Is this the END for The Kardashian Empire??????

Among all the latest Kardashian stories there’s been one major theme, and that is that the general public, not just the heavy gossip consumers like us, are sick of these bitches, particularly Kim, and are ready to see them go away permanently. We’ve all been saying this for some time, but it took a while for the tide to turn and it really has. Last night’s Entertainment Tonight asked if the Kardashian empire was crumbling, and it definitely seems to be. There are several petitions to take their shows off their air, the most active of which has over 100,000 signatures and an accompanying website, BoycottKim.com. The website is an amusing parody and brief commentary on the Karadashians, although the brands to boycott section is incomplete. That’s probably because it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the crap these people have slapped their name on.

Well advertisers are worried and wary of the Kardashians, according to ET, as is E!’s parent company, Comcast. ET claimed last night that they had a source that confirmed that “Comcast is concerned about the Kardashian franchise.” A journalist for Hollywood Reporter, Leslie Bruce, really summed things up during ET’s segment. She said “The Kardashian brand relies solely on it’s authenticity, and viewers really believing that they have a window into their life. Without that really what do the Kardashians have?”

What’s more is that the Kardashian sisters have a new book out called Dollhouse. It’s very thinly veiled fiction about their lives, with three sisters called Kamille, Kassidy, and Kyle who live in L.A. with their controlling mom and her new husband, a former professional baseball player. Their rich dad died a few years prior and now they’re hustling to keep up their luxurious lifestyle. The existence of this book just brings home how fake this family is and how much krap they’re trying to sell us without possessing any talent or a intelligence.

If you do a google news search on Kardashian, all the top results are about the petition to take them off their air. There’s also news that Kim ditched her best friend, Brittny Gastineau, shortly after she got married. Brittny’s mom told Radar that Brittny was concerned about Kim jumping into her marriage with Kris Humphries too fast. After Kim got married, she shut Brittny out. She also seems to have shut her husband out, and to have simultaneously slammed the door on all the easy money she was making. Narcissists aren’t very good at maintaining relationships after all.

BRACE YOURSELF FINALLY; Here’s Beyonce’s Wedding Gown!

She married her husband Jay-Z over three years ago in a lavish New York wedding which was shrouded in secrecy.
But now fans have been given a glimpse of Beyonce's extravagant wedding dress, which was made by her mother Tina, now 57.
The 30-year-old pop star, who is currently pregnant with the couple's first child, has released a new montage video of iconic moments, which included the moment she tried on her special white gown.
The singer is seen make-up free, trying on the plunging strapless creation with the aid of a friend.
Another image captures the gown's huge ruffled train in all of it's glory.

Beyonce and Jay-Z's April 2008 nuptials was a star-studded event with over 200 guests; including Beyonce Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, rappers Pharrell Williams and Kanye West, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and wife Gwyneth Paltrow all in attendance.
Janet Jackson and her record producer husband Jermaine Dupri, Usher, Wyclef Jean, Jennifer Hudson and Jamie Foxx also were also guests.

Jay-Z's mother Gloria and Beyonce's mother Tina, father Matthew and sister Solange were among family members that were also present.
The reception took place in a marquee, which was assembled on the terrace of Jay-Z's Tribeca penthouse.
It was reportedly decorated with a 60,000 white orchids imported from Thailand, which the couple splashed out a whopping $500,000 on.
Beyonce's just released montage video of iconic moments will feature on her new DVD Live At Roseland Elements.

Video: 

As well as her trying on her wedding gown, the footage features shots of Beyonce's childhood memories, her award trophies, her earliest days as a performer and hugging Michael Jackson.
As she addresses her fans in the opening of the clip before singing 'I Was Here', she says: 'It's taken a lot of hard work to get to where I am.
'I searched all around the world and found myself. You're my inspiration.

Meanwhile, the singer, who is expecting her first child in February, is showing no signs of slowing down during her pregnancy.

You've seen the outtakes. Now check out the rest of the pics plus highlights from her interview nside.....

Rocking a red Tom Ford jacket and dress (above), Janet Jackson posed on the Formula 1 race track for an interview for Harper's Bazaar that revealed intimate details of her life.

