Emily Maynard is clearly still bitter at Kalon McMahon, who she kicked off The Bachelorette this week. Knowing he's in the Bachelor Pad 3 cast, she won't watch it.

McMahon, 27, will compete against previous Bachelor and Bachelorette stars like Erica Rose, Lindzi Cox, Ed Swiderski and Season 2 winner Michael Stagliano.

Maynard won't be tuning in to watch them battle each other and fans for the $250,000 prize, she announced via Twitter Thursday. Her reasoning for that?

"The fact Kalon will ever be on any TV [show] again makes me want to stab my eyeballs out with dull pencils," the single mom explained. "Too much?"

Maynard sent Kalon packing Monday after Doug Clerget informed her that he had been badmouthing her and worse, her daughter Ricki, as "baggage."

"I want to go out there and rip his limbs off and beat him with them," Maynard seethed, adding, "I just wanna go West Virginia, hood rat, backwoods on his ass."

And so she did. It was awesome.

Eight guys remain in the hunt this season, which concludes July 16. The Bachelorette spoilers (and ABC's previews) strongly hint at who her final three are.

Is Emily Maynard engaged? Reports this week suggest so, but at this point, it's not confirmed. All we know is that there are three clear frontrunners now.

Who should she choose? Vote below!

Enormous, breaking news, members of the celebrity gossip world: Kim Kardashian has changed her Twitter handle photo. We repeat...

KIM KARDASHIAN HAS CHANGED HER TWITTER HANDLE PHOTO.

It's unclear what sparked the monumental decision, but it affects literally millions of people around the country, who woke up today to a never-before-seen shot of this reality star, one we could not even track down in our extensive gallery of Kim Kardashian photos. Peep it now and then react:

So... what do you think?!?!?!?!?!?

Photos of Lady Gaga's new perfume, fittingly called Fame, have leaked online, and now the Mother Monster herself has confirmed that they're the real deal.

Lady Gaga tweeted the pictures below of the bottle and box for her new scent saying: "It looks like the photos of my new perfume are being leaked."

"Oh you fashion editors I could just crinkle my hands at you!"

She then answered a fan asking "Will there be a male version for gays?" saying "My perfume was designed for women, but a lot of my gay friends wear it."

She tweeted another pic showing the back of the box, saying: "Here's what it smells like!" The back says the fragrance was 'compounded by Lady Gaga.'"

The description of Fame, straight outta Haus Laboratories, reads:

"Tears of belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea, a black veil of incense, pulverized apricot and the combinative essences of saffron and honey drops."

We have no idea what the hell that means, but awesome.

Just to recap, a mentally unbalanced woman with six children somehow got a doctor to impregnate her with octuplets, and is now filming porn to provide for them.

Jimmy Kimmel helpfully reminded us of this last night before showing unsuspecting L.A. residents a side of Nadya "Octomom" Suleman they'd never seen.

Nor would they ever, ever wish to.

Jimmy Kimmel Shows People Octomom Photos

Kimmel couldn’t show the Octomom porn photos on TV, but he could show passersby the images and film their reactions, which were less than glowing.

The shots from the upcoming film, titled Octomom: Home Alone, led to some strong responses. “I’m about to throw up in my mouth,” one woman said.

“Maybe Rick Santorum was on to something with that banning porn idea,” Kimmel added, later lamenting that “I think porn has jumped the shark.”

Nadya Suleman has that effect on things. Namely porn and IVF.

Chris Brown is portraying himself as the victim in Wednesday night's fight with Drake and his entourage, but one of Brown's posse members may have been the primary instigator of the violent brawl, according to new reports from witnesses.

The Chris Brown-Drake fight clearly involved major smack talk on both sides, but it was Brown's friend who flashed gang signs and made death threats at Drake's entourage moments before the melee broke out at W.I.P. nightclub, allegedly.

Eyewitnesses say that Chris Brown had been hanging out at his VIP table with a posse of 16 guys or so ... one of whom was a man with dreadlocks who was throwing gang signs and screaming at Drake and his entourage.

Witnesses say this man was the primary instigator in the brawl that followed.

Among other verbal taunts, the man yelled out, "Somebody's gonna die!"

