  • Lea Michele: Getting Ready To Say Goodbye To “Glee”

    Lea Michele revealed at Friday night’s Glee Farewell Panel at PaleyFest that she will be singing the final song of the series.

    It is a tune written by Lea Michele’s Glee co-star Darren Criss called “This Time”.

    Lea Michele said that no other song that might have been chosen for her final goodbye “could have encapsulated the whole experience.”

    Lea Michele added, “That was the day I feel to my knees and cried. I got to say everything to everyone that I always (intended) to say but you can’t think of the words. And he wrote them.”

    Criss said of his song, “My main thing was to write a song for Lea. It’s not just my own vanity.”

    Glee!

    He added that the song is “a love note for the entire series.”

    Lea Michele’s highly anticipated final song is just the last link in the long chain of Lea’s goodbye process.

    As the show wrapped filming for the last season and the finale last month, Lea Michele took to social media to share her joy and heartbreak as Glee came to an end.

    Lea Michele expressed her appreciation for the incredible experience that put her name on the map and her foot in the door for so many other projects.

    Lea Michele also posted sweet pics of her last days assembled with the cast of Glee.

    Lea Michele then broke everyone’s heart as she posted a pic of her leaving one last time with late boyfriend Cory Monteith’s football jersey from the show.

    What an amazing ride for Lea Michele. The Glee finale will air March 20th. Will you be watching?

  • Jenny McCarthy: Why She Won’t Have Any More Kids

    Jenny McCarthy is happily married to Donnie Wahlberg.

    As a mother of an preteen son, Ethan, Jenny McCarthy is working on blending her son with Wahlberg’s two sons, Xavier and Elijah.

    It’s hard work, but Jenny McCarthy thinks it is a blessing to all of them.

    Jenny McCarthy said, “Integration is not easy for any family, so it took baby steps in some areas.”

    She added, “We talked about this last night. We said, ‘It’s funny how we can see how each child is a blessing for each other.’ Like Evan is so influenced by Elijah, Donnie’s son who’s his similar age. And what Elijah means to me in my life that I didn’t necessarily get from anybody before.”

    It's almost time to get #SingledOutAgain!

    She went on to say, “So if everyone can just realize that integration is for a reason and you look at it like blessings, it makes it so much easier to just accept what is and kind of go through those bumps and grinds with peace.”

    It seems like Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg have got this blended family thing figured out!

    But, will Jenny McCarthy be adding to their family anytime soon? Definitely not. In fact, she seems to be looking forward to a time when she and her husband can enjoy life alone together.

    Jenny McCarthy said, “When you work so hard and your kids are out of the diaper phase, out of the high chair and you get rid of all that stuff…to start over again? No way!”

    She added, “I want to go towards the light with my husband while we still can walk.”

    Oh, I’m sure Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg will be able to walk for a long time!

    Blended families are tough! What do you think about Jenny McCarthy’s decision not to add babies to the situation?

  • Eva Mendes Joins Instagram, Talks Therapy

    Eva Mendes Joins Instagram, Talks Therapy

    Eva Mendes finally joined Instagram on Thursday!

    As the gorgeous and fashion forward 41-year-old actress and mother of Ryan Gosling’s baby, we’re hoping Eva Mendes will fill her page with pictures.

    I mean who wouldn’t want to look at an Instagram full of great clothes, Ryan Gosling, and their cute baby girl, Esmeralda?

    Eva Mendes kicked off her Instagram by posting an adorable childhood picture of herself.

    She captioned it, “Taking to Instagram to keep you posted on my clothing line for @nyandcompany and CIRCA Beauty (@realcircabeauty), a cosmetics line I have coming out at Walgreens. I thought this picture might be a good way to start. 38 years later and still holding strong on the head wrap comeback. x”

    Eva Mendes may need therapy once she’s exposed to the nasty internet trolls who will undoubtedly tell her she’s ugly and worthless, but she’s covered.

    Eva Mendes already has regular therapy sessions.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfoLZYmazQM

    In the April issue of Women’s Health, Eva Mendes said, “Having [a therapist] who’s totally objective and who points out my patterns — I find that really helpful.”

