Drew Ryniewicz is only 14 years old, but she’s clearly a lot more mature than a handful of her fans. In response to this singer’s elimination from The X Factor last week, a few supporters took to Facebook and didn’t merely blame Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger for Drew’s ousting… they directed vicious death threats at the panelists . Drew Ryniewicz – What a Feeling Now, Ryniewicz has spoken out against these misguided souls, telling TMZ “that’s not what I represent and that’s not what I want my fans to represent,” concluding simply: “No one deserves death threats.” Preach on, Drew! The X Factor continues on Wednesday night with the remaining five contestants singing two songs each.
This is one of the more insane, and ridiculous moments in amateur sports history, but wow. Just wow. There are no other words needed to sum up the video clip below. Don’t try this at home. Not only is it somewhat dangerous, but it may take you a million attempts to jump off a boat at full speed and catch frisbee flung from a bridge. The result was a catch so insane, you assume it’s fake, but multiple camera angles and news reports confirm it’s not. Whether you love sports or not, you’ll cheer this: Insane Speedboat Frisbee Catch
Drew Ryniewicz is no longer a contestant on The X Factor. She was surprisingly eliminated last night , following Tuesday’s seated cover of “Billie Jean.” But there is a bright side for the 14-year old singer: her musical hero, Justin Bieber , gave Drew a shout-out soon after the results show came to an end. “@drewryniewicz keep your head up,” Justin wrote. “I lost my first competition too. this is just the beginning for u. never say never. best wishes.” Drew Ryniewicz – Listen to Your Heart On a conference call with reporters this morning, meanwhile, Ryniewicz said she’s come to more peace with her elimination than her mentor, Simon Cowell. “He feels guilty,” Drew said. “I don’t think he should feel guilty at all because I got to the top 7. Not everybody can win this show, and he has two girls left representing him.” Still, the young crooner admits to wishing she could have showed viewers “that side of me that is a teenager who dances around — the fun side. I’m definitely going to do that with my album.” Overall, Drew refers to The X Factor as “the greatest experience of my life,” adding: “And everyone’s going to be going home, whether they’re the winner or someone else, in the next few weeks. So for me to have made it this far is an honor. For me to be on the first X Factor [in the] U.S.A. and, you know, just to be able to say that I’ve worked with Simon Cowell, and I’m best friends with Melanie and Rachel Crow.” It’s certainly not a bad position to be in. We wish Drew all the best.
America might have talent. But it no longer has Piers Morgan as a reality show judge. “I’m leaving America’s Got Talent after 6 wonderful years,” Morgan Tweeted last night, following an announcement on his CNN talk show.“Turned out that juggling’s harder than it looks, so I’m going to focus on CNN.” Morgan went on to thank “NBC, Fremantle, and of course, my friend Simon Cowell, for giving me such a great opportunity. It’s been a blast.” No word yet on who might replace this panelist, but first chime in: Will you miss Piers Morgan on America’s Got Talent ?
Here we go again: A pregnant reality star who dated Mel Gibson briefly during the summer is telling friends that the actor is the father of her unborn baby. Laura Bellizzi, 35, and Gibson, 55, denied the claim when contacted for comment, and a source close to Gibson insists that it’s “physically impossible.” Unless Mel got “fixed” after the Oksana Grigorieva debacle, we’re not sure what that means. In any case, he says it’s not true. Radar says otherwise . A supposedly close insider says that Laura Bellizzi has already confided to friends that Mel is the baby daddy, but does not want the big news to go public. “Laura’s being as secretive as she can be about it,” the source said. “But she’s really showing now, and people are beginning to ask: ‘Who’s the daddy?’” The well-placed source says Laura, who appeared on VH1’s Secrets of Aspen in 2010, is more than four months pregnant. She and Mel dated this summer. “Laura and Mel met through mutual friends in Malibu; the chemistry was instant,” a source said. A family member says the baby has “a famous father.” Mel has seven kids with his estranged wife, Robyn Moore, and a daughter, Lucia, from his relationship with Russian pianist/singer/gold digger Grigorieva. As Mariah Yeater proved, you can’t believe every baby mama coming out of the woodwork. Although in Mel’s case, it clearly wouldn’t be the first time.
Drew Ryniewicz grew a bit serious on The X Factor last night. On an episode where the remaining 11 contestants selected songs from various movies, this 14-year old covered a Coldplay classic, “Fix You.” She was praised by Paula Abdul for the “honest” performance, while Nicole Scherzinger used the rendition to take a swipe at Simon Cowell. “Unlike your mentor you are a slice of heaven,” the former Pussycat Doll gushed/slammed.
