Zac Efron's Ready to Get Shirtless and Duke It Out

PopSugar — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:00:39 -0700

Zac Efron is on the cover of May's GQ as he continues to get out there and promote 17 Again before its release this weekend. Fresh off hosting SNL, Zac is continuing in his quest to transition from teen idol to serious actor. He sat down with the magazine to discuss mature topics like meeting Hollywood A-listers, marriage, and what he was like as a kid - all while using some colorful language. Here's more:

On doing theater in high school: "It was the worst possible thing you could do in high school. Kids who are in musical theater tend to be self-confident in a quirky kind of way, and when kids who are really self-conscious see somebody doing that kind of thing, they try to bring them down. I used to do random things, man. When I was a kid? I dyed my hair silver, to look like Sisqó in the 'Thong Song' video. I just didn’t give a f*ck. I didn’t care."
On keeping his reputation clean: "I wasn’t programmed by Disney. It’s common sense. If you’re gonna be drunk with your friends, don’t get wasted at the Chateau Marmont and hook up with some famous chick. It’s not rocket science . . . I don’t want to be famous for my personality. If anything, I keep that under wraps."
On marriage: "That was such bullsh*t. I’m definitely not getting married. In this business, you’re either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I’m not getting married until I’m 40. If ever. The thought never crossed my mind . . . Maybe not 40. Maybe not until I’m 30."

To see photos of Zac, as well as what he has to say about meeting Sean Penn, Leo, and his family, just read more.

On meeting Sean Penn: "He was, uh, not in top form. Or maybe he was in top form. He was in rare form. Anyway - he told me to go skydiving. That’s all. Just-'Go skydiving.'"
On his lunch date with Leo: "I thought I was gonna ask him questions. He ended up asking me questions, and in that, he told me a lot. He said, 'There's one way that you can really f*ck this all up. Just do heroin. If you steer clear of that-the other obstacles you’ll be able to navigate.' And that makes sense, dude."
On his parents: "They’re both pessimists. They’ll give it to you real. They don’t blow you up with excess confidence. I didn’t grow up thinking I was the greatest kid in the world. And they completely believed that there was a one-in-a-billion chance I would ever be successful. And that was ingrained in the back of my head: I will fail. I’m going to fail. They managed my expectations. I was always prepared to fail. So it was kind of confusing when things started to work out."

American Idol Gets Disco Fever

PopSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 10:45:36 -0700

Last night it was time for disco on American Idol, and thankfully the final seven managed to mix it up a bit and find their own way to take on the genre - phew. Lil Rounds kicked off the evening with a lackluster "I'm Every Woman," and the judges are so over her they barely even commented other than to say it was another disappointment. Kris Allen went next and was able to kick the energy up a notch with "She Works Hard For the Money," which got pretty great reviews across the board. Paula managed to confuse everyone, Simon especially, by saying that Kris "shopped in the women's section." Despite Paula's rambling, Simon managed to say that he loved it. Kris is getting stronger by the week, and hopefully this means we'll see him get closer to the top.

Up third was Danny Gokey, who might have a loyal following and perfect pitch but still seemed a little cheesy belting out "September." It was a wonder Allison Iraheta didn't fall over in those sky-high heels, and despite some of the judges not loving her arrangement of "Hot Stuff," Simon called it brilliant.

To read about the rest of the contestants as well as who I think is going home and lots of photos just read more.

Adam is ever the strategist and, after last week's big performance, toned it back a little bit to impress the judges with his take on "If I Can't Have You" from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. As usual, his vocal range impressed the judges, who sometimes seem like they're ready to give him the title right then and there, before thanking the man who helped him come up with such an inspired arrangement. Matt Giraud chose an apt song after being saved last week - "Stayin' Alive." He did his best JT impression, though it wasn't enough to wow all the judges. The final singer for the night was Anoop Desai with "Dim All The Lights." He looked great in his suit with pink tie and sweater, but in general the performance was blah. As for the bottom three? I'm thinking Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai, and Mat Giraud again. Going home: Lil and Anoop.

Check out Buzz's thoughts here and vote on which two you think are headed home.

