Tom Cruise Promotes Oblivion — Press Perfect

There are no words to describe my undying love for Tom Cruise, whose press life has taken a favorable turn since his divorce. And as usual, the guy has a hit on his hands with Oblivion, which, in true Tom Cruise fashion, is on top of the box office. He’s a consummate movie star with a much-deserved following. Watch two very funny interviews below.

American Idol Wanted to Sack Mariah for JLO?! Say It Ain’t So!!!!

20130405-155445.jpgA new report from The Hollywood Reporter indicates that American Idol producers recently scrambled to oust Mariah Carey mid-season and replace her with the recently departed Jennifer Lopez. I find this particularly interesting, especially considering the real ratings threat comes from Nicki Minaj, but perhaps the producers feel the opposite. And since Mariah comes with a hefty cost, I suppose it makes sense to can her. That being said, she’d still have to be paid out for the remainder of the season, so cost-cutting can’t be the real motivation. Perhaps she is in fact a behind-the-scenes diva and they’re done with her? Given her recent comments about “the powers that be” over at FOX, it’s not a shocking theory. Whether it’s true or not, that show better act fast. Because star-power is clearly not what’s missing.

Sharon on Ozzy Osbourne’s Drug Addiction: “We’re Dealing With It”

What if the Osbournes had never ventured into the fame game? Their entire empire would still surround Ozzy as a musician, and Sharon and her children would be unknown entitles with day jobs. It’s certainly not ideal for an addict’s private life to get a public spotlight.Though I think they should have stayed anonymous, you can’t unring the bell. Watch Sharon’s recount of Ozzy’s relapse.

Quote of the Day — Ke$ha Drinks Her Own Urine

“I’m also just one that doesn’t shy away from things. I’m not good at saying ‘no’ so I just figure, fuck it, I’ll try anything once. So I tried it. I wouldn’t recommend it. It was pretty gross. And I don’t think it really did anything very beneficial to me so, yeah, I wouldn’t probably do it again.” “Singer” Ke$ha, on drinking her own urine.

Khloe Kardashian Axed From X Factor

Despite her status as America’s favorite Kardashian, it appears her bubble has burst and Fox didn’t renew her contract. There’s a lesson to be learned here. First, fame and talent don’t always coincide. Second, this is the beginning of the end for the Kardashian klan, whose fame train began to derail after Kim’s 72 day marriage. Fear not, though. The robot-inspired Mario Lopez is set to return.

Reese Witherspoon & Husband Arrested — The End of an Era

Reese WitherspoonWell, folks, it’s the end of a squeaky clean era for the untouchable actress, who has managed to fly through most media storms unscathed. According to multiple sources, Witherspoon’s husband was arrested on suspicion of a DUI after allegedly driving in the wrong lane, and Witherspoon allegedly ignored cops’ instructions to stay inside her vehicle which subsequently led to arrest for disorderly conduct.  When I first read this headline I assumed this was paparazzi driven, given my hatred for DUIs and my love for the actress. This sure is disappointing.
