Oh, that Paula Abdul! Always good for a laugh--even if they are all at her expense.
So, last night on "American Idol" each of the remaining 5 contestants had to sing two Neil Diamond songs. Because the show is only an hour, Ryan Seacrest hauled them out like cattle after they all sang their first song and had the judges do a quickie critique. Paula does her thing, but one problem: she gives feedback to Jason Castro on two songs. Which means one of two things: the show is scripted beyond belief--which could account for Ryan's semi-flustered "you're seeing the future, baby" comment--or Paula was late taking her meds. Or early. Could go either way there.
Paula claimed she got mixed up (shocking!) and that her second song comments were really meant for David Cook's first song. Of course that doesn't explain why her first reaction was "I thought you sang twice" when called on her blunder. Doh!
I swear, though, it made my night watching this. I love the shot of the contestants on stage as she's talking. You know they're all thinking "Huh?" That crazy pillhead really does bring the unintentional comedy gold, that's for sure.
Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiancé Casey Aldridge spent the weekend four-wheeling with friends in Liberty, Mississippi. Because she’s 6 months pregnant and everyone knows you should jostle around unborn babies as much as possible. “Try to violently rock the mom back and forth,” doctors often say. They also recommend roller coasters and wild broncos, if you have access to some.

BROOKE HOGAN IS ALL BUFF
In the "are you kidding me" news, Jamie Lynn Spears freaked out after watching a video on childbirth with her mother Lynne. Jamie was so upset she now demands having a C-section and tons of drugs to knock her out so she can sleep through the whole thing.
It's reported that she was so upset at the sight of childbirth that she actually upchucked right then and there. As source through her mother Lynne Spears said “It was too graphic for her. She flipped out and literally got sick.”
Her mother was trying to help by showing Jamie the beauty of childbirth, but all Jamie Lynn saw was the blood - or ‘goop’ as she called it - the screaming and the pain.
Well, it appears Jamie Lynn is mature enough to be a mother.
Naomi's had a crazy year thus far: she had an emergency surgery in Brazil in February and then was arrested for hocking a loogey on a cop in London's Heathrow Airport in April.
Now, it seems that the rage-prone supermodel will be toning it down and getting back to business with a cameo in the season finale of Ugly Betty. It's about time that her agent found her something to do that would net her some good PR for a change.
In season two, Victoria Beckham made an appearance on the show playing a bridesmaid, and it was certainly one of the more successful ventures she's had in a while. Will Naomi's appearance repair all the negative press that she's drawn in the last few months?
Apparently, Naomi was supposed to be on last year, but her role never materialized because of the protracted writer's strike. Last time around, Campbell was supposed to play "a loony who loves to shop and can't find a man." No details haves been given away about the character she'll be playing this time, but we hope that she plays an anger management counselor or something ironic like that.
Everybody’s doing it these days… reality TV. And new mommy Jennifer Lopez and her hubby Marc Anthony have signed on with The Learning Channel to let the world in on their crazy life.
According to TLC President Angela Shapiro-Mathes, the new show will, “deliver a slice of [Lopez’s] life that audiences have never seen before, as she takes on her career and launches a new fragrance while trying to juggle her new responsibilities as a first-time mom.”
J. Lo told press, “I’m looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together,” as the show was announced. Shapiro-Mathes commented, “Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience.”
The new yet-untitled show is still in the development stages, hence there’s no launch date as of yet. But stay tuned to Gossip Girls for all the latest developments in J. Lo’s reality show.
Ashlee Simpson doesn’t know when to quit. The bad actress was on Ellen, and was asked point blank if she was pregnant. Here’s what was said:
Ellen: So I can’t let you sit here and not ask you the question, the elephant in the room, Now, are you or are you not pregnant?
Ashlee: Well, that has been going on for quite a while. That is definitely something that I choose personally not to discuss except for the fact that maybe. Do I look like I had 10 cheeseburgers or something, because I don’t think I do.
Ellen: No. You don’t look pregnant at all but everybody is saying you are. Let me just ask you this. I think it’s a personal thing, but you’ve got to promise me that you’re not going to keep this answer up as long as this woman did. [Holds up picture of Jennifer Lopez] Don’t do that.
