Shanna & Travis Break, Blog & Battle Yet Again
Another chapter in the epic romance that is Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker can mean only one thing—yet another round of blog battles.
The on-again, off-again former MTV reality show couple divorced in 2004 but were spotted getting reacquainted just after the 33-year-old Blink-182 drummer's tragic plane crash in September. Now, they've called it quits yet again, Us magazine confirms.
The magazine alleges that the split followed a nasty argument regarding the October sighting of Moakler cozying up to 300 hottie Gerard Butler while Barker was still in the hospital.
"They did break up but Shanna never cheated on Travis while he was in the hospital," the former Playboy centerfold's rep tells the publication.
Despite her rep's claim that she's "tired of playing out their personal relationship in the press," Moakler lashed out on the situation on her MySpace blog.
Radiohead's Thom Yorke Schools Miley Cyrus & Kanye West on Humility
When Radiohead refused to meet Miley Cyrus and Kanye West at the Grammy Awards last month, the starlet threatened to "ruin" them and the rapper refused to stand for their performance. Now, the In Rainbows band is fighting back.
Cyrus kicked off the feudin' during an appearance on the Johnjay & Ray radio show and rambled on for more than six minutes about how the band dissed her after she begged her manager to set up an introduction.
"I'm like, these are the people I really want to meet," she said. "I'd freak out. They're my rock gods. These are the only people that I would cry over…My manager asked and said, 'Miley's really obsessed. And they were like, 'We don't really do that.' "
She continued on in disbelief about the Thom Yorke band's lack of interest in meeting the Hannah Montana, admitting she was so disappointed about the diss, she left the show early.
"I left 'cause I was so upset," she said. "I wasn't going to watch. Stinkin' Radiohead! I'm gonna ruin them, I'm going to tell everyone."
The three-time Grammy winners responded by putting the teen in her place…
Ricky Gervais Wants to Swap Out Paris
Ricky Gervais is no fan of Paris Hilton.
The British funnyman has taken to his blog and written a letter to President Barack Obama requesting an exchange that would move the heiress and Victoria Beckham to middle ground.
"As I'm sure you're aware, one of your flock has strayed," he writes. "A Miss Paris Hilton, who is, I believe, a resident of Beverley Hills, is in England doing a reality game show for ITV2 called Paris Hilton's British Best Friend. Fine. I have no problem with that. I don't have to watch. But now it has come to my attention that she has bought a house in North London a few miles from me, and is out and about ingratiating herself with the Great British public."
The Extras star then explains why this is a matter of international diplomacy requiring the president's immediate attention.
Ashlee Takes on a Weighty Subject: Jessica Simpson
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has a bone to pick with those who say her sister is looking a bit meatier than usual.
"I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight," Simpson wrote Tuesday on her website. "A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News."
Sure enough, Fox's website reported today that Jessica Simpson shocked fans Sunday at Radio 99.9 Kiss Country's Chili Cookoff in Pembroke Pines, Fla., with her "noticeably fuller figure" and had apparently "eased up on her fitness regimen a bit."
Hmmph, says Ashlee.
Kanye Blogs: No Bisexual Porn for Me!
One awards show stage Kanye West won't be storming anytime soon: The AVNs.
After catching wind of an outrageous—even for him—Internet report claiming that the rapper was "open to doing porn" and, in particular, "bisexual scenes," West has shot back on his blog, blasting the fake, hater-fueled interview and claiming that someone is trying to tamp down his greatness by hacking into his online accounts.
"Yoooo why won't you let me be great!!!" writes West. [Editor's note: We've translated to spare you his signature all-cap style.]
"I had the two greatest days of my life and when I get back...I read some s--t claiming I said I'm down to do porn and some bisexual porn!!!!!
"Please I beg you, give me a break!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me be great!!!"
Lindsay Blogs About Not Breaking Up
Lindsay Lohan has used her blog to do some important stuff, like support Obama and diss her dad. And now she's using it to deny that she and her frequent sparring partner, Samantha Ronson, have broken up.
In an entry titled "Rumors" and dated Monday, Lohan writes on her MySpace Celebrity blog:
"little piece of TRUE information...we did NOT break up!"
A source close to the actress told E! News today that the rumors weren't true, but the missive follows a statement she made to Life & Style denying the split after Access Hollywood, TMZ.com, and various celeb-gossip landing sites reported that the two were over.
"access hollywood, extra, et, every tabloid, page six... AND every GOSSIP website," Lohan continues. "Get your stories straight please. It's really annoying to have all of your friends emailing you saying, i saw, i read, etc... NOT TRUE
":) xoxox Lindsay"
Well, at least she's still in good enough humor to write "xoxox."
Katy Perry No Longer Kissing Travis McCoy
"Hot N Cold" singer Katy Perry's relationship with Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes is officially on ice. A source close to the couple has confirmed to E! News that the two called it quits just before New Years.
Perry, 24, who received her first Grammy nod for her smash hit "I Kissed a Girl," had been dating McCoy, 27, for about a year. The former couple hit the road together last summer for the Van's Warped tour and had recently returned from a vacation to Mexico for the holidays.
