See where Jersey Shore star Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola got her nickname in this childhood photo featuring Sammi with blonde hair, a Mickey and Minnie Mouse t-shirt and a DTR pink bicycle complete with training wheels!
Madonna looked fantastic as she took the stage at a Super Bowl XLVI press conference earlier today to talk about her upcoming halftime performance. The Queen of Pop seemed quite restrained as she fielded a seemingly unending stream of awkward and lame questions ranging from “How much help do you get?” to “So, I’m assuming no kiss after this?” Keep reading to watch a video of the entire press conference and see a couple photos of what a lifetime of cardio looks like!
Ellen DeGeneres is working with JC Penney (rebranded as JCP) as they try to rejuvenate their company (the ads with all the screaming didn’t exactly help with that, somebody page Don Draper.)
But thanks to the anti-gay conservative Christina activist group One Million Moms (which only has about 40,000 likes on Facebook, btw) JCP’s getting some extra free press. OMM calls for a boycott of JCP’s products unless they drop Ellen, just because she’s openly gay.
As if being a self described “wild Alaskan” and a beautiful Bohemian gold hunting gal isn’t enough it turns out that Bering Sea Gold’s Emily Riedel’s first career choice is that of an opera singer! We did some serious profiling of the glorious deckhand from the Clark but felt that her opera career was worthy of its own post. She’s got gold fever but her priorities lie in the higher ranges of that of a classical singer. Check out a graceful and poised Emily performing Bach and Schubert.
Bering Sea Gold exploded onto the airwaves Friday night scoring the highest rated debut in the history of the Discovery Channel. If you missed it, than you also missed one of the most intriguing women to ever grace the reality landscape, Emily Riedel. Emily is a Bohemian beauty native of Alaska who just so happens to be an opera singing, gold hunting, massage therapist, pursuing an opera masters degree in Vienna. Find out all about my newest TV crush including photos, a video, bio information and more.
48-year-old 2ealthy Polo club founder John Goodman, who is currently in the middle of a civil case over a drunk driving death he caused in 2010, is receiving a lot of heat for adopting his 42-year-old girlfriend Heather Hutchins October 2011. Not only is that a weird act, but plaintiff’s attorneys believe this odd legal action was a blatant attempt to shield his assets from the legal proceedings.
Sounds sort of fishy, but while the legal system works out this mess, it still begs the question: Now that his girlfriend is his daughter, is it legally considered incest to have sex with her?
Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer dropped a bombshell Wednesday night when she admitted to cheating on her fiance Corey Simms a week before their wedding! KEep reading for the complete confession!
House of Carters reality star Leslie Carter, the sister of Backstreet Boys Nick and Aaron Carter, passed away on Tuesday at the too-young age of 25. The grieving family kept information tight on what happened but details are starting to emerge on how she may have died. Read on for the latest.
Melissa Morris, the subject of a special 2 hour premiere episode of TLC’s new show My 600-lb Life, was filmed by the network over the last seven years as she struggled to lose over 500 pounds. Formerly tipping the scales at 673 pounds, she now triumphantly weighs in at 170. Now that she weighs a fourth of what she once weighed, she’s struggling to redefine her relationship with her husband Chris, who married her when she was heavy, and to see herself as she looks today, not as she was when she was over 600 pounds and immobile.

It didn’t take long for Snooki to deny the pregnancy rumors that were stirred up by Radar via Star Magazine. As we previously reported they were citing “insider sources” who claimed that she was hiding a secret pregnancy with boyfriend Jionni LaValle. Read what she had to say and how she turned the whole thing into an issue about weight.
It’s not often I get to do a post about a photo of a piece of furniture (I think the closest I have come is when I wrote about Teresa Giudice’s bankruptcy auction), but today I get that rare opportunity thanks to the viral heebie jeebie inducing couch photo above. It might seem like your everyday sofa photo at first glance, but if you look long enough you might just poop your britches when you find yourself face to face with…
THE WOMAN BEHIND THE COUCH!
