Taylor Swift Named New Face of CoverGirl

May 2, 2010


Taylor Swift is awesome – and THG isn’t the only company that thinks so.

The singer has been named the new spokesperson for CoverGirl. She joins the ranks of other stars that have represented the brand, such as Drew Barrymore, Rihanna, Queen Latifah and Ellen DeGeneres.

While Swift’s ads for a line of luxury cosmetics won’t debut until January 2011, here’s a sneak peek at her in the new role:

Says CoverGirl General Manager Vince Hudson:

“Taylor is beautiful, inspiration with an effortless-chic style, making her the perfect person to represent a new, luxurious collection of products debuting on Cover Girl next year.”

We can’t argue with any of that. Take a look at the singer on tour below:

Chely Wright to Announce Homosexuality, Report States


When Ricky Martin and Adam Lambert came out of the closet, the entertainment world was proud, but not exactly shocked.

According to TMZ, though, Chely Wright is ready to make a surprising announcement: she’s gay.

People magazine first floated the rumor that a significant star would reveal her homosexuality in the near future, and TMZ has confirmed it’s Wright. The country singer, whose “Single White Female” hit number-one in 1999, has an autobiography and a new CD coming out this week.

We’re always happy when a celebrity (or a human being in general) is confident and secure enough to make such an admission publicly – but it would help her cause if she weren’t promoting an album at the same time.

If this report is accurate, Wright will be the first major country singer to go public with her sexual orientation. It’s a big risk, considering the conservative demographic of country music fans.

We wish her the best of luck.

Michelle McGee: Shocked By Sandra Bullock Baby Adoption, Unmoved By Jesse James in the Sack


Because we know you were sitting around wondering: Michelle McGee’s take on Sandra Bullock’s adoption of a new baby boy from New Orleans?

“I was really shocked,” she said Friday.

On the nationally syndicated Johnjay and Rich radio show, Friday, she said she had “no idea” Jesse and Sandra had begun the adoption process.

Right, because that’s totally the exact sort of subject you would expect the married guy who’s nailing you to bring up casually during pillow talk.

Bombshell also says she never paid attention to celebrity gossip until her affair with James – and was stunned (!) by what she saw at the Oscars.

Michelle McGee: No Pants!Sandra Pic

YOU NEVER TELL ME ANYTHING: “Bombshell” was shocked by Sandra’s adoption. Similar to our reaction to the fact that people in the 21st century still heart Nazis.

“I was like, ‘Whoa, what the heck?!’” said the stripper, who has said that James told her numerous times that his marriage to Bullock was “a sham.”

What a disgrace.

In addition to being bummed about being left out of the pair’s adoption plans, Michelle “Bombshell” McGee is bitter at the biker for other reasons.

She calls him just an “OK” lover.

“I think so, yeah. I think Jesse is used to getting stuff that he wants and he’s gonna get what he wants,” she adds, noting that James is a big liar.

He clearly has a lot of work to do if he wants to turn his life around after this … Look at the woman on the left, then the one on the right. Period.

Gabriel Aubry Confirms Split with Halle Berry, Is Sad


Following reports from multiple media outlets on Friday, Gabriel Aubry has confirmed the news: he and Halle Berry are no longer together.

“I am sad to say that Halle and I have decided together to separate at this time,” Aubry said in a statement. “She is, and will forever be one of the most special and beautiful people that I have ever known, and I am certain that we will continue to have only love and respect for one another.”

That’s a fair, mature thing to say. We just have one question in response: What the heck is wrong with you, Gabriel Aubry?!?

An Ex Couple

Berry and Aubry  first met at a 2006 Versace photo shoot. They are the parents of two-year old daughter Nahla and are working on a custody arrangement for her.

“We have been blessed with the most amazing daughter in the world,” Aubry added. “Her happiness and well-being are the most important thing for both of us. Please respect our privacy during this very difficult time.”

On Friday, meanwhile, Berry saw a performance of the Broadway play Fences, starring Denzel Washington. A friend describes the actress as being in “good spirits.”

White House Correspondents’ Dinner: Lame Leno, Funny Obama, Kim Kardashian & Justin Bieber


While President Barack Obama deals with rumors of an affair with Vera Baker, he got to take the night off from scandals, debates and politics in general at yesterday’ White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The annual event brings celebrities together with politicians, as a comedian is chosen to host the evening and the President always takes the stage to poke fun at himself and his opponents.

President George W. Bush caused controversy in the past by actually making fun of the fact that he and his administration never found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We went to war for misguided, false reasons! Hilarious!

Last night, though, Obama kept his routine mostly safe, but altogether hilarious. First, he yanked MC Jay Leno’s chain: “I’m glad that I’m speaking first because we’ve all seen what happens when somebody takes the timeslot after Leno’s.”

He then moved on to John McCain,” who “recently claimed he had never identified himself as a maverick,” said the President. “And we all know what happens in Arizona when you don’t have ID.”

Nobel Prize Winner

Leno, of course, was his typical lame, unfunny self. He delivered such gems as referring to Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign as “Leave no child with a bigger behind.”

