Courtney Robertson: Modeling, Winning in Auto-Tune!
Bachelor bad girl Courtney Robertson has become the star of the show this season, so it's no surprise she's been given the auto-tune treatment on YouTube.
In an instant viral video classic, some of the 28-year-old's most obnoxious quotes from the ABC reality show have been mashed together in music video form.
Whether she's name-checking her occupation ("modeling!"), bragging ("I got the rose!") or skanking it up ("Let's go bikini-less!"), she never ceases to amaze.
Or shut her month. Courtney Robertson has even more catchphrases than she does roses at this point. "Winning!" "I'm a move-maker! and "Snap, girls!" Et cetera.
Watch the hilarious video (and cringe that Ben keeps her around) below:
Will Courtney get the boot on tonight's new episode, or will her quest to woo Ben Flajnik / get famous carry on? Follow this link for The Bachelor spoilers.
Marston Hefner, Son of Hugh, Arrested For Attacking Claire Sinclair
Marston Hefner, the oldest son of Hugh Hefner, was arrested after he allegedly attacked his Playmate of the Year girlfriend Claire Sinclair, according to reports.
Police were called to the residence Marston shares with Sinclair in Pasadena, Calif., after one of Sinclair's family members called 911, claiming Marston had attacked her.
Officers observed visible injuries on Sinclair's body, including bruises and red marks, and Marston admitted the two had gotten into an argument earlier.
He did not admit striking Sinclair, however.
Sinclair told cops Marston punched her, kicked her in the stomach and refused to let her leave the residence, however. The model called family members after the alleged attack. Family members then made the decision to contact the authorities.
After a brief investigation, Marston was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence at around 11:15 p.m., and hauled off to a nearby police station.
Marston was released on $20,000 bail a few hours later.
Sinclar, 20, was Playboy's POTY 2011. Marson Hefner, 21, whose mom is Hugh's ex-wife Kimberley Conrad, has been dating her on-and-off since August 2010.

Grammy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Rihanna vs. Katy Perry
Featuring her new song "Part of Me," Katy Perry's Grammy performance contained what many felt was a thinly-veiled shot at Russell Brand Sunday night.
Rihanna and Coldplay joined forces in a performance of "Princess of China" that didn't generate as much controversy, but was still very well received.
Which of the two stars will perform better in a red carpet style showdown, though? That's the question of the hour. At least on The Hollywood Gossip.
Rihanna, as you can see, showed serious skin. Katy? Not so much in a blue gown that matched her hair (obviously). But she made up for that later.
Who will win this couture clash of the pop star BFFs?! Your votes will decide. Choose your favorite style star in our latest Grammy Awards Fashion Face-Off!
Grammy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Kate Beckinsale vs. Carrie Underwood
For every outrageous Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj fashion clash, there's a more conventional Kate Beckinsale-Carrie Underwood showdown waiting to be voted upon.
Thank goodness for that.
No offense to Gaga or Nicki, but we thought both Kate and Carrie were among the couture champions on the red carpet at Sunday's Grammy Awards.
Then again, it's hard for either of them to look bad in anything. Case in point: The actress' short white dress and the singer's sparkly blue full-length gown.
Which of these talented beauties was the best dressed Sunday night? Vote for your favorite style star in THG's latest Grammy Awards Fashion Face-Off!
Samuel L. Jackson Voted For Obama "Because He's Black"
Samuel L. Jackson is making news for some candid remarks about President Barack Obama and why he supported him in 2008. What did the actor say exactly?
That he pulled the lever for Obama because of his race.
In an interview with Ebony, Jackson said, "I voted for Barack because he's black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people, because they look like them ... That's American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn't mean [bleep] to me."
Jackson then went on to drop the n-word many times discussing Obama, telling the magazine, "When it comes down to it, they wouldn't have elected a [bleep]."
"Because ... what's a [bleep]? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ain't scary at all. [Bleeps] don't have beers at the White House. [Bleeps] don't let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar," he said, referring to Joe Wilson's famous outburst.
"A [bleep] would've stopped right there and said, ‘Who the f--k said that?' I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting re-elected."
There you go. The only thing missing is a Snakes on a Plane reference.
Provocative word choice aside, Jackson's point appears to be that some people vote based on race, and that Obama won because while he is black, he does not fit negative African-American stereotypes. For more on the subject, see Rock, Chris.