    Eva Mendes doesn’t just lie on the couch and chatter, either. She said, “I’m lucky to work with someone who doesn’t just sit there and nod her head, you know? I need to hear what you think. Tell me what’s wrong with me so I can fix it.”

    That would be helpful for a lot of people, especially those like Eva Mendes, who are in the spotlight on a regular basis.

    What do you think about Eva Mendes’ new Instagram account?

  • Kim Cattrall Doesn’t Find Jamie Dornan Attractive. At All.

    Kim Cattrall is known for her sexy roles and her male counterparts.

    Kim Cattrall likes to oggle men, but apparently not Jamie Dornan.

    Not even a little. And he is apparently the reason that Kim Cattrall won’t ever see 50 Shades of Grey.

    Kim Cattrall told The Independent that he is not attractive to her.

    She said, “Maybe it’s my age, but he doesn’t look like a man to me. He looks like a young boy. I like men to look like men. I saw the preview and you know they say in three seconds you can tell if you find someone attractive or not? Well, I just thought, ‘no’.”

    She added, “Now, if he were Brendan Gleeson – well, there’s a little something going on there, you know, the twinkle in the eye… ”

    So, Kim Cattrall likes a different Irish boy.

    Brendan Gleeson is known for his roles in Edge of Tomorrow and Troy.

    Yep, must be her age.

    Kim Cattrall also seems to like the Irish pubs.

    She will return to Dublin this month for a screening of Sensitive Skin at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.

    She said of some of those Irish pubs, “We went to three or four at the [Tiger’s Tail] wrap party, but I had too much to drink to remember the names.”

    So I guess if you’re going to Ireland, Kim Cattrall can tell you the best men to look for, but don’t bother asking her to remember the names of the great pubs you should go to.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGoG5IrauXA

    What do you think about Kim Cattrall’s opinion of Jamie Dornan? Do you agree with her in her assessment of him?

    Would you rather have seen Brendan Gleeson in that role?

    I just don’t think there will be too many ladies who agree with her on that one.

  • Jennette McCurdy Decidedly NOT Feuding With Ariana Grande

    Jennette McCurdy is brushing off rumors of an epic feud with Ariana Grande.

    Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy obviously had some issues during their time working on their short-lived sitcom Sam & Cat.

    However, Jennette McCurdy says that it’s nothing that many people who work together don’t go through.

    “I just feel that, you know Ariana and I were and are extremely close and very like-minded in a lot of different ways and then, sorta as the show dissolved, everybody wanted to find some sort of hidden meaning in our relationship,” Jennette McCurdy said.

    Jennette McCurdy also insinuated that perhaps the drama was drummed up a little to sell news.

    Jennette McCurdy added, “Some like drama and I think we butted heads at times but in a very sisterly way. She knows me so well and I know her so well that I think it was unfortunate that things kind of got misconstrued.”

    Jennette McCurdy said that the long hours working together helped her and Ariana Grande forge a friendship that, despite the rumors, will last forever.

    She said, “There is certainly like a friend dynamic but then once you’re around that person for—I mean, Carly, Sam & Cat—once we didn’t have child labor laws we could work like 16 hours a day so you are around these people constantly and It’s just natural that you’re gonna have ups and downs.”

    A photo posted by Jennette McCurdy (@jennettemccurdy) on

    She added, “But you bond so much and you’re so close that you can’t go through that experience and…I can’t imagine a world where you would not come out extreme friends. I mean I have bonds with both Miranda Cosgrove and Ariana that are impenetrable.”

    What sweet words from Jennette McCurdy!

    Do you believe her or do you want to believe that there is still a feud brewing?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Boyfriend Nick Gordon Goes To Rehab Following Bizarre “Dr. Phil” Appearance

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is still fighting for her life in an Atlanta hospital, but her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, will be in a rehabilitation center.

    The center is a three-hour drive from Emory University Hospital, where Bobbi Kristina Brown is still in a medically-induced coma.

    Bobbi Kristina was found facedown in her bathtub on January 31st in an eerily similar situation as her late mother, Whitney Houston.

    Apparently, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s tragedy is just too much for Nick Gordon to handle.

    MerryChristmas 🙂

    On Wednesday’s episode of Dr. Phil, Nick Gordon’s appearance was billed as somewhat of an intervention, and it really went there fast.

