge wedding — because the nuptials had already taken place before any of the public knew about it.

“The rumours regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. Last year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony.”

“Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favourite children’s charities,” they added in the statement posted on Janet’s site. “We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy. With love, Wissam and Janet.”

This is not the first time Janet’s been married in secret: she eloped with first husband James DeBarge in 1984 (the union was annulled a year later) and it only came to light that she was married to former manager Rene Elizando, Jr. after he filed for divorce in 2000.

Girl Gone Wild — On Instagram

MadonnaInstagram

There’s nothing wrong with thinking you’ve still got it well into your 50′s — we just don’t need to see pictures of it all over the place.

That’s partially the message Madonna got from the watchers of Instagram over the weekend, when they sent her a message telling her that she was violating their terms by posting one too many racy shots of herself.

Obviously not realizing who they had just warned, the 54-year-old took a screencap of the message and posted that as well.

    “It has come to our attention that your account on Instagram has violated our Community Guidelines,” it reads, before ticking off a series of no-nos including “don’t share photos that aren’t yours” and “don’t share photos that show nudity or mature content.”

    The warning also urged the star to pull down the offending snaps, lest the plug be pulled on her account.

Although she only signed onto the photo sharing site a week ago, her followers have grown to nearly 170,000 and have seemingly been fine with the pics of her cleavage and derriere.

No worries; we’re using a more suitable image of the singer, so your eyes don’t burn in their sockets.

An “Unapologetic” Episode of SVU

ChrisRiriBDay

If they were hoping the media would be the only place they would be hounded for their recent reconnection, they thought horribly wrong.

The saga of Chris Brown and Rihanna (who recently celebrated Riri’s 25th birthday together; seen above) is getting a fictionalized turn in next week’s episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

While they obviously won’t be called out by names, there are going to be some striking similarities between what airs on the show and what actually transpired following that February evening where Riri’s face was beaten to a horrible pulp.

The episode, entitled “My Funny Valentine” even goes as far to have a popular female pop star’s pictures of her heavily bruised face splashed all over papers.

    A promising singer is brutally attacked by her boyfriend, a popular hip hop star. ADA Barba (guest star Raul Esparza) works to build a case, but the victim refuses to aid the prosecution and, despite Detective Benson’s (Mariska Hargitay) best efforts, continues to put herself in danger. The case quickly spirals into a media circus, perpetrated by both the defendant and his uncompromising attorney (guest star Jeffrey Tambor) … Special appearances by Perez Hilton, Dave Navarro and Wendy Williams.”

I think it’s fairly certain that the twosome the actors are emulating will not be watching this episode.

Check out a preview of the episode for yourself after the jump. The episode itself airs Wed., Feb. 27 at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.

Lindsay Lohan Loses “Everything”

2012 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner - Arrivals

Poor Lindsay Lohan got a taste what it’s like on the losing side of a court battle today — possibly tragic foreshadowing? — when she lost a pretty heavy case against rapper Pitbull.

And she lost hard.

In case you weren’t pay attention, the actress sued the guy whose pretty much on everyone’s track as of late, back in 2011 for using her name in his hit, “Give Me Everything” when he closed out a verse with the line, “I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan”.

She says he never said he could use her name in any way and was making money off of her by doing so.

However, here’s something she would’ve learned had she finished school — the first amendment pretty much covered Pitbull from any liability.

    “… today a New York federal judge sided with Pitbull … ruling that Lindsay is dead wrong on the law — because the song is a work of art protected by the 1st amendment PLUS Lindsay’s barely even mentioned in it.

    The judge also ruled … Lindsay’s allegations that she suffered emotional distress are also BS.”

So Mr. Worldwide keeps on keepin’ on and Lindsay continues to look for other ways to get that money she desperately needs.

Womp-womp.

Brit vs. Brit At The Brits

BoyGeorgeTwitter

Well, this turned into a huge mess over a slight misunderstanding.

At last night’s BRIT Awards (it’s like the UK’s version of the Grammys), a pop legend and a pop phenom bumped heads long enough to bring their drama to Twitter the next day.

