Miley Cyrus’ Torn Jeans: Hot or WTF?!?

February 9, 2010


She’s a global icon that has starred in a hit movie and TV show, while releasing platinum albums and posing for a number of magazine photo shoots.

In other words: Miley Cyrus is quite well-off. You’d think she’d be able to afford a pair of non-ripped jeans.

But for whatever reason, the singer strolled through Los Angeles over the weekend in an outfit that a homeless person might wear. A homeless person that had been on the street for a very long time, that is.

Seriously. These pants have been ripped more often than Miley on this website…

Torn Up

We guess this look is somehow “in” these days, as weird fashion is often interpreted as forward-thinking and creative. We say: it’s just weird.

What do you say? Miley’s jeans are…

Super Bowl, super ratings


Maybe it was the lure of Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend, Reggie Bush, or maybe it was a chance for snowbound Americans to see the sun in Miami, but Sunday’s Super Bowl shattered every record to become the most-watched TV show in U.S. history. About 107 million tuned in to CBS to watch Reggie’s New Orleans Saints win Super Bowl XLIV, topping the series finale of M*A*S*H, which drew 106 million viewers in 1983. Experts say a combination of a tight game, the feel-good story of the underdog Saints and big snowstorms that kept people indoors were the real reason for the smash ratings.

Michael Jackson’s doc in hot water


Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson’s personal physician, pleaded not guilty February 8 to involuntary manslaughter. A California judge released him on $75,000 bail until April 5, when another date will be set for his preliminary hearing, where prosecutors will present their evidence of Murray’s alleged “gross negligence” in the pop singer’s overdose death in June 2009. The judge also restricted Murray’s medical practice, barring him from using any anesthetic, specifically the drug Propofol. A coroner’s report found Propofol was the cause of Jackson’s death with other drugs as contributing factors.

Sara Rue is 25 pounds lighter!


In just nine weeks, actress Sara Rue has dropped 25 pounds using Jenny Craig. “I feel great,” gushed the star on February 3 at the SLS Hotel in LA. She’s just five pounds away from the original weight loss goal she set for herself, which was to lose 30 pounds. Now Sara’s so motivated that she’s even contemplating dropping a few more. “When I get there, I’m going to see how I feel,” she says adding that her main objective is just to be considered healthy. Of course losing the weight has a lot of perks. “I’m getting back into clothes I wore years ago,” she tells In Touch. Sara also credits long time Jenny Craig spokesperson Valerie Bertinelli as being “inspirational. She’s been on maintenance now for two years and she eats like a normal person,” Sara adds.

Katie Price Plans Procreation with Alex Reid


Already the mother of three small children, Katie Price wants to procreate with new husband Alex Reid. No word on whether Alex Reid has been made aware of this.

After all, we reported yesterday that Reid may want an annulment after apparently being railroaded into their wedding Price planned while he was kept in the dark.

Alex was on Celebrity Big Brother, of course. Secluded and whatnot.

No matter the circumstances, Katie Price – aka Jordan – made quick work of tying the knot with the cage fighter. Now, she hopes a baby will follow in short order.

Better get those tubes tied quickly, Alex Reid, if you’re reading this.

Miss JordanMr. Alex Reid

Jordan and Alex Reid wed last week … possibly with his consent.

“Me and Alex so want kids – well, we are trying, so let’s hope, let’s hope,” she said Tuesday, a week after marrying Alex Reid during a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas.

Let’s hope he’s aware that he wants kids, too.

The recently-divorced model is already dealing with speculation that their marriage is in trouble, and dismissed the notion that the wedding was all a media stunt.

“The only reason we got married in Las Vegas is because you can’t get married anywhere else unless you’ve been divorced for a certain amount of days,” she said.

“But there was no Elvis or – you know, it wasn’t tacky at all.”

Price split last year from her previous husband, singer Peter Andre. They have two children together. Price also has a third child with ex-boyfriend Dwight Yorke.

Jennifer Aniston Hearts Gerard Butler


Jennifer Aniston may be back with Brad Pitt according to tabloid reports that are hilariously manufactured, but she is still Gerard Butler’s biggest fan.

In fact, she’s been praising her co-star in The Bounty Hunter so much, she’s fueling long-standing rumors that the hotties are more than just friends.

“We just had so much fun together you know. He’s just fun. Gerry’s the most unpretentious guy,” Jennifer told Access Hollywood in a new interview.

“He’s definitely a guys guy, but he’s absolutely the most lovely, sort of self-deprecating and just what you see is what you get,” she says of Gerry.

“We look at work the same way. We always have each other’s back.”

Jen and Gerard

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler: More than chums?

As the mother of Ali Fedotowsky told Jake Pavelka last night on The Bachelor, that’s the most important thing in a relationship! You better have her back, Gerard!

Jen is celebrating her 41st birthday at a resort in Cabo San Lucas. Friends on hand include Courteney Cox Arquette, Jason Bateman, Sheryl Crow, and Butler himself.

So, how does she feel about turning a staggering 41? “Thirty-one, pssh,” she jokes. “It’s quite lovely I have to say. 30 was a hump but you know 31 is fabulous.”

This isn’t the first time Jen has gotten flirty with the hunky Scotsman. What do you think? Would they make a cute couple? Or would they be better as friends?

