THG readers, who voted Miley Cyrus into the finals of our Celebrity of the Year tournament , aren’t the only ones who are a fan of this young actress. “I remember myself at her age,” Parton tells Parade . “We’ve all been a bit too hard on her. From salvia smoking to the occasional provocative outfit to the recent controversy that erupted when Cyrus appeared to admit she loves smoking point , it’s true that Miley has been in the media’s crosshairs. Parton, who is close to the star, acknowledges a few missteps along the way, but returns to her overall theme: Miley is young. “I hope she holds it together because there’s a world of things she can do. She should keep an eye on things and make wise decisions.” [Photos: WENN.com]
Follow all the action live as MTV News brings you minute-by-minute updates. By Gil Kaufman Voters register their votes in the Iowa Caucus Photo: Justin Sullivan/ Getty Images It all comes down to this. Tonight Iowans will cast their votes for the Republican candidate of choice. Who will the barrage of ads, baby kissing and stumping pay off for? Will it be the business-like Mitt Romney, the surging Ron Paul, the dark horse Rick Santorum, the veteran politico Newt Gingrich or trailing Michele Bachmann? MTV News is on the ground in Iowa and will be covering the caucus and live-blogging all the details. Keep refreshing for up-to-the-minute political drama here! 7:16 A sophomore at Drake speaking on behalf of Rep. Paul makes it clear he’s speaking for himself, not the ROTC, of which he is a member. He has to raise his voice a bit to be heard over a crying baby in his arms. “If you want someone who can beat Obama you need someone who is the opposite of Obama.” 7:15 Nobody stands up for John Huntsman, the former Obama administration ambassador to China who basically threw in the towel on Iowa to concentrate on next week’s contest in New Hampshire. 7:13 There are more than 200 people in the room, which has a parquet floor and almost as much space devoted to the media as voters. 7:11 “He created 11 million jobs during his time in Congress,” the Gingrich speaker says. 7:08 The speaker calls for a representative to speak on behalf of Rep. Bachmann… Nothing. So it’s on to the person speaking on behalf of Newt Gingrich. He apologizes for his lack of eye contact, but he’s reading a letter from former Speaker Gingrich. 7:04 We just said the Pledge of Allegiance and now an organizer is sending around the “Money Bags” to help fill the precinct’s coffers. 6:55 Caucus goers are rushing into an auditorium in Olmstead Hall. They have to hurry because the doors close promptly at 7! 6:51 We just arrived on the campus of Drake University for the on-campus caucus meeting.

If he had had his way, Hugh Hefner would have exchanged vows with Crystal Harris in the summer of 2011. But the Playboy founder says he won’t be making that same mistake in the new year, telling People this week that he ” dodged a bullet ” when Harris dumped him days before their scheduled June wedding. “I am clearly not meant to be married,” the 85-year old said. “Married life isn’t for me.” Don’t cry for Hef, however. He’s far from lonely. The bachelor refers to his latest girlfriends, Shera Berchard and Anna Berglund , as “special ladies” and told the magazine he’d be “on top of my game” in 2012. It’s unclear which of those women he’s nicknamed game .
Will Rihanna and Chris Brown do the unthinkable? Nearly three years after the infamous assault that ended their relationship and nearly put him in jail, the two are working toward getting back together, according one of the most prolific and unreliable celebrity news sources around! That’s crazy! Chris Brown and Rihanna’s Tweets this week got people talking, and MediaTakeOut (dot) com has apparently “been hearing reports for some time” that Rihanna and Brown are working on “RECONCILIATION” (their word, and unnecessary capitals). SO is it happening or not? According to the celebrity gossip site, a person close to Chris Brown says he’d like nothing more than to get back with her. But since the “incident” Chris felt that he’d destroyed any and all chances of a relationship with his “soul mate.” So he stayed away from her, by law, at her request. But now things have changed. Rihanna and Chris are speaking to each other on the phone, exchanging IMs and text messages to boot. Insanity! She’s in Barbados right now (check out these bikini photos !) but they reportedly plan to meet up when Rihanna returns to Los Angeles next week. Chris is said to be ecstatic, but Jay Z and Rihanna’s managers are reportedly furious that they’re back on speaking terms and may reconcile? Will they? Is any or all of this true? Stay tuned … [Photo: WENN.com]
Her name is Jill Martin. She’s 35. She’s a contributor on the Today Show. She was on Good Morning America. She is a reporter for the New York Knicks. She is a writer. But to me she’s a fucking nobody in a bikini that I am only posting because the paprazzi took pics of her in a bikini and I’m addicted to posting pictures taken by useless paparazzi immigrant trash who are tipped off or hired by the person in the pictures in the first place…in efforts to get some attention in the media….you know to celebrate her ass she works so hard on all year for this moment of bikini pictures ont he internet greatness that’s not so great at all…if anything it is depressing that I’m part of this.
