Wolf Blitzer on Jeopardy: Not Smart

Saturday, September 19, 2009

Despite hosting CNN's The Situation Room every single day, Wolf Blitzer may want to try reading and paying more attention to current (and past) events.

By the end of his turn on Celebrity Jeopardy last night, Wolf racked up an -$4,800. Yup, negative. Apparently trivia questions such as which town King David and Jesus are from - Wolf said Jerusalem, not Bethlehem - were too much.

Blitzer even made a reference to "Julia Childs," plural, and had one of his few correct answers belatedly stricken from the board. Now that's rough.

"Wolf, things did not work out as well as you'd hoped, I'm sure," said Alex Trebek, diplomatically, pitying Wolf a gift $1,000 to play Final Jeopardy with.

For reference, Andy Richter absolutely ate Wolf alive with $68,000, which went to his charity of choice, the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Fortunately for Wolf, his charity automatically got a minimum of $25,000, though it would be pretty funny if it had to cough up $4,800 to cover him.

Our dream Celebrity Jeopardy matchup would pit Jessica Simpson against Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Now that would be unintentional comedy.

Celebrity Hair Affair: Katharine McPhee

Back in the day, Katharine McPhee finished second on American Idol (believe it or not, Chris Daughtry lost to both her and Taylor Hicks) and was known for her gorgeous looks as well as her musical talent. Term used semi-loosely.

Who knows what she's up to nowadays ... besides dying her hair! The singer debuted a new blond bob last night at the Ann Taylor runway show in NYC.

Halle Berry: Not Pregnant After All!

Halle Berry is not pregnant again. Sorry about that.

The Oscar winner sat down with Jay Leno last night and denied, right off the bat, that she was expecting a second bundle of joy with Gabriel Aubry.

Leno greeted Berry at the start of the interview by saying how great she looked, both an understatement and a great segue for her rumor control.

According to Halle, the "exclusive" and "official" report from a celeb gossip magazine earlier this month was just untrue. Oh well. No harm done.

The star was just a bit full at the time. Naturally.

"Thank you for that, Jay, because that must mean all these pregnancy rumors can be put to bed," Berry said, jokingly. "I was getting a complex."

"I was like, I gotta stop with the burgers or something!" Judging by the dress she wore during the interview, she doesn't have to worry too much ...

Lady Gaga VMA Performance Offends Former Teachers, Pretty Much Everyone

Sometimes, you simulate your bloody death at the end of your performance at the MTV Music Video Awards. These things happen when you're Lady Gaga.

As if her ridiculous outfits didn't generate enough publicity, the superstar singer is receiving feedback from her live version of "Paparazzi" on Sunday night.

A lot of the reactions aren't good, either.

Fans were a little freaked out by the rumored hermaphrodite simulating her murder at the hands of the paparazzi on stage. So were her former teachers.

Nuns apparently aren't a fan of this ...

Faculty members of the Convent of the Sacred Heart girls school in New York, where a little Italian girl named Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta matriculated for several years, are mortified, according to the New York Post.

Heck, even average viewers might have thrown up at the sight of it.

The paper reports that "When someone showed the nuns a video of her bloody performance at the VMA Awards, the good sisters were not amused."

Not entirely shocking, as it was pretty over the top, even for a young woman who walks around in no pants like it's her job. Which it kind of is!

Check out a video of Lady Gaga's gruesome MTV VMA performance ...

Jay-Z: Kanye West is Just "Passionate"

The only person yet to weigh in on Kanye West's Taylor Swift ambush at the MTV VMAs has finally said his piece, thanks to a BBC Radio 1 DJ who got ahold of him.

"It's an awards show," Jay-Z said, dismissing the controversy surrounding his collaborator and good friend Kanye. "He's just a super passionate person."

That's a nice way of saying "jackass."

Jay-Z, the husband of Beyonce, who Kanye was giving props to during his rant on stage, did acknowledge that, "Of course it was rude, it was her moment."

But, "that's the way he felt. It was rude, but the way they're treating him… He's on the cover of every paper. He didn't kill anybody. No one got harmed."

