RPatz, what were you thinking letting something like that happen? Don’t you realize you could have banked millions by holding out for an E! wedding special? I guess now you’re stuck with the millions you’ve banked from doing the Twilight series. Speaking of, there’s only 18 days of pure torture to struggle through before Breaking Dawn comes out! Oh! Also, Robert, that’s not how weddings work. So don’t worry about it, kiddo. Post from: Crushable  |
| Posthumous Amy Winehouse LP To Be Released In December Posted: 31 Oct 2011 10:26 AM PDT When Amy Winehouse died unexpectedly earlier this year, she left behind a decent amount of unreleased material. According to MTV News, fans will be able to hear at least some of that material on a collection of unheard studio tracks called Lioness: Hidden Treasures that is scheduled to be released December 5. Put together by Winehouse’s friends and collaborators Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, the LP will feature alternate takes of previously released songs, as well as covers of The Shirelles‘ “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” Donny Hathaway‘s “A Song For You” (solo acoustic style), and Ruby & The Romantics‘ “Our Day Will Come.” Previously unheard songs will include “Like Smoke,” a duet with Nas Winehouse recorded in 2008, and “Between The Cheats,” which chronicles her troubled marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil. Winehouse was working on a new album on and off for two years before she died, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there turned out to be more albums where this one came from. Part of the proceeds from her posthumous album sales will go to The Amy Winehouse Foundation, the charity her family set up in her name to help people struggling with addiction.

| Halloween Horror Story: Celebrities Get Trapped In Plummeting Elevator Posted: 31 Oct 2011 10:23 AM PDT
Vulture has the story of how a bunch of drunk celebrities piled into an elevator and made the mistake of inviting more and more people on as the old elevator car creaked down the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City. Director David M. Rosenthal – whose movie Janie Jones is the reason they were at the hotel — talked about how their mistake was letting on a heavy guy and his girlfriend to their impromptu elevator party:
They dropped about eight stories; the doors were still partially opened, so they could see the floors whizzing by. Thankfully, the emergency brake deployed, but they were stuck sort of underneath the second floor. That’s when everyone started to panic and yell at the hotel staff for not being there quickly enough to help. Conveniently forgetting that it was their own drunken decision to overload an ancient elevator, let’s not forget. At least Late Night with Jimmy Fallon‘s Seth Herzog was cracking jokes: ”So, who are we going to eat first?” and not wanting to die in an elevator of people more famous than he is. Like I said, everything went well and Josh Charles gave the hotel staff a tongue lashing. Celebrities win over the little people once again. The funniest part? One of the guys, upon stepping into the elevator, joked, “This is overloaded. We might die tonight.” Have the Final Destination movies taught you nothing about mocking Death?

| Kendall Jenner Gets An Entire E! Special Devoted To Her Sweet 16 Posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:58 AM PDT
The latest way that Kris is promoting her two daughters with Bruce Jenner – aside from their modeling contracts and appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians – is to throw Kendall a huge party and have E! air it (and also pay for it?). She’s even roped Kim into the planning; last week Kim tweeted that they were scouting locations for the party. Seeing as Kendall’s birthday is November 3, they don’t have much time. As for entertainment, rumor has it that Kris has approached Kanye West and/or Nicki Minaj to perform. Kanye’s already had a cameo on Kourtney and Kim Take New York, so maybe he’d be amenable to the idea. What’s ironic is that Kendall seems really down-to-earth. Sure, she’s a model, and there was that soul-crushing moment on the first season of Keeping Up when Kendall and her sister Kylie played around on the stripper pole. But scrolling through her Twitter, she doesn’t seem bratty or even that foulmouthed. The photo she tweeted doesn’t seem like a kid who is expecting a lavish million-dollar celebration. Can we expect an E! special for every occurrence in the Kardashian-Jenner clan now? Rob Finally Loses the Weight! Bruce Still Looks Like A Lesbian! Kim Gets Divorced! (Yeah, that one’s actually happening.) At the very least, we’ll get another sweet 16 special: Kylie’s already 14. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries Are Divorcing Posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:25 AM PDT