Liam Payne of One Direction (who ended up taking home an award for “BRITs Global Success) and Boy George (whose lost quite a bit of weight recently, as he shared recently) had a bit of a row (British term for “argument” — OK, I’ll stop now) over what actually transpired when they met at the awards ceremony.

“Top marks to [One Direction member] Harry Styles for stopping for a picture with my niece”, the Culture Club leader tweeted, “and Bollox’s to Liam and the disrespectful wanker of a minder!”

Liam, who is usually seen as the most mature one of the group, took to Twitlonger; the feature that allows users to rant past 140 characters, to rightfully defend himself.

“@BoyGeorge now now boy lets not tell porkies [slang for "lies"]. Firstly thanks for getting my name wrong three times secondly then asking me where is liam?…awkward. Then when you finally got it right saying you wanted Niall [Horan; fellow 1D member] instead.”

“If you would have asked me for a picture”, he continued, ” i would have stopped bro i just did what you said and pointed niall out for you so u just keep wearing ur strange hats and enjoy yourself my little Georgie pie… It’s still not cool you just look weird.”

Not realizing the power of the boys’ fans, the 51-year-old set himself up for massive and anger-filled Tweets from the Directioners (One Direction’s fan base).

“One direction fans stop bothering me!”, he begged in another message.

Bet he wishes he left Liam alone last night — but karma chameleon always comes back around.

The “Blade Runner” Murder Case: Freedom For Now

http://www.tabloidprodigy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/LMK-087143-430x684.jpg

Call it blind luck or the fact that the lead investigator indeed messed up with his sketchy actions, but Olympian Oscar Pistorius was granted bail early this morning — and considering his salary, the set price of $112,771 seems rather low for someone charged with killing his girlfriend in a fit of rage on Valentine’s Day.

The disgraced sportsman and members of Reeva Steenkamp’s family were all in the South African courtroom when the ruling came down, which was met with cheers from Pistorius’ family and supporters.

The judge wasn’t worried that the 26-year-old might flee the country — saying that going through any metal detector with his prosthetic legs would set them off, as well as his celebrity status and added that he didn’t believe Oscar would kill again, saying that it wasn’t proven he had a “propensity for violence”.

    Before ruling, the judge asked the prosecutor an interesting question — If Pistorius’ story was that he believed an intruder was in his bathroom, why didn’t he “stage” a break-in to make his story more believable?  The prosecutor conceded, “The fact that we have only one survivor of that tragic night is difficult for the state.”

    The prosecutor argued … proving premeditation doesn’t mean Pistorius had to plan the murder the night before … “He planned it that night when she locked herself in [the bathroom].

Lawyers for the fallen track star are asking for charges to be lowered to “culpable homicide”, which would mean that the shooting of Steenkamp was nothing more than a mistake.

“Suit and Tie” collaborators Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z are indeed going on a tour together this Summer, entitled The Legends of the Stadium Summer Tour. The twosome are set to hit up 12 cities all around North America and Canada, including Toronto, New York and Miami between July 17 and August 18.

Justin himself slightly spilled the beans right before his epic Grammy performance earlier this month.

Tickets are set for sale on February 28, although the NYC dates (which include Yankee Stadium in my hometown of the Bronx) will be set for a later date.

Welcome To The World, Bash!

SebastianBashWiz

Looks like someone is already taking the “doting father” role to heart and it couldn’t be more precious.

Check out a sweet image of rapper Wiz Khalifa holding his newborn son, Sebastian Taylor Thomaz (nicknamed “The Bash”) which was shared by new mother Amber Rose on her Instagram today.

“Best daddy ever…” Amber wrote with the adorable shot. “Up with the baby so Muva can go back to sleep :-) ”

Amber, of course, finally gave birth to her little one yesterday by water birth, which was said to be inspired by talk show host’s Ricki Lake’s documentary, The Business of Being Born.

Once again, congratulations to the new family — and get some rest, Amber!

Clive Davis vs. Kelly Clarkson: Kelly’s Got (Outspoken) Back-Up

HowardSternKelly

Seems like Kelly Clarkson isn’t the only who thinks someone should keep his foot out of his mouth.

Following the fracas caused between her and record exec Clive Davis regarding his hand in her early career, shock jock Howard Stern has stepped to the plate to call out the 80-year-old music legend in his treatment of the American Idol star in his new memoir, The Soundtrack to My Life.

