Brittany Kerr: New American Idol Bikini Girl!

Brittany Kerr, a cheerleader for the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats and now a contestant on American Idol, probably can’t challenge Phillip Phillips on talent alone. She does bring other attributes to the table, however. A massive surge in traffic from peeps looking for Brittany Kerr bikini photos crashed her manager’s website the following day, according to reports. Not only that, she’s on her way to Hollywood! J.Lo wasn’t impressed with her audition (below), but Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson sent her through. Big surprise. No word if she’ll don a two-piece in the next round … Brittany Kerr American Idol Audition Kerr’s management company wasn’t the only thing affected. Jim Merrill, a photographer who recently shot Kerr in a bikini, had to buy more bandwidth. Merrill typically gets about 5,000 hits a month on his website. Just moments after Kerr’s audition, his traffic ballooned to 20,000 hits … Wednesday. The moral of the story? People love their American Idol. And cyber stalking pics of hot girls who become Z-list celebrities overnight. U-S-A! U-S-A!

Ben Roethlisberger Settles Andrea McNulty Rape Lawsuit; Terms Not Disclosed

Ben Roethlisberger has settled the lawsuit filed against him by Andrea McNulty in 2009 – the first of two incidents in which he was accused of sexual assault. The civil lawsuit filed by McNulty, a former Lake Tahoe casino host, claiming the NFL star raped her while he was in town for a golf tournament in 2008. Neither side will say if Andrea McNulty was paid in the settlement. McNulty filed the suit in Washoe District Court in 2009, claiming Roethlisberger lured her into his Harrah’s penthouse suite and forced her to have sex. The suit also named a list of Harrah’s employees, claiming they covered up the alleged sexual assault to protect the Pittsburgh Steelers superstar. McNulty’s lawyer, Cal Dunlap, refused to discuss the terms of the case . Roethlisberger’s lawyer, David Cornwell, and his agent, also had no comment. McNulty claimed Roethlisberger asked her to come to his suite to fix his broken television, only to force her onto the bed and rape her, the suit said. Lawyers for Roethlisberger denied the claims, and the casino denied covering it up. McNulty was accused by some of trying to extort money from him. The star faced similar allegations in Georgia only one year later when a second Ben Roethlisberger accuser said he sexually assaulted her after a night of drinking. Authorities investigated the allegations, but no charges were filed.

Volkswagen Super Bowl Ad Preview: Dogs Turn to "The Bark Side"

The higher-ups at Volkswagen must be big Star Wars fans. For the second straight year, the car maker is using George Lucas’ epic saga as inspiration for a Super Bowl commercial. A year ago, Little Darth Vader was a huge hit. So much so that the company released a teaser for the ad early here in 2012. The sequel, featuring a canine chorus barking a familiar tune, may be even better: The Bark Side – VW Super Bowl Ad Preview Barking along to the ominous “Imperial March” dressed as Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and an Ewok, these mutts will surely get people talking. Or howling, one might say … see what we did right there? The appropriate title for the spot: “The Bark Side.” Amazing.

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis: Is It Over?

Are Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, his partner of 14 years now, a thing of the past or headed in that direction fast? Such rumors have been swirling this week. The pair has not made a public appearance together for more than a year, and the Dark Shadows star’s solo trip to the Golden Globes fueled the split rumors. People reports that America’s favorite actor and the French singer-actress have called it quits, having led “separate lives” for some time now. The couple has long maintained separate homes , in West Hollywood and France. A source allegedly close to Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis said the following: “They bet that they could move to California for long stays for his career. They bet that things could continue there as they had in the south of France.” “They lost that bet. Vanessa has gone seven years between albums and several years between film projects while he became Jack Sparrow,” the source said. On January 6, a tired-looking Paradis was spotted shopping with daughter Lily-Rose, 12, at Los Angeles The Grove, adding to the speculation of trouble. The couple also has a nine-year-old son, John Christopher Depp III. For what it’s worth, in December 2010, Depp gave an interview to Extra about why he and Paradis had no plans for marriage – now or down the line. “I never found myself needing that piece of paper. Marriage is really from soul to soul, heart to heart. You don’t need somebody to say you’re married.” “If Vanessa wanted to get hitched, why not… But the thing is, I’d be so scared of ruining her last name. She’s got such a good last name,” he said. Neither party has commented on the rumored breakup. [Photo: WENN.com]

Fake Source Claims: O.J. Told Me About Khloe!

O.J. Simpson is almost definitely not the father of Khloe Kardashian. But if you listen to the quotes invented by a source The National Enquirer made up in its controversial new cover story , you may begin to have some doubts. Simply put: “O.J. told me Khloe’s his child,” this anonymous insider tells the tabloid. “It was the big secret that no one in the two families would discuss. And Robert admitted he and Kris were not having sex at the time Khloe was conceived. O.J. bragged about his sex life and many female conquests, which he said included some of his best friends’ wives.” It is true that Kris Jenner was friends with the accused murder, via her husband at the time, but their relationship was never the same after Nicole Brown Simpson was found dead in 1994. It’s unclear why. Adds this totally real source: “He used to tell us way back – even before he and Nicole got divorced – that he had a love child with the wife of a wealthy family. But at the time of Khloe’s birth, it would have been devastating for the news to come out that America’s biggest sports hero had fathered a love child.” It’s true. Thank goodness O.J. has kept his reputation intact since this time. The Juice is currently in jail on an armed robbery conviction and is eligible for parole in 2017. We may need to wait until then for a definitive answer to the question of paternity.

‘American Idol’ Already Belongs To Phillip Phillips

Season 11 contestant is a mashup of every male winner in show’s history. By Jim Cantiello Phillip Phillips on American Idol’s season premiere Photo: FOX Last night’s 14-hour “American Idol” premiere presented the usual suspects of hopefuls. To paraphrase judge (and hideous eyewear collector) Randy Jackson at the end of the Savannah, Georgia, trip, “We came, we saw, we mocked immigrants’ accents, we patronized and lusted after hot girls, we competently read off of producers’ notes, we conquered.” Then, just as the expected parade of planted craycrays and daughters of sports athletes wrapped up, “Idol” introduced its eventual season 11 winner, Phillip Phillips. First let’s talk his name. It’s so ridiculous, it’s awesome. You’ll never forget it. Not to get all numerologist on you, but for season 11, a digit comprised of “one” repeated twice, a name like Phillip Phillips is destined to end up on top. At least he is in a pretentious overwritten novel. But Phillip Phillips’ unavoidable victory truly comes into focus once you realize that he’s a tried-and-true mashup of every male winner in the show’s 10-year history. Musically, Phillip 2 is a Dave Matthews worshipper (hi, season nine’s Lee DeWyze!) with the Joe Cocker mannerisms of season five’s Taylor Hicks. His first audition song was a Stevie Wonder classic. (Sophomore class president Ruben Studdard made his first impression with a Stevie song, too.) And just when you thought fellow contestant Colton Dixon had the David Cook fans in his corner by singing the season seven winner’s “Permanent” (and sharing a passion for haircuts tragique), Phillips rocked a “Thriller” of an encore: a white-dude twist on a Michael Jackson fave
