Twilight Saga Covers: Choose Your Team!

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:55:54 EST

Off screen, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are close friends.

(Close, naked friends in the case of the first two stars!)

But as part of the Twilight Saga's promotional efforts, these three actors are often pitted against one another. You can't simply be a fan of them all, the movie studio implies; life is all about choices, few more important than the one readers must make below.

Entertainment Weekly has released a trio of collector's edition covers. Can you purchase each one? Of course. But where is the fun-filled debate in that?!?

Instead, we're asking fans to study the following photos and then chime in. Which is your favorite?

Whose team are you on?

ABC: Cool with Woman Beating, Down on Men Kissing

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:48:26 EST

We can't wait to hear ABC explain this one:

The network booted Adam Lambert off Good Morning America this week after he kissed a guy on stage at the American Music Awards.

However, the show is scheduled to air an interview and possible performance by Chris Brown next week, someone convicted of felony assault for beating on Rihanna.

“The network is giving a mixed message,” a source at ABC source told The New York Post. "It doesn’t trust someone who shocked with an unpredictable show and a gay kiss, but then it is happy to go ahead with Chris Brown, who was convicted of felony assault.”

That will especially be true if the show features a performance by Brown. It's one thing to interview him and perhaps shed light on the serious issue of domestic abuse.

But if Brown actually performs songs from his new album, ABC will be giving a convicted woman beater a platform with which to make money and promote his music.

Said another insider at the network:

“Chris Brown’s interview was booked way before Adam Lambert took to the stage. It is to give him a chance to respond to Rihanna’s interview. The possibility of him performing a song will be worked out next week.”

It's unclear why Brown should have a chance to respond to anything. Didn't he forfeit that right when he left his girlfriend a bloody, beaten mess?

Miley Cyrus Thinks Zac Efron is "The Hottest Person in the World"

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:30:51 EST

Miley Cyrus doesn't just hate the Twilight Saga, an opinion to which she's entitled.

But the jealous singer actually referred to it as a "cult" this week, going off on fans that follow the franchise.

In that same interview with Sirius XM’s The Morning Mash, though, Miley made it clear she feels exactly the opposite way about Zac Efron.

"I think Zac Efron is the hottest person in the world," she said. "I really, really like him."

Cyrus, of course, is aware that Zac is taken. But his relationship with Vanessa Hudgens is actually a major reason for the attraction, she added.

"Zac could get any girl... and do whatever, and he is so loyal and a really good friend... He's just like super good looking."

Also in the interview, Miley said she could "neither confirm nor deny" that she's dating Liam Hemsworth. That might be her way of keeping her private life private.

Or it might be her way of letting Efron know she's available if he wants her. Keep a sharp eye out, Vanessa!

Joanna Krupa: Topless for PETA

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 09:56:32 EST

Next month, readers of Playboy and surfers of the Internet will be able to see Joanna Krupa nude in Playboy.

Moreover, they can see this model almost naked in a former ad for PETA.

With those images in mind, it's difficult to get overly excited for Krupa's latest PETA campaign. She's merely topless in the poster.

Said Krupa, who poses in the ad with her dog and advocates pet adoption:

"We're trying to spread the word that breeding isn't the way to go. Somebody needs to put their foot down and stop this breeding and these puppy mills... they're in these little tiny cages, and all they're doing is breeding their whole life. It makes me so angry that our government doesn't do anything about it. So I am!"

Hey, maybe Sarah Palin will do something about it if elected in 2012. Oh, wait. She likes to shoot animals, not save them.

T.H. Gossip Presents: The Biggest Turkeys of 2009

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:03:10 EST

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Hollywood Gossip!

What would this traditional holiday be without family, food, football and reflection upon the things we appreciate most in life - in the case of THG, that means some of the turkeys we had the privilege of covering this year.

With that said, we present our Top 10 Turkeys of 2009 ...

10. Kanye West and Richard Heene (tie). Perhaps it's unfair to include him by virtue of one incident, but Kanye's hijacking of Taylor Swift's VMA speech was an all-timer. He's almost as full of hot air as Richard Heene's invention.

9. The Kardashians. Pregnancies. Breakups. Marriages. Reality shows. Twitter accounts. Blogs. So many Kardashians, so few ways to escape them.

8. Miley Cyrus. Whether she's grinding on stripper poles, angering Asians, making up her own controversies or deleting her Twitter, the teen can be a bad influence.

7. Tila Tequila. A late entry to the list thanks to her ustream rant. There's no PR stunt she won't stoop to, or article of clothing she won't remove, to get attention.

6. Spencer Pratt. 2008's top turkey staged two weddings, caused an epic fiasco on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, pimped his own wife to Playboy and pretended to get a vasectomy on The Hills. For him, a relatively tame year.

