Dolly Parton Defends Miley Cyrus
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,
Dolly Parton thinks young singers, like Miley Cyrus, almost have to sacrifice their souls to make an impact.
The 67-year-old star has defended her goddaughter against her critics following a string of controversial performances and photo-shoots, and doesn't think people realize how talented the "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker is.
"It's not easy being young. It's hard to know what to do. You've almost got to sacrifice your damn soul just to get anything done. I've loved her through the years and watched her grow up, and I've seen how smart she is and how talented she is. I don't think people really realize yet what a great singer and writer she really is," the country singer told the London Evening Standard.
Although she and Miley are close, Dolly said she wouldn't dare give the 20-year-old star advice about her career: "She's just trying to find her own place and wings and learn to fly. If she needs my opinion on something I will surely give it and there have been times we've talked. But I would never dream of calling her and saying, 'Well why are you doing this?' or, 'You shouldn't do this or that.' I know that she has thought this all through. We'll let her go and do her own thing."

Courtney Love Is No Fan of Katy Perry
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rants, Rivalries,
Courtney Love thinks that Katy Perry is "kind of sad."
The grunge rocker isn't a huge fan of the "Roar" singer since she got her major record label deal in 2007, saying she preferred her when she had just been discovered by producer Glen Ballard when she was still a teenager. "I liked Katy when she was in a black shag and the shy girl on Glen Ballard's arm at events. She was damaged goods by the time she got to Capitol [Records]. She really worked for it - 'It' being a career I find so boring it's sort of sad, but what she wears is cute and in her own universe," she told Interview.

Quote of the Day: Winona Ryder on Her Shoplifting Incident
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Features,
"In a weird way, it was almost like the best thing that could have happened because I'd never asked myself the question before of, "Is it okay if I'm not going to act? Is there anything else?" because that was all that I really knew... Honestly, as terrible as this sounds, when you're making movies, you think that those other things are not as important—the most important thing is that you do a good job in the movie and that you're prepared. So just getting that kind of perspective on life really helped me."

Kris Humphries Trying to Move On
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Kris Humphries is "moving forward" following his split from Kim Kardashian.
The basketball star - who parted ways with the 31-year-old socialite when she filed for divorce after just 72 days of marriage - has accepted "certain things happen in life," and he is now keen to move on with his sporting career rather then dwelling on his failed relationship.
"For me, it's just certain things happen in life and you've got to move forward. Through everything I'm just focused on family and preparing for basketball. Basketball has always been something I've taken really serious and I continue to do that and I'm just moving forward," he said during an interview on Good Morning America.
Kris - who recently hit back at Kim's divorcement petition with a plea for annulment - admitted he "can't say for sure" whether or not being filmed for the reality star's show Keeping Up with the Kardashians affected the former couple's relationship: "I have never really been someone to watch the show, on TV, or anything like that. I can't say for sure or not for sure if the cameras hurt my marriage. It's the only time I've been married. I'm focused on just what I can control. I don't really play into all the gossip and things that take place, but that's life."
Lady Gaga: I’m a Gypsy
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television,
Lady Gaga thinks she is a "gypsy" at heart. The Marry The Night hitmaker - who is yet to purchase her own home - admitted she is still "homeless" because she thinks it would be a "waste of money" to splash out on a property when she spends most of her time on tour.
"I'm a gypsy, you know. I can't plan my life out like that so much. Then I think well, gosh what a waste of money to buy a place and I'm on the road. Even though it might not seem like a big deal because I'm a pop singer or whatever it still hurts to hand over that much. It's a lot of money."

VIDEO: Charlie Sheen Spoofs Himself
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Meltdowns, Videos,
(WARNING: Explicit, uncensored language)
Charlie Sheen is recovering quickly from his terrible performance in Detroit in the best possible way: with humor. The actor has released a 7-minute spoof his 20/20 interview, and you can see the whole thing above.
We’ve watched it, and we think this version is better than the original -- which aired last month on ABC. Sheen seems unafraid to laugh at himself in the segment, sporting different T-shirts, over-using his catchphrases, even chain-smoking.
The video should do wonders for his comedy tour, which is going strong despite the Motor City flub.

Natalie Portman Dance War Continues
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Rivalries, Rumors,
Looks like we’re going to have to settle this one on reality TV. Otherwise, this back-and-forth in the media just may never end. The debate over just how much of her own dancing Natalie Portman did in the highly-touted, Oscar-winning flick Black Swan continues, and now almost everyone has weighed in.
Fox Searchlight Films released a recent statement extolling their lead actress’s dancing virtues, saying “We were fortunate to have Sarah [Lane, professional ballet dancer] there to cover the more complicated dance sequences, and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did. However, Natalie [Portman] herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film.”

Chris Brown Trashes Good Morning America Set
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Meltdowns, Photos, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Not everybody can handle daytime TV. After being interviewed by Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, Chris Brown freaked out and trashed his dressing room before storming out of the studio. Think he’s a little touchy about his shady past?
The singer was visibly upset during the interview, when Roberts pressed him for answers regarding his infamous attack on Rihanna. Brown was on GMA to promote F.A.M.E., his newest album, and tried to keep the interview on this topic. “This album is what I want them to talk about and not what happened two years ago,” he said at one point.
After his first performance (two were initially scheduled), Brown went into his dressing room and starting trashing the place. TMZ captured pictures of the large window he smashed, damage one source says was done with a chair.

Billy Ray Cyrus: Divorce Dropped
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Divorce, Child Stars, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
“I want to put my family back together,” Billy Ray Cyrus, one-hit wonder and father to Miley Cyrus, will tell The View on Friday. “Things are the best they’ve ever been.” Thanks to the recent progress, Billy Ray will put a halt to his divorce plans and stay in his marriage (which, so far, has lasted 17 years).
“I feel like I got my Miley back, in a way,” he revealed at the Thursday taping. “I feel like we are the daddy and daughter that we were before Hannah Montana happened.” Minus a few years, some questionable photos and a salvia-smoking scandal, of course.
Billy Ray and wife Tish issued a joint statement about their disintegrating marriage in October. In a later interview with GQ, the country singer blamed Hannah Montana for “destroying” his family.
But on The View, he’ll change his tune. “I don’t think Hannah Montana ruined my family,” he backpedaled. “Now fame, fame is a different animal. You’ve got to be careful with that thing.” Or, so he’s heard.

Insider Spills More American Idol Secrets
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rumors,
Justin Buckles, writer of American Idol Exposed, continued his intimate interview with Vote For the Worst, the famous anti-Idol site, this week. Buckles worked for American Idol during season 5, and (like us) became so disgruntled with the victory of Taylor Hicks that he had to walk away.
Okay, so maybe Taylor Hicks was only part of the problem. According to the in-depth interview, Buckles had a lot of personal and professional reasons for washing his hands of television’s number one show.
Buckles had tons of interaction with the contestants during his season. He paints a picture of a very toxic environment with exhausted singers, horrifying stage mothers and over-confident contestants who begin letting the fame go to their heads. But, perhaps there was some reason they were so stressed...
