Hef Dishes on Loves New and Old

425shannonhefner010608 Hugh Hefner sat down with E! the other day to discuss his three new girlfriends and his three old girlfriends and, per usual, it was nothing short of nauseating. "The best solution to lost love is new love," Hef tells E! News in an exclusive interview, joined by Karissa and Kristina Shannon and Crystal Harris. So how did these three ladies come to join his blondetourage? Hef reached out to the twins while they were being scouted as Playmates for the magazine's 55th anniversary issue—they moved in about two weeks after he separated from Holly. As for...

Remember Melinda Doolittle?

melinda_doolittle Yeah, that former backup singer from American Idol who had a killer voice but was always SO ANNOYING with the way she handled compliments? Like, "Who, me????" which was really cute for like the first two episodes and then you just wanted to smack her? Anyway, she was a season six contestant (she placed third), and is just now coming out with her debut album, which is kind of an eternity in Idol years. The album, Coming Back to You, hit stores February 3, but you can listen to the first single ...

Jessica Simpson Could Use This Workout Tape Right About Now


Watch Jessica Simpson Speedfit in Video Blogs  |  View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com Listen, I don't claim to really understand what's going on here, but I have been getting emails from the Speedfit guys all morning begging me to run this clip of a (much thinner) Jessica Simpson recording a workout video. Says one email, from a guy named Alex:
Finally the Karma is coming back to hunt her because she did not want to approve the SPEEDFIT Workout Video to help Millions of Fat People ! Now, She will get the feeling how is to be FAT
So, yeah. The story's off to a good start. And here's what Defamer has to say about the whole mess:
Shot in 2005, the taping was a reported disaster (MNSBC reported she showed up drunk), and svendaddy Joe Simpson blocked all sales of the tape, resulting in Speedfit owner Alex Astilean suing the Simpsons for $10 million for breach of contract. An anonymous tipster with a possible axe to grind sent us some of the Speedfit shoot footage. It starts promisingly enough, with Simpson telling us she's here "to introduce you to the Speedfit system." Things fly off the rails soon after, however, when system mastermind Astilean poses a brain-collapsing imponderable: "Do you ever see horses doing a marathon?" (Asked, we suspect, to literally confuse the pounds away.) Then the recorded voice of David Levin—according to this video Simpson's own business manager—plays over footage of Jessica on a treadmill. In discussing the lawsuit, he says the following: "Listen. I think you would be justified in calling her a bitch, in calling Joe an asshole...I think Joe will hire the most powerful lawyer and take that contract and shove it so far up your rectum that you'll never have a Speedfit."
So ... um ... thoughts? Specifically: Do you ever see horses running a marathon? />Watch Jessica Simpson Speedfit in Video Blogs  |  View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com Listen, I don't claim to really understand what's going on here, but I have been getting emails from the Speedfit guys all morning begging me to run this clip of a (much thinner) Jessica Simpson recording a workout video.

Congrats to Kelly Clarkson!!!

kellyclarksoncover I don't even know why, but, for the past few days, I've just been listening to Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" and Pink's "Sober" over and over and over again on a loop in Rhapsody. They're both just kick-ass songs that I can't get enough of. And clearly the rest of the country agrees, as Kelly will have the #1 single in the country this week. She's also setting the record for the largest jump to the #1 spot. She debuted at #97 last week. Her full album drops March 17, ...

Demi Lovato’s Recording a New Album, Wants to Sound Like John Mayer

demi_lovato I will totally admit to being a closet Demi Lovato fan. I actually thought her debut album, Don't Forget, was pretty good. There were a few tracks I hated, but a bunch that I loved, and I'm secretly kind of psyched to hear that she's doing a second album. Okay, I guess it's not really a secret anymore. Also: she'd like it to sound like John Mayer. She actually used the phrase "John Mayer-ish." "I'm actually recording ... well, writing the album right now. It's going to take a different so...

Watch Your Back, Kate Gosselin

apu_babies Someone is looking to give Jon and Kate Gosselin a run for their money -- a woman in Bellflower, California just gave birth to octuplets. She was only expecting seven babies, but once they opened her up for the C-section, they found eight. Sweet. Now what the hell are they going to do with that seven-baby stroller? This is only the second time in history that a human has had eight babies -- the first time was in 1998, and the woman lost one of the babies as an infant. Right now, all eight of the Bel...
