Lady Gaga Called a Drug-Glorifying "Slut" By Staten Island Borough President

James P. Molinaro just pissed off 25 million Little Monsters and possibly women everywhere. The Staten Island borough president called Lady Gaga a slut yesterday. In what context, you ask?

To kick off an anti-drug abuse initiative, Molinaro showed off a poster-sized photo of Gaga smoking marijuana on stage in Amsterdam (where it is legal) this month. He said: "We have to understand there's a tremendous influence with our youth, which I didn't have as a youth. And there's the influence right there. Stop glorifying drug use." "There's Gaga. Here's this ... I'd call her a slut. This slut is influencing many, many children." Putting aside his point about marijuana and the obvious counterpoints - weed is legal in the Netherlands, so she broke no laws, and if you don't want Gaga influencing your kids, don't send them to Gaga concerts - the use of "slut" is beyond absurd. Not according to Molinaro, though. He looked it up! "Looking up the word 'slut' to see if it was properly used before I used it, it said 'improper conduct,'" Molinaro told the New York Times. "Now, isn't it improper for someone who is so high profile to be smoking reefer in front of children? I have grandnieces that idolize her - 12 and 13 years old - and it's ridiculous." "You see these young girls walking around on Halloween with her outfit on." http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/videos/lady-gaga-smokes-weed-on-stage/ It's true that the Random House dictionary definition notes that in the 15th century, the word was used to describe "a woman given to immoral or improper conduct." However, here in 2012, it implies sexual promiscuity, something Gaga has never been associated with; she's in a monogamous relationship with Chicago Fire's Taylor Kinney now. Molinaro lost his son to an overdose in 2006, and one can certainly respect his anti-drug efforts as a public official to spare other families that unthinkable tragedy. Nevertheless, his word choice makes unfair assumptions about Lady Gaga's private life and perpetuates misogyny, while singling out a relatively harmless incident no less. Meanwhile, "slut" Lady Gaga revealed her ongoing struggle with eating disorders and offering support to young men and women who might be experiencing devastating body issues. What a horrible individual.

Lindsay Lohan: ARRESTED For Hit-and-Run on Pedestrian!

Channeling her inner Amanda Bynes, Lindsay Lohan was arrested this morning for leaving the scene of an accident after allegedly hitting a pedestrian in N.Y. City. According to TMZ, LiLo was pulling in to park her Porsche Cayenne near the Dream Hotel in downtown Manhattan when she drove into a guy's knee at low speed. This was around shortly after midnight this morning. Lindsay and her crew proceeded to enter the hotel, but somebody called the police, and when the actress walked out around 2:30 a.m., officers arrested her.

LL was booked for leaving the scene of an accident (a misdemeanor) and then released with a ticket. She didn't have to pay bail before she was cut loose. The alleged victim was hospitalized, but was not knocked down or dragged by the car, and had no visible injuries from the crash. Alcohol was not involved. Once again, the possibility of a probation violation is in play for Lindsay Lohan, who is required to obey all laws as a condition of her jewel theft sentence. Even without a conviction, Judge Stephanie Sautner could throw her ass in jail if there is probable cause that a crime was committed; this is unlikely, however. Sautner is tough but fair, and not likely to throw the book at Lohan without letting the situation play out in N.Y. Still, this mess is on thin ice yet again. Still want to call out the system for going easy on Amanda, Lindsay?

Chris Zylka and Lucy Hale Split, Actor Tweets Bitterness Toward Ex

Chris Zylka and Lucy Hale have broken up. The actor and actress, who started dating in March, confirmed the split this week via Twitter. Not overly unusual for a couple in Hollywood, right? Except that the former Secret Circle star has also taken to that social network to express clear bitterness toward his ex.

