Jon Gosselin Dropped From TLC Reality Series
After months of scandals and controversies, TLC has finally made the decision to drop Jon Gosselin from their reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8, which has been on the air for nearly three years now. A source close to the show has said: “Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on."The show, as of November 2009 will change its title to simply Kate Plus 8 and the series will focus on Kate as a single mother.
Ironically, today Jon also made an announcement - his plans of stopping the divorce and his wish to work things out with Kate. He said, “Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That’s why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family — not destroy it…I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated [on June 22]. I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon.”
Ohhh the drama. Poor kids, they're the only true victims on all this crap.
The Hills? Definitely Fake
... but we all knew that already. Kristin Cavallari who is taking over Lauren Conrad's place on The Hills admitted to the LA Times that the show is fake. Check out some highlights from her interview below.On the producers:
"I pretty much do anything they have me do because I don't care. I mean, we're filming a TV show. Let's make it interesting. Let's have a good time with it."
On Laguna Beach and hating the way she was made out to be the villain:
"I almost felt like it was unfair for [MTV] to come into our lives at such a young age and sort of mess with things. I don't regret it, but I was 17 — of course I wanted to be on TV. I felt like they should have been a little bit more careful with us."
On showing up to work at "pre-selected" locations Wednesday through Friday:
"They tell us what to talk about. Listen, I have fun with it. They film Curb Your Enthusiasm the same way."
On her reality:
"The thing is, if this was a reality show about my life, they would follow me going to auditions and studying with acting coaches, but they didn't want to show that because it's not glamorous. They make it seem like we have perfect lives and like we have all this money."
On The Hills' "reality:"
"Everyone is trying to get story lines and create drama in their lives. It's just so…fake. There's no truth to it. At all."

Karina Smirnoff for PETA
Dancing With the Stars beauty Karina Smirnoff wants all her fans to know that there's nothing sexy about wearing fur. In fact, she'd rather dance naked, which is exactly what she does in her racy PETA ad.A reformed fur-wearer, Karina says she stopped wearing fur after learning about what happens to animals who are killed for their skins. "I did wear fur, especially when I was little. But there are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel."
Each year, millions of foxes, minks, raccoons, chinchillas, rabbits, and other animals—including dogs and cats—are bludgeoned, strangled, drowned, and electrocuted so their fur can be made into so-called "luxury items." Many of these animals are even skinned alive for fashion.
Says Karina, "You have a choice as an individual, you have a choice in the press, in the world, whether to make a statement that you do support killing animals or make a statement when you don't. And you can still be as chic as you can possibly want to be."

Peace Concert Brings 1.1 Million Cubans Together
Colombian singer Juanes -- a 17-time Latin Grammy winner -- brought 15 international artists to Havana (Cuba) for Sunday's "Peace without Borders" concert. All of the artists wore white as a symbol of peace."I can't believe what my eyes are seeing," Juanes said on stage, describing the sea of people as a "beautiful dream." - Concert officials said an estimate of 1.15 million Cubans attended
the Peace without Borders event, more than half of what was expected and a new record crowd ever for an event staged at the Revolution Plaza in Havana.Sunday's event was Juanes' attempt to connect isolated Cubans with the rest of the region, including the United States. The decades-old U.S. embargo on Cuba is the most visible manifestation of the communist country's political isolation.
The crowd cheered when Juanes said, "We are all brothers, and we all have to be connected."
Cubans seemed delighted by their first chance in decades to hear international top-caliber Latin stars. - CNN.com
Wow. Congrats to him, this concert was a huge success! Making history.

adamlambert: Kanye needs to chill. He freaks out every year. It ain't that deep man.
JoelMadden: WOW Taylor Swift's first VMA and she didn't even get to ENJOY it. Kanye You were just a bully on that one man.
therealpickler:Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls bitch! don't mess w/my lil sis!!
Those are twitter quotes, Kelly Clarkson decided to write a whole blog:
Dear Kanye,
What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??
I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.
On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!
Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl! - KC

Best Damn Blog's Review of the 2009 MTV VMAs
Ah, I don't know about anyone else but this is the first VMAs I have enjoyed from beginning to end in a VERY long time. I'd dare to say maybe since 2003 or 2004.So to begin with, my take on what has everyone talking right now. Kanye West upstaging Taylor Swift.
Not only is he an arrogant cocky piece of shit, but now he's also disrespectful. Going up on stage, snatching Taylor's microphone away from her as she is giving her speech and saying Beyonce should have won instead was just unnecessary and rude. Taylor looked uncomfortable and that was just painful to watch. If he thought Beyonce would take that as a compliment, hell, he was wrong. I do admire Beyonce for giving Taylor Swift the stage to finish her speech once "Single Ladies" won Video of the Year. That showed major class, maybe Kanye can learn something from her. Damn, I hate that dude. I am glad he did not win any of his four nominations. He didn't deserve any of them. He did deserve all the boo-ing he got everytime his name was mentioned, for sure.
So now I must talk about Lady GaGa's awkward outfit choices. Yeah, it's no secret she's nuts when it comes to dressing herself. But today she just looked like a freak. She did not pull off any one of those outfits. I will say though that her performance of "Paparazzi" was fucking incredible. Blood and all. I loved it.
Taylor Swift's performance was nice, she pulled it off, must have been hard performing after Kanye ruined her moment. Loved Green Day's performance although I would've liked them to have started off with "21 Guns" ... it did win Best Rock Video afterall. Um... what else? Oh! Pink's performance was awesome!!! Doing those flips and jumps suspended that high up in the air and singing live doesn't look easy. But again, I would've liked to see her perfrom "Funhouse" instead of "Sober". No complains though, I did love the performance. Finally, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys in the end were terrific.
Yeah, this review is all over the place and now I'm going to talk about the opening act, and oh man, that gave me chills. The dancers were incredible and it was icing on the cake after Janet Jackson came out to sing "Scream" with Michael in the background. Amazing.
I'm probably forgetting some performances. I'll think of them later.
So, about the winners... I'll just say that I thought all the winners deserved their awards. Yeah Green Day, Lady GaGa and Beyonce walked away with three wins each - they were the night's big winners, but I liked that there was a variety of winners and not one specific winner walking away with all the trophies. Congrats to Beyonce, Lady GaGa, Taylor Swift and T.I. for winning Video of the Year, Best New Artist, Female Video of the Year and Male Video of the Year, respectively. Big bummer that Britney Spears wasn't there to pick up her award for Best Pop Video.
So anyway, there's a little summary of what I think. I must add, Pink and Shakira wearing the same dress was pretty hilarious. They both pulled it off nicely so no losers here. Thanks to those who took the time to read this mess of a review hahaha.
