The Bachelor Promo: You Can’t Fool Him, Honey!



“My mojo is risin’ and all these bitches betta look out!” – Courtney Robertson

As if she weren’t public enemy #1 already, Courtney’s skinny-dipping escapades on The Bachelor last night elevated her villain status to new heights/depths.

Will the overshadowed other women rise up against her? And will it matter?

As Court continues to run roughshod over the rest of the competition for Bachelor Ben Flajnik, the rest of the house has had about all that it can take of her.

Emily’s efforts to show that Ben’s being played (Ellen DeGeneres agrees) have fallen on deaf ears so far. Will the women stand a better chance collectively?

If nothing else, it looks like they’re gonna try. Watch the promo for next week’s episode and beyond (around the six minute mark) in the video below:

Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul Confirm Judge’s Departure from The X Factor



Yes, Paula Abdul really is out of The X Factor.

While no one doubted the veracity of this morning’s report – which detailed the ousting of Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones – the singer herself had not spoken out about the decision until now.

X Factor Team

“I’ve learned through my longevity in this industry that business decisions often times override personal considerations,” Paula said in a statement. “Simon and I, along with Fox and producers Fremantle, have been communicating about this for a while now, and I have absolute understanding of the situation.

“Simon is, and will remain a dear friend of mine and I’ve treasured my experience working this past season with my extended family at Fox and Fremantle. I want nothing more than for The X Factor to exceed ALL of their wildest dreams. This truly has been a blessing and I am most grateful.”

Cowell also chimed in on the move, releasing his own statement that reads:

“I want to say a massive thank you to Paula, Nicole and Steve for being part of The X Factor last year. We had a lot of fun making the show together and importantly, we found some real talent and stars… I’m sure all three are going to have massive success in what they do next, but now is the time to thank them all for everything they did last year.”

So, with the formalities out of the way, now it’s time to pick a new judge. Who do you think it should be?

Lana Del Rey Steps Out in Paris, Defends SNL Visit

She’s been busy with international promotions, and earlier today (January 31) Lana Del Rey was spotted out and about in Paris, France.

The “Video Games” songstress looked cute and casual in a tan jacket with a white scarf and blue jeans as she chatted with fans while leaving her hotel.

As for her recent criticism for her “Saturday Night Live” performance, Lana shared that she was actually pretty happy with how she looked and sang.

“I actually felt good about it. I thought I looked beautiful and sang fine … I know some people didn’t like it, but that’s just the way I perform, and my fans know that.”

And Daniel Radcliffe, who hosted the episode also came to Miss Del Rey’s defense. “It was unfortunate that people seemed to turn on her so quickly. I also think people are making it about things other than the performance … if you read what people are saying about her online, it’s all about her past and her family and stuff that’s nobody else’s business. I don’t think the performance warranted anywhere near that reaction.”

Angelina Jolie: En Route to Rehab After Heroin Relapse (Tabloid Nonsensically Claims)!



Star’s cover story this week is all about Angelina Jolie and how she’s down to an emaciated 99 pounds due to shooting up heroin like a fiend apparently.

Three separate reasons this is ridiculous:

  1. The magazine proclaimed Brad Pitt got Angelina Jolie pregnant not even a month ago. Guess that didn’t pan out, given the image below?
  2. The cover photo of the star is hilariously Photoshopped to the point where her head and body don’t even look proportional any longer.
  3. She looked slender, but healthy THIS WEEKEND.

Angelina Jolie Wasting Away!

While the 36-year-old actress is clearly thin, she’s not anorexic. Her upper arms have some flesh on them, her cheeks look full enough, and so on.

Star’s claim that the 5’7″ actress weight has plummeted to 99 pounds seems full-on absurd, but that’s their claim, citing the good ol’ anonymous source:

“Angie has gotten so skinny and frail, Brad thinks she needs professional help,” the source said, adding that Brad staged an “intervention,” to get her help.

“Her face looks sunken. On the red carpet, her arms look like twigs.”

Uh huh. “Brad is really concerned with her eating habits,” the source adds. “She’s existing on cereal bars and smoothies and slipped to just 99 pounds.”

“She is so thin yet will still go on a carrot-juice fast for days. Brad leaves food out all over the place hoping she’ll snack.” LOL. Sorry, we can’t take anymore.

Just for fun, check out Star’s cover from almost exactly a year ago after the jump. Must be something about Angelina Jolie this time of year …

Angelina Jolie WASTED!

Selena Gomez in Cosmo: Revealing!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , — EndYear @ 7:32 pm



The March issue of Cosmopolitan features an especially revealing side to Selena Gomez, and we aren’t just talked about her cleavage-baring photo:

Selena Gomez Cosmo Cover

Inside the magazine, Gomez isn’t shy about expressing her feelings for Justin Bieber, saying:

“I’m just like every 19-year-old girl. If you’re in love, you’re in love to the fullest, and you just want to go to the movies, hang out, and be as normal as possible. I’m fortunate that I’ve found someone who has that philosophy.”

He also has the means to make those movie dates a tad abnormal. One time, Bieber rented out an entire basketball arena for the couple.

But while Justin is apparently an ideal boyfriend, Gomez tells the publication that she once “wasted” a year of her life with someone who was anything but.

“I was in a relationship previously where I had to hide everything and it wasn’t my choice. I had to go through different exits and take separate cars and do the craziest things, and it just really wasn’t worth it.”

Hmmm… two famous Selena exes come to mind: Taylor Lautner and Nick Jonas. To which of these attractive young studs do you think Gomez is referring?
