Seriously, how great is Khloe Kardashian as a blonde? Of course she doesn’t look bad as a brunette, but with her hair dyed darker, it just looks a bit off next to Kourtney and Kim. She has much lighter coloring than her sisters, and her features aren’t as obviously (or at all) Armenian either. The lighter blonde, or even red, just looks so, so good on her.

It seems like Khloe knows this, and she wants to go back to blonde! Tragically, her mother and also E! won’t allow it:

Khloe wants to dye her hair again, back to blonde this time, but Kris has said she can’t because filming ofKeeping Up With The Kardashians is going to begin right after New Year’s Eve.

“Khloe just wants to simply change her hair color, she has been leaning towards going blonde this time. She has wigs that she owns and when she dons the blonde locks, Lamar LOVES it. Lamar thinks his wife should be able to have her hair whatever color she wants. Practically every woman in Dallas is blonde, and Khloe just thinks it would be fun for her to do,” a family insider tells RadarOnline.com.

The rebellious Kardashian gal has even inquired if E! can legally dictate her hair color, and the answer is, yes!

“E! has a very strict contract with the entire family. Before any physical changes are made on any of the family members during times when the shows are shooting, they must be approved by the network. Executives at E! want Khloe to remain a brunette so that it doesn’t date the series when it reruns. The suits want all of the sisters to have a similar look because the girls are branded as sisters, and having one of them showing up on screen with hair a different color, throws that off, and they don’t want to alienate viewers,” the source says.

When I was 13, bless my heart, I wanted nothing more than to have black hair. I wanted my outer appearance to express the darkness within, and all I needed was seven damn dollars to express my anguish to my whole middle school. I saved my allowance for a couple of weeks, and then one fateful day, as I was walking around the K-Mart with my mother, I brought the subject up.

“No way,” my mom said. “There is no way that you’re dying your hair.”

I moped my way through the rest of the K-Mart trip, I threw a fit in the car ride home, and when we got home, I immediately headed for my bedroom where I blared Matchbox 20 through my headphones and read Cosmo because “Mom, please, I’m old enough to read it, I’m just curious, GOD!” My dreams were crushed, and I resigned myself to an 8th grade with gross old brown hair because I didn’t have a rebellious bone in my body.

Here’s the difference: I was 13 and ridiculous, and Khloe is a 27-year-old woman.

Please, Khloe. Get to Dallas and get out. Your hair is what you want it to be. Please know this.

I don’t want to be gross, but I actually threw up in my mouth just after I typed that headline. Like, I finished typing out “cute couple” and the next thing I knew, I had vomit inside of my mouth. Whether it’s from the thought of those lovebird assholes, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, or from the amount of discounted Christmas candy I’ve had today, we may never know.

But ok, for real, these crazy kids are kind of adorable, and I don’t get it. When they’re apart, they’re a couple of my least favorite celebrities: I’ve always thought, despite popular opinion, that Ryan has one of the biggest douchefaces known to man, and I don’t think I actually need to list any reasons for disliking Blake. But when their powers unite … I don’t hate it.

Especially if it involves cupcakes:

It was a crisp 35 degrees in Vancouver on December 20. So naturally, Blake Lively was all bundled up while picking out a birthday cake with her new boyfriend, Ryan Reynolds, for his dad at Original Cupcakes. But the Gossip Girl star really warmed up when the Canada native selected a few special treats just for her.

“The salesperson told them Jay-Z had come in a few days earlier and bought an eggnog cupcake for Beyonce,” a source tells Us, “So Ryan ordered six of them for Blake!”

That kind of simple romantic gesture is one way the actor, 35, has won over Blake after two months of dating. And sources say Lively, 24, is just as giving.

“She’s making an equal, is not greater, effort to make Ryan happy,” says one insider of the couple. Indeed, a caring girlfriend who whips up homemade dinners and prefers home-movie nights to premieres seems to be an ideal antidote for Reynolds after his rocky marriage to Scarlett Johansson.

“Scarlett treated Ryan badly, so he loves the comfort that Blake provides,” says the source. “It’s like, ‘You were on the cover of Vogue and you want to cook me dinner? Yes, please!’”

While in Vancouver, a Reynolds family dinner was on the itinerary, and a trip to the Granville Island Public Market, where Lively bonded with Reynolds’ mom, Tammy. “Blake and Ryan held hands and Tammy had her hand on Blake’s back as they walked around,” says an eyewitness. “They laughed all the way to the car – and Blake let Tammy have the front seat!”

The duo is making the most of their holiday time together – “They love to sit at home and cuddle,” adds the insider. “Those two are over-the-moon in love.”

See what I mean? Despite the ridiculous “Blake let Tammy have the front seat,” that sounds like an adorable little story, doesn’t it? Ryan buys Blake cupcakes and then they go home and cuddle. Beautiful. Plus, that little catty comment about how Scarlett Johansson treating Ryan badly is just icing on the cake. I love it.

What do you guys think? Are Blake and Ryan a cute little couple, or are they sickening with their gooey, sappy love?

I thought that maybe in February or something we’d hear about this divorce, but no, not quite. As the world and I have been saying all month, something has been off between Katy Perry and Russell Brand here lately (and I don’t just mean their wedding rings). It turns out that everyone was right, because news just broke that Russell has filed for divorce:

In the docs, filed in L.A., Brand cites “irreconcilable differences.” The two were married Oct. 23, 2010 in India.  They have no kids.

