Iggy Azalea: Tour Canceled Due to Low Ticket Sales?

What a difference a year makes. Last summer, you couldn’t set foot in public without hearing about how “fancy” Iggy Azalea is. In 2015, however, the Aussie femcee is about as popular as Crocodile Dundee and other short-lived trends from Down Under. Talk of Iggy’s tour being canceled due to lack of interest began to circulate back in March, and this week, the news was confirmed: Iggy-Ig’s troubled Great Escape Tour has officially been put out of its misery, and full refunds will be issued to the (shockingly few) fans who purchased tickets. It’s the latest in a long line of setbacks for the divisive rapper, who’s endured a year full of feuds, rapidly declining popularity, and being publicly referred to as ” Satan in the form of mayonnaise .” Just last week, thousands signed a petition to revoke Iggy’s Billboard Music Award  as a result of their belief that the 24-year-old Sydney native is undeserving of such an honor. Iggy enjoyed a modest popularity boost last week thanks to her Britney Spears collaboration “Pretty Girls,” but it looks like the renewed fan interest came too late to save the tour that was scheduled to kick off September 18 in San Diego. Azalea apologized to fans on social media, tweeting, “I’m so sad and sorry to let my fans down… we’ll be back out on the road when the next album is done.” No official reason was given for the cancelation, but as industry insiders have been reporting disappointing sales for months, it’s widely believed that a simple lack of interest doomed the 21-city jaunt from the start.

Amber Portwood and Matt Baier: It’s Over!

Back in December, we reported that Amber Portwood was dating a 43-year-old ex-con by the name of Matt Baier. Massive age difference aside, the relationship was an odd one from the start, as it was quickly revealed that Baier was obsessed with Jenelle Evans and several other Teen Mom cast members. So it’s probably a good thing that insiders are reporting Portwood has finally dumped Baier. “They broke up earlier this week,” a source tells Radar Online. “They had a very tumultuous relationship.” Another insider says Amber never fully trusted Baier and suspected him of cheating throughout their relationship. Whatever the cause, the breakup appears to have been sudden. Just last week, Amber gushed about Baier on Twitter, writing: “I’m blessed to have you by my side through these hard times…Love you.” The “hard times” Amber is referring to likely include the death of Portwood’s father who passed away in December from liver damage caused by decades of heavy drinking. Friends say Baier was extremely supportive of Amber through that crisis, but they also claim he had more bad qualities than good. Baier was reportedly chronically unemployed and had been arrested several times n the past for charges ranging from DUI to assault. Sounds like Amber dodged a bullet on this one. Watch Teen Mom online to see just how unlucky in love Amber has been. Amber Portwood Photos: Through Good Times & Bad 1. Amber Portwood Makeover Amber Portwood’s makeover looks pretty great. At least compared to her mug shot chic look of the past.

Amy Adams Today Show Appearance Canceled: Why?

Amy Adams’ scheduled appearance on NBC’s Today Show was canceled this week because of a topic she was going to be asked about, but refused to discuss. What was that, exactly? The Big Eyes actress, 40, was told she’d be asked about the widespread hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and documents and details that were leaked. She was not having it, and told the show in no uncertain terms that she would not talk about the topic. Today , in turn, decided to pull Adams’ interview. “Amy’s segment was pulled suddenly after she expressed that she’d rather not discuss the hack,” an insider says. “She was not aggressive or freaking out.” “It is unfortunate. Amy didn’t do anything wrong and they pulled the interview .” Today sources painted a different picture, mentioning so-called “demands.” “As a news program, the Today show doesn’t allow guests to put restrictions on interviews,” a rep for the show said in response to the Adams story. “In this case … we felt uncomfortable with the demands being made, and we determined the best course of action for all parties involved was to cancel the interview.” “As a courtesy, Amy and her team were told well in advance that she might get asked about Sony, and that it was entirely up to her whether she wanted to answer.” Adams was directly involved in the Sony hacking and associated leaks. She and Jennifer Lawrence , two female stars of American Hustle , made a lot less from it than co-stars Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, and Jeremy Renner. Beyond that, it’s unclear what she would have been asked about. It’s equally unclear whether she requested she not be asked about Sony or flat-out refused. 9 Things We Learned From the Sony Hacking Scandal 1. New Ghostbusters Cast Revealed! One email reveals that the studio is hoping to have Jennifer Lawrence, Melissa McCarthy, Emma Stone, and Lizzy Caplan star in the upoming all-female Ghostbusters reboot. Well, “all-female” isn’t quite accurate. The ladies will be joined by an A-list male star, who will apparently need to be dragged to the set kicking and screaming…

Better Call Saul Trailer: Who is Jimmy McGill?!