We’re getting deep into the 2nd season of Teen Mom 2. Wednesday finds us once again breaking down the After Show and bonus footage from MTV for last night’s episode. For this Wednesday wake-up call we’ve got Jenelle and her total backstabbing court situation with Delp, Leah’s exasperation at Corey’s inability to express himself and where he’s coming from as their marriage crumbles, Chelsea not talking about Adam for the most part which is awesome, and Kailyn trying to explain why she thinks it’s okay for her to have a boyfriend but not all right for Jo to have one of his “groupies.”
Snooki is reportedly expecting a little Snooki-wooki with long-time boyfriend Jionni LaValle.
Star‘s website partner Radar Online says a source told them “She is pregnant and has only told her closest friends and some family,” but she has “been telling people that she has a big announcement coming.”
According to reports Justin Bieber’s father Jeremy Bieber has serious issues dealing with reality. According to a family source the former mixed martial arts fighter punched his 20-year-old nephew Tylor in the face repeatedly after he told Biebs Sr. he was living off his son and “wouldn’t be anything if it wasn’t for Justin.” Keep reading for all the sad details, including Justin Bieber’s dad’s drunken plea, “Don’t call me Justin Bieber’s dad!”
Fun fashionista Paris Hilton flashed some fierce faux garters as she popped in to a Los Angeles gas station earlier today, a look very reminiscent of her flirty fetishtastic February FHM cover. Keep reading for her photos from the gas station, the FHM cover, a behind-the-scenes video from her photo shoot for the magazine, and a recent picture of Paris from the red carpet. It’s a Paris party post y’all!
There’s lots of rumors swirling about what sent Demi Moore to the hospital last week; whip-its, a marijuana-like substance from a head shop, alcohol, other drugs, or a mixture of all or some of these things. But there’s also a report that besides whatever else she may have been doing, Demi had recently been barely…
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. alternate universes collided as the stars of MTV’s Teen Mom 2 merged with the iconic creations from the world of George Lucas’s Star Wars films. The result is an entirely meaningless and silly handful of mash up images straight from the planet of Teenmomtooine.
UPDATED! Now with Jenelle and Kailyn!
Other than starring in film the two men you see have something very personal in common. No. It’s not the Oscars or Golden Globe awards, those would be George Clooney’s. No. It’s not the testicle scars from stapling your own manhood for laughs, that would be Steve-O. Both have recently called Elisabetta Canalis their one and only! It is time to let your voice be heard and let us know if you think Clooney to Steve-O is a step up or down for the Italian actress.
Dalisha Adams of Brooklyn, New York is accused of abandoning two of her young children on Sunday. The children were found lost on the streets near their grandmother’s house clutching diapers and bundled up for the currently cold weather. Read on to find out what she’s been charged with and to see a disturbing photo that popped up on her Facebook page while the police were still looking for her.
If you’re like me, you thought The Vow starring Rachel McAdamas and Channing Tatum, while fodder for some romantic eye candy, was just another of those love amnesia stories made-up for the movies. But it turns out there is a real life couple that inspired the story!
Actress Kristen Bell sat down with Ellen for a little chat and brought with her one of the funniest celeb freak out videos I can recall. Kristen’s fiance, actor Dax Shepard, for whom I’ll always remember as the Ow My Balls, “go away batin,'” guy from Idiocracy knew that nothing would please his wife more than a little time with a sloth. It was a beautiful and strange 31st birthday gift but poor Dax could not have been prepared with the fetal position, panic attack freak out that was to come.
And we all thought Donald Trump was the king of reality firing! Simon Cowell went down to the basement of his evil lair to get out his chopping axe and dude has been swingin’! Simon “Pink Slip McGee” Cowell has handed walking papers to Nicole Scherzinger, Steve Jones and now Paula Abdul. Yep. Paula, who was personally recruited by Simon after she was previously asked to leave American Idol, got canned too. Read on for the carnage including the impersonal way Paula found out about the dismissal and the word on who might be filling their shoes.
