Justin Bieber’s Fans Freaked Out Because They Thought His New Photo Shoot Intentionally Made Him Look ‘Gay’

Posted: 10 Jan 2012 12:32 PM PST

Another day, another outlandish rumor started by passionate fans. The last few weeks we’ve seen Selena Gomez‘s fanbase rise up to protect her family during a tragic time, but the latest story is of Justin Bieber‘s followers defending the pop star’s honor in what turned out to be an imaginary battle.

Justin’s big interview with V magazine came out recently, and many of his “Beliebers” took exception to the fact that he looked… well, kinda effeminate in the photos. Combine his slim frame with the shredded clothing and crowns/Roman gladiatorial costumes they put him in — not to mention him leaning on a giant, colorful V — and it’s not too surprising that his fans complained about him looking like a hot lesbian.

But the complaints themselves were strangely vitriolic, mostly because his so-called fans were calling their idol “a Greek princess” and “a cross between Lady Gaga and a gay man.”

During all this, one group of fans decided that the whole thing was a conspiracy to make Justin look bad! Like, that there were evil overlords twirling their mustaches in an editing studio saying, “Hrmm, yes! We’ll Photoshop his skin to silky smoothness and enhance his pout so that everyone will think he’s gay!” (Side note: Being gay is not bad. Sad that I have to emphasize this.)

Not surprisingly, Justin didn’t respond to this fracas; his agent Scooter Braun stepped in instead. Scooter admonished one fan privately — though of course it’s now public — saying, he sees it. aint happy. Then he told the Twitterverse,

never let someone else’s drama and negativity break u. that is their issue not yours. You choose your own legacy. You know who you are.

so if someone is making u question yourself, your beauty, your self belief. think r they being honest or is that just their own BULLSHIT

I don’t think that the Beliebers were necessarily trying to make Justin feel badly about his (let’s face it) more effeminate looks. I think it’s more that they reacted so strongly to the whiff of a reputation-damaging rumor, because that’s still what being gay is in so many people’s minds: Unnatural, uncomfortable, and a death sentence for a straight person to be mistaken as such.

So, they acted out of concern but ended up just making themselves look prejudiced and panicky.

Here Are Some Pictures Of Demi Moore’s Alleged ‘New Boy Toy’

Posted: 10 Jan 2012 12:11 PM PST

Get ready for a lot of headlines comparing women over 30 to wild animals, and guys under 40 to the offspring of said wild animals!

Demi Moore is reportedly getting her rebound on with a well-muscled and hopefully polite young man after splitting with ex Ashton Kutcher under less than dignified circumstances. She was photographed in Hollywood this past weekend getting out of his S.U.V. and into her own, which can only mean one thing: scratchy, cougar-y car sex. Rowr!

Perez Hilton is saying that the young man in question is 23-year-old male model Blake Corl-Baietti, and other photos of him appear to visually confirm the ID. Here are some pictures of him doing “Blue Steel” in only his underwear:

Get it, girl.

The Daily WTF: Facebook App ‘If I Die’ Records Your Final Message

Posted: 10 Jan 2012 11:40 AM PST

I wholeheartedly agree with Nerve that this Facebook app If I Die is pretty morbid, but it’s also downright offensive. The actual idea behind it is well-meaning; as the instructional video shows, If I Die gives you the chance to record whatever you want your final message to be, and then to choose a friend to help distribute it after your death. That way, you have control over the last thing your loved ones hear from you, whether it’s a joke or some advice.

But the video itself is disgustingly glib; the posh British narrator jovially points out that while you may intend to lead a strong and healthy life, “Death is right around the corner.” It’s offensive to those who’ve lost family members, whether after a drawn-out illness or in an instantaneous tragedy—people who weren’t concerned with the petty matter of what their friend’s Facebook said.

Our generation is the first to encounter the odd in-between sensation of having our friends’ digital lives survive long after their deaths. So we are the right population to market this app to; there’s just a much more sensitive way of doing so. Despite our joking (a human coping mechanism), death is not the minor inconvenience this ad makes it sound like.

I still visit the profiles of a kid from my high school who shot himself in the head, or my boyfriend’s father who died unexpectedly in 2010, and read the messages of love posted there. Yes, their families would probably have been grateful to receive one final message before losing these people with no warning. But for their sake, don’t make a fucking joke out of dying.

I’m sure that I’m overreacting, due to personal experience. And I know that every person is guilty of cracking a joke about death; how else would we deal with the inevitable threat of our own demise? I just think the video could have been a tad more tactful.

Katy Perry Won’t Be Going To The People’s Choice Awards

Posted: 10 Jan 2012 11:28 AM PST

Anyone who was planning to tune into the People’s Choice Awards just to see if Katy Perry looks any different post-split, start making new Wednesday night plans. Katy revealed she wouldn’t be making it to tomorrow night’s ceremony yesterday through twitter, saying, “Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the People’s Choice Awards. I want to thank u all for voting for me, fingers crossed! #KATYCATS.”