No. No one got harmed. Including Kanye himself. If he can blindside a cute, very talented 19-year-old, why can't the rest of the world take him to task?

Jay-Z has Kanye West's back ... to a point.

Jay-Z, who was at the center of some party-crashing drama of his own (thank you Lil Mama) continued to walk the line when defending his friend, saying:

"It just wasn't appropriate. It wasn't fair to Taylor at all."

But qualifying that with, "at the end of the day, we're gonna celebrate him for his passion more than vilify him. As he matures, he has to balance that."

Still, Jay-Z said he doesn't back West's promise to take a break: "I don't think he should lay low. I think he should move on and have a brilliant career."

Nicholas Prugo, Alleged Lohan Burglar, Has Rap Sheet

It looks as though the 18-year-old loser arrested this week for breaking into Lindsay Lohan's home is somewhat similar to the train wreck starlet he ransacked.

He too has a cocaine problem and a mug shot!

Nicholas Prugo was busted for possession of the drug in L.A. in February.

This is the troubled youngster's Carlisle Cullen-esque mug shot resulting from that arrest (and one of Lindsay's mug shots alongside him, just for fun) ...

These two should really date when Nick gets out of jail.

Nicholas Prugo pleaded guilty and entered an 18-month drug program, but may have violated the terms of that program, law enforcement sources say.

Interestingly, however, that violation looks like it was for something unrelated to the burglary, as he was already due back in court for it in November.

Prugo was also arrested last month in Beverly Hills for unknown reasons.

Dude was arrested yesterday on suspicion of the Lindsay Lohan looting. He is also a suspect in the break-in at the home of Audrina Patridge this year.

Rush Limbaugh: Pro-Segreation, Anti-Gay

Say what you will about Rush Limbaugh (and we have a feeling you will have no shortage of things to say), the conservative radio host does not mince words.

Rush devoted much of one of his shows this week to a tragic incident where a white teenager was beaten up on a school bus by an African-American teenager.

The attack was horrible and is being investigated by local police, but Rush Limbaugh seized upon it to pontificate about what he feels it is indicative of:

President Barack Obama spreading racism against white people.

According to the St. Louis-Dispatch, police say the beating was not racially motivated, and only transpired once the teenager chose the wrong seat to sit in.

After a caller phoned in and told Rush Limbaugh he did not think the beating was because of race, the blowhard responded with the following statement:

Rush Limbaugh sure knows how to blow smoke.

"I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, that's the lesson we're being taught here. Kid shouldn't have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses - it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama's America."

To be fair, Rush was probably only hyperbolizing and rambling to make his point and not really calling for segregation. Maybe. But it got worse, as Limbaugh continued, inexplicably comparing homosexuality with racism:

"If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable? Sorry. I mean, this is the way my mind works. Apparently now we don't choose racism, we just are racists."

"We are born that way. We don't choose it. So shouldn't it be acceptable, excuse - this is according to the way the left thinks about things."

This is a man who also thinks John Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter was his wife Elizabeth's fault, so you have to consider the source.

Well that's that. More importantly, is Rush on Team Taylor or Team Kanye?

Pink in Concert: Sexy or Scary?

After a record-breaking run abroad, Pink has brought her "Funhouse" tour to the U.S. It's a show that's one part Britney Spears, one part Lady Gaga and one part uniquely Pink, blending passion, glitz, glamor, music and crazy stunts.

She's even playing hurt!

At Seattle’s Key Arena this week, Pink announced that she separated her shoulder, but was so excited about the performance she didn’t even consider canceling, telling the audience, “The louder you cheer the less pain I feel!”

Talk about a performer.

Despite wearing the same dress as Shakira Sunday at the MTV VMAs, Pink more than made up for it with this unusual, outlandish outfit. It's very ... Pink.

Report: Khloe Kardashian Engaged to Lamar Odom, Will Get Married in Two Weeks

Updating a story from earlier today, sources confirm that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are not just thinking about rings and maybe getting married.

They are engaged and will tie the knot in the next two weeks!

"Khloe and Lamar want to get married before he has to go away for training, and the [basketball] season starts up [this fall]," a source tells Us Weekly.

