Another success for Carey Mulligan. The 25-year-old British actress received the role of Daisy Buchanan in director Baz Luhrman's upcoming adaptation of 'The Great Gatsby', F. Scott Fitzergerald's literary masterpiece.
Both Sarah Palin's daughters are very temperamental. Bristol's 16-year-old sister Willow Palin used several homophobic words (including the word f**got ) to attack a Facebook user who criticized her mother.
The answer to the question "Will Sarah Palin run for the presidency in 2012?" is "Yes, she might run!" The only condition would be for her daughter Bristol to win 'Dancing With The Stars' contest.

Katy Perry didn't host the MTV Europe Music Awards this year as she did the previous two years, but the singer did leave an indelible impression on the event. This year's host, Eva Longoria, asked Katy for some tips to "get the crowd pumped up." "Well, last year I changed like 12 times, so I think another costume change will do," said the pop star, while tearing off particles of Eva's outfit. The newlywed stepped out with hubby Russell Brand for their first public appearance at Sunday's event in Madrid, Spain, and Russell applauded his new bride as she accepted the Best Video award for her song "California Gurls" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Te quiero Madrid," said Katy. "I really want to thank you guys because I was just on stage performing to you and you are the best [expletive] crowd in Europe." Katy performed the hit single "Firework" from her album Teenage Dream in stores now.[Read full story on The Insider]
Royal watchers are predicting that there's an impending engagement between Prince William and longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton. Strong hints suggest the couple may be preparing a walk down the aisle: "Good Morning America" reports that caterers have submitted bids and menus. The report made a point to say that Kate's mother is on a diet and that she has hired a public relations adviser. Kate and Prince William recently attended a wedding together -- an appearance that intensified speculation that they too would soon be married. Perhaps most telling is a recent hunting trip in which Kate's parents joined the prince at the royal estate of Balmoral, the Queen's Scottish estate. UK publication The Mail says the invitation would have to be approved by Prince Charles -- a symbolic welcome to the family. "That they should be guests at a shooting party should not be underestimated," a source told the newspaper. "This is the Middletons being taught to be able to join the royals at play."[Read full story on The Insider]
Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina stopped by NBC's "Today" to chat with Matt Lauer about her daughter's progress in rehab. "The Betty Ford center is an amazing place," Dina told Matt Monday morning. Dina claimed that the rehab facility had changed her daughter, citing Lindsay's new, more relaxed attitude. "I thank God that [the judge] didn't incarcerate her because that wouldn't have helped her," said Dina. The mother of four even leaked that Lindsay wants to start her own rehab facility to help other young people. The last time Dina visited the show in August, the talent manager came off defensive to some, seeming unable to admit whether or not Lindsay was an addict. On Monday Dina explained that she is comfortable admitting that her daughter is an addict now that Lindsay has confessed to having a problem. In October, Lindsay was ordered back to rehab until early January for failing a drug test, thereby avoiding more jail time. Her next court date is February 25.[Read full story on The Insider]

Dina Lohan sat down with her nemesis (one of many), Matt Lauer. Dina was on the Today Show this morning, all to talk about her crackhead daughter and the alleged recovery. Before Lauer even began the interrogation of Dina, they put out a rather (justly) harsh recap of the events thus far, with some of Dina’s crack lies, and many of Lindsay Lohan’s crack lies, including the little fact that Lindsay was pleading poverty, yet she can afford to go on shopping excursions on rehab breaks. Here’s the video: Some of the highlights, courtesy of USA Today and my own transcription: Dina says she spent “two weeks” at the Betty Ford Clinic, talking with other families who have experienced a family member with addiction issues. Dina also says that the Clinic was helping families deal with “the codependency”. Smart. Next up should be “the enabling.” Dina on Lindsay’s “state of mind”: “Happy. Relaxed… She’s just a different person. The Betty Ford Center is just an amazing place,” she added, calling it “life-changing” for Lindsay. “She’s been in a couple of facilities, but this one, to me, has really changed her. They get into your psyche and bring the problem to the surface.” Dina also says that it’s a big deal for Lindsay to have Twittered that she has a problem, and Dina says something about how she hopes “it will help other families.” Mother Crackhead is a role model, y’all. Dina on whether Lindsay recognizes she’s an addict: “YES. And this teaches you that you are. And she’s young, and I thank God that he didn’t incarcerate her, because that wouldn’t have helped her. And being so young and admitting that, it can only help her sobriety in the future.” Dina on whether she could admit her daughter is an addict: “Yes. When I first came her initially, you know, that was for Lindsay to admit… I put her in rehab when she was 19… It wasn’t for me, as a mother, to come to the world and - I mean, how many viewers do you have? - about her problem, that was for her do. I wasn’t in denial by far, but I think it was for her to come to her own evolution.” Dina on whether this rehab stay will stick: “We’ll take it one day at a time. I don’t have a crystal ball. I pray hard and she wants to start her own facilities, help other children. She’s so public, we can only be positive and look to the future to help other families.” Something tells me that if Dina did have a crystal ball, she would smoke that rock like it was going out of style. Lohan is due to stay in rehab - she’s out of the center and “in a home,” said her mom - until Jan. 3. Lauer pointed out that last time Lindsay got out early. Might that happen again? “Lindsay wants to stay,” said Dina. “She’s learning the trigger points and why she turns to something - drugs or addiciton.” *** Does anyone else just roll their eyes at this? Dina is such a f-cked up person, and she contradicts herself constantly. If Dina really felt like Lindsay had all these problems (and Dina was just protecting her addict daughter), then why allow Ali to basically live with her crackhead older sister? Why all the delusional denials? Why all the crack lies? It wasn’t to protect Lindsay’s image, or to make Lindsay come to some kind of crack epiphany - it was so Dina was protecting her own ass, just like she’s doing now.
