Lady Gaga’s Number One Fan: We Have A Winner

penyo1

Well, it’s official. The world has turned into some kind of creepy, futuristic Terry Gilliam movie where people can morph into other people. At least, that’s what we’re getting from this story about Bulgarian Big Brother star Penio Daskalov, who wants to get a sex change and plastic surgery to look like his idol, Lady Gaga.

Daskalov wants a music career of his own (so why not look exactly like a pop star that already exists, right?), but he thinks this will give him an edge over the competition. He says “I really admire the way she has created herself, so when I’ve had my operations I won’t be quite a man or quite a woman.” Hey, if s/he’s any good they’ll have to create a genderless Grammy category for him/her/Prince symbol.

Daskalov also says that he doesn’t want to just look like Gaga, he wants to perform with her. “I’ve already contacted her management and told them what I am doing and how I’d like to record a duet with her.” Management has not yet responded. While Gaga is all about her fans (sorry, her little monsters), we wonder what she thinks of  this particular form of imitation/flattery/insanity.

Celebrate 9.02.10 With A Then And Now Retropective Of 90210

90210_then_now

For those of you who have yet to look at a calendar this morning, today’s date is September 2, 2010. Or, if you’re the type who prefers both brevity and decimal points, 9.02.10. In honor of such a momentous date, we thought we would pay tribute to the all-star cast of one of the greatest creative achievements of our lifetimes, Beverly Hills, 90210. (After all, it’s now or never; most of us won’t be around to celebrate the next time this date rolls around!)

It has been nearly 20 years since the show debuted on the (then fledgling) Fox Network, and it’s fair to say that none of our lives have been the same since. Dylan McKay and Brandon Walsh taught young men everywhere that nothing is more attractive than the combination of brooding glares and bitchin’ sideburns, and Brenda Walsh, Kelly Taylor and Donna Martin (Graduates!) proved to be some of the era’s biggest fashion icons (even if we laugh at their sundresses and chokers now).

So, won’t you join us as we take a trip down memory lane and through the halls of West Beverly High as we investigate how the show’s core cast members and impressive roster of guest stars (Hilary Swank! Ryan Seacrest! Um, Jamie Walters?!?) looked then and what they look like now. May the bridges we burn light the way!

New Book Claims John Travolta Loves Cheating On Kelly Preston With Men

SPL164861_028

Well this isn’t great news to break while you’re expecting a new baby: a new book claims that John Travolta has cheated on Kelly Preston repeatedly with men throughout their nineteen-year marriage. The book is entitled “You’ll Never Spa In This Town Again” so take these claims with a grain of salt scrub, we guess, because the author, Robert Randolph, says that Travolta’s indiscretions are the stuff of legend. Says Randolph “John Travolta has been cheating on Kelly for years! And when the details emerge, he’s gonna make Tiger Woods look like a boy scout.” Well, that can’t be good.

The Travolta gay rumors have persisted for years, as have the rumors that Scientology is just a brainwashing attempt to “turn” people in denial straight, and Travolta is level five Thetan or whatever - basically he’s a black belt in Scientology. But a book about a secret gay spa subculture (seriously!) which brazenly makes accusations against someone as famous as Travolta is big.  One thing making this rumor appear more fact than fiction: a photo that the National Enquirer has of Travolta kissing another man. No word on whether Travolta will sue over the allegations like fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise did when he was accused of having a gay affair a few years ago, but one this is for sure: if this story’s true, our minds will apparently not be the only things that have been blown.

Jersey Shore’s Angelina Beats Up Snooki’s Boyfriend

jsbrawl

Where do we even begin? Because Jersey Shore shenanigans completely fry us! Okay, the best place to start is right from the beginning. In this case it would be Snooki’s new boyfriend Jeff Miranda’s infamous magazine cover proposal. We doubt the lady in question makes the right choices (hello, arrest for disorderly conduct) but in this case Snooki, did good by saying thanks, but no thanks.

