Justin Bieber to Guest Star on Glee... with Cheryl Cole?!?

Take the following rumor with a grain of salt the size of Justin Bieber's fan base...
According to Great Britain's The Sun, Justin Bieber has been approached by producers to guest star on Glee and has actually accepted - under one condition.
"It must be in the agreement that [Cheryl Cole] gets a part in the show as well," Justin allegedly told the newspaper. "Cheryl and the show make total sense. It's all about people who look good and can sing and dance - that's totally Cheryl."

Bieber has made no secret that he crushes on Cole, but these quotes still don't sound like him, do they?
"Glee is a great way to introduce [Cole] to the States," he says. "It would be great if she played a substitute teacher taking a sabbatical from England or something. Can you imagine how hot Cheryl would look dressed as a school teacher?"
Whether or not Justin is quoted correctly here, we still wanna know: Do you think he should appear on Glee?

Camille Grammer on Ellen: Working Out, Milking Exit Rumors

In an interview that will air later today, Camille Grammer joins the host of a stationary bike and talks about the rumors that she's exiting The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
For someone supposedly adverse to publicity, Camille isn't exactly shy about talking to the press and milking every ounce of attention she can, huh? Below, we've excerpted her chat with Ellen, in which Grammer speaks on her divorce, Kyle Richards and more...
Camille and Ellen
On agreeing to star on the series: I didn't want to do the show. I wasn't ready to expose my life that way... I was surprised that [Kelsey] wanted me to do to it. I was like, "Are you crazy? Why are you making me do this?" But he thought it would be good for me to do something that was separate from us being a couple. This is something that was my own thing.
On Kyle Richards: I love Kyle. We do get along. We are friends. Believe it or not. But at times, you know, our personalities just clash. So there's one day we love each other and we're laughing and going to dinner and then two days after, we're fighting about something ridiculous.
On returning for season two: If I would do it, it would be to try to change my image. To try to change it around and have people see the other side of me that you don't see on TV.
Does she speak to Kelsey? Everything I find out is through the press with him. Or he writes me an email or text. I think it's really important for us to speak if we're going to raise children together. We need to co-parent. So right now, my focus now is that we hopefully become friends and we move on from this and we can become good parents to our two young children.

Ted Williams Mug Shots, Arrest Records: Released

Ever since his sudden burst on to the national scene, Ted Williams has been honest about possessing a checkered past.
The homeless man with a golden voice has admitted that drugs and alcohol played a role in many mistakes, but The Smoking Gun has now come out with specifics regarding various arrests and citations.
Ted Williams Mug Shot
The rap sheet for Williams includes theft, robbery, escape, forgery and drug possession.
As recently as July 2010, a businessman called the cops on this Brooklyn native and a female friend who refused to leave the premises. He told authorities that Williams had become an "ongoing problem" and that the woman often got "dropped off in the parking lot by various and numerous males in different vehicles."
Williams told Matt Lauer this week that his life "went to pits" and that he hopes he'll take advantage of this second chance. But if it's more like a seventh chance, many critics might believe Williams doesn't deserve it. What do you think?

Ted Haggard Lands TLC Special

Might Toddlers & Tiaras soon not be the most nauseating show on television?
The same network that gives a platform to pathetic, demanding parents of children that will one day require years of therapy has announced that Ted Haggard: Scandalous will air on January 16.
The one-hour special will focus on the former head of the National Association of Evangelicals, who was caught having an affair with a male prostitute and has also admitted to crystal meth use.
Ted Haggard Picture
Haggard is opening a new ministry in Colorado Springs and says of the series:
"My family and I endured the darkest hours imaginable in the public spotlight, and have spent the last four years fighting and struggling to rebuild our lives, our faith and our family. Showing the world the new chapter of our lives will hopefully inspire others to find their own path to overcome their struggles and embrace the power of acceptance. The church is open to all, even those who have committed the darkest sins.”
If ratings are strong for this special, rest assured it will become a regular program. But should it? Does Haggard deserve his own show?

Jersey Shore Season 3 Premiere Recap: Comin' at You Like a Squirrel Monkey!