Lindsay Lohan left rehab for the second time in under a week and was spotted at a bookstore and movie theater with two other women. The last time Lindsay was let out she went shopping a dropped a couple of hundred bucks at a Forever 21 store. She was also said to be seen regularly at a local Starbucks despite the fact that caffeine is banned at her facility, the Betty Ford Center. This if course begs the question of whether Lindsay is being given special privileges in rehab, where she’s been ordered to stay until January in lieu of jail. Lindsay is likely aware that it looks bad that she’s skirting around regulations. TMZ reports that she left the theater early once she was noticed. So how many other times has she ventured out of rehab and not been spotted? Meanwhile, Lindsay’s dad is said to have reunited with her at rehab for the first time in months. The last time we heard from Michael Lohan he was holding a press conference to announce that he would no longer be talking to the press. He did of course, though, and granted an exclusive to Radar Online in which he gave details off the record of his reunion with Lindsay. Lindsay and Michael hugged and cried and talked for a few hours, after which they went shopping at a local mall. This was on Saturday, the same day that Lindsay was spotted out at the mall and the movies. So she could have started out shopping with her dad that day and capped it off with more shopping and a trip to the movies. Lindsay Lohan has reunited with her estranged father Michael at the Californian rehabilitation clinic where she is receiving treatment for drug addiction, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. “It was an emotional reunion… there were hugs, kisses and even a few tears when Michael and Lindsay first saw each other,” a source with knowledge of the meeting revealed to RadarOnline.com. It is a stunning and dramatic turnaround for the 24-year-old Hollywood wild child, who has perpetually blamed her one-time drug addict dad for her problems. The pair met soon after 1pm on Sunday at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, we’re told. “Lindsay met Michael at Betty Ford and the pair spent hours together… it was not a fleeting encounter, this appeared well-planned in advance,” the source said. “They also went shopping at a local Palm Desert mall, where they were seen walking around together and at one point, were in a jewelry store.” When RadarOnline.com contacted the Lohan patriarch for comment about the encounter, the 50-year-old dad-of-four remained tight-lipped: “I have pledged not to comment about anything relating to my daughter. “However, what I will say is that I am an incredibly proud father tonight. My daughter is progressing extraordinarily well.” A source close to the actress told RadarOnline.com that her father’s visit was at her invitation, while her mom, Dina, was back in New York preparing to appear on NBC’s Today Show. “Michael turned up at Betty Ford with some gifts and items for Lindsay,” said the source. [From Radar Online] Michael also told Radar that he is willing to go to therapy with Lindsay, after which I’m sure he’ll leak details to whichever outlet will pay the most for his daughter’s personal information. Lindsay’s mom Dina is going to be on The Today Show this morning. I can’t wait to see how botoxed and in denial she comes across this time.
Would you like to know how HARDCORE Raccoon McPantless is? She’s so HARDCORE that she will wear a pushup bra and not even button her shirt the correct way. Take that, SOCIETY. These are photos from the European MTV VMAs, where Taylor Momsen and her band, The Pretty Reckless, made an appearance. A spectacular pantless appearance. I just feel for the middle-aged men in this band, I really do. Their lives must suck so hard, putting up with Pantless day in and day out. Here are a couple more photos of Raccoon giving the finger to “The Man”. She’s still 17 years old, by the way. Other photos from the MTV thing… Rihanna wearing a parade float, Katy Perry looking like hell during her performance, and Miley Cyrus on and off the stage. She wore some kind of Gone With the Wind getup for the red carpet (we get it, you’re Southern), and then another vadge-tastic leotard for the performance. Sigh…I fear for the future. Photos courtesy of WENN.
Kristen Stewart and Sparkles Pattinson are in Brazil RIGHT NOW. Hurry down there, Twihards! They’re filming scenes for Breaking Dawn, and according to the photo agencies, not only are K-Stew and Sparkles staying at the same Rio de Janeiro hotel, they’re staying in the same hotel room. Apparently, when they aren’t filming, they just stay in their room (and get high, probably). Anyway, they were wandering around Rio yesterday, filming scenes, and paparazzi “caught” them kissing - for the film. Note Sparkles’ makeup. He looks deathly, that’s how you can tell he’s in character. Still, I’m sure the Twihards will be happy today. Their lovers have been spotted, and all is well with the universe. I have a Sparkles side note, though: over the weekend, I decided I needed a laugh, so I rented Remember Me. Ugh… I remember when that film was being promoted, and everyone was saying that Sparkles was, like, the next James Dean, and that his performance was supposed to show that he had range outside of the “Sparkly Vampire” typecasting. Can I just say something? Sparkles isn’t a very good actor. At all. Yes, the material for Remember Me sucked, but he made it suck even harder. The chemistry between Sparkles and Emilie de Raven was non-existent, their “romantic” scenes were hysterical for their awkwardness, and Sparkles really, really, REALLY needs to stop with the pursed lip, “I’m so angsty” posing. The only good part was Pierce Brosnan, who seemed to take the role of The Sparkle Father as some kind of excuse to delightfully chew the scenery. My verdict: I hope Sparkles is saving his money, because at this point, I don’t see him having a long career beyond the franchise. Photos courtesy of Fame.
In addition to the European MTV Awards, last night was also the big premiere of Morning Glory, the film everybody’s mom wants to see. Personally, I’ve already had to promise my mom that I’d take her to see it, and I doubt I’m the only one. It’s going to be epic - Harrison Ford as a curmudgeon, Canada’s Sweetheart Rachel McAdams, and Diane Keaton doing her silly best. Now, while I think the trailer looks good, I don’t really get how this film is being promoted. If I was in charge (if, if, if), I would be putting the emphasis on Rachel as the Everywoman, the next Julia Roberts/Reese Witherspoon type who can carry a rom-com on her own. I’d also add a dash of Oscar nomination “rumors” for Harrison, because he looks really interesting in this. What I would not do is encourage my leading lady, Rachel, to dress up like some kind of twitchy blonde bombshell. This premiere dress (Lanvin) and styling reeks of “trying too hard” and it makes me not like her. Plus, I just don’t care for her as a blonde. Harrison looked like hell too. I know he’s Old and everything, but the hair and the earring… God, Harrison. Just slick back your hair and be the elder statesman that you are. Diane looked cute though: Photos courtesy of WENN & Fame.

Recovering from septicemia Lily Allen was hit with double blows this season: after she had a miscarriage 6 months along, she was taken to the emergency room for a potentially fatal blood-poisoning case. Is this the end of Lily's troubles? It sounds like, at the very least, she is getting better.
