Toni Braxton Quits Music: “My Heart’s Not In It”

Something tells me Toni Braxton’s retirement declaration is less about her heart and more about the music industry’s current inability to produce income. It’s a desert out there, and unless you can pack stadiums, you just can’t generate the same revenue of years past. Perhaps she’ll feel inspired when things recover. Watch below.

Calvin Klein’s Matthew Terry Likes Blondes — The Dishmaster is Broken-Hearted

Well, you can’t have everything. Matthew Terry appeared on Ellen, and he disclosed a devastating revelation. He likes blondes. My dreams of carting him around on my arm as my boy-toy are dashed. Watch below.

Mariah Carey v. Nicki Minaj — The Digs Continue

My tolerance for this American Idol panel has hit an all-time low. First, Mariah Carey is a legend whose been relegated to taking digs from NIcki Minaj, who executes them at every possible chance. Mariah should be ushered in on a damn throne with minions fanning her and serving her water, not quietly letting Minaj take the reigns on a talent show that’s far past its prime. If I were Mariah, I’d step up not out. I’d do what JLO did and assume my status, not ask for it. I’d walk out like I owned the entire stadium, I’d over-talk Minaj, and I’d demand that the producers let me run the panel by being the first to speak. She’s the QUEEN, and she should be treated as such. Watch Minaj’s dig below.

Dear LeAnn Rimes, Brandi Glanville, & Eddie Cibrian — Grow Up!

20130207-142053.jpgI’ve had it. I launched this blog as a forum to talk about celebrity culture without bullying celebrities. I don’t post paparazzi pictures, and I always attempt to cushion any criticism with a positive take. That being said, I never accounted for the possibility that the celebrities themselves would be the real bullies. The latest online attacks come from LeAnn Rimes, Brandi Glanville, and Eddie Cibrian, who have all made it their mission to destroy each other’s lives. After Glanville released a book attacking her ex and his current wife, Rimes hit back, with accusations that Glanville cheated too. Then Rimes and Cibrian posted a photo mocking Glanville’s book title and have since posted numerous digs on twitter, which I’d repeat if I had the mental capacity to look it up. Do these neanderthals have publicists? If you’re going to cheat, then keep your mouth shut after you do. And if you have children, then don’t publish a book attacking their father. It’s gross. It’s all gross. I’d like for all three clowns to just go away. I’d also like for Radar Online to have some class, and stop providing a forum for these parties to participate in this messy mud-pit.

Snoop Lion Debuts “Here Comes The King”

First he’s a dog, then he’s a lion, and now he’s a king. I’ve never really understood Snoop’s appeal, but I’m willing to admit I might have missed the joke. Watch his new video below. According to his team, it’s associated with his upcoming reincarnated documentary, which will trace the controversial journey of a modern day icon in his spiritual awakening as Snoop Lion.

Tiffani Thiessen Isn’t Happy to See Mr. Belding

Don’t you just hate it when that creepy teacher shows up unannounced? Such was the case with Tiffani Thiessen and Dennis Haskins, who made a surprise appearance on The Today Show to greet Thiessen. It’s clear she wasn’t pleased. And furthermore, I’m curious how/if she agreed to the segment at all. She’s been trying to escape her Kelly Kapowski image for years, and Haskins has always been happy to publicly embrace it. Watch below.

Donald Trump Sues Bill Maher — Proved He’s Not a Monkey

Even though Donald Trump is my favorite Howard Stern guest in history, I will put my bias aside to admonish him for what I believe to be one of the most gratuitous lawsuits in history. Here’s the nutshell story: Bill Maher offered Trump $5 million to provide his birth certificate as proof that he’s not “the spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan.” Trump coughed it up, and now he wants the money. The lawyer in me knows two things for sure. First, our country is litigious enough, and this is a poorly executed pissing match. And second, Maher’s joke was not a legitimate “offer.” Sure that’s my opinion, but I’m certain first year law students all over the country would welcome such an easy hypothetical in their contracts law class.