"Don't have a girlfriend -- she decided she was too good," Zylka wrote, adding:"Never any disrespect towards anyone. Only if you say what you say you should stick to it. If you say you love then love." OUCH! ZING! The Pretty Little Liars actress has remained quiet about the split, but was forced to respond to rumors this week that she was actually dating Teen Wolf hunk Colton Haynes. "I've known him from my Privileged days, from The CW," Hale said of talk that she and Haynes were recently spotted together. "I don't meet a lot of genuine people in my life and he's a special kind of person, and I try to surround myself with people like that."

Kate Middleton Topless Scandal Ruling: French Court Demands Closer Destroy Pics

A French court has ruled in favor of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge regarding the Kate Middleton topless pics in Closer magazine, prohibiting all publication. However, the ruling does not apply to other magazines - Italy's Chi and Ireland's Daily Star have also ran with the topless and nude photos - outside of France. There's also the widespread dissemination of the photos via the Internet.

evertheless, the court called the invasion of Kate and Prince William's privacy a "brutal display" and ordered Closer to immediately turn over all copies of the pics. That includes digital copies. Failure to do so means a $13,100 fine. Per day. The palace has also filed a criminal complaint against those responsible for the Kate Middleton pictures ... whoever that might be. The photographer is still unknown. Whoever it was took the photos of Kate Middleton topless from a LONG distance away. As she sunbathed on the balcony of a French chateau with Prince William, Kate clearly had NO idea anyone was watching during their holiday at a private residence.

Kate Middleton, Prince William File Criminal Complaint Over Topless Pictures

Days after launching an injunction in a civil case against Closer magazine, Kate Middleton and Prince William have filed a criminal complaint in a French court.
Seeking justice against those who disseminated Kate Middleton topless photos last week, the complaint asks prosecutors to charge the paparazzo behind the shots.
Of course, there was no name listed in the royals' criminal complaint, as it's unclear who was responsible for taking the pics published in the celebrity gossip mag.

                     


Under French law, those convicted of violating Will and Kate's privacy - the unnamed paparazzo and Closer's editor, in theory - could face thousands of euros in fines.
A possible one-year jail sentence is also on the table, albeit unlikely.
As it happened, Closer removed the pics from its website on Friday shortly after being sued, and before the criminal complaint was even filed by the royals.
However, Closer's Italian sister publication, Chi, ran a 26-page spread today of Kate Middleton nude and topless images, many of them the same as Closer's.
A statement released by Mondadori, the group that owns Chi and Closer, defended the decisions made by the respective editors to run a report on the pictures:
"The publisher respects the arguments put forward by the editors."
Watch Closer's editor stand by the decision after the jump ...

Emily Maynard GUSHES Over Jef Holm

Jef Holm and Emily Maynard have certainly been put to the test ever since The Bachelorette ended, but so far, they have passed that test with flying colors.
Between rumors of Emily cheating and the ever-present Bachelor curse (i.e. no one on the show actually stays together), things may not have looked good.
Good thing is, no one bothered to tell them that.

              


Not only are they not breaking up, they can't stand to be apart, according to E! News, which heard it from the southern belle and Jef Holm themselves last week.
Said Emily Maynard of her husband-to-be:
"It's so crazy how easy it is for me to be around him and um, you're with somebody a lot and you're together a lot and they start to get on your nerves a little bit."
"He does not get on my nerves! We can be together all the time and only leave each other to go to the bathroom, and I will miss him while I'm in the bathroom."
Safe to say she's probably not sexting other men with that kind of mentality. As far as a wedding goes, that is still in the plans; Jef just moved to Charlotte.
She did have something to say about his upcoming bachelor party, joking that ideally, it'll take place on "An all men's island where they do a lot of reading."
Not sure about that, Em, but we wouldn't worry about Jef. In other news, ABC is poised to name one of Emily's finalists Sean Lowe The Bachelor this winter.

Blake Lively Wedding Ring: Revealed!

In the week since Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds exchanged vows, their fans have seen next to nothing of the gorgeous, super-private newlyweds ... until now!
Check out this photo that surfaced of the two of them kissing the day after they got married in South Carolina. They look very much happy and in love.
Also, it looks like Blake's wedding ring is not small ...


