Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Because there isn’t enough rich people doing mundane things on tv, a Jonas Brother reality show is in the works.
The three Jonai are reportedly set to have their own reality show on E! So, instead of watching Kong Kardashian try to squeeze into jeggings, we get to watch Hot One talk Eyebrows out of bangs. (Sadly,this already sounds more appealing.)
Miley Cyrus lost her shiz on a looming paparazzo who bumped into her mother. Miley and Tish were leaving California Chicken Café on Tuesday when the photog, who was trying to get shots of them getting into her SUV, ran into Momma Cyrus. The former ‘Hannah Montana’ star flipped out and cornered the offending pap while pushing his camera away and yelling at him.
“Are you serious? You just hit my mom with your camera! You just ran into my mom with your camera. Don’t you ever do that again. You just almost hurt my mom. Don’t you ever even think about it!”
She followed this verbal attack with another paparazzi fight on Wednesday. As she was leaving a gym in West Hollywood, another photog got too close and she lunged at his camera. He managed to keep her claws off the camera, but she made did make a point to back off. Both incidents involved paps from X17.

It wasn’t cutting, anorexia, or even bullying that sent Demi Lovato to rehab… Today, a Life & Style press release reveals that Lovato was seen doing line after line of cocaine at a party in North Richland Hills after a Neon Indian performance at The Granada Theater in December 2009. The press release further reveals the singer’s drinking and self-cutting problem, as well as her violent streak – as in, she punched one of her back-up dancers in the face.
Texas college student Brian Payne clearly remembers the night he spent hanging with Demi in North Richland Hills, Texas, where he saw her firsthand doing cocaine at a mutual friend’s house party on Dec. 28 last year. “She was doing line after line like a pro – and she was 17 at the time,” he tells Life & Style, recalling the wild party they attended after a concert by the band Neon Indian at the Granada Theater in Dallas. “I just remember her doing it as if she had been doing it for a long time. It didn’t seem like something new to her.”
Other insiders say that Lovato has also been turning to alcohol to help with recent troubles, which include the death of a friend and the awkward situation of touring with ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas while he dates Ashley Greene. Lovato is said to have kept up her habit of hard partying right up until she was taken to rehab.
“Demi’s been on a tear lately,” says an insider. “She’ll chug booze straight from the bottle.” Luckily for Demi, her mother and stepfather were quick to take action after they heard that she had punched a tour backup dancer in the face. “They overheard one of the dancers talking about it and freaked out,” says the insider. “They heard Demi was drinking, but the news that her partying was getting out of control shocked them – and they confronted her immediately.”
Lovato has also reportedly been caught on tape in what has been described as a booze and drug binge that shows the teen pop singer snorting cocaine according to a report from RadarOnline.
In the footage, Lovato can be seen snorting the drug through a rolled up bill, according to the amateur cameraman who captured the images.
A friend who witnessed the 18-year-old do lines of coke at a party in North Richland Hills, Texas, told RadarOnline.com: “Demi was belligerent, being slutty and doing coke all over the house. The guy who hosted the party shot multiple videos of this and what I’ve seen with my eyes, Demi is screaming, ‘F**k all of you, I’m famous, I don’t care what any of you think of me the whole world loves me.’ He shot her in the bathroom as she was finishing a line (of cocaine).”
Their report stated that though the site has not personally viewed the video, that they do have knowledge of the alleged tape being shopped around. This is bad news for Lovato and her career with Disney, and is the second accusation by a student who also claims that he witnessed Lovato doing coke at the same party last December.
Demi’s reps have been relatively tight lipped on the subject. When Demi was first entered into a facility, the announcement said it was for ‘physical and emotional issues.’ That could be anything… including cocaine.

Insert my shocked face. The Demi Lovato/Joe Jonas/Ashley Greene saga continues.
Since Demi has gone Disney starlet crazy and reportedly hit a back up dancer in a emotional breakdown, rumors have been heaved from every ‘source’ and ‘witness’ media outlets can get their hands on. Currently the most repeated story is that Lovato is exhausted, stressed and distraught with anger and jealousy as Joe Jonas prances around in front of her with his tongue in Ashley Greene’s mouth.
According to new reports, their entire relationship pre-Camp Rock 2 was all just a publicity stunt that Demi wasn’t in on. Disney allegedly pushed Joe to date Demi as they geared up for the sequel.
