Jersey Shore star Snooki has become a household name thanks to her unabashed over-the-top antics, style and personality. But how did a middle school aged Nicole Polizzi from Marlboro, New York suddenly become Snooki? Keep reading to watch a video clip of Snooki explaining the origins of her moniker and see photos of the original Snooki! (Actually Snookie the cootchie crook.)
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 2 got super real. Just one of the many dramatic story-lines was Kim Richards’ increasingly erratic behavior. The Season 1 finale ended with a dramatic scene between Kim and her sister Kyle where Kyle called her an alcoholic. Kim had a brief stay in rehab after they finished filming, but walked out days later. Now, Kim is admitting for the first time on camera that she is, indeed, an alcoholic, telling Andy Cohen that’s why she went to rehab this winter.
Rihanna (might have) gotten a tattoo homage to fallen ’90s rapper Tupac Shakur. Click to see.
Yesterday we reported on a rumor that Demi Lovato was back in rehab. However, several sources have refuted that claim (originally made by blindgossip.com.)
What we can confirm, though, is that another famous woman named Demi, Demi Moore has checked into a treatment center facility center to “treat exhaustion and improve her overall health,” after being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance Tuesday for what TMZ is calling “substance abuse problems.”
After her latest arrest, Jenelle has taken a break from her prolific Twitter and Facebook updates, and now has a representative managing those accounts until her probation is finished April 2012. Starcasm, however, was able to talk to Jenelle, and we have some updates about what’s going on in her life.
Lindsay Lohan recently had a tax problem made public, but otherwise she’s been doing very well lately. She got glowing reviews at her latest probation hearing, and hopefully the legal, drug, and personal troubles that have troubled her these past few years are behind her.
She’s still got problems though. TMZ dug up documents proving that Thomas A. Green, a homeless man who has a history of delusional episodes and hallucinations filed a rambling, ridiculous lawsuit against Lindsay. It’s really hard to figure out exactly what the lawsuit is actually about. He rambles for pages and pages about communicating with Lindsay on Facebook, a failed online business partnership, assassinating Osama bin Laden, hurling insults at her mother’s PR person, and claiming Lindsay is a high-end hooker. He wants $300,000 from the starlet for his troubles.
Here’s the gobbledygook (sort of) analyzed:
Sure, a lot of people were betting a lot of money on the demise of Kim Kardashian, and even Katy Perry’s marriages, but NO ONE put any coin down on the prospect that Heidi Klum and Seal would divorce (Except probably some VERY cynical guy who’s now a billionaire thanks to this upset.)
What? The Kardashians faked something? Color us shocked!
A few weeks ago on Kourtney and Kim Take New York Kim Kardashian was seen in a weird car scene with her mom Kris Jenner talking about problems she was having in her marriage to Kris Humphries. (This was the episode where they were in Dubai to open Millions of Milkshakes.) There were a few things shady with the scene: the car windows were blacked out, and at one point when she’s supposed to be talking to her mom about the divorce, the camera pans away and her voice is completely different. The minute the strange segment aired, Kris Humphries took to Twitter with a cryptic tweet:
Fresh off a Golden Globe win for his lead role on Boss, actor Kelsey Grammer made his return to 30 Rock on tonight’s “Idiots Are People Two!” episode. Kelsey’s appearance in the actual episode is extraordinarily brief, but the last minute or so of the show is completely dedicated to Kelsey in the form of a James Bond intro spoof, during which he shoots a look alike of his ex-wife Camille Grammer!
Just when I started to think of the National Enquirer as almost respectable (They were right about John Edwards!), they go all Weekly World News with a front page that declares, “O.J. BOMBSHELL: ‘I’M KHLOE’S REAL DAD!’” Keep reading for a bit of background on how the whole O.J. theory was originally hatched, including side-by-side photos of his daughter Sydney and Khloe – who supposedly look alike.
UPDATED! With deets from the article, including numerous sources who calim O.J. and Kris had an affair right around the time Khloe was born and that he used to brag about being her dad! Oh, and the Kardashians respond!
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans is behind bars again, this time for violating a domestic violence protective order according to a news release from the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Department. The arrest occurred Monday night at around 7:15 and as far as we can tell she is still in jail at the time of this post.
UPDATE – We spoke with Jenelle’s attorney who tells us she is out on $1,000 bond and faces 75 days of active jail time.
