Rapper Asher Roth to Admit He’s Gay – UPDATED

Apparently Caucasian rapper Asher Roth is gay. And, like any diva, he plans to announce his gayness via an E! special where he is allegedly set to discuss his decision to come out of the closet.

asher-roth-picture

Roth is said to be the secretly gay rapper mentioned in Terrance Dean’s 2008 tell-all Hiding in Hip-Hop: Confession Of A Down Low Brother In The Entertainment Industry.

Via Popcrunch:

“Word is the unlikely rap star will appear on E! News this week; where he will reveal that he is gay, discuss his decision to come out of the closet, and express the fulfillment he’s found since moving to a ‘gay section’ of New York City.”

Roth was recently spotted at The Gay Rights Parade in New York along with other moes like REM’s Michael Stipe and gay icon Lady GaGa.

I am not sure why people are surprised by this. He is clean and groomed, well-dressed, and can explain the color burnt sienna.

UPDATE: Asher had this to say about the rumors:

I hate to disappoint and take away the entertainment of it all but I am straight, not gay. It’s disheartening to know such “news” on someone’s personal life can be portrayed as fact with no viable source. This, to me, is an opportunity to expose our vulnerability to lies and manipulation through unprofessional and irresponsible news outlets, in which people consider TRUTH. Further, someone’s sexual orientation should NEVER be big news, as it delivers a troubling message to children that they can’t be themselves without fear of judgment. Race, creed, and sexual persuasion should not just be tolerated but understood and accepted. It’s extremely disappointing that this topic would be used with the intention of being hurtful. We are near 2010….2010!! Yet race, sex and religion still play a major role in a hate driven society. For the love of the future and humanity….let’s wake up.

Brittany Murphey Found Dead

brittany-murphy-dead-at-32.jpg

Actress Brittany Murphy went into full cardiac arrest and died this morning in Los Angeles. An emergency call was made about 8am Sunday morning from husband Simon Monjack’s home, the L.A. Fire Department was quoted as saying. She was rushed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center but pronounced dead on arrival. Her time of death was listed as 10:04 AM.

Sources tell TMZ Brittany Murphy’s mom discovered her unconscious in the shower. We’re told when paramedics arrived, they quickly determined Murphy was in full cardiac arrest and immediately administered CPR.

Murphy was born in Atlanta and began acting as a young teenager in a series of television appearances. Her breakthrough role was in the 1995 hit “Clueless” with Alicia Silverstone, and was well-known for her roles in “8 Mile,” and most recently “Sin City.” Murphy also provided the voice for Luanne Platter in popular animated television series “King of the Hill.” She married British screenwriter Monjack in 2007.

Murphy made headlines earlier this month when her husband had a brief health scare that led him to the hospital. And she reportedly parted ways on bad terms from production of the upcoming movie “The Caller.” Earlier in her career, Murphy was accused of having an eating disorder which some believed was tied to a cocaine habit, but she strongly denied the accusations.

Murphy was only 32 years old. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends during this time.

Robert Pattinson Goes Nuts On Fan With Swine Flu

robert-pattinson

A teenage Twi-hard kissed Robert Pattinson full on the lips before letting him know she had been getting over swine flu, and the actor was sure to know he was none-to-pleased about it. She apparently just happened to spot him standing on the side of the road when she jumped out of the car and threw herself at him. Pattinson might have been a little more acceptable of the kiss if the fan hadn’t said to him that her mother didn’t want her to get out and meet her idol because she was just getting over the swine flu! The revelation sent Pattinson into a bit of a tizzy! He then shoved the girl away and ran off, while yelling over his shoulder at her.

Per News.com.au:

“You have the Swine Flu?… What the hell are you doing kissing anyone?” Rob then told his bodyguards, “You guys have got to keep these crazies away from me!”

Pattinson next went to a drugstore and bought a bottle of Listerine, according to various reports. Surely the excitement of spotting Pattinson randomly on the street over whelmed her good judgment but you can’t blame him for being peeved! You have to give him credit for not smacking the girl all the way back to her mothers car!

Conan O’Brien to be Replaced by Seinfeld !?!

conan-obrien

According to Entertainment Weekly, this year The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien had its lowest November ratings in 15 years, losing 52% of its viewership as opposed to last year since O’Brien took over for Jay Leno. Could NBC possibly be changing it up if the ratings continue to fall? Apparently so, as rumors are circulating that NBC is reportedly looking for a replacement, beginning informal talks to find a new late night funny man for the time slot.

Per Popeater:

“NBC just can’t carry on like this. ‘The Tonight Show’ has lost 52 percent of its viewership in just one year. The November ratings will be the show’s lowest in 15 years. They would be idiots to not be having the replacement conversation,” a source tells me.

Insiders are saying the one man on top of everyone’s wish list is Jerry Seinfeld. However, getting him to commit is another thing, and that seems to be a longshot. Conan’s people are vehemently denying the speculation.

“Completely false. There are no conversations happening. Conan is the host of the ‘Tonight Show.”

Sounds to me like someones in denial.

New Music Friday – All Time Low

Pop-punk foursome “All Time Low” formed in Baltimore in 2003 around singer/guitarist Alex Gaskarth and guitarist Jack Barakat before adding bassist Zack Merrick and drummer Rian Dawson to round out their band and rowdy live show, which often included silly string and beach balls. Balancing homework and other teenage adventures, the guys managed to tour across the east coast and the south during school breaks. They released the four-song EP “The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End” through the local label “Emerald Moon” in 2004 and followed up with a full-length album, “The Party Scene,” a year later. Before graduating high school in 2006, they signed a record deal with “Hopeless Records” and re-recorded songs from their debut album and included two new songs for their EP “Put Up or Shut Up.” The EP entered both the Top Independent Albums and Top Heatseekers charts. They’ve shared the stage with national headliners such as Motion City Soundtrack, Acceptance, The Early November, The Receiving End of Sirens, The Academy Is…, Plain White T’s, Spitalfied, and many more.