On his radio show Wednesday morning, the America’s Got Talent judge expressed that he found it “sickening when management guys like to set the record straight about how f–king creative and what geniuses they are.”

He backed up Kelly’s longevity in the music industry and attacked Davis’ (alleged) actions regarding her songwriting skills.

“I think she has an amazing voice, and the girl has worked hard to get to where she is,” he offered. “I don’t understand Clive Davis’ motivation for knocking this chick down.”

“And, like, this guy’s trying to diminish what she does”, he continued. “Doesn’t he have enough in life? Can’t he sort of tell his story without f–king degrading her and putting her down?”

Strong words — but he has a point.

The “Blade Runner” Murder Case: I Didn’t Mean It!

Golden League Golden Gala 2007 - Athletic Events

Well, I guess everyone can go home — it was just an accident!

Olympian Oscar Pistorius finally began to have his say in an South African court, expressing that he truly believed that he was shooting at intruder when he killed girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

He claimed (via a statement read by his lawyer) that he only realized it was the model when she wasn’t in his bed following the shooting and only reached for his gun because he felt “vulnerable” without his prosthetic legs attached while he slept.

“It filled me with horror and fear”, he expressed.

However, the prosecution and at this point, everyone else painted him out as wanting “to kill” Steenkamp, taking the time to attach the legs, walk to the bathroom and pump it full of bullets, leaving her bleeding to death.

    He claims he did not have his prosthetic legs on when he fired.  He says he put his legs on, walked to the door and bashed it open with a cricket bat and discovered Steenkamp mortally wounded.  He says he carried her downstairs and “She died in my arms.”

    The prosecutors scoffed, saying Pistorius and Steenkamp had just finished a shouting match when he fired 4 shots into the bathroom, hitting Steenkamp 3 times.

Lawyers also shared images of a timeline for what they believed transpired that early Valentine’s day morning as well as the six weapons that were licensed to him, including 2 Smith & Wessons, three shotguns and an semi-automatic rifle.

Clive Davis Comes Out, Still Lies

Whitney Houston File Photos

It’s interesting that many thought his protege was bisexual.

Legendary record executive Clive Davis is released many secrets of his past in his new memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life.

Of course, there are the obligatory chapters regarding Whitney Houston and how he came to discover her, her many problems and of course, her untimely demise. But what initially shocked the internet today was the revelation that the now 80-year-old has had relationships with men.

    The twice-married executive says he first began to experiment sexually around three decades ago when he was approached by a male music fan at famed New York nightclub Studio 54. “Was I nervous?” writes Davis. “Absolutely. Did the heavens open up? No. But it was satisfying.” In Soundtrack, Davis reveals that he has been in “a strong monogamous relationship” with a man for the last seven years but makes it extremely clear that he regards himself as bisexual rather than gay. “Do I feel I could have been similarly attracted to a woman?” Davis writes. “The answer is yes.”

While that was pretty big news in itself (although rumors of his sexuality have run rampant for years), it was another part of the book that caused another of his former proteges’ to lash out in an open letter on her website.

You can check out who that person is and what they had to say after the jump.

Many remember that Davis and American Idol’s Kelly Clarkson had a bit of a row during her career in it’s early days, most notably regarding her work on her third album, My December, which Davis was said to have hated quite heavily.

In the book, he also touches on their working relationship and how many times they came head-to-head during the early days of her career:

    The record executive discusses his tumultuous working relationship with the Idol winner, which began immediately after her victory. He says things like, “Kelly obviously is very talented and has a big, powerful voice,” and that he helped delay the release of From Justin to Kelly in order to help her debut release, Thankful.

    But he also claims that Clarkson hated “Since U Been Gone” and “Behind These Hazel Eyes” and “really” wanted both songs off her album.

    (The “very tough conversation” was further delayed “when Kelly burst into hysterical sobbing,” Davis writes. “We all just sat there as she cried for several minutes.”)

    “It became a David-and-Goliath battle between an all-powerful music mogul and a solitary young woman fighting bravely for the right to self-expression.”

