For the first time since 2001, Jennifer Lopez hosts an all new Saturday Night Live Feb. 27. Although she recently parted ways/got the boot (depending on who’s telling the story) from her longtime label home at Sony/Epic, JLo says fans can expect her seventh LP, Love?, to drop sometime this summer.
The former civil rights leader who wowed American Idol audiences with his anti-saggy pants anthem will headline a gig in Sin City this week. “Pants on the Ground” singer General Larry Platt will be flown first-class from Atlanta to Las Vegas to take the stage for a live performance of his viral hit at celebrity haunt JET Nightclub this Friday, TMZ reports.
In addition to a five figure payday, the unlikely star, 62, will be treated to all expenses paid accommodations at the Mirage Hotel — which hosts the club — and a free steak dinner.
Before Ke$ha was a Hollywood party girl known for smacking any boy who dared to touch “her junk,” she was just Kesha Sebert — a girl who liked to sing with her friends.
A YouTuber has unearthed this footage of the pop singer, then 13, performing “Karma Police” by Radiohead with a group of pals during a middle school talent show. Not great, but not quite as terrible as 15-year-old Rihanna croaking her way through Mariah Carey’s “Hero.”
What do you expect from a girl who uses glitter as an accessory?
Ke$ha, no longer “brushing her teeth with a bottle Jack.” It’s only the best for this breakout pop star, who’s back fresh off the success of her catchy anthem “Tik Tok” with the World Video Premiere of “Blah Blah Blah,” the second single from her debut album, Animal.
We hear former Spice Girl Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown is in the running to fill the vacant co-host seat on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars. Brown, who will host the forthcoming second season of Oxygen’s Dance Your Ass Off, finished second on a previous season of DWTS.
Mel has also provided commentary on the competition of TV newsmagazine Access Hollywood.
He’s PEOPLE Magazine’s Most Handsome Man. She’s a striking French model and singer. But forget their stunning appearances on red carpet, the conservative FOX News cites celebrity tattles who claim Johnny Depp and his longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have some serious gripes with personal hygiene could benefit from a thorough scrubbing…..and a bottle of Listerine wouldn’t hurt, either.
“Johnny usually smells because he rarely showers,” says one tattler. “He isn’t big on personal cleanliness and Vanessa isn’t much different. They found their perfect match in each other – it’s hard to be around them. Their personal hygiene is not their priority.”
A new celebrity sex tape is being shopped around The Smut Circut, and this one features none other than Rozlyn Papa — one of the most controversial figures in the history of ABC’s The Bachelor. The castoff, who briefly courted pilot Jake Pavelka, sparked a scandal on the current season of the long-runnng dating competition after she allegedly had sex with a married show producer while still in the Bachelor house.
Now Roz is in trouble again, this time for a leaked sex tape that is reportedly making its way around the filthy underbelly of Hollywood. Papa, a 29 year-old single mother and makeup artist from Richmond, Virginia, is reportedly featured performing a “sexual act” with a “well-endowed” male, a tipster told TMZ on Thursday. A rep for adult-themed website LiveJasmin claims to have watched the footage and says the woman in the video is “definitely” Papa. When asked to comment on the swirling sex tape rumors, Rozlyn’s publicist replied that his client “has no knowledge” of any such tape. Gee Roz, that’s sorta a tough thing to forget!
The sex tape bombshell comes days after Papa got into a nasty war of words with Bachelor host Chris Harrison during Monday night’s “Women Tell All” Special.
Tune in next Monday for The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love Finale, airing @ 8 PM on ABC.

New Line Cinema has rolled out a new trailer for the eagerly-awaited Nightmare on Elm Street remake. When our parents invested in a VCR back in 1988, my older brother and his friends became regulars at Erol’s, the local rental store just down the street. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 was a big crowd pleaser at the time. Since my brother lived to torture me, he thought it would be funny to frighten the hell out of me by inviting me to a screening of this devilment. This despite a stern warning from our Mom not to. Nearly 22 years later, Freddy Krueger still scares the bejesus out of me. Don’t judge me! Needless to say, I’ll be skipping this one.
For those of you brave enough to sit through it, A Nightmare On Elm Street — starring Jackie Earle Haley and Kellan Lutz — slashes its way to the box office April 30.
Whale trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40, was killed in a tragic accident with an orca at the SeaWorld Shamu Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday. The killer whale snatched Brancheau from a poolside platform in its jaws and thrashed the woman around underwater, killing her in front of a horrified audience of families and young children. And as disturbing as yesterday’s accident is, the public is even more disturbed by the fact that Tilikum The Whale has a history of violence.
This is the third time the animal has been involved in a human death in the past 20 years.
A marine conservationist with the American Museum of Natural History says the attack was likely “premeditated.” He argues that killer whales are intelligent creatures that don’t do things accidentally.

English singer Cheryl Cole is determined to erase all traces of her soon-to-be ex-husband from her life — even if she has to have them surgically-removed.
The “Parachute” singer wants a tribute tattoo, which reads Mrs. C, removed from the back of her neck, and is making enquiries about getting a quickie divorce, following allegations that her soccer star husband Ashley Cole slept with five women behind her back.
The singer, 26, first revealed the inking in November 2007, a year after she wed the athlete. Cheryl is reportedly consulting a Los Angeles cosmetic surgeon, who specializes in the laser surgery the singer would need to get rid of the tattoo.
“It would be a long process requiring lots of return visits. But she says it will be worth it,” friends tell The Sun.
US Olympic skiers Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso — often described as the “Yin & Yang” of the sport — may be struggling to share the spotlight.

Jesus Luz — Madonna’s on again/off again — has landed a recording contract with the singer’s former label Warner Bros., a new report claims.
Jesus has allegedly landed a two-album deal with the label Madonna left last year after more than 25 years.
The 23-year-old Brazilian, who has been dating the pop queen for a year, recently began showing off his DJ skills by spinning at exclusive parties. Now the Material Girl is helping Luz craft his career in the industry by encouraging her longtime collaborator Victor Calderone to remix Luz’s tracks, according to The Sun.
A tipster tells the publication: “Madonna really wants Jesus’ career to take off. She’s been… putting him in contact with as many of her influential pals as she can. She’s worked with Victor for a very long time and he understands just what she likes. Having him rejig Jesus’ tracks will give them a cool cachet which is essential to building a clubland buzz.”
Jesus’ debut single “We Came From Light,” is due for release in May.
