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!)
When Dakota Fred Hurt rolled into Porcupine Creek just as the Hoffman’s were swirling the last bit of black sand out of their first pan of Season Two gold, there was no question who was being cast as the villain in Gold Rush 2. Dakota Fred’s timing and smirk were almost too evil to be plausible, and he became a very easy man to hate. But, does he deserve our disdain, or was it just edited to look that way?
It’s time once again for our weekly dose of Teen Mom 2 hangover medicine in the form of our After Show and bonus footage break down. On this week’s menu we’ve got more of Chelsea’s horrible case of Adamitis, Jenelle’s stand against alcohol and her roommate’s partying, Leah’s explanation as to why she felt her and Corey’s home wasn’t safe and Kailyn’s frustration at her single friends not understanding where she comes from.

A former prosecutor has been accused of getting so fed up with kids ringing her doorbell and running away she grabbed a gun and opened fire. Get the crazy details of this one including the fact that she had the wrong kid, a big ol’ mug shot and how the lady and not the kid has been charged with crimes by the cops.
Project Runway’s Tim Gunn is arguably the most likable star in the history of reality television. If you had a poll I bet he’d win and part of what fires the adoration from his fans is how real he comes across and how candid he often is. Gunn was that and more when he revealed that it has been almost 3 decades since he has had sex. See the clip in which Tim emotionally reveals this very personal and private detail and explains the reasons why he’s had such a long dry spell.
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.”
Singer and actress Demi Lovato is reportedly going back to rehab to be treated for alcohol drug addiction, according to BlindGossip.com Is this true, or a crock of poo?
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.

According to the cover story in the latest issue of OK! magazine, Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer has suffered a miscarriage. An “insider close to the reality star” reveals to the tabloid, “She was having bad cramps for the past two weeks, and then she miscarried.” Leah Messer’s fiance (and father-to-be) Jeremy Calvert reportedly spoke with OK!, saying, “It’s a devastating experience, but all I can do is support Leah and take things day by day.” He then adds, “It’s hard, but we will get through it.”

What if I told you that a somewhat unheralded (chart wise anyways) release from 1992 would fall unquestionably under the title of my all time favorite live country music release? Not only that, but this release features covers only and is a completely acoustic affair. Well, this is exactly what I think of the unstoppable force that is Emmylou Harris and The Nash Ramblers At the Ryman. Take a detailed look back at an underappreciated live giant in the genre of country; a release and artist heralded for reviving The Mother Church of Country Music for which the album garnishes its name.
GTL reigned supreme over the GOP as MTV’s Jersey Shore finished the week ending January 22, 2012 as the most watched basic cable television show, beating out both Republican Presidential debates as well as History Channel powerhouse Pawn Stars and Lifetime’s original movie Drew Peterson: Untouchable. Keep reading for the rest of the Top 25!

45-year-old veteran actress Cynthia Nixon, best known for her role as Miranda Hobbes on HBO’s smash hit Sex and the City, will not let anyone define her gayness even if her position is controversial to many.