Big plans? I keep imaging Miley Cyrus' birthday will be a huge spectacle. She'll be doing tons of partying in a super scandalous outfit, right? Well, no. Miley is claiming she just wants to be with her family on her big day. Could she be trying to bring mom and dad back together?
She's "responding well" to treatment. Lily Allen is back in the hospital. The singer, who recently suffered a miscarriage, was rushed to the emergency room Friday night with septicaemia, a potentially fatal blood-poisoning condition.
No surprises! It looks like Europeans have the same taste in music that we do here in the United States. In fact their MTV music awards show could have easily been confused with ours. The big winners? Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, of course!

Lindsay Lohanwas just sent to jail for a month and is going through the hardest time of her life. The one guy you'd expect to be upset is her dad. However in a truly bizarre mish mash of pointless ranting, dadMichael Lohandecided to address the media swarm with a tirade of nonsense about none other than himself.Refusing to talk about Lindsay, he used the gathering of journalists as an opportunity to bad mouth his ex wifeDinaand among many lines said: "I've done what I wanted".He then introduced a minister who shouted angrily about stuff too. The already uninformative "conference" then collapsed into a re-show of Dudley Moore's filmCrazy Peopleas a man was led off in the background by police after shouting. "She's not Mel Gibson" about 20 times next to Michael's microphone.
Is Lindsay Lohan headed back to rehab?The troubled star was sent back to prison on Friday, September 25th for failing two court-ordered drug tests but was released later that day after posting her three hundred thousand dollar bail. It's now thought Lindsay will voluntarily check herself into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility and according to friends, she's finally ready to deal with her addictions. No word yet on which facility she'll choose but sources close to the Lohan family think she'll end up somewhere outside of the Los Angeles area.
In Last Night, Sam Worthington takes a break from no-risk action franchises to play the nice-looking husband of the nice-looking Keira Knightley. One fateful evening these two nice-looking, not-so-happy people are faced with temptation in the form of the nice-looking Eva Mendes, Worthington's co-worker, and the nice-looking Guillaume Canet, Knightley's old boyfriend. Will the nice-looking couple succumb to the nice-looking single people, or can they all make it to sunrise unadulterously? Will the played out “one night, but only one night, can change your life” format preclude you from caring? At least if you close your eyes — you won't be missing anything, there's no smooching — you can listen to four different English accents (British, Australian, American, French) harmonize soothingly.

Well, that was fast! The first movie about the Chilean miners, Antonio Recio's The 33 of San Jose, is completed and looking for distribution. The movie started filming just five days after the miners were safely rescued. It stars 32 Chileans and a Bolivian, was shot in part on location near where the miners were trapped, and will use real news footage. All those people hard at work on similar projects, take heart: First doesn't necessarily mean best ... but maybe think about hurrying up?

After last week's inferno, a note of restored calm: This week the series takes a moment to pause, reset, and reload. No sniper shots, no slashed faces, no hotel-lobby ambushes: Just another hint at Van Alden's tortured psyche, a trashed political career, and a reunion between Nucky and his prodigal apprentice, the well-haberdashered Jimmy Darmody. While Nucky's off in Chicago for the Republican Convention, Eli mans the desk back home. Though mans might be the wrong verb. His few visitors include a "fellow who got off on the wrong floor." Still, Eli harbors dreams of running Atlantic City, backslapping and glad-handing, Nucky-style. "I'll buy a nickel joke book down the five and dime, I'll be the toast of the town myself." Of course, later we get a glimpse at just how crafty Nucky really is and how expertly he wields his power — as skilled at backstabbing as he is at backslapping. First, though, we see Nucky the smooth operator, who explains to the hotel concierge the difference between him and General Wood, the current occupant of the Presidential Suite. "He is a war hero, former Army chief of staff, and practically a shoo-in for the Republican presidential nomination. I, on the other hand, am a magnificent tipper." He peels off a few bills — the solution to his every problem, it seems — and is promptly handed the suite for himself. Later, the smug Senator Edge sends Nucky off on an errand, to act as emissary to Harry Daugherty, campaign manager to ostensible also-ran Warren Harding. (SPOILER ALERT: Harding becomes president. SPOILER ALERT: Harding also died in office of a heart attack, as per the fortune teller's warning.) Here we see Nucky as willing subservient — only later do we realize that he's pulling all the strings. ANOTHER SPOILER ALERT: Lucy Danzinger is kind of a bee-yotch. Especially when she's drunk. Those who find this character annoying will like her even less when she slurs her words. She also slurs Mrs. Schroeder — "Is that Irish for bitch?" — which is a bad idea, as Margaret slaps her loudly across the chops, then says, "Next time won't be nearly as pleasant." Next time, Lucy better come back with a shotgun, because she's not really armed for these little wars of words. Meanwhile, Jimmy's weirdly Oedipal mom, Gillian, stops in on his secretly Sapphic wife, Angela. By the end of their exchange, in which she mocks Angela for, among other things, smelling bad and going "au naturel," we wondered if maybe Gillian was intercepting and hiding Jimmy's money, sent weekly back home. Nope! It's Van Alden, of course, the back-whipping, ribbon-sniffing rascal. He's been stashing Jimmy's letters in a drawer at the post office. Van Alden has problems of his own at home, as his wife can't get pregnant due to an obstruction in her tubes. She wants surgery; he wants to trust God's plan. Also, the tulips are looking a little ragged. In New York, Rothstein has a powwow with his lawyer over this lingering fixing-the-World-Series thing. SPOILER ALERT: The 1919 World Series was in fact fixed! Meanwhile, Eli and the gang watch some vintage porn on a hand-cranked projector. This scene establishes three things: 1) There was fairly dirty porn in 1920; 2) Eli's going to do the money pickup at the casino; and 3) Eli, despite lacking Nucky's glad-handing proficiencies, has an easy rapport with the boys; maybe this will factor in later? During some sort of Eli-led coup? Nucky runs into Jimmy at Torrio's and chides him for his fancy duds. Eli heads to the casino and gets shot in the gut. It's that damned gang of Italian guys named for popes, now in Rothstein's employ! They also lynched Chalky's employee. Basically, they are giving every person in New Jersey good reason to rend them limb from limb. This is not going to end well for them, we thinks. Nucky gets the call that Eli's been shot, so naturally he telephones Margaret, and sends her to his office to hide his secret ledger. The dread ledger! If you've seen The Untouchables, you know that ledgers can be very damaging. Nucky then enlists Jimmy and his new buddy Richard Harrow (recurring character! Yay!) to come back to Atlantic City and act as Nucky's muscle. Then Nucky's got one last piece of business before he leaves Chicago: Royally screwing smarmy Senator Edge, great-grandfather to the famed U2 guitarist. (Kidding!) Nucky makes a deal with Harry Daugherty to squeeze Edge out of the vice presidency. This is long-simmering payback for that damned road-money fiasco involving Frank Haig. Clearly, not every gangster exacts revenge with a gun or a switchblade. Nucky's vengeance is much colder and more devastating, as he tells Edge, the only way he'll see the White House is "on a guided fucking tour." Ka. Boom. Van Alden has a moment of weakness, gathering all the cash from Jimmy's letters, and sending it to his wife? For her operation? Nope. To Angela, who gets a windfall and a reprieve from selling perfume door to door. Van Alden's wife, instead, gets a letter telling her "to trust in God's plan." As for Nucky's plan, Margaret sits in his office, considering the Dread Ledger. As carnival music wafts in from the boardwalk behind her, she finally decides to open the book — and is faced with hard evidence of who Nucky really is. She is Eve, and this is her Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil moment: Once she's taken the bite, she can't go back.

