As a one-time witch, Christine O’Donnell should watch who she calls “creepy.” America’s favorite ultraconservative princess/occult dabbler continues to make the media rounds to promote her new book, hitting Today this morning. In response to questions about walking out on Piers Morgan earlier this week, she called out the CNN host and his line of “inappropriate” questioning. Christine O’Donnell Ad According to O’Donnell, it was Piers’ “very inappropriate, creepy line of questioning” that featured “sex questions that he would not ask of a man.” We disagree. If a male politician made railing against gay marriage and masturbating a centerpiece of his platform. Piers would probably bring it up. Furthermore, Piers’ questions all covered topics in her book Trouble Maker , which she was there to promote. She didn’t like them, so she peaced out. No, not on a broom.
In what may have been a slight exaggeration, Anthony Bourdain referred to celebrity chef Paula Deen this was as the worst, most dangerous person in America . What does Deen have to say about the No Reservations host in response? “Anthony Bourdain needs to get a life,” she told The New York Post . “You don’t have to like my food, or Rachael’s, Sandra’s and Guy’s. But it’s another thing to attack our character. I wake up every morning happy for where I am in life. It’s not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute by using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks.” Deen added that Bourdain has contributed nothing to society, aside from “being irritable.” Fighting words, folks!

The Mother Monster talks about which of the country’s big problems she’d like to solve. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Sway Calloway Lady Gaga Photo: Scott Gries/ Picture Group Lady Gaga has never been shy to stump for political causes. She’s stumped for marriage equality and spoke out against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Her Born This Way track “Americano” even touches on immigration issues, but just because she’s currently pop music’s most vocal advocate doesn’t mean she’d want anything to do with actually holding public office. During the live “MTV First: Lady Gaga” on Thursday night, the singer said that she has no aspirations to ever do something like become president, even if she was given a free pass for the day to be the leader of the free world. Watch as Gaga lets her fans announce that she’s opening the VMAs this year. “Well, first of all, I wouldn’t want to be president for the day,” she told MTV News. “And I say that because I really, for myself, it’s important that my message, although it has political implications, I like to keep myself separate. “Because politics can constrain things,” she continued. “So our message can be completely free of any politics and we can just surge forward.” Lady Gaga gave us the real story behind her “Yo

Biden did not attend the game. On Wednesday, he watched the Hoyas beat the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons 98-81. Associated Press
Ashley Smith, from Chesapeake, won the pageant in Las Vegas July 17, becoming only the second African American to win the Miss United States title in the competition’s 11 years of existence. “I was actually planning to take a year off from pageants to focus on school and work,” said Smith, 23. “But something inside of me told me to give it a shot.” She entered the contest in March, and won Miss Virginia United States a month later, to earn the trip to Las Vegas. “It all happened so fast, but I knew it was all part of a great plan. I just had to be persistent and take the journey,” Smith said. As Miss United States, Smith will travel across the country for a year, promoting the Miss United States organization and her personal platform of breast cancer awareness. “My life changed forever when my mother became the first person in my family diagnosed with breast cancer. I began to look at the disease in a completely different way and vowed to educate others that breast cancer is an impartial killer,” she said. Smith, a graduate of Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, earned a degree in communication from ODU in 2010, and is currently pursuing a master’s in journalism at Regent University. She was awarded the title of Miss Virginia United States during the pageant in Richmond the weekend of April 8-10. Smith’s communication expertise helped her ace the interview portion of the contest, a key component of judging. Pageant week in Las Vegas last month saw a series of successes for Virginia entrants. The commonwealth placed young women among the top three in all four pageant categories, including Smith’s win in the biggest event. “My family and I used to make a big deal of watching pageants on TV,” Smith said. “I always thought those girls were so beautiful; I never imagined that would be me some day. Growing up, I didn’t have many friends and had very low self-esteem. Pageants helped me turn that around and today I’m able to help other young women who struggle with the same issue.” Smith has worked hard to promote breast cancer awareness for the past eight years, even before she started entering pageants. Among her community service activities, she founded and serves as executive director of the Queen of P.I.N.K. Pageant, a fundraiser event in which all the entrants are breast cancer survivors. She is also the webmaster for Relay for Life of Chesapeake and media representative for Strut the Runway for Breast Cancer Inc. “When your work comes from your heart, that work can only find another heart to reach,” she said. “It may take years before you realize the extent of your service, but genuine volunteerism always touches people’s lives in unimaginable ways.” Smith prides herself on living her “Christian Mission out loud.” How To Balance Health & Happiness EXCLUSIVE: American Idol Alumni Nearly Shot To Death During Robbery

In newly-released excerpts from an Out Magazine interview, Adam Levine took American Idol to task this week, claiming the competition forces its gay contestants to hide their sexuality . Asked about that accusation, Idol / So You Think You Can Dance producer Nigel Lythoe essentially told Entertainment Weekly : HUH?!? Indirectly or intentionally, Adam Lambert and Adam Levine continue to cross paths. “To be frank, I didn’t understand why we’re talking about contestants being gay or not gay,” Lythoe said . “I don’t go into my dentist and say, “Are you gay?” I don’t say to contestants on So You Think You Can Dance , “Are you gay?” What does it got to do with me? What does it got to do with anybody? When does privacy stop in this country? “If somebody wants to say they’re gay, it’s up to them. You don’t expect us to turn around and say, “Are you gay?” Why would we do that? – “By the way, he’s a Catholic and he supports Obama and here’s his sexuality” – what does that have anything to do with singing talent? Maybe it does for Adam Levine, but not for me.” But what about Adam Lambert ? “He must have come out before being on Idol , he just didn’t talk about it on Idol ,” the producer said. “And why should he? Is every actor going on television going to say, “I’m only playing the part of a straight man, I’m really gay”? There’s no reason that I would see why anybody that goes on television should start coming out with who they are, what they are, what they’re sexuality is, who they’re going to vote for or what their religion is.”
