That’s the question posed by BuzzFeed editor Dorsey Shaw in the video below. On the one hand, RuPaul told Raw Story last weekend that he’s “not a political person” by nature; on the other hand, he proved himself quite adept at answering the policy questions posed by Yahoo’s Chris Moody before the final New Hampshire debate. RuPaul, who judges “Drag Race” on Logo Television with aplomb, is adept at… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Raw Story Discovery Date : 10/01/2012 17:23 Number of articles : 2
There is a Kate Gosselin cruise. Yes, a cruise featuring Kate Gosselin herself. This summer. Offered by Royal Caribbean, which is like a major cruise line. On August 12-19, if you are so inclined, you can set sail with Kate on a ship for between $1,900 and $3,175. A small price to pay for a brush with … wait. The trip starts in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., moving on to Jamaica, Cozumel, etc. Kate will be available for Q&A sessions, photo ops, crafts and cocktail parties! Better vacation: This or a week in Pyongyang? The hilarious thing is that Kate Gosselin , for all her good qualities (there must be some, we’re thinking) is basically famous for yelling, being a grating harpy, insisting on having things her way, seeking attention and emasculating her then-husband. Just want you want to be around … on VACATION. Are people actually interested in things like this? Is it actually a selling point to go on a celebrity cruise? Or one with Kate Gosselin for that matter? Seriously, tell us. And if the answer is yes, just spend August working instead. Some nice overtime pay has to be better than Mai Tais with the TLC banshee.

Andy Cohen faced the press/fire this week at the Television Critics Association, answering questions about the new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and, specifically, why Russell Armstrong has been featured despite his suicide in August. “He was given the option to not come back or come back and he chose to come back,” Cohen said. “He had spoken to producers a lot vocally about how it had helped his business being on the show, so you know, I can’t speak to that.” In an interview prior to the new season airing, Armstrong referred to the show as phony BS , warning that producers edit every action and every conversation. Did they ever considering cutting him entirely from the show, following his death? “We had many discussions, as you can imagine, for a long time about how to do the serious discussions,” said Cohen. “And I think what emerged is the story of a woman trying to extricate herself from a bad, broken marriage in which she was unhappy and in which domestic violence played a part. And that was the story that wound up emerging from the season.” That, and very high ratings, of course. [Photo: WENN.com]
Rihanna is soldiering into 2012. The 23-year-old singer just posted an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming, action packed film Battleship on her official YouTube channel. Rih plays resident weapons officer Raikes in the film, and says she learned the ropes for it by shadowing an actual member of the United States Navy. “I watched her and I just really lived and breathed in her mindset and tried to really get into her character,” Rihanna says. Check out the video below: Rihanna – Battleship Behind the Scenes
Team Britney Spears – literally, the singer and her management team – are featured in V magazine in a story about entertainers and their “second families.” The team is featured in these two Britney Spears pics : Left-to-right: Lou Taylor, business manager; Adam Leber, manager; Brett Miller, executive assistant; Jimmy “Sugar” Kane, security; Larry Rudolph, manager; Derek DeGrazio, fitness trainer; Edan Yemini, head of security; Robin Greenhill, business manager. “I have worked with all of them for many, many years so it was fun to see them together again on the first day of the tour,” Brit said. “Everybody was catching up and telling all of their fun stories from the past, laughing and just having a great time.” NOTE: Jason Trawick, Brit’s fiance, used to be her agent as well.
Katie Holmes poses provocatively in a new campaign for H. Stern. What kind of clothes to does the line sell? We wouldn’t know based on the first of two images below. The wife of Tom Cruise is not exactly wearing any. The second one gives you a better idea, fortunately (or not): The 33-year-old actress will be featured in the line’s campaign when it launches in the U.S. this fall. She is already repping the brand in ads in Israel. Katie’s hubby, Mission: Impossible 4 star Cruise, recently told People magazine that he falls a little bit more in love with his wife every day. “It’s been quite an amazing five years because of her,” he shared. With ads like this, we can see why.
Molly Sims is going to be mommy Sims. The 38-year-old model, jewelry designer and actress is expecting her first child with her new husband Scott Stuber, her rep confirmed this afternoon. “There are simply no words to describe the feeling,” Sims wrote. “I finally get what they mean when they say pregnant women glow.” Sims explained that a “first pregnancy is a nerve-wracking experience of course, but mostly we are just thrilled and excited. We can’t wait to meet him or her.” Sims also shared how she broke the news to Scott Stuber , 42. “I hijacked a fortune cookie and typed a new message so that when he opened his cookie at the end of the meal, he found out he was going to be a daddy.” “You can only imagine how nervous I was during the entire meal – I think I ate a total of two bites – but the look of surprise and joy on his face was priceless.” Stuber, who produced Love and Other Drugs , popped the question in May 2011. The couple married in September. Congratulations on the impending arrival! [Photo: WENN.com]