Spotted on the red carpet were such stars as Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber (who posed together! yikes!), Jessica Simpson (who said she really admires Michelle Obama as “a powerful woman), Jessica Alba, the Jonas Brothers and more.

Quipped Bill Maher: “It’s great to mingle with America’s real intellectual heavyweights. I saw the Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, Jessica Simpson, Ryan Seacrest – I can’t wait to talk politics.”

Bret Michaels Has “Sheer Will to Live,” Will Fully Recover, Doctor Says


Based on Rock of Love, we already knew that Bret Michaels possessed a sheer will to get with groupies on his tour bus.

But now we know there’s one thing this rock star cares about even more: living.

As his condition continues to improve, Michaels’ neurosurgeon at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix is marveling at Bret’s recovery and attitude.

“There is no doubt that Mr. Michaels’ condition is serious,” Dr. Zabramski said this week, following the singer’s subarachnoid hemorrhage on April 22. “Bret’s sheer will to live and fully recover is undeniable. He has an unbelievable fight in him and told me what kept him alive at the moment of the hemorrhage was that he did not want his family to wake up and see him lying unconscious in the middle of the floor.”

Quite a Rocker

Michaels has two daughters, Raine and Jorja, ages nine and four.

He’s also a diabetic who has suffered through numerous “roadblocks,” Zabramski said, including “hyponatremia, severe cranial and back pain suffered from blood drainage.” His patient in stable condition, the doctor added:

“It was a combination of Bret’s fight to stay conscious during the hemorrhage and get to the emergency room, and the immediate medical attention provided by our staff at Barrow that enabled us to stabilize his condition.”

The team at Barrow will hold press conference on Tuesday, in which surgeons will update Michaels’ progress even more.

Lady Gaga Amputated Leg Rumor: Debunked!


It was a quality celebrity rumor: Lady Gaga had a leg amputated below the knee just ’cause she thought it’d be cool and “different.” Sadly, it’s not true.

Well, fortunately is more like it.

Despite reports that this is “accurate and based on facts,” and she dropped the bombshell “whilst hopping around the studio,” don’t believe the hype.

The Lady Gaga hermaphrodite rumor, however? That we leave to you to draw conclusions on. The pics are more conclusive than her “peg leg” ones.

Hilariously, the Fame singer’s record-label rep was actually asked him to confirm, deny or clear up the leg amputation rumor, and finally replied Saturday:

“It’s not true,” the rep said.

Lady Gaga: Amputated Leg Photo?

Lady Gaga: Two legs to stand on. This rumor: Zero.

It’s surprising it even made this far and a rep addressed it. No “Exclusive: Lady Gaga Amputates Leg” headlines on any reputable site was one clue.

As was the lack of any doctored Lady Gaga pictures looking even remotely real. Besides, when would the alleged operation have even happened?

Lady Gaga is a touring machine, most recently taping a performance for American Idol. The girl hops around, but only figuratively.

Not to mention the logistical and ethical impossibility of a doctor doing this: “I do not know any country or any location where this has happened, or would be considered legally or ethically correct,” sums up one plastic surgeon.

Finally, a suggestion for rumor-starters: Next time, say if it’s the left or right leg and throw in more medical “details.” Makes it more convincing … and funny.

As for how this got started, Lady Gaga’s amputated leg is the work of Britain’s Daily Squib, which posted a peg-leg photo and an article about Gaga’s “new look.”

The April 24 piece was meant as a satire, but peeps actually ran with it. Nice work!

He’s Baaaaaaaack! Michael Lohan Returning to L.A.; Will Seek Conservatorship For Lindsay Lohan


So much for that pledge to shut up mercifully until May 13. Michael Lohan will be back in L.A. Monday … and he’s already telling people that he’s going to start the legal ball rolling to create a conservatorship for Lindsay Lohan.

That would leave him, or a court-appointed third party, in charge of the actress’ finances, career, medical decisions and pretty much her whole life.

Hey, it worked for Britney Spears.

No word if he would actually be granted such a role, but Mike says he’d gladly serve as conservator but is open to someone else in the role as well.

Lindsay is in New York City right now but refuses to see her father, who has been angling to meet with her for weeks. Michael says it’s now time.

M. Lo Photo

This photo of Michael Lohan has absolutely nothing to do with this article or his turbulent relationship with Lindsay Lohan. Though in a way it explains so much.

Michael Lohan also says he does not want his daughter to go to jail, and fears that she will die, as do many people close to her and on our staff.

In the immediate future, however, jail is the more imminent threat.

Lindsay Lohan is likely to be jailed because she has squarely violated the terms of her probation in her DUI case and a big court day of May 20 looms.

Michael wants Lindsay in rehab but not a traditional, group facility. He wants to go the Brooke Mueller route – a private home with lots of doctors. 

What Michael isn’t factoring in, of course, is how that type of rehab is real expensive and Lindsay has no job and is saddled with credit card debt.

It’s the thought that counts, though.
