From Jared to Tiger: 13 Shamed Celebrity Spokespeople

For shame, these celebrity spokespeople! Don't you know you were representing a brand (or many brands) when you slept with porn stars, allegedly got off to child porn… or did any number of other reprehensible things? In light of Jared Fogle getting into serious trouble with the law, we're here to run down 13 of the most shamed celebrity spokespeople in business history. 1. Jared Fogle Jared Fogle served as Subway spokesman for over 15 years. But it all came crashing down on the sandwich guru after federal agents raided his home and found evidence of child pornography. 2. Tiger Woods Tiger Woods didn’t just lose a gorgeous wife by sleeping all around. He lost most of his endorsement deals. 3. Bill Cosby Bill Cosby has not endorsed JELLO for a long time. But he’s included here because so many people still associate him with that snack item. 4. O.J. Simpson O.J. Simpson represented Hertz for over a decade. The company pulled the deal after domestic abuse allegations cropped up in 1992. Two years later, The Juice was arrested for murder. 5. Sharon Stone Sharon Stone was dropped by Christian Dior in 2008 after she made insensitive comments about an earthquake that took the lives of 68,000 people. 6. Madonna Madonna was paid $5 million for Pepsi to use the song “Like a Prayer” in an ad. The track’s music video then featured rape and a burning cross and the company received flak about its decision. View Slideshow

Bobbi Kristina Did Drugs With Whitney Houston, Nick Gordon’s Brother Claims

As Bobbi Kristina Brown remains comatose and her family debates long-term care options, the question of how she wound up in this state remains unanswered. Obviously, all of the prevailing theories involve drug use, but now it looks as though Bobbi Kristina’s “experimentation” may have actually been a long term addiction from which she had been suffering for several years. Jack Walker on Bobbi Kristina, Drug Use Jack Walker is the brother of Nick Gordon, the man who was dating and living with Bobbi Kristina at the time of her alleged overdose. Family members have suggested that Bobbi turned to drugs as a coping mechanism following the death of Whitney Houston . Now, a young man who was close to the situation says that was definitely not the case. Walker says that Bobbi and Nick’s drug use had been going on for several years before Houston’s passing. In fact, Walker claims that Houston may have played an instrumental part in getting Bobbi hooked in the first place. “This isn’t something that just came about when Whitney died and they started doing it…I would be on the phone with Nick and I would hear Whitney asking for the stuff…Same stuff they were doing.” Asked if Whitney was “allowing drug use in the house,” Walker replied, “Definitely.” He answered in the affirmative again when asked if Houston used drugs along with Bobbi and Nick. Questioned about the night when Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious in her bathtub , Walker opens about some startling revelations that Nick made about the incident: “I guess they went to a club the night before,” Walker said. “That;s where it all stemmed, they goat in an argument from there and then it carried on to the house and they just went in separate parts of the room…Drug use, all of that mixed together with arguments, it’s never good.” Despite the volatile nature of the relationship, however, Walker claims he can say with certainty that their altercations never became violent. Asked if he believes Bobbi Kristina’s overdose was a suicide attempt, Walker responded simply, “I do.” View Slideshow: Bobbi Kristina Brown: Through Good Times and Bad

Matt Lauer to Kim Kardashian: Are You Vain or What?!?

Matt Lauer will get right to the point when he sits down across from Kim Kardashian on Monday. During a Today Show interview, the anchor touched on the topic of the upcoming Kim Kardashian selfie book and asked point blank: What does it say about someone who snaps so many pictures of herself?!? Kim Kardashian on Today Asks Lauer specifically of Kardashians: “If you take such a large percentage of pictures of yourself, it does open this whole line of questioning as to, ‘Are you self-obsessed? Are you an incredibly vain person and have you always been that way?” We all know the actual answer to that question, but here is what Kim had to say: “I can understand how someone would say that you must be really vain if you’re taking selfies all day long or wanting photos of yourself.” So, what’s the positive spin on these self-portraits? “To me, it’s just really about capturing a memory,” Kim says. “Is it a little ridiculous? Is it vain? Yes, but it’s fun and you get to capture al of these memories at the same time.” This isn’t the first time Kardashian has admitted that selfies are ridiculous . But not as ridiculous as the fact that folks are gonna actually go out and buy her book when it comes out on May 5. Lauer also notes the abundance of Kim Kardashian nude pics in “Selfish,” telling his subject she’s “naked a lot” in the book. “Not too naked,” Kim smiles in response. Which is pretty hilarious to consider because, come on, is there such a thing as being too naked if you’re Kim Kardashian? View Slideshow: 25 Kim Kardashian Selfies That Nearly Broke the Internet

Rob Kardashian: Alex Roldan is Khloe Kardashian’s Biological Father! And He Hates Kris Jenner!

A new (yet sort of recycled) tablod report claims that Khloe Kardashian’s real father is not Robert Kardashian Sr., but rather her hairstylist Alex Roldan. We’ve heard this before, and the family has laughed it off … but apparently, none other than Rob Kardashian Jr. wants to blow the lid off of this scandal! Despite the fact that we find rumors of O.J. Simpson siring Khloe much funnier, Alex and Khloe do look much more alike than Khlo and the Juice. Alex also hates Kris Jenner, supposedly and incidentally. And hilariously. So do we actually think Khloe is the spawn of Alex Roldan ? Not necessarily, but of all her rumored biological fathers, he would be the best fit. If nothing else, Rob Kardashian is in a bad place these days, and him spreading rumors about his sister’s alleged secret would almost be believable. Those who watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians online these days won’t see him on it, as he continues to live a lonely and reclusive lifestyle. We’re not hating, but it seems pretty matter of fact at this point that Rob has let himself go, packing on 100-plus pounds and acting pretty useless. We forgot bitter. Rob Kardashian is suing his family – or reportedly considering doing so – for mentioning and disparaging him on their E! program. Dude is also on the cusp of being cut off by his Momager, so if he wants quick cash, nothing sells faster and at a premium than Kardashian gossip?! The mother of all family secrets, if it were in fact true, would be that Khloe’s dad is not Robert Sr. , whether the real dad is Alex, O.J. or whomever. Insiders say Rob Jr. is being courted by tabloids eager to nab this exclusive. Whether it’s true or not, if Rob claimed this, it would break the Internet. Hard. Can you imagine Kris Jenner’s reaction if her only son gave an interview alleging she cheated on Robert Kardashian Sr.? With her hair-dresser?! We would almost pay to see that. And read Khloe’s new advice book afterward. How do handle such a bombshell would make for quite a chapter … View Slideshow: 13 Helpful Pieces of Advice from Khloe Kardashian