"They are hoping to pull together a wedding within the next two weeks so they can get married and have time for a honeymoon," continues the source.

"They haven't decided where they will say 'I Do,' but they are scouting out numerous locations, including Khloe's family home in Calabasas, [Calif.]."

Earlier this month, Odom gushed that he was "very happy" with Khloe Kardashian, who stars with her pregnant sister on Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami.

"Khloe is smart and beautiful and that is very hard to find," he said.

Her other sister approves as well: "He's a great guy!" Kim Kardashian said of the couple, who have been all over each other, and L.A., in recent weeks.

THG first reported Khlamar were dating September 4, just two weeks ago. But when it's time to create headlines true love, sometimes you just know.

Odom recently signed a four-year, $33 million deal with the Lakers, who he helped win the NBA title ... but can Khloe really lock Lamar up for life?!

Will Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom actually get married?

Which Was the Worst Celebrity Meltdown?

September has been a wild month for bizarre, inappropriate outbursts and YouTube Hall of Fame moments, ranging from music to sports and even politics.

Which was the worst meltdown of them all? Let's review the contenders:

U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) wasn't a celebrity until his "You lie!" outburst during President Obama's health care speech. That was an all-timer.
Serena Williams, tennis legend, completely imploded with a profane tirade at a judge in the U.S. Open semifinals, leading to her disqualification.
Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Music Video Awards and belligerently said Beyonce's video was way better.

None of the above are likely to live down these infamous tirades anytime soon. But which was the most inappropriate? Vote in THG's survey below ...

Chris Noth: Engaged to Tara Wilson!

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

Mr. Big have a problem with commitment, but Sex And The City star Chris Noth has no problem with settling down in real life. He's engaged to Tara Wilson!

Noth proposed to his longtime partner, who is also known as Tara Lynn Wilson according to some publications, and they are now planning their big day.

The couple broke the news of their engagement at a fashion show over the weekend, where Tara Wilson was sporting a large diamond engagement ring.

A source reported of the day: “It all happened very recently. This is the first time they have appeared in public with her wearing that huge diamond ring.”

Further details of the impending nuptials have yet to be released.

Chris and Tara have been dating since 2004. They have 19-month-old son, Orion, together. Noth is currently shooting the Sex And The City movie sequel.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Alicja Bachleda: Pregnant via Colin Farrell!

About a month or so ago, we reported a rumor that actor Colin Farrell knocked up his girlfriend Alicja Bachleda (also known as Alicja Bachleda-Curus).

Well, the actor has officially confirmed the news!

At the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday, Colin Farrell went on the record saying that Alicja Bachleda is indeed carrying his love child. That settles that!

The couple began dating earlier this year.

Alicja Bachleda is the latest to be impregnated by Colin Farrell. Nice.

Farrell, who has a reputation for getting around, previously knocked up girlfriend Kim Bordenave, the mother of the star's five-year old son, James.

Hopefully Alicja Bachleda-Curus doesn't expect him to put a ring on it. Dude doesn't do that sorta thing. Kinda like Lil Wayne, only 2-3 kids short.

Congratulations to the couple, we guess!

Vanessa Hudgens Poses for Allure, Speaks on Nude Photos

While many readers may still be ogling Zac Efron and his recently-released 2010 calendar photos, the stud muffin's girlfriend is also featured in a new photo shoot.

Vanessa Hudgens covers the upcoming issue of Allure, which hits newsstands on September 22.

This month marks the two-year anniversary of the actress' infamous naked picture scandal, a topic that Hudgens still cannot avoid in interviews. Look at what she told Allure when asked if she'd ever get naked in a movie:

"If I say that it’s something I’m not comfortable with, they’re like, ‘Bullsh-t, you’ve already done it.’ If anything, it makes it more embarrassing, because that was a private thing. It’s screwed up that someone screwed me over like that. At least some people are learning from my mistakes.”

Some people not named Ashley Greene, that is.

On a sweeter, more innocent note, Vanessa talked with the magazine about her mom:

“I love her to death. She’s the sweetest, happiest woman I’ve ever met, the most free-spirited, delightful person, and I aspire to be just like her. The older I get, the more I find myself like my mom. She just has the best outlook.”

