Ellen DeGeneres will join Idol panelMan of a million jobs Ryan Seacrest says that the new American Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres will change the “sexual tension” on the show.

The host is very pleased that the openly gay star is joining the judging panel—which also includes Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi—because she will bring a new dynamic to the series.

“We love Ellen, she is a superstar. She will change the sexual tension. Simon and Paula had a specific sort of tension, but this will be quite different.”

Although Ryan is excited about Ellen’s arrival, judge Randy insists she has a lot to learn from himself, Simon and Kara: “She’ll be following my lead, I’ve told her to watch the dog.”

Ellen is taking Paula Abdul‘s spot on the TV talent show, and will join the panel after the audition rounds are completed.

“This is so exciting for me. Hopefully, I will be the people’s point of view because I’m just like everyone at home, I sit their and I watch it. I’m not looking at it in a critical way from the producer’s mind. I’m looking at it as a person who is going to buy the music and is going to relate to that person,” Ellen said.

Jay-Z and Chris MartinJay-Z wants yoga lessons from Chris Martin.

The “99 Problems” rapper has been supporting Chris’s band Coldplay on tour and admits that he is envious of the singer’s on-stage flexibility and wants to be able to mimic his movements.

The hip-hop star, who is good friends with Chris and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, said, “I try and work out four times a week—cardio, weights, push ups, pull ups—but I haven’t for a month because of vacation and touring. Chris hasn’t tried to get me to do yoga yet, but I am close to doing it.  I’m envious of what he can do on stage. Watching him is amazing, he can really move. I want to be able to move like that, get my leg behind my ear, things like that.”

The rapper, who is married to Beyonce Knowles, enjoys life on the road but admits he misses his home comforts: “I miss my bed, the comfort of your own bed, there’s nothing like it. I only trust my own sheets. I don’t take my own with me though.”


Josh Kelley and new baby Naleigh Katherine Heigl‘s husband thinks that their adopted baby is “awesome.” At least now we can rest assured that they don’t plan on returning her.

Musician Josh Kelley gushed about Nancy Leigh, a 10-month-old Korean girl with special needs he and Katherine adopted earlier this month, during a concert on Ohio on Friday night.

On the verge of tears, Josh shouted, “We adopted a baby from Korea, me and my girl, and she’s awesome, dude! This girl is the bomb!”

Earlier in the week, Josh sung a song he wrote about the baby—nicknamed ‘Naleigh’—at a performance at Miami University. It included the lines, “Just to see you in mommy’s arms is all I need.”

Katherine, 30, was “thrilled” to welcome Nancy into her home, revealing that she has wanted to adopt a Korean baby since she was a child: “It’s been a big part of my life and my family. My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the 1970s and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do. I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen. Not everybody is down with that, not everybody thinks that.”


Madonna always loved candyThe Queen of Pop had strong ambitions when she was a teenager, especially her dream of working in a candy store.

Madonna, who now follows a strict diet and exercise regime, was so “obsessed” with sweet treats as a teenager that she wanted to get a job selling them.

“My dream was always to work in a candy store. It was because of my obsession with candy. I’m not obsessed anymore, now that my teeth are all rotten! I did go to a university for a year and there was a candy shop that I used to go to all the time, an old-fashioned one where all the candy was in these big glass jars. I used to go in there and look at all the candy and think, ‘God, it would be really cool to work in here; I could have candy whenever I wanted.’”

However, the singer’s ambitions changed when she moved to New York in the ‘70s and decided that she wanted to be a pop star, no matter what it took: “When I moved to the Big Apple, that was when I knew that that’s what I was going to do—be a singer and a songwriter and an entertainer. I didn’t care if I had to starve, and live in a room with five guys, and wash in a sink; that was what I’m going to do. And because I lived a pretty dismal life and I didn’t care.”

Taylor Swift walks out of interviewThe media may not stop talking about Kanye West’s VMA incident; however, Taylor Swift has had enough, walking out of an interview after being prodded about the event one too many times.