Via Zack Taylor:
“She felt everything was a big lie. When Joe [Jonas] and his father told her the truth, she couldn’t deal with anything anymore, even though Joe admitted he did have some feelings. She still totally lost it, and nothing was ever the same after that; She didn’t know who to trust or what was real anymore. In all honesty, she loved Joe, and to find out it was all fake, destroyed her.”
As for the breakdown, E!’s correspondent, Ken Baker, stated via his Twitter that Demi attacked a back up dancer named Alex Welch who goes by BGirl Shorty:
“I’m told the dancer Demi Lovato allegedly struck was Alex Welch – goes by profesh name “B Girl Shorty”+ danced for Biebs..”
Welch danced in “Camp Rock 2,” “Step Up 2” and “Stick It.” Apparently, Demi blamed her for squealing to tour handlers the details of how she spent a previous evening partying after a group dinner. The scuffle then turned to Ashley and Demi allegedly threatened her. More on that HERE….
Despite the many rumors and reports that Ashely and Joe are somehow to blame, reps insist it was a simple stress related breakdown and there was “never an issue between Ashley and Demi, and there is no truth to any rumors about a conflict.”

After the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter an influx of park goers have left the attractions with the upper hand. Tickets for the attractions jumped in price and in the current economic climate, vacations have dropped from budget constraints. (Click HERE for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter park review, hints and expansion rumors…)
I personally went through a marathon of saving in order to make it to Disney and the Wizarding World at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. At some points I didn’t think it would be a possibility. Hotels were demanding a huge chunk of my budget and park tickets, food and flights refused to conform into a reachable amount.
Thankfully, I had help. Dolphin World of Travel helped me score an incredible deal, gave me tons of tips and made the planning as simple as reading an email. The vacation planners took over after I gave them the details of what I wanted.
My original goal was to stay at one of Disney’s value resorts to save. The issue was my large group of 7 people traveling with me. A standard room with 2 double beds or 1 king sized bed was going to start at $82 a night and boasted views of the parking lot. It was equipped with a tv, small desk and chair, hairdryer and vanity area with sink outside the actual bathroom. I would need two rooms to accommodate all of us and would be sticking two people in a double sized bed in two different rooms for a total (with taxes) around $1260 for just over a week of accommodations for one room.
Better options are out there. The idea of sharing a double sized bed didn’t scream comfort or vacation, but it was one of the more affordable options I found on my own with the typical tools out there. Enter my amazing travel planner. For a far more reasonable nightly rate my Dolphin World of Travel planner scored a two bedroom suite at the lovely Lake Eve resorts for nearly HALF of what Disney’s Value resorts’ bill for ONE room. Same amount of nights and same taxes.
I was a bit nervous that such a huge savings would mean sacrifice in level of accommodations. My worries were completely unfounded. My suite was clean, had one bedroom with a king sized bed and a second bedroom with two queen sized beds. A huge flat screen tv was in each bedroom (and in the living room). A private bathroom with a jetted tub and separate tiled shower, double vanity and TWO closets was in the master bedroom while a separate bathroom was just outside of the second bathroom that also had a closet in the restroom and a linen closet outside of it.
A kitchen was filled with pots, pans, silverware, bowls, cups and a dishwasher to put them in. A deep sink sat under a pull-out spray kitchen faucet and a full refrigerator with in door ice-maker and water dispenser that blew away the value resort mini fridge (available for an extra fee from Disney). We even had a dining room table to eat at and a washer and dryer. The view didn’t involve parking lots. In fact, no suite overlooks the parking area. The building’s U shape gave everyone a view of the courtyard pool or the lake sitting in front of it. A large in ground hot tub and even a concrete baby pool were available for those who aren’t a fan of the cool pool. Every large balcony (fit 4 patio chairs and mini two tables easily with room to spare) had a great view even from the second floor where palm trees welcomed me with my coffee every morning.
The location was perfect. Lake Eve is on International drive which is minutes from SeaWorld, Aquatica, Universal Studios, Wet N’ Wild, Prime Outlets, Premium Outlets, tons of stores, shops and restaurants which the I-Ride Trolley stops at. Disney, Epcot and Downtown Disney (home of the yummy Irish pub Raglan Road) is about 15 minutes away. It was still incredibly quiet as it is is somewhat removed from the inner hustle of the heart of Disney/Universal/Sea World mecca.
In short we saved money on a few meals made at the resort, doing laundry on site and taking a trolley to all our International Drive needs. (Note: You will need to take a cab to Disney if you don’t rent a car, as that is the one place the trolley doesn’t take you.) The trolley is free if you arrive at the concierge between 8-9 AM to nab a one day pass for the adults in your group. Kids ride free!
