Happy 35th Birthday, Kanye West!

Kanye West turns 35 years old today, and we all know how the rapper will celebrate: By marrying Kim Kardashian ! Okay, probably not. But the artist’s relationship with the busty (seriously, look at the following photo!) reality star has dominated all coverage of West for weeks now. Is this really the same guy who used to stand out for his scandalous quotes and catchy beats? And now he’s been reduced to desperate cliche of dating Kim Kardashian for publicity? So very sad… Other celebrities celebrating birthdays today include Keenen Ivory Wayans (54), Joan Rivers (79) and Jerry Stiller (85). But of course it all comes back to Kanye, the man who once ranted that he is treated like Hitler . Send him your birthday wishes now and click through the following photo montage in his honor…

Bored Facebook Users Tuning Out Site?

Facebook’s botched IPO might be the least of its problems. Surveys say that while it remains the undisputed king of social media, a significant number of users are bored and tuning out the site these days. According to a new poll by Reuters and research firm Ipsos, roughly a third of Facebook users, and climbing, are feeling increasingly “meh” about it. The poll of 1,000 Americans also showed that 80 percent of Facebook users have never purchased a product or service because of an ad on there. Whatever advertising techniques companies are currently using to grab your cash simply isn’t working, in other words … not good news for Zuck. Unsurprisingly, the survey found that users between the ages of 18-34 were the most active, while just 29 percent of people over 55 are on it. People who spend a great deal of time on the network are more frequently becoming victims of what the researchers call “Facebook fatigue.” This leads them to spend less and less time checking in with friends and browsing the profiles of their peers, instead turning their attention elsewhere. What do you think? Have your Facebook habits changed? Do you use other social media platforms more now, and if so, which? And why? NOTE : You can FOLLOW THG on Twitter and Google+ as well as Facebook for your celebrity gossip and news needs, however you like them!

John Travolta Surfaces, Honors Shirley MacLaine

John Travolta briefly surfaced Thursday night to honor his friend Shirley MacLaine at the American Film Institute, appearing in public for the first time in awhile. He has kept a very low profile amid a series of lawsuits involving male-on-male sexual misconduct and allegations of a gay affair (with pilot Doug Gotterba ). There was no discussion of that last night, just a tribute to MacLaine. Travolta spoke on stage , alongside Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts. The 58-year-old actor said, “Several years ago, Warren Beatty was talking about a young actress. And I said to him, ‘What was she like?’ And he said, ‘She filled the room with presence like I’ve never seen before.'” “And I said, “You know your sister, Shirley? She fills the room with presence.'” Travolta then added, “She fills the world with presence like no one I’ve ever seen before.” “And that’s my Shirley. And I love you.” “Shirley MacLaine is first a dancer, and when you move from Broadway to film to television to writing to directing, you have to move with the grace of a dancer. To train and push harder than you ever thought you could.” Well said.