Sorry, Spencer Pratt. You're only our sixth biggest turkey this year.

5. Sarah Palin and Levi Johnston (tie). One's a possible 2012 presidential candidate, the other the 19-year-old unwed father of her grandson. Both have gone rogue (one baring all in Playgirl, the other in a book by that name). Neither shuts up.

4. Perez Hilton. Talk about a fowl human being. With every ounce of fame the celeb gossip magnate garners, the more his own celebrity goes to his head and the more damage he does to his own causes. That will.i.am fight won't be the last.

3. Dr. Conrad Murray. Worst. Doctor. Ever.

2. Carrie Prejean. The dethroned Miss California became a phenomenon after voicing her opposition to gay marriage. She went on to become a self-serving, hypocritical, lying solo sex tape star who throws hissy fits on Larry King.

1. Jon Gosselin. No explanation required. When you're talking about turkeys, there's the Ed Hardy-wearing d-bag and there's everyone else playing for second.

The biggest turkey of the year, ladies and gentlemen. Need we say more?

For Your Entertainment: The Official Music Video

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:29:48 EST

See, Adam Lambert is capable of singing a song without making out with a guy and simulating oral sex! We knew he could do it!

The singer, who has been the talk of the Internet this week for his rendition of "For Your Entertainment" at the American Music Awards, has released the official music video for that same single.

It's closer to the Lambert American Idol fans fell in love with in the spring: flamboyant, fun, energetic and racy... but not over any lines.

Follow this article's jump to check it out and let us know what you think.

WTF News of the Day: Courtney Love Calls Out Jamie Spears for Molesting Britney

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:19:06 EST

The day before Thanksgiving, allow The Hollywood Gossip to give thanks to loons such as Courtney Love.

She may be a complete and utter freak, and she may be accusing an innocent man of child molestation, but she certainly keeps our job interesting!

In a new Facebook posting, Love accused Jamie Spears - the father of Britney Spears and Jamie-Lynn Spears - of inappropriately touching his kids. Read for yourself, if you can interpret Courtney's spelling...

"britneys dad molested her , imagine the father that molested you owning you for slavery while your forced to sing songs picked for thier sexual content every night, insane right? i have it on First had authority, and fight as hard as she is and does she still didnt pull that card, its a pride thing i can relate to, However they want to play dirty, lets go, Im SO not affraid of the little trolls who hit this when i was f***** up who are called lawyers. lets GO."

Indeed, lets GO, Court! Directly to the insane asylum, hopefully. Or at least a dictionary.

John Mayer: A Douchebag in Details

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:19:22 EST

Douchebag in Details alert!

John Mayer is featured in the latest issue of this magazine, as he discusses his career, his fans and those that despise the annoying loser.

Guess which camp THG falls into?

Here are a couple excerpts from Mayer's interview, as we ask readers to comment on the singer's tattoos. Are they sexy or shady?

On his music: “I don’t know if you know, but I’m not exactly Bob Dylan – I’m already a pop musician…I want to reach as many people as possible…I don’t mind compromising.”

On his critics: “What if I had a booth on the street and I said, ‘Attention everybody who hates me: If you have a problem with me, I’m ready to hear your gripes! I will be outside the Barneys store on 60th Street from two to four this afternoon... I will only be speaking to people who do not like me. Come out and let me have it.’ How many people do you think would be standing there?…Ze-ro.”

Hear that, haters? You gotta speak up!

Women of The View Fawn Over Zac Efron

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:05:01 EST

It's no secret that teenage girls scream and fawn over Zac Efron.

But who knew the young actor could elicit a similar reaction from a senior citizen?

Zac appeared on The View this week, alongside Claire Danes, in order to promote his upcoming movie Me & Orson Welles. You can view its trailer NOW.

But Barbara Walters wanted to talk about Efron's latest honor: People magazine said the 22-year old star had the best chest in Hollywood. Joked Zac:

“It’s an intense competition. I had the petition with 1,000 signatures. It was like door-to-door ‘Will you sign this?’”

Watch the ladies swoon over Efron below:

David Archuleta: The Anti-Adam Lambert

matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:42:41 EST

THG stands behind Adam Lambert and his AMA performance, especially after he acknowleged today that his behavior crossed a line.

Still, we admit that it's refreshing to watch David Archuleta on stage, as the former American Idol finalist won't be grabbing anyone's crotch any time soon.

Quite the opposite, in fact, as Archie put on a concert in Salt Lake City this week. For a duet of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," he was joined on stage by a close, personal guest: His mother!

It doesn't get much more adorable than this:
