DO NOT BUY THIS MAGAZINE!

May 19, 2010


Look, we’ve run out of ways to make fun of tabloids and their utterly ridiculous coverage of celebrities such as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

These magazines just concoct misleading cover stories based on randomly uttered words and photos taken out of context. To wit, see here.

But this is the thing, readers: such fabrications only exist because you buy the publications. Its capitalism 101: supply does its best to meet demand.

So let’s agree to eliminate demand, shall we? We’re staring at you, Twihards. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MAGAZINE. Don’t allow these editors to laugh all the way to the bank over how they duped millions of people yet again…

Utterly Ridiculous

At THG, we solemnly swear to bring you every ounce of Robsten news out there… free of charge! We won’t report on any engagement until we see the ring for ourselves.

Okay? Do we have a deal? You have the power to end tabloid abuse of this nature. Take full advantage of it today. Walk right by those newsstands and never look back.

Kim Cattrall’s no cougar!

Sex and the City‘s Samantha loves younger men, but don’t call 50-something Kim Cattrall the “C” word. “I was asked recently by a significant magazine for women over 40 to pose with a cougar, and I refused to do it because I felt it was insulting,” Kim told Extra, adding that she lost out on the opportunity because she took a stand. Still, she’s got nothing against big cats — or sex for all ages. “I think that ‘cougar’ has a negative connotation, and I don’t see anything negative about sexuality.”

Travis Garland: THG Artist of the Week


If Greyson Chance is the next Justin Bieber, perhaps Travis Garland can be the next Greyson Chance.

Millions of TV watchers will meet Garland tonight, as he performs on the American Idol results show. Discovered by Perez Hilton via MySpace, Garland was introduced to producer Simon Fuller by that annoying, self-obsessed celebrity blogger.

Here’s what we know about him:

  • His first solo album will be released this year.
  • His first single is titled “Believe.”
  • He hails from Lubbock, Texas.
  • He was part of the boy band NLT with Glee star Kevin McHale.
  • He’s about to see his dreams come true.

Before he sees his fame sky-rocket, listen below to “Dead and Gone,” another song by Travis Garland:

DWTS’s Chad: I found love with Cheryl


NFL star Chad Ochocinco won’t be going home with the mirror ball trophy from Dancing With the Stars, but he will be taking away a lasting relationship with his partner, Cheryl Burke. “I told Cheryl as long as she doesn’t leave my life, I am fine,” a tearful Chad told In Touch after his elimination last night. Throughout the competition, Chad showered Cheryl with gifts — including a sparkling diamond ring — though they never admitted to an actual romance. That would certainly conflict with his new VH1 reality show, Perfect Catch, where eligible women will vie for his affection, a la The Bachelor. “But the love has already been found,” Chad says, referring to his bond with Cheryl, who says they’re so close, she might even come on the show to help him pick his new girl. “We developed such a really strong friendship and chemistry on and off the floor, so we’ll stay friends forever,” she adds.

Don’t miss next week’s semifinals, when the final three couples will attempt four dances on Monday’s performance show, before the winner is crowned in Tuesday’s finale.

Audrina Patridge and Ryan Cabrera Break Up


It’s over for Audrina Patridge and Ryan Cabrera. They had a good four months of dating going. We are sad it didn’t last longer for them. But we’re not shocked.

The Hills star cycles through boyfriends in prolific fashion, as we all know, and a source confirms that she and her latest one split up “a little over a week” ago.

“Things started to go awry the night of her birthday and she ended things after that – pretty much the next day,” explains an insider of the now-former couple.

Audrina Patridge, who just turned 25, and Cabrera, 27, spent May 9 in Las Vegas partying at Liquid Pool at Aria, then later at Las Palmas Latin Supper Club.

Ryan Cabrera and Audrina Patridge have called it a relationship.

Things seemed to be going so well, too, but they took a turn for the worst early this month. The biggest issue behind Audzo’s breakup with the lame singer?

“Ryan’s a constant partier and that became an issue,” says the source. “Audrina was crying at Wango Tango … MTV made her film and she didn’t want to.”

The former couple first dated several years ago, and then rekindled a romance last January. They were spotted vacationing in Mexico together in February.

Patridge’s last on-screen romance was Justin-Bobby Brescia, ending last year. There was also Corey Bohan … and Tal Cooperman, and Brody Jenner, and …

Adam Lambert Dishes and Sings on Ellen


It was a major episode of Ellen today for fans of pop culture, talent and generally bright, young man.

