Katy Perry: Disastrous VMAs Hosting Has American Idol Producers in a PANIC!

Folks who didn’t watch the VMAs on Sunday because they were too busy watching relatives bone on Game of Thrones or escaping rising floodwaters, answer this: What did you hear, after-the-fact, about Katy Perry? Katy Perry was the host, and she was just … not overwhelming. No huge controversies, sure, but not even Katy’s terrible opening monologue was especially memorable. That’s a problem for Katy, but it might be an even bigger problem for American Idol producers, who are reportedly very concerned that they’re paying $25 million to Katy Perry to be a judge only for her to flop. On Sunday, I had friends over, and they mentioned that traffic was especially slow near my home. Why? Because American Idol auditions were in town. Yes, in case you’ve managed to forget, American Idol is coming back, like some archetypal horde that people thought had been defeated. The biggest stir of publicity about it is Katy Perry’s salary of $25 million. Don’t get us wrong, she’s a big-time celebrity who’s hosted the Superbowl, which is probably what the American Idol producers and the network were thinking when they hired her. What they clearly weren’t thinking about: One, that Katy Perry was singing for her Superbowl Halftime show, which is very different from sitting at a table and talking and judging. Two, that Katy Perry was pretty famously upstaged at that show by Left Shark . You didn’t forget Left Shark, did you? Well now, RadarOnline is reporting that ABC higher ups and American Idol showrunners are worried that they made a mistake by hiring Katy Perry  to be a judge. It sounds like they’re panicking, actually. RadarOnline ‘s source reports that her lackluster hosting over the weekend is what has them so concerned. “They are paying her $25 million and she was a total dud [on the VMAs].” You might be wondering how they didn’t catch it earlier, right? Here’s how: “No one ever auditioned her for the new Idol job and they are freaking out that they hired someone who is terrible on live television.” Oh dear! Usually, if you get a job without applying for it (or auditioning, in this case), it’s because someone who’s seen your work up close before (maybe a coworker or a former boss) is either doing the hiring or has vouched for you. It sounds like Katy was just offered the gig, sight unseen. ABC had already had concerns, RadarOnline had previously reported, that Katy Perry might upstage contestants. (Like Mariah Carey) Or that she might just need to tone down … not her look, but her very attention-grabbing personality. (As far as we can tell, that’s not a euphemism for her boobs) Judges are supposed to evaluate contestants, not overshadow them. Now, though, it sounds like ABC and American Idol are afraid that Katy’s just going to fall flat like she did at the VMAs. Just because someone is good at singing and performing doesn’t mean that they’re good at talking on camera. Similarly, like, just because someone’s great at giving interview or interviewing people doesn’t mean that they have a dazzling singing voice or would make an amazing performer. This should be a lesson to us all, we suppose: make sure that you hire the best and most highly recommended babysitter or dog-walker or whatever. Not just the one who happens to be hot.

Snooki Explains JWoww’s Goth VMAs Look: "She Needs To Smile!"

