Well, that didn’t take long. Within hours of the Spice Girls and company closing down the London Olympics, Michael Phelps has been featured in his first post-2012 Games ad campaign. The first of a great many, we’re sure. In this simple spot, the most decorated Olympian of all-time just can’t escape the water, staring intently into the camera from a bathtub, a Louis Vuitton bag by his side. We’re sure he’d prefer if girlfriend Megan Rossee were in there with him instead. But the massive check written to Phelps by the purse maker likely offsets that disappointment… Phelps has also booked his first new television gig. He will follow in the cleated footsteps of Charles Barkley and Rush Limbaugh as a student of of Tiger Woods’ former coach Hank Haney, appearing as a willing golf protege on The Haney Project .
Khloe Kardashian has made the final kut. A few days after expressing enthusiasm over the possibility of hosting The X Factor , sources tell TMZ that this reality star really is one of six finalists for the Fox gig. While not releasing any of the other names – rumored possibilities include Stacy Keibler and Erin Andrews – insiders confirm that Khloe will have a screen test some time in the next two weeks. If all goes well, the Simon Cowell-produced competition really might try to take advantage of the Kardashians’ popularity. Would the move work out? Or would it backfire due to overexposure of this talent-free family? You tell us: Do you want to see Khloe Kardashian as X Factor host?
Ninja Thief steals Purse, Car From IHOP And this idiot was caught on tape. Police say a sneaky thief grabbed an employee’s purse and car at a South Salt Lake IHOP restaurant on Sunday. The incident was caught on the restaurant’s surveillance video system, as the thief ducked and crawled behind the store counter to grab the employee’s purse. Police say the thief walked out of the restaurant on 2100 South 307 West and stole the employee’s silver 4-door 2003 Chevy Impala that was located in the parking lot using the keys found inside the purse. The victim, a 22-year-old female IHOP employee told police that when she was ready to leave work at 7:00 a.m., she discovered that her black leather purse was missing from under her workstation and her car was gone. Police say investigators viewed the restaurant’s surveillance video, and saw the suspect, dressed in motorcycle garb as she entered the restaurant just before 5:00 A.M. and headed to the restroom. As the suspect walks past the workstation, police say she looked back, checking the location of the employee’s purse. Just moments later, police say the suspect walked toward the door as if to leave and looked over her shoulder to check for the employees. Police say the suspect then crouched down on the floor and made a “Spiderman/Ninja” crawl back to the workstation, stole the purse and walked out the door. Police say the suspect walked in the restaurant and stole the purse in less than two minutes. The employees told police that the suspect arrived at the restaurant on a motorcycle or scooter with another person who stayed outside. Police say it also appears that the suspect had planned out the heist and knew the location of the purse. Police described the suspect as a young woman in her early 20s, with brown hair, wearing a black leather jacket, black helmet, and dark denim jeans. SMH. Sounds like an inside job to us! Source
Underwood wins Video of the Year for ‘Good Girl’ and Collaborative Video By Gil Kaufman Carrie Underwood at the 2012 CMT Music Awards Photo: FilmMagic “American Idol” has struggled to produce hit rock and R&B stars lately, but the show clearly has a knack for pumping out country acts. Just look at the winner’s circle for Wednesday night’s CMT Music Awards ceremony, where “Idol” winner Carrie Underwood took home two major honors and Scotty McCreery went home with some hardware as well. Underwood, who also performed on the broadcast hosted by Toby Keith and actress Kristen Bell, snagged her third Video of the Year honor for the “Good Girl” clip, and hit the podium once again for Collaborative Video of the Year for her work on the “Rescue Me” video with Brad Paisley. Underwood’s man, professional hockey player Mike Fisher, played the role of dutiful husband by giving his wife a big hug and kiss when she and Paisley won their award, then held her purse during the acceptance speech. Paisley had some fun, too, wrapping his arms around Fisher before taking the stage and giving him a long hug before thanking, “this beautiful woman for being in the video, or else it’s just a dork walking through the desert.” He concluded, “to my wife at home, there’s nothing between me and Mike,” to which Underwood added, “not yet!” Season 10 “Idol” champ McCreery continued his winning ways by scoring the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for “The Trouble With Girls,” which he accepted just hours before his high school graduation ceremony. Other winners included