    Nick Gordon’s mother was there to offer her support, and when Nick walked in and saw her there, he made sort of a bizarre apology.

    Rednesssssz

    A photo posted by Bobbi Kristina Houston'Gordon (@realbkristinahg) on

    He said, “Mom, I would never hurt anybody. I love people, I love babies, everything.”

    He also admitted to alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse, saying, “I have been drinking, I have been doing Xanax, and that’s it. I’ve been sober besides that.”

    However, Dr. Phil then played disturbing footage shot the evening before. That footage showed Gordon slumped over and falling off of a chair and he appeared unable to walk or speak clearly.

    Nick Gordon expressed concern that if Bobbi Kristina Brown woke up, he would be three hours away if he went to the rehab facility.

    He said, “What if Krissy calls my name and I can’t… it’s three hours away. My name will be the first she calls.”

    But, Dr. Phil said he would get a chopper in the air to reunite the two of them, if need be.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Aunt Leolah seems to think that if Nick Gordon’s name is mentioned by Bobbi Kristina Brown, it won’t be for good reasons.

    Post by Leolah PrayerWorks.

    She wrote on her Facebook page, “We have strong evidence of foul play. Until this investigation is completed by law enforcement, I would ask that you or anyone else not provide this individual a platform to spin this situation to his benefit.”

    She said of Dr. Phil, “If Nick Gordon does not have the courage to speak with my brother Bobby Brown and/or law enforcement about what happened the day my niece’s body was found in a bathtub, he does not deserve to have a platform to speak to anyone of your caliber until this investigation is concluded.”

    What do you think about Bobbi Kristina Brown’s aunt’s accusation that Nick Gordon is responsible for what happened to her?

  • Karina Smirnoff: Engagement Number Three Ends After Two Months

    Karina Smirnoff just isn’t very successful at getting down that aisle.

    The dancer has been engaged three times now, and has yet to marry someone!

    Karina Smirnoff was engaged to Jason Adelman, who reconnected with her at a party in December and proposed in January.

    Jason Adelman and Karina Smirnoff’s whirlwind romance is over almost before it began, and it’s time to start looking for fiance number four.

    Sources close to Karina Smirnoff’s former fiance said that Jason called the whole thing off because she has “different family values.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTqAgPLnOyc

    In other words, he doesn’t like the way Karina Smirnoff cozied up to other dancers. In fact, he reportedly holds the opinion that all dancers are sex-crazed people constantly on the hunt for a hookup.

    A rep for Karina Smirnoff says that assumption on Adelman’s part is “disrespectful and insulting to the entire dance community.”

    However, it does seem that Karina Smirnoff has had lots of dance…partners.

    Karina Smirnoff was once engaged to fellow DWTS dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy. And, she reportedly got hot and heavy with Mario Lopez.

    Still, that doesn’t mean Karina Smirnoff and her entire dance community is living for that hookup.

    Last month, Karina Smirnoff announced that she was leaving Dancing with the Stars to focus on other endeavors.

    Among other things, Karina Smirnoff listed being an author. Her book, We’re Just Not That Into You: Dating Disasters from the Trenches, has been a huge success.

    Perhaps that is because Karina Smirnoff has so much experience with dating.

    Karina Smirnoff listed several outrageous pick-up lines in her book. Maybe she can use some of them next time she goes out with her friends?

    Karina Smirnoff said some of them were, ‘“Can I get a picture of you? Because I want to show it to Santa and tell him what I want for Christmas”; “Do you know what my T-shirt is made of? Of boyfriend material,” and “Do you live in a cornfield? Because I am stalking you.”‘

    I bet Karina Smirnoff could make those work, don’t you?

  • Anna Duritskaya, Girlfriend Of Murdered Putin Critic, In Hiding And Fearing For Her Life

    Anna Duritskaya was standing right next to Russian opposition leader Boris Y. Nemtsov when he was gunned down just steps from the Kremlin.

    In fact, Anna Duritskaya and Nemtsov were walking home after a dinner out.

    Anna Duritskaya reportedly called her mother from the grisly scene.

    Her mother said, “She was crying and saying that Boris had been killed. I was shocked. I think I told her to wait for the police and to answer their questions.”

