Girl fight!
Two weeks ago Nikki Minaj and Mariah Carey were telling anyone who’d listen how lovely it was to be judging together. Then filming started and only two days in, the girl fights have begun. I’m not picking sides, and Carey doesn't strike me as a pillar of maturity, but the video TMZ posted just reiterates to me that Nikki Minaj is not only the most annoying person on the planet, but she’s also a little bitch. In the video Minaj is yelling at Carey, and being bleeped so you know she’s not saying nice things. TMZ has it transcribed on their site, as well, for your reading pleasure.

I'm sensing some jealous on Nicki Minaj's part.  A softer approach is advised, she might even learn something from  Mariah.

She spouts zingers such as, “Don’t tell me I'm insecure, don’t tell me I'm inadequate” and “Don't lose your head. Don't lose your head ... Don't tell me I'm a gangster," and, "I'm not f–––in' putting up with her f–––ing highness over there. Figure it the f––– out." You can also hear her say, “Think it’s a joke? Say one more disrespectful thing to me, if you say one more disrespectful thing to me -- off with your head!” and “I’m gonna knock you out”.

Sources have also reported that Minaj said, “If I had a gun, I’d shoot her”…no, you are not gangster at all…but that “death threat” is now being downplayed by AI producers and Minaj’s camp. It was not captured on the video.

Mariah’s retorts are barely audible but the transcriptions claim she was commenting, “Oh why, WHYYYY do I have a three year old sitting around me? And “I can’t see my kids, because you decided to have a little baby fit and go all around the stage.”

Her "kids" includes her bottom husband Nick Cannon

Ordinarily on-set in-fighting between judges might amuse me, but nothing Minaj does is amusing. Fingernails on a chalkboard would be preferable.

The best part about the video is that the most unganster of them all, Keith Urban is stuck in the middle with a bemused look on his face. Maybe he’ll write a song about it.

This is just the start of this blog, we've got inappropriate actions, celebrity eating disorders, tons of movie and TV news, movie openings, and the quote of the week all after the jump!




Busted

This is who we are talking about below, a horny country singer.

Jason Aldean is apologizing but is it for getting drunk and canoodling someone other than his wife, or getting caught? Pictures of him and Brittany Kerr (a Season 11 AI contestant) getting cozy at The Den in West Hollywood hit the internet and now they are both publicly apologizing. Aldean posted on his website, “The truth is that I screwed up. I had too much to drink, let the party get out of hand and acted inappropriately at a bar. I left alone, caught the bus to our next show and that's the end of the story. I ultimately ended up embarrassing my family and myself."                                                                                          


Do you think they made it to 2nd base?

Brittany’s statement is similar (why not jump on the media attention bandwagon), “The actions I portrayed recently were not a representation of my true character, but a lapse in judgment on my part.”

Aldean has been married to his high school sweetheart since 2001 and they have two daughters together.

Body Image
Lady Gaga, a master at reinventing herself, has done it again, but this time by getting back to basics. And when I say basics, I mean half-naked. Last week, she posted pictures of herself on her website “wearing nothing but a yellow bra and underwear, along with this caption: Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15. With the picture, she announced the launch of a new movement, A Body Revolution 2012, meant to encourage body acceptance.”

From this
Gaga and her mother started the Born This Way Foundation to stop bullying and embrace individuality, which gave her the inspiration for this movement. “This profile is an extension of that dream. Be brave and celebrate with us your perceived flaws, as society tells us. May we make our flaws famous, and thus redefine the heinous.”

According to sources, soon after the post went up, “fans began flooding the website with photos of themselves in their underwear and sharing their own personal struggles with body image issues.”

That same week, Katie Couric announced to her audience that she “wrestled with bulimia all through college and for two years after that.” Her guest that day was Demi Lovato, who has sought treatment for her eating disorder and cutting.
