20 One Hit Wonders We Love … or Love to Hate

Ask anybody you meet to name a one hit wonder and they’ll be able to do it. We might not remember who sang it, but the melody is probably an earworm we can’t forget. Like the Kandi Burruss hit that heads off the slideshow below. Sure, she’s a Grammy winner, but Porsha Williams landed more hits on Kenya Moore than Kandi landed on the charts as a solo artist. And then there’s Brooke Hogan, Chumbawumba, and  American Idol alums Elliott Yamin and Kimberly Locke! One hit wonders are so ubiquitous Tom Hanks and Liv Tyler made a movie about them. Everybody remember pulling for Tom Everett Scott to get the girl  and the gig? I do. I also remember these 20 one hit wonders which are sure to rock your morning. Or just send you fondly strolling down Nostalgia Lane. 20 One Hit Wonders Open Slideshow 1. Afroman – Because I Got High Well if this one hit wonder isn’t PERFECT for 4/20, we just don’t know what is. View As List 1. Afroman – Because I Got High Well if this one hit wonder isn’t PERFECT for 4/20, we just don’t know what is. 2. Kandi – Don’t Think I’m Not Before she was a Real Housewife of Atlanta, Kandi Burruss was going by Kandi and recording songs like “Don’t Think I’m Not.” 3. Norman Greenbaum – Spirit In The Sky As an oft-featured song on movie soundtracks, it’s hard to believe Spirit In The Sky was Norman Greenbaum’s only hit. 4. D4L – Laffy Taffy Hmmm, wonder if this was the inspiration for all of Miley Cyrus’ twerking? Or if maybe they were all just munching on Laffy Taffy and this is what came out of D4L’s jam session. 5. Brooke Hogan – About Us Brooke Hogan, daughter of Hulk Hogan, tried to make it in the music business. She failed. It was epic. 6. Kimberly Locke – Eighth World Wonder Kimberly Locke, another American Idol finalist, is also another one hit wonder. But hey, she had one, right? That’s more than Taylor Hicks can say, and he WON. 7. Asher Roth – I Love College Do you know why Asher Roth loved college? Probably because he knew how to celebrate 4/20. 8. Carl Douglas – Kung Fu Fighting Don’t even try to pretend like you haven’t sung this song while ALSO pretending you’re really Kung Fu fighting. 9. Aqua – Barbie Girl Barbie Girl. Because life is fantastic when you’re plastic. Or living off of air and light. 10. Mr. Big – To Be With You Mr. Big’s “To Be With You” is like many of the 80s big hair ballads: the only one the band made. 11. Right Said Fred – I’m Too Sexy Maybe you ARE too sexy for your shirt. If so, there’s a one hit wonder for that. 12. Nena – 99 Luftballoons If you don’t know “99 Luftballoons” you should. Watch Wedding Crashers and get educated. Or just watch this video. 13. Elliott Yamin – Wait For You Elliott Yamin, and American Idol finalist, has exactly ONE HIT under his post-Idol belt. But hey, it was a decent one? 14. Yael Naim – New Soul After Yael Naim’s “New Soul” became the apple theme song, we didn’t hear anything else from her, which is too bad, because this song’s fun! 15. Baha Men – Who Let The Dogs Out “Who Let The Dogs Out” was another song of summer that led the Baha Men….nowhere. Oh well. 16. Come On Eileen Come ON, Eileen! Why’d you have to go and be a one-hit wonder? 17. Tony Basil – Mickey Oh, Tony, it’s a pity, you don’t understand, that this song featuring you in a cheerleading skirt in your mid-30s was destined to be your only hit. 18. Chumbawumba – Tubthumping This song probably became a one hit wonder because NO ONE KNOWS what “Tubthumping” is about! Except alcohol. We got that. 19. Len – Steal My Sunshine “Steal My Sunshine” was Len’s ONLY hit, which all too often happens to songs of summer. 20. Marcy Playground – Sex and Candy Marcy Playground’s “Sex and Candy” is actually ABOUT drugs. And sex. It’s, like, totally rock and roll.

Donovan Leitch: Gwyneth Paltrow Ex-Boyfriend, Cheating Partner?

Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted kissing former flame Donovan Leitch in September 2013, six months before she and her husband Chris Martin called it quits. Leaning in at an L.A. Dodgers game, a makeup-free and dressed-down Paltrow, 41, gave Leitch, 47, what appears to be a friendly kiss on the lips . The British actor wrapped his arm around her neck as Paltrow and Martin’s daughter Apple, 9, and son Moses, 7, sat next to them in the front row. The GOOP blogger and Donovan Leitch go way back. They dated in the early ’90s, prior to her high-profile romances with Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin , who met at a Coldplay concert in 2002, tied the knot the following year. They split this week after 10 years. “It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate,” the new-age pair wrote in a statement announcing their ” conscious uncoupling .” “We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us.” Unfortunately, the search for what might have been possible led to the “conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.” “We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been,” the Martin-Paltrow statement continued. “We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time.” 10 Most Shocking Hollywood Divorces Open Slideshow 1.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin: It’s Over!

Another Hollywood couple has bitten the dust. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced this afternoon that they are separating after a decade of marriage. “It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate,” the stars announced on the GOOP website under the heading “Conscious Uncoupling.” Paltrow and Martin are the parents of two children: Apple, 9, and Moses, 7. The actress and the singer added that they have “working hard for well over a year” to make the relationship work. However… “We have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate,” they wrote. “We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been.”  Emphasizing how they are “parents first and foremost,” the long-time couple made a plea for privacy and concluded: “We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.” The Oscar winner and the Coldplay frontman tied the knot in a secret ceremony in late 2003 and have faced breakup rumors for many years. There’s even been chatter that Paltrow cheated on Martin , but only in the world of supermarket tabloids. We wish each side nothing but happiness and are confident Gwyneth will shrug off any critics that come down on her for this split. 9 Most Shocking Hollywood Divorces Open Slideshow 1.

Jenelle Evans Baby Bump Photo: Too Cute or TMI?

Jenelle Evans is pregnant and proud … and pierced. The Teen Mom 2 star snapped a selfie with her hair down, purple sweatpants, and a tight pink tank top that showcased her burgeoning baby bump. “Moving right along… #Pregnancy,” Jenelle wrote. She also shared a photo of her bare, tattooed tummy, pierced with a belly ring that reads “Baby on Board.” We’re a little scared for the impending arrival … While a lot of peeps probably don’t need/want to see that, the Teen Mom selfie queen knows no boundaries when it comes to sharing on social media . “LMAO I feel like a Buddha #BabyBump,” Evans joked. No one was LMAOing over the Jenelle Evans-Nathan Griffith fight that leaked to the web this week. The two had a BLOWOUT at the end of January. They seem to have patched things up since, but wow. Evans, who has a four-year-old son Jace with ex Andrew Lewis, is expecting her second child, another boy, with current boyfriend Nathan this summer. After years of drug abuse, toxic romances and legal woes, Jenelle has been looking happy and healthy lately (relatively speaking) as she prepares for #2. We can’t help but be concerned after this, though: Jenelle Evans, Nathan Griffith FIGHT

Kate Middleton, Cressida Bonas Not a "Natural Fit" For the Royal Family?

Kate Middleton and Cressida Bonas might both be royals pretty soon as Prince Harry will likely propose to Bonas in 2014, but an upcoming book implies that neither of them should really be members of the House of Windsor at all. Marcia Moody , in her book  Harry: A Biography , says “Kate and Cressida aren’t a natural fit, left to their own devices.” What she means is that neither is really fit to be Queen. Look here, Marcia Moody. NOBODY PUTS KATE MIDDLETON IN THE CORNER. Or Cressida Bonas, for that matter. Cressida Bonas and Kate Middleton Much of the criticism, it seems, comes from the ways in which these women met their real-life Prince Charmings.  Kate Middleton and Prince William met at St. Andrews College and began their love affair. The world watched as a relatively ordinary girl became a princess. (Okay, okay, Duchess.)  It was quite the fairy tale. Cressida Bonas’ story, however, is a little more…rock and roll. Cressida Bonas and Prince Harry met at a music festival when her best friend–Princess Eugenie, who happens to be Harry’s cousin–introduced them. The University of Leeds graduate tends to live a more casual life than that of Kate Middleton’s appearances at formal functions. But to say they’re not fit for the monarchy? Come on. When the time comes for Cressida Bonas to enter the Royal Family, Kate Middleton will be there to assist her in whatever way Bonas’ needs. Because that’s just who Kate Middleton is. “Kate will be there for Cressida with any concerns regarding being in the public eye,” Moody writes. Middleton has already shown her approval of Prince Harry’s “Cressy” by inviting Bonas to Prince George’s October christening. Bonas declined to attend so as to keep the attention on Prince George and the happy occasion. See? Cressida Bonas totally knows how to play the game. She’s ready for life in the spotlight.

