Kailyn Lowry to Kylie Jenner: Your Friends Will ABANDON You!

You might not think of someone who got pregnant as a teenager as being the ideal person to reach out to for advice about … well, anything. But Kailyn Lowry's advice might be  exactly  what  pregnant Kylie Jenner  needs to hear.  After all, who could know better about going from  young and hot  to  mom with a tot  than a  Teen Mom  star? Just don't ask  Kailyn for baby naming  advice. Since getting pregnant in high school, Kailyn's lived the non-millionaire version of what Kylie's about to go through. Because the reality of the matter is that your social life changes when you become a mom — at any age. Even a 35-year-old first-time parent is going to suddenly have to turn down invitations, because they have a small human that's adorable though very noisy and it needs constant supervision or it could  die . They'll find themselves missing out on sleep and unable to party and stay out late like they used to, even at times when someone else is taking care of their baby. It's more than just a shift in lifestyle — that can happen when you get a new job, basically. It's a total, radical reprioritization that impacts more or less every part of your life. That shift is going to be even more dramatic for someone who becomes pregnant at 16 … or 19 … and is accustomed to a great deal of freedom and minimal responsibility at an age where they are not socially expected to become mothers. And … there are fears that Kylie does not fully appreciate what it means to be a mother or how much her life is going to change.  Forever . TMZ   spoke to Kailyn Lowry  and asked if she had any words of wisdom to share with Kylie Jenner. We have to hand it to them — it might never have occurred to us to ask a  Teen Mom  star about Kylie Jenner. Kailyn seemed to be ready to share some advice, though she confesses that she doesn't know all that much about Kylie. “For me, it was a little different because I was still in high school … she's pretty young, and I can't imagine that a whole lot of her friends have kids at their age.” She's right. There's a huge difference when you're still in high school, because you're still a minor who's suddenly jumping forward a decade in terms of responsibilities. But, at the same time, Kylie's peers can't really relate to Kylie's pregnancy any more than a high schooler's can. And that's going to change things. “Your social life definitely changes because you can't always go out when your friends wanna go out, because you're either pregnant or you have a newborn.” Yep. “I think it'll be different for her because I'm sure she'll have a lot of help and she'll have nannies and stuff.” We anticipate a small army of nannies. Plus lots of time spent with aunts and, of course, Kylie's daughter's proud grandmomager. “I don't know; i think when your friends can't really relate, they kind of stop coming around.” We're sure that Kailyn had this unfortunate experience. But only time will tell whether Kylie does. Is her social clout among her friends enough that they won't stop coming around? Or can even Kylie become too boring and her life too baby-centric? Kylie will have help, though. “I mean, I know money can definitely make things easier — I know you can pay to have help.” Plus Kylie's whole family will likely be willing to pitch in when needed. (Though Kim and Khloe will have newborns of their own) Imagine the fallout of Kylie's friends all deserted her. But … here's our take on that: Any friend of Kylie's who was willing to put up with her during her years of dating Tyga is probably going to have no problem putting up with her as a mom. Childcare is no joke, but we'd take time around a newborn over someone who talks about Tyga all of the time, any day.

Tom Petty Dies; Rock Legend Was 66 (UPDATED)