US Weekly says they have several sources confirming a split between alternapop singer and fashion mogul Avril Lavigne and her boyfriend of two years Brody Jenner. The sources also claim that Brody felt his career was being held back by his busy girlfriend.
It seems that the bad case of train wreckitosis Kate Major caught while dating Patient Zero Michael Lohan is untreatable. Kate was arrested yet again this morning in Boca Raton, Florida, this time for battery, battery against an officer, EMT, or firefighter, and resisting an officer with violence. Keep reading for her most recent booking photo and take a trip down memory lane with a couple memorable clips of Michael and Kate from Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.
MTV worlds collided last night in Fayetteville, North Carolina as Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans arrived for the Club Barcelona Snow Bunny Party hosted by Jersey Shore‘s Vinny Guadagnino! Keep reading for a photo of the two reality stars together and to read Jenelle’s impression of the Vin Man!
Nick Cannon looks a million times better tonight than when his wife Mariah Carey tweeted this photo of him in a hospital bed January 5, 2012. Nick stepped out looking dapper and healthy with Mariah at the BET Honors in DC Saturday night (January 14, 2012.)
Jenelle Evans was arrested again!
Jenelle was booked today, January 10, 2012 at around 10:15 a.m. in Brunswick County for “harassing phone calls” and “communicating threats,” according to Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office. She posted a $1,000 bond, and was out of jail before noon today.
Actress Katherine Heigl adopted baby Naleigh with husband Josh Kelley September, 2009 from South Korea. One of the reasons she adopted Naleigh was because Katherine’s old sister Meg Heigl-Beltran was also adopted from Korea.
Now, in a new blog for ivillage, Katherine really opens up about the stresses (and nightmare) of trying to excel in her career, as a new mom, and as a wife.
Amber Rose released her first single “Fame” featuring her boyfriend Wiz Khalifa.
She told MTV.com that she didn’t share the song with Wiz until it was completely finished. “I made the entire song and then sent it to him, he was overseas on tour at the time.He thought the track was dope and I asked him if he would be on it, he said definitely.” She also said she’s taking voice lessons, and is working on a full album. Listen to it now.
TTabatha Coffey is one of our major crushes at starcasm.net! It’s that no-nonsense, ball-busting attitude surrounding a very sweet and caring center that gets us. Plus, she’s hot! A new iteration of her salon takeover show called Tabatha Takes Over (airing Tuesdays 10/9c) follows Tabatha taking over everything from salons to yogurt shops, and all kinds of other businesses. Tabatha knows hair, but the true value of what she brings to salons is a keen business sense and emphasis on customer service, which can be used to turn around ANY business.
Like many interesting people, Tabatha did not have a boring childhood. In fact, the now-fit hairdresser-guru was once overweight, and grew up around drag queen strippers and mobsters!
Jessica “Red” is the ex-girlfriend and baby’s mother of Wes on the new MTV MMA fighting show Caged! She’s a super gorgeous nursing student with fiery red hair, and a good head on her shoulders. Jessica is from a small Louisiana town called Mendin, where she feels trapped (get it, this show’s title is literal AND metaphorical!)
Red and Wes broke up three months before they started taping the show, and Red thinks Wes uses fighting to escape reality “whenever he has a lot of stress, or any kind of anger . . . he can just go and train.” Without the fighting competition, Red thinks that Wes would be getting in all sorts of trouble.

Who’s The Bachelor’s Ben Flajnik engaged to? Did he pick anyone at all? Bachelor spoiler rumors are swirling.
Reality Steve, The Bachelor‘s notorious spoiler (who is currently being sued for allegedly persuading contestants, sometimes with money, to break their contract) revealed that the winemaker is engaged to
Blue Ivy Carter’s daddy Jay-Z released a very sweet song for his new daughter today called “Glory, featuring B.I.C.” (listen below.)
He sings “Baby, I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you,” and also “You’re my child from a child of Destiny’s child.”
The song ends with Blue Ivy, or B.I.C.’s cries. She’s not even two days old, and she’s already a recording artist!
Jay-Z also reveals in the song that wife Beyonce suffered a miscarriage before she became pregnant with baby Ivy Blue:
“Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you’d disappear/But nah baby you magic.”
