Guess Who Selena Gomez's New Song "The Heart Wants What It Wants" Is About? 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  SELENA GOMEZ released a new song called "The Heart Wants What It Wants", and it's about JUSTIN BIEBER.  She says Justin thinks it's beautiful.  And as for their relationship, she says, quote, "I support him . . . I don't want anything to ever happen to him bad.  It hurts me."

 

 

FULL STORY:  SELENA GOMEZ released a new song called "The Heart Wants What It Wants" yesterday.  And guess who it's about?  JUSTIN BIEBER, obviously.

 

 

The video's in black and white, and starts with an emotional recording of Selena talking about him.  Quote, "I know his heart and I know what he wouldn't do to hurt me . . . and then [to have] it just be completely shattered by one thing, by something so stupid."

 

 

"But then you make ME feel crazy, you make me feel like it's MY fault.  I was in pain."  And the song includes the lyrics, "There's a million reasons why I should give you up / But the heart wants what it wants."  (Check out the video here.)

Keira Knightley Posed Topless Only on the Condition That They Wouldn't Make Her Boobs Bigger 

 

 

Over the summer, KEIRA KNIGHTLEY posed TOPLESS for "Interview" magazine.  But she says she did it on one condition:  That the editors wouldn't do anything to increase the size of her rather small-ish chest ornaments.

 

 

She says, quote, "I've had my body manipulated so many times for so many different reasons . . . it does feel important to say, It really doesn't matter what shape you are."

 

 

She adds, quote, "I think women's bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame."

 

 

(Check out the original photo here.  WARNING!!!  You will see those small-ish chest ornaments in all their miniscule yet DELIGHTFUL glory.)

 

 

(I've said it many times before, but it's a lesson worth repeating:  Ladies, looks simply do not matter.  It's what's inside you that counts.  Especially when what's inside you is . . . ME!!!)

Hollywood "Sharks" Are Counting Down the Days Until Michael Jackson's Son Prince Turns 18, Hoping for a Piece of His Fortune 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  MICHAEL JACKSON'S oldest son Prince will turn 18 in February, and a bunch of Hollywood players are reportedly circling him like "sharks," trying to get a piece of his inheritance, by offering to advise and manage his career.

 

 

FULL STORY:  You know how young guys and creepy older men count down the days until female celebrities turn 18 . . . like the OLSEN TWINS . . . because that's when they're considered "legal"?

 

 

Well, there's a similar countdown for MICHAEL JACKSON'S oldest son Prince . . . but this time the motive isn't sexual perversion.  It's FINANCIAL perversion.

 

 

Radar Online reports that wannabe Hollywood players are already making a "mad dash" to align themselves with Prince . . . so that they can CASH IN when he starts picking up his inheritance checks.

 

 

We're talking about agents, managers, lawyers, publicists, and other advisors.

 

 

This Hollywood sharknado will be in full force when Prince celebrates his 18th birthday in February, which, ominously, happens to fall on FRIDAY THE 13TH.

 

 

That said, only a portion of his inheritance will kick in right away.  The other installments will come when he turns 21, 30, 35 and 40.  The total amount of his windfall is unclear . . . but it's going to be many millions of dollars.

Kim Richards' Pit Bull Attacked One of Kyle Richards' Daughters 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  A pit bull belonging to KIM RICHARDS from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" bit her 18-year-old niece Alexia several times, forcing her to get two surgeries on her hand.  Alexia is the daughter of Kim's sister and co-star, KYLE RICHARDS.  Kim says she's trying to figure out what to do with the dog.

 

 

FULL STORY:  A pit bull belonging to KIM RICHARDS from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" bit Kim's 18-year-old niece Alexia several times.

 

 

Alexia is the daughter of Kim's sister and co-star KYLE RICHARDS.  Kim says she keeps Kingsley in her bedroom when she has company, and Alexia went into her bedroom when she knew she shouldn't have.

 

 

According to TMZ, Alexia suffered several bites, including one that went right down to the bone of her thumb, requiring two surgeries.  (Kyle posted some pictures from Alexia's hospital room.)

 

 

Kim says she's trying to figure out "what the next step is for Kingsley," adding, quote, "This is a very difficult decision and time for all of us, but the safety of my family always comes first."

 

 

TMZ claims Kingsley has bitten at least three other people, including a trainer who appeared on "Real Housewives".  That trainer says that Kinglsey should be taken away from Kim.

 

 

(Here's video of him giving his opinion.  And here's video of the guy on "Real Housewives".  WARNING!!!  This clip has a bleeped S-word.)

It's Official:  "Toy Story 4" Is on the Way 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  After years of speculation, Disney announced that there will be a fourth "Toy Story" movie . . . and it even has a release date:  June 16th of 2017.  There's no word on a plot for the new one.

 

 

FULL STORY:  After years of speculation, Disney announced that there will be a fourth "Toy Story" movie . . . and it even has a release date.