                     


The ring, which was designed by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, has not been present in any photos from the set of Gossip Girl, which Blake films in New York.
Then again, Serena's not married ... at least not at the moment.
Coincidentally, a secret wedding involving Blake's character is the rumored plot of the Oct. 8 premiere! Art imitating life? Not really, but fun. Congrats again!

The Voice Shake-Up: Usher and Shakira to Replace Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green?

The Voice Season 3 just got underway, but is there already a casting shake-up in the works for Season 4? According to a new report, at least, there may well be:
Usher and Shakira are replacing Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green.
Alleged insiders say Shakira and Usher would take the place of Christina and Cee Lo alongside Adam Levine and Blake Shelton at the end of the current season.

          


Earlier this month, Aguilera opened up to Ryan Seacrest about the show, admitting she once viewed her job as a coach on The Voice "kind of like a side project."
"[I thought], 'It'll keep me close to my son [Max, 4] in L.A. I don't have to travel," the Grammy winner said. "Then it kind of took off, and there goes my free time!"
The Voice sources say Christina will use her break from the program to focus on tours and promotional duties surrounding the release of her new album, Lotus.
Christina Aguilera's "Your Body", the first single from the upcoming record, is already out. Green, for his part, is currently working with NBC on a new show.
The rumor comes just as speculation surrounding American Idol's revolving door ends: Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban will join Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey as judges.

Kandi Burruss Expands Sex Toy Business

As she tells TMZ herself, The Real Housewives of Atlanta is expanding Bedroom Kandi to home sales, giving customers a chance to hold sex toy parties in their very own living room.

                     

"With Bedroom Kandi, no need to go out, we will bring the party to you and your girls," Burruss says. "Our BK consultants are from across the country and with them we hope to create an entertaining and exciting way for them to become entrepreneurs."

The sex toy shindigs kick off on September 21. Will you slip gently into one?

Lindsay Lohan on Amanda Bynes: Why Isn't SHE in Jail?!

Oft-jailed and always-troubled star Lindsay Lohan wants to know why Amanda Bynes hasn't been placed behind bars for her various driving infractions.
Seriously. Lohan Tweeted this weekend in reference to Bynes: "Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far?"
A fair question ... except coming from a train wreck, compulsive liar and career klepto who's committed probation violations too numerous to count.



  


ndsay Lohan either feels she was scapegoated and she should never had gone to jail, or thinks that she got a fair sentence but Bynes should receive the same.
Somehow we're guessing it's the former.
It's worth noting that Lindsay went to jail only because she violated probation (A LOT) stemming from a DUI conviction. Amanda has been convicted of nothing.
Bynes was arrested for DUI in April and had her license suspended after two hit-and-run incidents, but all cases are pending; her car was impounded Sunday.
Lohan went on to add: "These are the moments that I appreciate my life experiences, living without regrets and Disney for supporting me as an actress-night all*"

Robbie Williams is completely jealous of Harry Styles but pretends he's not

     

Robbie Williams has kind of sort of gone and compared himself to One Direction's Harry Styles.

And though he didn't explicitly come out and said he expects the youngster to get all chunky and follow UFOs around in the near future, he did have some advice for the Second Coming of Rob.

Totally not jealous, or anything

"It's only natural a lad in a boyband will be compared to me at some point," he said, neatly pre-empting those comparisons by making them himself.

And as he creaked back in his easy chair and got all misty eyed over his Take That heyday, he explained to The Sun that before all these new fangled gadgets and Internets and Googles it was much easier for him to slip out of the public eye and party in private.

"It's not a secret any more but I would get off my face and have complete anonymity," he said. "No one had a camera phone so I could go and enjoy myself properly." Yes Rob, but they still hadcameras. How off your face did you get if you forgot that?

Quite

And while Robbie admitted he finds it hard to watch Harry and the One Direction boys enjoying the sort of life he used to lead, he's quite happy in his new role as a family man – partner Ayda Field is due to give birth any day now.