Perhaps the strangest look at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 28th was JWoww's attempt at emo-goth . As the Jersey Shore alum posed with her best friend, Snooki, fans couldn't help but mistake her for a malnourished vampire, or even the poor mans' Kat Von D. Snooki, bless her heart, came to JWoww's defense , explaining to TooFab that the mom to Meilani, 2, and Greyson, 3 months (dad is hubby, Roger Mathews) was nervous. “She's been preparing for the VMAs for forever,” Snooki said. “She wanted a new sexy look, she wanted to get back to her JWoww sexy look with the boobs out.” OK, fair.  She just had Greyson back in May, and sister wanted to get her groove back. She couldn't do that with a spray tan and the 'tude that we've grown to love? “She honestly looks better than she's ever looked ever,” Snooki insisted. “I'm so proud of her, she works so hard. Be that as it may, JWoww posed on the red carpet looking like she was in a bit of pain. “People did not like her look, I thought she looked hot, she had the new sleeve,” Snooki said, referring to her tattoo. “I think it was the way she posed. I told her to smile. She gets nervous for those things. “She was showing me all nice poses and then she went on and [blank face] I was like, 'Why do you look so angry?!'” “I think if she smiled, she would have had a better reaction,” adds Snooks. “She needs to smile, calm down!” For her part, JWoww shared a message with fans expressing how great she felt on Instagram. “I have never felt more beautiful. My body did amazing things giving birth to my two beautiful children,” JWoww wrote on the day of the VMAs. “Even though I may have been thinner prior to them… I never reached this level of love and appreciation for my body that I have until today. “During my pregnancy with Greyson, I told myself I want to get back in shape for myself, my family and for all the women out there that think after having kids they can't love how they look. “I am going to continue to kick ass for all the moms like me that had insecurities after their pregnancies and think they can't ever get back to where they were. Don't ever look in the past. Look in the future with your beautiful babies and know you can have your body back but the 'better version.'  The version that carried your perfect babies!  “So, I'm here to say you need to love ounce of yourself… Every stretch mark… Every part of you that makes you, YOU. I am thankful for my journey getting to this point and every goal I hit after.” Watch Snooki (and her super-inflatable lips) defend her friend in the video below.

Taylor Swift Farts on Camera, Internet Loses Its Mind

Before the 2015 VMAs on Sunday night, Taylor Swift introduced the video for “Wildest Dreams” on the red carpet. She also let one rip in front of her entire girl squad and millions of viewers. Or so the many, many people who shared the Vine below would have us believe. Look, we may never know for sure if Taylor dealt it, because frankly, none us smelt it. MTV claims the sound you hear was a malfunctioning mic, but it seems to correspond a bit too well with the look of shock and the memory of an ill-considered stop at Chipotle that flashes across Taylor's face. Anyway, we'll probably never know the truth, as the only nose-witnesses were a handful of MTV crew members who have probably been fixed with cement loafers by now, and the members of the ever-growing Swifty chick clique. And obviously they'll never talk. Calling Taylor out for filling the air with anything other than catchy pop jams and a faint whiff of Obsession by Calvin Klein has gotta be against the girl squad rules of conduct. Sadly, this time, Taylor can't blame  Kanye for interrupting her . The only culprit here is an unfortunate combination of pre-show jitters and over-tight Spanx. It's a rare phenomenon we call spanxiousness.

Selena Gomez: Wardrobe Malfunction at the VMAs?

As expected, it was hard to steal the spotlight from Miley Cyrus at the 2015 VMAs . Remarkably, Kanye West managed the feat with his bizarre 11-minute Video Vanguard acceptance speech , but no one else in the star-studded crowd stood a chance at snatching center stage from the two most outsized personalities in modern music. Not even boobs – usually the most surefire way to grab a crowd’s attention – could compete with the Kanye and Miley Show. Of course, that didn’t stop a handful of Twitter pervs from obsessing over the possibility of a Selena Gomez nipple: You can get out the magnifying glass and look for yourself, but frankly, we don’t see it. Apparently, Miley’s nip slip wasn’t enough for some people. Look, we’re all for unexpected nudity on TV, but if you’re watching an event hosted by Miley Cyrus and you find yourself desperately seeking more skin, it might be time to seek professional help. Selena might have actually been wearing the most conservative outfit of the night, and yet folks are still looking for a hint of nip. But hey, at least we can all agree she looked fantastic. maybe that’s why her ex-boyfriend started crying on stage. View Slideshow: 2015 VMA Fashion: Who Wore It Best?

