THE REAL:
Heidi Klum one step closer to world domination. Or, in simpler terms, has decided to come out with a fragrance. Sure, we won’t buy it, but still: Is there anything this former supermodel can’t do?
Kate Gosselin to Get an E! True Hollywood Story. Just in case her tell-all reality show “Jon and Kate Plus 8” hadn’t divulged all there is to know about her sordid life, the mom of eight will now be following the footsteps of hundreds of actual celebrities for an hour-long E! documentary.
Aaron Carter in Rehab. While it has taken him long enough to join the legions of rehab-bound child stars, the Current welcomes Aaron Carter home with open arms. Sure, it’s for “emotional and spiritual issues,” but we bet he still regrets covering “I Want Candy,” anyway.
THE RAUNCHY:
“Teen Moms” hate on Kim Kardashian after she criticizes MTV for romanticizing teenage pregnancy. “Teen Mom” star Amber Portwood’s biting reponse: “Last time I checked, Kim Kardashian had a sex tape floating around on the Internet.” Fellow “Teen Mom” Farrah Abraham retorted on her Twitter that, “Teen Mom is for preventing teen pregnancy. Ignorence=Denail”. Stay in school, kids, so you never misspell “ignorance” and “denial.”
“Skins” sponsors continue to drop. After its racy pilot episode, MTV’s “Skins” continues to lose advertiser support. Only a week after its debut, five sponsors, including Subway and Taco Bell, have already dropped the show. The British remake may attract viewers with its shameless depiction of sex, drugs and partying, but American advertisers just can’t handle the heat.
THE RUMORED:
Emma Roberts rubs interviewers the wrong way. Julia Robert’s niece Emma gave a bad impression on the reporters of Lainey Gossip, snapping at her publicist in front of them and almost refusing to do an interview. Luckily, all can be forgiven as long as she continues to provide classy, articulate quotes like, “I didn’t go to high school. But I was popular. I picked and choosed [sic] the people I hung out with.”
“Glee” actors hook up off screen. In another case of art imitating life (spoiler alert!), Naya Rivera (Santana) and Chord Overstreet (Sam) were seen cuddling and kissing at the former’s Las Vegas birthday party, only days after it was announced that their characters on the show would be dating. We wish them the best, but Overstreet better not let his eyes wander – Rivera reportedly keyed the car of former flame Mark Salling (Puck) after jealousy reared its ugly head.
