Can you believe these celebs used to date?

Don’t think Jeremy Renner is dating any time soon

Well, we all know the big news this week was Demi Lovato’s breakdown, which stirred up a lot of controversy (and not just on CC!). I would like to focus on everything else that happened this week instead of focusing on her very personal issues. We truly wish her well, and I want to respect her family’s wishes to keep out of it.

On a lighter note, there are some interesting things going on in Hollywood that don’t involve all kinds of Charlie Sheen/Mel Gibson crazy. And is it just me or are there a ton of movie trailers coming out all of a sudden? Like I need more distractions from class!

Big Time Procrastinating Tools

1. It’s about time: Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are engaged! They released an official statement this week saying how happy they are about their future together.  No deets on how it went down yet, but congrats! Reports are saying that Jessica Simpson is upset by the news, but we have a feeling some magazines (ahem, OK/Us Weekly/Star, ahem) came up with that one on their own.

2. Are LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian engaged too? They Tweeted a photo on Halloween of a fake proposal as “part of the Halloween fun” and sources said they weren’t engaged.  But now, sources are saying they really are.  Apparently they got engaged before they posted the photo, and then made a prank.  Why, who knows?  Great that they’re happy, but that doesn’t make the public like them anymore.

3. Baby Spice, Emma Bunton, is pregnant with her second child!  She and her man, Jade Jones, have a 3-year-old son and just announced that they’re expecting again.  Congratulations!  Since this is the 9th offspring from the Spice Girls, maybe the mini spices will make their own group!

4. Will Jay-Z be running in the 2012 presidential race? No, but maybe in 2016!  In a recent interview, the rapper told said that, “Maybe in eight years, I’ll be the President.”  He then went on to talk about politics and the current situation.  Honestly, it’d be pretty cool to have Jay-Z as the Pres! Just think how awesome those State of the Unions will be!

5. Speidi might be going bankrupt! The two reality stars, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, have already gone through their more than $10 million earned from The Hills.  Wowza, that’s a lot of money! They’ve moved into a studio apartment on Spencer’s parents’ property and are considering filing for bankruptcy.  Guess those crystals didn’t deliver on their special, magical promises.

Itty Bitty Time Wasters

1. There will be eight Lady Gagas soon! Madame Tussauds is planning to release eight different Lady Gaga wax figures at their locations around the world!  This is the biggest launch in the museum’s history and I’m not surprised it’s Crazy Gaga who’s getting the honor.

2. Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio were spotted out at dinner this week, but it’s not what you think.  They’re not dating, but instead they had a dinner meeting with director Baz Luhrmann about his new film, The Great Gatsby.  Blake is one of the actresses in talks to play Daisy Buchanan and Leo is the frontrunner for Jay Gatsby. So excited!

3. Supernanny Jo Frost is dunzo! She said she wants to create some balance in her life so she can settle down. I say, we need another so-bad-it’s-good reality show to fill this new void in my life.

4. Weezy is freeeee! Lil Wayne was released from jail this week after his eight-month stay. Hopefully he won’t go the T.I. route and end up back in the slammer.

5. Check out Frieda Pinto looking GORGE in BlackBook magazine!

Leave it to our favorite celebrities to keep giving us more. It seems everything happens at the same time after a dull week and frankly we were overwhelmed just going through it all. This week we’ve had some break ups, an engagement, and a possible escape. We can always rely on Hollywood to give us something to talk about. But what else is new?

Industrial Sized Shampoo & Conditioner

1. Is Perez Hilton changing his ways? It certainly looks like it! After all of the suicide incidents we’ve been reading about due to bullying, Perez has decided to make some changes to the way he blogs. Perez posted a video this week explaining that he has been a bully to people like Jennifer Aniston, and he feels it’s time for him to be a more positive blogger. This doesn’t mean he won’t say some snarky things every now and then, but he’s going to clean it up a bit.

2. Courtney Cox and David Arquette are separated, and David talked too much about it on Howard Stern’s radio show. He explained that he and Courtney weren’t having sex and she wanted him to “do whatever [he] had to do,” which is why he slept with a waitress named Jasmine Waltz. The couple isn’t getting divorced yet and are trying to work on things through separation for the sake of their six-year-old daughter Coco. Hopefully Courtney missed his radio interview.

3. Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman were separated, now she has filed for divorce. The couple separated in September and are citing irreconcilible differences. They will share custody of their son Max, and Christina requested that both her and Jordan pay their own legal fees and that she pay no spousal support. They did sign a pre-nup, which means Jordan won’t be getting any moolah. Rumors are flying around that Christina may have cheated on the music exec, but nothing has been confirmed.

4. True Blood’s Joe Manganiello is engaged to actress Audra Marie! Sorry ladies, Alcide is unavailable! The two took a trip to Italy where he proposed! They’ve only been dating for a short while since they met in early 2009, but they are super cute together. Congrats!

5. Did Lindsay Lohan try to escape from rehab? No, but that would’ve been a great story! Reports are saying that LiLo tried to escape from the Betty Ford Center to get a soda. Ha! Shawshank Coke Redemption? It could be her comeback! Don’t worry though, her lawyer says this isn’t true, and Lindsay is making great progress. Keep it up lady!

Travel Size Hotel All-In-One Shampoo

1. T.I. talked down a suicidal man! The rapper was in Atlanta and heard about a man trying to jump on the radio, so he went over there to help. T.I. said if the guy came down, he’d talk to him in person and it worked!

2. Don’t worry Gleeks, Mark Salling is coming back! Reports were saying that Mark was getting the boot. False! That hottie isn’t going anywhere and he’ll be back after the Rocky Horror episode.

3. Johnny Depp visited an elementary school in England as Captain Jack Sparrow to help some kids with a mutiny! A nine-year-old girl wrote Captain Sparrow a letter asking for his help, and he showed up! Cool!

4. Robert Redford got knighted into France’s Legion of Honor. So now that’s Sir Robert Redford to you!

5. Check out Zach Galifinakis in Vanity Fair! Seriously. Best thing you’ll see all week.

In Hollywood, there are many variations of crazy. We’ve got the Lindsay Lohans, the Mel Gibsons, the Heidi Montags. There’s all sorts of lunatic species over there. But that’s why we love it, no? Just when you think the celebs have learned their lessons (I feel like a mom) they get into trouble again!

Silly little celebrities, get it together! Or don’t. It’s more fun this way.

King Size

1. T.I. is probably going back to jail! This time with his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle. The two were pulled over in Los Angeles because the police smelled marijuana coming from the car. They also reportedly found ecstasy and maybe even meth. YIKES! This could be big trouble for the rapper since he just got out of jail and has a three year probation. Be smart about getting stupid, brah!

2. Paris Hilton got arrested this weekend in Vegas for cocaine possession. Her heroic boyfriend, Cy Waits (you know, the guy who saved her life), was also arrested on DUI charges. Paris has come up with thousands of excuses for the coke in her bag (“I thought it was gum,” and “I don’t wear fake bags” are my two faves), none of which are very convincing. Since her arrest, Paris has been banned from several Las Vegas hotels including the Encore and Wynn. Thank god she’s still got the Hilton.

3. Lindsay Lohan filed a cease and desist against her dad, Michael Lohan! Apparently, Papa Lohan has been trying to sell LiLo’s diary excerpts from her rehab stint in 2007. This may be the reason our favorite felon was spotted out at a club with alcohol in the picture. But if she was actually drinking, we don’t know. Hopefully she’ll stay on the right path this time. We’re pulling for you, Lindsay!

4. Funnylady Chelsea Handler and her hot animal trainer boyfriend, Dave Salmoni, split up! Sadface. The two have been together for awhile and were spotted in August together at a Natasha Beddingfield concert. She even interviewed him a few times on her show. Chelsea mentioned the split on her September 1st episode and said she “was working very intimately with the Animal Planet, but unfortunately, that contract was terminated.” At least she knows how to laugh it off!

5. Are Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt faking it? We’ve been speculating that all the Speidi dramz is a publicity stunt and for good reason. The two have been spotted together in Costa Rica with their dogs! And they’ve pulled the plug on the sex tape sale with Vivid Entertainment. The good news is that Heidi’s looking a lot more normal, and she’s still planning to get her implants reduced. Could this be a change we’re seeing?

Bite Sized

1. Have no fear, Anne Hathaway’s hair is a wig! Since the disaster of Emma Watson’s pixie cut, it seemed that Anne was following the trend, but it turns out it’s a wig for her new movie, One Day. So sad – she looked gorge.

2. It looks like Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr are back together. They were spotted at the US Open doing some serious making out. Yay!

3. The cast for Dancing With The Stars season 11 (or Dancing with the Douche Lords) is out! It includes The Situation, Bristol Palin, David Hasselhoff and more!