Dining Savings
Here is where those coupon queens can go nuts. Hit up brochure stands. At Lake Eve there is a stand packed with them right in front of the elevators. The I-Ride Trolley pamphlet has TONS of them complete with their trolley stop number on the coupon. Free guides at places like Walgreens (look next to the newspapers) are also at your disposal. My favorite had to be the Orlando Magicard. It’s free and you can print it from home or have one sent to you. Show your card at participating stores, restaurants and attractions and you will instantly save. Pair that with days kids eat free at certain restaurants (at the time of my travel kids ate free at Tony Roma’s on Tuesdays) and you can save a ton.
Shopping Savings
The Orlando Magicard gives you the opportunity to score a nice coupon book from the information centers in the outlets. Show your Magicard to someone working the info desk at the outlets you at and they will hand over a book or voucher full of coupons. Most are a percentage off and some have save ten to twenty dollars of a specified purchase amount.
Attractions
There are many options to score discount tickets. Be wary of stands and stores offering cheap tickets. They usually require you to sit through a time share lecture or simply aren’t legit. Ask if they are a certified retailer if you will receive actual tickets or just a voucher for the ticket. If they just give vouchers… pass. You will still have to wait in a ticket line once you get to the park to receive your actual ticket. Obviously pre-buying them defeats the time saving point if you don’t get the actual ticket. Visit the site themselves and see if any promos are taking place. SeaWorld is currently running a discount on children’s tickets. You can score a $5 children’s 1-Day pass with the purchase of an adult ticket.

Shane Harper began dancing and acting at the age of 9. He was involved in community theater and competitive dance. In the spring of 2006, a talent agent on the judging panel of a regional dance competition offered him agency representation. He is on a few Nickelodeon shows, and a recurring guest star on the show ‘Good Luck Charlie‘ on Disney. He was also part of ‘High School Musical 2‘ as a principal dancer. He will be in 2 feature films coming out in 2010: “My Name is Khan,” and a Rob Reiner/Warner Bros. project called “Flipped.” Singing in church all of his life, Shane continues to nurture his love for music. He has a new single, “Dance With Me” (you can listen to that here) and his album due out this summer. Recently, I had the chance to ask Shane about his music, his inspirations, and the direction he’s hoping to go in. You can read about it below.
When did you first realize you had an interest in music and what sparked that interest?
I’ve always loved music and I grew up singing in church. I started doing worship for a special needs Sunday school class when I was about 12.How did you break into the music industry?
I was contacted through a friend to meet with Adam Anders. Adam had listened to my original songs and covers on my music MySpace and he offered me a music development deal.How would you describe the sound of your music, and what makes you feel like your album is different from the other artists in your genre?
I think it has mostly an acoustic-pop vibe-kind of Jason Mraz meets Justin Timberlake. As far as distinction goes, there are so many talented artists and each one is unique because we all have different personalities that we put into our music and performances. Besides that fact, I am also a professional dancer and I think that adds to my performance capability.What are some of your plans for promoting your music – do you plan on doing some touring?
Right now I’m just getting my music out there and hope that people respond well. I would absolutely love to tour as soon as possible.Musically speaking, what are some of your short term and long term goals you have lined out for yourself? What are your hopes for the upcoming year?
This year for sure I would like to complete my full length album and then at least be in consideration for opening for someone amazing on tour! A long-term goal for music would be to have a Platinum Record on my wall, of course! haha And then just to keep making music that touches people and makes people feel things…for the rest of my life.Lyrically speaking, where do your song inspirations come from? Is it easy for you to sit down and write lyrics, or is it a bit of a challenge sometimes?
I write music with my guitar in hand and usually when I feel inspired, it flows pretty quickly. I might have to go back and refine it and work it a bit but it is pretty much all there at the beginning. I write about things I feel and things I have experienced. Occasionally there are particular people attached to a song, but I won’t share that part. lol[Keep Clicking Thumbnails for a Larger Image]

Has Taylor Lautner found another project to sink his teeth into? Rumor has it that the “Twilight” star may be the frontrunner to play the title role in Paramount’s “Max Steel,” based on Mattel’s action figure toy line. Lautner would play Josh McGrath, a 19-year-old extreme-sports athlete who is accidentally exposed to the unleashed power of nanotechological machines, which become part of him and give him increased strength, near-invulnerability and the ability to change his appearance. The Max Steel toy line first came out in 1999 and was shortly after turned into a CG-animated television series that ran from 2000-02. It also later spawned a video game and five animated movies, as well as the “Turbo Missions” series of one-minute clips that ran on the Cartoon Network last year. It’s worth noting that Paramount and other studios are eager to cast Lautner because he can bring young women into theaters, which works in his favor for this movie. Its no secret that Lautner is a huge celebrity right now, but his only other project in addition to the upcoming “Twilight” sequel “Eclipse” is a role in the romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day.” But that has already wrapped filming, so the actor has nothing on his calendar at the moment except for an upcoming hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live” next weekend.