Rumors have been circulating about the couple’s unhappiness practically since the day they got hitched. They’d begun spending more and more time apart, and last week the story broke that E! may have held a casting session of sorts to track down a professional basketball player for Kim to date right before she met Kris. People (goofballs) were calling Kim and Kris’ ceremony, “America’s royal wedding,” which is very sad and makes it all to fitting that they’re already splitting up. Apparently, Kim has hired superlawyer Laura Wasser to handle the divorce proceedings — which the couple will go through with instead of simply getting the short marriage annulled. The two had a pre-nup, naturally. The dissolution of a fake marriage shouldn’t surprise anyone, but it’s rather alarming that they couldn’t even keep up the charade for more than two months. Romance is dead, you guys, it’s dead. (via TMZ) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Signs Of The End Times: There Was An Academic Conference On Jersey Shore Studies Posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:47 AM PDT Snooki may have read an unbelievably low number of books in her life, but that hasn’t stopped bookish people from taking an interest in her. On the contrary, her and her seaside cohorts’ seeming lack of any traditionally recognized kind of intelligence only spurs those eggheads on harder to study them like so many orange bugs under a microscope. Hence, it should come as no surprise that the University of Chicago held the first ever conference on Jersey Shore studies this past Friday, and it was well-attended. In addition to your garden variety cultural studies professors, speakers included Gawker‘s Brian Moylan and writers from The Onion A.V. Club, and topics included “The Guido Pose and Italian American Identity,” The Jersey Shore (and reality TV in general) as refutation of Marxist labor theory, and “Bodily Discipline: Foucault + Snooki = BFF.” If this sounds to you like something out of a Don DeLillo book, you’re not alone. Personally, as someone who “studies” this stuff every day for a living, I have to say there are limitations to the amount of meaning one can reasonably claim to have extracted from this subject matter, should one wish to be taken seriously. In fact, it’s this very disconnect between The Jersey Shore and any kind of organized thought that drives the humor in Crushable’s own Jersey Shore Field Notes. It’s funny because you’re not actually supposed to take field notes on the goddamn Jersey Shore. Then again, this type of condescending application of academic principles to people who don’t know what those are can be super fun, in kind of a mean way, so I totally get where they’re coming from.

| Dina Manzo Says That Teresa Giudice Is Not The Reason She Left The Real Housewives Of New Jersey Posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:08 AM PDT
It turns out that there’s no bad blood between Teresa and Dina, or so she wants us to believe. Dina published a huge post to her personal site — but note that it’s on the Press page — detailing everything that went down. She wants us to know that she’s been offered “A SERIOUS amount of money to sell this to many outlets BUT I chose to do it for free here.” It’s a bit of a rambling post, so here are the highlights. Project Ladybug became a bigger priority. As Dina said, suddenly all the bickering and one-upmanship seemed much less important than the families losing their children to cancer. She’s having issues with her family, but that’s none of your business. At the reunion, Dina’s sister Caroline Manzo said that they’re not currently in touch, partly because Dina is still in touch with Teresa. (More on that below.) Dina corroborated that there are some hurt feelings but refuses to go into detail because “I have no desire to rehash the past that can only hurt my parents whom I adore.” She also explained that in a family as huge as theirs (11 kids!), “there are some of us that just gravitate towards one another because we are more alike, that doesn't mean we hate the others.” Meanwhile, Caroline says that she talks to only 8 of her 10 siblings. Dina doesn’t have a reason to hate Teresa. Because she was estranged from Caroline, Dina didn’t know about the rift between her and Teresa until Teresa showed up on her doorstep in tears. Even after Teresa complained about Caroline and (Dina’s sister-in-law) Jacqueline Laurita ganging up on her, Dina