Miley Cyrus: 2009 Worst Celebrity Influence

Hooray for Miley Cyrus! She's got another thorn down her throat after Noah Lindsey appeared in a dominatrix Halloween costume! That's right, Miley Cyrus was crowned as the Worst Celebrity Influence of 2009 on an online poll from AOL. The 16 year old Disney tween queen gained a whopping 42 percent in the poll for AOL's JSYK.com (Just So You Know) website. This site is targeting 9 to 15 year-olds. Miley topped other celebs with "negative vibes" on the youth. Britney Spears is second to Miley, while infamous rapper Kanye West ranked third, respectively. Whoa! These kids really know who they should they look up to, don't they?

Although no reason whatsoever was given why Miley Cyrus ranked the poorest among the other celebrities in question, reports say that the negative vibes might have come from her dating a 20 year old Justin Gaston or her chinky eyed prank that was all well criticized by the public. JSYK.com editor Stephanie Cohen belives that "Miley is in an interesting space where she is trying to graduate from being 'Hannah Montana' and a Disney channel celebrity and coming into her own and having a career beyond Disney". Maybe it's about time to clean up your act, Miley. Or else, someone's literally gonna snatch up your fame like Taylor Swift or Katy Perry.

Leona Lewis Had Hots for Justin Timberlake

After being punched on the face, Leona Lewis is now talking about the lighter side of things. And in fact, she mentions that she had a big crush on Justin Timberlake before he met him. Sadly, Leona's hots for Justin faded away Leona when they worked together on a new song 'Don't Let Me Down', which is featured on her upcoming album 'Echo'.

According to Leona herself, "I had a big thing for Justin before I worked with him, but I lose my crush when I meet people. Which is probably good news for my boyfriend Lou!" Yes, Leona is currently in a serious relationship with fiancé Lou Al-Chamaa. Because of the stern commitment to her boyfriend, the 24 year old British singer even turned down her chance to kiss Gossip Girl hunk Chace Crawford! Leona mentioned in Sugar magazine that: "They wanted me and Chace to kiss in the 'I Will Be' video. But I said no way. I'd just have been too embarrassed, he's my friend! He's so beautiful, I mean, look at him - he could be a girl. He'd be a really pretty girl. But I just don't think of him like that. And it wouldn't be fair to Lou to kiss other guys."

Maria Sharapova goes down to seventeen year old American Melanie Oudin

Seventeen year old American rising tennis sensation, Melanie Oudin, ousted media darling and reigning tennis glamor queen, Maria Sharapova, from the 2009 US Open Tennis Champships. Cheered on by the excited crowd Oudin forced a third set after taking the second set from Sharapova who won the first 6 games to 4.
In her post match interview Sharapova was asked if she agrees with Jelana Jankovic’s assesent that Oudin doesn’t have many weapons and isn’t very impressive though she’s beating top-ranked players. Sharapova called Jankovic’s remarks shocking and said of Oudin’s play:

"I thought she played really well. I thought she has many weapons. You know, she certainly held her ground. I mean, you know, I still feel like I had my chances, even though it wasn’t my best day. You know, when you let those chances go, it’s just frustrating. But, I mean, got to hand it to her. She really stuck to her game plan. She played solid. She made me hit a lot of balls. She moved really well around the court, yeah."

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Breakup Makes it to Frontpage

OK Magazine November 1 issue screams of an exclusive coverage for the Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart split. Okay, Twilight fans might get the shock of their lives because the Robsten duo has yet to admit their ongoing romance and now it appears they've went straight to Splitsville in a jiffy. We reported that Robert and Kristen are already living under one roof in a hotel suite in Vancouver. Now, it appears that days after that a fight between the couple ensued that left Kristen looking "outraged", while RPattz scurried away after he hailed a taxi and left her screaming after him. Major lover's drama in Vancouver, huh!

The OK Magazine reported that the root of he lover's quarrel is that Robert Pattinson is egging Kristen that they settle down, yet K-Stew is insisting that she's unprepared for wifey roles in real life so she declined his wedding proposal. Ouch! Another cause they figured was Kristen was jealousy of Rob's female fans, one source notes: "She is very annoyed by women cooing over Rob and is threatened by fans who send him love notes". Another source of disagreement might be Kristen wants to return to LA when they're done shooting Eclipse, while Rob wants them to live in London! So what about all that hang-ups? Oh well, they always say, you can't have it all - everyone's got to learn how to compromise!

Taylor Swift & Taylor Lautner Hockey Date

Is there romance brewing between the two Taylors? Popular teen country singer Taylor Swift and Twilight hottie Taylor Lautner are seen again together attending a hockey game while the Los Angeles Kings battles it out with the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The female Taylor, who's 19 years old, is seen as blooming as ever as she sat beside her leather jacket clad hunky date who's just 17 years old. Taylor Lautner has been seen many times attending the country singer's concert tours.