In 2007, All Time Low released “So Wrong, It’s Right,” which entered the Billboard 200 at number 62. The band was eventually selected as Alternative Press Magazine’s “Band of the Year” for 2008. While writing for a third album, they collaborated with Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus and a host of other producers. Their third album “Nothing Personal” was released in July, debuting at number four on the Billboard 200. It was revealed in November 2009 that the band had signed to major label “Interscope Records.” The band also announced that they would have a song featuring on the soundtrack for the upcoming film “Alice in Wonderland.”

Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don’t)” is the second single from their new studio album, reaching as high as #21 on iTunes during its first week of availability. It also became their first Hot 100 charting song, debuting at #67. You can view the video above.

Kevin Jonas to Wed This Weekend

teen choice awards stills 141009

Radar is reporting that Kevin Jonas and his finace, Danielle Deleasa will tie-the-knot this weekend at an estate in Long Island.

You may remember the oldest Jonas Brother proposed to Deleasa after flying to her native New Jersey on a red-eye after a show in Vancouver (refresh your memory by clicking here).

Via Radar:

“The wedding rehearsal will be held on Friday (and will include a roller skating rink!) and the wedding will occur on Saturday. RadarOnline.com can also confirm that long-time friend Demi Lovato- who has been rumored to be having a secret romance with Joe and has toured with the brothers- is expected to be one of the guests.”

In true, ‘I’m rich and you’re not’ fashion, the menu will include sea bass and filet mignon with vegetable tart. I guess mostaccioli and green beans almondine are so last year.

Justin Timberlake #1, Paris Hilton last in the Celebrity Impact Ratings

celebs

Our friends over at The Daily Beast took time this holiday season to find out which celebrities really give what they claim to give to their charities.

The Daily Beast crunched the numbers and came up with some surprising results.

golden globes nominations 151209

Topping the list of charitable celebs? Justin Timberlake, whose support of the Shriner’s Hospital for Children sets his annual impact at over $9 million.

The bottom? Paris Hilton, who’s worth less than $1000. Don’t worry, Paris is used to being on the bottom.

So, how were the rankings determined?

Via The Daily Beast:

“First, we chose 50 of the biggest celebrities in the world who are allied with a nonprofit, either as a member of its board or advisory committee, an ambassador, or the face of a campaign. These names represent a healthy cross-section of fame and influence. While many celebrities support more than one charity, we only judged the primary charity for each celebrity—this exercise is designed to see how much impact a celebrity has on a specific nonprofit, rather than how charitable they are overall, or how much they contribute awareness to a more all-encompassing cause.

From there, we tallied how much awareness they produced for their favored nonprofit in print, television, and online, and also calculated any personal donations to the charity, since cash is the most direct impact of all.”

Kourtney Kardashian’s REAL Baby Daddy

kourtney-kardashian-and-scott

It was is the most non-surprising surprise of the year, some icky tool is claiming to be the real father of Kourtney Kardashian’s baby, Mason Dash Disick.

If you aren’t a fan of their ho strollin’ show, Kourtney has been dating this greasy looking creature named Scott who constantly dips his dangler in the skank pool when Kourt isn’t looking. They broke up and she went to Miami to film a spinoff of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” During her stint as a single lady, she made out with a chick and hooked up with some man-nasties. One of which is Premo Stallone. The biggest tool of them all, real name Michael Girgenti, is now claiming that he could be the biological father of Mason.

michael-girgenti-premo-stallone

“A close friend of the Kardashian sisters confirmed they’d been intimate, saying: “Kourtney hooked up with Michael twice while she and Scott were on the outs. He’s definitely been mentioned as a possibility for being the father of her baby.”

Though a rep for Kourtney insists Scott’s the dad, when Star asked Michael if there’s a possibility he fathered the baby, he replied: “You could say that, yeah.”

So what did we learn here kittens? Always double bag it when you are slumming it and Kourtney Kardashian has no standards.

Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson Hook Up Rumor – Video

radar-world-exclusive

Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry enjoyed a night out together in Burbank California last night, reportedly getting flirty at times, where they were celebrating a friend’s birthday with a large group of friends at a karaoke bar. According to Radar Online, the two are regular karaoke buddies at Dimples Supper Club in Burbank and looked to be more than just good friends, even leaving together in Katy’s car.

A Dimples’ staffer tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that in 2008, Rob and Katy visited the karaoke dive together. “She brought him here before. Every time she comes he seems to follow.”

Robert and Katy showed up late Wednesday night with friends, and Katy took to the stage to sing a Christmas song that apparently didn’t sound very good due to trouble with the bar’s speakers while Robert was throwing back whiskey and colas. It’s also being said they were talking with their foreheads touching and Katy was giggling and “positively giddy” around Robert.

“She had on black skin tight pants with the sides cut out, Rob was getting an eyeful and he loved it!”

So, wait…Kristen Stewart doesn’t do karaoke? And if Katy is more than just friends with Robert, then why was boyfriend Russell Brand shopping for Cartier diamonds in London before flying to L.A. this week? (Read about that here.) Love how Radar fails to mention that birthday girl/friend Shannon Woodward is also in the car with them as they leave, making Robert sit in the backseat. Or the fact that in the video, Katy & Robert are no where near each other or talk to each other until they’re in the car. Or how about the fact Radar is one of the few places to leave out the fact that Brand was also spotted hanging out with the bunch for a while. Yup – this can pretty much be chalked up to BS.