"I'm just so excited to get back into my house, pop some bottles and hook up with my roommates." - Snooki
With those words, a new season of MTV's guiltiest, most unsanitary pleasure is upon us. We are back in Seaside Heights, N.J., and it feels like we never left.
As always, THG breaks down all the best Jersey Shore quotes and scenes from last night's installment of the "reality" show in its patented +/- recap below:
Ooooooooga
We know, Sitch. We totally know.
Plus 50 for Deena Nicole Cortese's first 15 minutes at the house, shown above.
Why bother pretending these are normal people, though? Minus 9 for Snook briefing Deena on the roommates, like she hasn't seen every freaking episode.
Sammi on Deena: "I thought she was gonna be hot. I'm all taken aback." Girl, she's friends with Snooki. No offense, but come on. Minus 3 for cluelessness.
JWoww shares a tense goodbye with boyfriend Tom. Bet the lawsuit over those JWoww nude photos only made things more awkward months later. Minus 7.
Snooki is pissed to see Vinny and Deena flirting. Especially after he boned Ryder last season. Hey, the human vibrator's gonna do who it's gonna do. Plus 4.
The boys make fun of Vinny for bringing a shower caddy. Deservedly. Minus 5.
Flip Cup Action
A nice guy-girl flip cup showdown to start off the night.
These idiots get paid tens of thousands of dollars to play flip cup. Plus 9.
Stunningly, Ronnie and Sammi choose to isolate themselves in their bedroom. Even more shockingly, she actually brings up THE NOTE again. Minus 27.
Sammi on Deena: "A walking holiday? What does that mean? Are you gonna give out candy? Like I don't get it." Of course not, joyless b!tch. Minus 6.
Vinny to Snooki, in a moving, heartfelt hot tub confessional: "I want to hook up with you but I can't ... I don't want to hurt you because I care about you too much." JWoww to Vin: "Stick it in one of the jet holes and go to bed." Plus 8.
Sammi Sweetheart Pic
Save it, Sammi. Nice dress, though ...
Sammi Sweetheart gives one a new appreciation for the remote's MUTE button. Minus 14. Talk about raw pain. She and Ron totally deserve one another.
Quote of the night from the great Snooki: "Even though we're tiny bitches, I don't give a sh!t ... I will f*%kin' attack you like a squirrel monkey." Plus 9.
Tensions boil over. Deena starts laying into Sammi, who mocks her as they both start waving their arms around like banshees and IT IS ON! Plus 16.
As usual, Pauly D and The Situation watch the girls' fight from the sidelines. Plus 5, because that's as good as entertainment gets, and it's all FREE!

Cops Probing Lindsay Lohan Actions Badgering Friend; Adam Case Stands By Troubled Star

A friend of Lindsay Lohan's named Adam Case has found himself at the center of ongoing Palm Desert, Calif., police efforts to really stick it to her.
Unfortunately for the cops, he's squarely on her side.
Hours before Lindsay allegedly battered Betty Ford staffer Dawn Holland, she was hanging out in a hotel with Adam Case, a fellow rehab patient.
Lovin' Lo
A HARD CASE: Adam's got Lindsay's back. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
Case had spent a lot of time with LiLo recently, and saw Lindsay's now-infamous altercation with Holland - he's the one who dropped her off late.
Palm Desert cops are convinced Lindsay was drinking in the hotel room, that Lohan attacked Holland and that Case could help them prove both.
Not so fast.
Cops got a statement from Case that very night, and he backed up Lohan's side. Dissatisfied, cops went back to Case and grilled him again.
That's not even it. Days later Palm Desert cops went to Case yet again and interrogated him over what Lindsay did in the hotel room Dec. 12.
Specifically, whether she consumed alcohol.
Lindsay insists she was clean, and Case said he never saw her take a drink. Cops pressed Case to get a copy of his hotel bill, but he refused.
As for what happened in the hotel room, Case says Lindsay spent a long time her hair, then hung out with him and a few other friends.
Looks like a witch hunt and nothing more. Much as the cops would love to find evidence of Lindsay Lohan drunk, our girl was A-O-K!

