This is Huge!

So, it looks like Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi are leaving American Idol this season, and it looks like J. Lo (does she even go by "J. Lo" anymore, or is it back to Jennifer Lopez again? I never do know.) is slated to take Ellen's place. According to Ellen, the show just wasn't a fit:
“A couple months ago, I let FOX and the American Idol producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me ... I told them I wouldn’t leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on Idol and I am very grateful for the year I had, I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”
As for why Kara's leaving? According to TMZ, she was fired. FIRED. STBY, Kara. You never really did it for me, anyway. And there's a possibility of Steven Tyler taking Kara's place? Damn. Producers are really pulling out the big guns: Jennifer Lopez! Steven Tyler! Randy Jackson! Starring in: It's Not Even American Idol Anymore, Who the Fuck's Gonna Watch This Shit Now! />So, it looks like Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi are leaving American Idol this season, and it looks like J.

Quotables

"I dyed my hair the whole time on Friends. I just was sick of doing it." Matt LeBlanc on his now-magically grey hair. I guess we're supposed to be surprised. Or say something like, "Oh, Joey, you zany, zany Tribbiani, you, keeping this kind of stuff from us!" But I'm not surprised. And I'm not going to do much gushing about the fact that LeBlanc's hair is completely grey. Probably because I was never really a big Friends fan, believe it or not. [Waits with bated breath for the armies of Friends syndication past to show up at my door, armed with explosives.] />"I dyed my hair the whole time on Friends. I just was sick of doing it."

OK, I’m Confirming That Miranda Kerr is Pregnant

I've been reading all over the webs over the past twenty-four hours that Miranda Kerr is pregnant, and a lot of the stories seem kind of vague in their confirmations. This one says that Orlando "accidentally" leaked it to hotel staff, another one features Heidi Klum talking about how adorable a Mirlando child will be, so you know what? I'm taking this fucking ball, and I'm running with it. MIRANDA KERR'S PREGNANT! OMG! WTF! WOW! OK, now that we've got that covered, multiple sources have confirmed that Kerr's carrying the offspring of Orlando Bloom in her womb (hey, that rhymes ... if you pronounce womb correctly, anyway; I've heard stranger things), and I really think it's true. Miranda sat for an interview earlier in the year and stated that she'd love nothing more than to settle down and raise kids on a solar-powered farm somewhere out in God's country. So, girl, here's your chance. Orlando must be stoked. You turned him down twice (that we're aware of), so maybe he just decided to take matters into his own hands and "fake" a condom or accidentally toss one of your birth control pills down the drain. Oopsie! A preemptive congratulations to the parents to be! />I've been reading all over the webs over the past twenty-four hours that Miranda Kerr is pregnant, and a lot of the stories seem kind of vague in their confirmations.

Ready For Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides?

So! The first teaser trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides emerges, and it first debuted at Comic-Con, believe it or not. I'm really stoked about this movie. Yeah, Orlando Bloom won't be in it as he'll be raising a baby Bloom on a solar-powered farm somewhere, and Keira Knightley is probably off shagging Rupert Friend in black satin sheets somewhere in the most uber-chic districts of London, but I'm alright with Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz. That'll definitely sate my appetite for more Pirates. I've been cr...

Move Over, Jon Bon Jovi

Or are you the "friend" behind this recording? No? Yeah, I didn't think so. TMZ has learned that Michael Lohan penned a heartwarming love song for his very own lawbreaker junior, Lindsay. As far as I can tell from the refrain, the title of the song is "A Father's Love Will Never Die." But it could also be "I Love You So Much," or "My Love For You is Alive," or maybe even "Always Daddy's Little Girl." Oh, or "I Miss You So Much." Any one of them would work, really -- they're all so classically beautiful and ... poignant. You can listen to it here, and weigh in on the masterpiece that is clearly this song. ... Oh God. How horribly cheesy, embarrassing, and self-righteous. Precisely what you'd expect from Michael Lohan himself. Great job on staying true to yourself, guy. Do what you do best. />Or are you the "friend" behind this recording? No? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Love It or Leave It: Rumer Willis’ Private School Look

Now, I'll be honest with you -- I don't know why Rumer Willis gets so much flak for looking the way she does. I actually think she's quite attractive, albeit in an unconventional way. Yeah, she's got a big chin, but so does Jay Leno (and Lordy, his is much, much bigger). He's still got fans and probably admirers, too, right? Exactly. But whatever -- what do you think of the outfit? Is it flattering her figure, or should it have stayed in the closet? I hate the shoes (gladiator sandals should just be killed until they die from it), but the rest of the outfit? Looking good, Rumer. />Now, I'll be honest with you -- I don't know why Rumer Willis gets so much flak for looking the way she does.

