Kelly Osbourne’s Memo to Miley Cyrus: “Put Your Tongue Away”

Kelly Osbourne is nothing if not consistent. After astutely calling Lady Gaga a copy cat for her “Girl With a Dragon Tattoo” look, she’s now done the same with Miley Cyrus, labeling her unoriginal for ironically wearing a similar look to Lady Gaga’s egg costume during the Video Music Awards. She also critiqued her performance, with a specific request for the provocative pop tart to “put her tongue in her mouth.” Watch below.

Will Smith’s Family — Miley Cyrus VMA Reaction is a Hoax

It was fun while it lasted. As it turns out, Will Smith’s family didn’t ogle at Miley Cyrus. In fact, the infamous reaction was actually for Lady Gaga, and it wasn’t a negative reaction at all. Jaden Smith’s furrowed eyebrows were really just concentration, and Willow Smith was chewing gum. I suppose there’s a real lesson here. Just about anyone can be portrayed as just about anything when the context is removed. Watch the video below.

Justin Timberlake on Miley Cyrus: “I Approve”

Despite the controversy, Miley Cyrus has a new fan in her corner. Timberlake voiced his approval, saying “It’s the VMAs. It’s not like she did it at the Grammys.” He also referenced Madonna and Britney’s previous performances and said he thought “all the bears were really cool.” Listen below.

Robin Thicke’s Mother Didn’t Like Miley Cyrus? Watch Her Performance Now.

“I didn’t get what her point was. It was so over the top as to almost be a parody of itself.” Robin Thicke’s mother (and Days of our Lives star), Gloria Loring, on Cyrus’ performance at the Video Music Awards. I think that says it all, don’t you? Watch below to see Miley Cyrus’ much talked about performance. As an aside, can someone teach Miley Cyrus some additional choreography? That’s a lot of time on stage to simply throw your hands forward and wag your tongue.

Taylor Swift Disses Harry Styles at the VMAs — Thanks Him for Her Moon Man

If Taylor Swift isn’t careful, she’s going to end up a Bitter Betty in a very shallow dating pool. While accepting her 2013 VMA for ‘I Knew You Were Trouble,” Swift said, “I also wanna thank the person who inspired this song who knows exactly who he is because, now I got one of these.” Hasn’t it been months since she split with Harry Styles, and didn’t they date for all of two minutes? When Harry Styles is asked about Swift, he’s unconditionally complimentary, despite her smear campaign. Why must her jabs be so literal? Perhaps she should take notes from Carly Simon, whose “You’re so vain” subject is still in contention. And given that she also mouthed, “Shut the fu*k up,” during their acceptance speech, I’d implore her to up her class factor quickly.

N SYNC Reunion — It Happened!!

After much anticipation and endless rumors, fans everywhere rejoiced at the sight of N SYNC during Sunday’s VIdeo Music Awards. As for the content and quality, it’s fair to say Timberlake killed it, and the others are . . . a little rusty. But I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Speaking of gift horses, I was hoping for a longer reunion beside his former bandmates, but I’m sure Timberlake wants to be careful about distracting from his newly branded image that’s he’s worked hard to solidify.

Lamar Odom’s Drug Abuse — Did the Kardashians Leak This Story?

khloe Kardashian, Lamar OdomDespite popular opinion, TMZ is a credible entertainment news outlet. Its founder, Harvey Levin, is an attorney, and as an attorney, he’s well aware of defamation, and a slew of other causes of action related to lying or publishing inaccurate information. So when TMZ exposed Lamar Odom’s alleged drug abuse, I immediately hypothesized the source of the leak, and all signs point to the Kardashians. How else would they know that Khloe Kardashian hired a private investigator who “stood guard” outside Lamar’s rehab facility? This certainly could have come from a reliable “friend,” but TMZ is far too smart to risk legal liability unless it came from the Kardashians themselves.

And now for my larger point. If the Kardashians did in fact leak this, then I’m inundated with unfavorable adjectives that I will leave out of this article. Why would anyone think its okay to publicly expose someone’s drug addiction? Lamar Odom has his own career, his own children, and his own family to worry about, and this revelation does nothing to ensure his recovery. If it’s a PR move to preempt a divorce fallout from the cheating rumors flying around, then it’s nothing short of evil. Perhaps I’m wrong. I realize they all willingly chose to expose their private lives for public gain. But there’s a line in the sand, and if I’m right, this crossed it.
