When Slut Shit Goes Wrong: Kiely Williams has hit out at critics (that includes us) who cried “EPIC FAIL!” over the former 3LW and Cheetah Girl’s sex-charged single and music video “Spectacular.” The ex-Disney star has been the laughing stock of the blogosphere ever since the official video for her first solo single hit the Interwebs on Monday.

The video for “Spectacular” features Williams — decked out for The Ho Stroll in fishnet leggings, a faux fur jacket, and handcuffs as a bracelet — sodomizing a brick wall and crooning about getting wasted at some dive and going home for an unprotected roll in the hay with a dreadlocked stranger.

You know, a typically Saturday night. (Insert eye-rolling here….)

While many a digested YouTuber has argued that the rave-inspired dance track promotes ideals of unprotected sex and even date rape, Kiely argues that her Not Safe For Work, Life, or While Eating “Spectacular” was written and produced to raise awareness about such serious issues — not encourage them. The 23-year-old insists she only filmed the promo to draw attention to the number of people who fail to use protection during casual sexual encounters. The phrase “Lame Excuse” springs to mind. If you truly want to encourage people to stop hooking up for drunken trysts, how about appearing in a PSA or something? But let’s hear her out:

In a message accompanying the video on her YouTube.com page, Kiely wrote, “I am playing a character in the music video for the song Spectacular, as I did in the Cheetah Girl movies. Young women across the country get intoxicated and have unprotected sex. That’s a fact. I recorded the song to bring attention to this frighteningly prevalent activity. It is absurd to infer or suggest that I am condoning this behavior,” she added.

“Are Lady Gaga and Beyonce advocating murder with the Telephone video? Of course not. Was Rihanna encouraging suicide with Russian Roulette? No. Was Madonna suggesting that young unmarried girls get pregnant with Papa Don’t Preach? I don’t think so. Is Academy Award winner Monique a proponent of incest because of her portrayal of Mary in the movie Precious? Clearly, the answer is no,” the singer continued.

“I wrote Spectacular and made the video to bring attention to a serious women’s health and safety issue. Please don’t shoot the messenger.”

Tiger Woods is featured in a new ad for Nike that premiered on ESPN Wednesday. The sports brand is one of the few companies that stood by Tiger Woods after it was disclosed that the golfer had been playing putt-putt with pornstars, Pancake House servers, and half the cocktail waitresses on the West Coast during a devastating sex scandal last winter. In the stark, black-and-white ad, Woods looks directly into the camera without speaking while a recording of his late father (Earl Woods) is heard, speaking about taking responsibility.

“I want to find out what your thinking was, I want to find out what your feelings are, and did you learn anything?” the elder Woods, who died in May 2006, asks in a voiceover. Tiger does not speak in the commercial — which was filmed several weeks ago at Isleworth Country Club, a golf course near his suburban Orlando home.

The ad is Tiger’s first new TV spot since the sex scandal prompted some sponsors — including Accenture, AT&T, and Gatorade — to distance themselves from him. Nike spokesman Derek Kent says the company is glad they opted to stand by Woods’ side: “We support Tiger and his family. As he returns to competitive golf, the ad addresses his time away from the game using the powerful words of his father….”

Tiger will make his long-awaited return to pro golfing at the Masters tournament in Augusta, Georgia on Thursday.

Lady Gaga is “terrified” her family will disown her if she acts on her secret desire to date a woman, tipsters close to the star divulged to Britain’s LOOK Magazine this week.

“I think if she admitted she could love a woman and it’s not just part of her act, they’d all be surprised. If Stef’s family rejected her for falling for a woman, she’d be utterly heartbroken. She adores them, especially her younger sister Natalie,” says a friend of the pop sensation.

The “Telephone” singer — who recently told New York Magazine that she believes gay people are “born” that way — is said to be struggling with her own sexuality but is worried about the reaction she may receive from her “ultra-traditional Italian Catholic” family.