Christmas has come early for Breaking Bad fans. The first trailer for the highly-anticipated BB spinoff Better Call Saul dropped today, and as you might have guessed it prominently features Bob Odenkirk’s fan favorite…Jimmy McGill? Yes, as obsessive Bad fans know, Saul Goodman is not Saul Goodman’s real name, but rather a Don Draper-esque nom de business that he felt would help him score clients and shed his loser-y past. Better Call Saul takes place before Jimmy adopted his semitic alias (“for the homeboys who want a member of the tribe”) but as you can see in this clip, the ambulance-chasing attorney is still all about that day of atonement: Better Call Saul Trailer From the looks of things, Saul will be more lighthearted in tone than its source material. Then again, the Adventures of Walt and Jesse started off darkly comedic, before going to a place where the show offered the occasional laughs, but could hardly be described as a comedy. Of course, it might be a good thing for Saul to distinguish itself as its own, standalone series right out of the gate. Some critics have called Breaking Bad the best drama of all time , and Saul runs the risk of being crushed under the weight of fan expectations before its pilot even airs. Having Jimmy go by his birth name (at least in the pilot) is a good way of establishing right from the start that this is an entirely different season that simply takes place within the same Meth-Fueled Albuquerque universe as Breaking Bad. Naturally, Better Call Saul will feature cameos from BB characters, (we already know Jonathan Banks’ badass Mike Ehrmantraut will pop up in season one) but hopefully the writers will focus on Jimmy/Saul, and allow Odenkirk to do for smarmy lawyers what Bryan Cranston did for unlikely drug kingpins. Better Call Saul premieres on February 8 at 10 pm on AMC. If that’s too long to wait, you can watch Breaking Bad online at TV Fanatic and/or check our this ingenious BB/Frozen mash-up: Breaking Bad-Frozen Mash-Up

Leah Messer Stands By Marriage, Reveals "Struggle" With Jeremy Calvert

In the wake of a cheating scandal and overall marital discord, Leah Messer reveals on Facebook that things with Jeremy Calvert have been a “struggle” of late. The embattled Teen Mom 2 star shared the following, telling wisdom online: “Great marriages are the result of two people who struggle through a challenge but find a way to stay together in the process,” ending that post with #marriage tip. Messer’s marriage to Calvert has been a roller coaster ride from the start. She’s got two daughters by her previous husband Corey Simms, and one of them has major health problems, making for a very stressful home life. Not only that, she and Jeremy also have a daughter of their own now. All the while, he’s been forced to work out of town a lot – to her chagrin – in order to make ends meet for the young family. It’s a lot to handle for them. Things really took a turn for the scandalous, however, when online reports suggested that Leah was stepping out with her former boyfriend Robbie Kidd . While Kidd adamantly denied this, the rumor alone reportedly caused bigger problems than anything you’ve seen if you watch Teen Mom 2 online . At one point, it was strongly implied that Jeremy Calvert moved out as he posted a photo of his packed bags and wrote that Messer “made a great choice.” Messer countered that by tweeting loving thoughts about her entire family, which includes her twin daughters Ali and Aleeah, 4, and her baby Adalynn. He did not actually move out, to our knowledge, but it was close. Leah Messer Photos: Through the Years 1. Leah Messer and Daughter Leah Messer and one of her three daughters share a tender moment. Yet with Leah Messer battling drug addiction as well as marital problems, she’s now opening up about what a struggle life has been for her recently. We can only hope they get through this and come away better for it, stronger and united, with the “great” marriage that she muses about on Facebook. If nothing else, it looks like they’re trying to put in the effort …

Leah Messer’s Grandma Slams Haters, Suggests Unknown Enemies Have "Night Cam"

Leah Messer’s family is sticking by her throughout her recent marital strife. That includes her grandmother, who has some harsh words for her critics. With the marriage of Leah and Jeremy Calvert on the ropes, everyone’s chiming in, from her former flame Robbie Kidd to their families and friends. Reports have surfaced that Jeremy Calvert moved out on Leah , while fingers are being pointed left and right as the pair’s union hangs by a thread. Her younger sister Victoria slammed Jeremy and threatened to expose his dirtiest secrets, and now their grandma Sandy Kay, has taken to Facebook. With a vengeance! In a lengthy and tangential post, Kay said that “they” (it’s unclear who the nebulous they are) of going after Messer and her kids and will stop at nothing. Nothing. She even went so far as to suggest that the unknown attackers could have a “night cam” to see if she’s “having sex with Jeremy so they can make money.” Yeah. As for those who say Messer is a prescription drug addict , Kay said they have a “rude awakening” coming, and “time will let the truth reveal itself.” While she didn’t deny that there is some trouble in paradise, “She and Jeremy will get threw [sic] there [sic] problems,” she said. “They are young.” Leah Messer Photos: Through the Years 1. Leah Messer and Daughter Leah Messer and one of her three daughters share a tender moment. That they are, but will they make it? The duo’s marriage has been rocky from the start, and the obstacles they face aren’t likely to lessen over time. Last month, Calvert accused his wife of cheating with ex Robbie Kidd on Twitter, while Leah and Robbie both denied this publicly and vehemently. Jeremy took the messages down, while Leah Tweeted Sunday, “Their [sic] is nothing more important in my life than my husband and my girls!” Case closed? Or living in denial and trying too hard to keep up appearances while the end is clearly near? Time will tell, people. Only time will tell. In the meantime, all we can do is watch Teen Mom 2 online and relive the couple’s road to the altar … and the tension that’s been brewing since.