17 Wildest Moments from the VMAs: What Will Happen Next?

It's almost time for the VMAs again! Will another artist announce she's pregnant? Will Miley Cyrus hump another grown man? Will Kanye West interrupt another speech? Check out the 17 craziest moments from the Video Music Awards over the past 30 years and prepare for whatever will go down on stage and off this summer. 1. Like a Virgin Madonna didn’t intend to writhe around on the stage during her 1984 performance of “Like a Virgin.” She lost one of her shoes and the rest became history. 2. Howard’s Johnson In 1992, shock jock Howard Stern appeared on stage dressed as his alter ego Fartman, complete with a huge prosthetic Johnson and bare backside. 3. Nirvana’s Surprise Performance Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain never really settled into the limelight like his bass guitarist bandmate Krist Novoselic who guzzled champagne before they shocked the world by playing “Rape Me” unexpectedly during their performance. Krist threw his guitar into the air and instead of catching it with his hands caught it with his face. 4. Beasties Vs. R.E.M When R.E.M. won an award the Beastie Boys believed should have been theirs, they busted into Michael Stipe’s acceptance speech with “THIS IS A FARCE!” Nice going, guys. 5. Van Halen Reunites When Van Halen reunited on the stage in 1996, the world rejoiced! The band was back together! And then the balloon deflated when Eddie Van Halen’s body language told the real story: These guys hated each other. 6. The Poison Apple Fiona Apple won a best new artist award in 1997 and promptly bit the hand that fed her. The then-20 year old called the entire industry “bullsh*t.” View Slideshow

Kesha: Topless at the VMAs! "Rainbow Naked Boob" Wins Instagram!

The dress that Kesha wore to the 2014 Video Music Awards has received some mixed reviews. But certainly we can all agree that K-dolla sign brought her A-game to Instagram during the event: Yes, in case naked Amber Rose wasn’t enough award show nudity for you, topless Kesha was there to pick up the slack. Sadly, her rainbow-colored locks are obscuring her awesome boobs, but we’ll take all the topless Instagramming we can get. Besides, until the Free the Nipple campaign is victorious IG will remain a tragically nip-free zone. And what was Kesha’s reason for posting this revealing backstage selfie? Simple, really: “Just doesn’t feel right NOT posting a partially nude pre VMA look. #rainbownakedboob” There you have it. While Miley Cyrus was getting all political , Kesha was raising awareness of her own boobs. Now that’s a cause we think anyone can get behind. Check out the rest of VMA fashion choices in the gallery below.  At the rate things are going expect a few starlets to just show up fully nude next year. We can’t wait! 2014 Video Music Awards Fashion: Who Looked Best? 1. Amber Rose at the VMAs Hello there, Amber Rose! The model appears to have left some of her VMA dress at home.

Nick Cannon: Depressed Over Mariah Carey Split, Rarely Gets to See His Children

Rumors had been circulating for months, so few were surprised yesterday when Nick Cannon confirmed his separation from Mariah Carey .  Even so, going public with the split may have been a foolish move on Cannon’s part. Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon Photos From Happier Times 1. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Red Carpet Photo Nick and Mariah posing for the paps. The couple is believed to have one of Hollywood’s most stable marriages. Reports that Cannon cheated on Mariah appear to be false, but even so, Carey seems to be holding all the cards with regard to custody of the couple’s two-year-old-twins. Sources say Carey is “pissed” that Cannon went public despite signing a non-disclosure agreement, and she may take it out on him by further restricting his already limited visitation rights. While we don’t know the cause of the separation of who initiated it, insiders seem to think it wasn’t Cannon’s idea, but he may be the one who holds most of the blame. While Carey has been permitted to stay at home with the children, Cannon has reportedly been living in hotels for several months, which seems to indicate that there was some indiscretion on Cannon’s part. Friends close to Cannon say the comedian seems “depressed,” and likely went public with the news of his separation simply because he’d reached a low point and was tired of keeping up appearances. Though it seems Cannon didn’t make his revelation for revenge purposes, he may still face retribution from Carey who reportedly wanted to keep the split a secret until after her upcoming tour.  Celebrity Break-Ups of 2014 1. Naya Rivera and Big Sean Naya Rivera and Big Sean called it quits while rumors that he cheated took the celebrity gossip blogosphere by storm.
