Danielle Staub of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ fame wants to work with none other than Ke$ha on her upcoming album. What better than to have a trashy ho work with a trashy pop singer? The reality TV star said “I am going to be recording with a lot of people. There’s a potential of one big name … but I can’t confirm it. I’d like … no, I’d LOVE to work with Ke$ha. I have already recorded one more song and I’m going to do a total of five. Right now my album is untitled because the only song I have out is my single. Along with Ke$ha, I’d love to work with Ne-Yo! He’s got ‘Closer’ and I have ‘Real Close!’ Kat DeLuna and I are good friends so something further down the line with her too. I would love to have some mainstream rapper to come in a rap like 50 Cent!”
Just when I thought that he was getting somewhat tolerable, the douche that is Jared Leto has returned. The 30 Seconds to Mars lead singer decided that his band name was just too complete for all the little people to comprehend so he was kind enough to clarify. He said “The significance is that it makes people ask questions more than giving answers. It accurately describes our music. It’s a journey, it’s a lifestyle. We are more an experience, a community, a celebration — than we are music. An escape from reality.” I actually feel sorry for anyone actually thinking about the significance of the name.
Hit reality show Dancing with the Stars is about to get a whole lot Scarier.
Former contestant Mel B is in the running to take over as a co-host of the show.
Current co-host Samantha Harris has announced she is leaving the show, and producers are now racing to find a co-host before the celeb dance contest kicks off its new season on March 22 on ABC in the US.
A shortlist of replacements have been drawn up including two former contestants Melissa Rycroft and Brooke Burke.
But according to reports, it’s now Mel B who is the frontrunner to co-host the show.
The singer, Scary Spice in the girl band the Spice Girls, is also no stranger to the show, after she came in second place in season five.
And it has been revealed the mum of two was invited to the ABC studios this week for a screen test.
An announcement on Harris’ replacement is expected shortly.
Comedian and TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is making herself right at home at American Idol with the outrageous demands that she’s been making. Sources on the reality competition show suggest that Ellen has insisted that she gets a $150,000 clothing allowance for custom made clothing while she is on the show. Sources also say that Ellen won’t be taking no for an answer, saying “Ellen feels it’s only fair because Paula received a hefty allowance for hair, makeup and wardrobe.” But the thing is, Paula Abdul wore more than just a pair of pants and a collared shirt every week.
Kim Kardashian has revealed that she felt so certain that her ex Reggie Bush was going to propose, that she cut out photos of wedding dresses from bridal magazines before their summer break-up.
The reality TV star, 28, who has been married before, had been dating the NFL player for two-and-a-half years and said their romance crumbled because they couldn’t maintain a long-distance relationship.
“It’s hard when he’s playing [in New Orleans] during the season and I’m filming my show [in Los Angeles],” Kardashian said.
But the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star hinted that the relationship may not be completely over.
The two have recently been spotted together again – sparking rumours that they have reunited.
She said: “You never know what will happen in the future.”
Kardashian also credited herself with being able to turn life’s lemons into lemonade – when a sex tape that she made with singer Ray J was leaked on the internet in 2007, she said she was “devastated”.
“But when something negative happens, I pick myself up and move on,” she said.
Tito Jackson has revealed that a new reality show, The Jackson Dynasty, which follows the lives of the remaining Jackson brothers is due to air this month.
Tito, 55, revealed that a pilot had been shot in March and filming is to continue shortly. The singer recently flew to the UK to discuss his upcoming tour with Gladys Knight.
He said: “It basically shows… what [the Jackson brothers] are about musically, their recording and their personal life.”
The cable network A&E said earlier this year that the show would be a full series and not a one-off documentary as originally planned.
Tito’s superstar brother died in June and it is not yet known whether he will feature in the pilot show, which was filmed before his death.
Asked if he was concerned at being filmed following Jacko’s death, Tito said: “We’ve had cameras following us our whole entire lives, so that part of it is no problem and I have nothing in my life that I need to hide or whatever so I’m good with it.
“If anything, they’re gonna see how many girlfriends I have. We’re getting ready to continue our shooting, as little as next week so we’re going to pick it up in New York and go from there.”
Ellen DeGeneres – who admits she hates judging people – is worried that American Idol fans think she has taken Paula Abdul’s job.
The 51-year-old comedienne has announced she is to replace the singer in the ninth season of the show but she told American Idol host Ryan Seacrest she is worried she will be seen as the “evil” person that took “Paula’s job away”.
“I hope Paula is OK with it,” DeGeneres said on Seacrest’s breakfast KIIS FM radio show.
“I don’t want anyone to think that that I took Paula’s job away.
“She was gone and then everybody was looking for somebody else and then I stepped in.
“I certainly don’t want to be that person who is the evil-taking-Paula’s-job-away.”