The extremely outspoken Clarkson went straight for her website and gave her thoughts on the situation, explaining that old age had probably twisted around quite a bit of what actually happened to how he remembered it.

“Not true at all,” she wrote. “His stories and songs are mixed up. I did want more guitars added to the original demo (of “Since You’ve Been Gone”) and Clive did not. Max, Luke and I still fought for the bigger sound and we prevailed and I couldn’t be more proud of the life of that song.”

    But, yes, I did cry in his office once. I cried after I played him a song I had written about my life called “Because Of You.” I cried because he hated it and told me verbatim that I was a “sh*tty writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me.” He continued on about how the song didn’t rhyme and how I should just shut up and sing. This was devastating coming from a man who I, as a young girl, considered a musical hero and was so honored to work with.”

Kelly also managed to throw a little shade, sharing that the song was eventually released as a single and became a “worldwide hit”.

In case anyone was wondering why there was a need for any sort of comeback to his claims at all, the newly engaged singer gave a bit of a life lesson.

“Growing up is awesome because you learn you don’t have to cower to anyone — even Clive Davis.”

Crazy, Sexy, Movie

1995 MTV Video Music Awards

Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls or you might miss this one!

90′s R&B legends TLC are getting the biopic treatment in an upcoming VH1 movie entitled Crazy, Sexy, Cool: The TLC Story and the roles of the girls have already been filled by some interesting names.

KeKe Palmer (“Akeelah and the Bee”) has been chosen to play Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, Drew Sidora (“Step Up”) is going to be filling Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins’ shoes and hip-hop star Lil’ Mama (“Lip Gloss”) is going to be taking on the crazy and sadly, tragic life of the group’s unofficial leader, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.

“We really want fans to experience our story in an authentic way,” Chilli said in a press release for the flick. “There is so much to our story that hasn’t been told until this movie, it really has to be done the right way.”

VH1 has taken on TLC’s story many times in different aspects: they’ve done two Behind The Music episodes on the group, as well as aired The Last Days of Left Eye, a documentary which originally was meant to show Lisa’s time while on a 30-day spiritual retreat in Honduras, but unfortunately captured her death in 2002 by way of a car accident.

The movie is set to begin filming in Atlanta, GA next month.

Welcome Back, Robin!

RobinReturnsGMA

Following a five-month break to properly heal from a bone marrow transplant, anchor Robin Roberts finally returned to the desk of Good Morning America this morning.

“Hi, it’s Robin”, the 52-year-old stated at the start of the show. “And I’ve been waiting 172 days to say this: good morning, America!”

It marked the end of a very hard road for the inspirational reporter, who initially took leave of the morning show to deal with MDS (or myelodysplastic syndrome), a side effect that came from the chemotherapy Roberts underwent to heal from breast cancer, back in 2012 and even more sadly, the loss of her mother only days before she began the life saving treatments.

“Faith, family and friends have brought me to this moment,” she explained, “and I am so full of gratitude.”

She was greeted with a warm welcome from her co-anchors, as well as some very big names, such as President and Michelle Obama, Jennifer Hudson and Oprah Winfrey.

The celebration will probably go on for a while, but Robin is already set for a major interview in the next few days with the First Lady.

“Truly is the dawn of a new day”, she shared on her Twitter.

Indeed it is. Welcome back, Robin.

Check out a small clip of her return after the jump!

Clive vs. Kelly: No, You’re Wrong!

Gordon Parks Foundation Centennial Gala

Seems like the once dead feud is back up and running strong between legendary record exec Clive Davis and singer Kelly Clarkson.

Following the American Idol’s open letter to the 80-year-old regarding the way he described her in his book The Soundtrack of My Life, Davis struck back on Twitter, stating that everything he said in the book was true and that there were numerous independent sources that witnessed Clarkson’s attitude toward his choices on her career and recordings of certain songs for her albums Breakaway and My December.

“As anyone who has read The Soundtrack of My Life knows, I think Kelly Clarkson is a tremendous vocal talent and performer,” he expressed. “In the book, I provide an in-depth look at our years together during which we shared major multi-platinum success, as well as a few creative differences. I am truly very sorry that she has decided to take issue with what I know to be an accurate depiction of our time together.

