Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian have simultaneously been abandoned by the men in their lives … at least according to one ridiculous tabloid cover. Must be a slow news week, even for In Touch , because there’s pretty much no indication that Scott Disick or Lamar Odom ditched their partners. Scott partied with “club girls” while Kourt stayed home with her hormones, supposedly. Maybe so, but that’s what Scott does. It’s not incendiary. As for Khloe’s man? Lamar dumped the Mavericks , but that’s about it. What’s all the more amazing about this kover is that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are dating. Like for real. Kim Kardashian is dating Kanye West! This made-for-tabloid-drama relationship actually materialized out of thin air and ITW instead opts for bogus, less interesting stories about her sisters. That’s just poor celebrity gossip reporting, people. Poor.
Anderson Cooper just cannot keep it together sometimes. The CNN anchor, whose laughter famously got the best of him last year during a story on Gerard Depardieu (or Depard-two if you will), lost it again last night. The giggling started during a segment about Dyngus Day (a Polish holiday marking the end of Lent) and progressed to the point of sheer ridiculousness. A voiceover describing the holiday’s traditions was the tipping point. Once the words “a tap from a pussy willow branch” were uttered, AC checked out. Watch the Dyngus Day segment, followed by Anderson Cooper’s hilarious giggling display – which got so bad he had to get up and leave – below: Anderson Cooper Giggling (Dyngus Day 2012)
Whitney Houston passed away from an accidental drowning, and there was no foul play involved in her death, according to the now-closed case file. The Beverly Hills Police Department has been investigating Whitney’s death since February 11, and officially closed the book on the case Wednesday. The lack of foul play isn’t really news, as the BHPD was working under the assumption of Houston’s accidental death at the Beverly Hilton hotel. Moreover, police never believed anyone took cocaine from her hotel room because they found the cocaine residue and powder inside Whitney’s room. Cocaine was a contributing factor in her death, according to the L.A. County Coroner, who published the Whitney Houston autopsy results last week. Hopefully, her passing serves as a cautionary tale for many, including her own daughter. That Bobbi Kristina Brown bong video is a little unsettling.
Just two months ago, Khloe Kardashian apparently came closer than ever to becoming a mother … only to suffer a miscarriage. According to In Touch Weekly. The tabloid reports that the miscarriage devastated her emotionally. Her rep denies the failed pregnancy even took place. So it goes … “She’s trying to put on a brave face, but it’s so hard,” reveals a most likely fake friend of Khlo
It’s actually happening. Britney Spears is going to become a judge on The X Factor , with a deal pending to pay her $15 million for the role, E! News reports. “Both camps were going back and forth on the money but now they have finally come to agreement on the fee,” says one insider with knowledge of the contract. “That was the big sticking point and now, thankfully, it’s been sorted.” “All they need to do now is work out the smaller points. The fact the money is now set, means that there is nothing stopping this from becoming a reality.” Coming along for the ride with Britney is fiance Jason Trawick. A second source reveals that her soon-to-be husband will become a producer on the show. The source says of Trawick, who will soon gain control of her affairs : “Jason is expected to be there every day Britney is on set. He is her rock and will help guide her through the process. He is the person she trusts the most.” When final, the deal will make Britney Spears the highest paid judge on reality TV, eclipsing Jennifer Lopez’s $12 million for American Idol Season 11. Previous reports indicated that Spears wanted $20 million for the gig, but the show balked at anything over $10 million. Looks like they met halfway. Barring any last-minute setbacks, Spears will fill one of two X Factor judging vacancies after Simon Cowell fired Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. No word on who will join Britney, Simon and L.A. Reid on the panel. Reps for The X Factor and Fox would neither confirm nor deny this, however, a production insider tells E! News that “this is an exciting time for [Britney].” “It’ll be a fun project and she is welcoming the chance to mentor up-and-coming artists. She loves the idea of helping nurture emerging talent. She’s really looking forward to the project and being able to connect with fans.” The X Factor returns in September. What do you think of the decision to bring Britney on board? Will she be a good judge? Tell us in the comments (and poll) below!