Grammy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Lady Gaga vs. Nicki Minaj
Adele outshone Lady Gaga musically by winning six Grammys Sunday night. Nicki Minaj may have upstaged her in the outrageous fashion and performance department.
After all, it was Nicki Minaj's Grammy performance, not Gaga's, that featured a confession to a priest and an exorcism (not to mention a fake red carpet Pope sighting).
Clearly there's room for both of these outsized personalities.
Gaga was on hand - wearing fishnets on her face in fact - but a devilish Nicki likely stole the show from her in the fashion department. If you can even call either "fashion."

Chris Brown Wins, Performs at Grammy Awards
Chris Brown returned to the Grammy Awards for the first time in three years Sunday night, notching a win for Best R&B album and putting on a spirited live performance.
Three years after assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna on the eve of the Grammys, Brown (who was convicted of felony assault) took that Staples Center stage.
The 22-year-old won over the crowd with a glow-in-the-dark rendition of "Turn Up the Music" and "Beautiful People." Take a look at the singer's effort below ...
There were no innuendos or screen cuts to ex-flame Rihanna. Chris Brown simply finished his songs, stood triumphantly and saluted the crowd before taking a bow.
Breezy - as Brown is nicknamed - made the night an even bigger success when he went on to win his first ever Grammy Award, for Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E.
"People who make mistakes and learn from them are ROLE MODELS too. Im just happy to inspire growth and positivity, #TEAMBREEZYdidit" Brown tweeted.
The haters and the skeptics remain in large quantities, but if his actions continue to match such words, he'll be on his way to a great career comeback.
Mitt Romney Edges Ron Paul to Win Maine Caucuses
Mitt Romney eked out a narrow win in Maine's Republican caucuses, state party officials announced Saturday, beating Ron Paul by approximately three percent.
The victory, however slim, offers the candidate a boost after three straight losses to Rick Santorum last week. How far it will carry him remains to be seen.
The former Massachusetts governor earned 39 percent of the vote, while Paul took 36 percent, his strongest showing by share of the vote so far in the campaign.
Paul also finished second to Romney in neighboring New Hampshire.
Santorum got 18 percent of the vote in Maine and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has faded since winning South Carolina, had 6 percent.
While the Maine results don’t immediately offer any convention delegates to Romney, they give him renewed momentum - at least according to Romney, who said:
“The voters of Maine sent a clear message that it is past time to send an outsider to the White House, a conservative with a lifetime of experience in the private sector, who can uproot a culture of taxing, spending, borrowing and endless bureaucracy.”
The Maine results are based on votes cast at 84 percent of municipal caucuses that have been conducted to date; the rest will be held by March 20.
The state’s delegates to the Republican convention will be allocated in May. Because the results aren't officially complete, Paul did not concede defeat.
“It’s almost like we could call it a tie,” he told supporters.
Again, Maine's party officials have declared Romney the winner. However, with 16 percent of the caucuses - many in counties where Paul is poised to do well - postponed due to inclement weather, it's still possible for Paul to overtake him.
Katy Perry Grammy Performance: Is "Part of Me" a Dig at Russell Brand?
Their divorce is amicable and we don't normally like to read into things like this, but Katy Perry's new song, "Part of Me," sure sounds like a dig at Russell Brand.
The newly Katy started off her 2012 Grammy Awards performance singing her hit "E.T.", but then the music suddenly stopped and she burst into "Part of Me."
Aggressively, she sang lyrics like:
“You chewed me up and spit me out / Like I was poison in your mouth / You took my light, you drained me down / You ripped me off, your love was cheap.”
Easy to interpret it as bitterness toward Brand, no? Watch Perry perform in a ridiculously tight, form fitting rubber cat suit of sorts with her blue hair below:
Perhaps the strongest indication that this was aimed at Russell? The original song lyrics include, “You can keep the dog from me, I never liked him anyway.”
But last night, Perry sang: “Keep your diamond ring, in fact, you can keep everything – except for me.” Ouch. That's got to hurt, R ... amicable split or not.
Coldplay, Rihanna Perform at Grammy Awards
Coldplay welcomed special guest Rihanna to the stage for a performance of their new duet, "Princess of China," at the 2012 Grammy Awards Sunday night.
A bit more subdued than Nicki Minaj's Grammy performance, but still a strong effort on a night that brought together the best in music (and honored Whitney Houston).
You can follow this link for the official "Princess of China" video and see their live performance below, which Coldplay followed up with their mega-hit, "Paradise."
How'd they do? Watch the performance below and see what you think:
