Jessica Simpson Buys Engagement Ring, Vows to Support Boyfriend

Star Magazine is selling a sad story that claims that Jessica Simpson bought herself an engagement ring and vowed to support her broke ass piece, Eric Johnson. It’s terribly sad as I could picture her doing just that.

Via Star Mag print edition:

“Jessica Simpson is telling her friends that she is going to marry Eric Johnson, even though she’s only been seeing him for a few weeks. She bought herself and [sic] engagement ring! A $50,000 three carat emerald-cut diamond! Eric is worried he’s not financially secure enough to start a future with her, but Jessica wanted to show him that she doesn’t care about that — and she has enough money for them both.”

Gossip Cop has swooped in to poo-poo on Star’s story. They say their insider laughed at this story and called it “hysterically” false. So it’s a battle of the insider-types as to what the truth is. I am guessing it is somewhere in the middle and goes like this…

Jessica Simpson took a break from buying her cats bibs and feeding them applesauce to go window shopping for engagement rings. She picked out an emerald cut 3 carat ring and told boyfriend, Eric Johnson, that she would keep him well stocked with corn dogs for the rest of his life if he proposed. He shrugged and bargained with a further request for lifetime supply of American Eagle khaki shorts, a subscription to Fisherman’s Digest and a $500 gift card to Applebees.

Katy Perry’s Mom Flirts With Russell Brand

He didn’t win Bizarre Shagger Of The Year three years running for nothing! Katy Perry’s parents might have been strict in the past, but these days its Katy who’s doing the disciplining – scolding her mom for flirting with her fiance, Russell Brand.

Per Us:

“They really didn’t know about him,” Perry says. “They give people the benefit of the doubt and it’s up to the person to mess it up.”

Initially her parents were a little wary of the man who single-handedly worked his way through an impressive percentage of the world’s female population. Eventually they did warm up to him, especially Mama Perry, perhaps a bit too much for Katy’s liking.

“He’s very charming with them and he has an ongoing on email love with my mom and she loves it,” Perry laughs. “She flirts with him, which is totally inappropriate and I tell him to stop.”

Well that’s nice, I think. I just hope my mom doesn’t do that my future fiance! Aside from all the banter Brand and Mama Perry share, it seems that Katy is fully aware that life for her will be very different once she ties the knot, saying she is looking forward to becoming Mrs. Russell Brand, even if it means she has to party less.

“I won’t be able to get drunk all the time, but I don’t want to. I won’t be able to waste hours on the internet, but I don’t need to. I have to be precious with my time because I need time with myself and I want time with him. It’s just about balance.”

It’s called being a wife, Katy. Cheers to that!

Jennifer Lopez Out As ‘American Idol’ Judge

The game of musical chairs continues at the “American Idol” judges’ table after Jennifer Lopez, who was in the running – really a front-runner, is out of the picture. According to People, J-Lo’s diva demands became too much for The Fox Television Network to deal with.

“Her demands got out of hand,” says the source. “Fox had just had enough.”

Fox and production company Fremantle Media both replied to request for comment with a big, fat…wait for it…”No comment.” What those “demands” were is not known, but it’s too bad. J-Lo would have been fun to watch. With Lopez out of the picture, does that mean there’s room for Jessica Simpson at the table? Not so fast – as rumors are rumbling that another diva, Mariah Carey, would “love” to be a judge on ‘American Idol’. Husband Nick Cannon admits his wife regularly talks about working on it, but he is unsure if she would be able to be a judge due to her other commitments.

Per Us:

“She talks about it. She says, ‘I would love to do that,’” her husband Nick Cannon, 29, says. “She is one of the greatest singers of our time; she would be great. I don’t know if she has enough time, though, but if they could work with her schedule, I know she would love to do Idol. Let’s start the campaign!”

I’m still holding out a glimmer of hope for a Simpson/Randy Jackson/Bret Michaels judging panel!

Kelsey Grammer’s New Girlfriend is Pregnant

Since Hollywood has gone sex mad and pretty demure celebs have come out as being straight up sluts, Frasier has decided to join the ranks.
Kelsey Grammer and his now ex wife, Camille, officially split six weeks ago. He filed for divorce and now has three ex wives. That hasn’t stopped him from knocking up his new piece. Grammer, 55, has been dating 29 year old flight attendant Kayte Walsh. Her family has been blabbing to anyone with a microphone or a badge that says PRESS on it that Kayte Walsh is pregnant with Kelsey Grammer’s baby.

Via Daily Mail:

“I don’t know how long they have been together and I have not met him yet, but I’m looking forward to it. We just found out about her pregnancy a couple of days ago. I think they met in New York socially because she works for Virgin Airways and often stops over in America. The main thing is for them both to be happy and they are – they have just hit it off together.’

I question the timing of their relationship. Kelsey and his ex were kissing and very affectionate at the opening night after party for “La Cage Aux Folles’ in April. Then showed another united front at the Tony Awards on June 13th. (See photos below.)