decided that it wasn’t enough to turn against Teresa. It’s unclear if she’s actually watched the show and realized how Teresa’s become season 3′s villain, but we have to remember that Dina is baby Audriana‘s godmother. It also helps that Teresa is plugging Project Ladybug on Celebrity Apprentice this season. Dina says that the fight between Teresa and Caroline is from Teresa including mean jokes in her cookbook (“Caroline is about as Italian as Olive Garden,” etc.) but that it’s not enough to ruin their fifteen-year friendship. Dina points out that she herself has poked fun at Teresa’s inability to say normal words on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Aren’t you so glad that that’s all cleared up? And now we remember who Dina is aside from Caroline’s pretty sister who left the show. Honestly, I wish she hadn’t left: She sounds like the most levelheaded of the group. But that’s probably why she scooted. I’ll leave you with this bit of unexpected positivity:
At least we get Dina back on Dina’s Party, where she throws lavish celebrations for other rich folk. Also vicarious, but in a way that hopefully won’t get any tables flipped. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Celebrity Lookalikes: Doug Hutchinson Dressed Up Like Courtney Stodden For Halloween Posted: 31 Oct 2011 08:34 AM PDT What’s that old saying, the couple that dresses in horrifyingly sexual little girl clothes together probably won’t stay together for that much longer because come on? 51-year-old creep Doug Hutchinson dressed up as his child bride Courtney Stodden for Halloween, and Courtney Stodden dressed up as, um, Courtney Stodden. Apparently, Courtney’s supposed to be costumed as a a sexy high school cheerleader even though her ensemble contains not one element that. Also, implying that Doug Hutchinson is Courtney’s sugar daddy feels a little disingenuous — does he actually have an income outside of the tabloid fodder he and his betrothed provide? Here’s another image of the scariest thing you’ll see this Halloween: (via Celebuzz) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |

| Taylor Swift Fights Celeb Jihad Over Alleged Nude Photos Posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:15 AM PDT
Taylor’s people are suing Celeb Jihad for trademark infringement, but so far the gossip site isn’t budging. In their latest post on the debacle, they offer a compromise: They’ll take down the photo if Taylor converts to Islam. Because she’s so immoral, right? The poor girl is the best role model tweens have right now. Ironically, she didn’t have any scandal related to her name until Celeb Jihad decided to attribute this photo to her.  I really don’t believe that this is Taylor. Her features are more elfin than this girl’s: Her eyes are smaller and her lips are a different shape. This is just a cheap ploy for attention. Interestingly, one of the first comments on the post was from someone going by the name Taylor Swift: On August 17, the person wrote, That's not me. Please don't post fake pictures of me and mislead my fans. It’s likely that this was just a fan having some fun impersonating the star s/he loves, but it would be interesting if it were Taylor trying to use the medium she knows best — social media — to fix things before bringing in the big guns. Celeb Jihad, go after a celebrity who deserves your ire, like Lindsay Lohan. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
I bet you didn’t think today could possibly yield news about a wedding even 
Remember that great scene in Final Destination 2 when the kids are trapped in an elevator and one of the girls gets decapitated? Now imagine the scene re-enacted with a bunch of lesser-known actors, like that guy from The Good Wife, and a less gruesome ending. That’s what happened to Josh Charles, Alessandro Nivola (Howl), and other partygoers at a movie premiere last week.
It would have been one thing if Kendall Jenner got a lavish sweet sixteen party; we’d expect no less considering her family’s wealth. We wouldn’t even be surprised if she appeared on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 (which is still on the air). But 
Is nothing sacred anymore? Can a professional famous person no longer cast her husband, marry him in an E!-sponsored televised ceremony, and live happily ever after in HD? 
It’s a bit too convenient that Dina Manzo, who’s remained mum on all of the current fracas on The Real Housewives of New Jersey (and why she left the show), has decided to suddenly speak out about her drama with Teresa Giudice. But that’s what you do when you have a new show to promote!
Back in August, gossip site Celeb Jihad posted what it claimed was
