Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina
Bobby Brown's 25th Birthday in New York
When I heard Whitney Houston was found dead last night, my first thought was that it was a rumor. We're constantly plagued with ridiculous celebrity death rumors started via Twitter and other social media, and I thought surely this was one. Sadly, it wasn't in her case.

Details of her death are still being pieced together, but according to TMZ, the singer was found apparently drowned in a bathtub in a room at a Beverly Hills hotel. The site reports that her stylist, hairdresser, and two bodyguards were in the room with her before the Clive Davis party. After she was in the bathroom for more than an hour, they got concerned that they hadn't heard from her and found her in the tub with her face underwater

Heartbreaking, and it's unfathomable that in the wake of such a tragedy, anyone would be low enough to start celebrity death rumors. But they have, with fury.

madonna at the super bowlPretty much the ONLY person on the Internet who didn't weigh in this week on M.I.A. throwing the bird during her performance with Madonna at the Super Bowl half-time show was Madonna herself. But that all changed Friday morning when the Material Girl herself candidly told Ryan Seacrest what she thought of the flip-off.

Guess what. Madonna wasn't happy. Here's what she said about it:

Paula Abdul’s Return to ‘X Factor’ Is Only a Matter of Time

Paula Abdul and Simon CowellIf you were deeply saddened by the news that Paula Abdul was let go from X Factor, a new interview with Simon Cowell might perk you up. In a rare moment of candid humility, Cowell actually admitted to Extra that he blames himself for having to let her go because he set unreasonable expectations for the show (remember him bragging about 20 million viewers?) and then had no choice but to fire her. Is your jaw on the floor, yet? Because wait ... there's more! He also said:

I would've liked to have kept [Paula]. She was very gracious, and I said that to her. She understands it's business; it's never personal.

Folks, I think it's pretty clear what's happening here, don't you?

Cynthia Nixon's 'Gay by Choice' Clarification Should Be Enough

Posted by Maressa Brown

cynthia nixonCynthia Nixon's comments last week that she's "gay by choice" caused a hell of a firestorm. It's not all that shocking that the actress was accused of being insensitive when she said in a New York Times interview, "For me, [homosexuality] is a choice. I understand that for many people it’s not, but for me it’s a choice, and you don’t get to define my gayness for me."

Ack! It was definitely one of those taboo quotes that would haunt the actress unless she did some damage control, so unsurprisingly, Nixon, who is currently appearing on Broadway in the play, Wit, has released a statement to The Advocate meant to clarify her previous remarks.

Demi Moore's 911 Call Makes Breakdown Sound Totally Terrifying (LISTEN)

demi moorePoor, poor Demi Moore. The details surrounding her breakdown just keep on comin' out and getting more and more graphic and horrific. The 911 call that was placed from Demi's home on Monday has been released, and it's downright bewildering, cringe-worthy, and, well, really frightening. Basically, it sounds like what we thought was just a little overdose or slight "seizure" seems like it could have actually been a full-blown brush with death. Ugh!

First off, let me warn you: The slightly over eight-minute call is a bit difficult to listen to ...

Of Course, Pat Sajak Was Drunk on 'Wheel of Fortune' (VIDEO)

pat sajakWould you like to buy a vowel? Sure, Pat, I'll take an "O" for "on the rocks, no salt." Yes, the puzzle of Pat Sajak's career as a game show host has at last been solved: He and letter-twirler Vanna White were pretty much completely wasted during those early Wheel of Fortune episodes.

Well, obviously. There's no way any sober individual could pull off a gig like that!

"Hey, you want to host a glitzy daytime TV show rewarding contestants with a minimal understanding of the alphabet by allowing their detached heads to float over a showcase of tacky '80s merchandise?"

Yeah, make mine a double.

Miley Cyrus' X-Rated Cake Photos Are Silly, Not Scandalous

Posted by Maressa Brown
on Jan 25, 2012 at 2:12 PM

Miley Cyrus and Liam HemsworthNewsflash: Miley Cyrus is now 19 years old. She's no longer starring on Disney TV shows or singing at Disney World as Hannah Montana. In the past year alone, she's made it clear she likes to party, has a dirty mouth on occasion, and enjoys smoking a popular, albeit illegal substance. So it really should come as no surprise that the entertainer was photographed in a provocative pose with a huge penis cake presented to her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, for his birthday last weekend.

Yes, you read that right. Former Disney star + phallic dessert = SHOCKER! Oh, yeah, and she also was said to be "drinking alcohol and partying all night." Hellooooo, Captain Obvious.

Demi Lovato's 'Twitter Break' Leaves Her Fans High & Dry

demi lovatoSome celebs treat Twitter like their personal playground for verbal diarrhea. Others think spewing mindless tweets will catapult them from obscurity to the A-list. But there are those who really have something of note to say from time to time, and Disney actress-turned-pop star Demi Lovato is that kind of celeb. Well, I should say, was that kind of celeb, because apparently, as of today, she's quitting Twitter -- at least for a little bit.

On Saturday, Lovato tweeted, "Twitter break. It's for the best actually. Who allows me to have this thing anyways?!!! I just get myself in trouble. Anyway...BYE!" The only real clue we have to why she made the decision to take her fingers off the "tweet" button is the tweet she sent prior that said, "Can't please everyone." Huh. Good for her, and she tweeted like the outspoken celeb she has always tended to be. But that's all the more reason why her tweets will be missed!

‘O.J. Simpson Is Khloe Kardashian’s Real Dad’ Has to Be the Silliest Rumor Yet

Posted by Adriana Velez

national enquirer oj is khloe's dadI already thought the rumors that Khloe Kardashian is not actually Robert Kardashian's biological daughter were cruelly off-base. But we haven't even reached the top of the turd pile yet -- nope, the rag that reached that summit this week has to be the National Enquirer. They just ran a cover claiming that former Kardashian client, celebrity athlete, and alleged murderer O.J. Simpson is Khloe's real father!

I'll let that sink in a little bit, because I can't get Darth Vader's voice out of my head right now. "LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER." NOOOO! I know we're all used to the Enquirer making all sorts of specious claims, but this one takes the cow patty for pure ridiculousness -- which is more or less why even sister Kim was mocking it yesterday.
