VH1 Divas Line-Up Special Honoring Whitney Houston & Donna Summer Has Been Announced… And It Makes NO Sense!

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 01:39 PM PST

All right, what?!

We were thrilled to find out back in May that this year's upcoming VH1 Divas special would pay tribute to the life and music of dearly departed Whitney Houston, and couldn't wait to learn the line-up of talent to be featured for such an occasion!

However, we're pretty confused to report that in spite of the concert's namesake, this year's line-up warrants that it be re-named VH1 Former Disney Darlings!

That's right, the officially announced tribute to both Whitney and Donna Summer will include performances from Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, and Jordin Sparks!

...again with the HUH?

While we understand the latter's inclusion, given her involvement in Sparkle, and enjoy ALL the ladies as artists, we just find ourselves a little disappointed that producers couldn't land anyone with a little more, ahem, 'clout!'

In fact, we'd argue that the person who warrants the "Diva" title the most of all is the appointed host for the evening, Adam Lambert!

He says in a statement:

"I'm so thrilled to be hosting VH1 Divas this year. I have a feeling it's going to be the most fabulous concert of the year! And LIVE!! Get ready for some amazing performances, killer fashion and fierce divas!"

We certainly hope you're right, boy!

What do U think? Are U excited with the 2012 VH1 Divas line-up??

Demi Lovato Calls Simon Cowell Out On Prepping His Lines On X Factor!

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 01:22 PM PST

X Factor has seen a lot of changes this season already, from complete artist makeovers to name switches!

Last night, we got previously eliminated Diamond White back, a new name for LYLAS 1432 Fifth Harmony -- and artistic direction swaps!

One contestant makeover that was Simon's biggest concern? One of Demi Lovato's Young Adults, Jennel Garcia!

Check out Jennel's rendition of I Love Rock 'N' Roll (above)!!

SeXXXy... but we miss her spunkiness that we saw from her audition!

Simon seemed to have the same problem with DemDem's other finalist, CeCe Frey, whose makeover turned her into a Miley Cyrus-Ke$ha mash-up!

While L.A. viewed the performance as a Joan Jett parody, it really just made us want to watch Crossroads! LOLz!

Christina Aguilera Holds A Lotus Listening Party! Check Out The Brand New Tracks She Previewed HERE!

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 01:08 PM PST

Yes! Yes! YES!

Has Christina Aguilera come back with a vengeance or WHAT?!

We already knew we were in for a treat when we got our hands on Blank Page and Red Hot Kinda Love, but now, with the pop sensation's new album Lotus only a day away from release, she's taken it upon herself to debut even MORE of its tune-age, and hosted an intimate album listening party, at which she previewed four new INCREDIBLE tracks!

And yes, included amongst them are the collaborations with her Voice co-judges!

Ch-ch-check out Just a Fool, her duet with Blake Shelton, and her comments on how the song came to fruition (above)!

Just AH-Mazing!

Seriously, we never anticipated she'd even dip her toes into country, but her voice really lends itself well to the genre, wouldn't you say?!

We cannot give her credit enough for really challenging herself artistically and taking some risks here!

It MORE than pays off! And proves just how far she's come since even Bionic!

Bravo, GURL! We cannot WAIT for this album in full!

Of course, that's FAR from all!

You can also check out her collaboration with Cee-Lo on Make The World Move; Let There Be Love, which, following Your Body, was her second track on the album with mega-producer Max Martin; and Army of Me, which she describes as Fighter 2.0...AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Carly Rae Jepsen SUED For Stealing Call Me Maybe From Ukrainian Singer

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 12:50 PM PST

Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe was the biggest hit of the summer, but did she steal it from a Ukrainian singer named Aza?

According to our ears, no. However, this busty blonde must be hearing something different because she says the hit single is a complete rip off of her song, Hunky Santa (above).

She's filing a lawsuit against Jepsen and manager Scooter Braun today. It seems that Aza's not concerned with them lifting the tune, so much as stealing her lyrics and explained:

"I'm shocked and surprised that these people wanted to sample my lyrics on their song. They didn't ask me for permission, they just took it. That's why I filed this lawsuit. When I first heard it on the radio, I was driving and almost got into an accident. I couldn't believe what I was hearing."

After listening to the song, the only similar lyrics we could find was "call me and here is my number."

The rest go a little something like this:

I like sexy, silky lingerie.
I like big and sparkly diamonds.
I like lots and lots of compliments.
And chocolate covered almonds.

Anyone wanna take any guesses as to how fast it takes for a judge to throw this out of court?

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' Shooter Gets SIX Life Sentences! Plus…

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 12:33 PM PST

Justice has been served!

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords's shooter, Jared Loughner, has been sentenced to a heavy six-life sentence for last year's shooting.

PLUS 140 YEARS ON TOP OF THAT!