He went on to say that through “five independent individuals who were present on a daily basis throughout it all”, he was able to properly give his version of what actually went down.

“The chapter [regarding Kelly] as it is written was thoroughly verified by each and every one of them. I stand by the chapter as written in my book. At the same time I wish, and will always wish, Kelly’s talent and her career to soar to ever new heights.”

So, whose side are you on?

The “Blade Runner” Murder Case: Drugs and Downfalls


Golden Gala 2008 - Press Conference - July 10, 2008

Just when you don’t think you can’t get any lower…

New developments continue to arise in the case of Oscar Pistorius, who is being charged with shooting and killing his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp and now, the once-inspirational Olympic competitor is being painted as the new Lance Armstrong with the discovery of needles and testosterone in his South African home.

The 26-year-old’s lawyers claim that the substances found were nothing more than an “herbal remedy”, although earlier reports claimed that the defense might have initially attempted to prove that his actions toward Steenkamp were the effects of “roid rage”, with claims that there were steroids found in his residence. Blood samples from him were said to be tested to see if the performance enhancer played a role in his murderous actions.

Mind you, this is just the bail hearing, which is expected to be announced one way or the other by week’s end.

Won’t You Be My N-Word?

LisaLampanelliLena

Once again, one of the world’s biggest arguments has caused a celebrity to be attacked for her so-called “wrong” usage of it.

Comedian Lisa Lampanelli, who has tagged herself as the “Queen of Mean” was at the center of an attack on Twitter when she posted an image of her with Girls creator and star, Lena Dunham, calling the young star a “n*gga”.

She shared the shot of the two of them at a benefit for the Writers Acting Guild and expressed her excitement with hanging out with the young star.

“Me with my n*gga @LenaDunham of @HBOGirls – I love this beyotch”, the 52-year-old typed.

And of course, people blew a lid over her using it and then went after her via Twitter, calling her “racist” and some not-so-nice other words.

Of course, she took it all in stride and even joked some more about the attention it was bringing her way.

“Gotta go”, she tweeted. “There’s a 6PM show of Django Unchained. Have to go C if it’s racist. LOL.”

“”I have been using these words since I started in comedy”, she said in a sit down with the Huffington Post. “And guess what, people? I won’t stop anytime soon, just because your ass is up on Twitter. I have always used in my act every racial slur there is for Asians, blacks, gays and Hispanics. To me, it’s acceptable if the joke is funny and if it is said in a context of no hate. It’s about taking the hate out of the word.”

“The N-word ending in ‘er’ is far different context from the word ending in ‘a.”, she went on. “Ask any person who knows the urban dictionary, it means ‘friend,’”

Seems like this is one of those arguments in life that just won’t die easily — just ask Michael Richards.

Besides, I think the thing we should be more offended about is someone using “beyotch” in 2013. Really, Lisa?

The Academy Awards? Not Anymore.

movies-seth-macfarlane-oscars-poster__oPt
Well, this is an interesting development.

Everyone patiently awaiting the 85th Annual Academy Awards this coming Sunday won’t be seeing them.

They’ll be seeing The Oscars: as in, that is now the official name of the awards ceremony.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has decided to “re-brand” the annual awards show and have dropped “the 85th Annual Academy Awards” from it’s name.

So, it’s basically the same boring thing with a new name. Alright, we got it.

“We’re not calling it ‘the 85th annual Academy Awards,’ which keeps it mired somewhat in a musty way,” Oscar show co-producer Neil Meron said in an interview. “It’s called ‘The Oscars.’”

But it might just be for this year only — which makes it all the more strange.

“[It's just] right for this show”, revealed Oscars Academy spokeswoman Teni Melidonian. “But we could easily go back to using ‘Academy Awards’ next year.”

So the point exactly is….?

Anyway, along with Adele, some more performers were confirmed to hit the stage for cinema’s biggest night:

    Jennifer Hudson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmaybe, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks and Helena Bonham Carter will honor movie musicals of the last decade Sunday in a live Broadway tribute.

    The musical celebration will highlight Chicago, Dreamgirls and Les Misérables, and all the participating actors have starred in one of the big-screen adaptations.