It's here! In "Breaking News," the first single from his upcoming posthumous album, he sings about himself in the third person. The first words, after a 40-some-second blur of chatter that sounds like audio skeleton of a music video starring a bunch of news anchors, are as follows: "Everybody wantin' a piece of Michael Jackson/Reporters stalking the moves of Michael Jackson/Just when you thought he was done/He comes to give it again."

It was quite a week on Planet Pop! Lil Wayne was finally released from Rikers Island after serving eight months in the prison, Ke$ha pushed the boundaries of taste with the title track off her upcoming mini album, Amy Winehouse and T-Pain offered up their totally different takes on two Quincy Jones classics, Pink raised a glass in her new music video and Rihanna and Eminem served up their sequel to “Love The Way You Lie.” See how our readers reacted too all this music mayhem after the jump! :: Lisa refused to take a bite out of Ke$ha’s Sickening “Cannibal” Gives It Up For Jeffrey Dahmer: “Foreign countries don’t need to examine our political system and our politicians to believe we’re a nation of fools, they just need to listen to Top 40 radio and the ‘artists’ this country’s radio and music industry push on an unsuspecting public. I can’t believe this crap is popular. I can’t believe more listeners aren’t trying to demand better than this.” :: Brimeon, however, offered another viewpoint to chew on: “Even though Ke$ha is trashy, she’s still one of the best lyricists in the game right now. There’s a certain point where you realize her being trashy is actually artistic genius. She’s come up with some of the most clever lyrics I’ve ever heard in music, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind.” :: The Prophet Blog took personal offense to the Ke$ha hateration: “Way too much Ke$ha hate on this site! Hate on somebody who deserves it like GaGa or BeYawnce. God$ha AKA Ke$hus Chri$t is here to stay!” :: Charles wished some things—or someone—had remained unwritten on Natasha Bedingfield Shows Her True Colors In Her Uplifting “Strip Me” Video: “A ’slight’ Jordin Sparks vibe ? It’s the exact the same two-part chorus ! Love ‘Battlefield’, and love Natasha, but seriously, this is sub-par and I wish she hadn’t asked Ryan Tedder for help.” :: Brandon Hall thought better could have been done on Ricky Martin Joined By Joss Stone On New Single “The Best Thing About Me Is You”: “The best thing about this mediocre song is Joss Stone whom I love, the song overall is easily forgettable and at certain parts I thought the song was going to break into a verse from Taio Cruz ‘Break Your Heart’.” :: Lyn gave a toast on Pink Wants You To “Raise A Glass” For The Underdogs In Her New Video: “I think that what she wants to say with the cow part is that not only humans can be underdogs but also animals. It’s a statement against animal cruelty. So instead of cows feeding us with their milk she feeds the cows with our milk;) LOVE THE CLIP!” :: Z took advantage of the option to cry if he wants to on Amy Winehouse Records A Classic While T-Pain Ruins One: “I normally love Amy Winehouse, and I love that song…but it bordered on horrible for me. There were moments of brilliance in the recording, but most fell far short for me. On the other hand, I adored the T-Pain and Robin Thicke collab. I think autotune is overused but it fit perfect with this song.” ::Maria found double the pleasure on Rihanna And Eminem Continue The Story On “Love The Way You Lie (Part II)”: “I didnt think i would like the sequel, but i really LOVE it! As you said,the two parts compliment one another and complete the story. And Eminem’s verse on that one is really emotional, awesome!” :: And finally, Alyssa celebrated on Lil Wayne Released From Jail: “yess waynes out go home baby”
It turns out that Rihanna’s new “Love The Way You Lie (Part II)” isn’t the only track where she appears to relive (and perhaps exorcise) the painful memories of her troubled relationship with Chris Brown. New ballad “Complicated” finds the mostly cheery singer locked in a difficult partnership with a lover she can’t seem to leave. In theory, she could be singing about anyone. But take one listen to this song — in which Rihanna stretches her voice to the outer limits of its register — and it’s clear this one is personal. Hear it below. Rihanna - Complicated The only quibble we have with this song is that — as with “Firework” by Ri-Ri’s friend Katy Perry — we have to wonder if she can carry this off live. This is certainly not the kind uptempo dance music that fans sometimes seem to demand of Rihanna (though it does seem ripe for remixing). But it’s a terrific example of what she can do when she digs deep. Her vocals sound clear and strong, aided by the minimalist electronic production (which we’re guessing comes courtesy of Stargate). Is this the kind of song you hoped she would tackle on Loud?