Now the question is will her ex Russell Brand, who was kicked off the invite list so a chance meeting between the two wouldn’t get awkward, be re-invited? Without Katy going their isn’t any potential for conflict, and there should be at least half of the former couple to examine for signs of divorce-induced heart ache.

I can understand if Katy doesn’t want to be in front of a bunch of camera while she’s dealing with so much in her personal life, but I think she might be missing an opportunity to quiet the gossip around her divorce. Nothing says I’m over it like showing up to a party looking fantastic.

Amber Portwood Is Treating Her Jail Letters To Her Brother Like Old-Fashioned Twitter

Posted: 10 Jan 2012 10:48 AM PST

TMZ has obtained a copy of the latest letter that Teen Mom Amber Portwood sent her brother Shawn Portwood (or Bubby) from jail. In it, she talks about how rattled she is by jail standards — like writing with a flexible pen so she can’t use it as a shiv — and how she’ll never take her family or baby Leah for granted again. With Amber falling all over herself to declare her innocence and desire to be a better person, you have to wonder if she knew that her letter would make it on a gossip site.

In fact, I’m pretty sure that she planned for Shawn to release the letter to the media, especially because she closes it with Well I love you and tell all my supporters to write me for encouragement if they want. It seems like a bid for attention, and is a weird reversal since if she were still on Twitter, Amber would have hundreds of fans begging her to write them.

She’s basically treating these correspondences like Twitter, releasing details about jail — the flexible pen bit and the fact that she’s the only one in there for felony battery — as well as basically apologizing for the behavior that landed her there. I’m really scared I’m going to prison, I don’t know what to do, she writes. All I think about is Leah and how she needs a ro-model… I don’t want people thinking I’m this crazy bitch. I am a good person, and I pray that I can change my life! Interestingly, the section right after is blacked out; although she’s censored for language, it’s unclear what delicate information got edited out, either by the jail or TMZ.

You can decipher the rest of Amber’s handwriting at TMZ, but we’ve seen plenty. Back in December, Shawn took to his own blog to debunk the allegations as to how Amber broke her probation; he maintains that she never hit anyone and that she’s already amassed $40,000 in a college fund for Leah.

These two make a pretty good spin team.

Is Mark Wahlberg Really The Greatest Actor Of His Generation?

Posted: 10 Jan 2012 11:13 AM PST

There’s an article in The New York Times Magazine today that makes a disturbingly good case for Mark Wahlberg being the greatest actor of his generation. As it turns out, the same guy who once modeled Calvin Klein underwear and fronted Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch has turned in just as many Oscar-worthy performances as Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and more than either Leonardo DiCaprio or Matt Damon. Crazy!

This is assuming, of course, that a bad performance does not cancel out a good one, which it does. If we’re going by net Oscar-worthiness, I’m not sure if he remains in the running at all. Let’s say Wahlberg has six Oscar-worthiness points total: one each for Boogie Nights, I Heart Huckabees, Three Kings, The Fighter, The Departed, and The Yards. Those are some great films. However, there are also some deductions I’d like to make:

-One point off for 2001′s horrid re-make of Planet Of The Apes. You should know better, Mark Wahlberg.

-Two points off for The Happening.

-One point off for Max Payne, which is based on a video game and prominently features the lesser work of Marilyn Manson on its soundtrack.

-A million points off for appearing in Entourage. Come on, brah.

-No points off for this Youtube video, but it does undermine his credibility pretty effectively.

See? If you tally it this way, Mark Wahlberg does not actually have six potential Oscar nominations but negative one million and five, which is nowhere near the Oscarworthiness levels of Matt Damon, Leo, or Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Glad I cleared that up for you.

AnnaLynne McCord Accidentally Tweets Nip Slip At Fan

Posted: 10 Jan 2012 09:28 AM PST

Not two weeks into 2012, and we’ve already gotten our first accidental nude celebrity photo. (We’re making categories at this point.) 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord unintentionally emulated Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott when she tweeted a photo of herself wearing a necklace to a fan and failed to notice that she’d also included her nipple in the shot. Though why she would be wearing just a necklace is beyond us…

Last week, AnnaLynne tweeted this original photo at fashion blogger Megan Lujan with the message This is for you @meganraee You rock! Xxx A. Shortly thereafter, her fans caught the nip slip and frantically wrote her back; it didn’t take long for her to replace the photo, but of course by then multiple copies had been downloaded.

However, AnnaLynne ultimately made light of the situation; when one of her fans joked that she’d meant to send it to him, she tweeted, @ianstenning @@IAMannalynnemcc @@Meganraee Hahaha! Megan, you feel like sharing? Very funny I actually LOL-ed xxxA

After all, we first met this girl when she played the underage temptress Eden Lord on Ryan Murphy‘s raunchy show Nip/Tuck; and even on 90210, she’s often in a barely-there bikini. Good for her for owning up to the pic and then dismissing it before it became some overblown scandal.
