KE$HA Ke$ha & Her Kitty Catch A Cab

‘Die Young‘ singer Ke$ha and her kitty, Mr. Peep$, caught a cab in New York City yesterday afternoon. I’m surprised Ke$ha was allowed to get into a cab with her cat out like that, instead of being in a carrier. … Continue reading �

Soap Dish: Eileen Davidson Back To Y&R?

It is Soap Dish time again and this week I am dishing all about the news that Eileen Davidson is headed back to The Young & The Restless! I know the column has been MIA for a couple of weeks but I am back and this is one heck of a juicy topic. Whether you love�her as Ashley Abbott on The Young and The Restless or as Kristen Blake DiMera�on Days of Our Lives and soon she will be pulling double duty, kind of.�Daytime Confidential broke the news that Davidson would soon be making a trip back to Genoa City, where Ashely will have some pivotal� scenes with her brother Jack, played by the very talented Peter Bergman. Plus Ash of course has to come back for Victor and Nicki’s wedding, which is the other reason for her return. Eileen shared that she will be back at Y&R for a few days but it will not impact her current role on DOOL. As I said fans will get to see her play the two roles that have made her a daytime legend. Wondering how it could be that Davidson could be playing two different roles, on two different networks? Well [...]

Mark Strong Talks 'Beautiful, Epic' 'Day Of The Falcon'

by Ryan Rigley Mark Strong is a man of many talents; chief among those talents being his uncanny ability to portray larger than life movie villains. He's already played dozens of memorable antagonists (in such films as "Green Lantern," "Sherlock Holmes," "Kick-Ass" and "Body of Lies") but never before has the British-born actor taken on [...]

Chrisette Michele, Nick Cannon AND Rasheeda & Kirk All TAKE OVER "KONTROL" COVERS

 photo Kontrol_MakeItBetter_Chrisette_Cover_HiRes-resized-1.jpeg

Despite landing the cover of KONTROL Magazine, Chrisette Michele had a rough week that included a trip to the hospital.  Find out what happened inside and see her, Nick Cannon plus "LAHH ATL" stars Rasheeda and Kirk on their own covers of KONTROL.

 

In the March/April issue of KONTROL, Chrisette Michele commands the cover and uses the interview to establish her independence as an artist.  She talks about how she felt once she realized the industry was stripping away her individuality and how she reclaimed herself.  She said,

“My weakest moment in my musical career came when I almost decided to leave the industry completely because I didn’t know that I could say no and do things on my own. I relied on the ‘experts’ to tell me what I needed and I thought maybe I wasn’t strong enough to say no.”

Though Chrisette was able to find her inner voice and take KONTROL, one thing she couldn't control her appendix.  She was forced to cancel an appearance in NY's Times Square this week following a hospital visit to treat a ruptured appendix.  OUCH. Fortunately, she's okay now.  

Following a speedy recovery, she'll join Keyshia Cole on the Woman to Woman Tour starting on March 28 in Westbury, New York where she'll also promote her upcoming album Better (April 30th).

Watch BTS footage here:

 

Chrisette's shoot was captured by Allen Cooley, styled by Julian Lark with additional styling by Zamar Lewis and Jae’ Dumas.

And.....

 

 photo Kontrol_MakeItBetter_Nick_Cover_HiRes-resized.jpeg

Nick Cannon also landed his own KONTROL cover for the March/April issue.  Inside the mag, he opens up about his marriage to Mariah Carey as well as his health concerns regarding his kidneys.  And he gives sweet fatherly advice to his kiddies.  Here are the highlights:

Nick’s take on fashion

“I believe fashion is all about making a statement. Whenever you put something on as long as it’s saying something…You play with colors and textures it’s all about really just making that statement.” And when the topic of designers comes up? Cannon says without hesitation, “Right now I’d have to go with Tom Ford. The fact that he kind of goes over the top but still knows how to keep it classy.”

His advice for Roc and Roe

Roe: “If you respect yourself, [men] will respect you. As soon as you give away your dignity, whatever you believe that to be, that’s when people will start to treat you as such.

