"It never gets any easier," she told Oprah Winfrey.

Jennifer Lopez Named Most Powerful Celebrity
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Features,
Jennifer Lopez has been named the world's most powerful celebrity.
The 42-year-old star has knocked Lady Gaga off the top spot of Forbes magazine's annual Celebrity 100 list - at which she was placed number 50 last year - thanks to her high public profile and endeavors in music, movies, as a judge on American Idol and other endorsement deals, with her income over the last 12 months reaching a staggering $52 million.
The Celebrity 100 - which placed TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey second and Justin Bieber third - is based on income over a 12 month period and fame, as defined by a media presence across all platforms, as well as social media power as determined by prolificness on Facebook and Twitter.
Jennifer's fame was boosted by her 23,000 press mentions, including appearing on 46 major magazine covers, topping People's 2011 Most Beautiful list and being named as a Glamour Woman of the Year.

While she's usually tight-lipped about whom she's dating at the moment, pop star Lady Gaga recently revealed in an interview with Oprah that she wants a big family.

Whitney Houston’s Death was Inevitable
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Obituaries,
Whitney Houston's sister-in-law says it was inevitable the singer would die early.
The "I Will Always Love You" hitmaker, 48, was found dead in a bathtub in her Beverly Hilton Hotel suite last month and Patricia Houston admits she always thought Whitney would lose her battle with drink and drugs.
"I would be kidding myself to say otherwise," added Patricia, who is married to Whitney's brother Gary.
Before her tragic death, Whitney - who had a long history of drink and drug addiction - had been trying to turn her life around but Patricia wasn't convinced. "Things were changing, very much so... it wasn't about substance abuse or anything like that relative to the latter days or anything like that. t was just more of a lifestyle. I was afraid for other things. I saw her chasing a dream, you know, looking for love in all the wrong places," she told Oprah Winfrey.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television,
Pop singers Lady Gaga and Beyonce Knowles have been named in the top ten of the 2010 Forbes Most Powerful Women In The World list.
The pop stars - who collaborated on the single “Telephone” - came seventh and ninth, respectively, joining a host of political leaders including US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the poll. American First Lady Michelle Obama - the wife of US President Barack Obama - took the number one spot.
“The women on our list, through their respective realms of power and influence, are shaping many of the agenda setting conversations of our day. They have built companies and brands, sometimes by non-traditional means, and they have broken through gender barriers in areas of commerce, politics, sports and media and cultural zeitgeist, and thereby affecting the lives of millions, sometimes billions of people,” said publisher of ForbesWoman, Moira Forbes.
Other entertainers on the list include talk show hosts Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, who came third and tenth respectively. Check out the complete list after the jump!

Jim Carrey Stopped Making Jenny McCarthy Laugh
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Dating,
Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey split up because their relationship was “not fun anymore.”
The former couple went their separate ways in April this year - almost five years after they started dating - and the blonde beauty admits the pair analyzed their feelings for a long time before ending their romance.
Asked by talk show host Oprah Winfrey when she knew it was over, Jenny said, “You know, the simple word I can give - and there’s a few, so let me say a few. The first thing is, when it’s not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship.”
The 37-year-old star - who has an eight-year-old son Evan with ex-husband John Asher - also insisted she had never even considered a reconciliation with the 48-year-old actor. When Oprah questioned her about a possible reunion, she replied, “God, another good question. I didn’t even think about that one, though.”
Jenny recently admitted she is enjoying being single and feels more “peaceful” since moving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas: “I’m enjoying the single life tremendously! I was never really a fan of Los Angeles. Coming out to Las Vegas, believe it or not, I feel more peaceful. Evan has seen every single show and he’s gone to every casino, every arcade. There really is only so much you can do with a kid.”
Naomi Campbell Breaks Down on Oprah
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Legal Issues, Meltdowns,
Naomi Campbell broke down in tears as she blamed her notorious temper on “abandonment issues.”
The supermodel was questioned by Oprah Winfrey, who confronted her frankly about her temper - which has seen her previously lash out at her own staff, camera crews, police officers and airline workers. Naomi blamed her furious outbursts on her mother, who left her at home while she pursued a career as a ballet dancer.
When asked by Oprah if she was “just a petulant diva,” she replied, “It comes from a deeper place than that with me. It comes from another type of emotional disorder because it’s not just, if I don’t get what I want I throw a fit. It comes from, I think, an abandonment issue and it comes from also trying to just build up a family around me that’s not my immediate family and if I feel a mistrust, then, all my cards go down. It’s not a right thing to do. I just see red.”
Naomi, who is 40 this month, admitted she is ashamed of her fits of rage and is remorseful every time her temper gets the better of her. She added: “I take responsibility for the things that I have done and I do feel a great sense of shame. I am ashamed of everything I’ve ever done. I don’t have an excuse for my behavior.”

Oprah Stepping Down for Sarah Palin?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rumors,
The Conspiracy Corner at E! worked up this little gem of a theory today, and it’s the first thing that makes sense about Sarah Palin. On the heels of her Palin interview, Oprah Winfrey made the shocking announcement - laced with metaphors - that she will be leaving her hit show. Oprah is so successful and so big, she can all but single-handedly control the New York Times Bestseller list, make or break an entire corporation or create her very own television stars.
Odd that she would just walk away from it all, right? Would Winfrey really leave…without filling the gap that her departure creates? One theory says no way - she’s going to give the spot to Sarah Palin, and that’s why she’s made this decision now.
And that sounds pretty reasonable.