    State-run media have also been trying to lay the blame on everyone from terrorists to a rival love interest, and have even stated that Anna Duritskaya‘s “role” needs to be “clarified”.

    It has been revealed that Anna Duritskaya had an abortion in Switzerland, paid for by Nemtsov, and has been suggested, without any proof, that the couple may have fought recently.

    However, that abortion was a long time ago, in 2013 to be exact.

    Many citizens and others around the world are speculating that Vladimir Putin or his supporters may have had a hand in Boris Nemtsov’s murder.

    He was highly vocal in his opposition to Putin’s policies and his handling of the situation in Ukraine.

    He once said, “People are tired of corruption, tired of criminals, tired of Putin’s brutality and stupid remarks.”

    Nemtsov encouraged peaceful protests, saying that it would be what separates the people from Putin.

    But, the Kremlin denies that Nemtsov was worth killing, as a threat.

    “With all respect to Boris Nemtsov, he did not pose any threat in the political sphere… for the Russian authorities or for Vladimir Putin,” said a spokesman. “If we compare his popularity ratings with the government’s… Nemtsov was quite an average citizen.”

    Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko sees it a little differently, though. Nemtsov was a big influence on the people, and since he and Anna Duritskaya split their time between Moscow and her home country of Ukraine, Poroshenko thinks Nemtsov was killed for being a “bridge” between Moscow and Ukraine.

    There are some suspicious circumstances, like cameras being switched off just before the murder.

    Anna Duritskaya, after days of relentless interrogation, immediately went to her mother’s house in Ukraine where the two of them escaped secretly from under the watchful eye of the media.

    Anna Duritskaya remains in hiding as the smoke clears from her boyfriend’s murder.

    What are your thoughts on this spy novel-type situation involving Anna Duritskaya?

  • Giuliana Rancic: Kathy Griffith Says Joke Wouldn’t Have Caused Uproar If She Had Said It, But She Wouldn’t

    Giuliana Rancic is still dealing with some backlash from her comments about Zendaya’s dreadlocks at this year’s Oscars.

    In a moment of bad judgement, Giuliana Rancic stated that her dreadlocks probably smell like patchouli oil and weed.

    Giuliana Rancic apologized profusely, over social media and on-air, and Zendaya has accepted.

    However, that didn’t stop Kelly Osbourne from leaving the show soon after the controversy.

    Co-star Kathy Griffith says she doesn’t know if there is a reason beyond Giuliana Rancic’s comment for Kelly’s departure, but she did notice that she was upset a lot.

    “Jesus, I don’t know! Sometimes she seemed very upset at the merely seven tapings of Fashion Police we did together.”

    Now Kathy Griffith, new to Fashion Police this season, is weighing in on the scandal.

    She did confirm earlier reports that the joke was written ahead of time by a staff writer, and was not the original thought of Giuliana Rancic.

    She also said that the joke that caused Giuliana Rancic such grief wouldn’t have been that big of a deal if she had been the one to deliver it, but she never would have said it.

    “Probably not. But I wouldn’t have said the joke in the first place,” she said.

    Finally met one of my FAVE designers today in Sydney, Australia! Love wearing ur GORG dresses @alexperry007 #ASTRAs #STV20

    A photo posted by Giuliana Rancic (@giulianarancic) on

    Kathy said that her advice for Giuliana Rancic would be to just be herself on the show. And not listen to that guy anymore, obviously.

    She said, “Don’t have anyone write you jokes or even suggest jokes for you on Fashion Police. You have enough great insider gossip from actually being ON the red carpet. That’s what fans want to hear the next day. Just talk and be yourself.”

    What do you think about Kathy Griffith’s advice to Giuliana Rancic?

  • Jenelle Evans: Fiance Depressed Before His Arrest?

    Jenelle Evans: Fiance Depressed Before His Arrest?

    Jenelle Evans’ fiance, Nathan Griffith, was arrested last week on domestic violence charges.

    Griffith reportedly pinned Jenelle Evans against a toilet and forced her engagement ring off of her finger, leaving a cut.

    After police were called, he told them that Jenelle Evans was the violent one in their relationship and showed them scars. However, he declined to press charges and was arrested for his actions.

