First Listen: Taylor Swift’s “Today was a Fairytale”

January 19, 2010


Pretty much every actor and actress on the planet has a role in Valentine’s Day, the romantic comedy being released next month.

But only one star appears in the film, makes out with Taylor Lautner and has a single on the movie’s soundtrack: Taylor Swift.

Below, we’re giving readers a chance to listen to this song, titled “Today was a Fairytale.” It’s already number-one on the iTunes “Top Songs” chart and it starts with the following verse:

“Today was a fairytale/You were the prince/I used to be the damsel in distress/You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six/Today was a fairytale.”

Check it out below and then respond: Does Taylor have another hit on her hands?

Kelly Bensimon Nude: Coming to Playboy


The speculation is true. The clothes will soon be coming off.

A rep for Playboy confirms that Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon will pose in the magazine’s March issue. She “will be featured on the cover and in a 6-page nude pictorial,” the insider said.

Bensimon’s upcoming spread is seen at a direct challenge to Bethenny Frankel, who posed nude for a PETA billboard in Times Square in mid-December.

As the stakes between these co-stars grow higher, we can only imagine castmate Jeana Keogh eventually one-upping them all and doing porn.

Kate Major: Jon Gosselin is a Loser


We know this may come as a huge shock to you, but Jon Gosselin is apparently a “huge loser,” according to an inside source with knowledge of the subject.

Kate Major, who sort of dated Jon last summer, is now dating Michael Lohan. This speaks volumes about her taste, but still, she says it’s a step up from Jon.

“He seems to go for nice girls from nice families and, in my case, with good careers,” said the ex-reporter for Star freaking magazine who quit to date him.

“I would love Jon to get into the boxing ring with [Michael Lohan] so he could get his butt kicked because, let’s face it, we all know he needs the money.”

Kate was referring to Mike’s Celebrity Boxing pastime, of course, and also had some words of warning for Jon’s new girlfriend, 25-year-old Morgan Christie.

Kate Major has dated both these guys. Wow, Kate.

“I don’t know if she missed out on the last year, but I’d really like to warn her as well as her family to really look at the type of person that Jon is and look at what he did to his other ex’s,” Kate 2.0 said. “She should be careful and watch out.”

Or ransack his place with a butcher knife, right Hailey Glassman?

Jon and his newest rebound fling met during Thanksgiving while he was skiing in Utah. Morgan Christie reportedly comes from an affluent Connecticut family.

“It seems perfect this is the next beat for Jon. He has no job, no family other than his kids. He needs to take advantage of someone else now. Jon wouldn’t be with this girl unless she could offer him some kind of financial support.”

“All I know about [Morgan Christie] is that she met Jon while he was supposedly visiting his grandmother,” Kate said. “But he was probably just sitting around smoking weed with his buddies, and that’s when he met her.”

Good to know. Thanks Kate!

The Vampire Diaries Cast Covers Nylon


It was written off as a Twilight Saga clone at first, but The Vampire Diaries has made a solid impression on viewers.

This is a truly intriguing drama on The CW, anchored by a gorgeous cast. It’s led by Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley.

The threesome posed for a series of photos with Nylon magazine this week, with each answering a question about the surprising hit:

Dobrev, on similarities with other vampire franchises: “When the show first started… you automatically thought Twilight.  But once you continue, there’s a whole other side of it that goes a lot deeper… It’s about letting everyone know that we’re different but we all respect each other.”

Wesley, on gratitude for Twilight: “Do I thing the show would be successful as it is, if it weren’t for all that? No.”

Somerhalder, on initial reaction to Damon Salvatore: “[My character] is gonna be the coolest character on television. There was no doubt about it. It reminded me of Sawyer, Josh Holloway’s character on Lost. He was always the character I secretly wished I could play.”

Heidi Montag: Hotter After Plastic Surgery?


Now more plastic than human, more machine than woman, a cyborg-like Heidi Montag recently (and willingly) decided to undergo 10 plastic surgery procedures.

This wasn’t her first time, either.

Despite being only 23 years young, Heidi Montag has had a nose job and a boob job and likely some work on those lips as well – and that was all back in 2007.

The question is? Did it do anything for her? Or did she look better as the fresh-faced cutie we first saw in the early days of The Hills? Vote in our poll below …

Fashion Face-Off: Angelina Jolie vs. Jennifer Aniston


Angelina Jolie skipped the Golden Globes, but her presence was still felt.

By Jennifer Aniston, whose Golden Globes dress – a black Valentino gown with a thigh-high split – was, like, totally similar to a style rocked by Jolie last year!

As you can see, the current life partner of Brad Pitt (at least until Star breaks them up tomorrow) rocked a Versace gown to the Inglourious Basterds premiere.

Sucks for Jen! Oh, who are we kidding. She totally copied it on purpose.

After all, there’s nothing Jen likes more than messing with Angelina Jolie. She also likes flirting with Gerard Butler, but mind games are Aniston’s true passion.

In any case, who do you think rocked their dress the best? Vote below!

Report: Madonna Wants Baby Jesus (Luz)


Madonna, who already has four kids, isn’t content to stop there. She’s in the process of trying for a baby with her lover Jesus Luz, according to the Sun (UK).

The British tabloid says Madge has even consulted doctors about conceiving another child at age of 51, pals said, with model Jesus, who at 22 is … young!

Dude’s up for it, though. He has reportedly told her that becoming a father would be “his greatest adventure” and she thinks he will be a “fantastic dad.”

The wedding rumors have subsided for now … but will a baby happen anyway?

Madonna and Lourdes

Madonna and her eldest child, Lourdes.

Madonna already has Lourdes, 13, by Carlos Leon and son Rocco, 9, by ex-husband Guy Ritchie. She also has Malawian orphans David Banda and Mercy James, 4.

A close pal, who refers to Madonna by her preferred nickname Em, said: “Em says motherhood is her greatest achievement and the most fulfilling thing in her life.”

“She knows that, at 51, it’s going to be harder to conceive naturally. But she is Olympic-athlete fit and is ready for the challenge.” Olympic-athlete fit? Really?

Madge has been with Jesus Luz for more than two years, meeting him during a photo-shoot in Brazil shortly after she divorced Sherlock Holmes director Guy.

There was also an “affair of the heart” with Alex Rodriguez in there.

The pal added: “Jesus is very religious and deeply in love. He adores her kids but has always wanted a child of his own … he wants the adventure with her.”

Who can blame her for being into it? Have you seen Jesus Luz?

Jesus Luz, naked, can’t bear the thought of not procreating.

Alex Lambert: American Idol Hopeful


Might the name Lambert get lucky two years in a row on American Idol?

As fans know, Adam Lambert made it all the way to the final two on season eight of the country’s most-watched program.

Now, an upstart named Alex Lambert is hoping to follow in that singer’s talented footsteps.

According to various sources, Alex has earned a spot in the show’s top 24. Not much is known about this Texas native, except that he loves to wear goofy glasses and strum the guitar.

To wit, check out the singer’s rendition of the Jason Mraz classic “I’m Yours.”