Interviewing on a Tampa Bay radio station, Taylor answered to three questions regarding Kanye before storming off—the last being one where the interviewer suggested that the incident was staged.

“I really would appreciate if we could talk about something else—because I’ve asked you three times now. I’m trying to be nice about it. Because it’s not something that we need to spend this whole interview talking about.”

The DJ’s last words before Taylor walked off? “It’s good for your career though… Because you are the hero here and he is the zero.”

Major kudos to Taylor—I have no idea how she maintains her composure and class in all of this.

Madonna and Michael JacksonSo if Madonna and Michael Jackson were good friends, why did we never hear a collaboration out of it? The Queen of Pop thought found the King to be “too shy.”

The “Revolver” singer spent weeks working with the King of Pop several years ago, but never recorded a duet with him because Michael was scared of Madonna’s “provocative” music.

“We spent a chunk of time together, and became friends, but it never happened. I wrote a bunch of words and presented them to him, and he didn’t want to go there. He didn’t want to be provocative. And I said, ‘Well, why come to me?’ I mean, that’s like asking Quentin Tarantino to not put any violence in his films. I felt like he was too inhibited, too shy.”

Madonna paid tribute to Michael in an emotional speech at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month. Even though she used the occasion to “say goodbye” to her old friend, the star admits that she can’t stop thinking about Michael, and the torment he faced at the hands of the media.

Katie Price burst into tears when her rapist asked her for oral sex at a partyKatie Price‘s rapist asked her to perform another sex act just months after he sexually assaulted her.

The glamour model, who claims that she was raped by a “famous celebrity” in London’s West End several years ago, burst into tears when her attacker approached her at a party and demanded oral sex.

The 31-year-old beauty, known as Jordan, told a friend, “He said ‘How about a b***j**’. I was horrified and burst into tears. Now every time I see his face on TV I shudder. It brings back such horrible memories.”

A pal added, “He had been leering at her all night. She was disgusted. He just came straight out with it and asked for oral sex. He was obviously a man used to getting his own way.”

Katie, whose divorce to singer Peter Andre will be finalized in four weeks, has revealed she voluntarily went to bed with her attacker, who turned “very dark” and violent when she didn’t want to have sex.

The source explained, “She said she had gone to bed with the bloke and then things turned very, very dark. She said, ‘No’, and that she didn’t want to continue. She told me, ‘He just wouldn’t take no for answer’. She didn’t want to go to the police because she didn’t want to have to go through it all with strangers.”


Megan Fox is afraid of flying

While we’ve definitely heard a plethora of crazy things from her, Megan Fox now shares that she doesn’t fly on a plan without Britney Spears:

“I developed that (a fear of flying) when I turned 20. All of a sudden I got really afraid to get on airplanes. I had to come up with a way to deal with it because I didn’t want to have panic attacks every time I get on a plane. I know for a fact it’s not in my destiny to die listening to a Britney Spears album, so I always put that on in my (headphones) when I’m flying because I know it won’t crash if I’ve got Britney on.”

Talk about preventative measures…

Chris Brown Twitters about his missing RihannaChris Brown has publicly pleaded for Rihanna to give him another chance.

The 20-year-old singer, who assaulted his on/off girlfriend in February and was recently sentenced to five years probation and six months community labor, has romantically reached out to the “Umbrella” signer online.

He wrote on Twitter, “MY HEART IS INCOMPLETE… the part that is complete is my love for fans, career, friends, family… God. But I’m missing someone or something (sic).”

To ensure it was clear who he was referring to, Chris posted a link to a version of his new song “Changed Man” on YouTube, which features a series of pictures of him and Rihanna together. Among the photographs are several of the couple, who dated for around 18 months, kissing and cuddling, and others of them laughing and whispering to each other.

Chris added on Twitter, “Sorry all, just one of those days.”