Ashlee: No, I’m not. I swear.
Ellen: At some point let us in on it.
Ashlee: I promise you that. I give you my pinky on that.
Ellen: Is it a boy or a girl?
Ashlee: Ah, you’re funny.
Drop the act Ashlee. We’re not that stupid, but obviously you are. Honestly, if I didn’t feel obligated to reported ALL celebrity news to HG readers, I wouldn’t even bother with someone as disrespectful to her fans as Ashlee.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- "Transformers" actress Megan Fox is the sexiest woman in the world -- at least according to FHM magazine.
Fox tops FHM's annual 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll of its readers. The 21-year-old model-actress beat out the likes of Angelina Jolie (No. 12), Rihanna (No. 14), Kim Kardashian (No. 17), Paris Hilton (No. 77) and last year's champion, Jessica Alba (No. 3).
Fox debuted on the annual list in 2006 at No. 68 and ranked at No. 65 in 2007. Joining her in the top 10 this year are -- in descending order -- Jessica Biel, Alba, Elisha Cuthbert, Scarlett Johansson, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Hilary Duff, Tricia Helfer, Blake Lively and Kate Beckinsale. Britney Spears came in last place at No. 100.
Current "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Shannon Elizabeth (No. 46) returned to the ranking after being absent last year, joining professional dancers Cheryl Burke (No. 40) and Karina Smirnoff (No. 78).
FHM said nearly 9 million votes were cast for the 14th edition of the annual poll.
Sandra Bullock Helps Save the Earth – with Candles
Some environmentalists advocate recycling. Others suggest driving hybrid cars. Sandra Bullock is doing her part for the environment with a line of soy wax candles.
The actress taped an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show – scheduled to air Tuesday – to commemorate Earth Day. During her time with Oprah Winfrey, the actress revealed, "I started researching and you find out about lead wicks and chemicals in your candles." Her solution? To use soy wax, which is a "renewable resource."
Said Winfrey: "Sandra's in the earth-friendly candle making business," prompting a laugh from the actress who joked: "Yeah, [it's] something to fall back on."
– Brian Orloff
Hollywood star Sandra Bullock is doing her bit to save the environment. She is launching a range of eco-friendly candles. Sandra unveiled her wax creations on an episode of Oprah Winfrey’s talk show today, Earth Day in the U.S.
She revealed how she developed the line of candles using soy wax, after learning all about the chemicals that are normally used in their production.
She explained, "I started researching and you find out about lead wicks and chemicals in your candles. (Soy wax) is a renewable resource." Sandra is very happy with her new hobby, she joked that it could provide her with a second career: "(It’s) something to fall back on."
I urge you to watch this video. To me… it is incredibly disturbing. The video is obviously a propaganda piece for PRO Christianity and a little Obama bashing, but that doesn’t happen until the end. Just disregard that part. The part that is disturbing is the incredible reach and influence that Oprah has over MILLIONS of idiotic women of this (US) nation. Women that have filled their lives with loveless marriages and children of convenience. Now Oprah is trying to fill that void with the makings of a cult. This cult is no different than Scientology. Telling us that there is no death, no God, or maybe even (in Scientology’s case) that we are filled with aliens.
Oprah is a powerful woman, and that makes her a dangerous woman. She has now officially jumped the shark. She has caught the next train to crazy town, and she just got about 2 million women to follow her. Watch this video in disbelief as I have. The woman is nuts. (I smell a YAAFM.)
I think this is great. Normally I can’t stand Oprah but I have to agree with her on this one. I believe a lot more than 2 million people think this way.
The only slamming I see in this is slamming of organized religion and the B.S. they have pushed on people. If you want to debate on this, let me know. I’ll stick up for this. (guess I’ll be in the y.a.a.f.m. too LOL)
I can’t believe I’m saying this. “You go girl”
Spoiler alert!! The season finale of “Oprah’s Big Give” is tonight on ABC at 8 p.m. EST, and we’ll finally have a winner chosen. The three finalists are Brandi Milloy, Stephen Paletta, and Cameron Johnson.
