When Anderson Cooper isn’t dodging explosions in Gaza (see video below), he’s going off on Twitter followers who accuse him of covering the Israel-Hamas conflict unfairly.

Lindsay Lohan Royally Pissed at Dad; Will Seek Restraining Order Against Michael Lohan

Lindsay Lohan has HAD IT with Michael Lohan, and the events of this month – leaking the phone call during her fight with her mom, and Friday’s intervention attempt – were the last straw.

The actress will seek a restraining order against him, according to reports.

Lindsay’s mom has been encouraging her to do this ever since MiLo secretly recorded and leaked a phone call she made detailing the epic fight with Dina earlier this month.

LiLo wasn’t on board with seeking legal protection … until now.

Originally she felt that cutting him off was good enough; now she thinks the only

Steven Tyler on Alleged American Idol Rivalry: Total BS!

American Idol producers have come out and assured fans that all is good with the show’s judging panel.

But Steven Tyler doesn’t believe the public statement was necessary… because the entire Mariah Carey vs. Nicki Minaj feud is total BS, according to the former panelist.

Nicki Minaj Goes Off on Mariah Carey

Asked by TMZ whether he thought the confrontation this week between singers was contrived for publicity, Tyler responded “of course.”

And when asked when he would be returning to the Fox competition, Tyler scoffed and made it clear: NEVER.

Kim Kardashian and Beyonce: Besties in Birmingham!

So much for that Kim Kardashian vs. Beyonce feud.

The wife of Jay-Z and the pretend girlfriend of Kanye West sat together Friday night at a Watch the Throne concert in Birmingham, England, smiling, laughing and dancing it up as their men performed on stage.

Kim and Beyonce were dancing all night! They even went into the mosh pit!” a witness recounts to Us Weekly. “It was the most hectic thing ever!”

Previous reports stated that Beyonce took issue with Kim dating Kanye, partly due to the difference in upbringings between Knowles and Kardashian and partly, we presume, because Beyonce has

Saturday night honored the best in non-prime time TV as the Daytime Emmy Awards were handed out at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“Daytime” is classified as 2 a.m. until 6 p.m., so there was a lot of ground to cover for Anderson Cooper and Oscar the Grouch, who served as co-hosts.

Despite two soap operas biting the dust this year (All My Children and One Life to Live), the annual award gala was a positive one across the board.

Notably, despite a ratings dip and rumors of Ann Curry’s firing, NBC’s Today Show nabbed the award for Outstanding Morning Show program just the

Lady Gaga Named AP Entertainer of the Year

The Associated Press named the Mother Monster herself, Lady Gaga, the Entertainer of the Year Monday. Not a choice you’re going to find THG arguing with.

Edging the late Apple founder Steve Jobs by just three votes, the 25-year-old Gaga won the annual honor, voted on by 135 AP editors and broadcasters.

The award is based on who had the most influence on entertainment and culture in 2011, and from that standpoint, Jobs and Lady Gaga were neck and neck.

The singer has touched on a number of facets in the past year, from a hit album in Born This Way to a record 17 million Twitter followers

The X Factor Results: Who Moved On?

Following one of the most surprising, emotional results of the season (we miss you, Rachel!), The X Factor pretty much stuck to the script on this week’s results show.