After the game, the couple was seen walking in the area of Beverly Wilshire hotel. Reporters have been egging the female Taylor because she's shamelessly calling her friend "Taytay". When asked about him, she gushed: "I love him. He's so cute!" Taylor Lautner, on the other hand, declared that the country singer was his crush and definitely his "type". Taylor Swift still denies she has a "guy" in her life right now. Isn't it just weird if your boyfriend and you has the same first names?

Keira Knightley is 'My Fair Lady' Eliza Doolittle

Yes, definitely Keira Knightley is a fair lady. And it's confirmed that she'll be starring in a remake of the movie of 1964 classic My Fair Lady. The 24-year-old British actress is too much excited that she got the part of Eliza Doolittle in the iconic rags-to-riches story originally directed by George Cukor. Keira said she's honored to follow the footsteps of the legendary actresses like Audrey Hepburn and Julie Andrews who were the previous stars who gave life to Eliza Doolittle in film and on stage.

Not only that this project will be special because of Keira, Academy Award winner Emma Thompson is also being tapped as the screenwriter, while James Bond actor Daniel Craig will play as her love interest Higgins. Danny Boyle, who is fresh from his Slumdog Millionaire Oscar win, will be the one to direct. Every aspiring actress might be drooling at Keira Knightley now for snatching this golden opportunity! Right now, Keira is concentrating to hone her singing prowess that is being demanded by this role. Good luck and we'd love to see you sing!

Robert Pattinson Acting James Dean Style?

We now totally get it why you're acting like the mysterious guy-next-door. Robert Pattinson recently revealed that he is inspired by the Hollywood icon James Dean. That was the hint he's trying to emulate while portraying Edward Cullen in the Twilight film franchise. No wonder, the 23 year old actor owes his success to the Rebel Without a Cause star: "I tried copying James Dean's accent just because I've always wanted James Dean's voice. I think that is why it has worked. Everyone loves a bit of James Dean."

In fact, Robert Pattinson revealed that Edward was influenced by the Hollywood legend all through out - like the hair and stuff. RPattz also noted that an intense similarity of Edward Cullen's character arc to what happened to James Dean: "An everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump." We just hope you just try to copy James Dean acting-wise - minus the dying part when he was 24 years old because of a vehicular mishap. Until now, Robert Pattinson is still uncomfy about the upsurge of female fans rooting for him: "I'm not entirely sure what it is. I'll probably realize afterwards how I could have controlled it a little bit more. But I am still like a deer in headlights at the moment."

Miley Cyrus Sister Halloween Costume Outrage

Noah Lindsey Cyrus may be just another child who's wearing her Halloween costume for the 16th Annual Dream Halloween party in Los Angeles. Yet, this 9 year old Miley Cyrus sister got the ire of critics because of the choice of costume she chose to wear – a sexy leather overalls, a whip and a cherry red lipstick. Many of them thought that her outfit as "trashy" and looking like a Lolita, a young temptress.

Why should a father like Billy Ray Cyrus allow Noah Cyrus wear a dominatrix costume for a Halloween party? Maybe his parental instincts might have just gone awry. Just imagine what type of outfits might she be wearing ten years later. The Cyruses never fails to amaze everyone with their chutzpah. To think that the event is a Halloween party that serves as a fundraiser organized by the US Children Affected by Aids Foundation.

David Beckham and His Thigh Injury

Football fans were generally surprised at what David Beckham got sticking out of his shorts. This got his football wife Victoria Beckham look worried at what might be David's problem. In her thoughts, Posh Spice might be thinking: " Are we still gonna have children?"

For those without prurient thoughts, David Beckham has injured his thighs in his efforts to let LA Galaxy win their game against San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday (October 24). After that, David limply came back with an ice pack tapered under his shorts to relieve the pain and further injury. (Source: The Sun)

Hilary Swank Sweats It Out As Amelia Earheart

It's not a walk in the park to portray the first female pilot Amelia Earheart, according to Hilary Swank. In her new movie Amelia, Hilary got drenched in sweat as she took her first flight lesson to prepare for her role. Hilary said:"I'm not big on sweating, but I found that after two hours of a flight lesson, I would land and my back was drenched. It wasn't from fear, but from concentration."

Too full on concentration that Hilary Swank almost got a real pilot's license because of the training alone! Yet, the film outfit that produced the film won't cover insurance for it, so the license was declined. Nonetheless, Hilary felt privileged to play Amelia, who went missing in 1937 after a flight. The Oscar-winning actress also told Chicago Sun-Times that:

Her life was certainly short. But she accomplished so much in that lifetime. She was also a reminder to me that you constantly have to look within. You have to also live for yourself and not other people. I want to look at my life and know I'm not missing anything.

