I guess we’re supposed to be surprised by this ‘startling revelation.’ I mean, the show’s been falling apart at the seams for the past few years now, and the fact that they can’t nail down a judge in the months during auditions — and leading up to the show’s 10th year debut in January? So not surprising.

Jennifer Lopez, who was asked to be a part of the three-judge panel for this year’s format (Randy Jackson has stayed on and sources claim that Steven Tyler of Aerosmith has signed on, too), has made a departure from her affiliations with the show and ‘insiders’ claim that it has all to do with the fact that J. Lo is a giant-headed diva with a massive-assed set of demands to match:

“Her demands got out of hand,” says the source. “Fox had just had enough.”

‘Her demands got out of hand.’ Wow. In, what, a week and a half? That’s legendary. That’s epic. That’s the kind of stuff that made Ben Affleck go tanning for crying out loud.

Star claims to have the inside scoop on Jess’s love life and also says that she’s over the moon over her latest boyfriend, the sometimes-football playing Eric Johnson, so much that she bought her own engagement ring and claims that she’ll “take care” of Johnson if that’s what it comes down to.

Uh, girl? Why don’t you go and talk to Britney about this one? She had a pretty similar situation, where she started dated this douchey-sounding guy (lookin’ at you, K-Fug) and bought her own engagement ring ’cause the guy hadn’t really worked for awhile, and a few years later, two kids, a divorce, several mental breakdowns and lots of cheap nylon wigs later, Britney’s, uh, “back.” “Bitches.”

Truth? Lie? Somewhere in between? You decide.

Lady Gaga, take some freakin’ notes, will you? I’ve been saying this forever. The only way to come back after going crazy or releasing a song or music video that scares and offends half the world is by doing something digestible and mainstream to show that you can play both sides.

While MIA’s video for “XXXO” is being slammed by some for “looking cheap” or because musically we’ve heard her do better, I have to say that a breezy pop single accompanied by easy and fun to watch video is actually quite smart.

Forget the idea of constantly trying to top yourself, sometimes not topping yourself is the only way to show everyone that you’re working with something real.

If you’re smart, you’ve been watching Real Housewives of New Jersey this season. The drama’s been explosive and petty and delicious and all those things that make reality TV as addictive as it is.

If you’re sane, you’ve noticed that the villain on this season is actually not Danielle Staub, although she’s pretty awful too. Most of the screaming matches have been instigated by Kim G., neighbor of Jacqueline and BFF of Danielle. Kim G. saw her opportunity to get herself on the TV show that was making her peers so famous and she’s gone after it relentlessly, involving herself in as many relationships on the show as possible.

Last week’s episode featured Kim G. and Danielle finally going after each other. After Danielle intimated to Kim that she was planning on finding her birth mother, Kim relayed that news to one of the Manzo, who passed it on to Teresa, who blabbed it to who sounds like the nosiest eye brow plucker in the world. Through this beautician, Danielle’s daughter’s friend learned of Danielle’s search for her birth mom, and then she told Danielle’s daughter. Ugh. What a clusterfuck.

Danielle lost her mind over Kim’s blabbing and the two of them threw down in what was easily the most classless fight I’ve seen in some time. In fact, you should probably just watch it for yourself:

So that was mortifying for everyone involved and even several who weren’t, I’m sure.

I figured where things left off that Kim G. had smartened up and chosen to disassociate herself from Danielle, despite it meaning less screen time for her. After all, she’s not even a part of the cast. Then today I saw this.

It’s a story saying that Kim G. crashed Danielle’s birthday party over the weekend, totally uninvited, stood in front of the press line and took photos and generally acted like she had any business being there.

From HollywoodLife:

Right as Danielle was about to walk into her party, rival NJ Housewife Kim G., arrived with an entire entourage in tow — she wasn’t even invited!Danielle, who was simply trying to throw a party for her and her friends was blindsided and refused to walk in until Kim G., was escorted off the premises. It took a little while but Kim finally got into her black Bentley and sped off.

This would be a good time to remind you that Kim G. is a mother. There’s a woman out there who has children (college-aged, but still human beings she should feel responsible for not dragging through the mud), who crashed her enemy’s birthday party with an entourage until she was asked to leave.

What this sadly all traces back to is the average person’s desire for fame. Kim G. has no business being on television, and because she’s probably aware of that, she’s needed to humiliate herself and her family in order to keep herself off the editing room floor.

While I certainly can find plenty of negative truths about Danielle, she’s at least a paid cast member. Kim G.’s embarrassing herself for free. And that’s just sad. Real, real sad.

Just like it takes a certain kind of face to pull of a pixie cut, it also takes a certain kind of woman to pull off red hair. While Rihanna is clearly bold enough to rock red hair and lips at the same time, do you think this look is working for her?

To me, Rihanna’s constant style switch ups are reminiscent of a teenage girl’s willingness to experiment with her look and stand out. Personally, I find it endearing, but at a certain point you gotta ask why we never see the same Rihanna twice.

What do you think of this look? Is it working for RiRi or should she go back to her darker roots?