Take a Bow, Take Two: Lea Michele vs. Rihanna

Lea Michele stars on the new Fox hit, Glee.

The unique series is a musical comedy, as various well-known singles are remade by actors and actresses that portray characters in a high school gluee club. It's quite awesome.

To conclude last week's episode, Michele's Rachel Berry belted out a heartfelt version of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" that left us wondering: Might this be better than the original?!?

That may sound sacreligious to some, but watch the video below before you judge. Michele has some serious pipes on her:

Lea Michele, Take a Bow

We apologize ahead of time to Rihanna for even bringing up this comparison. We know she's been beaten a lot recently and we don't wish to cause her any more pain or suffering.

But the question remains: Which singer's version of this song do you prefer? Rihanna responds to the challenge below:

Jessica Simpson's Dog Daisy: Snatched By Coyote!

It's just not Jessica Simpson's year.

First celeb gossip sites post photos of her looking fat, then her country music label drops her from its lineup, then Tony Romo dumps her a night before her birthday, romancing younger, hotter Candice Crawford soon after. Rough.

The alleged singer-actress was dealt a new, sad setback last night when her beloved dog Daisy was abducted, allegedly by a coyote, in Southern California.

The maltipoo, which Nick Lachey gave Jessica as a sign of their undying love once upon a time, may have met a tragic demise similar to their marriage.

Jessica Tweeted that the "carmel [sic] colored" pup was snatched "right in front of her eyes" by a coyote last night. We're guessing Daisy wasn't on a leash.

She posted this reward notice:

Poor Daisy. Just look at that face! Sniff.

Coyotes have been roaming closer to the human population with the wildfires in the area driving them out of their natural habitat. People are being advised not to leave trash or pets outside as snacks for these hungry, wild animals.

Daisy is not the only casualty of this unfortunate scenario. Coyotes have to eat too. Keep dogs and cats inside, people of the L.A. metropolitan area.

We truly are sorry about Daisy and hope Jessica miraculously gets her back or adopts a new pet. Daisy can't be replaced, but all puppies are cute.

Maybe John Mayer can comfort her too.

Kristin Cavallari on Audrina Patridge VMA No-Show: Don't Look at Me

Kanye ruined everything for Taylor Swift. Lil Mama closed out the show in a really weird way. The New Moon trailer debuted. Stephanie Pratt showed off her heinous new face after plastic surgery turned her into an Aubrey O'Day knockoff.

Anybody who's anybody (at least in celebrity gossip circles) was at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday, and a wide range of quality stories naturally ensued.

This makes the absence of someone like Audrina Patridge all the more odd.

As we reported over the weekend, Audzo canceled her appearance at the VMAs because she didn't like producers' idea of presenting with Kristin Cavallari.

"They offered me a presenting spot and I declined," Audrina said, carefully choosing words and not elaborating, as if to intentionally not go there.

Kristin Cavallari says she wasn't behind Patridge going AWOL.

"We were never supposed to present together," Kristin said on the VMA red carpet. "I've known I was going to present with Nelly Furtado for a few days."

That said, Cavallari says she's amused by the new Hills spoilers and trailer that feature her all vamped up in that body-hugging minidress and killer heels while devilishly laughing in front of a sign that proclaims, "The Bitch Is Back."

"It's fun to play the bad girl on TV," Kristin said, without irony.

"I think it's really funny because anyone who knows me, my friends, would never say I'm a man-eating boyfriend-stealer like they're making me out to be."

Of course, she lived up to the witchy persona when asked if she had plans to see Patridge's new horror flick, Sorority Row: "Probably not," she said, flatly.

Olivia Wilde: Nude, Bikini-Clad in GQ

It's hard to believe there was a time when we thought of Olivia Wilde as the girl on House, or the chick who was somehow proclaimed Maxim's hottest woman in the universe. Seemed a bit of an exaggeration on the part of Maxim, right?

Maybe not. The October issue of GQ contains quite possibly the most gorgeous photo spread in the history of human civilization. C'mon, are we wrong?