Jeffy here has some major (alleged) baggage here. Expected, of course, ’cause what’s the Jersey Shore (and Snooki) without mayjah drama. He apparently loves ’swinger’ parties, held a gun at his ex’s head and got served with a restraining order. But the worst? He supposedly tried to get on with Snooki’s housemate Angelina.

And, charming gentleman that he is, he had to respond to Angelina’s news (read: vitriol) in the only way he knew how. In Steppin’ Out, the same magazine he proposed to Snooki in, he stated eloquently, “Nobody cares about her anymore. She’s spreading lies about me to get attention. But she’s very jealous of me and Nicole (Snooki). She should just f**k off. She thinks I’m interested in her, but you would think if I were interested in her we would be dating. I’m not into her. She’s a b*tch.”

Oh and that’s not all. You didn’t think he would be succinct, did you? He added, “…I was never with her sexually. I had a friend who hooked up with her friend and that’s about it. I took a few pictures with her and she feel in love with me. She thought I was a sexy Guido. I tried to be nice to her, but she got the wrong idea. Now she’s jealous. She’s a cock blocker. She needs to get a life. I’m tired of her trash talking…”

Of course then Miss Angelina apparently smashed a microphone on Miranda’s face at at the Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club in New York yesterday. She was filming a web broadcast with Chaunce Hayden when Miranda turned up and started sh*t up. Hayden revealed, “Jeff was yelling that Angelina was jealous of his relationship with Snooki and that she is trying to break them up so she can date him.”

Apparently Jeff didn’t try to defend himself because it all hit him (pun intended) by surprise. Hayden says, “He looked stunned. He stood up like he was going to hit her and a group of people stopped him. She took all the booze on the table and started pouring it in his face and blinded him. I never saw somebody get beat that bad.” Chaunce also said that his face was so swollen he couldn’t speak properly, even though he tried to mutter “I’m going to sue her.”

Woah. If this is true… then… Woah. I mean, we all know that Angelina is a slapper…but this is just insane.

Diddy Sued: Mo Money Mo Problems

diddymain

Diddy he or Diddyn’t he discriminate? That is the question, and it’s now up to the courts to decide, as P Diddy is being sued for $12 million by an ex Bad Boy label employee claiming discrimination.

As always there are two sides to the story. The law-suit happy side has Francesca Spero suing bad boy Sean Combs (Puffy, Puff, Diddy and whatever else we’ve missed) for firing her based on that fact that she was old and disabled.

She’s stating that she worked with the company from 1998 and was doing her job as a high-flying executive very well. Apparently she needed urgent hip surgery in 2008. Unfortunately she then “suffered a relapse” with prescription meds and alcohol addictions. She claims Diddy was ”unsympathetic to her condition”  which led to him giving her the axe. And to add insult to injury she was the replaced by a much younger woman, who Spero claims ”lacked the skill set and experience Spero brought to the position.”  Sour grapes, or serious stuff?

Diddy’s side has a spokesperson giving his view straight-up, stating, “This is a grab for money by someone who concedes in her complaint to having had a drug relapse while on the job and an employer who was not satisfied with her work.” Ouch. About the discrimination claims, it was added that, “There are many reasons why Ms. Spero is no longer employed by Bad Boy, but age discrimination is not one of them.”

Question is…which side do you believe?

Newlyweds T.I. And Tameka Arrested For Possession - Was It Ecstasy?

ti 270410

What a way to start a life together. TMZ reports that rapper T.I. and Tameka Cottle were arrested around 10.30pm last night on the alleged charges of possession of a controlled substance. Way to celebrate a one month anniversary! T.I. and “Tiny”  were thrice-married a month ago, remember?

By the looks of it, it doesn’t sound good for the couple at all. T.I’s already on probation! When cops from the L.A County Sheriff’s department pulled them over, they apparently smelled pot, which led to them searching the Maybach the couple was rolling in. They must’ve found something because they ending up slapping cuffs on them both.

T.I. is still on probation from gun charges, so we’re curious what this means in terms of violating his parole, more jail time, etc. But hey  - he could always just do what Paris Hilton did and claim the drugs just magically appeared in a borrowed purse!