 

 

Unfortunately, it's WAY into the future.  In fact, you still have time to get married, and CONCEIVE A CHILD to later take to the theater with you to see the movie.  You just have to get that done by June 16th of 2017.

 

 

When it finally premieres, it will have been SEVEN years since "Toy Story 3" . . . and, as hard as it is to believe, 22 years since the original movie came out.

 

 

There's no word on a plot for the new one.  As you may recall, at the end of the third movie, Andy went away to college and gave the toys away to a little girl.

 

 

The director says, quote, "'Toy Story 3' ended so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another 'Toy Story' movie.  But when [we] came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it . . .

 

 

"I knew we had to make this movie."

"Star Wars:  Episode 7" Will Be Called "The Force Awakens" 

 

 

The full title for the new "Star Wars" movie was announced yesterday:  "Star Wars:  Episode 7 - The Force Awakens".    Don't laugh, but this was a HUGE deal for some people.

 

 

Disney also announced that principal photography has been completed.  The movie is scheduled to hit theaters next December.

 

 

Not surprisingly, a lot of people are COMPLAINING about the new title.  But our favorite guy on the Internet yesterday was the dude who Tweeted this . . . "People are upset about a newly announced Star Wars title?  Wow, that never happens!"

Wahlberg will play Steve Austin, an astronaut who's almost killed in the crash of an experimental plane, but is rebuilt with BIONIC replacement parts that give him super speed, strength, and sight.

 

 

The original TV series starred LEE MAJORS, and it was AWESOME.  And for the record, wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's real name is Steve ANDERSON.

Jay Leno Will Be Craig Ferguson's Final Guest on "The Late Late Show"  

 

 

CBS has revealed the guests who will be visiting CRAIG FERGUSON next month, during the final three weeks of his run on "The Late Late Show".

 

 

Interestingly, his FINAL guest on Friday, December 19th will be JAY LENO.  The Friday before that will feature DREW CAREY, who worked with Craig on "The Drew Carey Show" back in the '90s.

 

 

Other guests on his last week include:  Jon Hamm, Larry King, Betty White, Jim Parsons, Tim Meadows, and former "Reno 911!" star Thomas Lennon.

 

 

Those are some of Ferguson's most frequent guests.  Tim Meadows holds the record with 41 appearances on Craig's show.  Thomas Lennon is next with 30, and Betty White has done his show 23 times.  (Check out the full list, here.)

 

 

(By the way, there's been speculation that Leno could also be David Letterman's final guest when he ends his run sometime next year . . . despite their intense rivalry in the past.)

 

 

(Leno has only appeared on Letterman's show once . . . back in 2000 . . . but things between them have cooled.  Letterman gave Leno a nice send-off when he announced he was leaving "The Tonight Show".  The second time.)

 

 

In the meantime, Leno returns as a guest on "The Tonight Show" TONIGHT.

 

 

Related Comedy:  Jay Leno visits "The Tonight Show" tonight.  I predict a hilarious moment when Jimmy lets Jay sit in his chair.  That quickly grows awkward when Jay refuses to return it.

Whitney Houston Wanted Destiny's Child to Stay Together 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  MICHELLE WILLIAMS says the first time she and the rest of DESTINY'S CHILD met WHITNEY HOUSTON, Whitney told them she was a huge fan . . . and started singing "Say My Name".  She also said she hoped they stayed together.  They didn't, much to the chagrin of Whitney . . . and Michelle.

 

 

FULL STORY:  MICHELLE WILLIAMS isn't really a household name . . . but she would've been if DESTINY'S CHILD stayed together.  And apparently, that's exactly how WHITNEY HOUSTON would've wanted it.

 

 

In a new interview, Michelle talks about the first time Destiny's Child met Whitney.  They were in a hotel lobby and Whitney came over and started singing "Say My Name".

 

 

Michelle says, quote, "We couldn't believe that she was singing 'Say My Name' . . . and then she was encouraging us.  She said, 'Y'all stay together, stick together, love each other.'"

 

 

(Of course, Whitney FAILED at keeping Destiny's Child together, which isn't surprising since she couldn't even keep HERSELF together.)

 

 

(In any event, that's unfortunate.  For Michelle.  The rest of the world is perfectly happy enjoying a robust BEYONCÉ solo career.)

The Murder-For-Hire Charges Were Dropped Against AC/DC's Drummer . . . Whose Problems Apparently Stem From Hookers 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:  The murder-for-hire charges against AC/DC drummer PHIL RUDD were dropped due to "insufficient evidence."  He's still charged with "threatening to kill" and drug possession.  Meanwhile, it sounds like Rudd's problems stem from his love of PROSTITUTES.

 

 

FULL STORY:  The wild murder-for-hire charges against AC/DC drummer PHIL RUDD have already been dropped . . . due to "insufficient evidence."  But he's still facing charges for "threatening to kill" and possession of meth and marijuana.

 

 

Still, even though he's 60 years old, Rudd is getting more interesting by the DAY.  Because now we're hearing he's quite a PLAYBOY.

