Poor Zsa Zsa Gabor. It’s bad enough that she had to have her right leg amputated two weeks ago to save her life, but she now also has to deal with some clueless company trying to promote their product with her misfortune. Continue reading
Oh Rihanna, you had me at Love the Way You Lie.
But you may have lost me at S&M.
Rihanna’s video for her hot new song S&M has just been released and although artistically I love it, I just can’t get past the former victim of domestic violence singing, “Cause I may be bad but I’m perfectly good at it. Sex in the air. I don’t care, I love the smell of it. Sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me.”
Ya ya I know, there is a difference when it’s consensual…but still..
Watch anyway:
It pays to be Diddy‘s son, Justin. For his 17th birthday, Justin received a souped-up limousine version of a Mercedes Maybach valued at $390,000.
This may sound outrageous in and of itself but wait ’till you hear this: This car is the 17 year-old’s second such vehicle as Justin received a lesser version of a Maybach (valued at only $300,000) last year from his famous and ridiculously-rich father.
Diddy felt like he had some explainin’ to do. So he told The Independent: “Justin has turned himself around and is now an honors student, which he wasn’t before, so I wanted to treat him. It’s a collector’s car so maybe he will use it for special occasions like on a first date, but like all my kids, he prefers the simpler things than the expensive things. Simple tastes.”
Simple tastes? Are you for real, Diddy? I have a simple taste. And by “simple taste” I mean I drive a 10-year old Nissan. But alas, I digress. We’re not talking about me. We’re talking about you, Diddy.
Justin’s first gifted-car was featured on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 and Diddy got a lot of flack for his extravagant gift.
Diddy blamed the criticism on racism and said in response to an interview with journalist Martin Bashir, who questioned the gift: “The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask white people what they buy their kids. And they buy ’em Porsches and convertible Bentleys, and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.”
Diddy, I don’t think Bashir’s question had anything to do with racism. I would think he’d question anyone who would dote so much money on a teenager. I know I would. But it’s your money and it’s your kid. So, live and be happy cause as they say, father knows best! Just don’t be surprised if your kids don’t appreciate the real simple things of life as they grow older…
What would the rest of you do? Would you lavish such an expensive gift on your teenager if you had the means?

Upcoming Oscar hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco are featured on the cover as are pretty boys Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds.
The magazine decided to go “back to the basics – no teenagers, no penguins, no (full-on) nudity, just the most exciting actors and actresses of the moment.”
Other stars on the cover include newly-cast Spider-man Andrew Garfield, Jennifer Lawrence, Anthony Mackie, Olivia Wilde, Jesse Eisenberg, Mila Kunis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rashida Jones, Garrett Hedlund, Noomi Rapace, and Robert Duvall.
Vanity Fair‘s fashion and style director Jessica Diehl said: “We wanted to evoke the glamour of 1930s Shanghai, an era of smoky, alluring elegance. We had the gentlemen looking dashing in black tie, whilst the ladies were radiant in spring’s gowns – from Gucci to Yves Saint Laurent – and glittering with diamonds from Chanel and other arbiters of glamour.”
The issue hits newsstands February 3 in New York and Los Angeles and then nationally on February 8.
Three-time Dancing with the Stars‘ champion Derek Hough (Pictured here with me) will not be back on the show next season when it returns in March.
The dancer’s rep says he’ll be “taking off” Season 12 of the hit ABC series to shoot the feature film Cobu 3D opposite Korean pop star BoA.
Hough himself told People, “People will see a much edgier side of me and these other styles of dance I’m capable of doing. I will be making it back to Dancing with the Stars in the fall.”
He continued: “I’m just taking a little break and taking this chance to grow and expand a little bit as an artist. It’s like I told one of the producers on the show – I’ll come back with a whole new set of skills.”

Did you catch Jennifer Love Hewitt and Betty White on CBS’ Lost Valentine Sunday?
Jennifer was recently on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and said about her iconic co-star: “I just love her. Betty White is just the most amazing person–she’s even more amazing than you want her to be.”
Jennifer continued, “Betty was really funny the first day when she came in the trailer. We hadn’t really met yet, it was like 5 O’Clock in the morning, and we both have rollers in our hair and she sits down in the chair and says, ‘So, what’s it like not being the pretty one in the trailer anymore?’ ” Continue reading