“Oprah’s Big Give” Season Finale
The premise of the show is to take the ten contestants and challenge them to change the lives of others by giving. At the end of each episode the participants are judged on their creativity, accomplishments, leadership, and presentation. What the contestants don’t know is that they’re also competing for a $1 million prize of their own.
The show has had celebrity participants all the way through, and tonight on the season finale Jennifer Aniston makes her guest appearance. The producers have been touting a “big secret” that Jen reveals, and my guess is that she gets to drop the $1 million bomb on the final three.
The challenge for tonight’s show is that the contestants are given no money and little time to make a difference.
I’ll update with the results after the show … stay tuned!
Update: Cameron, Steve and Brandi decide to make their last big give a donation to the Chicago Hope Academy. Cameron and Brandi aren’t too excited that Steve is using his own connections, and then Steve steals the spotlight from the group in announcing a show by the Blue Man Group … even though it was Cameron who was able to get the guys to perform and get a $100,000 donation.
Brandi and Cameron have left Steve to handle the Blue Man Group on his own … without telling him. Steve is a little embarrassed that Cameron got this donation and then didn’t even show up. Traffic sucks in Chicago apparently. Right now Steve looks like he’s in the lead, but there’s a lot of show left.
Brandi finally pulls something off. She set up a once a month cooking class at Shriner’s Hospital and Cameron’s $10,000 went to toys, books, and movies for the kids.
They’re back in the studio for the judges’ decision. But first it’s Jennifer Aniston’s turn to give. Every participant on the show received $30,000 just for competing, and they had no idea.
Here we go! And the winner is … Stephen Paletta!! Brandi and Cameron each received $100,000 and Stephen got $500,000 for himself and $500,000 to give to others.
See more photos of the contestants from “Oprah’s Big Give” and a video clip introducing the contestants below.
Enjoying a break from her busy filming schedule, Jennifer Aniston took in the rays at the swimming pool by a Florida hotel on Saturday (April 19).
The 39-year-old former Friends star is currently residing in the Sunshine state while she films “Marley & Me” alongside Owen Wilson.
In related news, as previously reported by Gossip Girls, Aniston is lined up to be the surprise guest star on tonight’s (April 20) season finale of Oprah’s Big Give, airing at 8 PM on ABC.
Of appearing on the show, Jen tells: “I wouldn’t miss it … This is such an amazing, fantastic thing, to see all of these people compete to outgive each other.”
| Jenna Jameson at Erotica L.A. held at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, Calif. on June 23, 2007. |
When a secret government agency lets out a deadly chemo virus causing the reanimation of the dead, the first place to get hit is the hot underground strip club, Rhino. As Kat (Jenna Jameson), one of the club’s strippers, gets the virus, she turns into a supernatural, flesh-eating zombie stripper, making her the hit of the club.
The strippers then fall into two categories -- the girls who follow the star stripper to become zombies themselves, and the ones who choose to fight it, until they obviously can no longer compete.
As more of the strippers are turned into zombies that are feeding on the clientele, club owner Ian Essko (Robert Englund) stuffs the once-dead customers in a cage in the basement, for lack of a better idea, and revels in all of the money his reanimated strippers are bringing in.
Adult industry superstar Jenna Jameson crosses over into the mainstream in a big way, with her starring role in the Triumph Films slasher flick Zombie Strippers. Aside from possessing the considerable skills responsible for her success in adult entertainment, Jameson displays a natural ability for comedy, as well as a fearlessness, when it comes to working while covered in blood and rotting flesh. The 34-year-old, newly retired porn star spoke with MediaBlvd Magazine about her desire to be the best at whatever she does in life.
MediaBlvd Magazine> What attracted you to Zombie Strippers?
Jenna Jameson> First of all, I am a huge horror movie fan. Always have been. I used to sneak out of my bedroom at night and go turn on HBO. My favorite movie was John Carpenter’s The Thing because I loved the fact that it made it so I couldn’t sleep. It freaked me out so bad, and I loved that adrenaline rush. I’m a porn star, so I obviously have a thing with adrenaline. But, horror movies always made me have that weird, yummy sexual feeling.
