If you had something to be thankful ful for, it’s word that the Pussycat Dolls probably won’t be getting back together anytime soon. Hey, we always have the Paradiso Girls.
The New York Post’s Page Six says the other girls in the group, whose names are apparently irrelevant, aren’t even on speaking terms with Nicole Scherzinger. So much for Interscope's assertion that the group is “on a break.” Look what that did to Ross and Rachel on Friends.
“It is war. They have broken up for good,” a source tells the Post. “None of the other girls are speaking to Nicole, who they believe took the limelight, then went off to do her own thing.”
Well, when you have a hit album like My Name Is Nicole, that’s how you roll. Wait, what’s that? She barely cracked the charts in the U.S.? Boy, we’re glad things are working out for her.
If you thought Adam Lambert's groin-grabbing, boy-kissing, fellatio-simulating act at the American Music Awards would cause him some problems, you're right. He's already been dropped from a scheduled performance Wednesday morning on ABC's Good Morning America. Who knew he made the network mad?
“Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were
concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning," and ABC spokewoman told the New York Times. Yeah, that kind of thing can only happen if he's performing after 11 p.m.
Don't you worry about Adam, though; He's already been picked up by CBS to do an appearance on The Early Show. They don't think 8 a.m. is too early for slapping dancers on the ass.
We haven't invaded Britney Spears' privacy for quite some time, so why not check in with her with a rumor that she's ready to get married again? That's what OK! is saying, claiming on its latest cover story that she wants to marry boyfriend Jason Trawick. Third time's the charm, right?
“Britney said she does not have a doubt in her mind that she wants
to spend the rest of her life with Jason,” a source tells the mag, saying they are just waiting for the right time. “She has already discussed marriage with him, and they are both excited about a romantic wedding.”
What OK! doesn't know is that the U.K's Daily Telegraph is pretty sure she already proposed while on tour in Australia. They say the 27-year-old dropped to one knee last Friday, but Trawick said no, prompting an unscheduled address to her Sydney audience about the fickle nature of love.
"She is in love with the idea of marriage," a source said. "She has been married only twice, but has proposed to many more."
Never mind the fact that they also say she's been dating Trawick for three years, which is unlikely, given that the rumors they were dating didn't even start until the Circus Tour. She was dating that one guy Adnan Ghalib until early 2008. He as 37, too, just like Trawick; That must be a magic number for her. Where were we going with this? Oh yeah, the media lies to you.
As you could see, The Juice* pretty much ignored the American Music Awards Sunday night, since it's historically been the Grammys Lite of the entertainment world, but we still saw Adam Lambert's raucous performance to close the show. And according to the ratings, so did 14.2 million others. Just don't ask him to apologize for it.
The 27-year-old's rendition of his For Your Entertainment featured Adam grinding a male dancer's head into his crotch to simulate oral sex, a lot of groin-grabbing and a moment to smooch keyboardist Tommy Ratliff (watch it on video above, if ABC hasn't taken it down yet). And while lots of critics freaked out as he flipped off the audience -- it was edited in the West Coast feed of the show -- Lambert said y'all just need to deal.
"I believe in artistic freedom and expression, I believe in honoring
the lyrics of a song, and those lyrics aren't really for everybody
either," he told Access Hollywood, saying he thought editing his performance discrimination. "There's a big double standard, female pop artists have been doing
things provocative like that for years, and the fact that I'm a male,
and I'll be edited and discriminated against could be a problem."
In fact, he added, his being gay and acting like it just points out there's something wrong with everyone else.
"People are scared and it's really sad," he said. "I just wish
people could open their minds up and enjoy things, it's all for a
laugh, it's really not that big of a deal."
He did add to Rolling Stone that the kiss with Ratliff wasn't clear, but just one of those heat-of-the moment things. ABC said it had received about 1,500 calls from viewers to complain about the performance, a response the network called "moderate."
It was still way more interesting than the supposed other big moments of the night, like Lady Gaga playing a piano that was on fire and Jennifer Lopez's supposed big stage slip, which was barely noticeable in a rather ho-hum performance. Maybe more entertainers need to blow the fact that they're gay way out of proportion.
From the AP: One person was killed Friday when a tour bus
belonging to entertainer Miley Cyrus overturned, but the 16-year-old Hannah Montana star wasn't on board, Virginia State Police said.
Sgt.
Thomas Molnar said the bus ran off the left side of Interstate 85,
struck an embankment and overturned. The accident occurred around 8:15
a.m. in Dinwiddie County, about 40 miles south of Richmond. Speed and
weather weren't considered factors, although TMZ says the roads were wet from rain.
Molnar
said the person who died at the scene was male, but didn't identify him
pending notification of family members. One of the other nine people on
the bus suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
Police wouldn't identify those aboard.
TMZ says officials were investigating whether the driver died before or after the accident, which may explain why it drifted off the road and skidded several hundred feet into a ditch.
Molnar said the bus was one of four traveling together after the singer's two-show stint Wednesday and Thursday in Long Island, N.Y. The
group was heading to Greensboro, N.C., where she was scheduled to
perform Sunday.