(Honey, if they can forgive some of those outfits that you wear, accepting a girlfriend should be a breeze!)

Although Lady Gaga’s dance hits built a strong fanbase with gay clubgoers early in her career and the eccentric pop tart has been outspoken about her own tendencies toward women, her family think it’s all “just part of her act,” blabbed a tattling pal — who asked not to be identified.

“Gaga is unsure whether she wants to be with a man or a woman. She’s scared that if she falls for a woman, her family will reject her, because ultimately, they want her to settle down with a man. For all Gaga’s success, her love life is a mess – and at the heart of the matter is the fact I think she’s scared of allowing herself to fall in love with another woman….”

ABC and producers of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition are scaling back the size of their renovations in the wake of defaulted mortgages and shattered dreams for dozens of disadvantaged families who have appeared on the show.

On Monday, The Wall Street Journalth published a report about beneficiaries of the show defaulting on their mortgages. Many families quickly find out that owning a giant home with a merry-go-round, bowling alley, and shark tank isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. After all, who’s going to front those hefty property taxes, the sky-high utility bills and lawns as larges at football fields don’t just mow themselves.

Some homeowners have tapped the equity of their super-sized homes only to fall behind on the higher mortgage payments, The Journal says. The disappointing turn of events has forced series producers to take notice of this glaring sign of the times by adjusting the way they rebuild homes. ABC will now scale back the redesigns to give families a more modest makeover that will be more cost-efficient for homeowners in the long run.

“The show’s producers say they are aware of the problem and are making changes appropriate to current economic reality: downsizing….”

Looks like Samuel Powers is out of a home.

Dustin Diamond, who played the proverbial nerd Screech on TNBC’s Saved By The Bell from 1989 through the mid-’90s, is losing his Ozaukee County, Wisconsin home to foreclosure. According to legal documents filed this week, the unemployed Diamond is thisclose to being tossed out on his rear after falling more than $290,000 behind on his mortgage payments to Wells Fargo Bank.

Too bad the porn thing didn’t work out for him……

The ’80s teen star has been estranged from much of the rest of the Bell cast since penning the ill-received “tell-all book” Behind The Bell in 2009.

At last Mad Men fans have something to drag them through those Hiatus Blues until the show returns to AMC on Sunday, July 18: Here’s a hilarious video of the show’s cast and crew singing (and lip-synching) “Bye Bye Birdie.”

Series stars Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elizabeth Moss, and several crew members filmed the sing-a-long as a thank you video for Mad Men creator Matt Weiner, after wrapping production on the show’s third season.

Glee cutie Lea Michele is using her impressive pipes to spread the word about animal cruelty in the fur industry. Lea’s partnered with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to urge fans to boycott furry products, with the help of the tagline: “If You Wouldn’t Wear Your Dog, Please Don’t Wear Any Fur.”

Lea is the star of a new PETA public service announcement in which the Broadway darling calls on all Gleeks to “do some spring cleaning and rid their closets of fur,” the animal rights group remarks in an impassioned press release.

“Everyone wants to fit in and feel like they belong,” Michele says in the PSA, which also features a rescused “Dis Dat Dog” (AKA — “Mutt”) named Sailor. “But sometimes you have to take a stand and step away from the crowd. … With so many fashionable, cruelty-free options available, there’s really no excuse for joining a club that wears someone else’s coat.”

This is the second time Lea has joined forces with PETA to help animals. Michele first worked with the group during her tenure with Broadway’s Spring Awakening, when she starred in a campaign to put an end to New York’s carriage industry.

And don’t forget to mark your calendars, Gleeks: Glee returns to FOX on Tuesday, April 13 @ 9:28 PM….

Here comes the drama: On Wednesday, former reality star Jon Gosselin officially filed legal papers asking a Pennsylvania judge to grant him primary custody of his eight children with ex-wife (and accused “absentee mother”) Kate Gosselin, TMZ.com said this afternoon.