MediaBlvd> Before you even knew it was sexual?
Jenna> That’s exactly right. I had no idea it was sexual, but there is this weird, indescribable feeling that I get from horror movies. So, when they put this script in front of me, I was like, “This title is brilliant -- Zombie Strippers. Of course, everybody’s going to love this movie, especially if you’re male.” But, once I started reading the script, I was like, “Wow, this is so telltale of what my life has been, fighting against the establishment, being a rebel, never letting anybody tell me who I should and shouldn’t be.” So, I loved the fact that it had so many political undertones. It’s not really what you would expect with a campy, dark movie like this, so it was exciting to even be a part of it.
MediaBlvd> How important was the political stuff to you?
Jenna> It was really important because my whole entire career has been based upon taking cover from the establishment. When Bush came into office, I had just started Club Jenna. I was producing my own movies, which was a big departure for women, in my industry. No women really did what I did, so all of a sudden, I had this glaring spotlight on me from the right wing psychos saying, “You’re going to go to jail. This is obscenity.” And I was like, “Hold on a second! What do you mean? This is art. Are you kidding me?” So, I really spent a good portion of my career worried about whether or not I was going to go to jail.
MediaBlvd> If you were against the government intrusion into strip clubs and lap dances, what could you do to help the cause?
Jenna> Support your local stripper. No, I think that it’s really about living free. Whenever there’s something that bothers you, when it comes to what’s going on in your community or what’s going on in your government, you need to do something about it. Don’t just sit there and complain about it. Go out and do something about it because it makes a difference. I bought a strip club in Scottsdale, Arizona, called Babes. It’s been there for 30 years. When I bought it, the mayor of Scottsdale tried to close me down. The club had been there for 30 years, but just the fact that I bought it made her want to close it down because she thought that I was going to be bringing in drugs and prostitution. This is what people that aren’t in the know think of my industry. It’s embarrassing that people can have such lack of knowledge. So, I went and fought the city council, and I won, and she ended up stepping down. She’s no longer mayor, which is amazing. It just goes to show that one person can make a difference, when it comes to those kinds of things. So, vote.
MediaBlvd> Did you have to familiarize yourself with the philosophy cited in the film?
Jenna> Like Nietzsche? Yeah, I thought that it would be important. I fancy myself a smart chick, so I went into it thinking that I’m well versed and that I know what I’m talking about. Then, Jay (the director) said, “You’re going to be reading Nietzsche in the opening scene,” and I was like, “Who?” So, I tried to do a little bit of studying, when it came to getting ready for my character.
MediaBlvd> Now that you’re making Hollywood movies, will you become one of those actors with a no nudity clause?
Jenna> I already have one. No, I’m kidding. For me, nudity is incredibly expected. People know more about my body than I know, so I really want to approach this in a different way. I want to do things that aren’t expected of me, so getting great roles is on my agenda. If nudity comes along with it and it’s called for, then that’s fine. It’s very easy for me. If you work this hard on your body, you should show it off.
MediaBlvd> Do you worry about any potential casting couch situations?
Jenna> No. People are so intimidated by me, are you kidding? If some director or producer tried to do that, they know they’d be put in a headlock, pretty quick. I do date the UFC champion of the world (Tito Ortiz), so there are no worries.
MediaBlvd> What was your first meeting with Jay Lee like?
Jenna> I wanted to go into it and show them that I am this character. When I read this script, I was like, “This character is me. It’s not going to be a big stretch for me. It’s this bossy, streetwise, jaded stripper. Okay, that’s me.” So, I just went in and they said, “Do you need choreography training, or anything like that?” And, I said, “Actually, I’ve danced all my life, so no worries there.” And, within five minutes of meeting Jay, he was like, “You got the part. No problem. You’re done.” So, it was pretty easy. Seriously, it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in business, 100%. It was a very easy situation. The only hard part was the make-up process. That was brutal. It was 6-8 hours in the makeup chair. For my end fight scene, where I get my legs and arms ripped off, I had to have an exoskeleton put onto my body and I had to stand on weird bars that propped me up and had the skeleton dangled underneath me. It was crazy. There was a lot put into this movie. I didn’t really know what I was getting into, when I signed up. Halfway through it, I was like, “Oh, my God!” I spent two hours a night, trying to get all the blood off. That stuff stains your skin and your hair. I was pink for like a month, afterward.