A Glamourous Katie Holmes Is Not Pregnant

PopSugar — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 12:30:09 -0800

Katie Holmes posed for a naughty and nice photo shoot in the 70th anniversary April issue of Glamour magazine. She opens up about Tom Cruise, Suri, and how she deals with all of the media attention. She also denied any pregnancy rumors, and seems very happy with her cozy family. Here are some highlights:

On being a mom: "Well, becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience-in an instant you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it’s the most important job in the world. Of course [the responsibility scared me.] During the first couple of days [with Suri], we would just sleep right next to her to make sure she was breathing. And I was constantly learning on the job, but Tom was very helpful and supportive."
On press about Suri: "Some of the stuff [people said] was such absolutely horrible things to say about a child. It was so uncalled for and so disgusting. Enough is enough. Yes, [Tom told me not to worry]. We were changing diapers. He said, 'I don’t want you to get upset.' And I said, 'Well, I am upset.' So we approached it together. But I definitely felt like-as a woman, as the mother of Suri-I want to handle this! My mom is very strong, and if anyone ever said anything about any of us, she would be, 'Excuse me? That’s my family!'"
On their typical family life: "We’re all together. We like to be together, so we use the house for our [business] meetings. [We] play Yahtzee, board games, Scrabble. We grill; have pool parties. We play 'The Three Little Pigs' and Suri is the Big Bad Wolf. [Tom] reads storybooks to Suri, and we all laugh. When a good song comes on, he’ll break out in a dance. We’ll watch movies in bed-recently Madagascar and Cinderella, for Suri. We really have a good time."

To see more photos and hear what Katie has to say about Tom just read more.

On what Tom is really like: "He loves women; he was raised with sisters. He’s strong and intelligent and very, very funny. For my thirtieth birthday he couldn’t be in New York [where she was doing her play]. So he organized the whole audience at that show to sing “Happy Birthday” to me, and then he had a cake rolled out on the stage. But he’s not a dreamer-he just does it. He’ll say, “I think I like that movie,” and the next day, “I’m going to make that movie!”
On always knowing she would marry Tom: "When Top Gun came out, my sisters were like, 'Oh, my God, Top Gun! Tom Cruise!' And I very confidently said, 'I’m going to marry him one day.' It wasn’t like, How do I get to Tom Cruise? It was just: I think I’m going to marry him. Why not? He’ll like me. I’m fun."
On her work: "I want to do it all. Bad girl, good girl, complicated girl. Aren’t we all complicated? And I like all different genres: comedies, dramas, action, musicals. I’m taking jazz and ballet lessons."

Katie seems confident in her relationships and happy with her family life and we can't complain either since we love seeing her out with Tom and adorable little Suri.

Idol Gets Messy, Melodic and Mustached For Motown Week

Molly — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 11:00:39 -0700

The Idols took on Motown last night, which meant a trip to Detroit for the top ten before working with Smokey Robinson on their songs for the week. Matt Giraud kicked off the night perfectly - he was as Justin Timberlake-esque as ever going all out with his awesome rendition of "Let's Get It On" - and it was no surprise that the judges loved it. He was followed up by Kris Allen who made a great choice with "How Sweet It Is" to go with his cute smile and demeanor. Between mostly forgettable Scott MacIntyre and Megan Joy, the judges got a little silly when Paula gave Simon a coloring book and "crowns" (as Simon pronounced crayons). Later in the night, Simon drew a mustache on Paula's face.

To hear what we thought of the rest of the performances, who we think is going home and to see a whole gallery of photos just read more.

After the humor interlude were a few more blah performances from Anoop who sounded good singing "Baby Baby" but as Simon pointed out looked like he might fall asleep, Michael Sarver whose "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" had Simon begging it would end, and Lil Rounds whose "Heat Wave" just didn't heat up. The final three performances were from some of the fan favorites - Adam Lambert was part Elvis part Jonas Brother for his rendition of "Tracks of My Tears," which Simon deemed the best performance of the night. Danny Gokey faltered for the first time this season with "Get Ready Here I Come," which didn't get raves from the judges. Allison finished up the night with a strong "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" proving herself the strongest female left in the competition. As for the bottom three, our guesses are Michael Sarver, Megan Joy and Scott MacIntyre, but we think it's time to say bye-bye to Oil Rig Sarver. Check out Buzz's thoughts here - so who do you think is headed home tonight?

Justin "Infatuated" with Britney

The Private Life of Justin Timberlake

"I didn't want to be the guy who dates girls in tabloids"

Locked & Loaded
With his second album about to hit stores, serious roles in two upcoming movies, and the older woman you dream about, Justin Timberlake is on the verge of something very big.

By Lisa DePaulo, Photographs by Steve Klein

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE picks me up in his black Porsche 911 convertible, in front of the Chateau Marmont. "Don't worry," he says. "We're not doing the Chateau Marmont celebrity interview. You know, 'We're at the Chateau! And Bobby De Niro walked in! And he ordered salad!'"

No, he's taking me to a little joint on Highland Avenue called Ammo that he likes because it's "cool" and he can go there without getting noticed and we can sit outside and smoke. (Even though Justin doesn't smoke, you kind of get the feeling he'd like to.)