The normally shy diva revealed a few details about her love life saying, "I'm getting older and I feel more settled" when referring to her beau Wissam Al Mana.

Hmm...does that mean she may walk down the aisle again? Janet did say, "We have a bond, a deep connection." And it was cute that Wissam revealed a little something in the interview too saying, "I'm fortunate enough to be dating my dream woman."

She also talk about her weight struggles detailed in her True You book saying,
"I wanted to go back to the very beginning of what really created it and that took me to self-esteem issues in childhood."

And when discussing her brother Michael, she revealed that the freshness of his death is hard, but she is coming along.

"It was very difficult for me at the beginning - it was so raw. But now, I'm able to listen to Michael's music and watch his videos."

Janet looked fab in a green Tom Ford gown.

And simply stunning in this Zuhair Murad gown.

Fabulous!

Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin for MAC Viva Glam 2012 Kelly Rowland for Stylist Mag!

Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin star in the campaign for MAC Viva Glam 2012 in a colorful, energetic ad shot by David LaChapelle.

The photo features Nicki in a seductive pose atop a motorcycle rocking her signature pink and blonde wig, a skintight pink dress and funky neon makeup. Ricky Martin is every bit the rockstar stud with a white and black leather vest, gray tank, tattoos and jeans triumphantly holding a blown-up Pink Friday lipstick in his hands while showing off his muscular physique.

The ads debut in February 2012 along with Viva Glam product and all proceeds will support the MAC AIDS Fund.

Kelly Rowland is a press darling in the UK and recently she rocked a hot photoshoot and interesting interview for STYLIST Magazine.

You seem unusually well adjusted for such a global star. How have you bypassed the negative impact that fame sometimes brings?

Great friends and great surroundings. Growing up with my mom, Doris, Bey [Beyoncé], and Bey’s mother, Tina. If I came home with a big head, they’d tell me to get out the house – which has happened by the way. That’s what is so beautiful about the friendship of Destiny’s Child; honesty. To this day, I could wake up one morning and there’s this long text message from Bey or Michelle.

As a group, you’ve managed to sidestep any rumours of catfights…

Listen, you can’t preach about having female power, supporting each other and being a unit, if you’re not one. I remember one of the first solo projects Bey did, I was sitting there the whole video shoot supporting her. I was happy for my sister. Some of the public would love for me to hate her, but what’s the purpose? What’s to gain out of it? One of the things I’m most proud of in my life is the fact that we have maintained a sisterly bond.

Rather than being manufactured, it seemed you were always very much in control of everything from your music to your money...

Oh, yeah. I remember the first time we toured, I was like, “Wow, where did all these lights and the backdrop come from?” I was told, “Well, they came from your pocket. You’re paying for all of this.” So I started asking, “How many people are part of the tour crew? How many people do this or that? Do we actually need this?” I want to be smart. I’ve had a lot of money and I’ve had a little. I know what that feels like. I remember my mom struggling and I don’t want to be in that situation. I’m thankful to her job [live-in nanny] for showing me a different way. She worked for doctors, lawyers, people who worked in finance. I was like, “That’s a nice car. Woo, this is a great house. Wow, that woman smells good.” My mom had perfume but it came from  the drug store, not Neiman Marcus. But I also saw how hard her bosses worked to have those nice things. I saw the time they spent away from their children. I saw that when they came home, they were still working. I understood what kind of work ethic it took to be a success.

How important was it for you to achieve success as a solo artist?

I was very nervous to be honest. I think my nerves got the best of me for a long time. I’ve never really said that before. I released singles here and there, but it was never really anything that felt finished. I feel like I’ve only found my voice recently.

Your technical abilities as a singer are amazing. When you see other bands who have perhaps become famous purely because of looks or image, how do you feel?

I think there’s enough room for everybody. As long as everybody works hard and you have passion behind what you’re doing, then you can’t really knock anybody. What are you going to say? If you pay attention to what somebody else is doing then you could be missing out on something you could be doing yourself. To me, it’s like watching a sprinter. They’re looking straight ahead because if they look from side to side, they will fall and fail. It’s important to look straight ahead.

Have you ever encountered jealousy from other women?