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller: Back Together


It’s hard to tell if they were ever officially apart, but Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are moving back in together.

Yesterday, a judge charged the actor with three crimes – but also relaxed the order of protection against him. As a result, “Charlie and Brooke are on their way back to L.A. to continue their lives,” said Brooke’s lawyer, Yale Galanter.

The couple has not lived under the same roof since a temporary restraining order was issued following Sheen’s arrest for allegedly, violently confronting his wife on Christmas Day. But Mueller has made little secret of her desire to reconcile with her husband.

“We need to give them a chance to be alone and catch up on everything that has happened over the last couple of months,” Galanter told E! News. “We’ll see what happens.”

Still Committed

On the legal side, the Two and a Half Men star has been charged with third-degree assault and criminal mischief, along with one count of felony menacing.

He’s due back in a Colorado court for arraignment on March 15, the day after he and Mueller’s twin sons turn one-year old.

Galanter added that he doesn’t know whether Mueller will accompany Sheen to Aspen, but said:

“I know based on the comments made in court, Mr. Sheen is committed to doing counseling and I know Brooke is doing everything she can to be the best mom she can be.”

It’s cheesy but true: that’s the most important thing right now.

Dr. Conrad Murray Charges Not Enough, Joe and La Toya Jackson Incoherently Claim


The involuntary manslaughter charge filed against Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson wasn’t nearly enough to satisfy the late icon’s father, Joe.

Following Murray’s arraignment on Monday, a disappointed Joe did what he does best – went on Larry King Live to ridiculously say that Michael was murdered.

Joe Jackson never met a microphone he didn’t like to babble nonsensically into, and somehow managed once again to make Michael’s sad death all about him.

The Jackson family patriarch said that Michael’s death was part of a larger plot and Murray got off easy. Michael’s sister La Toya issued a similar statement.

Here’s Joe Jackson on Larry King Live last night …

Attorney Brian Oxman seconded that the reckless administration of Propofol by Murray would constitute second degree murder for any victim not named MJ.

Never mind that the charge came after a six-month investigation and that there was clearly no intent by Murray, however careless he was, for Michael to die.

Yesterday, Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mother, labeled Murray a monster. That he may be, but a murderer in the eyes of the law is quite another matter.

The Bachelor Recap: Ali Fedotowsky Drops a Bomb


Jake Pavelka toured the hometowns and met the families of his remaining four women on The Bachelor last night. From New York to Oregon, everything went well.

Until Ali Fedotowsky dropped the biggest bombshell in Bachelor history, that is. Well, except for last summer on The Bachelorette when the same thing happened.

The story editors really need to step it up. As always, THG endured Jake’s trials and tribulations on The Bachelor to recap the action in our exclusive point system:

Gia Allemand says Jake’s unlike anyone she’s dated. Yup, he’s that dull. Minus 3.

Erick, Gia’s brother, is like a poor man’s Pauly D from Jersey Shore. Plus 4.

Gia confesses was with a “bad guy” who cheated on her with all her friends. Wow, so Carl Pavano is not only wildly overpaid, he’s a complete jackass. Minus 7.

Jake Contemplates

Jake pretends to deliberate while looking at pictures from ABC.com.

Visiting New England in the late fall, Jake tells Ali that it comes to cold, “I’m a big baby.” Replace “cold” with just about anything and that would be true. Plus 5.

Ali drags poor Jake to … her deceased grandmother’s empty house. To borrow one of the simplest, but most profound Liz Lemon quotes: “Dealbreaker!” Minus 3.

Ali’s mom says she Googled Jake. THG ranks #1 when one does this. Plus 30.

Jake to Tenley: “I run everything I do by my parents.” Groan. Minus 8.

Jake to Tenley: “You have to be a we.” Swoon. Plus 9.

Tenley choreographs a ballet dance for Jake set to a traditional wedding march. We can’t decide if genuine cuteness trumps extreme awkwardness, so … Even.

Jake asks Tenley’s dad for his blessing – while dating three other girls – and gets it! Why? Because he’s “a man of integrity.” On The Bachelor. LOL. Minus 48.

Ali Fedotowsky Picture

Farewell, Ali Fedotowsky … or will you return?

For once, Vienna Girardi was not the focal point of the entire episode. Plus 12 for that, but an obligatory Minus 7 because her dad has some major screws loose.

The “bombshell” is Ali Fedotowsky going all Ed Swiderski on Jake Pavelka’s Jillian Harris. She’s gotta go back to work! Minus 100 for the absurd hype this got.

But Plus 86 for Ali crying in the hallway; Jake leaning over the banister. Ali pulling out of the rose ceremony, and Jake’s remark: “All I have right now is hope.”

While it’s rather lame of Ali to up and leave, she probably made the right choice. Jake is pretty lame, and it’s hard to get a new job in this economy. Plus 24.

In the promo for next week, the phone rings and it’s … Ali! Who would have guessed? Oh wait, us. Since this already happened on The Bachelorette. Minus 8.

TOTAL: -12. SEASON: +1. Roses: Tenley, Gia, Vienna. Gone: Ali … or is she?!

Who should Jake Pavelka give his final rose to?