Ah, the Things We Learn in Jail

We don't learn our lessons, and we don't internally reflect on what's important in life and what can be cast aside -- we make sure we emerge looking "beautiful" and "gorgeous," and we make sure that's what everyone around us is focusing on, too. Remorse? No. Recovery? Fuck no! It's all about the looks, baby, and that's precisely what Lindsay Lohan's asshole lawyer is saying now, more or less. Shawn Chapman Holley, the first lawyer to bail on Lindsay and her sad (read: pathetic) situation, says: "She looks gorgeous. … She's writing a lot. She's creating art," says Holley. "She's a beautiful, talented, creative woman, and she's going to come out and surprise you all!" You know, that's great and all that you have the support (for now) of your lawyer, Linds, but maybe you should talk some sense into her. Maybe you should tell her that the whole point of this entire jail thing was not to emerge looking "beautiful" or to "make art," but it was to make some serious decisions about avoiding behavior that's going to make you dead, kid. There's nothing flowery and butterfly-y about that shit. I don't give a flaming crap what you look like once you get out of the hoosegow, as long as you've learned your lesson and are willing to change your ways, girl. />We don't learn our lessons, and we don't internally reflect on what's important in life and what can be cast aside -- we make sure we emerge looking "beautiful" and "gorgeous," and we make sure that's what everyone around us is focusing on, too.

Sophia Bush Puts Urban Outfitters in Their Place

Sophia Bush, whom I've never really cared to investigate, nor have I ever watched One Tree Hill so it made it hard to really care about who she was, has made some comments recently regarding a piece of apparel at Urban Outfitters (a store I normally love) and after hearing her take on their product, I'm definitely Team Sophia. The article of clothing in question, a shirt that cries "Eat Less," is for sale at Urban Outfitters, and it obviously rubbed Bush (and many consumers) the wrong way. She took to her personal blog to address the situation and pulled no punches:
Ladies! This is OUTRAGEOUS. I hope none of you will stand for being told such a thing, in such a way. Being healthy, eating right, and staying active is one thing. Being told to starve yourselves by a fashion company? Not cool. UO, I have been a supporter of your store for many years, but now I’m through. I am fortunate enough to star on a wonderful TV show called One Tree Hill. I play a fashion designer named Brooke Davis, who started a campaign on the show called “Zero Is Not A Size” and the outpouring of love and gratitude that came my way from girls and women ALL OVER THE WORLD who have body image issues brought me to tears. To promote starvation? To promote anorexia, which leads to heart disease, bone density loss, and a slew of other health problems, not least of all psychological issues that NEVER go away? Shame on you. I will no longer be shopping ... Read More

You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

Remember when Katharine McPhee was just a gawky American Idol contestant who had a pretty decent singing voice and you couldn't figure out whether you liked her or you didn't care either way? I mean, you could say kind of the same thing about Carrie Underwood except, of course, Carrie Underwood's kind of a superstar, and Katharine McPhee is here at a reception for Expedition Blue Planet's "A Night With Alexandra Cousteau," raving about her shoes, which are Steve Madden.  I guess I can't wig too much; it's a huge step forward that McPhee's no longer blonde and has gone back to her roots of brunette -- no pun intended. So yeah.  You've come a long way from "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree," girl. But you really need to keep your lips zipped over this whole Steve Madden thing if you ever want to work in this town again.

How Completely and Utterly Surprising

So, Bristol Palin has decided to suck even more fame from her surroundings by discussing, now, how she told her mama dukes that she and Levi Johnston were "re-engaged." Bristol, naturally, sits with Us Weekly and dishes on what it was like breaking the news to former Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin (though I was under the impression that Brisol and Levi had done the initial interview about getting back together and claimed that Sarah didn't know -- even at that point? Oh, fuck it, I'm confused and it's all because there's a Palin involved.): You said you were really scared to tell your mom. How did it go? I just called her. I said, “Hey, mom, I have something to tell you. Levi and I got engaged.” So she didn’t find out from the magazine. Her reaction? She’s apprehensive and concerned about this. She doesn’t want to see me get hurt again. She knew Levi and I had been talking, but she wanted to know if Levi was really sincere about this. I told her we were working on our relationship for Tripp, and she told me, “Actions will speak louder than words.”… So how is your family reacting to the news? What I’ve done is starting to sink in, and every family member of mine has so many concerns - and that is scaring me. My dad is on the same page as my mom: They don’t want to see me get hurt. They don’t want to see again what I already went through with Levi… people are more worried for me than they are excited. Have the cautious reactions made you consider a longer engagement? Yeah, definitely. I’m realizing now, the more people talk about an actual wedding, how much work it’ll be. And I know Levi and I have a lot to do to rebuild this relationship. Some still speculate you got engaged only because you’re pregnant. Levi and I both said we won’t have sex until marriage, and so there is no possible way I am pregnant. Others say your engagement is a publicity stunt to get a reality show. We get offers all the time to do reality shows, but it’s not for me. I don’t think I’d ever consider it. It wouldn’t suit our lifestyle, and I don’t want that invasion of privacy. What if Levi wanted to do one without you? We haven’t really addressed it, but I don’t think he would want to because it’s not in anyone’s interest to have a camera crew around all the time. ... Yeah, OK, guys. />So, Bristol Palin has decided to suck even more fame from her surroundings by discussing, now, how she told her mama dukes that she and Levi Johnston were "re-engaged."