American Pickers office manager Danielle Colby Cushman is one of our favorite reality stars thanks to a wonderful mixture of intelligence, self confidence, and badass good-heartedness. But, it appears that not everyone shares our opinion of Danielle, especially when it comes to her burlesque dancing alter-ego, Dannie Diesel. Keep reading for what some haters had to say on Facebook and read Danielle’s lengthy responses, which are chock full of the intelligence, self confidence, and badass good-heartedness that we love so much!

Though technically not an official “Housewife” (yet), cast newbie Brandi Glanville will be joining the ladies towards the end of tonight’s episode and she sat down with Lynn N Chicago to dish about some of the things we can expect to see, some shocking things we won’t see, and some reflections on her first year living her life on camera.
Looks like Director Martin Scorsese has had enough of all this fame-hoin’ that Jack Russell Uggie has been doing for the film The Artist. In a op-ed for The Los Angeles Times the man who directed this season’s award powerhouse Hugo has called for a write-in for that film’s own four-legged actor, Blackie the Doberman. Read a bit from Scorsese’s funny plea, find out how you can get Blackie nominated for a Golden Collar and then let us know who your favorite dog is in cinema history.
When Gerard Butler replied, “Who’s Brandi Glanville?” when asked about the alleged week-long tryst the reality star claimed to have had with the actor I assumed things would calm down on the Butler did it, Beverly Hills Housewives cast member rumor mill. Twitter-turns out I was wrong. Another cast member is claiming to have slept with Butler and this time there’s a photo to back up the claim. Read on for the reveal on the latest Butler did it, RHOBH “scandal.”
Last week Matthew Broderick raised all of our hopes when he released a 10 second teaser on YouTube of him reprising his iconic title role from Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. The internet (and our hearts) buzzed with anticipation that a Ferris Beuller sequel was in the works (a grown-up Ferris calling in sick for his…
Last October (2011) a group of 13 teenage girls in upstate New York town LeRoy suddenly developed unexplained Tourrette’s Syndrome like tic symptoms. Many of the girls experienced the symptoms simultaneously, but weren’t aware that the other girls were experiencing the same thing.
A neurologist has diagnosed the girls with “mass hysteria,” and school officials release reports that there are no toxic chemicals at the school, but famous environmental activist Erin Brockovich is investigating these claims.
There are celebrity shout outs and then there is the direct endorsement of Sir Anthony Hopkins. There’s been quite a few celeb-gangsta wannabees showing love to the Mob Wives but when an Oscar winner and one of the most respected actors of his generation drops your name that’s a whole other level. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Hopkins was asked what his idea of a good night was and no it had nothing to do with fava beans and a nice chianti but had everything to do with Drita, Renee, Karen, Carla, “Big Ang,” and Ramona.
As tears of makeup darkness trickled down the countenance of Kim Kardashian’s face last night in the season finale of a couple of those K gals take a city show, we have instant news on the Kim K. front. Is this a surprise? Of course not! Come along as we find out about Kim’s desire to start a Bible study group, a stalker at her home who had the cops called on him and then hear some insightful and thoughtful preachifications on the whole Kim and Kris situation from none other than Snoop Dogg.
Just prior to the premiere episode of their new series Luck, HBO premiered a new trailer for the second season of their EMMY and Golden Globe Award winning fantasy drama Game of Thrones. The trailer is simply called “Shadow” and is narrated by everyone’s favorite soft-skinned eunuch spider Varys, who summarizes the shattered state of the kingdom of Westeros for Tyrion Lannister. Keep reading to watch the trailer, read the transcript, watch the first trailer released some time back, and probably get creeped out by my geeky excitement.
Mob Wives star Renee Graziano was rushed to a New York City hospital Friday soon after hearing that her father, Anthony “TG” Graziano, had been arrested yet again along with four other alleged members of the Bonanno crime family in an early morning raid. She reportedly suffered a panic attack and collapsed hours after hearing about her father’s arrest, which came less than two weeks after he had been indicted for a separate charge of extortion. Adding insult to injury, it appears that both arrests were made stemming from information received from recordings made by Renee’s ex-husband Hector “Junior” Pagan after he flipped to avoid armed robbery charges last year.
