Madonna Still Annoyed Over M.I.A.’s “Teenager” Super Bowl Bird Flip

Can you guess the only thing Madonna hates more than hydrangeas? For the last time, nothing! That being said, it seems like M.I.A.’s Super Bowl middle finger stunt has also gotten stuck in Madge’s craw something fierce. “I wasn’t happy about it. I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity it seemed negative,” the singer complained to Ryan Seacrest‘s KIIS-FM show this morning. “It’s one of the those things, it’s such a teenager, irrelevant thing to do…there was such a feeling of love and unity there what was the point? It was just out of place.” Yeah, have some since of decorum, M.I.A.! You’re embarrassing LMFAO, the greased-up golden gladiators and the guy who bounces on a slackline junk-first!

Madonna echoed a similar sentiment on Carson Daly‘s radio show this morning, even getting into M.I.A.‘s personal apology. “I like her and you know I believe in people having individuality and I like her punk rock attitude,” Madonna said of the “Bad Girls” singer. “I know she feels bad…I accept her apology, but you know, I think she still has her head in the sand right now. I’m not sure,” she admitted. Man, imagine how peeved Madge would be if there had been a full-blown wardrobe malfunction. Wait a minute…we saw right up that slackline guy’s toga! SOMEONE SOUND THE ALARM! BRING US THE EYE BLEACH, QUICKLY!

Kim Kardashian’s Wedding: Who Was There, What They Wore

Now that we’ve posted that video of Kim Kardashian‘s wedding, and you’ve seen the setting, it’s time for the dirty details. The photo you see above are the new hitched Mr. and Mrs. Kris Humphries emerging from their hotel the day after the wedding. But who came to the wedding and what was it like ?

Celebrity guests included — deep breath — Ryan Seacrest, Julianne Hough, Eva Longoria, Lindsay Lohan and mom Dina, Avril Lavigne, Melanie Brown (from the Spice Girls), Mark Ballas, George Lopez, Ciara, Cheryl Burke, Mario Lopez, Serena and Venus Williams, La La Vasquez and Carmelo Anthony, Kathy Lee Gifford, Brittny Gastineau, Sugar Ray Leonard, Kelly Osbourne and Demi Lovato. Phew! Robin Thicke serenaded the newly hitched couples first dance with the song Angels. (more…)

Julianne Hough Frolics In A Bikini For Rock Of Ages

We can just imagine Ryan Seacrest on the sidelines gritting his teeth and giving the death stare at the scenes unfolding before him. Fortunately, he wasn’t around to see his girlfriend Julianne Hough bounce around the Miami surf in a bitty bikini while making out with Diego Boneta (a Mexican singer and actor). Not because she’s dumped Seacrest, but for a scene in Rock of Ages. The photos may be NSFW, unless your boss is okay with seeing Hough’s legs wrapped around Boneta. We love how 80′s Hough’s accessories and bikini are! And damn, dancers have amazing bods! Which you’ll be able to envy in our gallery below.

American Idol Elimination Shocker: What Do You Think Of Last Night’s Results?

This season of American Idol is throwing us off our game. We’re so used to fast forwarding through intolerable Ford music videos and suffering through silly critiques from “musicians” like Will.i.am, but this season is changing all the rules and providing so much jaw-dropping entertainment. Literally, last night when Ryan Seacrest announced that front-runner Pia Toscano was this week’s eliminated contestant, our mouth hung open in awe. Toscano was gorgeous and wowed everyone from the get-go, but in all honesty, we didn’t think she’d take the whole thing because she lacks the stage presence and personality that some of the other contestants have. (Hell, Paul McDonald‘s painted blazer has more personality.) Still, we thought she’d make it to the top three and were shocked to see her go. Wonder if the judges are regretting using that save on Casey Abrams?

So tell us…

So Much American Idol Drama Last Night!

If you DVR’d American Idol last night and haven’t watched yet, a big spoiler alert to you all – you may not want to read on. Last night’s Idol was easily the most entertaining episode in recent years. A Steven Tyler birthday celebration! A wrestling throwdown in the (haunted!) Idol mansion, a special appearance by Hulk Hogan, and a hugely emotional finale. Come ON! So good. For the past two weeks, early favorite Casey Abrams hasn’t been performing as well as America liked though, with a terrifying version of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” two weeks ago and a slick-haired rendition of “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” on Wednesday.

America must’ve missed his upright bass or something because they voted Casey, who is one of the clear front-runners, to the very bottom last night and he had to sing for the judges. In case you missed it, Casey didn’t get more than fifteen seconds into his song when the judges dramatically stopped him and told him he was saved, causing a chain reaction of tears, screams, a pasty and shaking Casey on the verge of near-collapse (he does have health issues, we were worried for a sec), and then an awkward Casey headbutt into Ryan Seacrest‘s crotch. It was amazing. But with only one judges’ save per season, should they have used it on him? We’re glad they did, but what do you think, should they have saved it in case someone like James Durbin or Pia Toscano needed it?

Randy Jackson Swears He’s Not Trying To Be The New Simon Cowell On Idol

If you’ve caught any part of the tenth season of American Idol, you’ve probably been pleasantly surprised by the positive vibes new judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez give. Of course, it’s a little weird watching Tyler lip-sync to and flirt inappropriately with some contestants, but over all, they’ve proven to be solid judges, while Randy Jackson has clearly become the hard-ass with the snarky comments.