    Now, Nathan Griffith has taken to Twitter to talk a little bit about his struggle with depression.

    Could a downward spiral of depression be what caused him to act violently toward Jenelle Evans?

    1 year ago.

    A photo posted by Jenelle Evans (@j_evans8209) on

    After Jenelle Evans’ fiance posted this tweet, he got pretty much no sympathy.

    Commentors on his tweets showed no mercy as they told him that he only had himself to blame.

    One said, “I guess you should learn to think before you speak or react you created this mess now you have to deal with it I feel no pity.”

    Another said, in a long string of comments, “You are drowning because the life you are leading is extremely toxic. Wake the hell up. You are almost thirty years old. Take control of your life. Stop drinking. Stop going back to a toxic relationship. Get a job. Step the f**k up and take care of your kids. You are drowning because your soul can’t be a peace when your life is in constant turmoil. Being a real father to you children. That is what you need to do. Stop the chaos, Nathan. Seriously. You are going to wind up in prison or dead.”

    Another commentor mentioned his toxic relationship with Jenelle Evans, as well.

    What do you think?

    Judging from what you’ve seen Jenelle Evans drive her other boyfriends to, do you think she is making Nathan depressed? Or do you think he has his own set of issues?

  • Brandi Glanville Also Talking About BFF Kim Richards

    Brandi Glanville has been talking about her closest friend on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kim Richards.

    On last weeks episode, Lisa Rinna caught Kim Richards’ fire for expressing concern about her sobriety.

    In fact, Richards said, “I have been sober for three years, and my friends and family have never seen me like that. You have gone around to everyone and talked … asking where I’ve gone to treatment, if I had a sponsor … you want to bring up my stuff, let’s talk about your home life.”

    This hit a sensitive area for Rinna, and prompted her to eventually throw a glass of water on Richards, then break the glass on the table in an unusual fit of rage.

    Now, it turns out that Brandi Glanville has also been talking about Kim Richards’ sobriety.

    As Richards’ ally on the show, and a person that is not by any means rich in friends, Brandi Glanville is risking a serious tongue lashing from Richards, or even worse.

    In a sneak peek for the next episode, it seems Kyle Richards, Kim’s sister, finds out that Brandi Glanville has been discussing Kim’s sobriety with other cast members.

    All this discussion about Kim Richards’ sobriety started when she took a prescription pain killer before Eileen Davidson’s poker party that was not prescribed to her. As a result, Richards was noticeably out of it and slurring her words.

    Brandi Glanville, as well as all of the other castmates began questioning whether or not Kim Richards was holding on to her sobriety. Even though Kim has said repeatedly that it was a simple mistake in medication, the other girls obviously found it troubling.

    Will Brandi Glanville and Kim Richards be the next castmates to duke it out on the show after being friends for so long?

    Time will tell.

  • Brandi Glanville Turning On Kim Richards?

    Brandi Glanville has been singing the praises of her seeming BFF all season long on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    But, has Brandi Glanville begun to change her tune?

    The RHOBH star was outed on a sneak peek when Kyle Richards, Kim’s sister, discovers that Brandi Glanville has been talking about Kim behind her back.

    Uh oh.

    In a memorable episode last week, Lisa Rinna felt the wrath of Kim Richards after Rinna expressed concerns for Richard’s sobriety.

    Kim Richards swatted down her concerns, saying, “I have been sober for three years, and my friends and family have never seen me like that. You have gone around to everyone and talked … asking where I’ve gone to treatment, if I had a sponsor … you want to bring up my stuff, let’s talk about your home life.”

    She then insinuated that Lisa Rinna’s husband, Harry Hamlin, had a secret that he was hiding and threatened to tell on him.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb-hQllXM_s

    Now, it may be Brandi Glanville‘s turn to feel the hate come down from Kim Richards.

    But it may not matter much to Brandi Glanville. She has already expressed a desire to leave the show.

    Brandi Glanville said in her blog, “I’m giving serious thought to quitting Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills. It might be time to leave the party. I really have to think about my health – it’s such a mindf**k! At some point, it’s just not fun anymore. I have all the women against me – it’s too much.”

    Perhaps this could be the most explosive feud on the show yet, as Brandi Glanville will likely fight back a lot harder than Lisa Rinna did.

