Justin Timberlake says he looked like a moron when he was in 'N Sync. "There were many moments in my teenage years where I succumbed to, um, the weirdness of the group I was in. And in trying to conform - we're marionettes - I ended up looking like a moron." Justin was refering to his curls, cornrows and dyed hair.
JLo wants to marry Casper Smart. A source says, “She’s telling friends she wants to marry Casper. She’s certain she wants to be with Casper forever. He provides what she hasn’t had in years. He’s very supportive and devoted. He exists only for her. Marc controlled her, and now she’s in control.”
Filming 'What to Expect When You’re Expecting' made JLo think about adopting. She says, ''Before this movie, it wasn’t something that had occurred to me. But after this movie, yes, I could see myself definitely doing it and being open to it for sure. You know what I mean? Whereas, before I never thought about it really. It was funny, the adoption thing. 'But when you hold that baby, you can really see how easy it is to just love another child that is not yours. Really, such a simple thing.''
Amanda Bynes was involved in another car accident over the weekend. She sideswiped a car in her Range Rover before taking off. Cops used a police helicopter to track her down. Amanda told officers she had no idea she hit the other car. Perez Hilton claims she was super cooperative and exchanged info with the other driver. Amanda was not ticketed.
The Sun Times claims Lady GaGa and Taylor Kinney split because he was super-cool to her. A source says, “But after a while, I think she wanted a little more from him — a bit more adoration, if you follow me.”
Lady GaGa says she doesn't believe in divorce. "My grandmother... was married to my grandfather for 60 years. My parents are still together 30 years. Divorce is not an option for me. It's like, 'I'm gonna get married and that's it. He's stuck with me.' I want to eventually find a man that feels the same way - about divorce not being an option. Working through everything together, even if it's the hardest thing you've ever been through, you just stick it out."
Lady GaGa likes it when a man takes control in the bedroom. She says, ''In the bedroom now, I really like being told what to do. 'Everybody thinks I'm this sexually-charged pop music maniac - which I am - but I don't think I enjoyed sex until I was much older. I'm still working on finding love. I know that feeling -- that feeling of the impossible. But the only thing I don't have that feeling about is my work. It's not dependent on someone else. At the same time, it is an amazing feeling that you can love somebody and that you can share your life
Justin Bieber carried Floyd Mayweather Jr 's championship belts to the ring before his fight with Miguel Cotto on Saturday.
Liv Tyler says she and her father, Steven, share fashion and beauty tips. "We're always comparing face creams and masks - he has cupboards full of them. We have really different hairstyles. He has a lot of things sewn into his hair, little jewels and stuff, and he likes to bend his head forward and blow it with two blow-dryers to get lots of volume in the roots, while I like to wear mine straight and flat."
'I'll Have Another' wins the 138th Kentucky Derby. It was a close call at the end.