4. Bradley Cooper and Ryan Reynolds in the same movie? YES please! They have signed on to do an action-comedy about two San Francisco police officers whose dads were on the force together. Yay!

5. Oh.my.gawd! Drool over True Blood sexpot Ryan Kwanten.

Michelle McGee wants to talk to Sandra.

Who’s the most overexposed couple of 2009?

Make him go crazy over you.

Normally for the Weekly 10, I find myself counting down things that piss me off. You know, like phrases that suck and uninspired Halloween costumes. So I’ve decided to give you a mix tape for putting up with me airing my grievances Letterman-style.

However, this mixtape is extra mixy. I present to you: my top ten favorite mashups. Wikipedia defines a mashup as, “a song or composition created by blending two or more songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the music track of another.”  Basically smushing two songs together to make an even cooler one.

Yeah, I was inspired by last week’s episode of Glee; how could you not be? That show is so. damn. good.

Let me know if I missed any other greatness.

10. “Womanizer” Britney Spears & Lily Allen
Even if she “retired from music,” I still  heart Lily Allen and Britney will always have a special place in my heart. Mixing a little Lily with a lot of Womanizer lyrics? Spice Girls have nothing on fierce duo.

9. “Bittersweet Dirt Off Your Shoulder” Jay-Z & The Verve
Cruel Intentions finale song plus my fave, Jay? I’ll take it.

8. “Live Your Life, Punk” T.I., Rihanna & Vampire Weekend (Mixed by Party Ben)
Vampire Weekend and T.I.? Please tour together. I’d go. And I’d be very, very happy.

7.“Love LockDown Day N’ Nite” Kanye West & Kid Cudi
For the conflicted scenester/rapper in all of us.

6. “Halo and Walking on Sunshine” Performed by the cast of Glee.
The very song that inspired me to spend 6 hours searching for other mashups online and create this splendid list.

5. “Every Car You Chase” The Police & Snow Patrol (Mixed by Party Ben)
Unexpectedly amazing.

4. “Hotel Room Game” Lady Gaga & Pitbull
Yes, Lady Gaga is a crazy biatch. We love her anyway. We also love Pitbull. And he loves us back. Two super catchy pop songs, one even catchier mash-up.

3. Anything off the Grey album
Black Album (Jay-Z) + White Album (The Beatles) = Incredible. I guess that’s what happens when you put two music legends together. I love the song, “What More Can I Say” with “As My Guitar Gently Weeps,” but the whole album is simply amazing. Gotta love Dangermouse.

2. Girl Talk
Every song rules, can’t pick just one; Gregg Gillis is all kinds of brilliant.

1 and a half. “Stand Up and Ring My Doorbell” White Stripes and Ludacris (Mashed by DJ Riko)
Because I couldn’t narrow it down to just ten, especially when Ludacris is involved. Sick beat.

1. “Can I Get Get Low” Lil’ Jon and Junior Senior
Okay, so I may be a little biased because “Get Low” might be my song if I were to do a wedding “Forever” style. Kidding. Sorta. But seriously, blend this throwback Lil Jon with the bouncy Junior Senior and you get perfection. Not to mention it makes Lil Jon slightly more tolerable for people who don’t understand his artistic genius.

When I was in middle school and I had to choose between two boys who wanted to take me to the 7th grade dance, my mom told me to make a list. (Mind you, that was the last time I ever had 2 boys fighting over me…) After noting that one of the boys had far more cons (like picking his nose…and eating it), I had my answer. Since then, I’ve used lists to make all of my difficult life decisions: beer or vodka, Kris Allen or Adam Lambert, flats or wedges…

And now: which celeb is worse for the future of society.

This week’s showdown is between two ladies who are tainting our youth, one racy photo at a time: Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus. Who is wreaking more havoc? Let’s break it down:

Disney Career

Miley Cyrus, or should I say Hannah Montana, was abducted into the Disney cult at the young age of rwelve. With a hit TV show, spin-off movie, and record deal, I’m not sure if Miley will be hanging up that hideous blond wig any time soon.

Lindsay Lohan, also paid her Disney dues, starring in The Parent Trap, Life Size, Freaky Friday, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and Herbie Fully Loaded. Sadly, the freckles faded (or perhaps were spray tanned over) and Lindsay broke her ties to Disney to pursue other acting gigs

Point: Miley Cyrus. Maybe it’s time Miley moved on to bigger and better things (it’s not like all those Disney movies did Lindsay any good, anyway). Besides, that whole double persona thing confuses the crap out of me.

