Whitney Houston ‘The X-Factor’ Wardrobe Malfunction – Video

It happens to everyone one time or another! Whitney Houston suffered a minor wardrobe malfunction that could have turned out disastrous on the British show “The X Factor” when a bra-like band on the back of her dress burst open during her performance. Clearly annoyed as she struggled with a loose strap on the long silvery dress she wore during the live performance of her new single “Million Dollar Bill,” she continued on like a pro and later joked about the incident.

Per PopEater:

“I sang myself out of my clothes,” she said after her performance.

*Cue your ‘Houston, we have a problem’ jokes here.* Thankfully for all involved, the incident didn’t turn out to be X-rated, but it was another snag, even though minor, in Houston’s long-awaited comeback. Maybe next time she’ll wear something a little less snug up top!

Robert Pattinson In Running To Play Prince Harry

Robert Pattinson is on the short list to play Prince Harry in a film about his life, called “The Spare,” about the royal’s experiences, including losing his mom Princess Diana and his time on the front line in the army in Afghanistan.

Per Ok!

“I feel a sense of compassion for the guy. His parents break up in the most spectacularly public way, his mother dies in the most tragic and, again, public way and everything is picked over, ” says director Peter Kosminsky.

The film’s script is currently in the works, and once film bosses find someone to play the lead they’ll be shooting in the UK and the Middle East. Competing with Sparklepants is also Rupert Friend and fellow “Harry Potter” actor Rupert Grint, although Kosminsky said he would consider casting an American actor for the role, too. This could be just the type of quality role Pattinson has been looking for, clearly unhappy with the scripts that have been coming his way recently.

Per I’m Not Obsessed via AnOther Man:

“Annoyingly, there are so few parts I feel I can add anything to, or that I want to do. Acting is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I don’t want to be an actor for the sake of it. I don’t find any particular pleasure in being an attention-seeker,” says Pattinson.

While he’s already taken on the role of a doomed wizard, a spanish painter, and a sparkly vampire, adding the part of British Royalty to his acting resume might just be the next best step for Pattinson. He already has a lot in common with Prince Harry – the ladies love them, they struggle for privacy, and every move they make is scrutinized by the media. Yeah, I think he could relate quite well!

Katy Perry Hooks Up With Russell Brand & John Mayer

Katy Perry was caught making out with Russell Brand after the MTV VMAs Sunday night, so I guess she likes kissing boys too! Perry was spotted sucking face with MTV Video Music Awards host at Lady Gaga’s VMAs afterparty, after the British sex-hound joked onstage that he had the hots for her.

Per NY Post:

“They were sitting very close together, flirting and whispering to each other with their faces very close. Then Russell leaned in for a long kiss. It didn’t look like this was the first time. He was looking extremely pleased with himself.”

She was probably just a little tipsy and his way of picking up women is to talk about them onstage. Perry was also rumored to have hooked up with John Mayer over the beginning of the weekend, locking lips with Mayer at Golds Bar. But what about her boyfriend, Travis McCoy? The thing we heard about Katy Perry’s love life was that she was reunited with her longterm boyfriend of the band Gym Class Heroes. Trouble in paradise already? Boy – Perry sure does get around! Is it time to mail a bio-hazard for her yet?

Edward Cullen/Robert Pattinson Hair Extensions for ‘Twilight’

early-version-of-edward-cullen-robert-pattinson-extensions

Oh am I so very thankful that this did not happen! “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke has revealed a little juicy tidbit: The original vision of Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen included a head of long, flowing hair. Yikes! (Larger, Readable Photo in the Gallery Below.)

Per MTV:

“I thought it would be cool if Rob had long, romantic hair,” Hardwicke told the gathered attendees. “So we put extensions on Rob and he just hated it. He sat there in the chair for eight hours and was like, ‘No.’”

Thankfully Rob was not thrilled with this idea, and firmly put his foot down having them removed the next day. But can you imagine how sexy it must have been to hear him do so in that British accent of his? This would have been quite the change from the “Twilight” book, as no where does it mention Edward having long flowing hair, and die-hard fans would have been upset with even the smallest change in their beloved Edward. Listen Catherine – don’t try to fix what isn’t broken!

Lindsay Lohan Investigated By Police For Jewel Theft

Lindsay Lohan

There is never a dull – or legal, for that matter – moment in this girls life! Lindsay Lohan was in London recently for a photo shoot with Elle magazine when she allegedly took off with $45,000 worth of jewels that were on loan from a local jeweler.

Per Holy Moly:

“She kept going on about the jewels asking if she could have them. We all thought she was joking!” according to the source.

After the photo shoot, the jewelers realized their items were missing and promptly contacted the magazine bosses who insisted they had no knowledge of what happened to the missing loot. Both the editors and jewelers then spent the next two weeks trying to get in touch Lohan, but she left the U.K. last week without so much of a simple returned phone call. Because of her unresponsiveness on this, the matter was handed over to British police late last week and is now being investigated.

This is by far the first time Lohan has played ‘sticky finger’ with others’ property. Louis Vuitton bosses reportedly refuse to deal with her anymore after she repeatedly walked off with goods from past photo shoots. Rumor has it that she has supposedly yanked one too many products from their shoots to the point that they’ve blacklisted her.

Per Holy Moly via NYPost:

“Louis Vuitton had sent over some samples for her to wear in the shoot. Lindsay kept shoving the clothes into her bag, and a stylist’s assistant kept getting them out of the bag, only to have Lindsay keep trying to take them. She ended up walking off with a very expensive shirt and some other items – which screwed Louis Vuitton because they were set to go to Vogue, W, and Harper’s Bazaar for other shoots. They were furious and kept trying to get their clothes back, but . . . Lindsay walked out with them and never returned calls.”

Lohan was also caught up in a fur fiasco after allegedly taking home a Russian student’s $11,000 mink coat from a New York club last year. Owner Masha Markova claimed Lohan straight up stole her coat as she was leaving the private party. Lindsay first denied it, but was later caught red handed when a photograph of her wearing the stolen property was published in a magazine. After threatening legal action the coat was quickly returned to her.

As of right now, there is no official confirmation from the police regarding Linday’s involvement as of yet, but you can sure when there is we will be one of the first to gloat about it. Rehab, alcohol & drug abuse, stalking Samantha Ronson around London, and now felony theft… Wow. And at only 22 years of age. Quite the role model, huh?

Her latest film, a French film based on the life of late singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, is currently screening at the Cannes Film Festival.

Her father spoke of his daugther telling Times of London:

“We have always been immensely proud of her and her achievements. We love her so much. She was called Lucy and she has lived up to that: she has been the light of our lives, me and my wife Sue, and daughter Katie. She was a lovely, generous, unselfish person who gave her all for others and thought of others before herself… She has been the most beautiful daughter. We are obviously devastated.”

In the Gainsbourg film, Gordon played 60s actress and singer Jane Birkin. Such a great talent. Our hearts go out to the loved ones of Lucy.
