Obsessed with American Idol? In love with Paula Abdul designs? Or do you just want another reason to watch the Home Shopping Network? Now you can combine all these passions - and get some new jewelry, to boot.
According to Paula Abdul, she personally designs jewelry for each contestant on Idol. But the judge doesn’t stop there - anyone can see her designs if they just look hard enough. “I pretty much wear my jewelry all the time now, but I end up giving it away,” Abdul recently explained. She started making the jewelry back in 2002, when Idol first hit (and took over) the TV scene.
“I wanted something the kids could touch and feel to remind themselves that their talent got them here,” Abdul explained. The judge is no stranger to home shopping. Paula previously made a foray into QVC, selling some of her jewelry collection to home-buying fans.
Her new line, Forever Your Girl, will first appear on Saturday and feature products ranging from $29 to $200 (USD) in price.

“I think she was in awe of me,” Simon Cowell told the British press recently. Currently in country to work on the X-Factor, Cowell will soon be Stateside for the eighth season of American Idol. And, according to him, the reality TV contestants aren’t the only ones who seem to be overwhelmed in his very big presence.
When Britney Spears visited the show, Cowell said she was awed by him, though he admitted the statement “may be a bit egotistical.” Ego from you, Simon? Never! “She was just staring at me,” he admitted. “I said ‘touch me, I’m human,’ and I think that broke the ice.”
Cowell recently told the British media that he may not return for another season of X-Factor, though he’s been threatening the same of American Idol for years.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television,
UPDATE: Leakes has made a statement denying she was ever “evicted” from her home.
Who knew when we were watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion special that there was more dish to tell? So much time was spent on NeNe’s relationship with her former BFF, that no one was aware of her situation back at home.
According to an Atlanta paper, the woman who Entertainment Weekly named one of “Bravo’s Entertainers of the Year” was recently evicted from her rented Duluth home. This was the 5,000 square foot residence that viewers got to see on the hit reality show. The report states that NeNe and her husband, Greg, were served an eviction notice back in September after accumulating over $6,000 in overdue payments. The couple, who had been living in the home since 2006, moved out in November.

Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr: Gossip Girl’s Newest Couple?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Hook-ups, Rumors,
Watch out Penn and Blake. Looks like there might be another on-set couple aiming to steal your thunder.
According to spies for both the New York Post and W Magazine, Gossip Girl co-stars Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) and Ed Westwick (Chuck) got quite cozy this holiday weekend. The two, along with Chace Crawford (Nate), were all stuck in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport on Sunday on their way back to New York. (The trio may have been visiting Crawford’s family in the Plano area.) It’s in that oh-so-romantic terminal where kisses were witnessed.
“They were trying to be discreet by stealing kisses near the gate,” one tipster reported. Another spy said their flirtation was not something that could be mistaken. “Not a French kiss, but a smooch definitely. They were being very flirty when people were not paying attention.”
So were Jessica and Ed still drunk on spiked eggnog…or are they really pursuing off-screen what Chuck and Vanessa came very close to doing on? Sounds like we need to get GG on the case!

Balthazar Getty Denies Split from Sienna Miller
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Videos, Rumors,
And to think - just 4 months ago, Balthazar Getty was releasing far more eloquent statements.
Just when we thought there was hope for Balthazar, the 33-year-old actor disappointed us once again. Although it was earlier believed that he had Sienna Miller had broken up, the Brothers & Sisters star was kind enough to set the record straight yesterday. The reason the two were reunited in London over the Thanksgiving holiday was because they supposedly never broke up.
After being greeted by the paps at the airport (something he should be used to by now), Getty used a few choice words to explain the confusion. “The quote that came out the other day about her saying we split up was a quote they plucked out of thin f—kin air. It was bulls—t.” Wow. I wonder what he’ll have to say when they really break up!

Although it seems like we’ve seen Tina Fey just about everywhere this year, there’s still a lot about the comedienne we don’t know. And for the first time, we’re finally learning more about one of the 30 Rock actress’ secrets.
In the January issue of Vanity Fair, Fey’s husband, Jeff Richmond, reveals the story behind the 38-year-old’s noticeable, yet subtle, scar. The facial imperfection was a result of a stranger slashing a then 5-year-old child. “It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody who just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen,” Richmond said.

Questionable Outfit of the Day: Heidi Klum
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Fashion Police, Style,
On the next season of Project Runway, the contestants will each be tasked with designing a Legoland ensemble for Heidi Klum.
The requirements? The outfit should be comfortable (something that can last a 2-year-old’s birthday), understated (it should look right at home in a theme park) and, most importantly, age-appropriate. (In other words - no lime green colors or shredded jeans).
(Make sure to check out our other questionable outfits.)

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Now Married
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: D-List, Television, Weddings,
UPDATE: As we had expected, MTV is currently down in Mexico getting footage for the upcoming season of The Hills.
Apparently we are in an era of change.
Although many predicted Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt would be together forever, the couple did actually did something many did not foresee last week. The love-to-be-hated pair eloped in a private ceremony in Mexico…and there wasn’t a film crew in sight. (Or so we think.)
According to Perez Hilton, the 15-minute service was held just outside Cabo San Lucas at the One & Only Palmilla Resort. “The minute we said our vows, I couldn’t stop crying,” the 22-year-old new bride said of the event. (Was it because she instantly regretted tying the knot?)