MediaBlvd> Had you seen Jay’s previous film, The Slaughter?
Jenna> I had not seen the movie prior to meeting him, but once I did meet him, I watched it. I was immediately taken. He’s able to really capture what horror fans really want to see, which is super gore. If I watch a horror movie, I don’t want to have the whole build-up, like with Alien, which is also great. I just want it to get to the part where they rip the heads off. So, when I read the script, I was like, “Okay, if they can pull off this stuff, this is going to be the best horror movie ever made.” Once I saw the final film, I was like, “Holy shit, they pulled it off!”
MediaBlvd> Did you get the same thrill, making a Hollywood movie, that you did with your adult films?
Jenna> I think that I got more of a thrill. After 13 or 14 years in the adult industry, I was becoming somewhat jaded, and a little bit bored. So, I was excited to do something that I was super passionate about. I really, really loved the idea of being a scream queen. This was the ultimate. I got to be a powerful girl in a horror movie. I wasn’t just this little girl getting her head ripped off, or her throat ripped out. I played a powerful woman that ate men. I love that. I’ve always wanted to eat a man.
MediaBlvd> Why do you think you became the number one star in porn?
Jenna> I don’t know. I’m really driven to be number one. I always have been, all my life. With anything that I do, I feel like I need to monsterize it. I just have to be number one. I’ve got to exceed everybody’s expectations. I want to change people’s views and I want to surprise people. And, I knew that being a porn star is something that a lot of people, at the time, really looked down on. I knew that I would actually be able to bring a new kind of power and feminism to what people perceive to be pornography. I saw it as a huge challenge.
MediaBlvd> How much of it was your look? Could you have been every bit as successful, as a brunette?
Jenna> Yeah, absolutely. And, I tried it for a little while. I really believe in building a brand and an image. I was known as this girl-next-door, that was relatable, for so long that, when I dyed my hair brown, people just didn’t get it. They couldn’t process it. So, within a couple of months, I went right back to blonde. I was like, “Okay, this is my moneymaker.”
MediaBlvd> So, it’s about the hair then?
Jenna> It’s the full package. You have to have the whole thing. I had my breast implants removed last year, partially because I didn’t feel comfortable with them, but it was also a rite of passage for me. Retiring, I felt like they were something that held me back, as a woman. I didn’t feel as real as I do now. There is an image that you build, as a porn star. You have to be a certain way, and look a certain way. It’s nice to make a departure from that now.
MediaBlvd> Hasn’t porn become more mainstream than horror now?
Jenna> It’s kind of crazy. Nowadays, a lot of B-list and C-list actresses have to become semi-porn stars in order to become popular, like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. There are a lot of them, like that girl, Audrina, from The Hills, who just released those nude photos. Every time the paparazzi are waiting for me, that’s what they ask me. “What do you think about this girl’s pictures?” I’m like, “Obviously, that’s what they have to do to be a star now. They have to be Jenna Jameson.”
MediaBlvd> As a professional, do you resent these amateurs?
Jenna> It’s fucking great, man. They’re just making what I do, so much more solid. But, they need to start polishing up their game. After watching that Kim Kardashian movie, I mean, come on, girl.
MediaBlvd> What advice would you offer would-be sex tape celebrities?
Jenna> Buy a lighting package. Seriously, get yourself a tripod and a lighting package because nobody likes cellulite.
MediaBlvd> How do you get your body ready for the beach?

