Backstreet Boy, A.J. McLean Is Married!

The teenager within us is having a fit right about now. Our crush from the Backstreet Boys, from way back when, A.J. McLean got married to his very pretty longtime girlfriend Rochelle Kandis on Saturday night. The ceremony took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel and celebrity guests in attendance were his Backstreet bandmates, Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough and Nick Carter, Kathy Griffin and New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre. Which is like a late ’80′s-’90′s smorgasbord of boyband goodness. A.J and Rochelle have been engaged for two years, every since the singer proposed at one of his shows. Congratulations, guys!

Will We See Lady Gaga, Other Star Cameos In The Muppets DVD Extras?

After years of rumors and vague responses about Lady Gaga‘s appearance in The Muppets, the cameo sadly wound up on the cutting room floor due to time constraints. Moviehole.net reports that it involved Gaga and her entourage — Ed Helms, John Krasinski and possibly Eric Stonestreet — in a showdown with Miss Piggy. And they may or may not have done a version of Madonna‘s “Vogue.” We fail to see how ANY OTHER plot point could have been more important than this. But we are still crossing our fingers that this makes it to the DVD extras.

Moviehole has a whole list of cameos cut from the original script. Elmo, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Rachael Ray, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Christian Bale, Kathy Griffin, Anne Hathaway, Katy Perry and George Clooney were all on the wish list. Of course, many of those stars happen to be very busy and couldn’t squeeze a Muppet shoot into their schedules (Elmo). But a couple of other big names shot scenes that we’re hoping to see one day: Jason Segel‘s Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-star Mila Kunis and Ben Stiller.

Given the movie’s strong performance at the box office over the holiday weekend (natch, it couldn’t beat Breaking Dawn Part 1, but it was a respectable second place), maybe some of those clever cameos will make it into another Muppets movie?

Happy Spirit Day! Our Favorite Celeb Tweets Against LGBT Bullying

Lots of us are wearing purple today, supporting Spirit Day, which started last year in response to the horrifying spate of LGBT teen suicides linked to bullying. But even if the color didn’t fit in your wardrobe, the wonders of social networking have made it possible to turn your profile pic purple, and we think that counts too. Of course, as with any cause, some of our fave celebs are lending their 140 characters to the effort. Here are some of the best so far:

“Glaad Spirit Day! I support LBGT youth against bullies! Put up your forcefields and don’t let anyone take your energy!!” — Adam Lambert

“You all better be wearing your purple skinny jeans tom for #SpiritDay – I know I will @MTVact.” — Vinny Guadagnino

“Tink! …trying to figure out how to make my avi purple….hmnn…” — Jordan Knight

Anderson Cooper And Kathy Griffin Get Chummy For His New Show

Anderson Cooper’s new daily one-hour daytime talk show Anderson is premiering September 12. And we’re totally excited to watch it especially because he’s interviewing Daniel Radcliffe and Snooki on the 13th! Anderson’s backstage blog has been giving us the dope on what to expect, including this promo photograph of him holding hands with a bikini-clad Kathy Griffin! What’s this business then? The blog says Kathy is a house guest and the segment is called “Summer’s Best with Kathy Griffin, Snooki & Daniel Radcliffe”. Are you going to tune in to watch? We will. There’s an Oprah sized void in our hearts that we have to fill with something!

Kathy Griffin One-Ups Jim Carrey With A Message For The Biebs

It seems like a nearly insurmountable challenge to out-creepy the Jim Carrey Emma Stone video, what with the super-tight focus, heart-felt earnestness and a reference to both freckle-faced babies and “the sex.” However, there’s one person who’s always up for a challenge, and Kathy Griffin’s Justin Bieber video succeeds…well, almost. We say almost since Kathy is obviously joking where as Jim Carrey, who’s site crashed due to an overwhelming number of visitors was…sort of serious?

Take her cues from Carrey’s video (no, seriously, she’s holding a cheat sheet), Kathy tells the Baby singer, “We would have kids, if I even have one egg left. I doubt it. We’re going to have to adopt,” later vowing “And the sex! It’s gonna be weird. The problem is that there’s an age difference. I’m a lot older than you, Justin Bieber. I’m 29. 39. 49. Just look me up.” At least everyone knows she’s joking, where as Jim Carrey’s explanation of the whole think reads as…sort of real? “Yes, my msg to Emma Stone was a comedy routine and the funniest part is that everything i said is tru,” the actor tweeted. Ha…ha?