Gary Shirley: Leave Amber Portwood Alone!

Gary Shirley has, by his own admission, talked hella $h!t about Amber Portwood. But that doesn't mean YOU can, the rotund one stated Thursday.
The Teen Mom star has taken quite the beating in the press thanks to Gary's remarks and leaked phone calls. Now he wants her to be left alone.
Seriously. As he told TMZ, there's still a chance they'll hook up again and he doesn't want to hurt those chances. Besides, she's a "good girl" ...
Amber Portwood, Gary Shirley Photo
BY HER SIDE: Gary Shirley has Amber Portwood's back ... this morning.
"I've said a lot of s**t because I am mad," admits Gary Shirley, the father of baby Leah. "But if anyone else wants to come up and talk s**t about Amber I won't let it happen because she is a good girl, and she's my baby mama."
Indeed she is. Gar then sounded like a textbook spousal abuse victim, adding "I am fine with the fact that Amber hit me because she has gotten all the help that she needs. Ever since that she hasn't put her hands on me."
On a poignant, optimistic note, he concludes, "When the [restraining order] is lifted ... if she's single and I'm single, I'm sure we will try our relationship."
Brings a tear to your eye ...

American Idol Panel Predictions: Who Will Win?

Who will win season 10 of American Idol? We might need to learn the identity of the contestants before we can venture a guess.
But in this week's Entertainment Weekly, members of the new (and improved?) panel make a couple broad predictions. To wit:
Ryan: I think you’ll see some of the youngest talent we’ve ever had compete with some of the oldest talent we’ve ever had.
J. Lo: You may have the youngest winner ever.
Randy: I’m going to go out on a limb. I think a girl’s going to win the show.
Team Idol
The show has already confirmed a few major changes for the new season. Below, meanwhile, the Idol team touches on a couple other aspects, including the British elephant NOT in the room...
Will the show miss Simon Cowell?
Randy: Look, it’s definitely been interesting. He’s our friend for life. I don’t know if Steven knows him much, but Jennifer definitely knows him. We’ve all hung out together. So, listen, we definitely miss him, but it’s a different kind of vibe. It’s a different kind of energy now. And I think in season 10 the show actually really needed it.
What about the lack in recent superstars produced by Idol?
J. Lo: We all know that in this business, a 1 percent chance is huge, so I think this show is doing pretty well in that arena. So with addressing that comment, what are we looking for? We’re looking for a recording artist, a pop star, someone who’s a real artist. You can tell that when they walk in, the ones that have that special thing.

Totally Random Tabloid: Robsten is Over!!!

There's very sad new today out of the world of totally random tabloids that invent cover stories with no evidence or reliable quotes with which they can back them up:

Rob did look a bit sad at this week's People's Choice Awards, didn't he?

Brandi Glanville on LeAnn Rimes Counseling: FAIL!

Brandi Glanville says she went to counseling with her ex-husband's new fiancee, LeAnn Rimes. The former Mrs. Eddie Cibrian also says it did not go so well.
Before LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian got engaged, "I did try some counseling with her, but it did not go so well for one reason or another," Brandi said.
"At times I feel like they are blaming me, although I don't really quite know why, but I understand it is a process and that our sons have to come first."
Eddie and Brandi PictureEddie, LeAnn Pic

Brandi and Eddie have two sons and after eight years of marriage, the pair divorced after he met and had an affair with LeAnn on the set of Northern Lights.
"There is still a lot of animosity but hopefully, one day, we can move through that and get to a better place," Brandi Glanville said. "Divorce is very tough."
"Going through it in public makes it harder. Eddie and LeAnn wanted me to sign a confidentiality agreement but I refused, as I never did anything wrong."
"I have great friends and family. I have managed to draw strength from that, plus the fact that my boys always keep me busy," Brandi said of her boys.