Madonna’s film W.E. had its New York premiere last night at the Ziegfeld Theater and those in attendance included Madonna herself, Ewan McGregor, Julia Stiles, Lucy Lawless, Gayle King, and Calvin Klein. But none of those red carpet pros could hold a candle to show-stealing drag queen Lady Bunny who wore an eye-popping ummm… I have no idea.
While playing “Plead the Fifth” on Watch What Happens Live! Monday night The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville revealed that she hooked up with Gerard Butler for a week this summer! Keep reading for all the hot off the presses details!
UPDATED with more juicy deets!
Move over Kardashians, make way for Keeping Up With The Richards!
Keep reading for a ton of Mexican beach vacation photos from one of the best looking families in all of reality television with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, her “Sexiest Real Housewives Husband” Maricio Umansky, and their four lovely daughters: Sophia, Farrah, Alexia, and little Portia.
Just when I find myself chanting along with a number of our commenters, demanding to know the answer to the puzzling questions, “Why do people care about Kim Kardashian?!?” that’s when I usually run across a photo like this one. Suddenly I’m curious to know more about this woman – her family, the rather low quality products she endorses, everything!
But, it seems my own personal weakness may not be shared by everyone, as the Kardashian brand is beginning to be viewed as “toxic” by business insiders. What do you think? Was Kim’s farcical marriage to Kris Humphries the beginning of the end of Kardashian relevance? Or will we all be lulled back into believing that we care by more AMAZING photos of Kim? (I confess I’m feeling really, really lulled right now.)
It’s our weekly “What’s Farrah Abraham up to now?” post! The last time we checked in with MTV’s resident Teen Momtrepreneur she had just revealed the labels for her new “Mom & Me” brand Italian hot sauce. This week she sat down with ACT.MTV.com for an interview in which she revealed her college plans won’t be stopping at a bachelor’s degree and she hopes to help out other teen parents in similar situations by setting up scholarships!
Sometimes roles just stick with an actor and for those of us that go back far enough it’s hard to imagine Matthew McConaughey as anyone other than the never quite got out of high school facial-haired David Wooderson from 1993’s Dazed and Confused. Lucky for us the hunkified actor reprised his role for a music video and man it looks like Wooderson has been L-I-V-I-N while not aging one bit. See the great clip for “Synthesizers” by Butch Walker and the Black Widows and then catch a side-by-side of ’93 Wooderson and ’12 Wooderson.
The rumor mill has been churning out some serious RiRi and Breezy reunited and it feels so good rumors lately but Chris has put all that to and end with an official announcement. Hey. Wait a minute. Shouldn’t it be Rihanna informing the world that Brown ain’t been under her umbrella? Find out about the chance meeting that set the rumors on fire and find out why Rihanna doesn’t need a rep to do her talking!
Ken Aden is running for congress in Arkansas’ 3rd district. His campaign manager arrived home with his four children Sunday night and discovered their family pet, a Siamese cat mix, bludgeoned to death with the word “liberal” scrawled across its body. See the disturbing image (warning – graphic in nature) and read official comments from Aden.
In yet another sign of Britney Spears’ life being back on track it is being reported that her father is looking to legally halt his conservatorship as a wedding gift. Read on for the details and how Britney has managed to do what few were giving her the possibility of only a few short years ago.
At least one person who has quarterbacked for the Denver Broncos is having sex. Former Denver QB Jay Cutler and his fiancée ex-fiancée fiancée Kristin Cavallari have announced they are expecting their first child together!
VH1’s mafia-themed reality series Mob Wives won fans over in its inaugural season with a cast of no-holds-barred drama mamas who were more than capable of both talking the talk and walking the walk! (And by “walking the walk” I mean going tooth and nail in knock-down, drag-out cat fights.) But it only took a couple episodes into the second season for Angela “Big Ang” Raiola to steal the show with her life-loving and drama-averse personality! Oh, and her obvious love of plastic surgery!
Keep reading to see lots of photos of Big Ang when she was A Little Bit Smaller Ang as well as slightly less surgerized.
50-year-old two-time People magazine “Sexiest Man Alive” George Clooney has himself a new girlfriend. Unlike his previous relationships with a former cocktail waitress and a couple of professional models/European television show hosts, 32-year-old Stacy Keibler has a much more colorful resume… as a professional wrestler! Keep reading for a detailed account of her days in the WCW and WWE including videos of her wrestling antics in lingerie, mud, and even a wedding dress – which is sure to have you wondering exactly what sort of shenanigans Stacy and George are up to behind closed doors!
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:
No doubt the top reasons for tuning in to A&E’s Storage Wars are: seeing all the bizarre stuff left behind in storage lockers and how much it’s worth (or not), Barry Weiss, and Brandi Passante. (The order depends on a person’s weakness for collectibles, passion for custom automobiles, and testosterone levels.) For those of you who find yourselves smitten by Jarrod’s whip-cracking significant other (like yours truly) I uncovered these pictures of Brandi taken at the Grand Re-Opening of her and Jarrod’s Now and Then Thrift Store in Orange, California.
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:
At the end of the first season of Gold Rush, the Hoffman crew was on the gold; but the Alaska winter rolled in and they had to move out. They spent the off season dreaming of the fortunes waiting for them in the g|ory h0le that they had worked so long and hard to uncover. But, in Gold Rush 2, Dakota Fred Hurt is working Porcupine Creek, and the Hoffmans are 600 miles North on Quartz Creek in the Klondike? What happened to the Hoffman’s claim? How did Dakota Fred get it?
Watching Beavis and Butt-Head will never be the same thanks to self-employed special effects artist Kevin Kirkpatrick (Sucker Punch, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) who created life-like sculptures of the juvenile cartoonagers for the upcoming art show “Conjoined 2 in 3d; The Sequel” opening at the Copro Gallery on Saturday. If you’re not averse to OMG moments or night terrors, keep reading for the photos! “Heh heh!”
Teen Mom stars Maci Bookout and Catelynn Lowell as well as Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry were all in California recently doing a number of promotional events, including taping an episode of Dr. Drew’s Life Changers. While there, the three gals got together and posed for photographers Adam Bouska and Jeff Parshley in a series of NOH8 photographs opposing the state’s controversial anti-gay marriage legislation, Proposition 8. Keep reading for the photos including an appearance by Maci’s beau Kyle King and a behind-the-scenes shot of Maci and Kailyn!