In last week’s episode of Teen Mom 2 we saw Leah Messer and husband Corey Simms arguing over whether or not they should get a new place to live or a more reliable truck for Corey. As it turns out, with a little bit a of patience they could have had both! Or so it would appear, given the fact that Corey has just purchased himself a new house to go with his freshly tinted pickup truck.
Former Olympic wrestler Rulon Gardner garnered a lot of criticism when he walked off of Season 11 of The Biggest Loser in hopes of jump starting his wrestling career. But, Rulon went 4-0 at the Kiki Cup this weekend – his first wrestling matches in more than seven years! Will this be enough to alter public opinion over his decision to leave the show? Keep reading for more info on Rulon’s departure from BL and return to wrestling, including videos from his matches as well as a lengthy interview with Rulon afterward.
We did a post earlier today featuring Christina Aguilera’s emotional rendition of “At Last” at the funeral of her mentor, legendary R&B singer Etta James. I confess that I was focused on Christina’s face, hands, and rather revealing neckline during the performance and failed to notice (as one commenter with a keen eye – and/or affinity for legs – pointed out) that there appears to be some sort of mystery fluid streaming down her leg. Is it makeup and sweat? Was Christina hiding a diet coke in her pocket? Could she possibly be a robot?!?
LeAnn Rimes attended the Dallas Mavericks game on Friday without hubby Eddie Cibrian, but that didn’t stop the Queen of PDA from showing her affection to a couple other attractive pieces of meat! (Somewhere Brandi Glanville is shaking her head.)
Last week popular music lost one of its icons when legendary R&B singer Etta James passed away at the age of 73. Christina Aguilera, who has said many times that Etta James was her number one inspiration, was on hand at Etta’s funeral today to say a few words and perform Etta’s most famous song, “At Last.” Keep reading to watch Christina’s emotional introduction and performance and see a clip of her and Etta together in 2006.
On March 25th Mad Men comes back to AMC with their 5th season, so naturally the network is getting its promotional engines warmed up. As part of their marketing material, they have released a minimalist promotional poster for the new season that features a silhouetted man in a suit falling on a white-to-light-gray gradient background with just the words “March 25” along the bottom. The image is graphically striking in its simplicity, but according to sites like Salon and Wet Paint, the poster is causing a bit of controversy from folks who think it is an obvious reference to 9/11.
Blake McDonald and Austyn Yoches are the newest alligator hunters to join the cast of Swamp People, and they represent yet another way 21st century Louisianans have figured out how to get back to their bayou roots. Keep reading for a bit of background info on the siblings as well as some swamptrulescent images of the “lil Guist brothers.”
Susanna Barrett, mom of five-year-old Isabella of Toddlers & Tiaras fame, has filed a $30 million defamation lawsuit against three top websites; TMZ, The Huffington Post, and The Daily Mail.
E Online obtained the court documents filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court claiming the three sites made “brazen attempts to sexualize” the young girl.
Troubled Teen Mom star Amber Portwood was in court today stemming from her drug arrest last month after police found numerous prescription pills in her possession that she could not prove were hers. Amber pled guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of probation violation and was sentenced to five years in prison. But, as part of the plea deal, Amber can avoid serving any time behind bars if she completes a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program, which means graduating from the Madison County Drug Court program.
In “Where Are They Now?” heartbreak news, former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin announced on Twitter earlier today that he and his girlfriend of almost two years, Ellen Ross, have decided to call it quits. And according to an “inside source” the reason for the break up was… too much media attention? Keep reading for the full scoop including Jon’s tweet asking that people respect their privacy during this time.

Next Tuesday Glee will air its much-anticipated Michael Jackson tribute episode simply titled “Michael.” In a preview clip released last week we saw a three-second glimpse of Santana (Naya Rivera) and Sebastian (Grant Gustin) performing a cover of Jackson’s epic “Smooth Criminal,” and now we have the entire thing in all of its double-cello, sexual tension glory!
