In Touch Exclusive:The Idols take on Kelly Clarkson

June 21, 2010


With their 51-city tour about to hit the road, there is no idle time for the 2010 American Idol top ten. In Touch found the gang hard at work last week rehearsing for a show that all are insisting will be nothing like Idol tours of the past.

“This was a very singer/songwriter season,” Didi Benami tells In Touch. “I am starting the show, so no pressure there! I have to pump everyone up. The tone of the show I am setting is showing that it’s something different and my first song will be something I guarantee no one will know.”

Heidi Montag: Coming On to Justin Bieber, Moving in With Former Hugh Hefner Plaything


We were astonished to read it, but Heidi Montag is apparently serious about divorcing Spencer Pratt – and she’s already playing the field again … sort of.

For the first time since the separation rumors started, she took to her Twitter and openly said she’s getting divorced, then promptly hit on Justin Bieber.

She may rue the day once his fans get wind of it.

The Hills star wrote: “@justinbieber now that I am getting divorced I think you and I should do a photo shoot together! Cutie ;) ! I’m closer to your age.”

Closer than what is not clear. She’s 23 and he’s 16. That is minimum security prison territory for the ‘Tag. Still, who can resist that bowl cut? Yummy …

MMM: That ice cream isn’t the only thing Heidi finds delicious.

In addition to salivating over the Bieb online, Heidi also Tweeted some interesting information pertaining to her upcoming new reality show with Jen Bunney.

Apparently, she and the former Hills co-star will be welcoming a third roommate to their Malibu girls’ pad (allegedly owned by Spencer’s pal Cougar Zank):

Former Hugh Hefner girlfriend Karissa Shannon!

Yes, one of the Shannon Twins, but apparently not the other. We have no idea why, how she knows Heidi, or whether anyone would watch this crap, but:

“@karissashannon will be moving in my Malibu house this summer and will be filming our new show!” wrote Montag to her 1,063,188 followers today.

Whatever. That’s all. Here’s Heidi’s Justin Bieber Tweet, which she’ll probably take down after ‘tween girls send her death threats a la kim Kardashian:

MuchMusic, MuchCuteness: Kellan Lutz vs. Justin Bieber


The ridiculous outfit donned by host Miley Cyrus may have been a source of controversy at last night’s MuchMusic Video Awards ceremony in Toronto, but we can top it.

Both Kellan Lutz and Justin Bieber walked the red carpet at this event, creating teenage girls to scream at decibel levels typically reserved for fighter planes.

But it would be too easy for fans to simply drool over this Twilight Saga hunk and 16-year old singing sensation. We must challenge our readers on a daily basis and, therefore, have posted photos of these hunks below.

Ogle them and then vote…

Who looked hotter on the red carpet?

Chris Klein in rehab

Less than a week after his DUI arrest, Chris Klein has checked into rehab. The American Pie actor, who reportedly had a blood alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit when he was pulled over in LA on June 16, entered the Cirque Lodge in Utah for alcohol addicton treatment. “He understands now that he cannot beat this disease alone,” a rep for the 31-year-old star, who was once engaged to Katie Holmes, said in a statement. Other famous Cirque Lodge alums include Lindsay Lohan, Eva Mendes and Mary-Kate Olsen.

CW Stars Face-Off on Red Carpet: Nina Dobrev vs. Shenae Grimes


Nina Dobrev is a beautiful star on a fantastic series, The Vampire Diaries.

Shenae Grimes is a rail-thin actress on a mind-numbingly boring drama, 90210.

Based on those descriptions, you’d think the winner of this THG Fashion Face-Off would be clear. But you never know! Readers tend to do crazy things sometimes, such as defend Miley Cyrus.

Therefore, we’ve pitted these two CW stars against one another because both showed up on the red carpet of last night’s MuchMusic Video Awards. What do you think of Grimes using a cross to make such a fashion statement?

And who looked prettier at the event?

Cameron Diaz: Will Travel For Booty!


“Oh my gosh, I can’t even count how many times I’ve gotten on a plane for love. It’s not unusual in this business; my lifestyle demands it. I’m always traveling for [whispers] … c*ck. You’ve got to go where it is.” – Cameron Diaz

Her personality might rub some people the wrong way, but to us, Cameron Diaz seems like the coolest chick ever – and not just because she’s all about long-distance booty calls, cave girl sex, smoking weed and not caring what you think.

The star of Knight and Day and The Green Hornet is refreshingly candid and forthright, and clearly lives every day to the fullest. Her attitude is so contagious, merely reading the excerpts below should put you in a good mood …

On Knight and Day co-star Tom Cruise: “Tom is super. He’s an exciting, special person. He’s passionate about making movies and passionate about his family. Those are the two most important things in his life, and he lives that.”

Cameron and Tom

Permanently effervescent actress Cameron Diaz has only high praise for Tom Cruise … and Seth Rogen … and Snoop Dogg … and Justin Timberlake … and

On whether or not she’s seen Green Hornet co-star Seth Rogen high: “I might have seen Seth high but didn’t completely know it.  I went to a party one night where I think there was some stoneage. People were definitely pretty baked.”

On high school classmate Snoop Dogg: “Snoop was a year older than me. He stood out. He was tall and skinny and wore ponytails. I probably bought weed from him.”

On rumors that she’s dating Alex Rodriguez: “No, no, no. I’ve been in relationships since I was 16. The past three years I’ve made a conscious decision not to be in a relationship for as long as I want. I want to have a relationship with myself.”