In other related news, rumors are buzzing around the Internet today that Robert Pattinson is in talks with with director Robert Zemeckis to play legendary Beatle John Lennon in Disney’s 3-D remake of the classic cartoon “Yellow Submarine.” The original 1968 animated feature film is based on the music of “The Beatles.” However, the real members of the famous group only appeared in the closing scene of the film, with the Beatles characters in the film voiced by other actors. The new film is reportedly going to be set in Pepperland, an undersea paradise protected by Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. When the band are captured by the music-hating Blue Meanies, a soldier is sent to Liverpool to fetch the fab four, who hop in the submarine and save the day. The script has also been written by Zemeckis with a targeted 2012 release schedule. Also in the near future for Pattinson are the movies “Bel Ami” and the western “Unbound Captives” in addition to “Eclipse,” the third movie in the “Twilight” saga.
However, nothing has been confirmed as of now about Lautner’s or Pattinson’s involvement in the films. I personally think both boys have what it takes to fill the roles mentioned. While I’m definitely a Twi-hard, it would be nice to see them step away and branch out from the franchise.

Oh this looks fantastic! Disneys “The Princess and the Frog” is an animated family feature film loosely based on E.D. Baker’s novel “The Frog Princess” and the Grimm brothers’ “The Frog Prince.” Set in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a prince named Naveen from the land of Maldonia is transformed into a frog by the evil scheming voodoo magician Dr. Facilier. The frog prince mistakes a girl named Tiana for a princess and has her kiss him to break the spell. While the kiss doesn’t break the spell, it instead turns Tiana into a frog, too. Together, the two of them must reach the good voodoo priestess of the Bayou, Mama Odie, while befriending a trumpet-playing alligator and a hopelessly romantic firefly along the way. The film will open in limited release in New York and Los Angeles on November 25th before expanding into wide release on December 11th.
The film’s soundtrack “The Princess and the Frog: Original Songs and Score” will be released November 23rd. It contains seven instrumental pieces and ten original songs, including the pop theme song “Never Knew I Needed” contributed by Ne-Yo. The music video for the song is directed by Melina and will premiere online in the near future. Four time Grammy Award Winning composer Randy Newman also composed and directed the rest of the songs on the album.
Anika Noni Rose (the voice of Princess Tiana) and Walt Disney Pictures is giving fans an early treat with a sneak peak of the soundtrack to “The Princess and the Frog.” Watch the exclusive featurette above to hear some of the movies’ music and to learn why Princess Tiana’s song will set her apart from past princesses. You can also listen to exclusive snippets from the soundtrack here, then head on over to Amazon to preorder your copy of what will surely be one of the years best movie soundtracks.
There’s no way this won’t be an awesome movie and a beautiful soundtrack. The feeling I get anticipating this film and seeing the warmth put into it is indescribable. This is what Disney is all about.
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom aren’t the only ones to sign away their life as they know it this past weekend! “My Name is Earl” actress Jaime Pressly married entertainment lawyer boyfriend Simran Singh this past Saturday. The couple exchanged their wedding vows around 6pm in front of family and friends at the estate of Dick Clark in Malibu on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This was the same spot as Adam Sandlers 2003 wedding. Pressly wore a dress by British designer Jenny Packham.
Justin Guarini’s wedding was another celebrity marriage that took place over weekend. The season 1 runner up on “American Idol” and “The Simpsons” Side Show Bob look alike married fiancee Reina Capodici in a private wedding on Saturday evening in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, at an estate that overlooks the Delaware river. The couple wrote their own vows and shared their words amongst their 50 guests, which included family and friends.
Per People:
“Justin is one of the most deserving people of happiness and love,” Kimberly Caldwell, Guarini’s co-host on the TV Guide Network’s Idol Tonight, tells PEOPLE. “I know he will be an amazing hubby.”
The couple became engaged back in December in Orlando while Guarini was at Disney’s EPCOT Center filming for the American Idol Experience ride at the theme park. Congratulations to both happy couples!