Bruce Jenner Sex Change Talk: Totally "Absurd," Friend Says

Will he or won’t he appear on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 10 ? That question remains up for debate. But will the Bruce Jenner sex change rumor actually become a reality? NO CHANCE, a friend of the reality star tells People. 9 Photos of Bruce Jenner Looking Sort of Like a Woman Open Slideshow 1.

Hey, man, whatever makes you happy. 8. Bruce Jenner, Long Hair Bruce Jenner exits his car in this photograph. Rumors of a sex change continue to plague the reality star. 9. Bruce Jenner Goes Shopping Yes, this really is a photo of Bruce Jenner. We understand if you thought it was a woman. Talk of Jenner undergoing this unusual procedure surfaced weeks ago after Bruce agreed to a “tracheal shave” and reduced the size of his Adam’s Apple. But a pal says the sex change is an “absurd” topic to discuss, while another insider agrees. “Bruce has never expressed interest in becoming a woman,” the second source says in the latest issue of the magazine.  Having split from his wife of 23 years and permanently settled on his own in Malibu, the consensus seems to be that Jenner is just having a midlife crisis of some kind. Some do worry that he’ll be the next Michael Jackson in terms of his addiction to plastic surgery… but multiple moles deny all talk of a gender switch. “The guy is getting older and doing what he can to keep a youthful look. If that means plastic surgery, so be it,” an insider explains, acknowledging that Jenner is suffering from “an identity crisis. But not a penis crisis. There’s a big difference.

Khloe Kardashian to Fur: FXCK YO!

She may have been in a celebratory on last night’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 9 Episode 5 , after witnessing Kanye West propose to her sister. But Khloe Kardashian was in a confrontational mood this morning in New York City. The reality star walked around The Big Apple with a fake fur coat on and the words “FXCK YO FUR” spray-painted across her back. A Khloe Kardashian nude PETA campaign in 2008 made it clear where this celebrity stands when it comes to donning animals as clothing. She split with that company in 2012, however, after a PETA-affiliated activist tossed flour on Kim Kardashian during a red carpet event. Really, this flour bombing actually happened. Relive it now: Kim Kardashian: Flour Bombed!

Flappy Bird Taken Down From App Stores; Developer "Cannot Take This Anymore"

Flappy Bird, the addictive mobile game that flew to the top of the iPhone and Android app downloads charts in recent months, has now flown the coop. A tweet from the creator suggested that its huge success had become a burden for him personally, despite the insane sums of money he banked. “I am sorry ‘Flappy Bird’ users, 22 hours from now, I will take ‘Flappy Bird’ down,” developer Dong Nguyen wrote Saturday. “I cannot take this anymore.” What is the “this” he’s referring to? Flappy Bird Pulled Nguyen, a Vietnamese developer with a studio called DotGears, did not reply to interviews request, but has previously said that the game “ruined” his “simple life.” “It is not anything related to legal issues,” he said. “I just cannot keep it anymore.” The notoriety for creating the no-frills game, in which players steer a tiny bird through an obstacle course of metal pipes, is not something he ever sought. Although new players can no longer download “Flappy Bird,” the popular game remains playable for those who had already added it to their devices. As of last week, “Flappy Bird” had an average four-star rating from more than 543,000 reviews in the Apple App Store and 228,000 on Android. It reportedly earns $50,000 a DAY in mobile ad sales alone. As the flap over the game being taken down continues, hundreds of phones with “Flappy Bird” installed have appeared on eBay at prices up to $15,000.