‘Talk Nerdy to Me’ returns with an all-new episode about Bane’s hard-to-decipher voice, ‘Star Trek 2’ and the MTV Movie Brawl 2012 tournament. By Josh Wigler Benedict Cumberbatch Photo: Getty Images Welcome to 2012, fellow nerds! With return trips to Middle-earth and Gotham City in the cards, not to mention sightings of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Ridley Scott ‘s return to sci-fi on the horizon, the coming months are sure to usher in one of the most geek-friendly years of all time. It’s only appropriate then that “Talk Nerdy to Me” (the MTV News one-stop shop for all things comic books, movies and television) rises to the size and stature of the new year. That means more Hulk hands, light-sabers and action figures, more punch-out sound effects and — most importantly — more heated nerdy debate to come all throughout 2012 … and it all starts now! Watch the embedded video for the latest episode of “Talk Nerdy to Me,” and read on for a synopsis of what we discussed this week on the show! The Bane Problem “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” has been kicking ass and taking names at the box office for weeks now, thanks in no small part to the “Dark Knight Rises” prologue attached to IMAX prints of the Tom Cruise action vehicle. Fans are raving about the first look at Christopher Nolan’s last Batman movie, except for one teensy, tiny problem: Bane’s voice . The Caped Crusader’s newest nemesis’ mask-muffled muttering has left some viewers scratching their heads, and Nolan’s apparent insistence on not improving the clarity of Bane’s dialogue has only led to further bewilderment. But should fans really be so worried about the so-called “Bane problem,” or is it all much ado about nothing? Find out what Team Nerdy thinks in this week’s episode. “Sherlock” Goes to Space Between playing Britain’s greatest detective and Middle-earth’s most fearsome dragon, how many more iconic roles does Benedict Cumberbatch need to plop on his plate? Why not give him one more: The “Sherlock” and “War Horse” actor is beaming aboard J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek 2” as the film’s lead villain, ending a long search that’s seen actors Benicio del Toro and Edgar Ramirez circling the role. But the question remains: Who is Cumberbatch playing? “Nerdy’s” Brian Phares expects a new character, while the rest of the team feels like screaming “KHAAAAAAAN!” Who do you think Cumberbatch is playing? The Brawl for It All Finally, nothing like a shameless plug to start the new year right! Team Nerdy took some time to talk about MTV Movie Brawl 2012 , our current tournament to decide which movie you guys are most excited to see in the coming year. Some flicks like “Hunger Games” and “Breaking Dawn” are dominating as expected, but others — namely “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Skyfall” and “The Amazing Spider-Man” — are underperforming, so much so that some so-called “shoo-ins” might not even make it into the March Madness-style bracket kicking off on Monday. We already put the question to “Avengers” and “Spider-Man” fans , but it bears repeating to the Batman and Bond crowd: Where are you guys? Time’s running out!

Singer popped the question during a vacation in the Maldives. By Jocelyn Vena John Legend and Chrissy Teigen in November Photo: Jeff Kravitz/AMA2011/FilmMagic John Legend is officially off the market. The singer asked his girlfriend, Chrissy Teigen, to marry him over the holidays. The couple confirmed the news in a statement to People. “John Legend and his girlfriend, model Chrissy Teigen, got engaged over the holidays while vacationing in the Maldives,” a rep confirmed. People reports that while little else is known about how they celebrated the good news, Legend will be in Las Vegas this weekend performing at the Pearl at the Palms on New Year’s Eve. “We validate or shut down whatever each of us is doing,” Legend told People in May about how the pair help style one another. “[It’s] all of the time. We were together when we picked out our clothes today. She’s better [at it]. It’s harder to dress a woman — there are so many options and accessories. For guys we only have so many elements.” The couple began dating in 2007. Teigen is best known for her work as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. It’s a big week for Legend, who will also celebrate his birthday Wednesday. Legend and Teigen weren’t the only pair who got engaged over the holidays: Matthew McConaughey popped the question to his model girlfriend, Camila Alves, on Christmas Day. He took to Twitter to share the good news. “Just asked camila to marry me, merry Christmas,” he tweeted, also posting a photo of him and Alves kissing next to Christmas decorations.