Jackson called in to Ryan Seacrest‘s radio show to respond to the comment that he was “mean” on last week’s show and in the process, declared that he’s not trying to be the next Simon Cowell, really, guys, he’s not. Jackson told Seacrest “I’m a very humble, kind, mild-mannered man and I just try to give people the honest truth. We have to feed it to them the right way…” He says the perceived meanness comes out when he’s confronted with an auditioner who isn’t a serious contender. “I think a lot of people sitting at home are probably like me, thinking, ‘Is this a serious audition or is this person just putting one over on us?’” So it’s in solidarity with the American people that Jackson takes it upon himself to shatter dreams. “I wouldn’t say I stepped into the Simon Cowell’s shoes,” Jackson continued. “I don’t think those shoes could be filled, nor would I want to be in them!” And truth be told, Simon was always far meaner than Jackson has been this season, but he’s definitely been the toughest judge this season. Maybe the change is in us. We’re so used to “You feel me, dawg?” that we haven’t become accustomed to this new, harsher Randy.

Ryan Seacrest Claims Simon Cowell Jealous Of His Career, Is In For A World Of Pain

ryan_seacrest_simon_cowell

We predict there will be tight t-shirts a-ripping and clumps of chest hair a-flying after Ryan Seacrest accused Simon Cowell of jealousy. The American Idol host claims that while a judge Cowell was “just so jealous of me… from Day One, he was envious of my career at such a young age.” Apparently now that Cowell is off AI and heading up The X-Factor, Ryan is under the impression Simon can’t physically hear the insults he says about him. Heads up to Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. Who knows if Seacrest will take out his claws once you’re gone too?

Now that Cowell is off the American Idol set, “There are less clouds of smoke. We start earlier. There’s less — what’s that English dish he always ordered for lunch? — Shepherd’s Pie,” snarks Seacrest. Hey! Shepard’s pie is delicious! Though Seacrest and Cowell were famously at each other’s throats the entire time AI was on air, last season seemed particularly tense between the two. After one extremely awkward encounter last March, Simon called Ryan “aggressive” on air, even asking him, “Do you want my job?” Both tried to play the insults off as playful banter, but by the end of Season 9 we knew that dislike was genuine. Maybe this explains why Cowell locked horns with Ellen Degeneres when was on AI too. He was just jealous of her sweet sexy dance moves.

Producers Confirm Big Changes For American Idol

Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson & Ryan Seacrest

While “head judge” Randy Jackson will undoubtedly still separate contestants into the “fire” and the “pitchy,” American Idol execs confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that much will change when the show returns with Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez later this month. While many of the Idol alterations were rumored by the same magazine last month (coincidence?), it’s now official that the Top 24 will likely be reduced to the Top 12 or 15, online voting is in the works, and contestants will no longer have to leave their genre of choice. “We’re not going to ask a country singer to sing an R&B song, or an R&B singer to do Led Zeppelin,” said new contestant mentor Jimmy Iovine.

While the contestants will indeed be living in a mansion together, it’s not clear whether American Idol will go full Real World on us as suggested. Other big news: a revamped set (shock!) and contestants singing more original songs—songs that will be released during the run of the show. Seems the producers have realized that, by the time a contestant gets an album together after the show, no one actually cares. “The sands of time are slipping through the hour glass and you want to capitalize while the public is so engaged in the story of winning or losing,” said Ron Fair. Only two more weeks before we find out how much sand American Idol has left!

Celeb Twitters Resurrected After Billionaire Gives $500,000

Thank you, Stewart Rahr, for giving half a million dollars to Keep A Child Alive. The children thank you, we thank you, and all those celebs who shut down their twitter feeds thinking fans would give enough of a crap to raise $1 million thank you. Yes, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Ryan Seacrest and even little Lenny Kravitz are free to tweet again, now that the billionaire owner of Kinray—known as “Stewie Rah Rah” for his name-dropping ways—has tossed them a twig off one of the money trees planted outside his $45 million home, taking care of the pesky second half of their goal. Bet the granddaughters of a certain pharmaceutical entrepreneur can expect star-studded birthday parties this year!

“Thank you so much and never stop buying life!” said Kim Kardashian. “So stoked to be back on twitter!” said Ryan Seacrest! “I’m alive!” said Usher, forgetting he already tweeted four times during his account’s “death” (jerk). “Weeee diddddddd itttttt!!!!!” said Keep A Child Alive head Alicia Keys, who might think about going straight to the damn billionaires next time.

Usher Breaks Twitter Charity “Death” Pact

“It’s truly a battle of Raymond Vs. AIDS,” said Usher about “killing” his Twitter late last month…and it looks like AIDS won! Though the Twitter “death” fund drive for Keep A Child Alive has made less than half of its million dollar goal, Usher has broken ranks with Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest and all the other stars staying mute for the charity. The singer tweeted yesterday, “Twit fam, I’m whack for being late, I need your help. Twit,Happy Birthday Rico Love!!! He is the man that wrote you ‘There goes my Baby.’” Hey, a good cause is a good cause, but Rico Love only gets one birthday a year!

Usher then went on to thank Atlanta for a great show, incoherently respond to a fan (“I’m listenin’ to you. I would’ve picked you…I didn’t hear you”) and give shout-outs to compatriots Chris Brown, Miguel, Trey Songz (“we shut it down!!!”) and “lil homie Prince JB” (whose mother calls him Justin Bieber). No explanation has been given for his memory lapse, and so far the rest of the celebs appear to be keeping quiet: will they give up too or is Usher that much more of a clueless jackass than his peers?
