Lincoln Park, Michigan’s Amanda Clayton won a million dollars in the state lottery. She took it all in one lump sum and after taxes she pocketed about $500,000.

Kim Zolciak stole our hearts with a dance version of “Tardy for the Party” (a country song reworked by Kandi Burruss,) then she asked us to “Google Me” (she didn’t have to ask!) Now, she’s gone back her her country aspirations with a new single “Love Me First.”
It’s a country song, for sure, but it’s been enhanced by a little auto-tune magic. It’s about learning to love yourself before you can love anyone else.

Okay, I kind of have a crush on Bethenny Frankel’s nerdy foodie buddy Nick Feitel. He’s really smart, he knows A LOT about food, he writes well, he always calls Bethenny ma’am, and . . . . he’s just a mess, but in a lovable way. He has a compelling mix of exhibitionism and self-conscious uncomfortableness that we can all relate to. He’s sweet, but he has trouble with women, and his relationship with Bethenny is one of the best things to ever come from reality television.
According to Bethenny, Nick (who has an acting reel, and appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, and a Dell commercial before he was cast on Bethenny’s show,) has recently undergone some changes.
This is harsh.

Yes. I’m telling you to feel all right if you’re in a hurry and slip this new album in between Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A. While you’re out you shouldn’t feel disrespectful or bad about it.”
19-year-old Demi Lovato has become one of the strongest role models young women have today, and it’s not because she projects an image of goody-two-shoes perfection.