    Many fans of the show would be happy if Brandi Glanville left, but she said of the show’s future without her, “I’m actually very curious to see what they’ll do if they don’t have me to fight with. I’m wondering who will turn into the person they pick on. Or they’ll just sit around watching Lisa getting a puppy and Kyle go on vacation. That won’t be fun.”

    Brandi Glanville’s got a point! What do you think about the possibly explosive revelation that Brandi Glanville has been talking behind Kim Richards’ back?

  • Jennette McCurdy And Ariana Grande Butted Heads “In A Sisterly Way”

    Jennette McCurdy is trying really hard to dismiss rumors that there is bad blood between her and her Sam & Cat co-star, Ariana Grande.

    Jennette McCurdy told E! that, of course, there was a little drama when Sam & Cat suddenly dissolved.

    Jennette McCurdy said, “I just feel that, you know, Ariana and I were and are extremely close and very like-minded in a lot of different ways, and then, sort of, as the show dissolved, everybody wanted to find some sort of hidden meaning in our relationship and some drama.”

    Jennette McCurdy said her and Grande butted heads sometimes, but it wasn’t any different than what any two friends that work together all the time might experience. In fact, some of the drama may have been exaggerated, just because that’s what sells.

  • Jana Duggar: Sick Of Being Unpaid Duggar Babysitter?

    Jana Duggar is rumored to be leaving 19 Kids and Counting to follow her own pursuits.

    Usually, when a Duggar kid leaves home, it is because of a courtship and marriage.

    However, this is not the case for Jana Duggar.

    She has no prospects in the marriage department, and at 25, she feels like she needs to go ahead and further her education.

    An insider recently told OK! Magazine, “Jana just turned 25, so she knows she needs to get on with her education if she doesn’t want to be stuck at her mom and dad’s house in Arkansas forever.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wdhwXEGlA8

    The insider also revealed that Jana Duggar’s father, Jim Bob, was not happy about her plans, but that she has made up her mind.

    A source told The Hollywood Gossip, “She told her parents that she was looking at Christian colleges and would be applying soon. Jana knows she needs to get on with her education if she doesn’t want to be stuck at her mom and dad’s house in Arkansas for the rest of her life.”

    It doesn’t seem like the pursuits that Jana Duggar is interested in will be too far from what she is used to.

    She said in the book The Duggars: 20 and Counting, “I love working with children and I especially love being around new babies, You might think I get plenty of that as being part of this big family.”

    She added, “But I also volunteer at a children’s shelter to help entertain and visit with the little ones there. I have lots of other interests too, including sewing, cooking and playing the piano, violin and harp. I enjoy decorating and helping plan parties and political-campaign events. I love being the big sister to a houseful of siblings.”

    What do you think of the rumor that Jana Duggar might be getting ready to strike out on her own?

  • Marvin Gaye Family: Will They Be Taking A Closer Look At “Happy” Now That They Won “Blurred Lines” Suit?

    Marvin Gaye’s family won a historic lawsuit on Tuesday against Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke.

    The family of Marvin Gaye claimed that the song “Blurred Lines” stole too many elements from, and sounded too much like, Marvin Gaye’s 1977 hit “Got to Give It Up”.

    Marvin Gaye’s family won a judgement of over $7 million for using elements of “Got to Give It Up” without permission.

    “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being inspired,” Nona Gaye, Marvin Gaye’s 40-year-old daughter, explained. “I’ve been inspired when I made music before. Inspiration’s fine, but the line is when you decide to take the complete and utter essence out of the song. When you take all the meat, and leave the bones.”

    Had fun performing at last's night Stevie Wonder tribute with Ryan Tedder. Thank you @chanelofficial

    A photo posted by Pharrell Williams (@pharrell) on

    After the verdict, the family is going to enjoy their victory and rest after their long-fought battle.

    “My heart started pounding but I still had faith that the verdict was going to go our way,” Janis Gaye, Marvin Gaye’s ex-wife, said of the moments just before the verdict was read. After the verdict was read, it all came rushing out.

    She added, “That’s when I lost it completely. And I was filled with incredibly powerful emotion.”

    Now that the victory is in the bag for Marvin Gaye’s family, they say they might just take a closer listen to Pharrell Williams’ incredibly popular song, “Happy”.