Has the time finally arrived for Jay and Bey to welcome their new addition to the family?? St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital on the Upper West Side has been informed that an exceptionally high-profile patient will check in today to give birth. The hospital staff believes that the mom-to-be is none other than Beyoncé. Nurses shared with the site that while the identity of the patient has yet to be confirmed, whoever she is, she booked an entire half of the hospital’s “labor and delivery suite,” where Alicia Keys gave birth to baby Egypt. The suite is known for its luxurious accommodations and, according to Media Takeout, offers enough room for three deliveries and up to a dozen guests overnight. Simple math is further fueling the rumors that the famous patient is Beyoncé. In a scene on the superstar’s “Live at Roseland: Elements of 4″ DVD, Beyoncé says, “Hello! It’s September 23rd … Right now I’m actually shooting the video for ‘Countdown’ and I’m six months pregnant, pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits.” This means that Beyoncé rounded the nine months mark days ago. It’s been a long time coming word to Sam Cooke, but we sincerely hope that this baby is born healthy and without complication. Congrats to the happy couple!

I’m Julia and I’m 18 years old! I never thought I’d get the chance to post an MBE as fast as this happened. This past February, Justin came to NML at MuchMusic in Toronto and I wasn’t able to get wristbands. I cried for so long, so I thought I’d try my luck! My friend and I ended up being 2nd in line so we got autographs when Justin came outside to see fans. All I wanted was a nice picture with Justin. So finally, the MMVA’s came around in June and I heard that Justin may be making an appearance. I freaked out. I went to a hotel and saw Kenny, Ryan Good and some of the crew around it. So obviously Justin was there too! I died inside. We waited about 3 hours until the red carpet time and we saw Justin leave his hotel in an escalade with Ryan Butler and Kenny. I got a cute picture of them in the car, but I wish he stopped! This past month, Bell Media announced that Justin would do a secret show in Toronto . The secret came out when Justin tweeted the location of it, Massey Hall, the Sunday before. Tickets came for sale and I managed to get 3 tickets with a pretty awesome view! I was happy I got tickets to the show. A lot of my friends didn’t get tickets because they sold out in minutes and the venue was small and intimate, so only a small number of tickets were released for sale. Wednesday, December 21st came around and I was so nervous and sick to my stomach this whole week before. I wanted to meet Justin soooooo bad! We thought it would be smart to go to his hotel in the morning early, so we did. My four friends and I were first there and waited over an hour in the rain. Right when we got to the hotel, we saw Jeremy was waiting for his friend to pick him up. A few minutes later we saw one of Justin’s bodyguards go to Starbucks. A few minutes later we saw Alfredo and Vanessa go to Starbucks and we said hi to Alfredo smiling, balancing a tray of coffees. We saw press start coming into the hotel so we didn’t think Justin would be leaving any time soon. All of a sudden we saw Allison, Chaz and Alfredo get into a car and then it parked closer to the doors. We saw the press start leaving so we were really confused because they just got there. Then we saw Scooter, Justin and Kenny come out of the elevators. Justin and Kenny waved at me and my friends and then pointed, directing us to come to the side door where Justin would be leaving to say hi. Unfortunately, at this point, other fans that came called all their friends to come so there was over 20 girls screaming so loud and freaking out. Us five were calm and content, but obviously dying inside. So then, the hotel security made sure no one went near the car. KENNY POINTED AT ME AND MY FRIENDS AND DIRECTED US TO COME TO HIM. HE MOVED THE CAR DOOR SO WE COULD GET BY AND HAVE A PICTURE WITH JUSTIN. MY DREAM CAME TRUE. I WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO GET A PICTURE. HE WAS SO SWEET. HE PUT HIS ARMS ON MY SIDE. I had my camera and Nicole C was taking our picture with hers so I put mine in my pocket and Justin arms were still around me. I was shaking inside because it was my first time I got to meet him!! I forget exactly how it went but I said thank you for doing a show for us or something like that. And he said something like, “I’m so happy to be here and excited for the show tonight”. My other two friends, Nicole C and Jenny got a picture as well. After that, no one else got a picture because Justin went right into his car. Vanessa and Nicole M really wanted a picture and Vanessa also had a gift to give Justin so Kenny grabbed her arm and pulled her through to talk to her. While Justin was in the car, Vanessa gave Kenny the gift. We’re hoping we see him wear the shirt and hat someday in pictures! I think I made Nicole and Jenny deaf after we met him because I screamed so loud of excitement. Vanessa and Nicole M obviously wanted a picture because they didn’t manage to get one at the hotel, so we thought we could go to the venue. There