But Seacrest reassured the chat show host that she is “loved by so many people” and she will “add something totally different to a show that’s been on for a long time”.
DeGeneres admitted that she has been an American Idol fan since the show first aired in 2002 and she was shocked when Abdul quit earlier this year.
She said: “I think, like everybody else, Paula was a huge part of the show. It’s been on for eight seasons now…
“I think that she’s part of the American Idol family – that’s how I felt. I was surprised and I don’t really know what happened…
“I was sad and I thought that’s got to be a hole that’s going to be filled by somebody who is really gonna contribute in a totally different way.
“I had no idea. I didn’t think about it for a second it would be me. I was a judge on [US reality show] So You Think You Can Dance – that started people talking.
“They didn’t even ask me to be a guest judge. It went straight from: ‘Would you like to be’ and I had no idea that this was even a possibility.
“And when they came to me, I was like: ‘Oh my God – are you kidding me? I love that show. I absolutely would give almost anything to be a part of it’.”
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has revealed that she is going to bring out her first perfume.
The 28-year-old, who stars with her family in reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, is said to be launching her first fragrance through US beauty company Lighthouse Beauty.
She said: “Collaborating with Lighthouse Beauty was a really creative, innovative process.
“What’s so different about their approach is that they have worked so closely with me on all aspects of my fragrance, the bottle… so I can develop a product that truly represents me and speaks to my fans… The fragrance really captures who I am.”
No further details have been released about Kardashian’s forthcoming fragrance.
Kim Kardashian Twittered her way through a passport panic at an airport in South Africa, after losing her vital documents.
The 40-minute crisis occurred earlier today as reality-TV star Kim, 28, touched down in South Africa from the Republic of Botswana, where she had enjoyed a short charity trip with her younger sister Khloe and NFL star boyfriend Reggie Bush.
Soon after realising her passport was missing, Kim posted the message: “I lost my passport! I’m stuck in costumes [sic]! OMG! OK, breathe we are going back to the plane to check!”
Minutes later, after checking the aircraft, the glamour model wrote: “My passport is NOT on the plane! I’m literally going to cry!”
As the drama continued, frantic Kim called on her loyal followers for support.
“OK Twitterville I need your positive energy! Reggie is on his way to the plane to look again! Pray he finds my passport! Come on Bush!”
Thankfully, New Orleans Saints player Bush saved the day.
However, notoriously foul-mouthed Khloe, 25, couldn’t resist a sly dig at her sister.
She Twittered: “Regina saved the day!… Go Reggie. I guess he will be getting boned tonight!”
Levi Kereama, the wild card contestant on the first season of Australian Idol has passed away, apparently of suicide. Hours after he and his band performed at the Parklife Festival in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens and Riverstage, the 27-year old singer fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Brisbane, Australia. It is believed that Kereama was suffering from depression though nothing is completely certain yet. In the wake of his death, several fan pages have offered their condolences and support, including encouragement to reach out for help. I wish Levi’s family the best during this trying time. And remember, suicide is not the answer.
Jade Goody is pushed in a wheelchair outside hospital by ex-boyfriend Jack Tweed — as she faces a third cancer scare.
The Big Brother legend, 27, cuddled son Freddie, three, as devoted Jack wheeled her around hospital grounds. It followed a week of tests to try to fathom what’s wrong with Jade.
Her agent Mark Thomas said: “We still don’t know what’s wrong but, yes, it is a cancer scare. Jade has undergone a series of tests but the doctors can’t pinpoint the problem. She’s still in pain and it’s a worry.”
Jade fainted at her luxury home in Upshire, Essex, last Saturday — the fourth time she has collapsed. When she came to she realised she had been bleeding.
The mum-of-two rang 999 and was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex.
Since then, Freddie and brother Bobby Jack, five — Jade’s sons with TV presenter Jeff Brazier — have been looked after by Jack and Jade’s mum Jackiey.
Mr Thomas added: “Jade and Jack are no longer an item but remain very close friends. He’s helping her out with the kids and has been great.”
Jade was previously tested for bowel cancer in 2006 and ovarian cancer in 2004, but was given the all-clear both times. She suffered a miscarriage last year, but is not currently pregnant.
Jade’s condition stabilised last night and she was released from hospital. But she faces more tests next week.
Jack, 21, who split from Jade earlier this year, is due to be sentenced for assault next month after he attacked a teenager with a golf club.
Former 98 Degrees front man Nick Lachey has finally gotten a job! The former singer is set to host ABC/Disney’s ‘High School Musical: Summer Session’. The show is basically a talent show based on the hit ‘High School Musical’ franchise. The show is set to premiere on June 20th. This is Nick’s first so-called real job since his reality gig ‘Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica’ went off the air and he divorced from Jessica. I’m not counting the album he recorded after that because it flopped anyway. Was his brother Drew not available? He’s become the more famous brother after ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Drew should have been the host.
