On Wednesday’s X Factor, the remaining 7 contestants had the daunting task of singing a Michael Jackson song, in front of a studio full of the King of Pop’s family including Jackson’s brothers Marlon, Tito and Jermaine and Jackson’s mother Katherine, and his children, Prince, Paris and Blanket.

No pressure. 
Especially not for Josh Krajcik who took the stage first to sing Dirty Diana. 
LA Reid said he is proud to see Josh outside of his comfort zone and said that he did great. Paula Abdul called it a show stopping performance. But Simon Cowell didn’t seem impressed: “As a spectacle, it was great. However, you were over-produced, you got lost in all the choreography … This is not you on stage … This is what Nicole wants to be, and that’s why you had to be in the cage with all the dancing.” Nicole defended herself by saying she and her mentee like to step out of the box and take risks. She said Josh was brave and bold like Michael Jackson was.

Just released: The cover album for Amy Winehouse‘s final, posthumous album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures. 

The cover perfectly captures the beautiful Amy that fans love and miss: Her trademark teased beehive, the exaggerated winged black eyeliner and, of course, her tattoos.

Mindy McCready: I Am Not Missing And I Didn’t Kidnap My Son!

Country singer Mindy McCready tells Access Hollywood that despite reports today, she is not missing and she did not kidnap her 5-year-old son.

In an e-mail to Access Hollywood, the crooner said: “I am working with lawyers to try to get all this straightened out. I did not steal my child, as it would be impossible for me to kidnap what already belongs to me! There never was any missing persons report and never an Amber Alert.”

This email flies in the face of the Associated Press which reported earlier that the Department of Children and Families said a missing persons report was filed in Florida on Tuesday. Per AP, the report was filed after the singer took her son, Zander, from the singer’s father’s home. McCready’s mother reportedly has custody of the child.

Per AP, a judge has ordered McCready to return Zander by Thursday.

Jay Cutler started rehab on his injured finger today. But it looks like he had recently taken positive steps on relationship rehab as well. After calling off their wedding earlier this year, the Chicago Bears Quarterback is once again engaged to Kristin Cavallari.

During her brief stint on Dancing with the Stars this season, Cutler came to watch his ex dance with partner Mark Ballas and even asked his Twitter followers to vote for Cavallari. All that fueled rumors that the two love birds were back on again. The former Laguna Beach and The Hills star took to Twitter to announce the happy news and confirm the rumors: “This time its official… Jay and I are engaged again :).” Continue reading →

I met Kellan Lutz right before Breaking Dawn premiered and the foxy hunk had this crazy unkempt hair thing going on. I wondered why someone so good looking would crazy up his hair so badly. On purpose. Don’t get me wrong, he still looked hot, but, the hair could have looked sharper.

Well, Kellan has now taken it all a step further. The 26-year old star took to Twitter yesterday and asked: “Movember equals Mohawk month, right?” NO, NO, IT DOESN’T KELLAN!! 
Alas, it’s too late….because he then sent the above photo of himself with a brand new hairdo and said, “Out with the old and in with the new!” What’s wrong with the old, Kellan?, I ask. But the star just wants to have fun, it seems. “Goodbye dark hair. It’s been fun.”
What do you think of Kellan’s Mohawk?

Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky and her chosen fiance Roberto Martinez announced 9 days ago without explanation that they have called off their engagement. In the new issue of People magazine, which hits newsstands on Friday, Ali now tells us what happened.

Ali says: “I wouldn’t be being truthful if I said this came out of nowhere. We definitely had been having problems. But I had always believed that we could work it out.”
Ali, who was reportedly crying during her interview, said she wanted the relationship to work, but the two could not stop the arguments. “We both realized we were unhappy more than we were happy. And we both deserved more,” she confessed.