Roc: “Go hard! Simple. Whatever it is. Just don’t be mediocre at anything. Anything you try, try to be the best you can possible be.”

For Nick's cover, he was shot by Jonavennci Divad and styled by Julian Lark.

The Chrisette/Nick covers are available March 4th at Barnes & Noble.

 

And for the digital issue...

Vampire Diaries: Stand by Me Recap

Wow, I just finished watching the Vampire Diaries: Stand by Me and I am left feeling depressed and well, uggh, is all I can think to say. I am not excited for future episodes, and I am hoping that is poor promotion on their part. ***SPOILERS******SPOILERS******SPOILERS******SPOILERS******SPOILERS******SPOILERS******SPOILERS******SPOILERS*** So it is final, Jeremy is dead, Elena has lost everyone in her family! How much can a person take? It looks like the ring no longer can save him because Jeremy was one of the five vampire hunters, meaning he had super natural powers. I was wondering why they had him playing such a strong role this season, and now we know – it was to attach us to his character only to rip our hearts out. Blah. And poor Elena – I have been saying she is such a weakling – such a needy, crybaby. But this episode – she can cry all she wants. I did. Stefan and Damon came together to be strong and do what is best for Elena, showing they both have unconditional love for her. But now she has no humanity – at least there is hope she will be fun now. Other crap we found out [...]

FOOLERY: Did J.R. Smith REALLY Ask A HIGH SCHOOL Chick...."You Trying To Get The Pipe?"

 photo url-4-2.jpeg

Notorius heartthrob J.R. Smith is making headlines for flirting with a high school chick on twitter and offering her...the pipe.  See their Twitter exchange inside....

 

Earlier, K. Michelle revealed that her upcoming Rebellious Soul album is based on her "romance" with NY Kicks baller J.R. Smith, so it made us wonder what it is about the baller that makes him "inspire" women?   We see that he's cute in that bad boy way and has a body full of sexy tattoos, but we just found out he's also a poet....and so eloquent with his words!

 photo ScreenShot2013-02-22at101151AM.png

J.R. just got put on blast for flirting via DM with a chick who's a senior in high school.  Now before you start giving him that R. Kelly side-eye, reports state the chick in question lives in Pennsylvania (where the age of consent is 16).   And since we know the Knicks played the 76ers the night of the 26th, we have to wonder if the chick followed through......

After the private conversation went viral...

 photo ScreenShot2013-02-22at102112AM.png

J.R. posted this pic to his Instagram account.  Because it's clear from the conversation, he was simply offering the student a choice of pipes that he apparently sells. Even ballers could have a side hustle....

Good try dude....

Britney Spears' Big 2011: From A Smash Album To A Ring On Her Finger

A decade into her career, the pop megastar reinvented herself this year as the ultimate Femme Fatale and made a big commitment to Jason Trawick.
By Jocelyn Vena

<P>Maybe <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/spears_britney/artist.jhtml">Britney Spears</a>' lucky number is 30. The singer turned 30 this year, marking the landmark birthday on December 2 with a fan-voted MTV News tournament that crowned <a href="/news/articles/1675289/britney-spears-tournament-winner-30th-birthday.jhtml">the Best Britney Video of All Time</a>. But her 30th year also proved to be an incredibly successful period in her career. </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:720934/cp~vid%3D720934%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A720934" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P>For the first time in a while, she seemed comfortable being the pop megastar that she is. More than a decade into her career, Spears re-emerged as a <a href="/news/articles/1675474/britney-spears-femme-fatale-favorite-album.jhtml"><i>Femme Fatale,</i></a> giving fans a fist-pumping album, embarking on a flashy tour and dropping more memorable music videos. Britney Spears fandom was reenergized as the singer came out of her shell, opening up about this phase in her career as well her personal life in several high-profile interviews. So it's probably not surprising that Spears will cap off the year at #4 on MTV News' <a href="/news/articles/1676177/newsmakers-2011-lady-gaga-amy-winehouse.jhtml">Top Newsmakers of 2011</a> list, just behind Lil Wayne. </P><P> </P><P>"When I was younger, I was busy, busy, and I was always singing and dancing all the time.

