Lady Gaga on Weight Gain: What About Adele?!?

About a month ago, Lady Gaga admitted: she’s gained a little weight. It’s an issue that has tormented the singer for her entire life. In response, Gaga has started a “Body Revolution” on her Little Monsters website, asking fans to embrace their curves and inner beauty. Speaking to Stylist UK about the movement, she referenced another artist and compared the reception Adele has received versus the one that’s recently plagued Gaga. “Adele is bigger than me,” Gaga said . “How come nobody says anything about it? She’s so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has set the bar very high for a lot of woman. I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people.” And while it might help to shelve those lasagna recipes , Gaga says the true key to self-confidence comes from within – and without. “We should all make an effort to be nice to one another all the time,” Gaga says of women around the world.

Chris Brown Dresses as Islamic Terrorist For Rihanna Halloween Party

Chris Brown, a man already linked to violence and destruction on a regular basis, hit up Rihanna’s Halloween party last night dressed as … a stereotypical Islamic terrorist. Here’s the singer and his crew, Taliban style: The 23-year-old and his pals donned beards, turbans and fake guns as they made their way to a TSA Watch List Greystone Manor in West Hollywood. “Ain’t nobody F–king wit my clique!!! #ohb,” Chris tweeted, classily. Chris Brown himself hasn’t commented beyond that, but his mother, Joyce Hawkins, weighed in: “HALLOWEEN IS FOR FUN NOTHING MORE THAN JUST FUN.” “GET A LIFE PLEASE.” Thanks, Joyce. We’ll do that. It’s not like your boy goes out of his way to court controversy. Halloween is the time for shock value, but still. You’d think a convicted woman-beater with obvious rage issues might opt for a costume a little less provocative. You know, like Green Man from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia . Or Karrueche Tran . What do you think of Chris’ costume? Good fun or goodness, what is he thinking?   Harmless fun! Offensive and insensitive! View Poll »

Jessie Andrews, Adult Film Star, Films Music Video with Miley Cyrus

Jessie Andrews is making headlines tonight, but she’s doing so with her legs closed. The adult film star and reigning AVN Awards winner for Best Actress will actually star alongside Miley Cyrus in an upcoming video. How did that random association come about? Andrews is dating Israeli DJ Borgore, with whom Miley collaborated on the track ” Decisions .” So, naturally, both women appear in the song’s music video. Go behind the scenes of it here: Borgore Music Video: Behind the Scenes “She doesn’t want to be Hannah Montana anymore; she wants to be her own person,” Andrews told MTV of Miley’s steps toward adulthood over the past couple years. “The way she’s dressing, the hair, the music – everything is outside of the box. It didn’t really surprise me.” As for what fans can expect from the “Decisions” video? “That sh-t was crazy!” Miley told Rolling Stone last month. “[Borgore] walked into his hotel room, and it was people in the weirdest clothes you’ve ever seen. My fiancé [ Liam Hemsworth ] was dressed as a unicorn. We make out in the video, which is very funny. It’s just the most random group.” Ok, you got us. We can’t wait to watch it.

Kate Middleton: Ruining Pippa’s Life!

Pippa Middleton may have a new boyfriend in James Matthews , but her life is being RUINED by her big sister Kate, according to a new tabloid report. The National Enquirer claims that Pippa had to cancel a high-profile book tour of the United States following the Kate Middleton nude photo scandal. “Because the Royals feared Pippa would be questioned about Kate’s nude photo scandal, putting the whole mess back in the spotlight,” a source said. “Worse, Pippa was told to keep quiet when The Queen’s cohorts leaked phony stories to the press, [such as] Pippa herself cancelling her tour to keep the scandal from re-emerging!” The alleged (probably bogus) ruining of Pippa’s life was made worse by the fact that her sister delivered the blow personally – choosing her royal reputation over her sibling. “Palace officials stood firm and demanded that Kate personally break the devastating news. Extremely upset, she tried to persuade Prince William to intervene before her meeting with Pippa.” “[William] refused, saying it was an official matter that needed to be handled by her. Stressed and nervous, Kate did her awful duty – and Pippa broke down in tears!” Even some good old-fashioned begging couldn’t change the outcome for poor Pip. “She begged Kate to plead for her again, but it was no use. Their meeting ended with a forced hug, but Kate confessed to pals she fears their relationship will never be the same again.” The Queen of the Bottom undone by Kate Middleton bottomless photos. Ironic.
