May 2012 Archives

We know he's got moves, but does he have a sense of humor?

Saturday Night Live fans will find out on May 19, as iconic musician Mick Jagger has been tapped to host the season finale of the legendary sketch show. He will also serve as its musical guest.

Saturday Night Live will close out this season with a run of three consecutive shows, culminating in Jagger's turn as emcee.

This Saturday, Eli Manning will be at the helm, while Will Ferrell returns on May 12. Which host has you most excited?

Yahoo will be introducing a web series that parodies The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, with Ben Stiller, Kristen Bell and Malin Akerman among the cast.

Burning Love, which debuts Monday, June 4 on the Yahoo Comedy Channel, depicts an over-the-top, dramatic and hypersexual reality dating show.

Scarily, this is not that much more absurd than the real thing ...

Yahoo’s Bachelor parody will follow fictional fireman Mark Orlando, played by Ken Marino, as the hunk searches for the perfect woman to give it to.

There will be bubble baths, hair extensions, spray-tans, bitter competition and genuinely insane women (one of them homeless) along the way.

Former Bachelor Jake Pavelka, hilariously, even makes a cameo.

Burning Love is totally a must-see. For more scoop on the actual series airing this summer, follow this link for all The Bachelorette spoilers so far.

Serena Williams may play tennis, but she won't have anything to do with love any time soon.

So the multiple-time Grand Slam champion told Celebuzz this week, saying past relationships - she's been the rumored gal pal of Common and Drake - left too hurtful of a scar.

Sounds like the only balls Serena Williams will be hitting in the near future will be on the court. (Sorry.)

“I have given up on dating. It just hasn’t worked out well for me... I just have to remove myself from that atmosphere for about the next decade or so," Serena said.

Williams was involved with Common, off and on, for three years. She then dated Drake until this January, splitting with him amidst seemingly bitter circumstances, considering at least one Tweet she posted soon afterward:

You suck, it read.

“I’m a really emotional person. I give my all and everything," Serena explained. "I do make mistakes - like every human does - but the last relationship just was too much of a heartbreak for me. I just can’t go through that anymore. It was hard.”

Kate Gosselin had a lot on her plate as it is, but now the maligned reality mom is receiving threatening messages from a mystery, sinister antagonist.

Using a profile picture depicting the bible verse John 8:32, the ominous stalker has been sending the former Kate Plus 8 star increasingly creepy tweets.

The messages began April 26 with a countdown of when the antagonist will expose Kate Gosselin's dark secrets and supposed "immoral ways."

In 56 days from that Tweet, BT-dub.

“56 more days Kate!! It's not too late to change your ways. Follow us for updates!" wrote the stalker, before posting a follow-up five days later.

“I know what you did @Kateplusmy8, and in 51 days so will the world,” the freak wrote, tagging Radar Online to further publicize their efforts.

The creep also references Kate's publicist: “Hi Julie Carson May! Can't wait 4 u to read about ur greatest creation! You must be so proud of yourself!”

It's unclear what she did that was so bad or why it would shock people - it's pretty much a universally held belief that Kate Gosselin sucks anyway - but whatev.

In the New Testament of the bible, verse John 8:32 reads: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” This is deep stuff people.

Kate's supposed judgment day is June 21, according to our calculations, the same night of the summer solstice, for what that's worth (nothing).

The University of Washington's Kevin Birrell, a freshman computer science major, recently achieved Grand Master status on Tetris. Yes, there is such a thing.

It's rarefied air, too. According to GeekWire, the 18-year-old Birrell "is one of just 5 people - 2 outside Japan - to have achieved the [Grand Master title]."

Watch him play at INSANE speed below and you'll see why.

NOTE: If watching some dude play Tetris for 10 minutes doesn't float your boat, we've also posted the Kate Upton "Cat Daddy" video. Gotcha covered.

The i's may not be dotted, nor the t's crossed, but a new report claims Demi Lovato is pretty much confirmed as a judge on season two of The X Factor.

With names being tossed about haphazardly over the past few months, sources claimed this week that the fourth panel spot - alongside Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and $15 million-per-year newbie Britney Spears - had come down to Lovato and Miley Cyrus.

And, if the following E! News item is to be believed, Demi has beat out her fellow young star:

Demi Lovato X Factor Report

No contract has been signed still, apparently, but that doesn't mean we can't express our take on the possibility: it will be great for ratings, bad for credibility.

The judges are meant to guide the contestants, after all, right? Offer them advice based on their years in the industry? Seems difficult for a 19-year old to do.

What is your opinion? Would Lovato make a strong X Factor judge?

Fox is coming out with a new program called The Choice ... which is basically The Voice, only it's a dating show instead of a singing competition.

Seriously. There are blind auditions, spinning chairs and so on.

"Four celebrities ... blind auditions ... spinning chairs ... but ... it's not what you think," teases a promo that aired during American Idol last night:

The Choice Promo

The format, in which people question and choose their dates without seeing them, also recalls The Dating Game, which began in the 1960s.

The differences are the obvious rip-offs of NBC's The Voice, and the fact that four celebrities will be the bachelors and bachelorettes involved.

Cat Deeley, host of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, will host the new show. The participating celebrities have not yet been announced.

Fox's Mike Darnell tells EW of the new concept:

2012 is shaping up to be a big year for Kim Kardashian.

The reality star may very well marry Kanye West AND adopt a child... if a pair of new tabloid reports are to be believed.

It may not quote any sources, and it may not provide any evidence to back up its cover story, but this week's edition of OK! claims Kardashian is looking to adopt a baby from Armenia and also become pregnant at some point over the next few months.

Kim is on record as saying she wants to do as much as possible for Armenians around the world, which - one would think - means she'd stay as far away as possible from anyone of this descent.

(*Kim Kardashian is not having a baby.)

Lindsay Lohan was spotted leaving her friend’s hotel in N.Y. City and going on shopping excursion Wednesday with Vikram Chatwal.

It's the second time she's been romantically linked to the hotelier.

Last fall, the two were rumored to be dating, with Lohan getting into a heated argument with Chatwal's wife (they're separated) no less.

Romance or not, here's a photo of them yesterday ...

The 39-year-old multimillionaire has been spotted at with LiLo at his N.Y. City apartment partying ... without any alcohol, of course, LiLo swears.

Last year, her rep said, "Lindsay and Vikram are very good friends and nothing more than that. There's no romance between the two of them."

Expect a similar denial amid the rekindled rumors any minute now.

With the smell of sex still be all over him - seriously, watch this Cosmopolis trailer - Robert Pattinson has signed on for a new film.

According to Deadline, the Twilight Saga hunk will anchor Mission: Blacklist, a drama based on a book by military interrogator Eric Maddox. It outlines the true story of the search for Saddam Hussein. Rather heavy stuff for the star.

Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire will direct.

“This movie is a gripping, edge of your seat thriller,” says Ross M. Dinerstein, Managing Partner of Preferred Content, the main production company behind the movie. “I have been inspired by Robert and Jean-Stéphane’s dedication to tell this story in the most authentic way possible."

This will be a busy year for Pattinson. Aside from Cosmopolis, he'll also appear in Bel Ami and conclude in November with a little flick called Breaking Dawn Part 2.