Dame Shirley Bassey, Norah Jones and Barbara Streisand will appear as well.

The 85th Annual Academy Awards The Oscars will air this coming Sunday on ABC; 8 pm/7 c.

Troubled Country Star’s Life Ends All Too Soon

Mindy McCready and Michael Peterson Perform *EXCLUSIVE PHOTO SHOOT*

The once promising star’s life seemed to spiral at an almost feverish pace. Drugs, rehab stays and a boyfriend who died under odd circumstances almost a month ago were just some of the troubles she faced as the days went on.

A source close to the singer said that she ended her life with a gunshot — as well as that of her dog.

    A source tells E! News that Mindy’s father, Tim McCready had been staying with her until this morning when he returned to Florida. When her father left, “she was in good spirits and seemed to be fine.”

Her actions in the past had caused her to lose custody of her two children and the death of her boyfriend, David Wilson last month at the age of 34 (who also committed suicide with a gunshot blast) seemed to send her over the edge. She was rumored to have been involved with his passing, although she vehemently denied those claims.

“I have never gone through anything this painful,” she said in an interview last month with NBC. “He didn’t just touch my heart, he touched my soul. He was my soulmate.”

In a very tragic twist, she also joins another list — the third person to pass away following their appearance on VH1′s reality show, Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew, all in the same season (Real World alum Joey Kovar and former Alice In Chains bass player, Mike Starr appeared with McCready during the show’s third season).

Her final album, ironically titled I’m Still Here, was released in 2010 and charted significantly lower than her past releases.

No matter the perception of her life, may she now find the peace she obviously tried so desperately to find.

The “Blade Runner” Murder Case: More Clues

"Alex Cross" Los Angeles Premiere - Arrivals

The investigation into the tragic death of model Reeva Steenkamp by once inspirational Olympic participant Oscar Pistorius seems to uncover more and more by the moment just how dark those final moments of her life actually may have been.

A cricket bat covered with blood is now said to be at the center of the discovery as to what actually went on early Valentine’s Day in Pistorius’ home, although police are unsure if the bat was used to protect herself from Oscar or to break down the door of the bathroom which she attempted to hide in.

    The City Press, a paper in South Africa, says that Steenkamp’s skull was crushed in addition to the gunshot wounds. The City Press quotes a source as saying, “There was lots of blood on the bat. Forensic tests will show whose blood it was.”

It’s also been said that he may have shot through the bathroom door to get to her and then carried her downstairs in an attempt to resuscitate her.

Also, his first call was allegedly not to police, but to a close friend whom he admitted to that he had shot the young woman.

The Biebs Tries To Change His Image — With New Images

JBInstagram

Someone’s trying to do some PR clean-up… and even I have to admit this is sort of cute.
Since a lot of people are seeing Justin Bieber under lights he probably never wanted them to, the 18-year-old decided to attempt to show his softer side — which a very sweet image of him putting his little brother, Jaxon to bed via his Instagram, with a very loving kiss to the toddler’s forehead.

“Put my bro to sleep (with a chokehold) last night, JK he fell asleep in my arms but sometimes big bros gotta put their Lil bros in headlocks”.

He also shared a shot of him vacationing with his family, adding that he “needed” the down time.
Actually, the down time seems to be what keeps him in trouble, so maybe it’s best that he keeps busy — and stays away from picture sharing.

Well, there’s always an upside, right?

Even though the fate of her NBC series Up All Night still hangs in the balance, actress and former Saturday Night Live fave Maya Rudolph has a reason to smile: she’s reportedly pregnant with her fourth child!

Maya apparently told the network that she was currently carrying the next in her brood with husband, Paul Thomas Anderson.

The couple already are proud parents to Pearl, 7, Lucille, 3, and Jack, 19 months.

She, however, may not have a job to go back to following a maternity leave: the series is apparently set to end after attempting (and failing) to “reboot” the show and co-star (and lead of the show), Christina Applegate, deciding she didn’t like the direction it was going in.

An Ignored Voice

JoJoInstagram

Back in the early 2000′s, a young singer by the name of JoJo blew the minds of music lovers everywhere with her amazing and powerful voice that somehow packed into the body of a 13 year old.