The divorce docs say there are “community property assets” — it’s a sign there might not be a prenup, or if there is one it doesn’t cover all of the earnings and other assets they accumulated.

The docs do not give a date the couple separated.

Russell has released a statement, claiming, “Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends.”

Russell proposed to Katy in India on New Year’s Eve 2009 — nearly two years ago … to the day.

Sources had told TMZ the couple was having problems, evidenced by the fact that they spent Christmas apart and neither was wearing a wedding ring.

Although it’s not 100%, based on what we now know it appears Brand may have blindsided Perry by filing the divorce petition.

Hey, since this is one of the least shocking divorces of all time, can we skip everything about how tragic it is when true love dies and move right along to the next stage? Which is, of course, who are these crazy kids going to hook up with next? Personally, I think Katy is going to take the time, and that she needs to take the time, to be single and crazy and wasted. Katy needs to party this one out. Meanwhile, do you think Russell will go back to his old ways and sleep with everyone? I’d like to think not. I hope, as I said yesterday, that Russell finds himself a nice, smart girl to settle down and have his babies like Katy had no interest in doing. Doesn’t that sound sweet?

Friends: let us pause for a moment of silence, collectively click “play” on this video, and watch a stirring tribute to the television shows that died this year. Then, while you are fumbling for your handkerchiefs, I will loose the doves.

Uh. Tell you the truth, I thought Friday Night Lights ended its run like two years ago. Oh, sure, I remember the outpouring of grief when it ended and everything. It’s just that I… misremember… it happening… in 2009ish. Oops.

I did kind of like Human Target. And when any iteration of Law & Order gets yanked, all humankind suffers the loss. Oof.

And then there’s Outsourced—it was canceled? Oh, thank God. I thought that show was pretty offensive, but mostly I was offended because it was terrible.

And some shows—like HBO’s Bored to Death, which I looo-ooooved—aren’t memorialized in this video at all! Hmph.

What other shows are missing from this video? What shows were unceremoniously murdered before their time? And most importantly, WHICH SHOWS WEREN’T CANCELED SOON ENOUGH? Meet me downstairs in the comments, where we will all eulogize together.

P.S. Stop the video short if you don’t want to see how Big Love ends. Seriously.

So, right. Nothing’s been confirmed, but Twitter’s blowing up all over the place, which is, I’m sure, exactly what Beyonce wants, and of course, whatever makes Beyonce happy sets us free, right? Or is that Christina Aguilera? I don’t know. Who cares. All I know is that there’s this alleged newborn floating around New York City right now bearing the name Tiana May Carter, and she’s masquerading as the offspring of Beyonce and Jay-Z.

And remember how Beyonce’s fetus had its own Twitter account? Has that still been a thing up until now? Yeah. I just checked and it is. It was even tweeting yesterday, talking about getting its hair and makeup did, leaking bits and pieces of information like “It’s getting close” and “looking like a slip ‘n slide in here,” which is way, way more information than I really needed to know about the environment of Beyonce’s surrogate’s vaginal canal, you know? Then you have the classy tweets like “I kick so hard mothaf@**$rs wanna fine me.” That’s cute babyspeak right there, guys. Lastly, this Twitter account only reinforces the fact that Beyonce is full of shit, rather than full of a baby. Check out this tweet here:

“Wait a minute. Hold the phone. I might be popping out earlier than February 2012. You’ll know soon. Very soon.”

Know when it was issued? December 5th. So, what then, does Beyonce have a way premature baby on her hands, or were the best OB’s in the country OFF by eight or more weeks when estimating the kid’s due date? I mean, does that even happen?

Finally. If you believe that Beyonce actually carried this child and birthed this child and (gasp!) breastfed this child, then I have a really great bridge to sell you and, conveniently enough, it’s located not all that far from B and her baby in Brooklyn.

This screengrab was taken of Rihanna‘s Twitter account yesterday, saying “I’ll always love u #1LOVE”:

And then here’s a tweet that came in just minutes later from Chris Brown‘s Twitter:

OK, to answer the question in the headline, “Are Rihanna and Chris Brown Tweeting Each Other Again?”, my answer is, frankly, “I don’t give a f-ck.” These two people are complete assholes (one a bit more than the other, but let’s not reopen that can of worms today), and I just don’t have it in me to be all “girl power” and “you go girl” all over Rihanna anymore. It’s just not there, and I’m not going to waste my time faking it. It’s like Ike and Tina Turner, only after Ike beat the ever-loving snot out of Tina, no one wanted to touch his grimy ass. Apparently times have changed, friends, and the in thing to do is maybe eat where you shit.

Tina Turner once said:

“It’s [the divorce was] not about leaving with money. You leave with knowledge. Inner strength. All the discipline I have to have now came from being with that man … I knew what I was doing, and I knew why, and I got out. You don’t step out and do what I did with my life if you don’t have some control there.”

You know, maybe Rihanna HAS gained control (though I somehow doubt it), and maybe she hasn’t (the likelier of the two choices). But the bottom line is that there’s a huge difference between being a big enough person to forgive someone for something so awful, and to continuously put your heart out there to let that other person know that, in addition to forgiving them, they also still have the same power over you that turned against you in the end anyway. It’s like, just because you love someone doesn’t mean that you *need* to be together.