His attorney Anthony List says that Kate’s recent appearances on ABC’s ballroom dance talent show Dancing with the Stars — albeit them awful — has turned the former nurse’s attention away from her brood.

Kate currently has primary custody of the Gosselin children and the unemployed Jon is required to pay her an astounding $20,000 a month in child support — something he has also asked the judge to review.

We suggest the Court does what’s best for these kids and promptly hands them over to be raised by a pack of wolves — they’ll undoubtedly be better off!

Former Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan is suing the creator of the show, Marc Cherry, for assault and wrongful termination. Sheridan claims Cherry slapped her face and eventually killed off her character after the pair got into a heated argument over a script in Sept. 2008. So how are the other Housewives handling the drama? American Idol’s Ryan got Eva Longoria to dish on the fracas.

“It’s a big lawsuit, it’s a big deal, I love the show so much, that I would hate for anything to really tarnish the reputation of the show,” she said during an interview with Ryan’s “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” on Wednesday. “I really would like all of it to go away.”

Eva said she was not on set when the alleged incident occurred , but noted that it is hard for her to imagine Marc being violent.

“He’s funny and sweet… and probably could not harm a fly. He’s just so sweet. I do know they had a thing on set, I guess it was a couple of years ago,” Eva said, referring to Nicollette’s claims that her former boss struck her “across the head and face” on set.

Here comes Bridezilla!

Katy Perry has been warning anyone that will listen that her fiance, British comedian Russell Brand, is more involved (and by involved we mean obsessed) in planning their upcoming wedding than she is — and she’s got proof. Early Wednesday, Katy uploaded this TwitPic of Brand playing dress-up in a white wedding gown!

“Bridezilla much,” Katy Tweeted, linking to a photo of her bedazzled Rusty.

(Let’s hope they don’t show up to the altar wearing the same Vera Wang gown!)

Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox won’t stand for the controversial budget cuts affecting teachers and students in California. The Hollywood lovers “Say No To Cuts” and take on “Governator” Arnold Schwarzenegger in a politically-charged sketch released on FunnyOrDie.com on Wednesday. In the sketch, Megan and Brian are appointed teacher, janitor, school nurse, and ESOL instructor for a classroom three times its maximum capacity.

Screen legend Jane Fonda has been one of Hollywood’s most vocal aging divas when it comes to nipping and tucking. After famously vowing in 2000 never to have plastic surgery again, in February, Fonda revealed that she had once more had her face digitally remastered. Now the “Cat Ballou” star — a devoted Tweeter — is opening up to CNN’s Larry King about why she broke her 10-year-old vow to stay away from the scapel.

China has found its SuBo! A young Chinese man named Lin Yu Chun is competing on a local reality show called Super Star Avenue and the talented vocalist has become the Web’s newest viral star after performing a powerful performance of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.”

Now if only Whitney herself were still that impressive. Guess crack really does kill vocal cords.

Filing this under “Things That Make It Difficult To Keep Our Breakfast Down….” As we’ve all heard by now, Lindsay Lohan’s estranged father Michael is set to marry Kate Major, the former girlfriend of Lohan’s ex-bud Jon Gosselin. On Tuesday, Lohan, 49, announced his engagement to Major, a 27-year-old ousted tabloid reporter who quit her job with Star Magazine in pursuit of a shortlived relationship with a then-married Gosselin.

However, wedding bells aren’t the only big plans the loving twosome has in mind for the future: With at least eight “babymaking” years (As my Grandma would say….) left on the old biological clock, Kate’s convinced her husband-to-be — already a father of four children with ex-wife Dina — that he has the energy to raise at least one more Little Lohan.

“Kate wants a baby. Since I’m getting no younger, we practice at least four times a night. We agreed, that if she does get pregnant, one is enough….” Michael told NBC’s Access Hollywood on Wednesday, noting that the 23 year age difference between he and Kate is only a problem for other people.