Hot on the heels of her racy limo ride in the “Who Owns My Heart” video, Miley Cyrus appeared in Germany yesterday to promote her album Can’t Be Tamed on TV show Wetten Dass. True to her sex-kittenish turn in the video, Miley seemed more determined than ever to prove that she can’t be clothed, either. Take a peep at Miley singing “Who Owns My Heart” (and bidding auf wiedersehen to pants) below. The Disney-star-turned-late-night-party-girl was clad in a sheer white robe over what appears to be…a very short dress? A onesie? Whatever she’s wearing is so minuscule, we can’t really be certain. Writhing around on the floor looking like a promiscuous angel, Miley seemed intent on testing the theory that Europeans aren’t as prudish as Americans, delivering an energetic and engaging performance of the single on her promo tour leading up to the MTV Europe Music Awards. We’re all for Miley transitioning to more grown-up fare (and a more grownup look to boot), but this appearance had us less curious about who owns her heart than who owns some pants she could borrow. Maybe Mom Trish was too busy with her working relationship to okay the outfit? [Via Prophet]
The Gregory Brothers—the team behind this year’s surprise hit, “The Bed Intruder Song”—finally got their hands on the latest LOLworthy news item: Jimmy McMillan’s rant from the New York Gubernatorial debate. A few weeks back, McMillan, a self-proclaimed karate expert and founder of the Rent Is Too Damn High party, gave a slew of nonsensical non sequiturs during the televised debate that were just ripe for the auto-tune picking. So put on your black gloves and paste on some grey mutton chops and give “Rent: Too Damn High Song” a listen. If only this song had debuted before Tuesday’s election, McMillan may have stood a chance at Governor. How do you think this auto-tuned tune stacks up against “The Bed Intruder Song”? Tell us below.
Alright, Michael Jackson fans—we need you to step up and verify whether or not this is actually the real King Of Pop’s voice on “new” (read: unreleased track that originally went into production three years ago) MJ tune “Breaking News.” Because our ears, which grew up with Michael’s music constantly playing somewhere or other in the background, are having major doubts. Listen below. Sony unveiled “Breaking News” today as the first preview off forthcoming posthumous Jackson album Michael (due out December 14). And indeed, there is plenty of skepticism revolving around the fact that is supposed to be The Gloved One’s actual voice (imagine that?) on the track. Hear for yourself: Michael Jackson - Breaking News UK paper the Guardian is reporting that Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson, is claiming that several songs on the upcoming Michael LP are fake. Katherine and other Jackson family members are set to be interviewed today on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Says the Guardian: “The songs in question were apparently recorded in 2007, while Michael was living in New Jersey with his friends the Cascio family. ‘[Katherine] says the Cascios have added some things and given the Sony corporation false tracks,’ reporter Diane Dimond said. Jackson’s father, Joseph, and his children, Paris and Prince, also claim it is not always Michael’s singing voice.” Either way, “Breaking News” is kind of a breaking snooze, and you can hear why this song remained unreleased all this time, even with the additional glossy production cleanup that likely went on following Jackson’s death. Guess we’ll wait and see if Oprah gets the scoop as to which songs are allegedly not the real deal. And until then, we’ll have Michael’s Dangerous single “Who Is It” playing on repeat .
The day that Michael Jackson fans have been waiting for has finally come … today, a BRAND NEW single from the late King of Pop titled Breaking News has been made available to fans all around the world. But, the single’s release does not come without its fair share of controversy … as you might expect from anything Michael Jackson-related. The Jackson family does NOT believe that this new track released by Sony Music is a genuine MJ song. They insist that the vocals on the song are not of Michael Jackson. In an effort to bolster their claim, Katherine Jackson and her business partner Howard Mann released a song titled Opis None as a genuine MJ song in retaliation. The only problem is that their song isn’t the genuine article at all. Mann released a statement admitting that the song Opis None is NOT a new MJ track but is, in fact, an extended remix of an old MJ song titled Destiny. Whoops! Undaunted, Sony Music released Breaking News on MichaelJackson.com at midnight last night … here is our first look at the single cover artwork: Naturally, Sony will NOT let the song be streamed on any site but their own … so you’ll have to click HERE to listen to Breaking News in full. I’m not familair with the more recent MJ music so I can’t really tell if the vocals sounds like his or not. The song deffo has a Michael Jackson feel to it but, well, you be the judge — is it really Michael Jackson singing or not? I will say I have much more confidence in Sony Music and their vocal experts than I do in the Jackson family and their leechy business partners. If Sony says that this song and the others to be released on the new album Michael next month, then I believe them. Do you? [Source]
Lindsay Lohan, who is currently rehabbing at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, CA for the rest of the year (that is, when she’s not out shopping with friends), finally deigned to meet with her estranged father Michael Lohan (who currently has a warrant out for his arrest) this weekend. Father and daughter have not seen one another up-close and personal for 7 months … but this weekend, they were joyfully reunited at last: Lindsay Lohan has reunited with her estranged father Michael at the Californian rehabilitation clinic where she is receiving treatment for drug addiction, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. “It was an emotional reunion… there were hugs, kisses and even a few tears when Michael and Lindsay first saw each other,” a source with knowledge of the meeting revealed to RadarOnline.com. It is a stunning and dramatic turnaround for the 24-year-old Hollywood wild child, who has perpetually blamed her one-time drug addict dad for her problems. The pair met soon after 1pm on Sunday at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, we’re told. “Lindsay met Michael at Betty Ford and the pair spent hours together… it was not a fleeting encounter, this appeared well-planned in advance,” the source said. “They also went shopping at a local Palm Desert mall, where they were seen walking around together and at one point, were in a jewelry store.” When RadarOnline.com contacted the Lohan patriarch for comment about the encounter, the 50-year-old dad-of-four remained tight-lipped: “I have pledged not to comment about anything relating to my daughter. However, what I will say is that I am an incredibly proud father tonight. My daughter is progressing extraordinarily well.” It is being reported that the meeting came about by Lindsay‘s request … which is a bit surprising considering how angry she has been with Daddy Lohan for the past few years. You may recall that Lindsay admitted that she blames her father for most of her problems. Still, I guess it’s encouraging that she is willing to forgive her father enough to spend time with him … even if he is THE worst father in the world. Ugh. Even when there’s reasonably positive Lohan news to share, it’s still pretty smarmy. Will this reunion open up a new chapter in the relationship between father and daughter? I guess we’ll have to wait and see. What do y’all think? Is this reunion a good thing or a bad thing? [Source]