I believe that you can live your life the way you want, find love and experience your dreams. You can have it all. For a short time, Amelia had it all.

Sharapova getting back to her best

TOKYO — Maria Sharapova says she is getting back to her best and enjoying herself after a long injury lay-off that forced her out of top 10 for the first time since July 2004.

"As far as being back onto the court and playing tennis and hitting a tennis ball with a tennis racket, I say, I went out of the tunnel," said Sharapova after regaining the Pan Pacific Open title on Saturday that she last won in 2005.

"Because that was taken away from me for a long period of time. It's a big part of your life and it was taken away.

"It's a strange feeling, but you've got to do everything you can to get out of the situation, to be back in life, enjoy what you love. I'm back on the court, I'm playing again, I'm competing," said the Russian.

In October last year, Sharapova had an operation on her right shoulder and then pulled out of the Australian Open in January with the same injury. She only returned to action in May.

On Saturday in the final against Jelena Jankovic of Serbia, Sharapova found herself 0-40 down in the opening game, which she lost two points later, hitting a backhanded drop shot wide.

She then went 0-2 down before moving into top gear, hitting an array of power-packed strokes and aggressive service returns to take the following four games in a row.

Jankovic, who needed court-side treatment to her right arm in the semi-finals on Friday, took a medical time-out for the same injury at the beginning of the eighth game.

But Jankovic abandoned the match when she went down love-30.

It was Sharapova's fourth title in Tokyo out of her 20 singles titles worldwide. Tokyo is the place where she captured her first WTA singles and doubles titles at the 2003 Japan Open on the same centre court here.

"I just have really good memories from playing on this court. It was a different tournament, but the same arena. It's very exciting. This is a place very close to my heart and I always want to come back," said Sharapova.

The 22-year-old Russian, the winner of the 2004 Wimbledon, the 2006 US Open and the 2008 Australian Open, is already looking forward to the next season in which she believes she can do better than before.

"I have one more tournament left in Beijing. During the off-season, I'll be training and working on my game. It's going to be really a good time for me to create a good base," said Sharapova.

"Actually I have a good enough time to prepare for the next year. I'm really looking forward to the period.

"Certainly I worked hard to play tennis. That's what I tried, because I know I can be better, making it better than I've done before. And the fact that I'm back and that I'm hungry, that's something I proved," she added.

OUTI IS ONE 2 WATCH

It doesn't seem possible that just a couple of months ago 16 year old Outi Ranua was finishing school in a village in Finland, but after we snapped her up in that scout's paradise of Topshop Oxford Circus, this glacial new face hasn't looked back. See her now at The Ones to Watch where she features in Nadya Wasylko's story - It's Not What She Said... it's How She Said It.

Guy Ritchie Shaved Head: Going Bald After Divorce?

British film director Guy Ritchie was sighted yesterday meeting up with ex-wife Madonna at London's Kabbalah Center. Wearing just a gray sweater, what's most intriguing is the newly-shaved bad head as he meet up with his former family in the religious building. Also present in the affair are the children: 12 year old Lourdes and David, whom he adopted with the pop queen.

What is also quizzical is that Guy Ritchie attended the Kabbalah meeting when in fact he declared before that: "I don't really understand Kabbalah as a religion. I don't think it's a religion as far as I'm aware." Oh well, we hope you guys had a lot of fun meeting up as a family again. And to Guy Ritchie, may you take good care of yourself - you got a lot of $$$ from the divorce and you may as well use it to de-stress! (Source: The Sun)

Mayumi Heene Nationality: The Real Deal Answer

Everyone's asking about Mayumi Heene's nationality. If you don't know her, Mayumi is the balloon boy mom who now admitted that she is accomplice to the hoax that she and her husband Richard Heen cooked up in order to get world attention. Yep, they entirely machinated the whole imbroglio that their son Falcon was in trapped in that balloon in order for their family to be marketable to the media. Maybe, they wanted to appear on TV again as they did in Wife Swap -- now they are facing federal charges instead!

Anyway, back to Mayumi Heene nationality issue, some think that Mayumi Heene is Filipino. Nope, Mayumi isn't Filipino but she is Japanese. Mayumi Heene's maiden name is Mayumi Iizuka (飯塚真由美) and she was born in Japan. Richard Heene met her in Kobe when he worked there years ago. So there you have it, Mayumi Heene is of Japanese descent.

Jennifer Aniston: Botox-Scared?

Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston is simply not made out major beauty surgeries. As far from what she had seen from other women, Jennifer reveals that Botox makes women look "harder" making them unable to express emotions. Admittedly, the 40 year old actress have had skin-smoothing injections before. However, she wasn't at all satisfied with the results: "You see women and you know they're not young but you can't tell how old they are. It makes them look harder. The warmth in their face goes away. It is not a good look."

This is why this ex-wife of Brad Pitt has opted for healthier beauty regimens like maintaining good diet and regular exercise in order for her to keep up with "competition". Let's face it, it's extremely important to look good if actresses want to have a successful career on TV and movies. Jennifer Aniston explained: "I'm a realist. If I eat burgers and fries everyday I won't get the parts I'm offered. I'd become a character actress, that might be fine one day bit not right now."  (Photo Credit:

Maria Sharapova shines at Pan Pacific Open

Maria Sharapova overwhelmed Samantha Stosur of Australia in a swift 6-0, 6-1 victory on Tuesday at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
The former world No 1 fired seven aces and hit a first-serve percentage of 71, in addition to a barrage of sizzling shots that ended the match in 57 minutes at the Ariake Colosseum.

However, Sharapova admits she may no longer be feared.

The Russian said she was grateful for her "second career" after a nightmare injury lay-off and insisted she had the tools to return to the top of the women's game.

"In some way I wish I could say I was vacationing for 10 months and then all of a sudden I kind of wanted to play again," Sharapova said.

"But every single day I was trying to find a way to get back out there. It's hard when something is taken away from you. For me it was about three or four months where I really didn't pick up a racket.

"That was the first time in my life I've had to do that since I started playing tennis. It was really strange waking up and knowing you're not going to go out on the court."

Sharapova has climbed to 25th in the world since returning to action in May after shoulder surgery.

The three-times grand slam singles champion said she had reached a different stage in her career.

"It's obviously like a second career in a way when you're almost out of the rankings and you're working your way up and you're not feared anymore," she said.

Sharapova's victory over Stosur propelled the former Tokyo champion into the last 16.

Yet to add to her 19 career singles titles since her return, Sharapova insisted she would be a major force again.

"Grand slams are still the focus," the 22 year-old said. "I know if I do well and perform at a certain level which I know I can then those goals will be met."

Mayumi Heene Squeals - Balloon Boy Mom Admits Hoax

Now it is all clear! The balloon boy saga is entirely a hoax that was fabricated by the Heene couple. Mayumi Heene already submitted her affidavit that states that "knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence". Balloon boy mom cannot take lying any longer because it really feels awful to tell your children to lie in front of all people regarding the plan they hatched up 2 weeks earlier as they wanted to be "more marketable" to the media.

Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden strongly insisted that the Heenes must face legal consequences for their conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency their children, making a false report to authorities, and attempting to influence a public servant. These charges are may carry a maximum sentence of six years in lawful custody. See the Reuters report.

X-Factor Wants Lady Gaga as Mentor

After Whitney Houston last week, the hit UK reality show X-Factor wants Lady Gaga next. True enough, X-Factor bigwigs are groveling on their knees to get the Poker Face singer on the show despite her bashing of reality shows to be giving contestants "false understanding" of success.

Lady Gaga was once quoted that:

If you win a TV show and you have a hit record, you sort of have a false understanding of what it means to earn success.

The shows are set up for a winner, for someone to win. Whereas with someone like me, who writes my own songs, you have to set yourself up to win.

However, X-Factor executives are unfazed about those comments because they are bound to make the celebrity guest list this year as their strongest ever. They already guested Robbie Williams and Whitney Houston. Bon Jovi is also due to appear in X-Factor too on November 1. Another celebrity up in the guest list is Shakira. Well, then, Lady Gaga should clear up her schedule because UK fans will be surely pining for her eccentric dance moves on their favorite TV show.

ELITE MODEL LOOK - THE WINNERS

17 year old Julia celebrates her win

We've already been shouting about the brilliant Emily Smith's podium placing at the Elite Model Look World Final in Sanya at the weekend, but we met so many great Elite girls of the future at the event that we couldn't wait to start sharing some of them too...

L-R: Manon, Caterina, Emily & Julia

We loved all 4 of the winners - 1st place went to classically elegant Julia Saner from Switzerland, 2nd to the elfin Caterina Ravaglia from Italy, and 3rd jointly between our Emily and the amazonian Manon Pieto from France, all perfect examples of the kind of girls we expect from Elite Model Look. Our team also liked the Serbian contestant Simona, Spanish girl Gracia, and Sarah J from the US.

To quote: "He's very qualified for the job, and has already helped explain the current situation re: Pakistani procurements to key NGOs, including a meeting he organized today with InterAction and its affiliated NGOs”.