We're going to say no. Check her out:

Nude Olivia Wilde needs to ditch the shoes. What's the point of those?

While the Olivia Wilde naked photo above is the only shot of her in the buff, there are plenty of other nude bikini pictures. As in the color nude.

Hey, if you're going to put on a bikini, that's the best color. It looks the least like clothing, after all. The least of many possible evils, in essence.

Click to enlarge more Olivia Wilde pictures below, and give thanks to GQ for one of its better efforts in recent memory. Okay, it's best ever ...

Kate Gosselin Shows Off New Hairstyle!

Farewell, reverse-mullet weave. Hello, new Kate Gosselin hair!

New hair that doesn't actually look completely awful... maybe!

On her second day as guest co-host on The View, Kate debuted a new wavy look: “You have a new hairstyle. It’s a first!” said Barbara Walters.

Added co-host Joy Behar, “It looks cute!” Gosselin gave credit to the show’s makeup artists: “Your girls back there, whoo baby! Isn’t it cute?”

Is it, though? Check out Kate Gosselin's new hairstyle here ...

Kate Gosselin shows off her new 'do on The View.

Later, Kate talked about why she’s still wearing her wedding ring: “I said very early on that I would continue to wear it for the kids,” she said. “We are not officially divorced yet, and I’ve had it on for 10 years. It’s upsetting to the kids.”

As for estranged ex Jon’s tirade about how he despises Kate: “Of course it bothers me. Will I return the favor? Absolutely not. I'm a high-road taker.”

Sure you are, KG. She was not asked about Jon's proposed new clothing line, Gosselin Gear. Probably for the best. Anyway, more importantly ...

Taylor Swift Accepts Apology from Kanye West

Barack Obama thinks Kanye West is a jackass.

Kelly Clarkson can't even comprehend how much she hates the rapper.

But the woman at the center of this week's controversy appears ready to move on from it. Taylor Swift told ABC News Radio this morning that she's heard from West, following his ridiculous interruption of her VMA acceptance speech.

"Kanye did call me, and he was very sincere in his apology, and I accepted that apology."

Last night, Kanye appeared on The Jay Leno Show and said:

"I'm just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else's hurt — and I don't try to justify it because I was just in the wrong... I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve."

Takers? Chris Brown Looks to Boost Career

Chris Brown's upcoming movie, Takers, actually looks pretty darn good.

Or will at least give people a chance to see Chris Brown do something other than answer questions about why he beat the living hell out of Rihanna.

In all seriousness, though, it could be cool.

Featuring the likes of Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, and even T.I. and Idris Elba (best known from The Wire and awkwardly amusing The Office quotes last season), the movie's working title was Bone Deep.

That title was dropped, possibly because it sounds like a movie Lindsay Lohan would star in - for free, every night from 2-6 a.m. - if ever one existed.

Everyone's after something. Including the newest version of Photoshop.

Takers features Chris Brown & Co. taking part in a whole host of precision heists, double-crosses, explosions and using firearms. Good fun all around!

Is this a good vehicle for Chris to jump-start his career after the speed bump he hit when he hit RiRi in Feburary? Check out the trailer for it below ...

Kim Kardashian Kritiques Kourtney Kardashian: She's a "Crazy Bitch"

According to Kim Kardashian, her sister is "huge" in two ways:

As a woman that's approximately six months pregnant;
As a bitch.

First, more obvious and less insulting things first.

Kim told E! News that Kourtney Kardashian - who is pregnant, in case you haven't heard - has a belly that is growing along with the human being inside of her. Incredible, we know.

"She's huge. She is huuuuge! I think she's in denial of buying maternity clothes, because she just borrows Khloe's clothes," Kim said, quickly explaining herself. "It's because Khloé is so much taller. Kourtney will take Khloé's top and wear it as a dress... She will not buy maternity clothes. I don't know what's wrong with her."

You mean, aside from a pathological need for attention? We don't know, either.

As for the upcoming season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim pretends as though Kourtney's pregnancy was not pitched to the family months ago by the writers. How dumb does she think we are?!?