Blake Lively Wants Gossip Girl Character, Serena van der Woodsen, Killed

Blake Lively is ready to diva out of “Gossip Girl” and focus on her movie career. Instead of quietly negotiating her way she is going the way of the Heigl Beast and asking for her character to be killed off so she can toss her hair bob her head and snap “Later Bitches!” According to the rumor mill, Blake is tired of all the off-screen drama and her story lines.

Via Showbiz Spy per Heat Magazine:

“She’s tired of working on the show. It was great at the beginning, but she’s started to get bored of her storylines and all the petty fights on set. Nearly all the cast members have had some kind of bust-up. Besides the fact that she gets to work with her boyfriend, Blake wants to leave. Serena’s been the show’s most dramatic character and Blake thinks she deserves a fitting exit,” the source added.

“Execs aren’t convinced they’ll let her go but ideas have been thrown around. Suicide is one, though it’s likely to be an accident. She’s grown up and though she’s grateful to Gossip Girl for giving her the status she’s achieved, it doesn’t fit her future plans,” the source said.

I admittedly haven’t indulged in “Gossip Girl” because I am too busy watching nerd porn (Discovery Channel) or food porn (Nigella’s Kitchen, Top Chef, Good Eats). But I advise against biting the hand that feeds you because this could be your future…

It’s like looking into a crystal ball.

Victoria Beckham is Pregnant !?!

So says Australia’s Famous magazine. According to the magazine Victoria Beckham is pregnant and this baby is supposed to be “saving their marriage.” Yes, nothing fixes marriage problems like 7 pounds of pooping, crying, constantly hungry and high maintenance baby. (Post typing I realized that I just described Victoria.)

Anyway, the mag claims that David Beckham and Posh spilled their 24k covered hearts and the status of Vicky’s womb…

“Posh and Becks are expanding their family. Romeo, Brooklyn and Cruz will have either a brother or sister, Posh must be wishing for a little girl by now! It’s a new beginning for the couple, this week we reveal the pact that saved their marriage.”

Being that there isn’t any sign of a bump or bloat from eating a piece of toast.

“Glee” Star Mark Salling Dating Selena Gomez?!?

I am going to get the hate mail for this one, but it appears that ‘Glee’ hottie Mark Salling (aka Puck), is showing his mohawk to Disney cutie Selena Gomez!

According to our friends at Bumpshack, Gomez and Salling were flirting heavily at the recent Teen Choice Awards.

“They were texting during the awards, even though Selena was front row and Mark was backstage co-hosting. Every time Mark came up on stage, she was beaming ear to ear.”

Mark, who is 27, is scheduled to release an album titled “Pipe Dreams” in the fall, while Gomez, a mere 18, is promoting her current flick, ‘Ramona and Beezus.’

‘Mad Men’ Style in New Advertising Campaigns

Mad Men’ has filled my free time and fast become one of the freshest shows available. The style is enviable and from a time that is classic and constantly emulated…for good reason.

AMC has made the wise choice to further embrace the 60’s by partnering with Unilever brands to create six ads that parody the time and convey the product with modern footage. Smith Winter Mitchell Agency is a fictional ad agency that will campaign the products. The ads will run during “Mad Men” which airs Sunday Nights on AMC at 10 pm EST.

To keep with the theme, all six products being shown were actually around in period in which “Mad Men” is set. Each commercial will begin at the agency and then show the modern footage for the ad created.

You can check a sneak peek of the commercials below! We will also be featuring sneak peeks later this week. Keep your eyes peeled.

Courtney Love: Frances Bean Turned Down Bella Role in ‘Twilight’

Um…ok. Courtney Love is releasing more ramblings about her daughter Frances Bean. Despite Frances saying STFU and getting the court system involved, Love continues to talk about her as though nothing were wrong.

During an interview with the Daily Mail, she claims that Frances was offered the role of Bella in the ‘Twilight’ films along with a role as Alice in the fairy tale remake.

“Frances is so beautiful, but she doesn’t want to be famous. She was offered the part of Bella in the Twilight movies, and Tim Burton wanted her for Alice in Wonderland. But she wants to go to college: she’s very good at graphic novels. [...] Frances will be fine, it’ll be fine.”

She follows this statement with an admission that she attempted suicide.

‘I had an episode a few weeks ago where I attempted to jump out of a window.’

Then Love further states that she is Scarlett Johansson’s friend and states that she is interested in playing the role of Courtney in a biopic being thrown together.

‘Scarlett [Johansson] is my buddy. She wanted to see the script, so I’d much rather have a friend do it. I’ve seen her dress up as me: she tried on a slip, everything was perfect.’

I am ready to see Robert Pattinson’s take on this. I am sure after calling her a “dick” post Kurt Cobain biopic feud he might have some colorful retort on this.