The couple will wed in their native New York City later this and Michael hopes his four children will be able to attend.

“The wedding will be at Oheka Castle on Long Island,” he continued. “I hope that Lindsay and the rest of my kids will be there…..”

The Brits just aren’t that into watching Lindsay Lohan save the world: an abysmal 224,000 viewers tuned in to Lohan’s Indian Journey, a documentary highlighting the trafficking of women and children in Bihar. The feature aired on The UK’s BBC3 this week and was beaten out by an airing of Gene Kelly’s 1951 cinema classic, An American In Paris.

The “Mean Girls” star, who has hit headlines for her stints in rehab and drink-driving arrests, teamed up with The BBC Network for the charity work, but the venture may cause even more harm to Lohan’s already damaged rep. Lindsay is facing a ban from India after immigration officials cited the star for entering Bihar without securing the appropriate work visas.

America’s most famous teen mom Bristol Palin has partnered with The Candies Foundation to launch a campaign to prevent other young women from entering motherhood too soon by revealing the realities behind being a teen parent and delivering a latent message of abstinence.

“What if I didn’t come from a famous family?” the daughter of famed Republican Sarah Palin asks in a new 30-second PSA, which also features Bristol’s one-year-old son Tripp. “What if I didn’t have all their support? What if I didn’t have all these opportunities? Believe me, it wouldn’t be pretty. Pause before you play.”

The PSA will run through May to coincide with Teen Pregnancy Month.

Ex New York Giants superstar Tiki Barber has dumped his college sweetheart and wife of 11 years Ginny for a former NBC intern, according to sources cited in Wednesday’s edition of The New York Post.

Ginny and Tiki began dating 16 years ago when both were students at the University of Virginia. Ginny, a former fashion publicist, is a full-time mom to the couple’s two sons — A.J., 7, and Chason, 6.

Post sources say The TODAY Show correspondent reportedly took up with Traci Lynn Johnson, a petite and blonde 23-year-old, when the pair met while working at NBC’s NYC headquarters.

“We were shocked to find out that he could walk out on his wife of 11 years while she’s pregnant with twins. He was with this girl in Senegal while Ginny was three months pregnant,” one family friend exclaims of the shamed sportsman.

Jessica Simpson is daring to go nude — the singer/actress appears on the May cover of fashion mag Marie Claire without the help of cosmetics or digital airbrushing.

Simpson, 29, appears on the cover as she researches what women’s looks mean around the world in her VH1 reality show, The Price of Beauty. For Marie Claire’s May issue, Simpson ventured to the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles with her best friend and hairdresser Ken Paves to interview women on what feature of their body they loved most.

The issue hits newsstands April 13 — but we’d love to hear your thoughts on Jessica’s bold decision to go “nude?”

The struggling young actress who lent her voice to “Milkaholic Baby Lindsay” in the E-Trade Super Bowl ad that prompted a chuckle-inducing lawsuit from a peeved-off Lindsay Lohan is steaming that the legal drama has tied up her paycheck.

Jenn Harris says she could be robbed of the residual payments she’s counting on to pay off her student loans, thanks to La Lohan’s legal manuever to bilk $100 million from the Wall Street firm.

“I wanna sue her for stalemating my residuals,” Harris fumed in a posting on her Facebook fan page this week. “I did nothing to her to f – – – with my student loan payments like this.”

Harris is getting her revenge by spoofing Lindsay in a new NYC stage show where she stumbles around chain smoking before drenching herself in a gallon of milk.

The New York Post writes: “Harris created a wild new act that went over like gangbusters at its recent debut at downtown’s Joe’s Pub. She stumbled around the stage in sunglasses, a Lohan-like wig and a diaper over black leggings. Waving a cigarette, she did a drunken karaoke cover of Jason Derulo’s ‘In My Head’ For the grand finale, she poured a gallon of milk on herself.”