Twilight co-stars and rumored lovebirds Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have made their way to Brazil to film new scenes for the upcoming sequel film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. Those of you familiar with the books know that vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson) and human-turned-vampire Bella Swan (Stewart) get married and go on their honeymoon in Breaking Dawn. It looks like R. Pattz and K. Stew are in Brazil to film those honeymoon scenes … which, if memory serves, will include a fairly racy sex scene: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart arrived in Rio yesterday to continue filming the final instalment of the Twilight series. Wearing her usual getup of skinny jeans and a jacket, Kristen looked comfortable yet chic whilst Rob kept it low-key in beige trousers and a jacket. The couple were surrounded by security as they made their way through the airport, and in typical fashion avoided any public display of affection. Filming on the movie officially began three days ago in Baton Rouge, Lousiana. And it looks like the pair are in for a steamy time, as they will be filming Edward and Bella’s honeymoon scenes on the Isle of Esme. While I wasn’t particularly impressed with any of the Twilight books I have to say that I really did not like the final book, Breaking Dawn. For me, the strength of the book series is found in the relationship between human Bella and her forbidden love for vampire Edward. Once she becomes a vampire and they have the freaky sex and really freaky baby birth, well, the whole thing kinda goes to shizz. That being said, I can’t help but be curious to see how they end up bringing the strange tale developments in Breaking Dawn to life. Is that wrong? I can’t be alone in my belief that Breaking Dawn is terrible, right? Are you looking forward to seeing the film get made? [Photo credit: Splash News; Source]
Yesterday we learned that Sony Music and the estate of Michael Jackson announced the release of an entire album of new material from the late King of Pop titled simply Michael, scheduled to hit stores on December 14. As I mentioned, members of the Jackson family (including MJ‘s mother Katherine) doubt the validity of the songs selected for release and do not believe they are actual MJ songs (Sony insists that their voice experts have verified that the songs are, in fact, sung by Michael Jackson). In retaliation to the release of this new album of previously unreleased material, Katherine has authorized the FREE release of a MJ song that she owns as part of the Jackson Secret Vault collection … the song is titled Opis None and, Katherine claims, is 100% Michael Jackson: As you may recall, Katherine released earlier this year a coffee table book of photographs of Michael Jackson that were previously unseen. Apparently, she also owns around 300 unreleased MJ songs as well. This track, Opis None, is from that collection of songs and it is believed that Katherine authorized the release of this song as a genuine MJ song to oppose the collection of songs Sony is planning to release which she does NOT believe are genuine songs. Wanna hear Opis None? Listen in full, after the jump … Says Howard Mann, Katherine‘s business partner in the Jackson Secret Vault company, “In an effort to overcome the confusion as to the authenticity of the track the estate has recently released we want to give an actual authentic Michael Jackson track to the world … for free.” At just over 12 minutes long, this song sounds more like an extended remix instead of a proper single … but, then again, Michael Jackson never was one for convention. What do y’all think of this track? It deffo sounds like Michael Jackson to me, no doubt, but … is it a good song? [Source]

Aretha Franklin is canceling all concert dates and personal appearances through May on the orders of her doctors, the singer’s spokeswoman said Thursday. The news came two days after the announcement that Franklin had been released over the weekend from a Detroit hospital following a brief stay. Publicist Tracey Jordan said Tuesday Franklin was “resting comfortably at home, but is anxious to get back on the road to perform for her countless fans around the world.” Jordan wouldn’t say Thursday whether the events were related, nor did she offer any details about the 68-year-old Franklin’s condition. “Her doctors have required her” to cancel the appearances, Jordan told The Associated Press. It’s been a tumultuous several months for the Queen of Soul, whose hits include “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Chain of Fools” and her signature song, “Respect.” Her adult son, Eddie, was beaten by three men at a Detroit gas station in September. And a month earlier, she broke ribs in a fall, causing her to miss two free concerts in New York. One of the shows now being canceled is a Christmas concert scheduled for Detroit’s Fox Theatre on Dec. 9. Theater operator Olympia Entertainment said the show was being called off “due to medical reasons.” Franklin, one of the most honored singers in American history, has won numerous Grammys, the National Medal of Arts, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
At a Victoria’s Secret PINK event in Soho Monday night hosted by the Jets quarterback, Giants running back Brandon Jacobs and Victoria’s Secret models Chanel Iman and Erin Heatherton, Sanchez avoided questions about Sunday’s loss to the Packers and his much-rumored love life. “I have a full-time girlfriend — the New York Jets,” he told us. He then went on to model a Hugo Boss suit in a charity fashion show at Saks Fifth Avenue alongside his teammates.
Bret Michaels’ camp denies a report the rocker had an affair with Miley Cyrus’ mom, Tish, while she was married to singer Billy Ray Cyrus. “This is someone stirring a pot. This is untrue. He respects the family and worked with Miley and Tish on a professional level,” said Michaels’ rep. Reports claim that Michaels became close with the Cyrus clan after he and Miley recorded a song together, “Nothing to Lose.” Tish and Billy Ray are splitting after 17 years of marriage and filed for divorce last week.
Get ready for more Michael Jackson music. Sony Records and Jackson’s estate announced Thursday that they’ll be releasing “Michael” on Dec. 14. The album is billed as “newly completed recordings” from the pop legend who died last year. The first single is called “Breaking News” and will be streamed on http://www.michaeljackson.com starting Monday for one week. A teaser of the song will appear on the site Friday. Jackson recorded “Breaking News” in 2007. The statement says it was “recently brought to completion.” Jackson was known for recording dozens of tracks for his albums and had a substantial trove of unreleased music.
