With an 80’s aesthetic, killer curves, and some seriously sexy moves, Demi Lovato debuted her “Cool For the Summer” video. Though the lyrics are a tad cliche and the hook gets lost in the mix, it’s certainly an eye-catching watch. I don’t think she has a hit on her hands, but she’s close. Plus, it’s refreshing to see an actually sexy body in a video for once.

Kelly Rutherford Loses Jurisdiction: COURTS HAVE LOST ITS MIND
I’m in complete shock for Kelly Rutherford, whose legal nightmare continues. As a lawyer, an American, and a resident of Calfornia, I can’t believe this has happened, and I can only assume her ex-husband was somehow in the court’s pocket. I don’t know this in any real way, but what could explain this travesty?
For those that don’t know, Kelly’s husband was deported, and the court decided it would be in the best interest of their children to live in France since her husband was unable to visit the United States. Instead of finding a viable solution (such as having the children fly to France for the summer once a year), they decided Kelly should fly to France each and every time she’d like to see her children. As a result of their home abroad, the California courts have now decided that since the kids have only visited the United States once in the last year, they no longer have jurisdiction over the case. Kelly calls this a “legal kidnapping by a California judge forcing my children to live abroad for so long that the other countries seize control over their lives.” I’d have to agree. This is an outrageous, unprecedented decision, and it’s abhorrent.
The media’s reaction should be louder. If a US Court can force chldren to another country, thereby relinquishing all their rights in the United States, what of every other American citizen that marries a foreign man? These children are citizens of the United States.
Nick Viall Picks Out Rings: The Bachelorette Clip
To think that some people go their entire lives without finding true love, and Nick Viall has found it twice, both times curated by ABC, and both times on national television. To be fair, he knew this season’s Bachelorette prior to the show’s start, but he sure is a lucky man with an open heart. Are his intentions pure, or is he seeking to extend those fifteen minutes? Something tells me this guy is getting dumped twice, and he had his heart set on setting himself up as the next Bachelor. Unfortunately for him, it’s looking like a lost cause. Plus, he’s not a fan favorite — to say the least. Watch a clip from the finale below.
Taylor Swift Apologizes to Nicki Minaj: “I Missed the Point”
In case there was ever any doubt about women being drama-filled, exhausting people, Taylor Swift’s new apology to Nicki Minaj serves as confirmation. Nicki insists her VMA call-out had nothing to do with Swift, Katy Perry chimed in to double-down on her “Bad Blood” with the singer, and then Swift caved. I realize that there’s a girls-shouldn’t-attack-girls movement going on, but maybe they should. This is petty and ridiculous, and aside from Kanye West, I don’t see men throwing the same temper tantrums.
I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I’m sorry, Nicki.

Taylor Swift v. Nicki Minaj: A VMA Twitter War
If you’re going to poke your fork in someone’s side and then run away, don’t be surprised when they come at you with a spatula. Because Taylor Swift won’t take a hit lying down, she directly responded to Nicki Minaj’s subtle twitter-dig in response to the MTV VMA nomations, after Minaj said, “If your video celebrates women with slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.” Taylor was swift to respond, saying, “I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.” Minaj seemed flabbergasted by the cantankerous callout, insisting she did not directly mention Swift. Perhaps Nicki felt her hit was more at the process than the person, and in an effort to circumvent a Swiftie revolt, she quickly backtracked.
Here are the facts: Nicki was in fact nominated, but it was not for the category or video she wanted, and she therefore feels slighted. Is the industry racist? Sure it is. But MTV also sucks, so it’s quite possible their poor taste is responsible for any and all oversights. As for why Taylor Swift gets an insane amount of attention, it’s because her brand is impeccable, she’s kind to her fans, and her music is catchy. If you’re going to be salacious and polarizing (see Nicki Minaj’s bad behavior on American Idol), then you won’t please everyone, and the response will speak for itself.
Chris Young Responds to Blake Shelton Drama
TMZ named Chris Young as a contributing factor to Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert’s divorce, and the country singer has now responded to the allegations on twitter, explaining that he is a friend with both, and “would never do anything to betray that friendship.” While that’s a nice soundbite, it’s either untrue, or Blake Shelton doesn’t believe it, because I would bet my bank account on the fact that his team leaked the cheating news to TMZ, after being fed up with his name getting dragged through the mud amidst his own cheating rumors. And given that this is one of the fastest divorces I’ve seen, bad blood is believable. As for why Lambert would allegedly cheat, who knows. We aren’t inside their marriage, and there are three sides to every story.