"I’ve got a lot of love for him and One Direction," Robbie explained. "On the pie chart, the love outweighs the bitterness – but the bitterness is in there too." Science.

Bianca Gascoigne crashes out of X Factor auditions

     

Bianca Gascoigne is this week set to add a little much-needed drama to the latest series of The X Factor as she auditions in front of the judges in a bid to prove she isn't just… er… um. Well she was on Celebrity Love Island, once.

And Bianca clearly wanted to prove the doubters – all of them, absolutely every one – wrong, while at the same time add to the family history of chart success first achieved when stepdad Paul scored a 1990 hit with Fog on the Tyne (Revisited).

But yeah: no. Gary Barlow wasn't having any of that.

Surprise

"I love singing and hopefully they can see that when I walk on stage, you know that I really do care and that I'm going to be nervous because it means so much to me," said the DJ and model ahead of her audition.

Once up there she did the whole 'yes, it's me, it's Bianca Gascoigne from off the telly sometimes' routine that she must have to do everywhere she goes, before giving the judges a blast of Mary J Blige's I'm Going Down.

Not very good

But the judges – including usual suspects Gary Barlow and Tulisa as well as unusual suspect Rita Ora – were left unimpressed. And suspect.

"What the other 25-year-olds have is that they've been singing all their lives, seriously singing," said Gary, seriously. "At 25, you should be a lot better than that." It is probably a good time to mention that Bianca is 25.

And she has packed a number of reality TV shows into those 25 little years. As well as appearing on the series of Celebrity Love Island that made her name, Bianca has also featured on Celebrity Coach Trip and Snog, Marry, Avoid. Yeah. What reality TV shows have you been on? Didn't think so.

Sadly, Bianca fans will need to wait until her next reality TV show appearance to see more of Miss Gascoigne –  The X Factor judges turned her down. A savvy media veteran like Bianca might have said "I'm going down" as they did that, but she didn't, she just looked sad. Next time, Bianca. Next time.

Kim Kardashian's Laid Back NYC Hotel Departure

                          

Walking out of her hotel with confidence, Kim Kardashian was spotted in New York City this afternoon (September 15).

Rocking a relaxed hairstyle, the gorgeous 31-year-old star donned a sexy black dress with knee-high boots as she trekked the Big Apple sidewalks.

During her stay, the brunette beauty tweeted a photo of her view from her lavish hotel with the caption, "Room with a view."

Kim was in town with sisters Kourtney and Khloe to promote the Kardashian Kollection at a Sears in Yonkers. During the event, the middle sister tweeted, "WOW the Mayor of Yonkers named today national Kardashian Sister day!!!!! Thanks Yonkers!!!!"

Kourtney & Khloe Kardashian Take On The Big Apple

Carefully shielding her baby from gawkers, Kourtney Kardashian was out on the streets of NYC today (September 15).

The reality star wore a black top and leggings, with a black and white polka-dotted jacket, as she pushed baby Penelope in a stroller covered with a white blanket. Nearby, her sister Khloe walked out of her hotel in a black top, green pants, and strappy flats, as she carried a matching green hat.

At 28-years-old, the youngest Kardashian sister loves playing auntie to niece and nephew Penelope and Mason. But she has been longing for children of her own.

After being spotted visiting a fertility clinic on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," the wife of Lamar Odom recently spoke to "Good Morning America" about her struggles.

"My mom has so many kids, and (my sister) Kourtney pops them out like a PEZ dispenser, so you think it’s, like, so easy. You realize it’s not as easy as you might think. … It was really hard to show what I was going through. I feel like I’m helping a lot of people, but I’m still figuring it out for myself. I do appreciate Kim pushing me to (visit the clinic), because I was kind of like, ‘I just don’t want to know.’ You do have to know. Kim made a good point: ‘You can’t run from your problem.’ So it’s better to know what’s going on.”

Enjoy the pictures of Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian spotted in New York City (September 15).
