Wilmer Valderrama & Demi Lovato Dating?


There were rumors of these two hooking up before Demi Lovato entered rehab a few months away but Wilmer Valderrama's reps squashed that.

Now that 18 year old Demi out of rehab the rumors are back. News reports (via MTV) state that she and 31 year old Wilmer were spotted on a movie date at Shermann Oaks Galleria's Arclight Cinemas in Los Angeles and were also seen at Whole Foods.

It really wouldn't surprise me if this rumor was true considering Wilmer has a long list of lovely starlets on his "ex" list. He's been known to have dated bad girl Lindsay Lohan, rocker Avril Lavigne, lame-o Ashlee Simpson, cutie Mandy Moore, hottie Mila Kunis and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Is the Jersey Shore Cast Out of Control?


The cast members of 'Jersey Shore' are milking their new found fame for all it's worth! For starters, the cast negotiated a salary of $10,000 per episode next season - double what MTV had originally offered them. Now some cast members are making up to $7,500 a night for personal appearances, and you better believe they are making as many of these appearances as they can.

According to the New York Post, MTV is not happy about this. They have ordered the cast, including "Snooki", "The Situation", "Pauly D" and "JWoww" to slow down on the appearances at bars and clubs or face legal action. MTV fears it will hurt their image if the cast continues to "pimp themselves" across the country.

But of course, certain cast members refuse to listen to these rules. The cast just wants to earn as much money as they can. Some cast members are taking it even further, using their new fame to really bring in the big bucks.

"Pauly D" isn't just trying to land personal appearances for $7,500 a night, he plans to start DJing for a rate between $10,000 - $25,000 a gig!

"The Situation" is launching his own cologne named "The Sitch". Doesn't it usually take celebrities years before launching their own fragrance? If this seems a little crazy to you, you're not alone. The 'Jersey Shore' casts' manager gloats, "This is something like America hasn't seen before as far as reality TV goes". No kidding!

Jersey Shore Cast Demands More Money!


MTV’s Jersey Shore had a huge first season, bringing in 4.8 million viewers in its season finale. Now the cast, including The Situation, Pauly D, Snooki and others, are demanding more money for season 2.

MTV reportedly offered each cast member a $10,000 signing bonus, and $5,000 per episode. The Jersey Shore cast rejected this offer, claiming they would negotiate until they received a much higher offer. MTV then doubled the salary to $10,000 per episode. The cast members still have not accepted this offer.

Pauly D and The Situation are reportedly being the most stubborn with the negotiation. This isn't hard to believe about The Situation who said in episode 2, "Everybody at the Shore definitely knows The Situation. As far as I know, everybody loves The Situation, and if you don't love The Situation, I'm gonna make you love The Situation."

According to TMZ, MTV said they have not made any decisions to bring back the cast, and has received thousands of tapes from hopeful “Guido and Guidettes”. MTV told the cast they are not a package deal, so Snooki, The Situation or whoever won’t negotiate can see the door. With thousands of other interested “Situations” and “Snookies” out there, MTV doesn’t seem to be budging on their offer. The Jersey Shore cast has until the end of today to accept the offer.

Nicole "Snooki" Pretruzzi Talks about Eating Disorder

Nicole “Snooki” Pretruzzi is best known for her roles on MTV’s hit shows “Jersey Shore” and “Is She Really Going Out with Him”

Snooki opens up about her struggles with her weight that started in high school. She would only eat once a day and she would eat less as time went on. “In high school”, Snooki tells US Magazine, “I really wouldn’t eat. I would only have lunch, and I would only have salads. It got so crazy that I would only eat a cracker or a cucumber a day and I would feel full”.


School staff notified Snooki’s parents about her eating behavior, and her family supported her through a healthy recovery. Under her family’s watchful eye, Snooki made a full recovery, going from 80 pounds, to her goal weight, 98.


On “The Jersey Shore”, Snooki’s weight has been called on numerous accounts. Housemate Mike, “The Situation”, has joked about Snooki’s weight. Snooki’s weight was also the cause of a drunken cat fight between another housemate nicknamed JWOW and another woman at a bar.


Mike apologized to Snooki for his comments about her weight. "I regret saying it because I have a sister and a mother, but at the same time, everything happened so quickly and that is what happened”.


Snooki tells DigitalSpy.com that she has since put her disorder behind her. “Right now I don't care what people think of me. They will say negative stuff and whatever, I'm happy with myself”.

Kanye West Makes Fool of Himself at MTV Video Music Awards


What can be worse than award show that gives awards for videos with no real standard of merits? Making a fool of yourself on a show that gives those awards. That is what Kanye West did Sunday September 13th 2009. It's a day and night he should long remember, consider it the day his career started to take downward spiral.

Although he may blame it (He say's he had a "little sippy sippy") on being drunk from drinking of all things 'cognac', Kanye's true colors of blasting anything he doesn't like (let alone agree with) shown themselves for the umpteenth time. What could Kanye West possible do to offend anyone? He ran on stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video (You Belong With Me) took the microphone from her and began to insult her by way of announcing in his street talk "Yo Taylor. I'm really happy for you, I'm going to let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!"

Taylor stood there mortified and unable to finish her acceptance speech. West in his drunken state didn't seem to care as he drew boos. He shrugged and walked his hip-hop walk off stage. Once seated he flipped the audience the bird.

With the damage done, no one seemed to notice or care that West was ejected from the show by security. How did Kanye react to that? He said he was going to have another "sippy sippy" before the night was done.

Luckily later in the show when Beyonce won her own award for Best Video of the Year (Put a Ring On It) she showed exceptional class calling Taylor to the stage offering her time to finish what earlier she could not. But despite that, Taylor Swift's emotions got the best of her. Both her and her mother were seen back stage crying from the experience.

The reaction last night was heavy. Pink was so outraged that she had to be restrained by security from West before he was asked to leave.

The reaction on the morning after is swift. In this blogging age of celebrities West has issued a lame apology that proves he still doesn't get it, "I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment. Beyonce's video was the best of the decade ..." Kanye's continued ranting over Beyonce in the midst of a lame apology seems to take away from any excuse he could have used that he was drunk.

With or without Kanye's apology he has been greeted by bloggers everywhere with heavy handed backlash. Kelly Clarkson a fellow celebrity has even issued a statement on her own blog condemning West while offering a consoling praise to Taylor Swift:

Dear Kanye,

What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.

On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!

Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

KC
The celebrity backlash continues:
Jordan Sparks: "Um I heard what ye did to my girl Taylorswift13. What happened t2 being happy 4 other people? Congrats Taylor! You deserve it and we love you!"
Kat Dennings: "I'm throwing away my Kanye Glasses. They were eight bucks, no skin off my apple."
Dane Cook: "Kanye did something incredible tonight. He made me like country music. Kanye is now a Kanyunt"
Mike Kennerty (All American Rejects): "Kanye West is a f---ing a---hole"
Katy Perry: "F--- you Kanye. It's like you stepped on a kitten."
Pink: "Kanye West is the biggist piece of s--- on earth. Quote me. My heart goes out to Taylor Swift. She is Sweet and talented girl and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her."
The list goes on and on. From Kellyr Rowland, Dallas Austin Joel Madden, Heidi Montag and more. There is a lot of piling on Kanye and a lot of support being shown to Taylor.