Luke Bryan for Male Video of the Year for “I Don’t Want This Night To End,” Miranda Lambert for Female Video of the Year for “Over You” and Lady Antebellum for Group Video of the year for “We Owned The Night.” Bryan was clearly excited about his win, saying, “When you’re at this level of what we do as singers, and your fans vote, it speaks huge volumes and it’s crazy to be fan-voted for an award and win it … I don’t really get caught up in trying to be cool, trying to play a part. I just freaking get so excited about this stuff and I will always enjoy it.” Lambert’s acceptance speech was one of the most emotional of the night. Celebrating her third straight Female Video win for the song she co-wrote with husband Blake Shelton about the death of his brother, she thanked Shelton’s brother, “from heaven, for inspiring us to write this song.” Thompson Square accepted the Duo Video of the Year (“I Got You”) and Jason Aldean took home his first belt buckle with CMT Performance of the Year for “Tattoos On This Town.” The show opened with a bang, with a video bit pitting the hosts against each other in a battle to anchor the show alone that featured cameos from Matthew McConaughey, Jon Bon Jovi, President Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. “This is one of the toughest decisions I’ve had to make since I’ve been in office, but I decided I want them both,” Obama said when forced to decide between the country star and the actress. Not wanting to offend any potential swing voters, Romney split the difference too, suggesting the pair work together. “See, I just put two people back to work,” he joked. The show also featured performances from Willie Nelson with Toby Keith, Jamey Johnson, Darius Rucker and Zac Brown Band, as well as Paisley with Hank Williams Jr., Lambert and Journey with Rascal Flatts.

*sigh* Georgia Woman Arrested For Stealing Bacon From Piggly-Wiggly Meet Lonneshia Shafaye Appling. The Georgia woman, 26, was so determined to shoplift beer, bacon, cheese, and chicken wings from a Piggly Wiggly that she punched, spit at, and pepper-sprayed store workers who confronted her as she tried to flee the supermarket Wednesday afternoon, according to cops. Appling, pictured in the adjacent mug shot, allegedly hid items worth $88.27 in a canvas bag. She “attempted to check out, only putting one item on the counter,” according to a worker quoted in an Athens-Clarke County Police Department report. When a Piggly Wiggly employee–who had been tipped to the pilfering by a shopper–asked Appling about the concealed items, she tried to exit the store. After worker Jonathan Orr tried to stop Appling, she “pulled out some pepper spray and sprayed him in the face.” Appling kept spraying as several workers tried to keep her from fleeing. The 340-pound Appling also allegedly punched Orr in the face and spit on the 28-year-old employee. As she successfully bolted from the Athens store, Appling “was dropping beer cans out of her purse.” Responding to a 911 call, a cop reported spotting “a very large black female in a purple dress standing there screaming at two store employees” who followed her outside the Piggly Wiggly, which was filled with a choking cloud of pepper spray. Police then arrested Appling, whose rap sheet includes several prior shoplifting convictions and outstanding arrest warrants in three Georgia counties. Just to be totally clear, take a look at the list of items that this hungry-a$$ broad stole. Cops prepared an inventory of the items Appling sought to swipe: five packages of cheese; eight cans of Coors Light; vegetable oil; chicken wings; and five packages of bacon. As first reported by the Athens Banner Herald, she was charged with a variety of crimes, including aggravated assault, theft, simple battery, and disorderly conduct. We would tell her to have a seat, but her big a$$ probably needs a futon! Source

I am pretty sure that she’s not getting paid for this, because that’s the place she’s at in her career, you know one step away from the final curtain being cast and evicted from Dancing with the Stars… but I like to view her on set being the reason she hasn’t answered my texts the last 6 months or more….you see for those of you who don’t know, me and Lohan were best text message friends for a few months when she was on drugs and a lesbian before the DUIs…and I haven’t been able to win her back…even though this is a time she needs me most…cuz I have great plans of K-Fedding her….that we can safely say won’t happen….partially because she’s so fucking busy… I mean come on look at these pics…where could she find the time to send me a titty pic between sitting around all day amongst a bunch of idiots you know as she filled her purse with the free food cuz she doesn’t have money for these kinds of luxuries anymore….. The whole thing is amazing….I love reality checks and life lessons that make someone who was so high up in career and spirit crash so hard..it is fun to watch the scramble.