Giffords and her husband were there to witness the sentencing, with hubby Mark Kelly stating:

"You may have put a bullet through her head, but you have not put a dent in her spirit, and her ability to do good."

After being treated for schizophrenia, 24-yr-old Jared admitted guilt after killing six and injuring thirteen on January 8, 2011.

His sentencing is the justice for 19 counts, including attempted assassination.

We're EXTREMELY happy to see justice served. We can only hope this tragedy lives on only as an excellent example of what NOT to do.

Lindsay Lohan's Assistant Calls Bullsh*t On Cops! Claims He Never Sold Out Star!

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 12:22 PM PST

Suuuure, Mr. Gavin Doyle! The cops are just lying about what you said! We totes believe you...

On opposite day!

Lindsay Lohan may face actual jail time for supposedly lying to the police about WHO was driving the rental Porsche that smashed into an 18-wheeler on the PCH last June, and it seems her assistant is adamant about the fact that he did NOT sell out the star to authorities!!

Gavin is claiming that he never said Lindz was driving the vehicle, and that when cops told him they knew Lindsay was behind the wheel because of the seatbelt bruise on her body, his only response was: "ok."

It seems Gavin thinks the police warped his answer in order to file charges against the notorious redhead... you know, cause cops have personal vendettas against famous people and all.

Orrr perhaps he just doesn't want to get fired for landing Lindsay Lohan in jail.

Sounds like both Lilo and Gavin have been smoking the same paranoia-causing substance!!

And we have to wonder, does Lindsay believe her apologetic assistant?! We're dying to know!

Jennifer Hudson and Seal have been picked to headline the event in Norway, while Norwegian rap group Karpe Diem, singer Susanne Sundfør and Iranian-born Swedish singer-songwriter Laleh will also take the stage at the 19th Annual Nobel Peace Prize Concert.

Last year, Sugarland, David Gray and Jill Scott headlined, along with performances from Janelle Monáe, Bernhoft and the World Youth Choir.

More acts will be announced for the upcoming international event as the date gets closer.

Robert Pattinson Details His Two-Year Struggle With Depression!

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 12:00 PM PST

Just imagining depressed chiseled-cheekbones makes US depressed!

But unfortunately, it's true. Robert Pattinson has admitted to enduring a two-year depression. When Twilight co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner were breaking away to work on other films, Rob felt so alone creatively.

He confesses to Première magazine:

"I went through a big time of depression between 23 and 25, I couldn't go where I wanted to go, I was in the tabloids every day and I didn't have access to the roles I really wanted. I wanted more, on every level. I finally realized that you needed to earn this change I so desperately wanted. That one way or another, you had to suffer to be able to make it. I thought everything was going to be served on a plate but that's not how it works."

"When David Cronenberg offered Cosmopolis to me, I never read anything as interesting for years. I saw Kristen leave to film Snow White and the Huntsman, Taylor was also doing his thing on the side, and I was just going in circles, asking myself if I was going to take a break and go back to music. Then one day David called and I went crazy."

But of course, right after the Cannes premiere of Cosmopolis, girlfriend KStew was caught cheating with her married Snow White director.

And as we all know, Rob seemed to plummet right back into that black hole of sadness. Whomp whomp!

They're back together now though -- as coy as KStew might be when asked about it. And a matched-up Rob is a happy Rob!

So now he's looking forward to his final Twilight Saga hurrah! Even though it's all about to be over, Robberz is proud of the work accomplished, saying:

"Twilight managed to unite an audience that was unknown until now and one that studios didn't know how to capitalize on. The saga opened a road that can be fun to explore. I'm sure there's smart ways of recreating that feeling that drew fans to Twilight in other people. I'm thinking about it right now, it's my audience after all!"

Smart man!!

But we know he has a long career ahead of him full of Cosmopolis-like films if he keeps working at his craft! We mean, honestly, as long as he's trying, we're not too worried for him.

Dr. Phil’s Marriage Has Hit A Rough Patch

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 11:52 AM PST

It looks like there's trouble on Dr. Phil island!

The TV host has been having some marital probz with his wife, Robin McGraw and even a $30 million mansion can't fix it!

Reportedly, the majority of their fights are over her part on his show. However, a friend said the problem is him!

This source went on to say he's not a very nice guy behind-the-scenes, stating:

"Phil's got a likable on-screen persona, but behind the scenes, TV viewers would not recognize him. With Robin at home, he has an ugly Jekyll-and-Hyde personality. I think Dr. Phil thought he could buy Robin off by getting her a big new house. He figured that would let him off the hook so he could go off and do his thing, and she'd leave him alone. But that didn't work."

Yikes!

That must be a ton of tension if a 14,000 square foot mansion can't ease the stress!

The couple has been together for 36 years, and we would hate to see them split up!

Hopefully Dr. Phil can take some of his own advice and apply it to his marriage.