Donald Trump v. Matt Laeur: Today Show Throwdown
If Donald Trump is going to run for President, then he should be more responsible. And if this political run is more about personal promotion than being Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces, then I’d encourage him to back out now, because he’s making a mockery of a process that is already cartoonish. According to Trump, the media has twisted his original words, using a clip of his statement that John McCain is “not a war hero,” and leaving out the end of his comment, in which he stated that he was a war hero. The comment in question is clear as day, despite Trumps desire to squash the subsequent tirade. We are responsible for our words, and he should know better.
I am unafraid to admit that I’ve been a longtime Donald Trump fan, having loyally watched The Apprentice since it’s inception and being a die-hard Howard Stern listener, where Trump has often been a very entertaining guest. What I’ve always admired about Trump his his ability to speak his mind with a side of humor, and his ownership of his own antics. But what I have always known about Trump he is unequivocally unable to accept criticism. When attacked, Trump will drop a hammer on an ant, breaking his arm in the process. There has been many examples of this, including Martha Stewart and Bill Maher, where Trump acted like a petulant child in need of a teet. When his ego is penetrated and his feelings are hurt, he will escalate his response to the point of his own demise. In the case of John McCain, that’s exactly what happened. McCain insulted Trump, and Trump’s disproportionate response has incited a firestorm.
It’s safe to say I’ve revoked my Donald Trump support in the entertainment sphere (I never supported his political run). I will no longer watch his shows or support his business ventures. If he chooses to reform, perhaps I’ll reconsider. Until then, our relationship has ended. Watch his interview with Matt Laeur below.

Chris Pratt Answers “5 Juicy Questions” for Women’s Health
Solidified box office star and resident hunk Chris Pratt sat down for a chat with Women’s Health for their ‘What Men Think’ column, and he answered five juicy questions for his female fan base, Read and enjoy.
5 Juicy Questions with Chris Pratt
1. Opposites attract: true or false?
“Well, scientifically it’s a fact, because you can look at the polarity of the water molecule and the capillary action of ice and water. [Laughs] It can be true in real life, too, but I don’t think it’s a rule. If you’re like Anna [Faris, Pratt’s wife] and myself, we’re very similar. We married ourselves because we have comparable egos and abnormally high self-esteem.”
2. Is it ever okay to lie to your partner?
“Honesty is the best policy, but being mindful of someone’s feelings is also very important. It’s not okay to lie, but it is okay to protect your partner. And understanding the difference requires wisdom.”
3. Are you a fan of PDA?
“Yes. But it’s a fine line. Keep it classy. Don’t be gross. I don’t mind PDA; I do mind GPDA, which is Gross Public Displays of Affection.”
4. When was the last time you were really scared?
“Parenting comes with a lot of fears—some rational, some irrational. Jack, our son [age 2], has had a couple of surgeries. Those were scary. He just had one recently, and I knew he would be fine because it was a minor thing and he’s had it done before, but you can’t help but get scared when your kid is going under anesthesia.”
5. What would the reality show about your life be called?
“Hollywood Squares. It’d be a throwback to the old game show, except instead of us playing tic-tac-toe and answering pop-culture triviaquestions, we would just sit around and watch The Bachelor and make meals. It would be super boring.”
