American Idol to Make Like Big Brother?

A pair of new judges and the elimination of the top 24 round is reportedly not enough change for American Idol.
The show is contemplating something much bigger.
As detailed by The Hollywood Reporter, producers are emphasizing the theme of "transparency" this season. As such, they are seriously thinking about going all Big Brother on viewers: filming the interactions of finalists that reside together in a Los Angeles home.

Other changes being considered: allowing the contestants to use Twitter throughout the season; taking the finalists on a road trip to Las Vegas and somehow integrating them with Cirque du Soleil's Beatles-inspired show.

I’m not getting married says Genelia D’Souza

 
Genelia D’Souza is upset with rumours of her wedding with actor Riteish Deshmukh. The actress says she isn’t getting married to anyone for the time being.
“To set the record straight, I am not getting married to anyone. I have always maintained that my personal life is not something I would like to discuss. But this time since it was something that would affect my family, I decided to take a stand,” said Genelia in a statement released here Tuesday.
“My films and my brands are my priority as of now and I’d like to keep it that way. And if I do decide to settle down, you will hear it from me when as and when it happens,” she added.
A tabloid had reported the romance brewed between Genelia and Riteish on the sets of Tujhe Meri Kasam (2003) and that they are planning to get married this year.
“It’s rather funny that we have to read about the progress in our lives in the press before we even know it ourselves. I wonder how news like that can be put out without any confirmation from the people whose lives are being discussed,” she said.
Genelia is right now looking forward to the release of Chance Pe Dance. She is paired with Shahid Kapoor in the film, which is releasing on Jan 15.

Planning Baby #2 For Attention....????

We love tabloid reports you can set your watch by.
No sooner did Jessica Simpson get engaged to than gossip emerged about how she only did it to upstage Nick Lachey, and/or that Eric Johnson betrayed her.
Now the latest, predictable twist. Younger, even less talented sister AshLEE Simpson is planning to have another baby just so she can regain some attention!

ATTENTION-STARVED: Forget kids, Ash. Just wear that ... whatever that is.

Sources say the failed singer and actress, who raises son Bronx with husband Pete Wentz, is furious that her older, more famous sister Jessica gets all the press.
“Ashlee’s career isn’t going anywhere right now,” a source said, “she hates that Jessica gets more press, even more so following Jessica's engagement to Eric."
According to this almost certainly bogus report, “She thinks having another baby will help land some magazine covers and thrust her back into the spotlight.”
Sorry, but the only thrusting involved here will be on Pete's part.

Lisa Vanderpump on Kelsey Grammer Engagement......Seriously??

Sticking up for her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star, who is still legally Kelsey's wife, Vanderpump Tweeted her reaction to the news this week:
Did I miss something? Don't you think you should get divorced first? Just take one step at a time... like a game of chess, that way fewer mistakes and no regrets.

Camille Grammer has speculated that Kelsey pushed for her to appear on this Bravo hit specifically to get time for himself with Walsh, a 29-year old flight attendant.

It does sound like Kelsey could use some advice. Perhaps he could channel his fictional alter ego. Anyone have the number for Frasier Crane's radio show?

Michael Lohan Lands Gig as Rehab Consultant

Michael Lohan put Lindsay Lohan in rehab (in more ways than one).
Now he's scored the most ironic job ever and will be doing this for a living, working as a consultant for a rehabilitation referral company. Yes, for real.
MiLo's working with "Recovery Hub," an L.A. company that specializes in matching recovering addicts with a rehab center that best fits their needs.
Sounds like eHarmony for alkies. Hey, he's certainly familiarized himself with enough such locales. And they say the job market is in the tank ...

DON'T EVEN ASK, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW: Yeah ... no idea what the heck is going on in this photo of Mike, but it doesn't make it any less awesome.

The tale of Sonakshi Sinha’s Fat to Fit Body

You could define it as the Sonakshi/Sonam syndrome. And it’s making itself amply evident across the world including India, among young girls shedding their extra kilos to sport a svelte figure.
Sonakshi Sinha the lead actress in the bollywood blockbuster “Dabangg” is a far cry from the plump girl that she was till only a year ago. According to some Bollywood reports, Sonakshi Sinha was around 30 kgs overweight before she made her big screen debut into the Bollywood Industry. Anil Kapoor’s Daughter Bollywood Star Sonam Kapoor too is reported to have been some 90 kgs before she debuted in “Saawariya”. From overweight adolescents to fab figure femmes, these actresses exemplify an increasing trend among young girls. Isnt that great???
According to one of the country’s obesity consultant and practising dietitian Deepika Bhalla, the frequency with which she comes across such cases of young girls wanting to lose weight is alarming. “Girls who’re happy being plump in school suddenly become conscious of their looks when they turn 16 or 18. And since that’s the time when their college life also begins, they’re at pains to look their best. There is also a great deal of peer pressure to look better than your friends,” says Deepika Bhalla, adding, “And the advantage in these times is that you can lose weight pretty quickly, thanks to our medical science that all the treatments, diets and advice available in the market.”
While losing excess weight is a good thing, as perhaps may be the case with Sonakshi Sinha, trying to get a Perfect 10 figure overnight is a dangerous trend, warn experts. According to clinical psychologist and psychotherapist Varkha Chulani, “The size zero like Kareena Kapoor flaunts attracts girls towards equating beauty with the kind of figure they have. And they start believing that they need to have a perfect figure to look great. This results in over-exercising and going under the knife, which jeopardizes their body.”