But no vid stirred up as much controversy as her <a href="/news/articles/1672795/britney-spears-criminal-video-director.jhtml">"Criminal" clip</a>, which featured real-life boyfriend <a href="/news/articles/1676120/britney-spears-is-engaged.jhtml">(now fianc&#233;) Jason Trawick</a> &#8212; and his abs. </P><P> </P><P>"At the end of the day, Jason killed it," Piliero told MTV News of Trawick's cameo. "That was one of those things I was really stoked [about], as much as I went into it like, 'Wow, he's not an actor. This is going to be interesting,' but I really do like a challenge, and I really do like the idea that I'm a director and my job is to direct and get the performance. For me, it was a fun challenge to be like, 'I'm gonna make sure that you are awesome,' and he was." </P><P> </P><P>Between video shoots, Spears hit the road with <a href="/news/articles/1668836/nicki-minaj-britney-spears-tour.jhtml">the likes of Nicki Minaj</a>, Joe Jonas, and DJ Pauly D.

She also had tongues wagging after an onstage kiss from Jo (a.k.a. Lady Gaga), just before she was honored with an electrifying dance tribute that highlighted some of biggest career moments. </P><P> </P><P>"It was really crazy. I had no idea what to expect," Spears told us backstage at the VMAs. "The kids were amazing and so entertaining, and it was a really fun night. It was really cool.

The competition was heated but in the end, Spears' iconic "I'm a Slave 4 U" took home the prize.

Beyonce May Star In Ryan Murphy Flick 'One Hit Wonders'

Simon Cowell Squashes Beyonce, Mariah Carey 'X Factor' Rumors

Judge also takes shot at 'The Voice,' asking, 'How many artists have they discovered?'
By John Mitchell

<P>Simon Cowell is finally opening up about the cast shakeups on "The X Factor" as well as about rumors that two <i>very</i> famous divas are in talks to join Fox's reality singing competition. </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Simon Cowell Compares The British And U.S. Versions Of 'X Factor'" id="vid:698604.id:1672066" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>Late last month, it was announced that judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones had been <a href="/news/articles/1678191/paula-abdul-exits-x-factor.jhtml"><P>id="1678191">fired from "X Factor"</a> and would be replaced in its second season. The announcement came as a shock to fans, but Cowell tells <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/simon-cowell-x-factor-firings-voice-287806" target="_blank">"Extra"</a> in an interview airing Wednesday (February 8) that the decision was a long time coming and was ultimately made "at the beginning of the year &#8212; and we were told it had to happen straight away." </P><P> </P><P>While her dismissal came as a surprise, Cowell says Abdul "was very gracious" about it. "She understands it's business," Cowell said of his real-life friend. "It's never personal." </P><P> </P><P>Scherzinger, according to Cowell, was "disappointed" with the producers' decision to replace her. But the former Pussycat Doll insisted in a new <a href="http://www.accesshollywood.com/nicole-scherzinger-talks-x-factor-departure-i-have-no-regrets_article_60184" target="_blank">"Access Hollywood"</a> interview that she "had a wonderful experience on the show." </P><P> </P><P>"What happened? Well, all I know is that I gave 110 percent to that show," she said. "I know everybody's talking about it, they're saying good, bad, they love me or hate me, but the one thing you can't say is that I didn't give it my all." </P><P> </P><P>Cowell also used his time with "Extra" to squash rumors that Beyonc&#233; or Mariah Carey might be joining the "X Factor" team when it returns to Fox later this year. He seemed particularly amused by <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/08/idUS114237084820120208" target="_blank">talk</a> that the show was offering Beyonc&#233; a nine-figure contract to join the judges' table. </P><P> </P><P>"The budget for the show is $100 million. That would never ever happen. </P><P> </P><P>It's absolute nonsense," he told "Extra." "No one is going to pay $100 million for someone. I genuinely haven't had a conversation with her about it. Not at all." </P><P> </P><P>The same can be said for Carey, who Cowell said he likes very much and would be a fine addition to the show but is an impractical choice because of the long hours involved. "I adore her, love her," he said. </P><P>"But you can't expect someone who has just had two kids [and] has a record career to make the kind of commitment we would need on this show." </P><P> </P><P>"X Factor" did not perform as strongly as expected in the ratings last fall, which many feel precipitated the planned revamp, though the ever-cool Cowell is not sweating the competition. In this latest interview, Cowell took on "The Voice," which returned to NBC after the Super Bowl and delivered big ratings, saying the makeup of his judging panel is what sets "X Factor" apart. </P><P> </P><P>"I would ask how many records have they made, how many artists have they discovered?" Cowell asked of "The Voice" mentors Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. "That's where we have to be different on the judging panel. It's very important that you have people on the panel that have actually signed and made artists successful all over the world, not just have made hit records yourself."</p>