"Kourtney is so moody," she said. "She is such a crazy bitch these days. She's so moody that I'm nervous to start shooting."

Just read the cue cards and you should be fine, Kim.

Barack Obama on Kanye Jackass Comment: Cut the President Some Slack!

It was pretty much accepted as fact that President Barack Obama said Kanye West is a jackass for his infamous VMA stunt, but there's audio confirming it now.

Obama's comments are even funnier than you think, too.

The Kanye remark was recorded just before Obama went on camera to conduct an interview with CNBC, and was not part of any sort of formal interview.

Before the interview began, Obama was shooting the breeze in the studio and was asked about Kanye's antics, which he described as "really inappropriate."

Of Taylor Swift, whose acceptance speech West inexplicably hijacked Sunday, Barack said she "seems like a perfectly nice person" and "didn't deserve that."

He then offhandedly summed up Kanye perfectly, saying, "Eh, he's a jackass."

Barack Obama's assessment of Kanye West is accurate and hilarious.

Perhaps the President of the United States was inspired by his interviewer referring to Kanye's ambushing of Swift as "giving her the Joe Wilson treatment."

After making the jackass remark, Obama asks "Where's the pool?" Someone in the background says, concurrently, "That's what Pink said!" Classic all around.

Obama recalled his last interview mishap, in which he was chastised for his ninja-like reflexes and killing an innocent, unsuspecting fly while cameras rolled.

"Cut the President some slack," he said.

To his credit, West has issued about 17 apologies since he rushed the stage Sunday, most of which appear sincere, and the latest of which Swift accepted.

Check out the off-the-record Obama audio here.

Jon Gosselin Denies Suicide Rumors

Despite all the drinking, partying, making out with Hailey Glassman and bashing of Kate Gosselin on national TV, Jon Gosselin wants to end it all.

Or so claims Radar Online, quoting the mother of Stephanie Santoro, his former babysitter / play thing, who claims Jon threatened to kill himself.

Jon's rep shot this down in approximately a nanosecond, telling E! News:

"It's sad that a grown woman and mother has time to go give an interview about a conversation she overheard. Jon is happy and enjoying his life."

"He's strong and getting by day by day, and he would never leave his kids."

"Jon's very happy and has a lot of great projects in the works. He has never tried to kill himself, and he definitely doesn't want to kill himself."

Why would Jon Gosselin kill himself? His life just began this summer!

Team Jon's theory about how the third-hand suicide rumors were sparked rests on his firing of Stephanie Santoro, who was linked romantically to the nation's most eligible bachelor and who caused a huge fight between Jon and Kate.

"He did have to get rid of the babysitter because Kate was upset about it. Jon denies sleeping with her," says a source. "It was causing too many problems at home, so he replaced her. So maybe that's why the mother is bitter."

We're glad he's alive, well and focused on the Jon Gosselin clothing line. The apparel will be marketed specifically to America's growing douchebag demographic.

In other Gosselin news, what does everyone think of Kate's new hair?

New Moon Photos of the Day: The Volturi

We're terribly sorry, Twilight Saga fans.

But we simply couldn't track down any new Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner photos today.

Our staff will rest up, wake up early to run a few suicides as punishment, and then put in maximum effort tomorrow to deliver the freshest, hottest pictures of these New Moon stars.

Fortunately, we've at least uncovered a few new promo pics for the movie. A quartet of actors new to the franchise - Michael Sheen, Cameron Bright, Christopher Heyerdahl and Jamie Campbell-Bower - are posing below as members of the Volturi.

Of course, the biggest New Moon news this week was the release of another theatrical trailer. Check it out NOW!

Hank Baskett: Forced to Fly Away from the Eagles

Michael Vick has struck again.

Fortunately, no pitbulls were injured as a result of the latest news surrounding Vick; just a Bunny and her husband.

Vick was taken off the Philadelphia Eagles exempt list today, meaning the team had to make room for the quarterback on its 53-man roster. The player cut by the squad? Mr. Kendra Wilkinson himself, Hank Baskett.

A wide receiver, Baskett is now free to catch on with any team in the NFL. Perhaps Philly's division rival, the New York Giants, could use his services.

