Fashion Face-Off: Eva Longoria Meats Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga was the biggest winner at last night's MTV Europe Music Awards, earning three trophies, including Best Song for "Bad Romance." Sadly, she was not there.
Performing in Budapest at the same time, the best the star could do was pop up via satellite from Hungary. Host Eva Longoria did her best to channel Gaga, though.
Paying homage to Lady Gaga's meat dress from this fall's MTV VMAs, Tony Parker's better half (who MC'd the festivities) donned a delicious Spanish ham costume:

PIECES OF MEAT: Eva pays tribute to Gaga.
"Lady Gaga couldn't be here tonight, but she left this dress in the fridge backstage for me," the Desperate Housewives star said through her amazing outfit.
What a ham. Sorry, we had to. Seriously, though, talk about a juicy costume. She even one-upped Ke$ha for the night's most ridiculous (-ly awesome) couture.

Dina Lohan: Lindsay is a Different Person!

America's least favorite celebrity mom, Dina Lohan, visited the Today Show Monday after spending time at the Betty Ford Center with troubled daughter Lindsay.
Lindsay's chief enabler and de facto publicist called the facility "life-changing" and an "amazing place," and sounded surprisingly humble (for her) about her struggles.
Matt Lauer asked Dina, who spent two weeks in family sessions at the clinic, about Lindsay's condition. "Happy, relaxed. She's just a different person," Dina said.

"She's been in a couple facilities, but this one, to me, has really changed her. They get into your psyche and your family and they bring the problem to the surface."
Lauer and Lohan sparred the last time she was on Today, but this time, there wasn't too much contention, even when Matt pressed Dina Lohan on Lindsay's woes.
"When the judge said [Lindsay] needed to go here and sent her, he said to her in no uncertain terms, 'You're an addict,'" Lauer said. "Does Lindsay fully get that?"
"Yes," Dina answered. "And this teaches you that you are, and she's young. I thank God that he didn't incarcerate her because that wouldn't have helped her."
"Being so young, admitting that can only help her in the future."
Dina says she realizes the severity of the problem, too" "We take it a day at a time. Addiction is difficult. I don't know, I don't have a crystal ball. I pray hard."
Dina says Lindsay Lohan wants to start her own rehab facilities for other young people (yes, she's serious), and acknowledged her desire to return to film.
Lauer asked if Dina would encourage another early release.
"Lindsay wants to stay," Dina said, showing surprising maturity. "She's learning the trigger points and why she turns to drugs or addiction. It's a life journey."
The Today interview came after news of Lindsay Lohan's reunion with father Michael Lohan, Dina's ex, at Betty Ford. The reunion was reportedly "emotional."
There were "hugs, kisses, even a few tears." Might our girl finally be getting it together and turning over a new leaf? Here's hoping her parents help this time.

Janet Jackson Hearts Lady GaGa


Join the club!!
Janet Jackson recently told Larry King in an interview that she loves Lady GaGa for her talent and even compared her to model Grace Jones.
She says:
"I love her. I enjoy her music. I feel that she came along and she introduced something a little bit different for the people of today. For myself, I don’t mean this in a negative way at all, it’s a little reminiscent of Grace Jones, how big and out there her costumes are.
I think she is very talented; she writes her own music and has a wonderful voice. I had the opportunity of meeting her for the first time, at a concert of hers. I knew of her before she became the Lady GaGa everyone knows. Her story was incredible and when I knew of this artist, I was rooting for her before she had gotten this recording contract."
Can you imagine if these two did a duet together?? OMG please, please, please MAKE this happen!!

Miley Parties To Cope With Parents' Divorce


Aw, that makes us really sad actually.
According to sources, ever since Miley Cyrus' parents, Billy Ray and Leticia Cyrus, have split up, the 17-year-old has resorted to pAArtying to help cope with the situation. Miley hasn't been "sleeping a ton" and "the people closest to her are really concerned" about her.
The insider adds:
"She's feeling very stuck in the middle and her dad will ask her what her mom says and vice versa so its been really hard on her. She's feeling like everything is on her shoulders and its not fair.
She's known there were problems for a while and while she's happy they’re finally splitting and happy they’re not lying anymore she's still really upset and feels like for the sake of her little sisters she has to try and keep it together."
We guess that's why Miley has asked that her family be together for her 18th birthday.
Stay strong, gurl! If your parents were lying to each other, it just might be best that stay apart for the sake of the family.