The man also lashed out at Drake's friend Meek Mill - the man who allegedly inflicted this gash on Brown - saying "F**k you, we're gonna kill you n!gga."

As the threats were made, Chris reportedly stood up and embraced him.

If the man acted as if he's associated with a gang - regardless of whether he actually is - it could be significant, as Chris' probation bars him from such things.

Seriously. His probation stipulates him from fraternizing with gang members. Says a lot right there, no? Neither he nor Drake are criminal suspects, FYI.

Bethenny Frankel kicked off her career as a talk show host by rambling on about her marriage, slamming the media for divorce rumors she clearly planted herself.

Depressingly, however, the results have been encouraging, as ratings for Bethenny were strong after one week on the air.

But Wendy Williams, who has somehow filmed over 500 episodes of her talk show, told Celebuzz that her new rival better be careful with what she says on air.

"She should keep her private life private," Williams warned, lest she "hurt her loved ones."

Those sound like fighting words! Let's join in, THGers! Which talk show host do you like best?

The Phillie Phanatic might be the most beloved mascot in all of sports. The guy is really just about having fun.

But try telling that to Suzanne Peirce. This Abington, Pennsylvania native is suing the fuzzy green monster (below, left) for injuries she suffered in 2010 when the Phanatic picked up Peirce's lounge chair and tossed her into a pool.

The incident took place at The Golden Inn, a hotel in Avalon, New Jersey, and the lawsuit alleges "severe and permanent injuries" to the victim as a result of the Phanatic's "various antics."

A spokesperson for the Phillies says the team stands by its representative, believing the Phanatic did not engage in any wrongful activity.

The same, however, cannot be said for the Philadelphia offense, whose woeful production is largely response for the team's last-place standing in the National League East.

The Jerry Sandusky trial is in recess for a three-day weekend after the ninth alleged victim of the former Penn State coach took the stand Thursday.

Victim No. 9, a slightly built 18-year-old, looking nervous and ashamed, leaned into the witness stand mic yesterday to deliver graphic testimony.

He was a trailer-park kid from a poor, single-parent family, just the kind of project Jerry Sandusky's Second Mile charity was supposed to help.

Jerry Sandusky Trial: Alleged Victims Testify

Victim No. 9 told the shocked, packed Centre County Courtroom how when he was a young teen he'd stay in Sandusky's basement on weekends.

That's when the former Penn State defensive coordinator would routinely come down at night and force him to perform oral sex, he testified.

"What was I going to do?" the witness said, his vulnerable voice cracking. "Look at him, he's a big guy, bigger than me. Way bigger than me."

The boy said that he only kept returning to Sandusky's home because his mother, thinking he needed a male role model, insisted he do so.

Soon the sessions occasionally included sodomy, which couldn't stop either.

"I just went with it," he said. "There was no fighting against it. … Sometimes [I'd] scream. Sometimes tell him to get off of me. But other than that, he was there, you were in a basement, no one can hear you down there."

Max Page, the boy who played a mini-Darth Vader in a memorable Volkswagen Super Bowl commercial, successfully came through open-heart surgery Thursday.

"The surgery went extremely well," Dr. Vaughn Starnes, the cardiothoracic surgeon who performed the two-hour operation at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, said.

"Max is in the cardiac ICU and recovering very well."

The seven-year-old, born with a congenital heart defect, is expected to remain there for the next 3-4 days, followed by six weeks of home recuperation.

Max's mother, Jennifer Page, said that her boy – who has had recurring roles on The Young and the Restless and Prime Suspect – put on a brave face.

"Max wanted to hold his brother's hand and Max said, 'It's okay, I'm not scared,'" said Jennifer. "He just wanted to hold our hands and his stuffed animals."

"He went in much calmer than we were."

"Max spent all night making us laugh," his father, Buck Page, said the night before. "Even this morning, he kept telling us everything is going to be fine."

On Friday morning, Jennifer Page told the Today show in an e-mail, "Max is awake at times, talking, and looking forward to going home."

Max is also helping to raise money for kids in need at Children's Hospital. To contribute, click here. Then watch the youngster in action below ...