On the MTV documentaryTrue Life: I’m a Textaholic (premiere date Nov. 5, 2011), Kristin Raeon was featured to tell the story of her texting addiction. The basic storyline of the show was that her constant texting was ruining her life, causing her to have problems in school, and ultimately ended her marriage. Kristin was shown going a birthday trip to Panama City with her husband Steven Brooks. They went out drinking, and to to shock and dismay of the viewing audience, Kristin immediately let a guy buy her drinks, exchanged numbers with him, and then ran back to tell her husband about it. Kristin got a lot of backlash about this depicted behavior, but she tells starcasm.net exclusively that all wasn’t as it seemed.
Renee Graziano is back with Hector Pagan ex-husband Hector Pagan Jr. (a.k.a. Junior) and the father of her son AJ (Anthony John). Hector Pagan Jr.
Last year Junior Pagan was rounded up in a major mob bust, leaving Renee devastated. She briefly got back with her ex-husband, but left him after she found out he was seeing other women.
On tonight’s episode Junior wanted to spend time with Renee in the six months he had while he wanted for his sentencing for the last bust. He told Renee that her brush with death during her plastic surgery nightmare scared him because he didn’t want to lose her. When she asked if he didn’t want to lose her because he was still in love with her, or because he loved her, he replied “both,” which made her break down. Renee replied “I’ve been waiting for this for year. For years I’ve been in love with you, only you.”
Charles Grant’s girlfriend Marlo Hampton is making an appearance on the Real Housewives of Atlanta this year, but she didn’t get cast in a top spot.
Hampton, who’s been arrested seven times, made quick friends with NeNe Leakes, who was romantically linked to Charles (and who says that they “had a drink together” a long time ago.)
Our pal Michelle Brown at Straight From the A has been serving up the dish on Marlo for a while, and she’s revealed a new development. Marlo’s first arrest was in 1999 for felony Aggravated Battery / Great bodily harm with a weapon. According to Straight From the A, she slashed a woman’s face during a fight with a man.
Everyone knows Scott Disick from the Pop Culture Royalty Kardashians, as Kourtney Kardashian’s partner, baby Mason’s father, (and as American Psycho Patrick Bateman lookalike) but Scott’s family is also involved in luxury resort development and fractional real estate.
Our girl Adele’s got a new man! He’s furry, his nickname is Swampy, and he’s an investment-banker-turned-charity-CEO.
Simon (36) runs the water charity Drop4Drop out of Brighton, and the organization has projects running all over the world to help provide safe and clean water to those in need of it. Awww, so he’s tries to make the world a better place!

Sienna Miller (30) is expecting her first child with boyfriend of almost a year Tom Sturridge, US Weekly reports. Their source claims Sienna and Tom “don’t have plans right away to marry, if at all.” They reportedly weren’t surprised about the news of the pregnancy, and are “really good together.”
Who is Tom Sturridge anyway?
In 2010 14-year-old Jakadrien Turner ran away from home in amidst family turmoil, and ended up being mistakenly deported to Colombia. It’s an incredible story, but that’s reportedly what happened, and she’s now 15, pregnant, and waiting in a detention holding facility after having built a whole different life for herself in Bogota. Now, both nations are trying to figure out exactly what went wrong.
Looks like Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s ab soul mate featured on Jersey Shore Season 5 Jonny “The Unit” Manfre has out-situationed his ab situation. But “The Unit” got his nickname because of other endowments, namely, as he told MTV’s Remote Control Blog the “mini-baseball bat in my pants.” He’s previously made press for being arrested at the Jersey Shore house this July for possessing “white powdery substance.” No one’s wrangled up his mug shot, but he was led away from the Shore house in handcuffs. The drama surrounding his arrest will probably be covered later this season.

Okay, so everyone now knows that Leah Messer is expecting her third baby with boyfriend Jeremy Calvert (his first), and that they’re engaged. Now we have the details on their engagement, Leah’s ring, and ex-husband Corey’s response. Jeremy reportedly proposed to Leah on Christmas Day (exactly one year after the Christmas episode we watched on…
Yesterday (January 4, 2012) Mariah Carey tweeted a pic of her husband Nick Cannon in a hospital bed, asking for prayers as he recovers from “mild kidney failure.”
The couple were in Aspen at the time of the hospitalization, but Cannon tweeted that he was being moved to L.A. yesterday evening.