Jennifer Lopez is set to star in her own reality TV show.
The ‘I’m Real’ singer – who recently gave birth to twins, Max and Emme, with husband Marc Anthony – will allow cameras into her life to show how she juggles her career with motherhood.
Jennifer – who will also produce the series on US cable station The Learning Channel (TLC) – said: ‘I’m looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together.’
TLC President Angela Shapiro-Mathes added: ‘Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience.’
The series – which will also focus on the launch of the star’s latest fragrance – is currently in production.
Jennifer, 38, is the latest in a long line of celebrities to have their own reality TV show. Pamela Anderson recently signed up for her own series, which will also document how the mother-of-two copes with the demands of work and family life.
Jessica Simpson starred in MTV show ‘Newlyweds’ with ex-husband Nick Lachey, while Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack Osbourne proved a huge hit with viewers when cameras followed their everyday lives.
Believe it or not, American Idol’s resident meanie actually does have a heart. A family in Minnesota know this better than most of us.
Randy and Amy Stoen went on Oprah to talk about their daughter Madelaine’s medical condition. She has a rare form of facial cancer. A friend told Simon Cowell about it, and he paid their mortgage off. Wow.
He actually went on Oprah’s show himself to tell them. He said, I know that you’re having problems with your mortgage. And as of this afternoon, your mortgage has been paid off. If there’s any problems, you know, I’m a guardian angel now.”
Who knows, Ellen might have enjoyed it more than you might think.
Christing Aguilera was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, just a month after giving birth to son Max Liron. she was seen in a lovely green dress with a deep plunging neckline. The neckline gave Ellen (and the rest of us) a nice view of the goods, which have increased dramatically in recent weeks.
Ellen asked Christina, “One question: Are you nursing?” Christina Aguilera found the question humorous, answering, “I guess it’s a little obvious.” Ellen’s quip? “He’s gonna be a healthy boy.”
Ringo Starr chose to walk out on fans and he also chose to walk out on ‘Live with Regis and Kelly’. The 67-year old former Beatle was supposed to appear on the show on Tuesday but moments before he was scheduled to go live, he walked off the set.
Sources are chalking it up to a miscommunication when Ringo was given only 3 minutes to perform a 4-minute, 15-second song. He then chose to hightail it out of there after he wasn’t given any more time. According to his rep, “Ringo left saying, ‘God bless and goodbye. We still love Regis.’”
Despite her love for the cameras, Pam says she’s not signed up to star in a reality show with her husband Rick Solomon. Rumors were flying that they were going to allow us to watch their newlywed life. Umm, as if I want to?!She says on her website that she’s toyed with the idea, only to show people what it is like to be in a Vegas stage production and create a show. Pamela has been starring in Han Klok’s magic show in Sin City. One thing’s for sure, though – she’d never include her children.
She says this, “The choices I have to make now are about quality of life. And meaning: Not about money or fame for no good reason.”
Barbara Walters is a pioneer for women in journalism. She paved the way for many who have followed in her footsteps. Perhaps she is most famous for being able to convince celebrities to bear their very souls in an interview.
Now she says she just won’t do it anymore. This news came just before her annual showing of “The 10 Most Fascinating People”. It aired Thursday on ABC. She says, “I am not going after the tabloid stuff, I don’t do it.”
She would not include Britney or Paris in this special, she says, “abandoning the week in, week out, competition for getting the next name, the next person out of rehab.” Instead she chose real newsmakers like former President Clinton, the creators of “MySpace”, and Don Imus.
Doesn’t she realize that we don’t care what these people might say about foreign policy or the war? We wanna know the dirt. We wanna see the rehab patients. They make us feel good about ourselves!! C’mon Babs, honey, retire already.
It’s been a while since we all saw Donny and Marie Osmond take the stage together. But the celebrity siblings have announced that they are reuniting to perform together again for a show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas from July 17-23, 2008. Donny told ET that he and Marie can hardly wait for it.
The two entertainers have been through an emotional year which brought them even closer together. This time brought them to the realization that it’s time to relive the magic of their days on their TV show but this time, with a touch of Vegas.
Mary Delgado is one of the girls that were on the Bachelor reality show and succeeded o be proposed to. The quite perfect image she fabricated for herself is far from her real personality. Usually the world thinks that girls who get proposed to on The Batchelor are the perfect woman to marry, but TV lies as usual.
Mary has been arrested for assault on none other but her living partner for over three years. Friends describe their relationship as a true marriage, even though they didn’t get the papers done, so now the fisherman Byron Velvick who previously proposed to her can get a glance of the mistake he was about to make.
Punching her boyfriend in the mouth caused her conviction, and she was escorted to police quarters the day after. Mary didn’t make any statement regarding her gesture, she didn’t say anything in her defense and didn’t try to deny it.
