Miley Cyrus

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


Forget . 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

Taylor Swift and fellow teenage popstar Miley CyrusCountry’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.”


Taylor Swift Leaves Interview Over Kanye Questions

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Music, Television, Rumors

Taylor Swift walks out of interviewThe media may not stop talking about Kanye West’s VMA incident; however, Taylor Swift has had enough, walking out of an interview after being prodded about the event one too many times.

Interviewing on a Tampa Bay radio station, Taylor answered to three questions regarding Kanye before storming off—the last being one where the interviewer suggested that the incident was staged.

“I really would appreciate if we could talk about something else—because I’ve asked you three times now. I’m trying to be nice about it. Because it’s not something that we need to spend this whole interview talking about.”

The DJ’s last words before Taylor walked off? “It’s good for your career though… Because you are the hero here and he is the zero.”

Major kudos to Taylor—I have no idea how she maintains her composure and class in all of this.

Kelly Clarkson Slams Kanye

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Rants

Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Kelly ClarksonKelly Clarkson has blasted Kanye West for being “a tactless a**hole.”

The “My Life Would Suck Without You” singer is furious with the “Stronger” rapper for storming on stage at the VMAs on Sunday as Taylor Swift collected the Best Female Video prize for “You Belong To Me.”

Kelly has questioned whether Kanye’s childhood is to blame for his egotistical behavior:

“What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like s**t. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty sh**ty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, a**hole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my a**hole ex that cheated on me over you… which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really (sic)??”

Kanye West and Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs

UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s newest apology here.

How is it possible that a 19-year-old girl has more maturity than a 32-year-old man?

Even though she would have been forgiven for any choice words she could use have used, Taylor Swift decided not to go there last night. When questioned by reporters about Kanye West’s rude behavior at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the country singer simply opted to take the high road.

“I was standing onstage and I was really excited because I had just won an award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage,” Swift told E! News. “And then, um, I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.”

Parade: Celebrities Earn 115 Times More Than You

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors

Cash

Parade magazine will soon release a “What People Earn” issue which details the income earned by Hollywood’s elite for the fiscal year of 2008, a year which was extremely rough on the finances of many average Americans.

The issue reports that Jennifer Aniston earned a hefty $27 million, which trumps the paltry $2.25 mill raked in during 2008. Taylor Swift out-earned Brit with $5.5 million, which still pales when compared to Beyonce’s stunning $80 million in earnings.

So who’s the biggest star of them all, the top earner for the year 2008? Is it , Will Smith, Donald Trump? The winner, earning the most in the last calendar year, is Mattel with a whopping $3.3 billion. Barbie - still hot after all these years. Now, that’s star power.

According to the issue, celebrity salaries trump the average American’s yearly earnings by an extreme amount: the stars earn around 115 times more money than you do. Too bad about the recession - Barbie might’ve made it up to 4 billion on the year.

Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle vacationing in Mexico

Although most people didn’t know that Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle had been dating until late last week, it turns out the two had already been spending quality time together. According to Us Weekly, this picture of the actress with the brothers was taken in Mexico back on November 9. This means Joe and Camilla were vacationing together just weeks after the breakup with Taylor Swift. (I guess life moves a lot more quickly when you’re a celebrity.)

Interestingly enough, it looks as if Jonas may have been seeking out Camilla months before they ever met. After the jump, you can see the 19-year-old reference Belle in a video made back in March.