Usher Surprises Clive Davis On "Katie" As Clive Reveals His Own BISEXUALITY

 photo r131347_DSC_1497_zps215c7c20.jpg

Usher will make a surprise appearance for his mentor Clive Davis on today's upcoming taped episode of "Katie".  But it's what Clive reveals in his new memoir, which he's now on a media tour for, that has everybody's eyebrows raised.

 

Check out one of music's biggest head honchos, Clive, revealing his bisexuality...

Usher jetted into NYC early just to surprise the man who created the label where he got his start, Clive Davis.  The 80-year-old recording industry exec has written his new memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life, and has opened up about his incredible career of being the man behind artists like Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and especially legends like Whitney Houston, Gil Scott Heron and Aretha Franklin.  He also helped Babyface and L.A. Reid create LaFace records and Diddy create Bad Boy.

So with such a prolific career, especially in R&B acts and Rock acts, we're sure there are some tales to be told.

USHER said about Clive during the show:

But-- he-- you know, just to kinda give you a, I guess, a testament of-- of the pay it forward. You know, without that artist development and that ability to understand how to-- present myself and have an understanding of style, I would not be in the position to be, you know, a coach on The Voice-- and-- and-- introduce talent like Justin Bieber and-- writers like Rico Love, who was...my actual first artist, who went on to be an incredible writer and also producer. But-- you know, without that artist development of Arista and LaFace Records, I wouldn't be the mentor that I am today.

In the memoir, Clive gives detail about Whitney Houston's denial of being drug addict and the interventions he says he attempted to stage.  He also used the last 5 pages of his book to make a big reveal--that he's bisexual and is currently in a relationship with another man.

USA Today reports:

Davis, who is twice divorced, remains close to his family, which includes three sons, a daughter and six grandchildren, and to friends, with whom he vacations regularly. Soundtrack's aforementioned personal revelation acknowledges "something that my children and close friends have always known, but that I knew I would need to discuss in a biography": He considers himself bisexual.

"After my second marriage failed, I met a man who was also grounded in music. Having only had loving relationships and sexual intimacy with women, I opened myself up to the possibility that I could have that with a male, and found that I could."

Davis is currently involved with another man (who isn't in show business), "but I never stopped being attracted to women. Bisexuality is misunderstood; the adage is that you're either straight or gay or lying, but that's not my experience. To call me anything other than bisexual would be inaccurate."

Very interesting.  He may speak about it on today's episode of "Katie."  A preview is below:

Usher Surprises Clive Davis On "Katie" As Clive Reveals His Own BISEXUALITY

 photo r131347_DSC_1497_zps215c7c20.jpg

Usher will make a surprise appearance for his mentor Clive Davis on today's upcoming taped episode of "Katie".  But it's what Clive reveals in his new memoir, which he's now on a media tour for, that has everybody's eyebrows raised.

 

Check out one of music's biggest head honchos, Clive, revealing his bisexuality...