CMT is about to unleash the outlandish Dowden family from NW Louisiana on the reality landscape. The show is called Bayou Billionaires and it’s like a fish out of water concept as it follows the Dowdens who just so happened to be sitting on the Haynesville Shale, which is one of the largest natural gas producing geological areas in the United States. Find out how this good fortune turns into what they call mailbox money including a video about the Haynesville Shale and additional clips of Gerald and Kitten explaining their good fortune.
The creator, director, and executive producer of AMC’s smash hit zombie drama The Walking Dead was shockingly let go by the network in July and both sides have been quite about what exactly happened. Darabont broke his silence in a recent interview with TV Guide and bitterly explains the reasons he left the show. (Includes my irreproachable argument for why I’m taking Frank Darabont’s side in this squabble as well as every other debate he is involved in ever.)
The CDC has recently released a report based on a survey of thousands of young teenage mothers who had unplanned pregnancies in the U.S. While the pregnancy rate among teenagers is falling we still have the highest rate among all developed countries. Some of the findings in this report highlight probable reasons why.
We’re all about the surreal world of reality TV and one of our favorite parts is when a seemingly ancillary character winds up stealing the spotlight and the hearts of the fan base of a show. The latest greatest example of this phenomenon is Angela “Big Ang” Raiola of Mob Wives. Peeps love em some Big Ang and some have went as far as to get her likeness permanently inked onto their body. Check out the Raiola ink and read some serious big love for “Big Ang” while you’re at it.
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!
Former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Kate Gosselin looked intimidating as usual on the set of Extra earlier today. But, unlike her heyday on TLC, Kate also looked downright (fellow members of the Celebrity Bloggers’ Union forgive me) fierce and sexy. Keep reading to check out the photo and see if you don’t agree. (Now, if she could just get a personality makeover, she might could get a little better gig than being a coupon blogger.)
It seems as though the world may yet be spared the existence of a Kardashians-only magazine as the potential deal with American Media Inc. (Star, National Enquirer, Shape, Radar Online) has reportedly stalled due to Kris Jenner’s demands for complete editorial control over the content. At least ten people are very upset over the the announcement.
Say what you will about Jersey Shore‘s demonstrative little superstar meatball, but no one can argue that Snooki knows how to give fans what they want – and it was clear after Snooki’s makeup-free photo took the internet by storm last night that what they wanted was more all-natural Snooki! Normally, fans wanting more all-natural Snooki would probably have resulted in more nude photos and possibly a rather excruciating naked pole dancing video, but in this case it meant more picture of Snooki completely unSnookified!
Radar posted a story today about Kelly Osbourne claiming from inside sources that the celebrity had gone off the rails on a crazy train by falling off the wagon. Kelly, who has been sober since February of 2009, reminded the world that she is Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter by putting the site and the report on blast. Read what these inside sources had to say about Kelly and then catch her very succinct replies.
The Mob Wives 2nd season is going strong and one of the interesting trends I’ve noticed about the show is how popular it is among celebrities. There’s just something about the bombastic Staten Island fairies that appeals to folks in the spotlight. Two of the show’s outspoken fans, Queen Latifah and Wendy Williams, took their Drita devotion and Renee rhapsody a notch further by impersonating them in a scene from a skit on Wendy’s show called “Hairpiece Theater.” Check out the really funny clip and get Drita and Renee’s reaction.
An insider reveals in the latest issue of Star magazine that Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry has has multiple relationships with women since middle school, including an on-and-off-again relationship with her good friend Gigi Hanna. We talked with a source close to Kailyn and have every reason to believe this story is true. Keep reading for all the details!
Jessica Simpson continues to stake her chicken of the sea claim as the celeb queen of incidental awkward moments. In a recent tweet our girl Jess revealed to the world a rather interesting mask that she donned to a recent bachelorette party. Warning, this may be offensive to some readers and to some eternal souls!
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!
See a mind-blowing photo of Jersey Shore star Snooki completely without makeup and then put your brain back together with the very same photo run through the “Snookify Me” app. (Seriously – the makeupless Snooki is downright exotically gorgeous don’t ya think?!?)
In this line of business you hear some pretty wild and uninformed statements from celebrities. I usually sit on the ol’ fence and try to imagine what it would be like if everything I said became quotable and not judge too harshly. But the most recent comment attributed to actor Mark Wahlberg has blown my mind. Read on for what very well may be the biggest foot-in-mouth comment I can recall from a celebrity in years.
Fox’s standard bearer for competition reality shows, American Idol, kicks off its 11th season tonight at 8/7c and will air on Wednesday and Thursday nights for the next few months. But, starting February 5, it won’t be alone as NBC’s The Voice will begin its 2nd season right after the Super Bowl. (After the premiere, The Voice will air every Monday night.) Could this be the beginning of the end of Idol, or is this an overly bold move by NBC? And let us know know which show you will be tuned into by taking our poll!
It’s Wednesday, world which means starcasm is collectively recovering from another night of Teen Mom 2 tweeting.

This week we have Jenelle coming to grips with the fact that she might have a problem with the weed, Leah explains that Corey isn’t a good communicator and that vague geneticists are frustrating, Chelsea dives further into the depths of her Adam despair worrying that perhaps she isn’t attractive enough for him and Kailyn explains what Joe’s problem is with the child support situation.
While many sites on these here interwebs have blacked out to protest SOPA perhaps the toddlers of our great nation have silently pulled off a massive coup by getting the original Wiggle singer-gangsta Greg Page back in the fold. Find out why Greg originally said goodbye to Dorothy the Dinosaur and Captain Feathersword and how his replacement Sam has dealt with being told to “Z Ya.” Beauty mate!
