Jennifer Lopez is using her “Louboutins” to march to another record label! The platinum-selling singer/actress has parted ways with her longtime label home at Sony Music Epic, Deadline Hollywood is reporting.

We wonder if falling on her famous ass at the AMAs had anything to do with it?

J. Lo insiders claim the decision was “a mutual one” between the star and label’s current CEO Rob Stringer. Benny Medina, Jennifer’s representative, confirmed the split in a brief statement issued Monday afternoon:

“Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music group, and they have shared many successes together, but the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction her career as an actress and recording artist. She is grateful and appreciative to everyone Sony for all that they accomplished together.”

Jennifer’s long-delayed 7th album, LOVE, had been set for release this April, but is now on the shelf indefinitely.

Sad times. For old times sake, I’ll leave you with my favorite J. Lo track (More like one of the few J. Lo tracks I actually find tolerable).

Don’t look now Twi-Hards, but your beloved Robert Pattinson has ditched his signature coif! Pattz showed up on the red carpet at the BAFTA Awards in London over the weekend sporting a headful of limp noodles! Two thumbs down. This isn’t the first time Rob has caused a fuss with his tousled locks hair. The actor sported a short cut in December 2008 — to the fury of Twilight fans worldwide.

Our Little Genius, a Mark Burnett-produced game show that was yanked from the FOX schedule in December, may have been pulled over leaked answers, according to a new report from The New York Times.

Genius featured kids ages 6 to 12 answering increasingly tough questions for cash prizes.

The Federal Communications Commission has launched an investigation of FOX’s planned game show after receiving a letter from the father of one of the potential contestants claiming that the child was given a list of potential topics and given specific answers to at least four questions, says The Times, which obtained a copy of the letter following a Freedom of Information Act request.

The show was set to begin Jan. 7. An airdate has not yet been set.

After four seasons and a summer-themed spinoff, reality fans aren’t done “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”

Sunday night’s Season 4 finale of E!’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians — which featured the birth of Kourtney and Scott’s baby boy Mason — attracted 4.8 million viewers, setting a record for the network’s largest audience ever. Over the past season, the show — which shadows the wealthy Kardashian/Jenner Clan and their affluent lifestyle of fame, fashion, and fortune — has become the most-watched series in the history of the E! Network.

After more than three years of togetherness, Ryan Phillippe and Australian actress Abbie Cornish are calling it quits. Wondering who dumped who? Well, that depends on who’s telling the story!

On Sunday, PEOPLE Magazine ran a statement from Abbie’s publicist, which claimed Phillippe has been kicked to the curb by Cornish.

“Abbie ended the relationship with Ryan and she moved out of their home….”

Over the weekend, the Australian starlet, 27, was photographed carting her belongings from the Los Angeles home the couple once shared, but Ryan’s people spins a different tale. On Monday, a mouthpiece for Reese Witherspoon’s former husband issued a press release making it clear that Ry was the one who did the dumping: “Ryan ended the relationship with Abbie recently while she was in Australia and asked her to remove her things from his residence, which she did this weekend.”

Cornish, 27, and Phillippe, 35, met while co-staring in the movie Stop-Loss in 2006. The former couple survived intense media scrutiny following Phillippe’s divorce from actress Reese Witherspoon. The split comes after months of tabloid speculation that Ryan has been cheating on Abbie.

If still you’re wondering why #WeWantLaceySchwimmer is a Trending Topic on Twitter this afternoon, you probably haven’t heard that Samantha Harris won’t be the only Dancing With The Stars regular exiting the ballroom this season.

Pro dancer Lacey Schwimmer will also be saying goodbye to the popular reality dance competition, which kicks off its 10th season on ABC next month. Lacey, an aspiring singer, dropped the bombshell on her Twitter page late Friday, sending fans into a Tweeting frenzy for much of the weekend.

“Hey twitterbugs! I will not be doing DWTS this season. But be sure to tune in! <3,” Schwimmer wrote, later adding: “Biglove to you all. I honestly adore and cherish each of you. *Smilez*”

Did we or did we not tell that this interview was going to become a problem?

Singing icon Elton John Elton John is coming under fire for his recent remarks on religion and Jesus’ sexuality in an interview with Parade Magazine. At least two Christian civil rights organizations, including The Catholic League of America, have issued statements slamming the “Rocket Man” singer for “ignorance” and “intolerance” after Elton called Jesus a “compassionate gay man” in the interview published last week.

“I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems,” John, 62, told Parade at the time. “On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don’t know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East—you’re as good as dead.”

Catholic League president Bill Donohue is livid over the pop star’s statements and promptly issued a scathing release ripping Elton as a “sexual deviant.”

“Jesus was certainly compassionate, but to say He was ’super-intelligent’ is to compare the Son of God to a successful game-show contestant,” Donohue said. “More seriously, to call Jesus a homosexual is to label Him a sexual deviant. But what else would we expect from a man who previously said, ‘From my point of view, I would ban religion completely.’”

The ultra-conservative Christian Voice is also taking offense with Elton’s remarks. Stephen Green, director of right-wing group, has dismissed the gay claim as “rubbish.”

“The Bible says Jesus was without sin and that rules out homosexuality,” he said. “This is a desperate cry for attention.”

Rihanna’s rumored new boyfriend — Los Angeles Dodgers star Matt Kemp — fueled speculation about their relationship by throwing the “Umbrella” singer a surprise birthday party over the weekend.

No release date has been announced yet.

Sienna Miller has confirmed tabloid dish that she’s rekindled her romance with cheating former flame Jude Law.
The Factory Girl star called off her engagement to the actor in 2006 after Law — a father of four — engaged in a headline-grabbing fling with his children’s nanny.

Jude and Sienna sparked speculation that they had reunited when they were spotted partying in New York last year and vacationing together in Barbados over the holidays. Now Miller has confirmed they are dating again, telling The Daily Mail Monday: “It’s going really well. I’m so happy actually, he’s great.”

Last fall, Jude Law welcomed a daughter with a former model her briefly dated. Sienna dated married actor Balthazar Getty for more than a year before calling it quits in 2009.

Hollywood wild child Lindsay Lohan is coming clean about her well-publicized history of drug addiction in a candid chat with Britain’s The Sun on Monday. Lohan — who was arrested on DUI charges twice in 2007 — confesses that she came close to killing herself through a mix of alcohol and cocaine. And LiLo cites a very interesting culprit as the catalyst for her troubles: her ex-con dad, Michael.

Lindsay says she used alcohol and illegal substances to ease the pain of her personal problems, and claims the situation worsened when her father Michael started giving interviews about her upon his release from prison three years ago. The Georgia Rule actress got to know about cocaine because of her dad’s descent into addiction.

“When my father was going public, that’s when I hit rock bottom. I abused substances too much and it wasn’t the answer to my problems. I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine, and mind-altering substances. Now I’m in a place where I don’t need to use anything and I feel emotions because I choose to. I was only aware of cocaine because of my dad. I was terrified of it. But I tried it because I was stubborn, stupid and wanted to see what it was like.”

Michael continues to insist that Lindsay is addicted to prescription painkillers and regularly chats about the star’s alleged drug use to various online media outlets.
