Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Dating, Rumors,
Jessica Simpson is dating Billy Corgan.
The 29-year-old singer/actress is said to have “fallen hard and is smitten” with the 42-year-old Smashing Pumpkins singer since they started “officially dating” some months ago. Unfortunately, her friends don’t exactly approve.
“They think he’s too old for her. No one takes any of her boyfriends seriously anymore because she has had so many. They’re sick of all of them being ‘The One,’” a source told E!.
The pair were first romantically linked in November when they met at a party in Los Angeles.
“She has completely fallen for Billy and his easygoing, smart attitude. She says she wants to take things a lot further,” a source added. “She had secretly been crushing on him for months and felt there was a connection at the party. As the night went on things got more intense and they talked with their faces just inches apart.”

Tila Tequila Engaged to Billionaire Heiress
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Engagements, Hook-ups, Drunk, Parties, Rivalries, Videos, Paparazzi Videos, Rumors,
VH1 reality star Tila Tequila is reportedly engaged to Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson. And I thought that she’d never find love!
Very publicly displaying her ring and affection for her fiancé (video after the jump), Tila seemed a little too excited to spill the details (save who proposed to whom) while Casey kept silent and hesitated with a kiss for the paparazzi. The explanation boils down to three possibilities: it’s a huge cry for publicity; Tila had too much tequila; or it was just Tila… being Tila.
To further cement the news, Tila Tweeted about the engagement: “Yes it’s true! I am 100% Engaged to my beautiful Fiance Casey Johnson, Heir of the Johnson & Johnson empire! & YES Im pregnant VERY SOON!”

It’s Time for the Tiger Woods Jokes
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Legal Issues, Videos,
Tiger Woods could write a book on how one goes from celebrated athlete to the butt of all the best new jokes in two weeks or less. In fact, a scathing, self-effacing tell-all might be his best route out of this whole media mess. But for now, public sentiment has moved from shock to silliness - and the comedians are starting to cash in with laughs.
SNL spoofed him, David Letterman cracked wise about him, even Jim Carrey delivered a zinger or two. Today, Marlon Wayans took the joke war to the mobile market with some right-between-the-eyes Twitter updates.

Stan Lee Tweets About His Thor Role
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Marvel Comics,
While it may not be shocking that Stan Lee is set to appear in the upcoming Thor film, it’s still fun to see him write about it on his Twitter.
Although Lee doesn’t discuss the details of his cameo appearance, he confirms meeting with director Kenneth Branagh to talk about the part.
“Hey, I got an email from the multu-talented director of Thor, Kenneth Branagh… Kenneth Branagh (of course I call him ‘Ken!’) said my cameo’s set for the upcoming Thor movie.—To him, it’s a cameo, to me—it’s a ROLE!”
Lee later goes on to joke about the extent of his character’s impact on the film:
“I went easy on Ken Branagh when we discussed my role in Thor. Told him I wouldn’t insist on my name above the title, I think he was grateful… Yeah, I mentioned Ken Banagh a few times, but I warned you I was a name dropper. Seriously tho’, with him directing, Thor‘s a sure winner… Of course, my previous tweet revealed the extent of my innate modesty. I really wanted to add ‘With me doing a cameo, Thor‘s a sure winner.’ Can’t tweet anymore. Due to Thor, I must start rehearsing my thee’s and thou’s. So, if thou objecteth not, I wish thee well! ‘Nuff saideth.”
Unfortunately, we’ve got quite a ways to go until we’ll see his stunning performance—the film is due out in theaters May 20, 2011.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Site Announcements,
- Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone finally purchased a townhouse in New York’s West Village for a cool $10.4 million. To think that this was the house that the couple claimed they counting their pennies for!
- A new type of plastic surgery involves liposuctioning fat from your butt and injecting it into your breasts to increase their size. Here I thought Fight Club‘s idea of re-using fat for soap was bad.
- Twitter inspires fashion photographer Steven Meisel, prompting him to get a pregnant Gisele Bundchen (as well as Lara Stone, Sessilee Lopez, Naomi Campbell, and others) taking pictures of herself via Meiselpic—clever, right?—for the December cover of Vogue Italia.
- In interesting collaboration news, John Galliano recruits David Lynch (Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead) to direct his next installment of Dior short films. Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard will star in the short features.
- Proenza Schouler finally has an e-commerce site, although it appears as if they’re still figuring out what to put on there—so far, there are four items listed.

Lambert’s previously scheduled appearance on the Dec. 17 broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live has just been dropped. A tentative booking on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve is off as well.

SquareUp iPhone payment service launched by Twitter co-founder
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Apple, Handhelds, Software,
New iPhone credit card payment service SquareUp has finally been unveiled, and we’ve gotta say, it’s got our attention. The brainchild of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, SquareUp aims to be a simple, sleek, inexpensive, and charitable credit card payment processing service. It works on the iPhone and iPod touch, in conjunction with a credit card reader that plugs in to the audio jack. You get payer verification, receipts that can be sent via email or text message, and receipt signing using your finger. Even cooler, in our opinion, is that Square will donate one penny of every transaction to a charity of the seller’s choice.
If Square plays their cards right, they will be a force to reckon with in the small business arena. The service is in limited beta right now, but Square says it’ll be fully open in 2010. We’ll see if we can’t get a beta account to give you a better look at how it all works.