On a day already rocked by the tragic mass shooting in Las Vegas , this news is not exactly welcome. But it would have been grim news on any day: Music legend Tom Petty has passed away at 66. Just a short while ago, TMZ reported Tom Petty’s condition, which took a turn for the worse and never recovered. Apparently, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member had been found unconscious in full cardiac arrest Sunday. He was, of course, immediately rushed to the hospital. EMTs were able to get a pulse in his Malibu home, but having a pulse doesn’t mean a recovery is necessarily in order. It probably goes without saying that spending minutes without oxygen pumping to your brain is never good. Even a matter of crucial seconds in such a state can be the difference from making a recovery and not. Unfortunately, despite Petty regaining his pulse and being spirited with all due haste to UCLA Santa Monica Hospital, it just wasn’t enough. TMZ ‘s sources say that he was immediately placed on life support in an effort to stabilize his vital signs. From the moment that hew as found, the Heartbreakers’ frontman’s condition was considered “critical.” Petty’s close friends and loved ones were reportedly upset but unwilling to disclose details about his condition or what may have led to it. To make matters worse, new information about the singer-songwriter’s health came just an hour or so ago. Upon arrival at the hospital, medical professionals determined that Tom Petty had no signs of brain activity. That means brain death, which in all terms save the standard used to declare time of death, meant that he was no longer living. The decision was made at that time to remove Petty from life support, and thus, multiple news outlets are now reporting his passing. Tom is, as we said, a Rock legend. (Honestly, I’ve had his massive hit, “Breakdown,” playing in a loop on my head as I’ve written this – and I wouldn’t even consider Rock to be one of my music genres. That’s the kind of reach that Tom Petty has) A lot of networks are playing his other hits, like “Free Fallin,'” “Mary Jane’s Last Dance,” “I Won’t Back Down” and countless others. Tasteful references to his work seem like a perfect way to honor him, and we expect to hear plenty of them in the coming weeks. Petty rose to fame in the 1970s with his band, the Heartbreakers. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Tom was also a successful solo artist and performed with Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and George Harrison in the band The Traveling Wilburys. Though Petty and his band debuted their self-titled record in 1976, they continued to perform to packed arenas over the past four decades. He played his last show last Monday, performing three sold-out shows at the Hollywood Bowl to conclude their 40th anniversary tour. The Florida native will undoubtedly down as one of the most successful and beloved singer-songwriters of his or any generation. R.I.P. UPDATE: CBS News is retracting its original report that Petty has passed away. The singer has been removed from life support, but according to a hospital source, he’s currently “clinging to life.” We will continue to monitor the situation and bring you further updates as more information becomes available.

Madonna To Play Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show

Singer will perform alongside Cirque du Soleil. By Gil Kaufman Madonna Photo: Getty Images The worst-kept secret in sports and music has finally been confirmed: Madonna will play the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVI on February 5. The gig has been rumored for months, but on Sunday night the NFL confirmed that Madonna will make her Super Bowl debut in an extravaganza that will be “imagined” by Cirque du Soleil and her longtime choreographer/creative director Jamie King. The game is scheduled for the first Sunday in February at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and the half time booking continues a recent trend of inviting global superstars to rock the biggest TV event of the year. Madonna follows in the footsteps of last year’s entertainment, the Black Eyed Peas, as well as recent gigs by Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, The Who, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, U2, Paul McCartney and Prince. The gig will take place just two days before Madonna’s English romantic drama, “W.E.,” hits theaters . The singer is also slated to release her as-yet-untitled 12th studio album in 2012 and a first single could drop around the time of the Super Bowl. Singer M.I.A. recently confirmed 
 that she and Nicki Minaj have collaborated with Madonna on a new song reportedly titled “Give Me All You Love,” which leaked last month. “Summond to NYC by bitchesses MADONNA and NICKIMINAJ,” M.I.A. tweeted over the Thanksgiving weekend. “cofffffiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee it iz a good day to get me tho trustttt bitches.” The leak may have pleased fans, but it left Madonna and her camp pretty unhappy. Shortly after the track hit the Web, Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary Tweeted a response to the leak. “The plan was for new music to come out in the new year,” he said. “I’m very happy with the positive reaction to the demo, but we are very upset with whoever leaked the song!!!!!!!! we are asking that the fans please help us police any more leaks. we have a lot in store for you. but please respect the process.” Madonna, via Oseary, also expressed her feelings about the leak. “Madonna told me this morning ‘my true fans wouldn’t do this,’ ” he wrote. “Whoever is responsible for this leak, we ask that you please stop!” Related Artists Madonna

Alec Baldwin Ties ‘SNL’ Hosting Record; Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Perform

