Leighton Meester Performs Alongside Weezer

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Music, Television, Videos

From covering Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” to sharing the living room stage with Taylor Swift, Weezer’s front man Rivers Cuomo seems to enjoy cozying up to cute pop stars as of late. Cuomo has now moved on to aspiring pop princesses, like Leighton Meester.

During an All Hallow’s Eve show in New York, the Gossip Girl actress performed a supposedly-spontaneous duet for the band’s latest single,  “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To.”

While her voice is lost in the video (who wouldn’t be intimidated?), I’m more concerned about her multi-colored leggings, sci-fi-inspired jacket, and Amy Winehouse hair.

Rihanna Tells Her Side of the Story

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups, Legal Issues

UPDATE: You can watch a portion of that interview here.

Rihanna said she felt like an entirely different pop star after she was attacked by Chris Brown.

The “Umbrella” hitmaker was astonished by the attention she attracted after she was abused by her then-boyfriend in February, likening it to the experience Britney had following her well-publicized breakdown in 2007.

“I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day,” she told Glamour magazine.

Nicole Kidman Opens Up About Kinky Sex Life

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors

In an interview for December’s British GQ (of which she graces the cover), Nicole Kidman fills us in on her taboo sex life.

“I’ve explored obsession. I’ve explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I’ve explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I’ve explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy. You work on it [the relationship]. It’s a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be: incredibly raw, incredibly dangerous and you’re very much out at sea. You’re exposed. You could drown.”

Too much information, Nicole? Well, at least she seems happier with new hubby Keith Urban than she was with that iconic former husband.

Of Tom Cruise, Nicole wasn’t so willing to spill any secrets, keeping a tight lip: “I want to honor that marriage for what it was, and there is nothing I would go into about that. I have never discussed the intricacies of it and I never will.”

Kidman will appear on the silver screen alongside Oscar winners Marion Cotillard and Daniel Day-Lewis in the musical Nine, which opens this Christmas.

Katy Perry Changed Russell Brand

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Music, Television, Dating, Rumors

While his soiled hair, uncouth mouth, and lack of manners made it quite clear that British comedian Russell Brand was a stranger to normal, monogamous relationships, it would seem as of late that his girlfriend Katy Perry is changing his view of the world.

“There have been times when I have been in the company of prostitutes and they were the most wonderful women in the world,” Brand said, reflecting on his past behavior.

Apparently, those times are behind him, and he’s ready to embrace the “I Kissed a Girl” popstar, which I honestly didn’t believe, despite their very public affection for each other.

“She’s lovely. I am living in a different way at the moment. Regardless of what happens in my current situation, I am unlikely to be satisfied with the calamitous promiscuity of the preceding five or six years.”

VIDEO: Christopher Walken Reads Gaga’s Poker Face Lyrics

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Videos

As we’ve seen him prove many times before, Christopher Walken can make any screenplay sound better than it was originally scripted. But what could he possibly do with lyrics?

This reading of “Poker Face” is from this weekend’s broadcast of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on the BBC. Maybe Lady Gaga should trade in a (Kanye) West for a Walken?

Miley Cyrus: 2009’s Worst Celebrity Influence

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television

Maybe abandoning Twitter was the best thing Miley Cyrus could have done.

In a recent poll conducted by Just So You Know, the 16-year-old superstar was crowned the “Worst Celeb Influence” of 2009. Miley’s “win” comes after another long year of controversy. When she wasn’t offending Asians, she was either dating a 20-year-old or pole dancing on national television.

VIDEO: Ellen Presses Taylor Swift About Lautner

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Dating, Videos, Rumors

Forget Joe Jonas. It looks like his ex has got someone a lot beefier lined up for herself.

Despite numerous public appearances together in the past few weeks (including one just last night in Beverly Hills), Valentine’s Day co-stars Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner have not yet confirmed an official romance. But that won’t keep a curious talk show host from prying.

On today’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the country star did her best to get around any questions about the New Moon hunk. When asked about a recent off-camera outing together, Swift cutely replied: “I really like hockey a lot. And it turns out—so does he!”

Taylor Swift Disinterested in Partying

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Drunk, Parties

Country’s sweetheart Taylor Swift has no intention to be a Hollywood wild child.

The “Love Story” singer says going clubbing and drinking alcohol doesn’t interest her unlike many other stars her age:

“I’ve been given the freedom to do whatever I want. I’m 19 - if I want to storm out of the house and go to a club and get drunk and take my clothes off and run naked through Nashville, I can do that. I just really would rather not. It’s as simple as that. It’s not like I’ve been beaten down by some corporation that’s forcing me to always behave myself - I just naturally do. Sometimes people are fascinated by the fact that I don’t care about partying, almost to the point where they think it’s weird. I think when we get to the point where it’s strange for you not to be stumbling around high on something at 19, it’s a warped world.”

Taylor also says she is getting revenge on the girls who used to bully her at school by writing songs about them.

“I would go to school and not have anyone to talk to, but what I could look forward to was going home and writing something about it. There’s where the revenge of writing a song about someone who’s means to you started. If you’re horrible to me I’m going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That’s how I operate.”
