| Taylor Armstrong Has Signed a Book Deal Posted: 03 Dec 2011 10:00 AM PST
It was only a matter of time, but it seems Taylor Armstrong, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, is writing a tell all book. The memoir will be titled Hiding from Reality: My Story of Love, Loss, and Finding the Courage Within and will be unleashed on the public this February. Taylor’s husband Russell Armstrong committed suicide this August, and the book will explore their relationship in-depth. Taylor is saying she wants to shine light on the issue of domestic abuse by publishing her story, which is a really important and altruistic goal. I have to wonder, however, about how the book might affect her five-year-old daughter. For her sake, I hope Taylor’s memoir focuses more on her efforts to get out of an abusive relationship and the strength that took and less about Russell’s actions.

| The Katy Perry Barbie Doll Is Now Up For Auction Posted: 02 Dec 2011 03:26 PM PST
Matching Katy’s love for inserting food into her costumes, performances, and music videos, the Barbie has a dress whose skirt is meticulously covered in cupcakes. She comes with a little waffle-cone stage sprinkled with gummy bears; obviously the Mattel designer, named Amy Lee, was inspired by Katy’s “California Gurls” video. (So does that mean you can buy Snoop Dogg separately?) If I were a doll collector, I’d want to snatch up this one if only for the gorgeous costume. What would make it the best would be if the Katy doll came with a second outfit of a more daytime-appropriate dress and a phone… in order to snap her many Twitpics, of course.

| Update: ‘Texts From Bennett’ Is A No-Good Rotten Fake Posted: 02 Dec 2011 03:21 PM PST
Apparently, the site was created by a white rapper dude named Mac Lethal. Mac Leathal also happens to have launched a viral sensation with his pancake-themed video cover of Chris Brown‘s “Look at Me Now.” Funny, I guess, but he’s no Don Dizzle. Anyway, it seems Mac Lethal totally fabricated the whole Bennett thing, which makes the site actually kind of racist. Cool. Post from: Crushable |
| Chad Michael Murray Is Adorably Humble About His Graphic Novel Everlast Posted: 02 Dec 2011 03:00 PM PST
Ology checked out his signing on the Upper East Side and chatted with him afterwards about his low expectations for the book. See, he hadn’t really told anyone that he was writing a graphic novel. “I’m not a big talker,” he confessed, so only a few people close to him knew anything about the project. Then, when Everlast was actually going to be published, he was terrified that he wouldn’t be able to fill the signings. What’s so cool is that here Chad sounds like a real writer, not just something looking to get extra royalties off yet another piece of branding. “”The first time I had [the novel] in my hands, I just said, ‘Oh, Kenzie, there's gonna be 30 people there and I don't know what I'm gonna do,’” he recalled, referring to OTH-extra-turned-girlfriend Kenzie Dalton. ”So it's really, really incredible to see the support that we have right now in New York City and I know it's all over the world.” He needn’t have worried; his OTH fanbase created the foundation for an Everlast following, something he helps by sending personal messages to (as he claims) 50-100 fans a day over Twitter. Really, he sounds a lot more savvy than we would have given him credit for. When asked if Derek Everlast and the other characters were based on people from real life, he smiled and muttered, “I’ll just say yes.” After all, he came up with the idea while on the OTH set in Wilmington, North Carolina. I wonder if we’d see co-stars James Lafferty, Hilarie Burton, or even ex Sophia Bush in the book? But he most important thing this interview achieved is that I, as an avid comics fan, actually want to go read Everlast now. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| 30 Crazy Moments In Britney Spears’ Life In Honor Of Her 30th Birthday Posted: 02 Dec 2011 02:43 PM PST
So much nonsense and soul-sucking sadness happened that you’d think her life was a reality show. Then she actually got a reality show. Here’s our roughly chronological journey through the high and low points of Britney’s personal life and career. 1. VIRGINITY WATCH 1999: Long before the Jonas Brothers flashed their purity rings, the media was obsessed with Britney’s maidenhood. She dated *NSYNC leader Justin Timberlake from 1999-2002, and I feel like every news story I read about them was whether they’d popped their respective cherries. It was pretty appalling, actually. They both staunchly claimed to be virgins even though it’s so creepy that grown adults were pestering them about it for years. But in a 2009 SNL skit, Justin basically admitted that he and Britney had slept together. 2. Her first Rolling Stone cover: The first of Britney’s many exclamations that she wasn’t an innocent girl (but still a virgin). To be fair, she did keep her clothes on, but the image — of her splayed out on her bed baring her midriff and hugging a Teletubby — was provocative. 3. Dancing with a snake at the VMAs: The first of many famous performances, she gyrated with a boa to “I’m A Slave 4 U.” 4. The flesh-colored bodysuit at the VMAs: Britney showed us she was “not a girl” and that she needed some “satisfaction.” Boys became men that day. 5. Death hoax: Two Texas DJs reported that Britney and Justin had perished in a car crash. Since this was before the Internet was so prevalent — not to mention Twitter-as-news — it caused quite a panic before her reps could deny it. 6. Crossroads: The enduring story of a small-town girl traveling cross-country with a hot stranger she loses her virginity to. If you can believe it, Zoe Saldana was in this before she became, like, an actual star. 7. Her 55-hour wedding to Jason Alexander: After the Justin break-up, Britney seemed to have poor impulse control when it came to relationships. She wasn’t even dating Jason — they claimed to be childhood friends — when they got hitched at a Vegas chapel. They annulled it a few days later, but we’ll always remember the “wtf” moment. 8. Marrying Kevin Federline: Not only were we boggled that she married Kevin so quickly after the Jason Alexander fiasco, but he just didn’t seem worthy of her. This was our pop princess, after all! She had dated Justin Timberlake, and now this low-life who left his babymama Shar Jackson for her? 9. Britney & Kevin: Chaotic: All those who might’ve wanted an intimate look into Britney and Kevin’s courtship were repulsed by how narcissistic the pop star was. 10. Driving with a baby on her lap: This is where the public view of Trashy Britney began to emerge, when paparazzi snapped her carrying son Sean Preston on her lap. Ironically, she claimed that she had put Sean on her lap because of a frightening run-in with the photogs, but regardless she later owned up to her mistake. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Johnny Depp, What Are You Wearing? Posted: 02 Dec 2011 02:01 PM PST

| Mash-Up: ‘Top Of The Pops 2011 – WTF’ Favors Britney, Rihanna, And Maroon 5 Posted: 02 Dec 2011 01:04 PM PST
That works against him in some ways, since this mix, while fun, isn’t as compelling as DJ Earworm‘s stuff. But what we’re most interested in is how some songs we think are pretty awful nonetheless made it in. Consider that the two “base” songs seem to be Britney Spears‘ “Til the World Ends” and Maroon 5‘s “Moves Like Jagger.” Of course, it’s not all bad. Adele‘s “Rolling in the Deep” was a shoo-in, and David Guetta earned three spots for his various collaborations with Usher, Sia, and Flo Rida. “We Found Love” and “S&M” put Rihanna on the list, as did “Pumped Up Kicks” for Foster the People. In terms of the superstars, Lady Gaga is included, for “Judas,” but it must be a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment because I didn’t catch it. And where was Justin Bieber? Guess he got more attention for his Never Say Never concert movie than his actual music this year. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Stop The Presses: Rihanna Has Gone Blonde! Posted: 02 Dec 2011 01:00 PM PST
I measure my life in Rihanna hair-changes. My milestones are not: first boyfriend; first job; graduation, they’re: black pixie, curly fauxhawk, red curls. Which means that today is a really big deal for me, because Rihanna has debuted some newly bleached locks. Rihanna paired the look with a super colorful rhinestone bikini thing. This isn’t the first time she’s done the blonde thing, but it’s both the lightest and the longest she’s taken the look. Today’s other news about Rihanna is less positive — apparently the singer has been put on 24-hour health watch because her constant touring has been exhausting her. She recently suffered a meltdown right before a show in Dublin, and nearly had to cancel the tour. (via Hollywoodtuna) Post from: Crushable |

So when we said earlier today that the Katy Perry Barbie doll would be released 
We were understandably a little confused to hear that One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray has branched out 
So Britney Spears turned 30 today. Are we the only ones who feel ancient at this news? Hell, I remember bouncing around my room to “Oops… I Did It Again” in fourth grade. And yet it’s not too difficult to envision her as 30, since she’s lived several lifetimes thanks to her tumultuous relationships, mental/emotional instability, and ever-changing image from bubblegum pop girl to trashy hasbeen to somewhat-adjusted woman.