"Didja eat lunch?" he asks. "Good. Neither did I. Fucking starving."

He peels out of the Chateau...and almost runs over Mos Def, who is walking up the driveway.

"Yo, bro!" says Justin. "What's up?"

"I'm mixing a record out here, bro," says Mos Def.

"I can't wait to hear it!" says Justin.

"It's good, it's good."

"All right, man."

"Take care, bro."

Nice wheels, I tell him, as he accelerates rather abruptly out onto Sunset Boulevard.

"Yeah, well, it's better than my extra-small penis car." And that would be...? "My Ferrari," he says, adding that he also has a Bimmer, which he lent to his parents for the week. Oh, and a Jeep and a Dodge pickup "with a winch" on it. A winch? "Wow, you really are from New York," says Justin. "A winch is a device that you attach to the front of the, uh, truck, and you can tow people out if they get stuck."

I see.

"I'm into cars. You know, boys and their toys."

He tears down Sunset, almost clipping another (lesser) vehicle. "You know when I'm an asshole?" he says. "In traffic. I get road rage so badly. I'm on my best behavior today. But I get road rage like you wouldn't believe!"

After some L.A. parking drama, Justin finds a spot near Ammo, steps out of the car...and a fan materializes on the sidewalk. (So much for not getting noticed.) "You're my favorite!" squeals the young woman, who just happens to have Justin's face on a button on her denim jacket.

"You're my favorite, too," says Justin.

The woman practically faints.

We sit at an outdoor table, and Justin orders the turkey meat loaf. Midway through lunch, Ben Stiller walks in, stops to say hi.

"Hey, dude," Justin says. "How's the missus?"

"Cool," says Stiller. "We got, like, the baby. A 10-month-old. Life is good."

"Awesome, man!" says Justin.

L.A. can be so scintillating.

Now a horn is honking. There's a fan sitting in a car just off the curb who, having spotted Justin, is beeping and waving frantically, trying to get his attention. Justin waves back. "I feel thankful," he says. "There are parts of my celebrity that are really cool. Like that. That might have made her day, you know? And by the way, don't get me wrong--it has nothing to do with me. It's just like she saw somebody that she saw on television. She knows not one thing about me."

After the meat loaf, we return to the Porsche, only to find that the fan, the one we encountered earlier, is still there. And now she has a camera.

"Hi," says Justin. "I'll bet you wanna take a picture with that camera."

"Ohmygod," she says. "I'm, like, your biggest fan!" She pauses and frowns, "Even though you guys haven't put out an album in, like, forever."

Justin smiles tensely. She is talking about 'NSync, Justin's erstwhile Boy Band, the one he'd just as soon forget.

"I even got 'NSync on my license plate," she adds.

(How adorable, I whisper. "Please don't remind me," whispers Justin.)

"All right," he says to the fan. She can take a picture. He lifts her camera out of her trembling paws and hands it to me. "Don't mess this one up," he tells me.

"Thank you soooo, soooo much," she says.

"You're quite welcome, sweetheart."

He hops back into his Porsche.

"Okay," he says. "That's the part that slightly freaks me out."

HE WAS NEVER supposed to be cool. Not Justin Timberlake. Not the kid who started his career, at age 10, on frickin' Star Search. Who then went on to become...a Mouseketeer. Who then went on to live in Orlando to be close to Disney World. Orlando! Who was known as Pizza Face in junior high school because of his zits. He was hardly destined to be Hollywood royalty, let alone a guy with hit records, movie roles, and Cameron Diaz--

But we digress.

At the age of 25, Justin Timberlake finds himself--some would say miraculously--at the top of the heap. A staggering feat for any 25-year-old, but more so for a former Boy Band member whose biggest claim to fame could have been, might have been, being Britney Spears's Ex-Boyfriend. But that was then.

Now there's the new album coming out--which is rumored to be better than his first solo album, the hugely successful but unfortunately titled Justified, which was better than anyone (except perhaps Justin) ever dreamed it would be. There are the movie roles--a supporting role in the soon-to-be-released Black Snake Moan (with Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci); a dark and already buzzed-about part in the upcoming Alpha Dog; a voice role in the indie underdog Shrek the Third.

And have we mentioned the clothing line?