’30 Rock’ star joked that his 15th hosting gig put him ’14 shows ahead of Ms. Betty White.’ By Amy Wilkinson Alec Baldwin Hosts “SNL” Season Finale Photo: NBC He may not have made us forget about “old what’s-her-name” Betty White , but Alec Baldwin did enter the “Saturday Night Live” record books during this week’s season-finale episode, hosting the sketch comedy show for the 15th time. That put him, as he joked, “14 shows ahead of Ms. Betty White.” Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were the musical guest. The “30 Rock” star shares the record for most times hosting with his Oscars co-host and “It’s Complicated” co-star, Steve Martin. Baldwin joked during his opening monologue about the imagined rivalry between the two, with Martin chiming in via satellite to deliver his own White-themed zinger. “I’d like to thank all of my friends at Facebook Mexico for demanding I appear in this ‘Saturday Night Live’ monologue,” Martin said before Baldwin abruptly turned off the television. Baldwin also made light of the honorary degree he received from his alma mater, New York University, while delivering the commencement address recently at Yankee Stadium. “From now on, I would like you to call me Dr. Alec Baldwin, OB/GYN.” As expected, living up to White’s ratings-busting episode proved difficult, with many of last night’s sketches feeling flat. Following a Digital Short starring Andy Samberg as a singing cokehead, Baldwin played a mustachioed cowboy in a “Dallas”-like television show called “Arizona Evenings,” where he was repeatedly interrupted by a big-toothed script supervisor named Starfish, played by Kristen Wiig. He later donned a floppy blond wig and spewed insults as a disgruntled high school swim coach, played the father to oddly clingy teen Bedelia, played by Nasim Pedrad, and hawked a time-traveling microwave called the Timecrowave on an infomercial. He also appeared in Kenan Thompson’s recurring sex tutorial sketch as Greek Costas, demonstrating moves like “Check the Faucets” and “The Facebook” for the instructional DVD “Grady Wilson’s Intimate and International.” The pouf was back as Bobby Moynihan layered on the bronzer to play Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi of “Jersey Shore” for a guest appearance on Weekend Update to talk about the upcoming season being filmed in Miami. “Do you know what Florida’s main export is?” he asked Seth Meyers. “Oranges! People keep getting us confused.” And no strangers themselves to the “SNL” stage, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performed two tracks, “I Should Have Known It” and “Jefferson Jericho Blues,” off of their upcoming album, Mojo, which drops June 15.

The Only Thing Worse Than Valentine’s Day Is People Who Hate Valentine’s Day

Of all of capitalism’s high holidays, Valentine’s Day is definitely the worst, with its corporate-sponsored emphasis on love, couples, snuggling, and other disgusting things. The only thing worse? The people who empower it with emphatic hatred. That’s right, all you singleton’s and “black hearts” are just as responsible for the continuation of this wretched festival as all the happy couples cooing into each others’ earlobes after too many expensive oysters and too much cheap champagne. Sure, Valentine’s Day was created to sell candy, flowers, romantic dinners at overpriced restaurants, and frilly panties from Victoria Secret that will be forgotten about as soon as they are flung off an expectant toe into the dark corners of a bedroom. To get all English major-y for a second, it is a despicable propagation of the hetero-normative monogamy fallacy that plagues the world, telling everyone that they have a “soul mate” and one special person to complete them and anyone who isn’t in such a relationship is a worthless piece of shit who doesn’t deserve to be loved and probably dresses bad and needs more time in the gym. However, the reaction to these sentiments is just as knee-jerk and trite. Hating Valentine’s Day is a sad fucking cliche. On the outside its says, “I hate the corporate structure that built this shitty holiday” and “I’m doing fine on my own, thank you,” but what it says on the inside is, “I am so sick of not having the validation of someone in my life that I need to rebel against this thing or I am going to wither away like a dried toe nail clipping in the garbage.” These people think that they are going to do something to change the couple-centric world that we live in, but all that they’re doing is giving credence to it. It’s like scowling at the concept but sneaking handfuls of chalky conversation hearts while all their fellow black-wearers go to change The Smiths record. Just like every year, alternative Valentine’s Day options abound. Jonathan Ames is hosting an anti-romantic poetry reading in Brooklyn and The Village Pourhouse will try to set up single men and women at their black heart’s party. There are plenty of events for those without a mate to attend and weep with each other and talk about how disgusting and lonely they all are while bashing their seemingly happier counterparts. Still, we hate you just as much as those making kissy-face and gurgling about how much they love each other. Instead of getting their non-frilly panties all in a wad, maybe it’s time for the haters to just leave this whole mess to those who want to call 1-800-Flowers, order up a chocolate souffle for two, and give each other their thrice-annual dose of oral sex (along with both birthdays). What’s so wrong about expressing the love one has for his partner? It’s rare and wonderful to find someone to share one’s life with, and surviving the daily silent tug of war of a relationship shouldn’t go by unnoticed. The protesters don’t want it to end entirely either, because you know that the first single girl at the “Heartbreaker’s Club” dance party is going to be the one who wants the biggest bouquet once she finally has a man. For those of us who aren’t in a relationship, why don’t we take the night off? Let’s give it up to all those unlucky enough to have their egos eroded by the will of another in the search for romantic fulfillment. There’s no need for hatred, spite, or resistance. Just take a deep breath and relinquish the day with quiet superiority and calm abandonment—and masturbate yourself into a chafey coma. [ Image via A Heart a Day ]