Nylon Magazine Celebrates Their May Issue

Nylon Magazine seems to throw a lot of parties, eh? The last one had the whole cast of Sucker Punch celebrate their 12th anniversary issue. This bash, held at Bardot nightclub in Hollywood, had the likes of Paris Hilton, Benji Madden and Kathy Griffin show up. Young H’wood partied as well with Kieran Culkin, Aly Michalka and Daveigh Chase — who left on a bike! We’ve also noticed that Paris’ wardrobe has gone through a dramatic change. We haven’t taken any umbrage with her outfit choices lately, which totally surprises us! Check out the gallery below for the rest of the partiers.

Kathy Griffin Puts On A Polka Dot Bikini For A Mystery Man

‘Fess up, Kathy Griffin! Who’s the dude? The comedienne and the mystery dude pictured above were seen frolicking in Maui waters over the weekend. Kathy’s on the island to perform a show, but what’s a little work without a little play? We’re also going to give props where they’re due, because, look at her! Kathy’s going to be 51 later on this year and that stomach is flatter than flat. The rest of her ain’t too bad either. All body parts have quite successfully resisted gravity’s pull! But compliments aside, the bottom line is that we gotta know who the company is. Considering Kathy busted out a polka dot bikini, there’s got to be a motive and we’re guessing that’s him right there. Start talking! [Photos: Splash News Online]

The Old Spice Guy Is Single & Ready To Mingle, Though Not With Kathy Griffin

We’re personally closer to Kathy Griffin than Isaiah Mustafa on the scale of 1 to…well, Isaiah Mustafa, so we secretly thrilled to hear rumors that the Old Spice Guy and Kathy Griffin might be dating. Unfortunately, life is so rarely like the plot of She’s All That, and today the man himself went out of the way to establish that Isaiah Mustafa is single. Not that he doesn’t love and admire his friend Kathy, just not in that way. “I think she is amazing!” Mustafa gushed about the carrot-top comedian. “I think she’s a force of nature. And she’s on Broadway, so if you get a chance, go check her out!” Looks like we’ll have to find someone else to love our ponytail, glasses and paint-spattered overalls…we mean Kathy’s! Yeah, that’s the ticket…

So if Ms. Griffin isn’t currently using Isaiah’s strong yet forgiving chest as a pillow, which lucky lady is? “I just happen to be a single man!” Mustafa explained. “I like brunettes. I like red-heads or gingers. I like blonds!” BUT WHAT ABOUT PAINT-SPATTERED OVERALLS? Can’t they ever get any love?

Love On The D-List: Kathy Griffin And The Old Spice Guy Might Be Dating

In case you were getting tired of hearing about A-listers like Jennifer Aniston and James Franco all the time, enjoy a little gossip from the lower rungs of the Hollywood ladder. Rumor has it that Kathy Griffin and the Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa are dating. “They are not boyfriend/girlfriend but they are definitely spending time together and getting to know each other,” a source confirms to US Magazine after the two were seen acting flirty at the Costume Designers Guild Awards on Tuesday. At least Kathy and Isaiah have a lot in common: a love of Mustafa’s abs, superb comedic timing, a love of Mustafa’s arms…

Isaiah also allegedly visited Griffin on the set of Glee, where the comedian was shooting a guest spot. Now we understand why Mustafa denied Neve Campbell in December. “Thanks Valentine!…” Griffin tweeted Valentine’s Day with a photo of red roses, but didn’t specify which brawny spokesman they came from. Look, we know that Mustafa is build like Michelangelo’s David while Kathy was last seen dating Steve Wozniak, but the fact that we didn’t see this coming is exactly what makes us think it might be true. When Griffin was dating Levi Johnston for My Life On The D-List, you’d couldn’t turn a corner in L.A. without seeing those two holding hands and mugging for the camera. Kathy and Isaiah might not get enough love from the rest of industry; let’s see if they can find that love…in each other. And in Mustafa’s abs.
