The “Movie Awards Punk’d Pre-Party” will feature Kim Kardashian and Drake getting worked by Ashton Kutcher.

Poor Paris . Paris Hilton Dumped By Boyfriend DJ Afrojack Things are really looking down for Paris Hilton right now. Her career is on the downswing, the Kardashians rule the world and her half-black boo thang just wants to be free — from her. According to RadarOnline reports : Paris Hilton and DJ AfroJack have called it quits after dating for around six months, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. “Afrojack had moved into Paris’ Beverly Hills mansion earlier this year, and the two got very serious, very fast,” a source close to the former couple tells RadarOnline.com. “Paris was really into him and admires the work he has done. Afrojack did a lot of the work on Paris’ new album which will be released later this year. He took a lot of criticism for working with her, but he truly does believe that she has talent. Paris was smitten with him, but Afrojack just wanted to have fun and not be exclusive with anyone. He is on the road practically every day performing in clubs all over the world, and he just isn’t ready to settle down, whereas Paris is.” As RadarOnline.com previously reported, 31, is working on completing a second follow up album six years after the release of her first one which sold only 197,000 copes. Paris has been focusing “all of her creative energy into her second album,” a source close to the former reality star says. “Paris has been working with Flo Rida, LMFAO and David Guetta, and the album should be released this summer,” a source previously told RadarOnline.com. “Paris hopes to embark on a European concert tour to promote the album, which will consist of house music. She knows she has a lot riding on this project because her last reality show was canceled and she needs to do something to re-invent herself. Paris is hoping to appeal to a broader fan base and would love to use the album as a platform for a possible project with MTV. Yes, Paris is a very successful businesswoman, and she is about to release her fifteenth fragrance, but that isn’t enough for her. Paris craves the attention from the media and her fans and she is truly feeling the pressure to deliver on this, because she doesn’t have any other television or movie projects lined up.” Meanwhile, Paris is likely to take her recent breakup hard, as friends of the socialite tell us, “Paris is having a hard time adjusting to the fact that she just doesn’t have the popularity or cache that she did five years ago. Paris has tons of money, but that isn’t enough for her. Look, she is still going to clubs on a very frequent basis and she is 31 years old. You don’t see a lot of people over 30 going to clubs, it’s almost sad to see. Paris would love to be married with kids, it’s all she ever talks about, but she hasn’t found her Prince Charming yet and she isn’t getting any younger.” Poor Paris. All that money can’t buy her love from fans or a nice boo. Oh well, she can always shop at Chanel. W ENN/PacificCoastNews