I think you always experience it as a woman, but you kill it with kindness. I hate it. It’s just pathetic. As women, we have to realise what we bring to the table. What do you want to do for the world? How do you want to change it? And when you know that, you don’t have to compare yourself to anybody else. The world would be boring as hell if everybody looked alike, dressed alike, with the same body type.

Do you ever feel judged unfairly as a woman in business?

Well, no matter what I say or wear, if somebody wants to do business with me, great. If they don’t, I can’t be mad at them. I don’t take it personally. That’s quite a skill. I’m an emotional person but sometimes you’ve got to put that aside. Saying that, sometimes I am completely ridiculous. I’m a bit of a drama queen. I said to Louis [Walsh] the other day, “I have too much oestrogen. I wish I had just enough testosterone to help balance everything out.” He was like, “You’re crazy.” [Laughs]

Go Girl!

Katt Williams Questioned by Police Over Shoplifting at Best Buy & Lose custody of his Daughter?

Comedian Katt Williams is making headlines for yet another brush with the law. Katt and a female companion were questioned by police in Ohio Wednesday over an alleged shoplifting incident at a Best Buy. Authorities in Coleraine were called after someone who appeared to be a part of Katt’s entourage was seen taking items from the shelves. Katt and the woman he was with were not arrested after speaking with the cops, but a member of his crew was cited for a “minor misdemeanor.”

Katt has been involved in more than one incident involving police this year. He was arrested following an altercation with a tractor driver. Police were also called when Katt got into a shouting match with another man.


According to court docs, Crystal McGhee just won custody of their 8-year-old adopted daughter, Leanne. It's unclear if Katt and Crystal ever married.
What is clear, the judge awarded sole legal and physical custody to Crystal. The judge gave Katt visitation rights -- alternate weekends.
The judge also awarded Crystal visitation with 2 of Leanne's siblings. It's unclear if Katt has custody of Leanne's siblings but we do know he has 7 adopted kids.

Are Diddy and Cassie Done?

Diddy has never claimed Cassie Ventura as his official girl, it's just always been an unspoken fact ever since Diddy snaked Cassie from producer Ryan Leslie after Ryan brought Cassie to Bad Boy Records in 2005.

However, from the looks of things, Diddy and Cassie have been going through a very messy break up right up under our noses...

One month after Diddy's personal information got posted online [click here if you missed that] Cassie went public with claims that she was being impersonated by someone who was tricking ballers and entertainers using her Blackberry messenger pin [click here if you missed that]. Now Diddy's been spotted getting romantic with someone else. Coincidence?
I don't think so.

From Us
Cameron Diaz, 39, has reunited with Sean "Diddy" Combs, her off-and-on hookup since 2008, when Combs pursued her during Oscars week, a source tells Us Weekly.

"Since then, when she's single, she'll booty call him," adds another insider.
And now, they've gone public: Nuzzling in a booth at NYC's Catch on Oct. 24, the two were "inseparable -- they had their hands all over each other," an eyewitness tells Us.
Two weeks later, at a Nov. 11 lunch at Scarpetta in Beverly Hills, they were "making out, acting romantic," says a source. (Reps for both stars say Diaz and Combs, 42, are "just friends" and meeting to discuss a possible comedy film project.)
One hitch: Combs is still dating his model girlfriend of three years, Cassie, 25.

Says a friend, "Diddy's single whenever there's a better offer on the table!"

WOW..That was quick Zoe! She finds comfort  in the arms of a mystery man after breaking off engagement with long-term love

And it seems Zoe Saldana is finding comfort in the arms of a male friend.
The Avatar star, 34, was spotted leaving lavish Beverly Hills eatery The Ivy, holding hands with a handsome companion last night.
Zoe kept her head down as she was lead out of the establishment by the smartly dressed gentleman to the valet.
Earlier the actress attended the opening of the new Michael Kors boutique on Robertson Boulevard, for an evening hosted by Petra Flannery to benefit the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
She looked stunning in a fitted yellow shift dress paired with light brown strappy sandals and a snakeskin clutch.
Later as she left her dinner date, she had slipped on a stylish double breasted oversized blazer.