was so sign of Justin. We saw all of his Instagrams and were trying to figure out where he was. We went to eat lunch and walked around but then on Twitter, I saw a tweet that Justin was in the Maple Leafs dressing room . We couldn’t believe it. We went to the Air Canada Centre as fast as we could and waited at the private exit. After waiting only a few minutes, we saw a huge van with people inside leaving. We thought we recognized Scooter inside by his hat because the windows were tinted. He clearly saw us waving. THIS WAS A NEVER SAY NEVER MOMENT. I REGRET NOT RECORDING THIS . So there was traffic as they were turning out of the exit. We waited and kept watching the van. It slowed down when it turned at the lights and pulled over to the side. We saw the door open and bam, Scooter came out of the van and walked towards us . We tried our best not to run and freak out, but c’mon we were excited. So Scooter came and gave Vanessa and Nicole M tickets to the show! It made up for them not really meeting Justin earlier in the day, like Nicole C, Jenny and I did. We were so thankful and happy Scooter gave them tickets to the show! Scooter told us that Justin probably wouldn’t stop because he has to go straight to the venue when he leaves. They hugged and we were all so happy. We left the ACC and went to Massey Hall. We all got to go to the concert, which was amazing. It was my first Justin Bieber concert. I cried when he came out and was so happy! Justin brought up Jazzy on stage and it was the CUTEST thing ever!!!!! Justin also sang for us a new song that may be on the Believe album. It was amazing. I’m extremely thankful I got the opportunity to finally meet Justin. My friends and I had such a long day, but it was all worth it and we had a lot of fun. I love how everything worked out in the end. If you haven’t met Justin, don’t give up. Your chance will come someday, I promise you! -@juliaaa_xo Continued here: I’m Julia and I’m 18 years old! I never thought…
So George Clooney brought Stacy Keibler to his Mexcio palace and she isn’t even walking around in heels and a bikini like the groupie whore who is out for herself trying to get knocked up by him in order to live the good life she clearly fucking is….It’s like if you’re gonna get an ex wrestler with great legs and a hot ass down to Mexico, you’re also going to have her suite filled with bikini of various levels of revealing, I mean unless you’re a queer and just into her company and the media attention she garners….which would possibly explain a lot about this George Clooney character….
‘I think it’s someone that’s strong in their beliefs,’ Dolly Parton tells MTV News before show, airing at 9 p.m. ET/PT tonight on VH1. By Jocelyn Vena Mary J. Blige Photo: Getty Images NEW YORK — On Sunday night, some of the music industry’s biggest divas gathered at Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan to pay tribute to some of the most-soulful divas in the biz for “VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul.” Kelly Clarkson, Florence Welch, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Jessie J and Jill Scott all put their new-millennium spin on classics from cities like Detroit, Chicago, London, Philadelphia and Memphis, Tennessee. “I don’t even know what a diva is,” Dolly Parton told MTV News on the red carpet before the big show kicked off. “I think it’s someone that’s strong in their beliefs, strong in their own talent, strong in who they are. … I see a lot of divas around here, and some say I am one, and I don’t know if that’s true or not,” she joked. “Do you think I’m a diva?” Jessie J waxed poetic about the title “diva.” “Sometimes the media can completely misunderstand what the word ‘diva’ means,” she said. “To me, tonight is what it’s about, and every single person’s that been here that’s had longevity, passion, consistent, amazing music that goes around the globe. For me to be a part of it in any way is incredible.” The show recalled some of the greatest hits from divas present, past and future. And it even took time to fondly remember the late Amy Winehouse, whose own music was so deeply inspired by soul music of days past. “She’s in a class by herself,” Mary J. Blige said. “She just broke the mold when she came out; it was like, ‘Wow, who is this?’ And I could hear all of the pain before I even knew she had pain.” While every diva at the show, which airs Monday night (December 19) on VH1, has played a pivotal role in pop music, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy doesn’t believe that many will be as influential as Winehouse. “I don’t think there’s gonna be another voice that cut through the way her voice cut through,” he said. “And I think that alone makes her a legend.” Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine , one of the performers during the tribute, summed up Winehouse: “She was the most incredible artist, and I feel kind of overwhelmed to be doing it,” she said. She later took the stage with Nas, Wanda Jackson and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings to remember Winehouse’s catalogue of music. “VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul” airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT tonight on VH1.