The couple – who met on the set of ‘Northern Lights’ in 2009 when both of them were married to other people – are set to wed after Eddie recently popped the question, sources told E! Online. The news of the engagement comes days after Eddie posted a photo of himself on twitter down on one knee and holding LeAnn’s hand. He jokingly captioned the image: “I couldn’t resist.” The following day LeAnn reacted to the picture on her own account, admitting it had been staged. She tweeted: “They’ve Bern saying we’re engaged for a while now, so we thought we’d have a little fun!” LeAnn recently insisted she never set out to hurt anyone when she got together with Eddie even though he was a married father-of-two while she was still with ex-husband Dean Sheremet. She said: “You have two couples whose marriages didn’t work. We stumbled upon each other and fell in love. Never was I thinking of hurting someone. I can’t change minds. Nothing I’m going to say is going to change it. I do know that and I have accepted that.” Eddie also revealed how he hoped people would come to accept their relationship because they’re so happy together. He said: “The truth is that we’re human beings. We make mistakes and we learn from them, but we’re human. We fell in love. We’re talking about something that’s over a year, year and-a-half old, really and we’re still together and we’re madly in love. And I think people are finally seeing that, but it doesn’t mean that people will accept it or the tabloids will stop trying to print lies and try to tear us apart or tear us down. We’re really happy in what we feel privately.”

We’re back in the square! And things are getting pretty damned unpleasant with Harry, Vanessa and the never ending storyline. More cars vandalised, a cat missing…things are getting out of control, a bit like “all that hardcore dance” that Will Smith once warned us about. …and of course, this article is riddled with spoilers, so if you read it and complain about things being ruined for you, then you’re the most stupid idiot in the whole universe. Okay? Now, let us peer into the crystal ball and look at Walford. Turncoat Jane has agreed to cater at the Vic. Ian’s not taking it lying down. He’s actually being really nice and helpful, potentially scuppering her evil plans… and meanwhile, Roxy has run out of dosh, as we know. So, in classic responsible adult on Eastenders style, she tries to win some money at the bookies. Elsewhere, geeky lovegod Tamwar feels like a spare part hanging out with Darren and Jodie; and a misplaced remark from dad Masood makes him feel insecure about his appearance. Max and Jack meet in R&R to discuss what to do about Harry. They hatch a plan to lure Harry to R&R where they will scare him, but they still can’t agree on how to handle the situation (a sheet over the head? Or scary mask?). But when Harry comes in, Jack just shoves him hard (good detailed plan, there). But Harry remains defiant, saying he will have the last laugh. Later, as soon-to-be-married Jack is grabbed by two men, who pull a pillowcase down over his head and they bundle him into the car, it seems Harry was right… Meanwhile, Ronnie is waiting for Roxy at the Argee Bhajee to begin her hen night (ambitious choice of venue), but she starts to worry when Roxy doesn’t turn up. That’s cos she’s skint, and doesn’t want to ruin her big sister’s wedding. But somehow you know she probably will. Will she be able to rustle up some much needed cash with cheeky chappie Alfie’s help? Well, this is a man who relaunched a pub in his father in law’s grotty living room, so anything is possible. Elsewhere, sounds like lusty Tamwar is out of control. He tries to flirt with Stacey but it ends in tears as he makes an inappropriate comment about her being a widow (we cannot wait); and a furious Kat pours a drink all over him. Thursday is the day of the two weddings, and suffice to say, it’s not going to go off as normal. Don’t want to totally ruin it, but Alfie’s going to be a total fool again, and give all of his wedding arrangements over to Ronnie at the drop of a hat, and Kat won’t like it. In fact, she’ll even throw her wedding cake out of a window at him. But Stacey tells her that Alfie is the best thing that ever happened to her but she is too stupid to see it. When Alfie realises he has made a mistake and decides to get their wedding back on track, his car won’t start. Desperate, he tries to catch the wedding bus, but he’s too late. Will he be able to save Kat’s wedding? What do you think? Meanwhile, Max realises that Jack is missing and starts to worry. He’s about to get married! Will anyone really notice if he just doesn’t turn up? Can’t they just shave an ape, stick it in a suit, and carry on? The Mitchell woman would remain, as they are as they prepare for the ceremony, blissfully unaware. As they prepare to leave for the bus, Roxy asks Phil to carry her bag of money (?) but Billy steps in and offers to carry them instead. Roxy warns him to look after them carefully, knowing that the bag is full of cash to pay for the wedding. Seriously, if there’s one golden rule of Eastenders, it’s never trust Billy with anything. He ALWAYS screws things up. Then once every five years he’s allowed to cosmically realign himself by getting badly beaten up by a gang of thugs with names like Bird. This can’t end well. Meanwhile, Max arrives home and finds Lauren lugging her suitcases down the stairs. She is going to stay with her mum for good because she is scared of him. She thinks her dad killed Archie! He pleads with his daughter, telling her that he is innocent and he is protecting the real killer. She finally sees the sincerity in Max’s eyes and decides to stay, and the two of them go to The Vic. But later she realises that Stacey is Archie’s killer, and goes straight for Max, telling him she knows who killed Archie… Will the weddings actually happen? You’ll have to wait til next week to find out! Follow hecklerspray on Twitter or join our Facebook group We’re back in the square!

Lil Wayne has always been the problem Wayne. Big Wayne, for instance, always made a point to keep his head down. And Medium-Sized Wayne? Why, butter wouldn’t melt in Medium-Sized Wayne’s mouth. But Lil Wayne has always been trouble. That’s why he’s just spent the last eight months in jail for spacking about illegally with an automatic gun. But those days are over – yesterday Lil Wayne was released from jail, and as a result he’s got plenty of lost time to make up for. What’s on the cards for newly-free Lil Wayne? Well, according to reports, he’s planning a great big Welcome Home party for himself in Miami. That sounds delightful. Lil Wayne will show those other rappers what a real party is. Happy Meals and fairy cakes all round! Although a jail sentence – especially a jail sentence in the notorious Riker’s Island prison – is nobody’s idea of fun, we fully expect that Lil Wayne was sad to leave his cell yesterday. After all, what are the two things you can count on in jail? That’s right – drugs and catastrophically shit tattoos. Lil Wayne loves drugs, and God knows he loves catastrophically shit tattoos – throw in an electric guitar that he could thrash about tunelessly at in the mistaken belief that people will love his musicianship as much as they love his rapping, and the man would have been in heaven. But that’s all in the past now. After serving eight months of his year-long sentence for attempted felony gun possession, Lil Wayne is now a free man. And, just like all free men before him, what was the first thing Lil Wayne did upon his release? Have an emotional reunion with the people he loves the most? Renew his belief in God? Breathe in a deep lungful of crisp autumnal air and silently vow never to take his freedom for granted again? No you idiots, he tried to see how many superfluous vowels and consonants he could write on Twitter. That’s what everyone does when they get out of prison. You idiot. CNN reports: Early Thursday morning, Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, was released from an eight month stint at Riker’s Island, tweeting “#WelcomeHomeWeezy” and “aaaaaaahhhhhhmmmmm baaaaakkkkkkkkkk” within hours of his release. But it’s the next step that will be much more interesting to witness. Apparently there will soon be a huge, no expense spared party to mark Lil Wayne’s release. It’s apparently being organised by the Cash Money family, a group of old-style aristocrats that can be traced back to the moment when Jeremy Percington Cash married Elizabeth Chastity Money in 1702. The Cash-Moneys have long been famed for their enchanting soirees, so Lil Wayne can expect an evening of the finest hand-cut cucumber sandwiches and tea like he’s never tasted served in the most exquisite china. Or the Cash Money family are just Lil Wayne’s gang of low-grade hangers-on, and the party will involve everyone standing around drinking cough medicine out of a polystyrene cup. One or the other.