After a whirlwind trip to Cannes, France last week and losing sentimental items and trust to TSA on her trip home, Kim Kardashian was looking to let loose. So she did. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star made a beeline for Beyonce’s concert at Revel’s Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., on Sunday night. In addition to dancing and singing along to Bey’s chart-topping hits, Kim got a chance to chat with the woman of the evening herself backstage. OMG! The two have plenty to discuss, of course. Beyonce’s husband of four years, Jay-Z, is best friends with Kanye West, Kardashian’s serious boyfriend. Says a source klose to Kim: “Kim thought it was such a great show . There’s always some random rumors there is tension between them and there totally isn’t! Kim had so much fun.” B’s concert weekend, her first since becoming a mom, drew many big names. Michelle, Sasha and Malia Obama were among other notable attendees. During Saturday’s performance (she did four shows there), Beyonce revealed that she’s lost 60 pounds since giving birth to baby Blue Ivy Carter. “Y’all have no idea how hard I worked! They had me on that treadmill. I ate lettuce!” she told her fans. “Now tonight I’m gonna get chocolate wasted!” That’s probably what Kim says about … chocolate also. [Photos: WENN.com]
When U.S. Olympian Lolo Jones’ virginity became the subject of a recent story on HBO’s Real Sports , she was instantly linked to NFL star Tim Tebow. Not negatively, just because of the obvious. Both are high-profile, good-looking athletes who are in the minority in saving themselves for marriage. They should date, right? A lot of people think so … Amazingly, when Tebow entered the New York Jets locker room last week, several of his fellow players immediately started chanting, “Lo-lo! Lo-lo!” A dedicated Twitter user, Lolo Jones was among the many people who saw the New York Daily News’ report on this and responded immediately: Some memorable lyrics to that song: “I’ve been alone with you / Inside my mind / And in my dreams I’ve kissed your lips / A thousand times / I sometimes see you / Pass outside my door.” “Hello! Is it me you’re looking for?” Right?! The 29-year-old Lolo Jones, who is of mixed-racial descent, then followed up with a second Tweet about her fellow athletic virgin: Hmm. Well, there you go. If Tebow does in fact enjoy chocolate milk, perhaps a phone call after the summer Olympics is in order …
Paris Hilton might not want to quit her day job … whatever that is. Even with THG plugging it, her Oxygen reality show was canceled for abysmal ratings. You know it’s bad when that happens. Now the former reality TV star decided to focus all her “career comeback” efforts on releasing a second album. Breath? Probably shouldn’t be held. As we previously reported, Paris and Kim Kardashian are “cool” with each other … on the surface. But she still can’t believe her one-time BFF’s level of fame. After all, Paris wrote the book on getting railed on tape and turning it into nonstop celebrity gossip attention and millions of dollars. Kim just did her one better. Or five, or 10 better. In any case, Kim is all the rage these days, while Paris’ first album sold only 197,000 copies at the PEAK of her popularity in 2006. Think the second one’s going to do better? “Paris has been working with Flo Rida, LMFAO, and David Guetta, and the album should be released this summer,” says a source, anonymously of course. “She has a lot riding on this project because her last reality show was canceled, and she needs to do something to re-invent herself. Paris is hoping to appeal to a broader fan base and would love to use the album as a platform for a possible project with MTV.” Whatever the odds of that are, bet against it. [Photo: WENN.com]
‘The fans can expect whatever they want this season, they’re not going to get it,’ Anders Holm warns of new season, premiering Tuesday. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Kelly Marino The cast of Workaholics Photo: MTV News Comedy Central’s truly excellent “Workaholics” makes its fully torqued return Tuesday night (May 29), kicking off its third season with an episode that sees Blake, Adam and ‘Ders embark on a “business trip” of a different sort — namely, the kind that involves acid. As the guys explained to MTV News, that’s just the tip of the iceberg for the new season, which sees them taking on tough topics, whether their fans like it or not. “We’re really tackling some hard-hitting issues with the third season,” Adam DeVine explained. “Obesity, ways to find drugs … hygiene is a real issue too.” “The fans can expect whatever they want this season, they’re not going to get it,” Anders Holm deadpanned. “We’re not going to give it to them.” As is the case for a show coming off a breakthrough second season — which saw them steal a dragon statue, terrorize a gated community and make tremendous advances in chewing tobacco on television (and was capped by DeVine’s Adam Demamp being named one of MTV’s Top 50 TV Characters of 2011 ) — the “Workaholics” plan to swing for the fences with their new season by totally changing everything you’ve come to love about the show. “We’re jumping the shark; after the fifth episode, we’re going to hire movie stars to play us,” DeVine said. “I have Matt Damon, he’s gaining 60 pounds. Wilfred Brimley is playing Kyle [Newachek’s water-trashy Kyle Hevacheck]. And we just got a really cute-looking cat to play Blake. And ‘Ders is no longer on the show at all.” That newfound clout is also evident in a pair of guest stars who will show up later this summer: none other than the Black Keys, who play “ponytailed dirtbags” and who have struck up a rather unlikely — and slightly soul-crushing — friendship with the “Workaholics” crew since filming their cameo. “We’ve just sort of stayed in touch, texting and stuff,” DeVine said. “It’s cool to see their lives. I’ll text them and be like, ‘Hey, what’s up, man?’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, just in Europe. Fifty-thousand people tonight. Pretty crazy.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, um, we shot a scene in Van Nuys today with 40 dudes my dad’s age working lights, and I had a fake erection.’ ”

The Bachelorette star Emily Maynard ‘s #1 priority is her 6-year-old daughter, Ricki. Kalon McMahon, a.k.a. the “villain” that ABC really wants you to hate (and a bunch of the guys probably do) this season, apparently feels otherwise. On tonight’s episode, he makes his feelings about fatherhood known. “I always had believed that my first child would be one of my own, so obviously embracing you and Ricki as a part of my life … it’s not the way I wrote it up in my journal as a kid,” he boldly admits to the Charlotte, N.C. single mom. Taken aback, Maynard asks the helicopter-riding douche to think of his own mother, who raised him as a single parent, but Kalon immediately cuts her off. “I love it when you talk, but I wish you’d let me finish,” he snaps. That comment will put Maynard even more on edge. “I love tall, skinny and funny, but I don’t love tall, skinny and condescending!” she snaps at him. Ouch. Another hopeful, Alessandro, reportedly tells her something similar tonight: “I don’t have a lot of experience with kids. You’ve got to teach me.” Not surprisingly, this doesn’t go over well with Em: “You see that as a compromise, not an honor? My daughter isn’t a compromise … anybody I spend the rest of my life with is going to see that as the biggest bonus ever.” Bam. Will either or both of these guys get roses tonight? Who will make it to the end this season? Follow this link for The Bachelorette spoilers we know so far.