First, as previously reported, Robert Pattinson sat down with Ellen DeGeneres and discussed his recently-shorn hair.

On the same installment, Adam Lambert chatted with the host and sung for the audience. The crooner dished on his inclusion in People’s Most Beautiful People issue, while also expressing surprise that American Idol asked him to serve as a mentor this season.

He had nothing but kind things to say about the new batch of finalists. See and listen for yourself:

From there, Adam busted out a few dance moves and performed his latest single, “If I Had You.” Watch below.

Justin Bieber Transcends Race


Hmmm… maybe Justin Bieber is right for Kim Kardashian after all.

Consider: The young artist has been nominated for a Black Entertainment Television Award. Does anyone else see something wrong with that statement?

Bieber earned a nod in the Best New Artist category, joining Nicki Minaj, B.o.B., Young Money and Melanie Fiona. There’s something that separates Justin from those four. We just can’t put our finger on it…

Quasi Black Musician

Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programming and Specials, said of the nomination:

“Bieber has crossed the color boundaries the same way that hip-hop has crossed the boundaries the other way for a number of years. He’s had rhythm in his music. He makes the type of music our audience likes.”

Yes, Mr. Hill just compared Justin Bieber to just transformative artists as Diddy and Snoop Dogg. We can’t sit by and let this comparison stand! We mean, come on!

Those artists did NOT have Justin’s hair.

Khloe Kardashian: Nude at Age Two, More Pathetic Than Ever


Note to Lamar Odom: you better knock up your wife as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knows what pathetic cries for attention Khloe Kardashian will try out next.

Without any new boyfriend to marry, without a bun in her oven and without an ounce of talent in her possession, Khloe took to her official blog this week to garner attention in any way possible.

She posted a photo of herself in the bathtub at the age of two, along with this entry:

Here I am in all my adorably naked glory (AGAIN)! I mean seriously, how cute was I?!?!? Haha I look like such a little diva — hair in a bun, dead serious face, surrounded by bubbles in a luxurious bathtub.

Man, I really knew how to live when I was 2 1/2 years old. If only I still had that kind of time to kick back and relax.

Young, Naked Khloe

It’s true. Khloe’s life is just so hectic, she has no time at all to take a bath. She’s just so busy…. ummm… wait…

What does Khloe Kardashian do again?

Lindsay Lohan: Dog Ate My Passport!


Lindsay Lohan will not be making it to court for her DUI probation hearing tomorrow, and once you hear the reason why, you’ll have pretty much heard everything.

Our headline above is not literally true, but it might as well be. Lindsay claims that someone stole her passport in Cannes, France. Theoretically possible? Sure.

But come on. There’s no way that happened.

LL claims she actually went to the airport yesterday trying to get on a flight – she’s required in court in L.A. Thursday – without a passport but was denied boarding. 

She claims that despite the looming ash cloud, she had a flight booked so she could make it back to L.A. for tomorrow’s mandatory court hearing on her probation.

Lohan supposedly has an appointment at the U.S. Embassy tomorrow at 9 a.m. to get another passport so she can fly home. We’ll see what her excuse is then.

Future Jail Bird

As for the court hearing, Judge Marsha Revel has said that she will issue a warrant for Lindsay Lohan’s arrest if the star doesn’t show up at 8:30 a.m. as scheduled.

Deputy D.A. Danette Meyers, who is assigned to her case, said: “I hadn’t heard that Lindsay’s passport was stolen. If that is what truly happened, I’m truly sorry.”

“However, if it’s a hoax, I can tell you that Judge Revel will take it very, very seriously. Judge Revel and I are both going to be looking into this further. If she is looking for a way to make a non-appearance, we will take that very seriously.”

“When was the passport stolen, and when was it reported? I’m pretty sure that if you go to the American Embassy, you can be issued an emergency passport.”

She really expects us to believe it was stolen? By whom, when, and why? Indrani, to keep her in France? Isn’t she with bodyguards? Talk about living in denial.

Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, said: “I was on the phone with Lindsay’s assistant the entire night and we’re doing everything we can to resolve this.”

Holley adds, “Lindsay is distraught because it was her intention to get back to L.A. today to do more alcohol education classes and appear in court tomorrow.”