Wade Robson Insists Michael Jackson Raped Him, Wants Estate to Admit GRAPHIC Acts

Michael Jackson’s child molestation accuser, choreographer Wade Robson, has filed new court documents detailing the star’s allegedly sordid acts. Wade is suing Michael’s estate for a wide variety of sexual acts committed against him, including oral sex, mutual masturbation, and even anal rape. The documents seek an admission from the estate that from 1990-97, the King of Pop committed many disturbing acts against Robson, then age 7-14. From the start, the estate has adamantly denied Robson’s allegations. Robson’s attorneys start by asking Jackson’s estate to admit that Jackson “invited Robson and his family to stay at [Jackson’s ranch] in February 1990.” There, the documents ask the estate to admit Jackson “employed an audible alarm system for his bedroom [and] hung ‘do not disturb’ signs on his bedroom door.” Inside, the documents ask Jackson’s estate to admit, “sexual activities occurred between [Jackson] and Wade Robson periodically” from 1990-97.” Those alleged activities include , but are not necessarily limited to: French kissing Showering naked together Fondling of genitals mutally Performing mutual fellatio Viewing pornography Lying on top of each other gyrating genitals together Jackson “putting his hand over Robson’s clothed penis” MJ “putting his hand inside Wade Robson’s underpants” Michael “taking Wade Robson’s hand and putting it over [Jackson’s] clothed penis” and “taking [Robson’s] hand and putting it inside [Jackson’s] underpants” “Rubbing Wade Robson’s penis” and “having Wade Robson rub [Jackson’s] penis” “Licking Wade Robson’s anus while [Jackson] masturbated using lotion” “Penetration of Wade Robson’s anus with [Jackson’s] penis” MJ forced Robson to be quiet , he claims, saying “that if anyone were to ever find out about their sexual activities, both of their careers would be over.” Wade famously denied all such allegations levied against Jackson during his child molestation trial, serving as a key witness for MJ against another boy’s claims. The estate is asking a Los Angeles judge to reject Robson‘s molestation claim against the late singer because he supposedly waited too long to file. Robson says to have only remembered that Michael Jackson molested him after having two “breakdowns” which resulted in him seeking intensive therapy. The judge hasn’t yet ruled on whether or not Robson’s case will be allowed to proceed, but he’s not showing any signs of backing down, that’s for sure. Remembering Michael Jackson (1958-2009) 1. The Moonwalk Michael Jackson pioneered so many dance moves, he pretty much is in his own category. No one ever moved like this guy.

Justin Bieber Botches Cliff Dive in Scary Video! Watch Now!

Justin Bieber’s Instagram usually consists of douchey shirtless selfies and stoned, improvised songs about being bored . But the Bieb’s mixed things up yesterday, as not only did he leave his weed lair, he also posted a video that’s at best less than flattering, and at worst super embarrassing.  Justin Bieber Cliff Jump Fail! Yes, Justin took a break from hitting on Ashley Moore to go cliff jumping with some friends, and we think it’s safe to say that front flips aren’t his strong suit. You can’t actually see Justin hit the water in the clip, but the sound of the splash, coupled with the stunned reactions from the crowd indicate that the dive did not go as planned. The woman who exclaims, “Oh my god!” off camera helps to give us an idea of how scary the incident was to witness firsthand, but the astonished “Whoa!” from Justin is the real highlight. Sounds like JB knew from the start that he was in over his head. And you thought Bieber drinking underage in public was risky. Justin Bieber Instagram Photos 1. The Biebs on Instagram Justin Bieber posted this photo on “Instagram.” He included with it a simple, one-word caption of “Night.”

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams Fought Constantly While Filming The Notebook, Says The Film’s Director

The Notebook is one of the most beloved romantic films of all time and when it was released, stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were dating in real life. The adored nature of the movie and the seeming perfection of Gosling and McAdams’ relationship makes the recent revelations made by The Notebook director Nick Cassavetes all the more explosive: “Maybe I’m not supposed to tell this story but they were really not getting along on set,” said Cassavetes in a recent interview. “Really not. Ryan came to me…and he says, ‘Would you take [McAdams] out of here and bring in another actress to read with me?” Naturally, Cassavetes refused out of respect for McAdams. Still, things only got worse from there: “I went into a room with a producer and they started screaming and yelling at each other. I walked out.” “They had it out…I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character. The rest of the film wasn’t smooth sailing, but it was smoother sailing.” It may not seem like a big deal that a now-broken-up couple fought while working together ten years ago, but The Notebook is a rare beast of a movie. The film’s fans are so cultishly devoted that video of Rachel McAdams auditioning for The Notebook became an Internet sensation just last month. Will knowledge that the cute couple that met while making the movie were actually at each other’s throats from the start tarnish the film’s legacy? Ah, who are we kidding? If anything, the fact that Gosling and McAdams fought before falling in love ( Just like the Noah and Allie! ) will only make Notebook obsessives swoon even harder. 14 Best Romantic Movies Of All Time 1. The Notebook There’s not another love story like the one in The Notebook. There just isn’t.