Usher jetted into NYC early just to surprise the man who created the label where he got his start, Clive Davis.  The 80-year-old recording industry exec has written his new memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life, and has opened up about his incredible career of being the man behind artists like Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and especially legends like Whitney Houston, Gil Scott Heron and Aretha Franklin.  He also helped Babyface and L.A. Reid create LaFace records and Diddy create Bad Boy.

So with such a prolific career, especially in R&B acts and Rock acts, we're sure there are some tales to be told.

Lady Gaga Opens Up About Sometimes Feeling 'Worthless'

Singer discusses being bullied as a child and her plan not to speak to the media 'for a very long time' on 'Oprah's Next Chapter.'
By Jocelyn Vena

<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lady_gaga/artist.jhtml">Lady Gaga</a> confessed she wants to have enough children to form a <a href="/news/articles/1681179/lady-gaga-oprah-winfreys-next-chapter-own.jhtml">"soccer team"</a> when she sat down with talk show maven Oprah Winfrey for "Oprah's Next Chapter." In the intimate chat, which took place at Gaga's childhood home in New York City, the never-press-shy Gaga made another big announcement. </P><P> </P><P><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:749701/cp~vid%3D749701%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A749701" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> </P><P> </P><P>"Other than this interview, Oprah, I don't intend to speak to anyone for a very long time. I have to shut out the noise," Mother Monster told Winfrey, according to <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/oprah-lady-gaga-interview-2012-bullying-childhood-oprahs-next-chapter-recap-highlights-video/" target="_blank">Gossip Cop</a>. "The latest thing I do is I don't read a damn thing. No press, no television. If my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on ... I shut it all off." </P><P> </P><P>Gaga's mother was on hand for parts of the interview, sharing that in Gaga's early days, her father thought she had a "screw loose" while she was performing at downtown New York nightclubs in her bra while lighting hairspray on fire. The superstar added that there's one thing about her current act that her mother isn't a big fan of. </P><P> </P><P>"She doesn't like when I swear," Gaga said, with her mother adding, "You're effective without it." </P><P> </P><P>Another part of the candid chat also focused on Gaga's youth, during which she said she was frequently bullied. "There really is no difference between the bully and the victim," she said. "I would like to do a psychological autopsy on as many bullies and victims as possible ... How do we understand what breeds hatred, what breeds anger?" </P><P>She added that despite all "all the praise you receive, something inside of you is scarred by those experiences. ... Sometimes I feel worthless." </P><P>Parts of the special were also filmed at Harvard University last month. </P><P> </P><P>The singer and the talk show host were on hand at the prestigious college to launch Gaga's <a href="/news/articles/1680176/lady-gaga-launches-born-this-way-foundation-harvard.jhtml"><i>Born This Way</i> Foundation</a>. </P><P> </P><P>"I just have one thing to say before we get started: We got Oprah! ... Thank you from all of us &#8212; from my entire team, from my mother, from the bottom of the hearts of so many people who believe in what we're doing today," Gaga said at the launch. She explained that the foundation seeks to empower the youth of America, adding, "How can we inspire young people to know they have the power to be brave?"</p>

Maya Rudolph Pregnant With Baby #4

Up All Night actress Maya Rudolph is pregnant with baby number four. Yes the funny woman is going to be a mom again, woot woot! Maya and her long time partner writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson are going to be parents again. US Weekly broke the news that the couple will be expanding their family once again. The new bundle of joy is due in the late summer and will join siblings�Pearl, 7,�Lucille, 3, and�Jack, 19 months. The former SNL star has made no secret that motherhood has changed her life. She left this hit sketch comedy show after having her first child, as her life changed and her career became second. Ironically enough her film career has thrived since she left Saturday Night. She has appeared in hit films liek Bridesmaids, Friends With Kids and Away We Go. Most recently Maya has been starring on the NBC show Up All Night. 40-year old Rudolph reportedly told her bosses at the NBC sitcom, which is currently on hiatus as it tries to find its creative direction, that she was beginning her second trimester. Since as I said the life of the show is actually in question, star Christina Applegate actually quit [...]