| Jenna Jameson & Tito Ortiz at the AVN Awards held at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 12, 2008. |
Jenna> Now that I’m with Tito, my whole life is based around being athletic. We work out together, and I bust my ass in the gym, not because I want to be thin or paparazzi ready, but because it’s about my health now. I went through a cancer scare, about three years ago, and I beat it. Ever since then, I really focus myself on being healthy and feeling good. I have a lot more time on my hands now, so I can work out. A lot of women out there don’t really have that. They have kids, they have husbands and they have jobs. We can’t expect everybody to look like a supermodel. I’m just lucky because it’s my job.
MediaBlvd> What’s your best move on a stripper pole?
Jenna> There is an art form to stripping. I was just talking to a friend of mine because I was thinking that I want to start doing a women’s retreat, where I teach them how to really be self-aware, feel great about themselves, be sexy and own their space. And, one of the things there will be pole dancing, for sure, because it is the best exercise on the planet. It’s very powerful. Every man should do it, too. I know every man wants to spin on the pole, once in their life. If nobody was in the room, they would try to do that little stripper spin once. In the stripper world, if you can climb the pole to the top, you’re a stud. And, I’m like a monkey.
MediaBlvd> Is that really hot, or just impressive?
Jenna> I think both. Being impressive is hot.
In 2003 Jodie Marsh's natural cleavage was a badge of honour in her ongoing feud with nemesis and plastic surgery aficionado Jordan.
But five years on, it's abundantly clear the glamour model has had a change of heart.
The 29-year-old showed off her new set of 32GGs at the launch of Orchid bar in central London last night.
Faking it: Jodie Marsh showed off her new 32GGs at London's Orchid last night; the glamour model attempted to one-up her nemesis Jordan by proudly declaring her breasts were real in 2003
Jodie, famous for her minuscule outfits, stayed true to form in a black skimpy fringed bra and low riding jeans for the occasion.
At one point her heaving bust line proved too much, spilling over her tiny lingerie as she piled into a cab at night's end.
And after posing without make-up earlier this week for a Refuge charity campaign for victims of domestic violence, Jodie's self-described "drag queen" paint was back as thick as ever.
Boost: the glamour model says she underwent surgery to lift her confidence
Popping out: Jodie, accompanied by her latest boyfriend, opted for a typically skimpy outfit
Marsh says she is not about to consider scrapping the thick eye liner and layers of foundation.
Jodie, who is currently dating a 23-year-old barber from Essex, said recently: “Gravity had taken its toll and as any woman with big real boobs knows; when they lose volume it's not attractive or confidence-building.
Au natural: Jodie went without make-up for a Refuge charity campaign for victims of domestic violence earlier this week
"After a really difficult last year I wanted to do something that would make me feel good about myself and bring my confidence levels back up.
"The only criticism I have is one with myself and that is that I wish I'd had them done years ago so that I might have felt this amazing for all that time!"
Jodie admitted that she felt pressure to keep up with celebrities who favour a nip and tuck.
She added: "There are so many images of women with amazing fake boobs, I didn't really feel like mine were good enough.
"I think society has forgotten what real boobs look like, and women like me end up thinking our boobs aren't nice because they disappear into our armpits when we lie down."
Ali Vincent became the first woman to win the TV show Biggest Loser. Ali lost a total of 112 pounds and won the $250,000 grand prize.
“I’m overwhelmed. I knew I could do it and I did,” she told People magazine.
Alison ‘Ali’ Vincent, a 32-year-old hair stylist from Mesa, Ariz., couldn’t be happier! Leading a healthier life cannot be compared with anything. I was really amazed when I heard she went down from 234 lbs. to 122 lbs.! That must be really hard to accomplish.
Well, Roger Shultz had a pretty disappointing day. The guy got the most number of votes after coming down to 199 lbs. from 363 lbs. Everyone thought he would win the show but Ali had the last laugh.
As a contestant, Ali embodied the idea of “Believe it, Be it,” and followed her own philosophy throughout the show. She has been a champion synchronized swimmer and now, has championed another field of life, which millions of people all over the world have always wanted to do, the every morning they wake up.
But, no worries… Ali plans to share her thoughts about the whole experience and will also be starting a non-profit organization.
Photos of Ali Vincent below.
