Redneckognize: Honey Boo Boo has increased her security because of kidnap threats. A source tells the National Enquirer, “June is terrified. With the threats on Alana’s safety increasing, security is being provided for her around the clock. There was a meeting with all the teachers at Alana’s school. They have been instructed to keep an eye on Alana, and they know to report anything suspicious immediately. They’ve thought about moving, but the problem is that TLC has them locked under contract to keep their lifestyle – and that means they have to stay put.''
Kris Jenner wants to manage Honey Boo Boo. A source tells the Star, “Kris realized that they could be a gold mine. The Thompsons don’t really have any professional representation outside of TLC, and Kris thinks she can get them some serious endorsements and more money from the network. They’re getting a fraction of what Kate Gosselin got.”
Chocolate Milk: Cash-strapped farmers are feeding their cows chocolate bars, gummy worms, ice cream sprinkles, marshmallows, hard candy and hot chocolate mix. Candy now makes up 3% of most cows' diets because corn prices are soaring due to this summer's drought. While corn goes for about $315 a ton, ice-cream sprinkles can be had for as little as $160 a ton.
Costume Shop: The 'Tan Mom' costume is a hot Halloween seller. Patricia Krentcil says, “I’m one of this year's most popular Halloween costumes. I can’t understand why anyone is interested in me, but what do I care? If they want to dress up as me they can. I’m flattered. Life is too short, but I’m not 24-years-old anymore, so I need to start taking care of myself. If people want to dress up as me, let them do it. What do I care?”
Hulk Hogan says the sex tape of him and his best friend's wife has left him devastated. A source tells RADAR Online, "Heather has been obsessed with Terry [Hulk Hogan] Bollea forever. She took advantage of her husband's friendship with him and used Bubba to get to Terry. She's a voyeur and her fantasy was to have sex with Terry and then have a tape of her conquest."

Yes, your fiery orange-red sports car says exactly what you think it does: you're sexy, speedy, high-energy, dynamic. Before you preen, go out and look at your red car. Most red cars on the road are more of a kidney bean color. Is yours? If so, it means you are dynamic and energetic but are losing your fire. You really want to be have that orange-red sports car personality, but you just can't quite make it. You're too busy, too old, or too tired. For all the good your red car does you, it might as well be brown.
A silver car generally means that you are cool and elegant. The only problem is that since silver was the most popular car color for several years, almost everyone owns one, like your neighbors who don't mow their lawns and don't put their garbage cans away after the garbage has been picked up. Real cool. Very elegant.
White is supposed to mean you are fastidious, but what it really means is that you wanted that fiery orange-red sports car, but you drive like a bat out of hell or like batman in his batmobile, (depending on your age group) and you were afraid that you'd get too many tickets so you chose the less conspicuous white. Good thinking. On average, while drivers in red cars do not get more tickets than anyone else, orange-red sports car drivers do, and let's face it, they deserve them. Who drives the speed limit in a car like that?
A light blue vehicle means that you're calm and quiet. It could also mean that you went to the showroom to buy a sunshine yellow car to show how joyful and young-at-heart you are, but they only had marine blue, and since you really are a calm, quiet person who doesn't like to make waves, you bought it.
A dark green vehicle means that you are traditional, trusty, and well balanced, but what it really means is that you are thrifty. Who makes dark green cars anymore? If you own one, it's probably been a while since you bought a new vehicle.
A purple vehicle means you are creative, individualistic, original, and perhaps it does. It could also mean you're too old to care what anyone thinks of you.
A black vehicle says you are empowered, not easily manipulated, love elegance, and you appreciate the classics. It's also says that you are mysterious or that you have two sides to your personality; it's the favored car of both clergy and gangsters.
A dark blue vehicle says you are credible, confident, dependable. And you drive too much because you always get stuck with the carpool.
A gray vehicle says you are sober, corporate, practical. And boring. But if that gray car is charcoal with sparkles, you still have flashes of brilliance and charisma.
An orange vehicle says you are fun loving, talkative, fickle, trendy. A yellow-green one says you are trendy, whimsical, lively. And you know it's true. Only fun and whimsical cars come in these colors: Volkswagen bugs and little sportscars.
A tan vehicle means that you're timeless, basic, simple, but it also means you have something to hide. Maybe bad driving habits? Or that you never wash your car?
A gold vehicle says is that you love comfort and will pay for it; it also says that you're intelligent, and you must be - you were smart enough to come read my article!
a brown vehicle supposedly means you're down-to-earth but who are you trying to kid? If you really cared about the earth, you wouldn't have bought that big old gas-guzzler.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are allegedly having trouble in the bedroom. A source tells OK! magazine, “She loves Rob and can’t live without him, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any issues. They were having a major disconnect in the bedroom when she cheated on him and that hasn’t been fixed. If anything, it’s worse, because Rob is still so angry at her. He wants to be with her, but he hasn’t totally forgiven her, which is making it difficult for them to connect.”
Robert Pattinson was recently spotted caressing a blonde at a New York club. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “He had his arm slung around her at one point and they chatted for most of the night. They looked like they were having a great time and the girl was making him laugh a lot. There was about five of them but it looked like Robert only had eyes for the girl. They sat really close to each other on the couch. He looked really happy and relaxed, like he didn’t have a care in the world.”
