19 Kids and Counting Alleged Extortion Plot: Singer Laughs Off "Intimate Photos"
It appears the Duggars squeaky-clean rep will remain just that (for now, anyway).
The older man in the alleged "compromising" photos with 25-year-old Amy Duggar (the daughter of Jim Bob Duggar's older sister) thinks the whole extortion attempt is nothing more than humorous fodder.
Nicki Minaj Expresses "Disappointment" Over M.I.A.'s Super Bowl Bird Flip
Madonna called it "irrelevant" and "negative." And Nicki Minaj? She's calling it "disappointing."
So if M.I.A. was trying to impress her fellow performers with that Super Bowl halftime middle-finger salute, well, looks like she's 0-for-2.
Nicki Minaj's "Vulgar" Grammys Exorcism Angers Catholic League
If Nicki Minaj happens to come across a swarm of locusts in the next few days, at least she'll know why.
Not content to provide just watercooler fodder for the nation, the singer—or more specifically, the singer's "Pope" escort, hooded attire and unholy Grammys performance last night—fueled the fire and brimstone chat, as well.
The Catholic League wasted no time in condemning the "Roman Holiday" rapper for her exercise in exorcism on the awards show stage—which came complete with choir boys, bishops, holy water, faux possessions, levitation and even a confessional.
In other words, everything you need for a good old-fashioned controversy!
HBO Defends Luck After Two Horses Die
HBO is coming to the defense of its racetrack drama following the deaths of two animals on the show.
During the unlucky incidents on the set of Luck in 2010 and 2011, two horses were reportedly injured and subsequently euthanized during the show's production, which drew criticism from animal rights groups like PETA.
So what did the network have to say about the controversy?
Madonna Slams M.I.A.'s "Negative," "Irrelevant" Super Bowl Flip-Off
Forget the NFL, forget the FCC, M.I.A. angered a far more formidable and wide-reaching body with her Super Bowl bird-flip: Madonna.
The pop superstar phoned up E! News' Ryan Seacrest this morning and wasted no time in expressing both her surprise at the British rapper's unexpected one-finger salute as well as her more than palpable annoyance.
Heather Mills Slams Piers Morgan's Phone-Hacking Denial, "Never Ever" Authorized Access to Voicemail
Looks like CNN forgot to tell Piers Morgan that he's supposed to report the news, not make it.
But he did just that this morning, when Heather Mills became the latest celebrity to take the stand in the U.K.'s exhaustive News of the World-prompted media inquiry into press ethics.
And it's safe to say she's no fan of the newsman, taking every opportunity to deny, counter or simply trash Morgan's own previous testimony.
Gisele Bündchen's Super Bowl Outburst: Victoria's Secret Angels, Donald Trump Fly to Model's Defense
Gisele Bündchen may not have been happy with hubby Tom Brady's defenders, but she should be more than pleased with her own.
Who knew the Victoria's Secret models could be better in a clutch than the New England Patriots?
In any case, the fallout surrounding the supermodel's already infamous post-game outburst, in which she threw her hubby's Super Bowl-losing teammates under the bus, continues apace, though in the wake of a New York Giants pile-on earlier this week, the catwalker has found some herself some slightly less rough and tumble backers.
Clint Eastwood Defends Polarizing Super Bowl Halftime Ad, Denies He Was a "Minion" of Obama
Clint Eastwood's Chrysler-backed Super Bowl pep talk to the nation was motivating all right—it motivated Washington, D.C., power players straight to opposite sides of the political spectrum.
The iconic movie star is facing some fallout in the wake of his otherwise inspiring Chrysler ad that aired during Sunday's big game, with the longtime Republican and Libertarian taking heat from his own party for supposedly becoming a "minion" of both the auto industry and President Barack Obama.
Well, surprise: nobody takes Clint to task and gets away with it. And when it comes to the political left, Eastwood has made it clear: he was definitely not trying to make their day.
Artist Star Jean Dujardin's New Film Poster Too Sexy for France
We didn't think anything was too provocative for the French, but we were wrong.
It seems like Jean Dujardin's promotional poster for his latest film The Players, or Les Infideles, about male infidelity (in case you didn't get that already) is getting some heat from his home country of France for being too risqué.
Here's why...
How X-Rated Is Miley Cyrus' Birthday Treat for Liam Hemsworth?
Despite attempts at maintaining her (sorta) squeaky clean image, we must diagnose Miley Cyrus with a serious case of good-girl-gone-bad.
So what's the latest sign that our fave gal wants to taste a bit of trouble?