Hole in Michael Jackson Death Timeline May Be Smoking Gun Against Dr. Conrad Murray

The prosecution commenced outlining its case against Dr. Conrad Murray during his preliminary hearing this week and suffice it to say, they're doing a good job.
From phone records to witnesses, nothing seems to line up well for the doc to beat the rap on involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.
Today's bombshell could be a smoking gun as far as disproving Murray's version of events that fateful day in June 25. All courtesy of his girlfriend too.
One Bad Doc
PHONING IT IN: Did Dr. Murray dial 911 when he said he did?
A girlfriend of Dr. Conrad Murray at the time of Jackson's death established that he waited around 25 minutes to call for help after noticing a lifeless MJ.
Sade Anding, who was in Houston the day MJ died, says she got a call from Murray at around 12:30 p.m. Phone records show it was actually 11:51 a.m.
That difference is big, because the 911 call wasn't made until 12:21 p.m.
If Murray did indeed realize MJ was in distress at 11:55 a.m., there was a long delay in sounding the alarm. It looks like he did realize it that early, too.
Sade says Murray was asking her how she was doing and she talked about her day. She spoke for a little bit, then realized Murray wasn't on the phone.
Sade then said she heard commotion, as if the phone was in his pocket, and heard "coughing and voices." Sade estimates the call lasted five minutes.
The other fun fact resulting from this? That Murray was likely two-timing Nicole Alvarez, who investigators have said was also his girlfriend at the time!
Murray's defense team is more or less sitting the preliminary hearing out. There's no way a judge will throw the case out, so a jury trial awaits next.
They've elected not to play their hand until then in a bit of a strategic move, letting the prosecution lay out its evidence now virtually unabated.
So far, the evidence has been compelling. Stay tuned.

Presenting: The World's Most Troubled Twilight Saga Fan

Might this girl actually NOT be the most obsessed Twilight Saga fan on the planet?!?
Cathy Ward, a 49-year old supermarket worker from England, gave an interview to Great Britian's The Daily Mail this week in which she posed for the following, legitimately troubling photo:
Obsessed Twilight Fan
Says Ward:
"I love Robert Pattinson. I want to tone up so I can get his character Edward Cullen on my stomach. The way I look at it I could be spending the money on going out drinking and eating, but instead I'm spending it on something I am really passionate about.
"I have got a cross trainer, rowing machine and hand weights and I work out in my spare room which has got Twilight pictures all over the walls. I watch the films or listen to the soundtracks as I exercise. It has worked miracles. I have never been more positive, more outgoing, fit and never had so much fun in my life."
Hey, whatever keeps you healthy and happy, lady! We guess.

Adam Lambert Responds to Teen Mom, Twitter Backlash

Two simple sentences have landed Adam Lambert in a bit of trouble.
Yesterday, the singer - likely motivated by the recent struggles of Amber Portwood - Tweeted that Teen Mom is depressing to watch.
Today, he was took to the social network again in response to the reaction of some of his followers, many of whom apparently took issue with Lambert's stance. He wrote:
Teen Mom Twitter
Lambert was more than just snarky, however. He was also explanatory, adding:
"I'm not saying that all teen moms are white trash. Don't misunderstand. Yet, most of the ones on that show seem to be. I do, however, think they're are being exploited a bit."
They are being well-compensated, of course, as Amber made $280,000 from MTV last year. What do you think of Adam's statements?

Rielle Hunter: NOT Engaged to John Edwards

Rielle Hunter and John Edwards are not engaged.
Despite a report this week that John put a ring on it, "the reports are false and he is not engaged," a family spokesperson said earlier today.
Sheesh. How dare people assume an upstanding individual like John would ever pull such a move. It's not like he's some cad who cheated on his terminally ill wife and knocked up Rielle Hunter while running for U.S. President. Oh, wait ...
John and Rielle
NOT ENGAGED: John Edwards, Rielle Hunter and their young daughter Quinn may be together someday, but not today. Check back this time next week.
Edwards' affair became public knowledge after he was busted in 2008. He denied their child was his until over a year later when he was busted again.
The disgraced former U.S. Senator's estranged wife, Elizabeth Edwards, passed away last month at age 61 after a long struggle with breast cancer.
At least she cut him out of her will at the last minute.
