Which Celeb Baby Is Already Fending Off Paparazzi?

Looks like Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon‘s baby daughter Monroe is already ready for a diva life in the spotlight. She’s definitely honed her, “back off paparazzi” skills to perfection. It’s almost as good as Pink giving the paps the finger so they can’t publish pics of her baby daughter Willow.

Mariah Tweeted this photo Saturday with the caption, “This is baby Monroe saying ‘no pictures dahhhhling’ at 7+1/2 weeks..oh dear :).”

Perhaps daddy Cannon was serious when he described Monroe and her twin brother Moroccan as: “My son is laid back like me. My daughter’s a diva like her mom! When my daughter wants something, she’ll let you know immediately.”

So cute!

2011 BET [Redemption?] Awards: Chris Brown & Michael Vick Among Award Winners

The BET Awards were broadcast live Sunday night from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Big winner of the night? 22-year-old Chris Brown who walked away with five trophies, including male R&B artist, video of the year and collaboration for Look at Me Now.


Brown thanked his fans and said they are everything to him. “I know it’s been a long road. I just appreciate every blessing that’s been put in front of me.”
Brown not only won big, but he was also involved, albeit due to no fault of his own, in the most awkward moment of the night. BET changed its usual paper envelopes with tablets for the first time when announcing the winners. And when they tried to announce the Coca-Cola Viewers’ Choice Award by using a random young viewer to read the results, all went to the crapper. The young announcer went blank-faced for a second before announcing Chris Brown as the winner. Then, to her horror a couple of seconds later, she backtracked and said, “I’m sorry, the winner is Rihanna for What’s My Name.” The crowd jeered as Rihanna’s song played. The co-announcer then said, “This is awkward, the winner is Drake,” as Drake came on stage to accept “his” award.

If that weren’t bad and strange enough, BET later tweeted a congratulations to Chris Brown for winning the Coca Cola Viewers Choice Award. So, the fan was right the first time but we have no idea why the mistake was made.


Below is the complete list of winners of the night:

Best Male R&B Artist- Chris Brown

Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” Jacket Auctions For A Fortune

Michael Jackson‘s red jacket from his Thriller video, one of the most iconic pieces of music memorabilia, was sold for $1.8 million at an auction this weekend.

Jackson had signed the jacket on its left arm as a gift to his longtime costume designers, Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush before his death in 2009.

Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills drew bidders from all over the world for the sale but the lucky winner was Milton Verret of Austin, Texas. Verret  will display the jacket at his city’s Dell Children’s Hospital to raise money for children’s charities and hospitals around the world in the spirit of MJ.
The auction also included memorabilia from Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Frank Sinatra, but MJ’s jacket made the most money, by far. In comparison, Sinatra’s 1986 Jaguar was sold for $19,000. Paul McCartney’s bass guitar went for $14,080. The cape Ringo Starr wore in the movie Help! raised $37,500. 
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of MJ’s jacket will benefit The Shambala Preserve, home to Jackson’s two Bengal tigers, Thriller and Sabu.

The second 36-year old Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. from West Virginia sang his first note on Wednesday’s (June 22) America’s Got Talent, tears started to roll down my face.

Why? Because it’s unbelievably sad to me to learn that a gifted voice like his could remain hidden from the world while this man was spending his time washing cars for a living.

This is Landau’s first audition in life. Ever.

I won’t say much more, but just listen to his rendition of I’ve Got You Under My Skin by Frank Sinatra. Yes, Sinatra,

MTV Will Recast Jersey Shore?

What happens when you push your boss for one outrageous raise after another when you’re already making a crap load of money to begin with? You lose your job that’s what.

MTV is reportedly planning on recasting Jersey Shore after the original crew films one final season in Seaside Heights this summer to bring in much cheaper and less famous people.
With each passing season, this cast has held out contract negotiations, pushing for bigger and bigger salaries because they argue that the show that made them famous prevents them from having time to take part in more sponsorship deals and club appearances.
The “core group” which we can assume consists of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio reportedly made about $100,000 per episode to film Season 4 in Florence, Italy, this spring. WHICH IS JUST PLAIN INSANE! They were paid $100,000 to basically party in paradise.

“After this group comes back from Italy and shoots season 5 this summer, that will be the end for them,” a Jersey Shore producer told Us Weekly.

The source added: “They will leave on a high note!” I guess that means they will continue with their spin off shows.