The actress, best known for her portrayal of a Na'Vi princess in the blockbuster Avatar, last week announced that she and her fiance, entrepreneur Britton, had called it quits after 11 years.
The pair 'have amicably separated after 11 years,' her representative said in a statement.
Stylish event: Earlier the actress attended the opening of the new Michael Kors boutique on Robertson Boulevard
Zoe and Britton, 36, revealed their engagement in June 2010.
At the time, the actress said that Britton was very supportive of her life in the Hollywood spotlight, and that she felt he was the only person who knew 'the real Zoe.'
The pair are also business partners, having co-founded a fashion industry website called My Fashion Date Base.

She had previously said of Britton: 'I feel like the partners that stay at home, they have their lives, but they’re the ones that are living with the real you.
'I think that they need to be recognised, every now and then, every 10 years, just come out in public - put him on the spot and just say thank you.
'He’s a very independent soul. He understands what I do, but this is not what he fell in love with and that’s what I love.'

Since starring in smash hit movie Avatar, she has been touted as one of Hollywood's biggest up and coming actresses but her last film, Colombiana, flopped at the box office.
Zoe admitted to having been left overwhelmed by her meteoric rise to fame and confessed that by the time she started making Colombiana she was physically and emotionally drained.
'The year after Avatar was just emotionally overwhelming. I was travelling all over the world, waking up in different time zones,' she said. 'Your body gets exhausted, and by the end of the year I just collapsed.'
The pressure took its toll when it came to starting work on Colombiana: 'I was in Paris training for Colombiana, sitting in my hotel room, and I couldn’t stop crying.'

Nevertheless, she added: 'We’re hoping to do Avatar 2 next year. James Cameron is working on the script now and I’ve missed playing Neytiri. I can’t wait.'

While the Star Trek star has yet to make a direct statement regarding the split, on Friday she tweeted, 'You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.’ – Buddha.'
Her rep also added: 'Saldana and Britton remain committed business partners as co-founders of fashion resource MyFDB.com. Respect of their privacy is appreciated during this time.'

'I'm definitely going to adopt - or have - a child. I've wanted to adopt since I was 17 or 18-years-old.' 

The 20-year anniversary of the death of her brother, Lance Owens, may have spurred on her motherly urges. She also revealed,

'I think the most important thing I've learned is to not stop living. 'I know for a fact that my brother would not want me to stay right there, stuck in that misery. 'If the person who you lost loved you like you loved them?
'There's no way they would not want you to live your life to the maximum, to appreciate it, to go for your dreams, go for your goals.'

Her next film, Joyful Noise with Dolly Parton and KeKe Palmer hits theaters everywhere on January 13, 2012.

Ewwwwwwww, Britney Spears Bitten by Fan

An over eager fan took a bite out of Britney Spear's leg at a concert in Brazil.

It seems one Britney Spears' fan took the 'Piece of Me' singer's lyrics way too seriously when he actually bit Britney on stage at her concert in Brazil!

As Britney performed her provocative 'Lace and Leather' at last night's (Nov. 15) Femme Fatale tour stop in Rio de Janeiro, she indulged in her customary on stage lap dance. During the racy performance, a lucky fan gets the honor of having the pop icon straddle and grind all up on him or her in front of the audience. During said regular lap dance routine, Brit has surprised fans, her boyfriend Jason Trawick, Joe Jonas and 'Jersey Shore's Pauly D with an erotic dance.

Video: 

But, it was a fan who surprised Britney during the dance this time around. As Britney slid down the stripper pole, she wrapped her legs around the seated young man, who then turned his head and took a bite out of Brit's calf!
Spears quickly jerked her legs away, jumping off the guy's shoulders and the pole before continuing the dance from behind him at a safe distance. The giddy fan laughed and smiled through his pink boa while dancing in his chair -- undoubtedly proud of his accomplishment.

It's a good thing the Femme Fatale wasn't fatally wounded!

AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
“Hawk & Animals”

Listen, I get that when you have kids your disposable time to put on reasonable clothes goes down the shitter, but I’m pretty confident after like 4 years you get some of that time back. Or you could always use the time it takes to have a pink mohawk and redirect that to dressing yourself. Just a thought.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!