Racy Pics

Miley Cyrus started small with some provocative bff pics, you know, just sharing a gummy worm with the bestie, eating lollipops, and rolling around on the ground together. But that was just the beginning. Soon after, Miley was jonesing for more Lolita love and stripped down to her skivvies. I like to refer to these as the panty pics, because, for God knows what reason, Miley decided to hold a photo sesh in her underwear (Myspace style). Of course the pictures leaked. I’ve been saving the best for last, because for her grand finale, Miley graced the cover of Vanity Fair in nothing but a sheet. Everybody on Team Miley lost their sh*t and denied any involvement in the decision. Hey, she ‘s just being Miley, right?

Lindsay Lohan posed for her Vanity Fair cover in a little white bikini. She waited to reveal her bits a few pages in a la Marilyn Monroe. The whole thing wasn’t terribly scandalous, but don’t you worry, there’s plenty more scandal in Lindsay’s photo past. First, I have two words for you: Fire Crotch. Seemed like Lindsay had something to prove after that little nick name became public. Then there were the  Vanessa Minnilo Knife Pictures.  But who am I to judge, I’m sure it was just your average house party when the knife play got a little out of control. Oh, and how could we forget when Lindsay passed out in that car?! God bless the paparazzi for capturing that gleaming moment in Lindsay’s life.

Point: Lindsay Lohan. A vag flash, knife pic and passing out drunk on camera? The only way Miley could top that is if someone got a shot of her in a threesome with the Jonas Brothers…and all of T.I.’s guns.

Role Model

Miley Cyrus likes to talk about her good morals. This could be great as far as being a role model. Who doesn’t want someone with strong moral values and an awesome work ethic to give kids someone to look up to? Unfortunately, Miley has been a little hypocritical as far as those morals go. Just look at the photo evidence if you don’t believe me.

Lindsay Lohan had a very public lesbian relationship with Samantha Ronson. This could have been a great opportunity for Lindsay to step up as a role model for the gay community and break some of the stereotypes associated with lesbians and bisexuals. Lindsay didn’t really come through, though. There was more focus on the negative instead of the positive in that relationship; drug allegations, restraining orders and public screaming matches don’t exactly promote a healthy image.

Point: Lindsay Lohan. I don’t really think anybody should be looking up to Lindsay Lohan right now.

Branding

Miley Cyrus has Hannah Montana stuff EVERYWHERE. I don’t think I’ve ever went shopping without seeing that big toothy smile. She has DVDs,  wigs, make up, handbags, backpacks, dolls, CDs, books, boardgames, toilet seats… Yes, I said toilet seats. Need I continue?

Lindsay Lohan had her own line of leggings, but right now she’s sticking to spray tan. It sounds like a cruel joke but it’s true – the queen of orange glow is taking her spray tan wisdom to the public with Sevin Nyne.

Point: Miley Cyrus. I know she’s probably raking in the cash, but nobody should ever put their face on a toilet seat. Seriously, she’s just asking to be pissed on.

Fame Whore Parents

Miley Cyrus is the daughter Billy Ray Cyrus (you know, Achey Breaky Heart, Billy Ray Cyrus.) When your dad was once a famous country singer (with chaps and a mullet) who is no longer in the limelight, you are already in danger of crossing into crazy stage-parent territory. Add in that Miley’s dad co-stars in Hannah Montana with her and you have a full fledged fame whore dad. It probably doesn’t help that Billy Ray has that very creepy Joe Simpson vibe going for him either.

Lindsay Lohan’s family loooooooves publicity. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, Dina and Michael Lohan will take any opportunity to talk to a tabloid, call a radio show, or write to a website. I’m surprised they haven’t hired sky writers yet. Like Billy Ray, Dina claims she attempted her own career as a rockette. She settled for a reality show and status as a fame whore parent instead.

Point: Lindsay Lohan. Let’s just say the Lohans are a little more involved in their daughter’s life. And by “involved” I mean “get drunk with her and call the paps to be outside when they leave.”

Celebretard Prize Goes To: Lindsay Lohan. As much as it pains me, I really can’t hate on Miley this time.

The claws are off for Gwyneth and Scarlett. Rawr!

You snooze, you lose….weight.

T.I.’s road to redemption a whole lot shorter than expected.

The Snuggie alternatives.

A look we’re totally loving.