    Marvin Gaye’s family says that the song sounds a lot like Marvin Gaye’s hit, “Ain’t That Peculiar”.

    Nona Gaye said of the two songs, “I’m not going to lie. I do think they sound alike.”

    I don’t know, that seems like a stretch to me.

    But, the family is not quite ready to start over again with another lawsuit just yet.

    She said, “We’re not in that space.”

    Janis Gaye said, “We’re just in the moment today and we’re satisfied.”

    She added, “I heard the mash-ups — but I didn’t really need to hear them. I know ‘Ain’t That Peculiar’ and I’ve heard ‘Happy’.”

    The victory of Marvin Gaye’s family in this lawsuit has shaken the music world and raised a lot of questions about the creative process.

    “You’ve made it illegal to reference previous material,” said Los Angeles composer and producer Gregory Butler, who is also a managing director at music start-up WholeWorldBand. “I’m never going to come up with something so radically different that it doesn’t contain references to something else.”

    Joe Escalante, an early member of the Vandals and current entertainment law attorney, said, “This may put a smile on the Gaye family’s face, but it’s a dark day for creativity, and in the end, this will be a net loss for music fans.”

    He added, “Good news for lawyers and the bitter everywhere.”

    What do you think? Do “Happy” and “Ain’t That Peculiar” sound enough alike to warrant a lawsuit? Where is the line between inspiration and theft?

  • Anna Duritskaya: Girlfriend Of Slain Putin Critic In Hiding

    Anna Duritskaya: Girlfriend Of Slain Putin Critic In Hiding

    Anna Duritskaya, in a situation that sounds like a really familiar spy movie, is now in hiding after being on “virtual house arrest”.

    Anna Duritskaya was detained for three days of interrogation after her boyfriend, Russian opposition leader Boris Y. Nemtsov, was gunned down.

    As soon as she was free to go, Anna Duritskaya fled to her mother’s home in Ukraine.

    The two of them slipped away under a mass media gathering that began after the shooting on Friday.

    Anna Duritskaya, a 23-year-old model and actress, is fearful for her life. She has erased all of her social media profiles and will not answer her cell phone.

    In numerous reports by state-run media, they attempt to pin Nemtsov’s murder on anyone but the Kremlin. Investigators claim they are looking onto everything from foreign intrigue aimed at destabilizing Russia, to an act of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism on behalf of Russia’s Chechens and other Caucasus Muslims, and even an act of passionate rage from a romantic rival of Anna Duritskaya’s.

    They have also insinuated that Anna Duritskaya could have had something to do with it.

    However, many citizens and many around the world can’t help but wonder if Vladimir Putin or his associates were involved.

    There are many suspicious situations surrounding the night Nemtsov was gunned down while walking home from dinner over a bridge above the Moscow River with Anna Duritskaya.

    For example, the area, which is steps from the Kremlin, is usually heavily monitored by cameras, but many cameras at the scene had been taken out of service for maintenance Friday.

    Also, some footage that was recovered shows a snowplow going slowly along the bridge sidewalk that appeared to provide cover for the gunman.

    There was no snow.

    Anna Duritskaya did a Skype interview with independent news outlet Dozhd in order to avoid official censorship.

    She said, “I do not know who did it. I do not want to answer any more questions about what happened on the bridge. I do not want to talk about it.”

    What do you think about this political drama? Do you think Anna Duritskaya is safe?

  • Calista Flockhart Smiles After Spending Time With Hubby, Harrison Ford, In Hospital

    Calista Flockhart was photographed on Friday, smiling after a long ordeal following Harrison Ford’s plane crash on Thursday.

    Calista Flockhart reportedly rushed to the hospital to be with her husband shortly after his vintage World War II plane went down.

    He crashed on a Los Angeles golf course soon after takeoff.

    Dr. Sanjay Khurana, a spine surgeon, was playing golf and walking toward the seventh green at Venice’s Penmar Golf Course.

    Calista Flockhart’s hubby’s plane was gliding about 100 feet above his head, then it struck a tree with the wing. The plane came crashing down about 50 yards from where Dr. Khurana was standing.

    “It felt like an earthquake,” he said.