LeBron James’ purse (yes, purse) became the talk of the NBA yesterday. At halftime of Sunday’s Celtics/Knicks game, ABC relayed a shot of Miami Heat stars James and Dwyane Wade entering the Staples Center to do battle with the L.A. Lakers. Wade was “the personification of sexual chocolate” according to one blogger, in a muscle shirt, while LeBron … carried what appeared to be a stylish man purse / toiletry bag: LeBron James Carrying Purse The reactions to this will, undoubtedly, be split into two camps: Ryan Seacrest, David Beckham, Kanye West and Tom Haverford from Parks and Recreation , who will declare it “dope” and scramble to find out the designer. Everyone else, who will be LOLing at the fact that LeBron not only lost to the Lakers 93-83 Sunday, but lost his dignity by a much greater score. What do you think of LeBron’s man-purse? Fab or fail?
Paris Hilton is back! Or was … if only for a few hours! The ho-tel heiress’ new single, “Drunk Text,” was briefly leaked online today before being yanked off of YouTube within hours. What’s it about, you ask? Heck if we know, but the girl cannot sing. At all. Not that she even tries, really. Hilton raps/speaks monotonously over the beat… and that’s it. The music video was released today , but quickly pulled from YouTube with little explanation other than a violation of a copyright claim by Black Hole Recordings. Still, the instant classic video was up long enough for some pics to be screen grabbed, and for numerous people who heard it to report on its epicness. Some choice lyrics: “If you take the word ‘sex’ and mix it with ‘texting,’ it’s called ‘sexting’/When you add drunk sexting, the words just don’t make sense.” Toooootally. “It’s a hot mess of misspelled obscentities, body parts and run-on questions/not sure what he means to ask. Behind my eyes, I was begging for things my lips would never ask/And my mouth kept pouring desperate clauses of random intent.” “It’s just another moment, one stupid reply can lead to the walk of shame,” she goes on. “I’ll be damned if I end up in some lame diner after this/last night’s lingerie in my purse/it was just a drunk text…this is the last time I’ll ever drink and text.” Amen, Paris Hilton. A. Men.
It’s a new week on The Real Housewives of OC and we’re picking up right where we left off during last week’s season premiere – the party at Vicki’s house. Actually, we’re backtracking a wee bit and seeing the arrivals of all the women again. And the awkward. Alexis looks downright unhappy being in the same place as Peggy. And Peggy looks like a man. So there’s that. The two of them swap some war stories about broken bones and Alexis attempts to one-up Peggy’s three year old daughter. Minus 10 , Alexis. But Plus 5 to Peggy for walking away. Vicki says she’s having seller’s remorse and will be sad to leave the house. Then she sort of dodges questions about Don’s current relationships. You know, since they’re still living in the same house and all. I mean, seeing your nearly-ex-husband’s hookups doing the walk-of-shame out of your own house can’t be awkward AT ALL, right?? Ahhh, finally. Time for the appetizer course. Oysters. Minus 10 for gross. Gretchen shows Tamra how to eat oysters and Tamra makes a face that says she does not enjoy swallowing. Oysters, I mean. (Sheesh, people!) Plus 15 for trying those slimy little bottom-feeders because that’s more than I would do. Vicki watches this entire exchange and suddenly realizes that something’s up with Gretchen and Tamra, but before she can form a coherent thought about what she’s just seen, new housewife throws her two cents into the pot when another party-goer says her fianc