 

 

A "source" tells the "Sydney Morning Herald" that Rudd had been receiving threats recently . . . due to the type of female company he's been enjoying.

 

 

He says, quote, "The girls that he gets, working girls and that, their partners get pissed off.  He tells them 'Nah, I'm not paying you,' and then the partners come and say they want their money . . .

 

 

"The amount he spends on company is like someone's yearly wage . . . he's the Hugh Hefner of Tauranga."  That's the name of the town in New Zealand where Rudd lives.  Oh, and technically, Hefner isn't in the business of HOOKERS.

 

 

Meanwhile, AC/DC posted this statement on Facebook:  Quote, "We've only become aware of Phil's arrest as the news was breaking.  We have no further comment.  Phil's absence will not affect our new album and upcoming tour."

A lot of the songs have been kicking around online, but there are some that we haven't come across.  (Here's the link to the album on iTunes.  Hey, you never know . . . this tactic worked out pretty well for BEYONCÉ.)

 

 

 

2.  First T-PAIN proved that he can SING without Auto-Tune.  And now he's showcasing his RAP skills on "Stoicville" . . . the lead track from his upcoming album.  It's pretty impressive . . . it's almost six straight minutes of rapping.

 

 

(You can check it out, here.  WARNING:  It's UNCENSORED.)

 

 

 

3.  A$AP ROCKY has compared his struggle to dress fashionably to the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.  He says, quote, "I can say that I've been scrutinized for my fashion since I was about 15 years old.  A lot of people got it easy.

 

 

"I feel like I had to go through the whole Civil Rights Movement just to be comfortable, to make other people comfortable, to be able to wear what they want to wear, and a lot of dudes are just claiming to have it without having to have that sacrifice or suffering through all that kind of [crap]."

They only induct a few toys every year after a rigorous voting process.  This year, three toys made it and nine other nominees were REJECTED.

 

 

The three inductees this year are:  The Rubik's Cube . . . little green army men . . . and bubbles.

 

 

The nine toys that got rejected are:  Fisher-Price Little People . . . American Girl dolls . . . My Little Pony . . . pots and pans . . . Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . . . Slip 'n Slide . . . Operation . . . paper airplanes . . . and Hess gas station toy trucks.

 

 

The toys are voted on by a panel of 24 experts, including collectors, designers, and psychologists.  The main criteria is that the toy has been popular across different generations, that it inspires creativity, and that it changed how kids play.

 

 

The National Toy Hall of Fame is inside the Strong Museum in Rochester, New York.  The two toys inducted last year were the rubber duck and chess.  (Yahoo News / Toy Hall of Fame)

Ten Chores Men Mess Up on Purpose . . . and Ten Ways They Do It  (continued)

 

 

And here are the top ten tricks men use to get OUT of doing chores.  Some of them are things they might not do intentionally . . . they just suck at cleaning.

 

 

1.  Squirting toilet cleaner in the bowl, but not scrubbing it.

 

2.  Rinsing the tub instead of cleaning it.

 

3.  Leaving streak marks in the shower.

 

4.  Leaving streak marks on windows and mirrors.

 

5.  Spraying cleaner in the sink, but not actually scrubbing it.

 

6.  Dusting around things instead of moving them.

 

7.  Wiping crumbs onto the floor instead of into their hand or a trashcan.

 

8.  Crushing the trash down so it'll fit more, instead of just taking it out.

 

9.  Washing dishes and leaving pieces of food on them.

 

10.  Throwing a comforter on the bed, but not actually MAKING the bed.

 

 

By the way, all this apparently WORKS about a quarter of the time.  25% of guys said they're never asked to do chores, because they're so bad at them.  But 29% said they've been CALLED OUT for intentionally doing a bad job cleaning.

 

 

10% DEFENDED their terrible cleaning skills by saying they don't worry about doing a good job, because they know their wife or girlfriend will just do it over anyway.

 

 

And men spend about an hour less on chores than women each week.  Guys spend 2 hours and 31 minutes, women spend 3 hours and 37 minutes.  (Daily Mail)

45-year-old Stephen Ramsey of Naples, Florida was clearly HAMMERED earlier this week, called 911, and got a female dispatcher named Sandy.  And through his drunken haze, he focused on one main mission:  Get a date with Sandy.

 

 

Even though his speech was VERY slurred and he was just saying gibberish, Steve wound up calling 911 three times to ask Sandy out . . . or at least to bring him more alcohol.

 

 

And she was probably TOO patient with him . . . because they wound up spending a total of more than seven minutes on the phone.

 

 

After his third call, the cops went out to find him and arrested him for misuse of 911.

They didn't even go inside.  They went through the drive-thru, and he bought her a milkshake.  Which he paid for with a $5 bill.  Then he put two dollars in change in his wallet, set it on the center console, and thought everything was going great.

 

 

But while they were waiting for the shake, Heather GRABBED the wallet . . . jumped out of the car . . . and ran off.