She had a couple of great singles under her belt over the next few years (such as “Leave (Get Out)”, “Baby It’s You” and “Too Little, Too Late”), but was never pushed as far as her fellow pop contemporaries and the recording of her third album went through massive changes before being shelved three times.

What many don’t realize is that the amazing performer, born Joanna Levesque, is now 22 years old and has continuously released some of the most amazing songs that you’re probably not even listening to.

Check out the track “Andre” from her second mixtape Agápē (the Greek word for “unconditional love” — as well as the name of her puppy), which was released back in December.

The smooth groove of a song was inspired by one of music’s most understated, yet amazing talents: Outkast’s own Andre 3000.

“Andre’s style is something that I love”, the young beauty said in a recent interview. “I just think the sexiest thing is when a man is himself and does his own thing, and there’s a really great example of that in André Benjamin.”

Don’t worry, y’all; it’s not like she’s dating the guy — but there’s nothing wrong with using someone like that for inspiration.

Check out a live version of “Andre” after the jump. If you’re interested, you can download Agápē for free (yes, it’s a free legal download) here.

Mother Monster’s “Ball” Comes To Abrupt End

2011 MTV Europe Music Awards - Arrivals

Things are a lot more serious than Lady GaGa hoped they were. What was hoped to be nothing more than a couple of days off from her Born This Way Ball due to inflamed joints has now proven to be serious enough to cancel the rest of the dates to the tour, effective immediately.

A post was sent out on GaGa’s fan page, LitteMonsters.com, explaining that the 26-year-old would need surgery for a “labral tear of the right hip caused by strenuous repetitive movements in her performances”, which would send her under the knife to correct and includes loads of “downtime to recover”.

“This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour, so she can heal” reads the rest of the statement. “Refunds for the cancelled performances will be available at point of purchase starting Feb 14, 2013″.

The tour began in April of last year.

Very sad circumstance, but with her severe schedule she’s seemingly put on herself, it’s not surprising. Nonetheless, we wish her a speedy and safe recovery.

We Get It, Kesha: You’re Gross.

Some celebs seriously need a censor, if only to make sure they don’t induce vomiting from an unsuspecting public.

Pop star Ke$ha, who has had a habit of saying certain things you wish she wouldn’t, allowed cameras to follow her around for an upcoming MTV documentary (how many people are doing this now?) entitled My Crazy Beautiful Life and showed just how crazy she is — by admitting that she drank her own urine during the filming.

Her brother, who shot the doc, caught the thirsty moment for the cameras, which she openly admitted to during an interview to BBC 1.

“He got all the things you would want to see and all the things you wouldn’t really want to see”, she explained. “Making out with dudes, drinking my own pee, jumping out of a building, jumping out of aeroplanes, swimming with sharks …”

Whoa, whoa… you jumped out of an aeroplane?

Oh, yeah — that pee thing.

“I was told drinking my own pee was good … Somebody tried to take my pee away from me and I said, ‘That is mine!’ So I snatched it up and took a chug and it was really gross so I don’t do it anymore.”

Um… I really have nothing to add.

Kim and Kanye Are Flight Risks

Kim Kardashian Rings in the New Year at 1Oak Nightclub in Las Vegas on December 31, 2012

And here comes your daily “celebrities are better than the rest of us” story.

While you were probably waiting at JFK airport yesterday for way too long just to get to the holding area, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian got some preferential treatment that they’re not even being blamed for, even though they went along with it.

The soon-t0-be-parents were coming off of a flight from Brazil to connect to one to Los Angeles at the NYC airport, where they met up with an airline greeter allowed them to pass through a “key security point” to get to their next flight as quickly as possible.

When TSA found out what happened, the two were pulled from the plane immediately — which caused the flight to be delayed for another hour — and they were properly screened before being allowed to board once more.

“… the airline employee violated security protocols by permitting the travelers to by-pass the TSA security checkpoint”, came a statement from the terminal. “TSA officials learned of the violation and conducted a private screening of the two passengers in the area of the jetway.”

American Airlines called the entire thing “a lapse in judgement” and said 50 minutes of the delay came from other “bags [that] were delayed [in] getting to the airport.”

Sure, it did.