Is there such a thing as “mild” kidney failure? What causes it? Is Cannon going to completely recover?
Kanye West’s ex girlfriend Amber Rose hasn’t spoken much about her breakup with Kanye West, but now, in an exclusive interview with Star magazine, she says Kanye was cheating with Kim Kardashian in 2010, who was also cheating on her ex Reggie Bush. Looks like Kim Kardashian was taking her “many loves” dream to the extreme!
Kim Kardashian has always had a thing for Elizabeth Taylor. They both have dark, shapely good looks, both love jewelry and heavy makeup, and both have multiple marriages in a lifetime. Multiple loves and marriages happen to some people, but few people actually plan it (including Elizabeth Taylor, who told Kim that “live happens”) but it sounds like Kim Kardashian is actively planning and hoping to fall in love and get married a bunch of times.
All signs are pointing to a reconciliation between Maria Shriver (56) and the former California governor and forever Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger (64) (pictured above in 2010,) despite the fact that he fathered a love child with the maid 15 years ago.
Teen Mom Farrah Abraham split with Marcel Kaminstein, the jewelry entrepreneur she met on JDate and started dating in early December. According to a statement Marcel sent starcasm.net, they broke up amicably right before New Year’s.
The 16th season of The Bachelor premieres tonight on ABC and one of the many twists the network has in store for us and Ben Flajnik on opening night is grandma Sheryl, the first woman out of the limo to meet Ben! So is this hot cougar a legitimate contender for the heart of Ben Flajnik? Keep reading to find out!
It’s hard not to love Ellen Barkin. She’s one of Andy Cohen’s favorite guests, was once married to Gabriel Byrne, does little more but curse on Twitter, AND she’s an uber cougar who’s probably dating a man 30 years her junior (27-year-old director Sam Levinson.)
Watch the video – do you think she was mistreated by the NYC police?
When the ball drops every New Year it seems the whole (English speaking) world erupts in a strange song with lyrics no one understands. Something about forgetting old acquaintances.
Here’s the deal about “Auld Lang Syne”: where it came from, what it means, and why we sing it at the beginning of every year.
Videos 18-year-old Ben Breedlove posted on YouTube a week before his death on Christmas day from a heart attack brought about by a lifelong heart condition has received national attention. They are “secrets”-type videos, a style of storytelling popular among teens using note cards to sometimes heartbreaking stories with messages of inspiration and strength. Over 1500 people attended his funeral, and 3 million w
Pam Behan, former nanny, cook, and personal assistant to Kris and Bruce Jenner is shopping a tell-all to spill secrets about the the whole Kardashian and Jenner clan; especially Bruce’s older children Brody and Brandon Jenner (Bruce’s kids from his second marriage, to Linda Thompson), and Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.
Find out what she’s itching to tell!
Sooooo, we almost sort of bought 49-year-old Jim Carrey’s explanation that he was joking when he made that creepy video asking out 23-year-old starlet Emma Stone. But now the New York Post reports that he’s dating Anastasia Vitkina, a 23-year-old Russian girl attending college in New York. Maybe he was serious about that Emma Stone hook-up after-all, but settled for a less famous one-score-and-three-year-old.
Tiger Woods mistress #1 is going to be having baby #1 according to the following photos and tweets she posted yesterday. See “The Uch” 5 months along with hubby Matt Hahn and catch a video that would mean trouble for this expected bundle of joy.
Nothin’ gives you the fuzzies inside like a kid at a lemonade stand. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s cutie-pie 6-year-old daughter Violet Affleck set up a lemonade stand outside of her house in Brentwood.
witter is aflutter in #prayforjustinsgrandparents hashtags after Justin Bieber’s mom Pattie Mallette tweeted that they were involved in a pretty serious car accident. Bruce and Diane Dale flipped their car into a ditch (presumably in Canada, where they live,) and Bruce now has broken ribs.
She asked for prayers, and boy did Twitter deliver!
Lady Gaga has achieved massive amounts of fame and monetary success these past few years, but she’s refused to purchase real estate because she’s been constantly touring. Now there’s a rumor that she may finally buy a mansion to deck out Gaga-style . . . in Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
47-year-old former Calvin Klein advertising executive Madonna Badger (responsible for the iconic Marky Marky spots) had an unimaginably horrific Christmas.
