Taylor Swift Embraces The Angst In New ‘Shake It Off’ Outtakes

by 26 mins ago

Have you had enough of “Shake it Off” in your life? No? OK, good. Glad I’m not alone there. Taylor Swift released the third episode of her “Outtakes” series and this time around we get to giggle at her modern dance technique.

The angst-driven dance segment takes a twist from the Awkward cheerleader hops and the “Mom and Dad” moves Tay busted out amidst her poised, professional ballet dancers.

Swift also reveals how exhausted she was while shooting the video, apparently, she could barely maintain her energy level between takes and was even nodding off during her breaks.

“There’s been so much cardio to, like, wear me out,” she said. “We do several takes of each full pass at the song, and the whole time I’m full-out and the dancers around me are all full-out and so we’re all pretty wiped out. And then they get to go home, and I move on to the next style of dance,” the singer says.

The modern dancers weren’t all about the angst though. Director Mark Romanek asks the group to try “expressing what you’re actually hearing” and absolute hilarity ensues:

Iggy Azalea Shut Down Sex Tape Rumors With An Incredible Series Of Tweets

by 17 mins ago

It’s time to put those rumors to bed and stop the media parade around Iggy Azalea‘s sex life. While it’s all fun and games to gawk at some throwback yearbook photos (I mean, really we’ve all been there), illegally prying into the private lives of celebrities is despicable behavior that needs to stop.

Iggy took to Twitter today to deny TMZ‘s allegations that Vivid Entertainment exec Steven Hirsch offered millions to the “Black Widow” rapper for an alleged tape featuring her and an ex-boyfriend.

But she didn’t just deny the allegations, she also reasserted that anyone who releases other people’s intimate moments against their will is a sex offender, end of story. Here’s her full response:

Instagram’s Richest Teen Is Currently In Jail And Not Feeling Very Lavish

by 27 mins ago

Param Sharma, aka itslavishbitch, has finally angered the wrong person. The self-proclaimed “rich kid” apparently ended up behind bars with a 90-day sentence for selling a stolen iPhone on Craigslist.

See, in California we have this law, specifically Penal Code 485 PC, that breaks the “finders keepers, losers weepers” mantra we all learned and lived by in our childhood years. It’s a pretty serious offense, and if you’re convicted of the misdemeanor you face up to one year in a county jail and a maximum $1,000 fine. That’s pretty steep.

Sharma’s lawyer, Andrew Shalaby, spoke with Buzzfeed to explain his client’s side of the story. Allegedly Sharma posted the iPhone on Craigslist as a favor for a friend who found the lost item and didn’t have the technological means to list it himself. The person who purchased the phone discovered it was tagged as a stolen item while trying to activate the device and later presented it to police.

Everything went downhill for “Lavish” from there. Police responded by arresting the pseudo-celeb at a restaurant on August 14 and placing him under $30,000 bail. He’s been in jail for 24 days, which explains why his normally prolific Instagram account had been dormant lately.

ABC News reports that Sharma was convicted on August 18 and he was sentenced to serve 90 days at Santa Rita Jail. In a strange turn of events, the teen was accidentally transferred to the jail’s psych ward and found himself trapped ...

Britney Spears Is Back In The Studio And We’re Crying Tears Of Joy

by 57 mins ago

The Queen is back in the studio!

Britney Spears shared a photo Thursday night (September 4) of herself sidled up to a recording mic, tossing out a signature peace sign and sporting an ear-to-ear grin. “Studio today! Yay!” the pop star wrote.

“Yay!” is probably the understatement of the year. It’s more like “OMFG YASSS BISH YASSS!” With the underperformance and lackluster reviews of Britney Jean, the “Work Bitch” singer is due for a musical resurgence.

As for the theme of the album? Well, a dirty-dog cheating boyfriend sounds like the perfect material for a fierce new anthem. Britney’s back to single and ready to mingle, addressing the infidelity at her Las Vegas show on Sunday (September 1).

“Well, by now everyone knows my boyfriend cheated on me. But the best part of breaking up,” the singer continued as she leaped forward toward the front of the stage, “is going on first dates. OMG, OMG, I need a hot guy. Where are the hot guys here tonight?”