    Dr. Khurana helped to stabilize Ford and pull him out of the plane after kicking dirt on some fuel leaking out of the plane.

    “We wanted to get him out safely and with the fuel leaking out, I motioned to some of the other folks at the golf course to put dirt on the fuel so it wouldn’t combust,” Khurana said. “I just wanted to get him out safely so that the situation wouldn’t erupt into a fire.”

    Harrison Ford reportedly had blood all over his head and body. He asked, “Where am I?”

    On Thursday, a source told People, “Calista arrived at the ER shortly after Harrison. She looked concerned and stayed with Harrison until late last night. This morning, she drove [their son] Liam to school and then straight to the hospital. She is still at the hospital now.”

    Calista spent most of her time at the hospital. Harrison Ford reportedly underwent surgery for a broken ankle and a broken hip.

    “They are a super loving, normal, down-to-earth family,” a source told People. “Flying is something they’ve shared. This whole thing must be terrifying.”

    Do you think Calista Flockhart will let Harrison Ford fly after this?

  • Farrah Abraham To Return On “Teen Mom OG”, But Don’t Worry, She Won’t Be On Every Episode

    Farrah Abraham made a surprise return announcement via the trailer for the new show, Teen Mom OG.

    The original three teen moms that were going to be on the show, Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell and Amber Portwood, thought that she wouldn’t be on the new show, and they were shocked (and angry) that Farrah Abraham was being brought back on.

    “It’s not about Farrah,” Maci Bookout, who was rumored to possibly be leaving the show after Farrah Abraham’s reappearance, said. “I’m not mad at her, I don’t judge her — nothing like that. But there’s also a fine line with what I find appropriate and I just don’t think it’s appropriate for my 6-year-old son to be involved with some of the things Farrah is involved in.”

    Catelynn Lowell have a similar reaction.

    “At first, for a little bit, we were kind of okay with it,” Lowell said of Farrah Abraham’s participation on the show. “Until we really sat down about it and were like, ‘Um, we don’t know how good this is for the moral compass of the show.’ Like, we are trying to educate girls about good things, not so much the sex industry part.”

    Executive Producer Morgan J. Freeman cleared up some things about the first season of Teen Mom OG. He revealed that Farrah Abraham isn’t in the first episode of the show, and she won’t be a regular, either.

    He said of Farrah Abraham’s story line, “[Her mother] Debra has been living in Seattle. She starts to sniff around to see if she can move to Austin. Her dad Michael lives there. Farrah definitely has some feelings about that. You definitely get reacquainted with the entire family. Farrah does a lot of traveling. She does meet somebody. I’ll leave that there.”

  • Jenelle Evans: Was Nathan Griffith Cheating Before Domestic Violence Arrest?

    Jenelle Evans seems to be doing just fine without Nathan Griffith.

    Jenelle Evans is working on getting her nursing degree and getting her life together for her kids.

    Nathan Griffith, her (probably former) fiance, is not doing as well.

    On Wednesday, Jenelle Evans claims that Nathan Griffith pinned her against a toilet and forced her engagement ring off of her finger, leaving a cut.

    Jenelle Evans told police that she had been staying at a hotel and had returned to the home they share to get some things she needed for school when the altercation happened.

    However, reportedly Nathan Griffith told the police that Jenelle Evans became upset with him and ripped the ring off of her own finger in a fit of rage. He also told police that she is the violent one in the relationship.

    He then proceeded to show them scars that Jenelle Evans had left on his back and other various places on his body, but he declined to give a statement.

    What happened that lead up to the fight between Jenelle Evans and Nathan Griffith and his subsequent arrest is unclear, but there are reports that he may have been cheating.

    According to Inquisitr, Jenelle Evans tweeted some serious accusations against Nathan Griffith’s fidelity.

    Can't wait until next week

    They claim that Jenelle Evans accused him of cheating with a girl named Heather, apparently someone he was following on Twitter, and she then “flipped out”.

    However, those tweets were deleted.

    Shortly after the rumored Twitter accusations, Nathan Griffith completely closed his account and Jenelle Evans posted this:

    What do you think? Is there anything to the rumors that Nathan Griffith was cheating on Jenelle Evans or do you think she was maybe in a jealous rage?
