We are down to eight contestants on The X Factor . The Fox competition scoffed in the face of family and football tonight, airing a results show that ended with two more acts being cut and the team of Britney Spears suffering mightily as a result. First up immediately? Arin Ray got the axe as the contestant with the lowest number of overall votes. “I think you should just take this as a learning experience,” Britney coldly told her charge after the announcement. CeCe Frey – “Because of You” Beatrice Miller – “White Flag” From there, following a performance by Cher Lloyd, the identity of the bottom two was revealed. Beatice Miller and CeCe Frey . The former went with Dido and the latter Kelly Clarkson (above) for their respective survival songs, as only Spears sided with Miller, making Beatrice Miller the second singer eliminated on the evening . So we’re down to eight, with Carly Rose Sonenclar the new overall votes leader. Do you agree with that result? And are the proper eight moving on? Yes, well done, judges! No, Beatrice deserved to stay! No, Arin deserved to stay! View Poll »
Arguably the best photographer in LA…if not the world, RonysPhotobooth ….a good friend of ours here at DrunkenStepfather…despite our constant teasing of his friends…. Well he sent one of his crew to a media event DrunkenStepfather was finally invited to…and not only showed up to…but brought the best fucking photographers in the city to….because we may be ghetto, but we’re fucking awesome…. I feel kinda bad that everyone went to the trouble to go to this announcement…that Selena Gomez just signed a 3 year deal as guest designer for Adidas….. I was hoping the event, that we weren’t given much info about, was going to be for a crotchless panty collection….not that Beiber is out of the picture and she can finally have sex… Either way, thanks to the crew at RonysPhotobooth for being so lovely….and I’m looking forward to more fun times like these…even if they weren’t fun for anyone involved….
The gay rumors swirling around Jessica Simpson’s father Joe are continuing unabated. The latest? His alleged tryst with male escort Joey Anderson. The National Enquirer , which previously alleged Joe’s dalliances with 21-year-old boy toy Bryce Chandler Hill , now says Simpson hired Anderson. The escort even passed a lie detector test , supposedly. Joey told the tabloid, “We rolled around, kissed and gave each other oral. He seemed to have an insatiable appetite for sex and never appeared tired.” Simpson denies he is gay . Hill also denied the alleged ties to him. Anderson, however, says it happened, alright, and he’s still promoting his “services.” The escort, who is really 32 but lies and says he’s 25, offers body rubs, massages and other fun activities on a website called “Hour Boy.” He also specializes in “foot play.” Lovely. Joey’s ad describes himself as such: “An angelic face, boyish w. long hair, masculine, fit, and smooth. Educated and can hold a convers. I am fully versatile, can be dom/rough or passionate and affectionate.” His fees range from $225-2,500. Joe supposedly paid $600. Not bad. Joe has not commented on the persistent rumors except to make this announcement on his recent divorce from Tina Simpson after 34 years: “It is an amicable split and there is no third party involved,” the parents of Jessica and Ashlee said, adding that, “any other related allegations are completely false.” What do you think? Is Joe Simpson gay? Yes No How would I know?!? View Poll »
Kim Kardashian Slams Ryan Seacrest Over Engagement Rumors Rotund-rumped reality star Kim Kardashian is finally speaking out rumors that her G.O.O.D. music man Yeezy gave her some ring-finger bling and popped the question on her birthday. Kim spoke directly to E! News over the weekend regarding the “rumor” and even put former E! News host Ryan Seacrest on blast for stirring the pot. “I think we could definitely see an update on this story on Monday,” Seacrest had speculated over the airwaves nearly two weeks ago, while Kim and Kanye were celebrating her birthday in Europe. The implication being West would be putting a ring on the twice-married — and still not divorced — Kim. “I don’t know where Ryan came up with that,” Kardashian told E! News on Saturday, adding, “Ryan, I’m so mad at you, where did you come up with that? You’re starting rumors.” Hmmm..we’re still a little skeptical on this one since it’s no secret that this attention-sloring couple likes to do their own dirty work when it comes to putting the details of their relationship out in the streets. If they do get engaged, we doubt KimYe would let anyone else one-up them on the announcement.
Kim Kardashian has posted a new photo to Instagram. I just wanna chill in my sweats, the reality star wrote as a caption to this photo, and it’s unclear what’s stopping her… aside from just having to show the world her sports bra, that is: This is the second time in a few days Kim has given followers a glimpse of her largely uncovered body. In anticipation of Halloween, she posted a picture of herself as a sexy cat earlier in the week.
Donald Trump tried to drop a bombshell on the 2012 Presidential Election this afternoon… only for it to land with a thud. The real estate mogul will donate $5 million to a charity of Barack Obama’s choice if POTUS unveils his college transcripts?!? That’s an offer, not a piece of news. As you might expect, the non-reveal made for some entertaining Twitter fodder. We’ve collected some of the best celebrity-based responses below… Donald Trump Obama Announcement, Offer Patton Oswalt : “Ransom needy kids for attention! Do it! DO IT!” — @realDonaldTrump’s possessed scalp-mop, which apparently controls him.” Damon Lindelof : “Donald Trump’s bold gambit is kinda like Mel Gibson’s in RANSOM, except incredibly f–king stupider…Mr. President, I too will write a $5 million check, but only if you can MAKE YOURSELF ACTUALLY TRANSPARENT. (a la Violet from Incredibles).” Drew Carey : “Someone should make a Kickstarter to offer #Trump 5 million to shut up about #Obama already.” Andy Cohen : “I am giving Mr. Trump a 5pm deadline to deal w/the hair…If Mitt Romney releases his tax returns by 5pm I will give him 5 million high fives.” Lizz Winstead : “BREAKING: Donald Trump replaces bed bugs as Americas #1 Pest…Lets all give 5 million to Trumps Favorite charity if he produces his Worth Certificate.” Seth Meyers : “But did you play intramurals, Mr. President? Answer the question!!!!” Invisible Obama : “Will trade college records and passport applications for @MittRomney’s tax returns and a player to be named later.”
Donald Trump’s much-touted Obama “bombshell” announcement really wasn’t much of one … although he did make an intriguing offer to the President. The Donald claimed credit for getting the President to release his birth certificate last year, then called on him to be fully transparent with the public. Donald Trump Obama Announcement, Offer If Obama releases his college transcripts, passport applications and other records by October 31, Trump will cut a $5 million check to his charity of choice. That’s it. As PR stunts go, not his best work. As many predicted, Trump focused on Obama’s perceived lack of transparency, though he sort of misled us into thinking he actually had some new info on the guy. Anyway, should Obama take Trump up on it? Yes! It’s the right thing to do, AND it’s $5 million! No! It’s Donald Trump! View Poll »