Who would have guessed Chris Brown would have trouble selling tickets to his "Fan Appreciation" tour? Well, besides everyone with a pulse, that is?
It seems Chris' show in Hollywood at the smallish Avalon earlier this week was so undersold, scalpers were hawking tickets at less than face value, but no one was biting, the New York Daily News says. They're also quick to note that the show was less than two miles from where he beat Rihanna back in February.
"The Avalon is small and I expected it to sell out the first day, but
it didn't. I'm not much of a fan, but I bought these tickets for my
girlfriend," some 18-year-old named Danny McElroy told the paper. "I've had trouble selling (them). I'm just trying
to get back what I paid for them."
You should have paid zero for 'em, ya nitwit; Then it's easy to get a return on your investment. Brown will be at the House of Blues in Orlando on Dec. 1. We'll be sure to not be there.

Not to be outdone by tales of Beyonce renting an entire Liverpool hotel room just for her baggage, Mariah Carey is probably off pouting because British health and safety officials refused to let her be surrounded by 20 white kittens and 100 white doves as she turned on a shopping center's Christmas lights in London. No wonder the world hates America.
It's not like organizers of the complex's celebration could find them anyway: 'We did manage to source the doves that we were going to release into the sky, but the kittens proved terribly difficult," a source told the Daily Mail. "In the end, it was made clear that due to health and safety, there was no way we could have the animals at Westfield. We do not allow pets into Westfield -- that rule would apply for everyone."
The menagerie was among a list of demands the 39-year-old diva had for the Thursday event. She also wanted 80 security guards; pink, butterfly-shaped confetti to be thrown into the air; a pink carpet; a wand to "wave" on the lights; consideration for an entourage of 15 recording execs and PR people and a Rolls Royce to drive her to the place.
"We have worked extremely hard to make sure that Mariah's event is fantastic," the source said. "Even the model of car had to be changed six times to one that her people liked."
Oh, we remember Mimi back during her Vision of Love days, when marrying the head of Columbia Records was the most dastardly thing she could do.

Oh, that Amy Winehouse; Here we were all concerned that she ended up in the hospital over the weekend because of a reaction to prescription drugs, and it turns out her new breast implants were leaking. At least, that's what her dad says, because Mitch is so awesome he needs the world to know.
"It wasn't because she had a cold. She's fine, she just had a little (Mitch points to his chest) leaky
something or other," he told the U.K.'s Sun. A friend adds to 3am: "She saw something oozing out on to her top. She was worried as they looked wonky and to see stuff seeping out was horrible."
That "something horrible" was probably just Amy herself, but geez, how traumatic. Mitch blabbing to the press, we mean, not a leaky implant. That guy make Michael Lohan look like a saint.
We're closing in on a year since Chris Brown savagely attacked Rihanna, so it must be about time to hear if she's ready to date again. Forget the Justin Timberlake rumors; The New York Daily News says she's taken a shine to 90210's Tristan Wilds.
The 20-year-old actor showed up at a party Rihanna was hosting over the weekend at her L.A. home before leaving for London, and guests noted the sparks were immediately noticeable.
"No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an
industry party — it was very intimate," a source says. "But
everyone quickly realized they weren't meeting for the first time,
because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see."
In fact, the pair met when a music producer introduced them. Wilds starred in The Wire and Jay-Z's Roc Boys video, and is working on an album of his own, which is a prerequisite for young actors these days.
"He's a real gentleman," the source adds. "She likes him a lot, and it
shows. From the moment he walked into her party, Rihanna lit up."
The affection is only supposed to get more intense, the source promises: "They're already planning to use iChat and Skype to stay in contact until Tristan finishes shooting 90210 for the season and can fly out to meet her on the road." Good, that'll keep us busy here at The Juice* for a spell.
Janet Jackson has been staying pretty quiet since her brother Michael's death, but in an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, the performer demands that MJ's doctor, Conrad Murray, be brought to justice. As if handing out a surgical anesthesia (possibly illegally) is something that warrants criminal charges!
"He was the one that was administering," Janet says in the interview, which will air Friday at 10 p.m. "I think he is responsible."
She also talks about how she feels about Michael's death, saying that when she heard the news, she was floored, and has been trying to cope ever since.
"It just didn't ring true to me. It felt like a dream," she said. "It's
still so difficult for me to believe. It's, you know, you have to
accept what is. But it's hard. You have to move on with your life. You
have to accept what is and I understand that."
Luckily it sounds like Janet's largely been staying out of the estate fight her papa Joe has been waging. Not that she's given to believe accusations that Joe was an abusive father.
"You have to keep in mind that I'm the baby," Janet said, noting she's the youngest of nine siblings. "I think it's old-school. And that may
extrapolate into, ah, being a little abusive. Do you understand what
I'm saying?"
we understand that you just didn't witness it. So then how does she know that and then is so sure Murray is responsible for Michael's death? Oh, such circuitous logic!
