Amanda Bynes is out of rehab now and hopefully headed for a better life but it unfortunately doesn't erase past events. Thankfully, one of Bynes's "victims" (to quote Radar Online) forgives her for her destruction. Her name is Bonnie Braate, and 4 months ago, Ms. Bynes set fire to her driveway for no apparent reason. Ms. Braate had this to say to Radar:
I just hope she got better. I’m glad she’s getting treated at home, people don’t get over drug addiction overnight. There’s nothi...
Macaulay Culkin has a band, and if there's an award for most hipster band with a sense of humor, this wins it. The band is called The Pizza Underground, and it's a sort of tribute band for Lou Reed's The Velvet Underground (RIP, Lou Reed. Hope you would have enjoyed this). Tracks include:
"I'm Waiting for Delivery Man" (spoofing "I'm Waiting For The Man").
"All The Pizza Parties" ("All Tomorrow's Parties").
"Cheese Days" ("These Days").
"Papa John Says" ("Stephanie Says").
"Take...
Dakota Johnson, who is playing Anastasia in Fifty Shades of Grey, is staying in shape for the role by drinking some very expensive juice from a company called The Juice Box. Director Sam Taylor-Johnson is also partaking in the rich people drink. Here's what an "insider" (read: Juice Box spokesperson) told E Online,
They order the organic cold-press juices. They love them. They have a standing order for them. [They] are not doing a cleanse and are basically drinking a couple each day.
Okay, now f...
Katy Perry sat down with Marie Claire and told them everything about her love life, specifically, why she and now-boyfriend John Mayer took some time off. Personally, I've always thought that he broke up with her and not the other way around, but Ms. Perry makes it seem like she needed to take time away from Mayer to deal with feelings she had about ex-husband Russell Brand. From Marie Claire:
I took a break from my boyfriend, not one that I wanted. It was like a splash of cold water to search inward on what was going on with me. That is what led me to this new aw...
Kanye West said something over-the-top and ridiculous -- how incredibly unusual for him! He never does that. Ever. So this time, Kanye said that he "literally" risks his life every time he performs live and that it's like "being in war." Seriously. From an interview he did with SaturdayNightOnline via NBC News:
Like, I’m just giving of my body on the stage; I’m putting my life at risk, literally! I think about when I’m on the ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing,’ and ‘Coldest Winter’ moment, like...
Britney Spears just turned 32 and seems to have it all, except for one important thing -- a baby girl. She's got 2 boys she loves dearly, but she wants her own "mini-me" and that's something she thinks she can get from a baby girl. From InStyle via Huffington Post:
I would like to be busy the first couple of years, but then I would really like to have another baby, a girl. I think she would be like a mini-me. I think it’s going to be crazy. I’m not going to feel as alone in the world anymo...
Selena Gomez, dressed like a goth version of Velma Kelly from Chicago, had a really rough set at KIIS FM's 2013 Jingle Ball. How rough? So rough that she cut it short and cursed her way off the stage. Hardcore, Selena. From Us Weekly:
The 21-year-old star got held up during her performance on stage when her audio and mic malfunctioned. Her reaction? The "Slow Down" singer dropped the f-bomb and later walked off stage before finishing her set.
"Sorry, the sound isn't working!" Gomez was he...
Barron Hilton, Paris Hilton's little bro, got attacked after a party and he blamed Lindsay Lohan for the beating, saying she ordered it. Like she's this huge mob boss and we're all living in her city and we're just lucky to be here or something. Well now the guy who punched Barron (someone named Ray Lemoine) says that Lindsay Lohan wasn't involved. TMZ has all the details:
We're told Ray had been renting the house for a few days -- and allowed LiLo to stay there because she was a friend of a friend ... but claims Hilton got all pissy whe...
Carrie Underwood thinks you need Jesus -- that is, if you're "mean". She tweeted the night after her Sound of Music live NBC special aired (to mostly dismal reviews),
Plain and simple: Mean people need Jesus. They will be in my prayers tonight... 1 Peter 2:1-25
Was she possibly responding to Kym Karath who played Gretl Von Trapp in the original film? Ms. Karath live-tweeted the show. Some highlights (lowlights?):
Mystified & disappointed so far by SOM special. So far only happy with Stephen M...
Ellen DeGeneres is bringing the gold lately. First she gave us "Mad Men Without Cigarettes". Now she and wife Portia de Rossi are participating in what I hope will be a time-honored tradition: making fun of Kim and Kanye's "Bound2" music video. Seth Rogen and James Franco already did it, so now it's Ellen and Portia's turn. They spoofed the video for their Christmas card (above). Nice work, ladies! Sure beats the Kardashian Christmas card (of which Ellen joked, "It is real, I've been staring...
Susan Boyle's video of her auditioning for Britain's Got Talent will forever make me cry tears of joy, so I'll always hold a place in my heart for her. Yes, I cry at that video. Sometimes you need a good cry.
Anyway. Ms. Boyle revealed that she has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. She's being very honest and brave about it so I say, you go Boyle, even if I think the idea of Meryl Streep starring as you in a film is ludicrous. But that's not important right now. From BBC News:
The star, w...
Rebecca Black is poking fun fun fun at her "Friday" hit with her new song, "Saturday". She's proved she can actually sing -- she covered Miley's "We Can't Stop" and maybe I'm insane but I thought it wasn't horrible -- so I'm not sure why exactly she's doing this, other than to try to get back on our radars and be cheeky. Because the thing is, 15 seconds in, I was ready to turn it off. The vocals are so...let's say, classic Rebecca Black.
But unlike "Friday", the production values are, well, existent, and it seems like a lot of ...