Ben Affleck and JLo still talk. Affleck tells The Hollywood Reporter, "We don't have the kind of relationship where she relies on me for advice, but we do have the kind of relationship where there'll be an e-mail saying, 'Oh, your movie looks great.' I remember when she got American Idol. I said: 'This was really smart. Good luck.' I touch base. I respect her. I like her. She's put up with some stuff that was unfair in her life, and I'm really pleased to see her successful." |
Lindsay Lohan was spotted at a New York club flirting with ESPN analyst Jesse Palmer. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Lindsay’s table was next to Jesse’s and she kept looking over. Finally she walked over and introduced herself and her younger brother Cody. She couldn’t stop smiling and saying what a big fan her brother was of Cody.”
Jack Osbourne saved a woman on his Hawaiian honeymoon. His wife Tweeted: @lisamarstelly: ''Really proud of Jack and his friend Tyler who saved a woman on the beach yesterday who'd had a heart attack and drown. They resuscitated her. We just found out she's in a stable condition! Awesome!''
Kim Kardashian wants to host The X Factor. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Kim is worried that Khloe is going to become more famous than her because of her X Factor gig. She has been snappy lately and saying things to Khloe like, ‘I should be a co-host with you’, or the other extreme, ‘The X Factor job is going to be totally stressful, are you sure you are up for this type of thing?’ “Khloe wishes Kim would just be happy for her but there has always been some sort of competition between the girls. Kim’s biggest fear is that she will become irrelevant like Paris Hilton!”
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may start a clothing line. A source tells Perez Hilton, "Kanye and Kim have figured out that if they combine their names it could be big business. They’ve both got massive fanbases who will buy their gear. It’s also a sign that they’re in the relationship for the long haul and that they think it’s a romantic way to seal their relationship."
Jennifer Aniston is wearing a $1 million engagement ring. Anthony Sarkissian, of Beverly Hills’ Premier Jewelry Lenders, tells HollywoodLife.com, “If this is a fine quality diamond of at least 10 carats, which it looks to be from initial photos, we could be talking about a million dollar ring here. 10 carat and over diamonds command a premium price in the diamond industry, because they are more rare than smaller diamond. The ring looks to be a Cushion Cut or Oval Shape diamond, mounted in a classic Halo design. It may have Micro-Pave diamonds around the center stone as well. Once again, Jennifer is a trend-setter, going with a yellow gold setting. This is a popular trend in Europe right now, but we are just starting to see it here in the States. We will definitely be seeing a lot more of the yellow-gold style in the engagement rings world, especially with Jennifer setting the trend.”
Everything is going well between Lady GaGa and Taylor Kinney. He says, “I don’t think I’ve ever said anything publicly up till now. But I’m happy. I’m in a relationship and I’m happy. Everything is great.”
Rihanna is wearing a committment ring.
Kelly Clarkson hopes to marry Brandon Blackstock. She says, "We met years ago when I was working with Rascal Flatts, and he used to tour manage with them... I was like, 'Dude, I gotta know that guy'. We were just in a room together, and then he came up and said he was from the same hometown as me and I was like, 'Oh, we're so getting married.' I was so that girl. When he became single, I was on the prowl. It's weird how life kind of puts you in certain situations. We're taking it slow, and we're enjoying each other. I'm from a family of broken marriages, but we will definitely break that trend one day. Once you finally fall in love with someone and you are so comfortable with them, it makes you more comfortable in your skin. It makes you comfortable as an artist and it makes you more confident... I know that doesn't sound like the cool, hardcore, 'I'm Miss Independent' girl, but it's the truth. I'm completely head over heels for him, he knows that."
Justin Bieber's laptop and camera were allegedly stolen while he performed in Tacoma.
He Tweeted:
“yesterday during the show me and my tour manager josh had some stuff stolen. really sucks. people should respect other’s property.”
“sucks when u take personal footage and people don’t respect your privacy.”
“i had a lot of personal footage on that computer and camera and that is what bothers me the most. #lame #norespect''
The Star claims Taylor Swift allegedly cheated on Conor Kennedy with Patrick Schwarzenegger. A source says, Taylor secretly made out with Patrick at a family event she attended with Conor, and the family is up in arms over it, calling her a "hanger-on". Taylor was making out with Patrick all night, The previous day, she was all over Conor, so she hooked up with two cousins on consecutive nights! Taylor and Patrick weren't kissing out in the open, but she wasn't being as subtle as she thought she was. Conor doesn't know, but everyone else in the family does. They think she's a hanger-on and find her obsession with the Kennedy cousins disconcerting. Taylor lost the respect of everyone in the family. They despise her and don't want her anywhere near Conor or Patrick."
Taylor Swift doesn't do booty calls. She tells Rolling Stone, ''No. Where's the romance? Where's the magic in that? I'm just not that girl. I love the ending of a movie where two people end up together. Preferably if there's rain and an airport or running or a confession of love. The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it. ...I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.''
She adds, "I don't drink much alcohol. If it doesn't taste like candy or sparkles, I usually don't drink it. Wine sometimes, because it makes me feel classy, but not Scotch. Not yet."
CSI: NY plans to use Green Day's music on an upcoming episode. The band says, ''¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tre!' will be used on the TV show to narrate some speech-free action sequences. We were stoked when we found out CSI: NY wanted to use our music instead of dialogue to narrate the first few acts of the episode. It’s the first time something like this has been done on the series, and we are blown away with what we’ve seen."