Spears’ studio session comes perfectly timed for an end-of-residency celebration next year, when the Vegas performer will wrap up her stay at Planet Hollywood in February 2015. It’ll be a happy New Year after all!

Joan Rivers’ Funeral Wish List: Beyonce Hair, A Valentino Gown And Sobbing Meryl Streep

by 1 hour ago

Comedic legend Joan Rivers passed away today (September 4) after suffering from cardiac arrest and being placed into a medically induced coma.

As Hollywood sheds tears in remembrance of her fabulous presence and pioneering efforts in comedy, Rivers continues to be the quickest to the punchline with an over-the-top self-planned funeral service outlined in her 2013 book I Hate Everyone…Starting with Me.

As always, she had plenty of unforgettable quips—even when it came to the subject of death. How did Joan feel about funerals? She absolutely “loves” them, calling the mournful event a “red carpet show for dead people.”

“It’s a chance for mourners from all walks of life to accessorize basic black,” Rivers joked. “And to make a fashion statement that is bold enough to draw attention away from the bereaved, but subtle enough so that no one knows that it’s happening. And, it’s a great way to have quiet fun.”

The fashionista also laid out exactly how she wished to be celebrated in death, from the dining options all the way to the entertainment. Here’s the rundown:

“When I die (and yes, Melissa, that day will come; and yes, Melissa, everything’s in your name), I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action…”

“I want Craft services…”

“I want paparazzi…”

“And I want publicists making a scene!”

“I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don’t want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in ...

‘Sesame Street’ Can’t Even Handle 1D, And Neither Can One Direction

by 27 mins ago

There’s a riot in the clean streets of Sesame Place. Girls are pulling their hair out, stampeding businesses and charging through the streets… all in the name of 1D!

Turn your speakers down as you watch these muppets and your five favorite guys go absolutely gaga for their favorite number and letter… 1 and D.

I totally get it. I mean, who doesn’t love the number 1? It’s NUMBER ONE! Its inherent greatness is built right into the number line. And the letter D? Well, the letter D happens to be a part of my last name. Also, D is for Dog, and dogs are the best creatures on earth. Win, and win.

Harry, Niall, Liam, Zayne and Louis taped with “Sesame Street” way at the beginning of 2014, but we’ve been enjoying their visit ever since — first they declared what really makes “U” beautiful and then they made the ABCs adorable with Bert.

Everything You Need To Know About Kim Kardashian’s Waist-Shaper

by 7 mins ago

In her continuing efforts to slim down, Kim Kardashian West has discovered a new gym trick, and she shared a photo of it on Thursday afternoon (August 21). The reality superstar famed for her curves revealed she’s now employing the “waist shaping” method, which typically involves wearing a body-restricting corset for several hours a day.

Kim updated her Instagram rocking a white tank, matching leggings and an impossibly tiny blue corset, with the caption “#hourglass #waisttraining #nophotoshopnecessary,” and a shout-out to Whats A Waist creator and CEO Premadonna.

Fans were quick to flock to Kim’s IG post, with many eager to buy the product and watch the inches melt away — “we need that waist trainer!” and “we were just talking about waist training!” were common sentiments.

This method is nothing new. Corsets have been used by women to shape and contour their bodies for centuries, but what may be overlooked are the possible health risks.

In a June interview with the Power 105.1 Breakfast Club, Premadonna joined the New York City radio hosts to tout the magic of her miracle product. When asked how it works, the Miami rapper and entrepreneur explained that the wearer doesn’t have to diet or work out and “[the garment] actually reconstructs the body. It makes you sweat and gives you that actual, hmm — like you’re working out. I can’t explain it.”

This controversial fad went mainstream last year when actress Jessica Alba revealed that she’d ...

Nearly every woman in pop royalty has now completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, from Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus, to Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift. And on Tuesday (August 19) Katy Perry joined in by throwing two giant buckets over her head… and didn’t even flinch.

In the (rather loud) Instagram video, Perry stands aboard a pirate ship in a black string bikini, while two shirtless beaus assist in the pouring of the buckets. Turn your speakers down (trust me) and watch it now:

The “This Is How We Do” singer used her nomination powers to call out one very special someone to take on the challenge: The Queen of Pop, herself, Madonna.