Christmas Day around 5 a.m. a fire erupted in Madonna Badger’s Stamford, Connecticut house. Madonna and a male friend Michael Borcina were able to escape the burning house, and Madonna climbed onto the roof in a desperate but unsuccessful attempt to save her three children: Lily (10), and twins Sarah and Grace (7.)
Thanks to a surrogate mother 56-year-old Grace Hightower De Niro and her Hollywood royalty husband Robert De Niro (68) have a brand new baby girl! Helen Grace weighed 7 lb., 2 oz. at birth, and is the couple’s 2nd child and Robert’s 6th. Grace and Robert’s 14-year-old son is named Eliot.
It’s really hard to spend a lot of time keeping up with The Salahi White House Cracher Circus’ press when one of them isn’t faking a kidnapping to run off with a Journey guitarist, but this might be worth noting for posterity.
Tareq Salahi, still reeling from Michaele dumping him for Neal Schon, spoke very openly with The Huffington Post’s Rob Shuter, and he confirmed what evidence has been telling us all along. Michaele Salahi (probably) lied about a lot of big things.
Actress Rooney Mara kicks butt as the tech-savvy Byronic heroine Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and she’s been raising eyebrows (and her own bangs line) at red carpet premieres for the film, but before you start getting delusions of Mikael Blomkvist grandeur you should know she is currently off the market. Keep reading to find out who may be the future Mr. Mara and what it all has to do with A Clockwork Orange and Kristin Chenoweth!
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards is currently in rehab, and her sister Kyle Richards told US Weekly that Kim is “doing really well. Fantastic.”
One of Kim’s ex-husbands Monty Brinson, who has always remained close to her, has also spoken out about her progress in rehab. He told Life & Style “She’s the happiest she’s been in a very long time. She’s ready to start a new life when she gets out.”
The Daily Mail has a photo of Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry (Irwin) kissing a “mystery man” December 20, at his Pennsylvania home. Has she found a new boyfriend? It looks like this is the same guy, Javi Marroquin, who accompanied her to her promotional event in North Carolina December 1, however we have…
Rapper Tyler the Creator (Tyler Okonma) was taken into police custody last night around 11:30 PM after he destroyed some sound equipment at the Roxy theater in Hollywood, where he had performed earlier that night, TMZ reports. He was arrested in front of his mother on suspicion of vandalism.
Megan Fox took a break from retirement to go 1930s glam!
I’ve been wondering where Megan Fox went. A few years ago she was all the rage with her zany magazine quotes about her poop, her Transformers work, and every man (and almost every woman alive) wanting to bed her. Things quieted down after she had a box office bomb with Jennifer’s Body, married Brian Austin Green, got fired from Transformers, and then took time off to focus on her family.
But she hasn’t taken time off from her long-running relationship modeling for Armani. She’s still been posing in her underwear for Emporio Armani lingerie line, and now she’s back with an Elizabeth Taylor-esque glam look for Armani Madre Perla makeup. They just released this ad for the 2011 Holiday art deco inspired collection, and it’s gorgeous!
Thanks to the internet, sometimes a dissatisfied customer can at least get the commiseration of 4 million people when their Fed Ex delivery guy breaks their computer monitor by throwing it over a gate instead of ringing their bell.
The Kardashians and their gloomy Holiday card need to take note! This is how you rock a celebrity Christmas Card!
Adele is back to work after throat surgery, and tweeted this cute photo to wish her fans a Merry Christmas.
“Back on the grind. Hair and make up did. Merry Christmas! Axx”
Despite claims last month from Mariah Yeater’s ex-boyfriend Robert Powell that he’s the father of baby Tristyn, and that Mariah concocted the Justin Bieber story to sell to tabloids for $50,000; Mariah is still stickin’ to her story.
Dec. 18 Jennifer Hudson looked incredibly slim in a Francesco Scognamiglio minidress and thigh high boots at the VH1 Divas Celebrate Soul at Hammerstein Ballroom.
In case we haven’t all seen enough of the Kardashians this year, their 2011 Holiday Card in available in 3-D (as well as the 2-D version you see above.)
The whole klan is there (except for Brody Jenner and his girl Avril Lavigne, who never really get sucked into the Kardashian/Jenner entertainment machine) with Khloe and Kourtney standing by their men Lamar and Scott, while Kim stands starkly alone in her sequined tuxedo jacket.