A New Year's Celeb Blog Log
We're less than 48 hours into the new year and, already, celebs from Alec Baldwin to Katy Perry to Courtney Love can't wait to blog it out.
A sampling:
• If you get dizzy easily or have ADD, we don't recommend you check out Love's 3,076-word post. It's a long and confusing ramble, beginning with a Kardashian dig, then talking about a "mortgage fraud sitiuation." She continues with a long list of names—including Kelly Ripa and Axl Rose—followed by a random list of addresses.
About halfway through, she says, "Now for the record I havent taken a narcotic or had any alchohol for npw over five years. if you want to call me eccentric or a witch bitch whatever you can I have never had any aspicartions that anyone 'love' me."
The rockstress concludes by saying she's become "an adept forensic…, but after all, f*** off let's rock."
• Alec Baldwin manages to maintain a bit more cohesion as he describes his three wishes for 2009. They include giving Slumdog Millionaire an Oscar, putting continued pressure on Detroit to "manufacture and market fuel-efficient technology" and stopping the SAG strike. He also wishes his mom a Happy New Year and mentions that she's recovering from surgery.
• Katy Perry, whose countdown fete had an audience of 5,000, tells fans, "I hope you make your dreams come true this year," underneath an illustration of a unicorn pooping Lucky Charms marshmallows. Yum.
• Hills hottie Audrina Patridge lists her "five" resolutions, including learning a foreign language and reading "at least one new book a month," but, strangely enough, we count six. Too bad one of them isn't to learn to count.
• Moby admits to spending Wednesday evening DJing a rave, but points out that it's not really the New Year to "the vast majority of people on the planet." While he ends on a hopeful not, we have to ask—who's the "Debbie Downer" now?
Dupri Still Janet's Boyfriend, But Not Her Baby Daddy
The nonfather has spoken.
Jermaine Dupri has taken to his punctuation-eschewing blog to deny rumors that he and longtime love Janet Jackson have broken up and that the pop diva is pregnant, as she was so labeled by a recent magazine cover.
"As you all know Janet is a very private person the only reason you see her as much as you do on my YouTube vlog is because of me LOL," Dupri wrote (in all caps, incidentally).
"But I hear yall and your questions. So hear [sic] you have it… No she is not pregnant and yes we're still together."
Rumors arose that Miss Jackson was expecting after she was forced to miss nearly a dozen dates on her Rock Witchu tour due to, according to her camp, migraine-induced vertigo. Then the lack of Dupri sightings while Jackson was recuperating further hinted at the possibility of a breakup.
A chain reaction that Dupri is apparently familiar with.
"It baffles me how yall let these blog and magazines control your lives [sic]," he continued.
"That's why I created Global14.com so when ever hear s--t about me you can come right here and get the truth."
Pete Wentz Blogs: No Bronx Pics for Now
Yesterday, a Page Six item gave celebrity bloggers everywhere another reason to make fun of Pete and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz with its assertion that no celebrity mags wanted to buy baby pictures of little Bronx Mowgli because "covers of them tend not to sell well."
Much like visionary celebrity blogger Lindsay Lohan, the Fall Out Boy bassist knows a denial from his rep isn’t going to cut it, so he hopped on his blog Thursday night to set the record straight in post titled “Ring Ring, It’s the Truth Calling…”
So let's answer that call and hear what Truth has to say...
Lindsay Lohan Shows the "REAL me" in Blog
There's nothing like a Lindsay Lohan MySpace blog entry to brighten our day. It really doesn't have to be about anything, either.
Like yesterday, when she blogged that she was too tired to blog and then gave Britney a shout-out. It was just comforting to know that somewhere out there, Lohan is hunched over her computer jamming to B. Spears.
She then followed up yesterday's quickie post with today’s blog, in which she realizes how much power she wields with a MySpace blog...
Lindsay Comes Out for Obama, Gay Marriage
Lindsay Lohan has taken an eleventh-hour stand.
We don't know whether she's actually going to stand in line at the polls Tuesday (hey, she'll get free Starbucks afterward) or if she's a mail-it-in kind of gal, but we do know that she's going to vote, thanks to her latest blog entry endorsing the seeming man of the hour, Barack Obama, and voicing her discontent for Proposition 8, California's ballot measure to unlegalize gay marriage.
In a post titled "VOTE," she apologizes for not blogging for awhile, and then gives us her get-out-and-vote spiel:
"I cannot say how important it is for everyone to get out there and vote tomorrow... The future of our country depends on it. Just one vote can make such a difference... Vote—because your thoughts are worth it..VOTE—because YOU can make this country a better place...VOTE—because you can.
"PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She goes on to say "yea" for Obama, including a little smiley face emoticon with her endorsement, and no on Props 8 and 4, the latter of which would require a doctor, before performing an abortion on a minor, to notify the girl's parents at least 48 hours before doing the procedure.
Wow, we knew LiLo liked to blog...but who knew she was so up with the issues?
