It's Not Gossip, It's Commentary
“Wow! What a tempest in a teapot. My comments regarding The Golden Globes have been blown way out of proportion. My passion for our film Gnomeo & Juliet and belief in Elton‘s song really got my emotional juices going. But I must say for the record that I do believe Madonna is a great artist, and that Elton and I wish her all the best for next week’s premiere of the film W.E.” Elton John’s husband, David Furnish, casually dismissing the fact that he’s a sore loser.

“This is a wonderful way to redo my song. I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was… interesting.” Madonna on the striking similarities between Lady Gaga’s Born This Way and Madonna’s Express Yourself.
“I’m healed up from my fabulous stage drive in Australia. To dispel a few rumors, I wasn’t drunk and there wasn’t a beautiful girl in the audience that caused me to walk off. When I woke up I said, “Was it a heart attack or a stroke?” I was very happy when they said, “No, you had a concussion. You just walked off the stage like a Miss America contestant.” Weirdly, my tennis game got better afterward.” Jimmy Buffet, on his well-publicized stage fall during his Sydney concert.
“This last film was literally, without question, the most unpleasant experience I’ve ever had in my professional life. It’s safe to say I won’t be working with some of those people ever again. Not the actors. And the director [Mike Mitchell] was great. We got along. There were a couple of people, though…it was just a really awful, unpleasant experience.” Arrested Development star, David Cross, on his recent experience filming Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked.
“The joy of being with someone isn’t in the being loved, the joy is in the loving. Sure it’s nice when it’s reciprocated, but it’s fun to have a crush on someone . . . even if it turns out months later that it wasn’t as real as [you] thought . . . .” Adam King of MTV’s The Challenge: Rivals, on his brief hook-up with fellow contestant, Jenn Grijalva.
“I really wish they’d do away with that. Lying to children and telling them that there’s a guy named Santa and it really exists and you have to look your kid in your eye and lie. Kids are scared out of their minds by that story. There’s nothing comforting about a guy in a red outfit breaking into your house and doing weird sh*t.” The Jewish Howard Stern on Robin Robinson, an anchor at Fox Chicago, having to apologize for telling children there’s no Santa.
“‘Ooh I want to be alone.’ F*** you! We’ve been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta and now you want some privacy? They’re worth millions. I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with but now look at them. You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f***ing idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?'” Daniel Craig on the Kardashians
“Even if I had a really good figure, I don’t think I’d get my tits and ass out for no one. I love seeing Lady Gaga’s boobs and bum. I love seeing Katy Perry’s boobs and bum. Love it. But that’s not what my music is about. I don’t make music for eyes. I make music for ears.” Adele on whether being in the spotlight makes her concerned about her weight.