The Situation's Brother Mooching Off His Fame

mike-the-situation-brother-marc-sorrentino.jpg
Friends say that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's brother, Marc Sorrentino, is totally cashing in on his fame and is now making waves between The Sitch and his manager, Mike Petolino.
Marc has apparently been acting like Mike's manager, making deals for him and scheduling appearances for him while he was away shooting Jersey Shore and Dancing with the Stars, but Petolino of Gotham Entertainment says HE'S the real manager. He states, "As far as management, I'm Mike's manager. Marc is not Mike's manager." Even his lawyer Ray Raya is making sure that people know that "Marc is Mike's brother and one of his closest advisers, but he's doesn't have an official role."
The problem is Marc is heavily involved with Mike's endorsement deals, including a deal with Devotion Vodka, so now people are getting confused. "Nobody knows who the person to deal with is because both are saying, 'I'm the main person for the Situation,'" said an insider.
And not only that, but Marc was accused of holding a woman hostage in a limo a few days ago, which is making things look REALLY bad for Mike. A source says, "The Situation is starting to wake up and be like, 'What's going on?'"
Dude, we understand you have to stay close to family, but if he's making things worse for you, you need to cut those business ties with your bro. It's just not worth it.

Brahim Rachiki's Mom Confirms He's Dating Madonna

madonna-dating-new-man-brahim-rachiki.jpg
A ha! A mother never lies!
Madonna's relationship with her choreographer Brahim Rachiki has just been outed by his own momma.
Even though Madonna's reps have denied that the two were dating, saying that the rumors were "not true," Rachiki's mom insists that her son is dating the pop star.
She says:
"My mouth fell open when I realized that my son was Madonna’s new boyfriend. It’s something I’m still trying to come to terms with.
Madonna was already a big star when I was a schoolgirl, let alone when Brahim was growing up. The whole situation is very strange indeed - surreal even."
Ha! Surreal, indeed! But we think they look really good together! Hope this one lasts, Madonna!

Katy Perry and Russell Brand make first public appearance since getting married

Katy Perry and Russell Brand make 
first public appearance since getting married
Aww, Katy Perry and Russell Brand are just SO loved-up – look at how cute they are.
The newlyweds walked the red carpet at tonight’s MTV EMAs (that’s Europe Music Awards) in Madrid, and they both had giddy, love struck grins on their faces. Cute.
Russell wore a typical if slightly toned down outfit – it looks like the crazy bird’s nest hair and beard aren’t coming back. Meanwhile Katy went for something a little more quirky. A red carpet event usually means an excuse to bust out something full length and fabulous, but Katy being the quirky type of girl decided to dress up in a cinema ticket dress.  It’s a fun frock, but it doesn’t exactly show off Katy’s firecracker figure to the best advantage, and as we now know since being with Russell, Katy’s been feeling more confident about her body than ever.
The happily married star also performed at the event, singing her new singleFirework, pouring her amazing curves into flaming sequin cat-suit. Have a look and a listen and tell us if you think Katy’s performance in Madrid was better than her performance on The X Factor a few weeks ago.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson: Rio de Janeiro Workers

Situated overseas for work duties, Robert Pattinson was spotted rehearsing a scene for "Breaking Dawn" in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday (November 7).
The Edward Cullen stud joined cast and crew members as he was joined by a Bella Swan double as he readied to shoot the day's scenes before later teaming up with co-star girlfriend Kristen Stewart.
In related news, recent reports tell that Rob recently turned down a $2 million offer to be the face of ­Burberry.
A source told the Sunday Mirror, “Head designer Christopher Bailey and the Burberry team were desperate to sign Robert as the main person in their new campaign. It would grace all their stores worldwide and be in all the best ­publications. They went to ­Robert but he ­immediately, politely, turned them down."
The insider added, “As far as Robert sees things he’s an actor by trade and that’s his art. He doesn’t want to start becoming a brand or anything. Burberry really hoped Robert would do it. They know he wears Burberry occasionally and he’s met Christopher and the team before. They only wanted him. Robert’s look would have been perfect so they’re back to square one.”

Karina Smirnoff and Brad Penny: Engaged!

Forget a penny for her thoughts. Karina Smirnoff officially has a Penny for life.
The Dancing with the Stars professional has agreed to marry pitcher Brad Penny, who proposed to the waltzing beauty on October 4.
"We kept it quiet because my family is in New York and Brad's family is in Oklahoma so we kind of wanted them to come out and celebrate and be a family first before we let the cat out of the bag," Smirnoff said.
