Travis Garland and Justin Bieber Perform on Amercian Idol

May 20, 2010


Casey James was sent packing, while Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox advanced to next week’s finals on last night’s American Idol results show.

But the major news coming out of the broadcast centered around the pair of professional artists that performed.

First, Justin Bieber shattered ear drums around the nation, as he took the stage and all females in attendance screamed like their hair was on fire. Watch the shaggy-haired 16-year old in action now:

Also, viewers were introduced to Travis Garland, a former boy bander that was discovered on MySpace by that loser Perez Hilton. Reaction to this performance has been mixed.

Watch it below and sound off now!

Suge Knight Arrested For Assault with a Deadly Weapon as Per Usual


Marion “Suge” Knight was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, involving a firearm. He was pulled over and taken into custody early this morning.

He was also taken into custody for driving on a suspended license. Knight is still in custody and bail is set at $65,000 … pretty small amount for Suge.

Authorities said that Knight was arrested in connection to an alleged crime that occurred shortly before his arrest … but they wouldn’t elaborate further.

A witness in the incident told police that the rap executive pointed a gun at another car this morning – while sitting in the driver’s seat of his own SUV.

No word if the target was Akon or Yukmouth.

GANGSTA: Suge Knight’s 23,869th arrest sounds pretty violent. Dude has a mean streak, though we would too if our mom named us Marion. Please don’t murder us.

Reports say after cops received the information, officers located Suge’s car in the Los Angeles area and initiated a “high risk stop” – i.e. guns were drawn.

Officers drew their firearms and ordered Suge – and two women – out of the vehicle.  Suge was eventually taken into custody and arrested for assault.

Pretty run of the mill stuff for the hip hop mogul. Knight should be free, accept a plea deal and be back on the streets terrorizing people before long.

Rumored Couple: Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams


“No doubt that bakery’s got all the bomb frosting / I love those cupcakes like McAdams loves Gosling.” – Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell, “Lazy Sunday

Aside from ruining the above lyrics forever, this romantic rumor would be awesome: co-stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams are reportedly dating!

Their movie Blue Valentine earned great reviews at the Cannes Film Festival – but they pair also have people talking about whether they’re a real couple.

In the drama, Williams and Gosling play a couple trying to prevent their marriage from falling apart. But the stars looked anything but troubled Tuesday.

Later, just before their big premiere, Williams clasped Gosling’s hand on the red carpet, and the two remained hand-in-hand walking into the screening.

So … are these two co-stars an item or not?

“He is cozy with everyone!” Gosling’s rep says. A source close to the producers, however, says otherwise. “You know actors who meet on movie sets,” he said.

It can be the most romantic place in the world.”

This isn’t the first time rumors about their relationship have surfaced. At the Sundance Film Festival in January, where Blue Valentine premiered, Gosling, who brought his mother as his date, and Williams showed obvious chemistry at a cast dinner.

Ryan previously dated, and exchanged sappy The Notebook quotes with Rachel McAdams. Michelle has a young daughter, Matilda, with the late Heath Ledger.

Here’s hoping it’s for real!

Valerie Bertinelli: Engaged to Tom Vitale!


Valerie Bertinelli’s getting married. The actress, 50, is engaged to businessman Tom Vitale, as she reveals in the June issue of AARP The Magazine.

Hey, life begins at the half-century mark, right?

“I’ve never had a male friend like I have with Tom,” she gushes to the magazine of Tom Vitale, who she has been dating for nearly six years now.

Vitale proposed during a romantic trip to Italy.

“We’re both still a little afraid of commitment, but over there, it was like our souls were calibrated. If the timing wasn’t right, I wouldn’t have asked.”

Valerie Bertinelli is about to be Mrs. Tom Vitale!

“If my life wasn’t starting to turn around, I couldn’t have welcomed [Vitale] into it,” Bertinelli says. “We just understood each other completely.”