That club recently lost wideout Hakeem Nicks to an injury. Moreover, Hank has extensive experience playing with giants. (That was a reference to Kendra's large boobs!)

Hank Baskett is now a statistic. He joins the rising ranks of America's unemployed.

VMA Fashion Face-Off: Beyonce vs. Solange

Beyonce was at the center of controversy last night - through no fault of her own.

If you missed it, that jackass Kanye West decided to interrupt Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, proclaiming that Beyonce was more deserving of Best Female Video after producing THE GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME!!!!!

To her credit, Beyonce was horrified, then reached out to Swift with a classy gesture after the incident. Yeah. Even she thinks Kanye West is a moron.

Moving on to more important things, girl was lookin' flat out FIERCE last night in that red dress. So vibrant. The plunging neckline and the shoes? Wow.

Not to be outdone, her sister Solange showed up and ... well, she was probably outdone. But that black number with the shaved head looked cool.

Who Knowles fashion better? Vote in our poll below!

Kelly Clarkson Lays the Written Smackdown on Kanye West

As if we couldn't love Kelly Clarkson any more...

The original American Idol woke up this morning and responded to Kanye West's outrageous behavior at last night's MTV Video Music Awards by taking to her official blog.

Kelly summed up our thoughts on the assholic Kanye perfectly, so we'll just let her take it from here...

“Dear Kanye, What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like s—. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty s—ty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways.

"It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you... which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you.

The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

“I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her... so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole... I just pity you because you’re a sad human being."

Amen, sister! Pink was less wordy, but equally vicious toward West. She Tweeted: Kanye west is the biggest piece of s*** on earth. Quote me.

As for Taylor Swift? The 19-year old cutie took the proverbial high road, simply saying: "I don't want to start anything because I had a great night tonight."

VMA Fashion Face Off: Ashley Greene vs. Adrienne Bailon

Granted, the Kanye West meltdown at last night's MTV Video Music Awards was the most shocking development of the night.

But this would be a close second: Ashley Greene and Adrienne Bailon showed up at the event - and both actresses were fully clothed!

We kid because we care, but Greene and Bailon were each involved in nude photo scandals earlier this year. Fortunately, the young stars remembered to don a dress for the event, as evidenced below.

But which celeb looked cuter? That's up to readers to decide. Compare, contrast and vote below...

Jay-Z VMA Performance Crashed By Lil Mama

Leave it to Lil Mama, whoever that is, to try to close out the already-strange 2009 MTV Video Music Awards with one of the oddest moments of the night.

While it wasn't as ridiculous or rude as Kanye West's meltdown and hijacking of Taylor Swift's speech, the spectacle of Lil Mama climbing on stage for no reason during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' VMA performance last night was still hilariously weird.

For nearly five minutes, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were performing “Empire State of Mind,” a number that was to close the always-memorable MTV award show.

But then there was Lil Mama, appearing out of nowhere, standing awkwardly beside Jay and Alicia in a B-girl stance, whatever that is, as the song ended:

What the hell was Lil Mama doing on stage with Jay-Z?

In short, it was a puzzling and random conclusion to the evening.

A representative for Jay-Z, quoted by Entertainment Weekly this morning, says she has “No clue how it happened.” That makes about 10 million of us.

Viewers and celebrities alike had a field day with it. Fabolous even Twittered "lil mama is JayZ’s hypeman, she jus got there late!" That one's pretty good.

It's actually not as remarkable as it sounds, especially following Kanye's drunken antics, but watching Jay-Z’s understated, yet perplexed-seeming body language when he sees her unannounced appearance is still worth watching.

Follow the jump for a video of Lil Mama crashing Jay-Z's performance ...

Happy Birthday, Sean Preston Federline and Amy Winehouse!

It's a small miracle that both of today's celebrity birthdays are even here today.

One survived massive amounts of mind-altering drugs, the other car rides on his mother's lap and nearly being dropped on his head when he was an infant.

Either way, we are thrilled to report that two favorites of THG have cheated death and are still breathing, to our knowledge, on this 14th day of September.
