5 hours ago
Kristen Wiig got a musical sendoff on the season finale of Saturday Night Live.
The popular cast member is leaving the show after seven years, and in her final skit, guest host Mick Jagger played the principal at a high school graduation and brought up Wiig, in cap and gown, as “one particular student who is leaving this summer.”
The symbolism? Not subtle. The emotions? Running high.

Did President Obama Lie About Being Born in Kenya?
10 hours ago
A year after he put “birther” rumors to rest by releasing his birth certificate, President Obama’s background is back in the news again … with a twist.
An old bio of Obama from his former literary agent says he was born in Kenya, renewing debate over the authenticity of his own account(s) of his past.
You could essentially call this “reverse birtherism.”
In 2011, Obama proved born in the U.S., but did he lie in the past about being Kenyan-born to craft a more exotic, interesting-sounding background?
According to a booklet produced by Acton & Dystel, to showcase its roster of writers,

Phillip Phillips vs. Jessica Sanchez: Who Will Win?
2 days ago
We’re down to two on American Idol. The final two. Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez.
One is a young white male who is easy on the eyes and plays the guitar. In other words: the same exact pedigree as the last four winners.
The other has a beautiful voice and hasn’t been afraid all year long of tacking such major artists as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. She’s responsible for the single most memorable American Idol performance of the season.
Either would be a worthy champion. Only one will wear the crown next Thursday night.

Kourtney Kardashian: Pregnant! And Betrayed! Twice!

Well, at least she’s no longer pregnant and abandoned.
However, according to a pair of tabloid cover stories this week, Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant… and betrayed! It’s a darn shame, isn’t it?
Naturally, Kris Jenner has already spoken out against rumors that Kourtney kicked out baby daddy Scott Disick and that E! cameras caught the blowup for an upcoming Keeping Up with the Kardashians episode.
“None of it is true,” Kris tells E! News of talk that Disick is actually hiding sex tapes from his girlfriend and skipped out on her baby shower May 12 because the couple was fighting.

Amber Portwood Released From Jail, Has a Lot on Plate
3 days ago
Amber Portwood has been released from jail. She got sprung yesterday.
The troubled Teen Mom star was placed back behind bars last week after violating the terms of her probation by failing to appear in an Indiana court.
The 22-year-old allegedly lied about a medical condition to get out of a drug test. Her probation officer called the bluff, asking her doctor directly.
Some very sleepy-eyed Amber Portwood mug shots soon followed.
How’s the reality star feeling now that she’s back on the other side?
“OK,” Amber told E! News. “Just hustling. I’ve got a lot on my plate.”
Naturally.

Phillip Phillips: Urged to Seek Medical Help
3 days ago
Might the success of Phillip Phillips on American Idol be jeopardizing his health? Without a doubt, YES, according to the singer’s doctors.
TMZ reports that the finalist’s physicians are adamant: Phillips needs surgery to repair a kidney issue as soon as possible. His family doctor even spent the entire day last Saturday – during Phillip’s Idol-sponsored trip home to Georgia – by the contestant’s side.
But Phillips would be sidelines for six weeks if he underwent the recommended procedure, so he is choosing to soldier on through at least next Thursday’s American Idol finale.

Miley Cyrus to Sexist Clothing Critics: Thank You!

Miley Cyrus isn’t one to dress conservatively, and, for that, the singer isn’t about to apologize. Quite the opposite, in fact.
During an interview on Lifetime’s The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet,” when asked about her the reception she’s received in the past for provocative attire, Miley said:
“I take it as a compliment. Thank you for thinking I’m sexy!”
Cyrus adds that she was shocked by the backlash when she started donning skimpier outfits, highlighted by outrage over a Vanity Fair photo shoot in 2008.
“People are so scared of seeing a woman being like, ‘This is who I am and

We love Zooey Deschanel.
Let’s just put that out there right now. She’s a terrific actress whose New Girl quotes amuse us endlessly, an underrated singer and a very cool person.
Her new iPhone ad, though, is ripe for parody. You’ve likely seen it 200 times at this point and wondered why you’d ask Siri any of that stuff.
Well, here’s how Siri wishes she could respond …

I love you guys so much because you have the courage to have a dream.
That’s what Steven Tyler told the remaining three American Idol contestants tonight. Alas, for one of Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet, the dream is now over. So… following a painful Ice Age 3 tie-in and a performance by Adam Lambert, who got voted out of season 11?

Brooke Hogan Signs on for TNA Wrestling

Brooke Hogan may not have an inappropriate relationship with her father, but she is following in the Hulker’s footsteps. His wrestling boot-strapped footsteps, we should say.
Sources confirm to TMZ that the former reality star/failed singer has signed a contract with TNA Wrestling – but she actually won’t enter the squared circle.
Instead, oddly enough, Hogan will work new female wrestlers in the company, helping them develop characters, cut promos and enter with the right music. What qualifies Brooke for this position? Her last name. That’s pretty much it.

Russell Brand and Katy Perry might as well be teaching Celebrity Breakups 101.
Proving that a split doesn’t have to be bitter or contentious just because it’s painful, the comedian opened up to Ellen DeGeneres about his recent divorce and had only positive things to say about former wife Katy Perry.
“I still love her as a human being,” he said. “But, sometimes when you’re in a relationship I suppose it doesn’t work out, does it? You can’t absolutely make everything the way you want it to be in life. But that doesn’t mean I regret it or anything.”