It’s the second marriage for Bertinelli, who filed for divorce from ’80s rock legend Eddie Van Halen in 2005 after nearly 25 years together.

They have a 19-year-old son, Wolfgang.

Congratulations to the will-be-newlyweds!

The Hills stars pushed too far


As The Hills barrels through its sixth and final season, betrayals, drug scandals and catfights are rampant — and nearly every friendship seems to be in ruins. But while many believe Kristin Cavallari, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag and their castmates brought the drama on themselves, it seems the producers may be largely to blame. According to insiders, Hills execs have been plying cast members with alcohol, paying them to spread rumors about each other — and even encouraging them to make sex tapes and leak them to the press, all for the sake of ratings. Far from being protective of their young stars, “some producers are definitely manipulative and dishonest,” cast member Alex Jervy Smith tells In Touch. And another Hills source agrees. “It seems they could not care less whether the cast is on drugs or out of their minds,” says the source. “They’ll create situations to stir up drama. And then everyone winds up hating each other. The cast will be fighting — which is what the producers want to happen in the first place.”

Lauren “LC” Conrad’s ex Jason Wahler says producers ended LC’s friendship with Heidi years ago. He believes producers encouraged Heidi and Spencer to spread false rumors that LC, 24, had a sex tape. “It really hurt Lauren’s feelings, and it wasn’t true,” he tells In Touch. And the trend continues. “They wanted Lo Bosworth to do a sex tape with her boyfriend Scott and leak it,” the insider reveals. “Lo refused.” Still, many of the Hills stars have seen their love lives put through the ringer for the sake of onscreen drama.

Justin Frye and Kendra: Exposed!


Now that there’s been cold, hard, naked confirmation that a Kendra Wilkinson sex tape exists, readers are bombarding us with two questions:

  1. Who leaked the video?
  2. Who is the dude in this photo really giving it to Kendra?

The answer, it turns out, is one and the same: Justin Frye.

In 2003, Frye and Wilkinson shared an apartment in San Diego. Shortly after the future Playboy model turned 18, she and Justin filmed the sex tape, which Kendra then left behind when she moved into Hugh Hefner’s mansion.

Frye sold it to Vivid Entertainment this spring for $100,000, as sources tell Radar Online that he and Kendra have both “cut a deal” for portions of its proceeds.

“He waited until Kendra’s fame hit a certain level,” an insider said. “He was striking while the iron is hot, if you like. This was a well orchestrated plan.”

Frye, seen above, hails from Arizona and has dabbled in mixed martial arts. He “has shown the tape to his friends,” a source told Star Magazine, adding:

“At the end of the month, you’re all going to know just how crazy it is!”

You can get a pretty good idea RIGHT NOW, as well. Consider yourself warned.

Janet Jackson’s New Short Hair: Shear Madness!


Janet Jackson just celebrated her 44th birthday, and decided to turn over a new leaf in the form of a chic, much shorter hairstyle in London on Wednesday.

The sister of the late Michael Jackson, who is currently single, has been largely out of the limelight in what has been an emotional last 11 months for her.

We’re kinda digging the new hairstyle, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that it marks such a dramatic shift from the gorgeous singer’s normal look.

What do you think? Love it? Hate it? Vote below …

Jerry O’Connell: Ditching law school to play a lawyer

JerryOConnell0520.jpg

Jerry O’Connell’s not a real lawyer yet, but he’s playing one on TV! He’s joined the cast of the new CBS show The Defenders, opposite Jim Belushi — which means he’ll have to put his real-life legal aspirations on hold. The actor just finished his first year at Southwestern Law School in LA, which he did while wife Rebecca Romijn was working on her show Eastwick and he was caring for their 16-month-old twin daughters, Charlie and Dolly. “And because I’m home all day with the girls, I figured I would take a couple of classes at night,” said Jerry, 36. “It was either [that] or play video games until 2 a.m.!” Now that Eastwick is canceled, he’s off to work, but he has vowed to continue his education later. And maybe he’ll learn something on the show!