Look, you don’t mess with Demi Lovato. You just don’t. In fact, you don’t mess with any tweeny Disney stars. Vanessa Hudgens? No. Miley Cyrus? No, her face has seen things, you can tell. The Jonas Brothers? No, not unless you want to have your arse kicked by the full force of their furious three-way eyebrows/ virginity combo. But you really, really don’t want to mess with Demi Lovato. You may recall that Demi Lovato recently went to rehab. Some suggested that this was because she was addicted to drugs. Some suggested that it was because she was addicted to alcohol. Some suggested that it was because she was addicted to purging ever meal she eats. But no. If the rumours are correct, then Demi Lovato is in rehab because she’s addicted to punching one dancer in the face once and then freaking out about it. Who knew? In the league table of Disney tween poppets, Demi Lovato is way behind the likes of Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens. This is because she’s never posted pictures of herself naked or nearly-naked on the internet. True, she starred in Camp Rock with the Jonas Brothers, and she’s fairly well-known for definitely never having any sex with any of the Jonas Brothers whatsoever, but when the time came to further her career by taking photos of her naked body and leaking them onto the internet, she choked. And thus a potentially great career was snipped off before it could even begin. A setback like that has to hurt a girl, so it was sad but not surprising when Demi Lovato recently wound up in rehab. After all, something has to be seriously wrong with you if you have to go to rehab. You have to be addicted to drugs. Or booze. Or sex which, as David Duchovny or Tiger Woods will tell you, is definitely a real addiction and not just something you make up when your wife catches you nobbing a slag. So which was it? Which of these awful addictions had Demi Lovato succumbed to? Actually, none of them. If reports are true, then Demi Lovato is in rehab being treated for her addiction to punching a solitary dancer in the face one single time, because she thought that the dancer had blabbed about a secret party of hers. Which is apparently a genuine addiction that needs professional residential treatment now. CNN reports: Lovato confronted a young dancer, whom she thought might have been the one to blame for telling on her. “There was a short, physical altercation,” says the source, adding that it was “one-sided.” “Afterwards, Demi felt awful about her behavior and realized she needed to take personal responsibility for it,” says the family source. So there you have it. Demi Lovato is apparently in rehab because she might have punched someone. Look out for Demi’s next single, a cover of Amy Winehouse‘s Rehab that’s been rewritten to include the line “I tried to check myself into rehab/ They said ‘But Demi, you’re not even addicted to anything and rehab really isn’t the most suitable course of treatment for you. In fact, you’re basically making a mockery of the entire rehab system here, you gigantic bellend/ No no no’”.

Do you know what the following phrases add up to? ‘Ruthless’, ‘sci-fi’, ‘alien’, ‘seductress’, ‘voracious sexuality’, ‘Scarlett bloody Johansson’? They add up to absolute GOLD. Did you like ‘Species’? Of course you did. It had the same 24-carat premise, had loads of quality character-actors and ‘Sir’ Ben Kingsley in it, had an alien designed by H.R.(Alien)Giger, and Micheal Madsen blew everything up with a shotgun, smoked some cigarettes and looked cool. And there was a fit woman taking her shirt off a lot. Did you like ‘Lightforce’? Of course you didn’t. No-one’s ever seen it, but it had Jean-Luc Picard in it, was written by the co-creator of the ‘Alien’ franchise and featured Mathilda ‘Very Fit’ May without a stitch on for about an hour. It was awesome – the space shuttle was in it and everything. Producers FilmNation have upped the anti by casting Scarlett Johansonn – feasibly the world’s ‘fittest’ and indeed ‘tidiest’ woman alive – in new film ‘Under the Skin’ in the role of: “an alien on earth, disguised as the perfect aesthetic form of a mesmerizing woman. She scours remote highways and desolate scenery looking to use her greatest weapon to snare human prey – her voracious sexuality” Utterly brilliant. You wouldn’t pay to see it in the cinema, but you’d definitely Sky Box Office it. But wait! It’s being produced with the help of Film4, the UK Film Council and Scottish Screen. This is starting to sound a bit ‘art-house’. It gets worse. According to the producers, the central character in this potentially awesome b-movie tits-and-gore fest is: “drawn to and changed by the complexity of life on earth. With this new found humanity and weakening alien resolve, she finds herself on a collision course with her own kind. Taking her point of view throughout, the film presents a unique look at our world through alien eyes’ Which actually sounds rubbish in a ‘Man Who Fell To Earth’ sort of way. Scarlett Johansson may not even take her shirt off. And we’ve seen enough of ‘those’ films. Oh well. As you were.

The girl that Demi Lovato punched in the face before she hightailed it to rehab has managed to remain nameless and faceless — until now. Meet 21-year old back up dancer Alex Welch and her lovely black eye! The Daily Mail says: The back-up dancer at the center of Demi Lovato’s airplane meltdown has been identified at red-head Alex Welch. The 21-year-old appeared in season three of America’s Best Dance Crew with Beat Freaks. And pictures taken after the incident have emerged showing Welch sporting what appears to be bruised eye. Honestly, that chick had it coming. You can’t go around with hair like that and not expect people to punch you in the face. She might as well be wearing a giant bullseye.