UPDATE – Now you can listen to audio of all the performances from the episode!

We live in amazing times with these here interwebs. For a celeb caught up in a scandal they can be amazingly rough times because just about anything ever caught on video will more than likely end up on YouTube. Entertainment Tonight was doing a feature on actress Demi Moore, who (according to her reps) is currently seeking treatment for exhaustion and stress, and they released a mega cringe-worthy vintage clip from 1982. In the video, a visibly inebriated 19-year-old Moore repeatedly kisses her 15-year-old General Hospital co-star Philip Tanzini at his birthday celebration party. Check out the vid (if you can handle it) and get the latest on the recent 911 call that landed Moore in the hospital.
“Who’s Brandi Glanville?” – Gerard Butler
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!
This is one of those cases where I implore you not to kill the messenger. We have really enjoyed us some “Big Ang” from Mob Wives, and we’ve written in detail about her ties to “the life.” Well it looks like those ties we’re tighter than we thought as court papers reveal that the 51-year-old is a convicted felon and was busted on numerous occasions selling cocaine. Get the details that include Raiola selling cocaine to a confidential informant and statements made by her while being under wire tapping surveillance.
Teen Mom star Maci Bookout spoke at Kennesaw State University Thursday night and someone in the audience bootlegged just about the entire thing and uploaded it to Youtube in a series of 10 videos. Keep reading to watch (actually – pretty much just listen) Maci as she talks about everything from breast feeding to her cast mates, to how much money she makes!
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.)
Houston, we don’t have a problem! The pretty gal you see is Miss Skylar Laine from Brandon, Mississippi. She’s a down home southern girl with a country twang and a Broadway background. She’s also a songwriter and has what you might consider to be an unhealthy Miranda Lambert obsession. I thought I’d put together a few pics and her bio as well as a couple of videos in one place so you can get a good idea of who Skylar is and decide for yourself if you think she’s got a chance to become the next American Idol.
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.
Teen Mom Amber Portwood appeared before a judge yesterday in regards to whether or not she was going to be legally evicted from her home. Yes. She had to go to court to find out if she’s evicted from a home that she’s already moved her belongings out of and can’t live in because she’s in jail. Sometimes I wonder about our court system…
The greatest “badonkadon’t try this at home” story ever continued in dramatic fashion as the alleged accomplice of Oneal Ron Morris was attacked during a taping of a Spanish-language show yesterday. The man’s name is Corey Eubank and police believe he was the middle man for the bottom-bulging procedures that Morris would perform using a toxic mixture of items including Fix-a-Flat. He was on the show to defend his innocence but got attacked by an angry mom instead.
Rihanna (might have) gotten a tattoo homage to fallen ’90s rapper Tupac Shakur. Click to see.
For a long time folks have been criticising actress Demi Moore for an apparent unwillingness to act like the adult she is. She caught heat for partying with her daughters, stripping for Snoop Dogg, tweeting bikini photos in her bathroom that look like they came from “that girl” on Facebook and for marrying that much younger Ashton Kutcher dude. Up until the latest piece of news I’ve been like, “whatever,” because she was doing her thing and not really seeming to hurt anyone. So what egregious act has flipped me over to the “team Demi might need to mature a little” crowd? According to sources her recent emergency call to paramedics was because the 49-year-old went semi-conscious from doing whip-its.
One of the 3.2 million viewers who tuned in for the super dramatic episode of Teen Mom 2 Tuesday night was none other than Britney’s little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, who offered her sympathies to broken-hearted Chelsea Houska via Twitter. The two later arranged a tentative play date for their daughters Maddie (3) and Aubree (2)!
There are a lot of things meatballs don’t get along with, and gravity is certainly one of them. Check out this hilarious clip of Jersey Shore star Deena Nicole Cortese doing her best intoxicated Blunder Woman impression by swinging Mike’s exercise bands around her head before getting wrapped up and face planting into a piece of deck furniture. (Keep reading for the full clip, including the hilarious audio!)
