Beyonce (Allegedly) Offered $500 Million to Judge "X Factor"
Friday, February 3, 2012
We don't necessarity believe it, but we're gonna report it: Beyonce has been offered $500 million to become an "X Factor" judge.
Simon Cowell wants to make his show as hot as possible, so he's trying to sign Beyonce.
A source said: "He wants a big name female star on the panel. Mariah Carey is good, but she's not that hot today. He wants Beyonce because that would immediately give him the bounce needed to beat American Idol."
The deal would be worth $100 million per year for 5 seasons.
Demi's Diet: Red Bull, Lettuce, Tablespoon of Tuna
Friday, February 3, 2012
Demi Moore is (allegedly) struggling with drug problems AND an eating disorder.
Two sources close to Demi, say the key problems for the actress are her dual obsessions with remaining young and being ultra-thin.
And her recent daily diet has been "Red Bull for breakfast. Red Bull for lunch. Red Bull for dinner, with a lettuce leaf and a tablespoon of tuna fish thrown in. That's it."
A source close to Moore and her family described her intense focus on remaining young as being "insane. … Demi got so she'd almost talk about nothing else than finding ways to keep young and pretty. For a long time, it was clear she was doing it all to keep Ashton Kutcher interested. Then, when she found out about his cheating, her world really spiraled out of control."
While Kutcher has called and checked in pretty regularly since Demi's collapse and hospitalization last week, both sources stressed that ex-husband Bruce Willis is more concerned.
"Bruce has been very worried about Demi for some time — like many of us — and he's truly stepped up to the plate in the past week..."

Simon Cowell's choice as judge for "X Factor USA?" Mariah Carey.
Sources claim Simon is trying to convince Mariah to be one of the judges on the second season of the show. She wasn't able to do it last season because she had just given birth to her twins.

As for her husband Nick Cannon, he's not happy with the idea and think Mariah will turn down the role. Other reports claim that Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj are also on Simon Cowell's shortlist of potential judges.
UPDATE: Snooki says she is not pregnant, and isn't happy about the rumor because it is basically calling her fat.

A Missouri man who sort of looks like Tom Brady grabbed the attention of the press at yesterday's Super Bowl media day in Indianapolis.
The 26-year-old has the same hair color as the New England Patriots quarterback, but he wears it long, like Tom used to. That, combined with a No. 12 jersey, actual NFL pants, cleats and some eye black stickers was enough to land some interviews and photos.
The fake Brady said, "This was my Halloween costume this year. I didn't really expect this. I figured all the attention would be on the players, but I guess I get a glimpse of what Tom Brady deals with every day."
Grammy nominee Adele will make her return to the stage at this year's Grammy Awards! It will be her first performance in five months.

First, host Steve Jones was fired, then came the announcement that judge Nicole Scherzinger was OUT. And finally, Paula Abdul also was shown the door.
According to a show source, "X Factor" season 2 offsite meetings are taking place, hosted by show creator Simon Cowell. The purpose: To discuss what went wrong and what was done right on season 1 of the Fox singing competition.
According to one source, Paula Abdul's role was seen as "irrelevant to the mix," in part through no fault of her own. (As mentor to the groups, her contestants were picked off early in the competition).
As for Steve Jones and Nicole Scherzinger, another show insider says the "X Factor" host was notified by a show producer around 7:30 on Monday evening that his option was not being picked up. (Cowell did not call Jones personally to deliver the news.)
Soon after, Scherzinger was informed that her contract also would not be renewed. The host and judge did not receive an explanation for the decision, but a source close to the show says Cowell has decided that the show needs a bigger celebrity on the panel next season.
LA Reid, the fourth judge on the X Factor panel, has not been informed of any change to his status as judge.

Monday, January 30, 2012
Some of the world's biggest artists turned out for Etta James' funeral Saturday. They included Stevie Wonder and Christina Aguilera. The Rev. Al Sharpton eulogized her as an artist who not only "changed the world of music but the cultural paradigm of the United States."
Sharpton also read a message sent by President Obama that said: "Etta will be remembered for her legendary voice and for her many contributions to our nation's musical heritage."
Christina Aguilera told the audience that James was the singer she admired most and tried to emulate. Then, she sang James' classic song, "At Last." Aguilera admitted that she includes the song in every performance in honor of her role model.
Stevie Wonder sang "Shelter From the Rain," then sang an a cappella rendition of "The Lord's Prayer."
James died from chronic leukemia and also had been struggling with dementia.
P.S. Look closely at the pic (above). What is dripping down Christina Aguilera's legs? Bronzer? Sweat? Aunt Flow? Eww!