On working with her ex, Justin Timberlake: “We’re adults. Of course we could work together. It’s been three years since we broke up. It’s done. We’re friends; he’s really talented and funny, and we’re good at being funny together. He’s so hilarious.”

On others’ opinions of her films and her work: “Whether other people consider my accomplishments to be successful or not doesn’t matter to me. I don’t give a f*ck what other people think. I have my own standards I live by.”

On her booty: “My booty is on hiatus from film but not from everyday life, where it doesn’t stop moving. It’s in constant sway and has a mind of its own. On camera, though, there hasn’t been an opportunity for it to assert itself lately.”

On men who try to pick her up: “I never shut down any man unless he’s a total douchebag. It takes a lot for a guy to ask out a girl like me – not because I think I’m super special or anything. It’s just that I think men are intimidated.”

On primal instincts: “I’m primal on an animalistic level, kind of like, ‘Bonk me over the head, throw me over your shoulder.  You man, me woman.’ Not everybody has the right kind of primal thing for me … I love the physical contact.”

On sexuality and love: “Sexuality and love can be different things. I can be attracted to a woman sexually, but it doesn’t mean I want to be in love with a woman. If I’m going to be with a woman sexually, it doesn’t mean I’m a lesbian..”

On rumors that Anna Faris was mocking her in Lost in Translation: “She’s lovely, talented, funny, and I love watching her. I have no ill feelings toward her whatsoever. You can’t hurt my feelings. I’m the first to make fun of myself.”

On celebrity gossip: “If I spent time reading what people make up, I would be taking away from how I live my life, which is better than anyone could imagine.”

On her life: “I have an extraordinary life, for which I am so grateful. If you’re grateful for what you have, you’re in need of nothing else. I can’t imagine how my life could get better, but I’m sure it can. It will – because it always does.”

Happy Birthday, Prince William!


Based on recent tabloid reports, Prince William might soon be engaged and might soon be a father.

But this much we know for certain: he’s 28 years old today!

The hunky piece of royalty shares a birthday with former American Idol winner Kris Allen and his relationship with Kate Middleton is at the center of British gossip magazines every week of every month of every years. We almost feel badly for him, but then we take a look at his face.

And who can have pity for such a stud muffin?!? Happy birthday, Big Will!

Justin Bieber to Anchor Gulf Coast Telethon


A night after Justin Bieber entertained fans in his native country of Canada – watch his performance at the MuchMusic Video Awards NOW! – this 16-year old cutie will head down south.

Along with other celebrities such as Kathy Griffin, Ryan Seacrest and Chelsea Handler, Bieber will join Larry King for a special telethon this evening. Airing on CNN, the special will benefit citizens left in ruin by the BP oil spill in April.

Bieber in Canada

Titled “Disaster in the Gulf: How You Can Help,” the fundraiser will air at 8 p.m. EST and feature stars live and via satellite.

Also booked for the event: Randy Jackson, Ted Danson, Lenny Kravitz, Jenny McCarthy, Tim McGraw, Alyssa Milano, Robert Redford, Ian Somerhalder, Edward James Olmos, Pete Wentz and many others.

All money raised from the telethon will benefit the United Way, the National Wildlife Federation and the Nature Conservancy. All these organizations are dedicated to helping families and individuals whose lives have been profoundly affected by this man-made disaster.

Said King in a statement: “I understand bureaucracy and that some things take time, but when you’re out of work, you don’t need help tomorrow, you need help today.”

Trace Cyrus on Ashley Tisdale: Worst Person Ever!


Trace Cyrus is either a jealous brother or a great brother.

In the midst of sister Miley receiving a never-ending stream of criticism for her wardrobe choices and ridiculous quotes, Trace has taken to his Twitter account and stolen a few headlines from his sibling.

Who knows if his goal is to divert negative attention from Miley or to compete with her, but one thing is certain: Dude really, really hates Ashley Tisdale! Yesterday, he Tweeted:

By far the worst person I’ve met in my life is Ashley Tisdale. I’ve never had someone who dosnt know me AT ALL make up so many rumors and bull**** about me. You don’t even know me b****.

God took me by the hand, told me not to b afraid. He told me all his secrets, I live by them everyday. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone’s opinion is always right. To them.

We have a few reactions to this:

  1. Who hates Ashley Tisdale?!?
  2. We’re a celebrity gossip site that surfs the Web, places phone calls and spends every waking hour contacting sources around the globe for rumors and stories. Not once have we ever heard Tisdale say a word about Trace Cyrus.
  3. It’s incredible but true: Miley does NOT have the worst fashion taste in her family.
  4. How can Tisdale be the worst person Trace has ever met? Has he never been introduced to his own sister?!?

Lady Gaga, Machine Gun Bra Cover Rolling Stone


The machine gun bra is not exactly a look one sees every day. Then again, the woman donning the heavy artillery underwear is not your everyday girl next door.

This is probably the only way to outdo last year’s Lady Gaga nude Rolling Stone cover – Gaga nude except for semi-automatic weapons protruding from her chest.

Those are some serious guns …

Lady Gaga Rolling Stone Cover

STRAPPED: Lady Gaga heats up Rolling Stone in more ways than one.

The magazine may have jumped the shark years ago, but it’s sure to get people talking with this issue. Although we personally prefer her spilling out of a Yankees jersey.

Where does this latest attempt to shock and awe us rank with Gaga’s best?

Should she tone it down, or should she have pushed the envelope further? Would you have liked to see her totally nude, with bigger guns, or covered up for a change?

Discuss!