There are those who might fairly wonder: Whaaa? Justin Timberlake? He's okay looking, yeah, but so are zillions of other 25-year-olds in L.A. He's talented. Ditto. Works hard. Ditto. He's generally perceived as a Pretty Nice Guy, well-grounded, a kid from the "woods" outside Memphis who, as they like to say in the country, hasn't forgotten where he came from. He has no vices to speak of (except for "a couple of beers" while watching ESPN); he likes to golf, snowboard, and bake--yes, bake. He lives in a house his mother picked out for him, and when asked to pinpoint the hardest, most trying time in his life, he replies, "Nothing." The biggest mistake? "The Super Bowl," he says, when he not-so-inadvertently helped Janet Jackson (whom he allegedly had a romance with, but "I'm not gonna go too far into that," he says) expose her tit on national television. That's his biggest regret in life. No tragic backstory. No stints in rehab. None of the usual trajectory for a former child star.

"You know, the words child star just never registered with me," says Justin. "Still. To this day. I guess because when I was a child, I didn't think I was a child. I always thought I was an adult. My mother always spoke to me like I was an adult. She never talked down to me. I was never pushed by my parents. It was always like, 'I want to do this.' Like, it was just something that was undeniable for me, and I didn't know where it was gonna go. Still don't know."

"Justin is together," says his manager, Johnny Wright, who has repped him since Justin was 14. (He used to rep Britney, too, but says she dumped him during the breakup.) "A lot of times when kids grow up in the business, they stray off the deep end. Justin has always been the opposite. You know, normal. He's not a bad guy, he's not a tyrant. He's not a druggie, he's not a drunk." Usually, Wright allows, people who are in this business since age 10 are a little fucked-up at this point.

"We always tried to keep him grounded," says his mother, Lynn Harless, who had him (her only child) when she was 20. "We tried to remind him that he was just someone who had a cool job. I remember when he was 14 and 'NSync [Lynn came up with the name for the band] was really getting big and the record company wanted to take him out on tour alone, and I said, 'No! You can't take my 14-year-old child. Are you crazy?'" She speaks in a rich Memphis accent. She still lives there but makes frequent trips to Los Angeles to care for her boy--she picked out his house, pays his bills, and with her husband, Paul (Justin's stepfather), manages his finances. "It wasn't like we were out there trying to make a career out of this."

"My mom is so cool," says Justin.

His first gig was on Star Search, when he was 10. He auditioned for it at a mall in Tennessee. At 11, he was in the Mickey Mouse Club. It was there that he fell for Britney Spears, a fellow Mouseketeer. "I was in love with her from the start," says Justin. "I was infatuated with her from the moment I saw her."

"Britney grew up on my living room floor," says Lynn. "We were family, and I still love her to death. They were together ten or eleven years and had, from day one, that chemistry between them. She's a sweet girl. And I just hate what she's going through now."

Justin would very much like to get past the Britney era, but that decade of his life isn't so easily erased. The breakup, when Justin was all of 21, made him tabloid fodder for months and was brutally hard on him, even as it made him more and more famous. As life-defining moments go, it was bigger than the Super Bowl. "Especially when you loved that person half your life," he says.

"I don't think his breakup with her was any different than anybody's breakup with their first love," says his mother. "It's usually not as publicized."

THE TRUTH IS, he got his ass handed to him by Britney. For a while, he dealt with it by pursuing, as he puts it, "the affections of many young females." Then, as time passed, he began to deal with it creatively: His hit song "Cry Me a River" from his last album was a lyrical fuck-you to Ms. Spears. (You told me you loved me/Why did you leave me, all alone/Now you tell me you need me/When you call me, on the phone/Girl I refuse, you must have me confused/With some other guy/Your bridges were burned, now it's your turn/To cry, cry me a river.) "When we initially parted ways, he says, "I felt like she had a couple of opportunities to just sort of stick up for me, and she didn't. Which is fine. But at that time, you know, I fought back, and that's the way I fought back. I used my mind. I came up with a song."

He says it's now "a distant thing" and that, contrary to reports, he doesn't talk to Britney (and never told her to lose the loser husband), but he does feel badly when he sees what the press is putting her through. "I wish her well, and I want to see her win," he says. "I don't think you can ever count somebody like her out. Because she may appear one way, but she's very clever," he says cryptically. He refuses to gloat over the fact that his career took off like a shot and she ended up crying through her mascara to Matt Lauer. "I mean, at the end of the day, it's like, be a man. You know? Some shit happened, it wasn't good, but be a man," he says.

Justin is smart enough to know that his reputation as a chick magnet has not hurt his music career. But his experience as "that guy in the tabloids" made him more determined to do something credible with his career. "I didn't want to be 'that guy from the Boy Band.' I didn't want to be that guy who was just, like, famous for being famous. I didn't want to be the guy who dates girls in the tabloids. That's why the [first] album was such a big deal for me. I had to fight harder for my respect, for my credibility."

He made the decision to go solo in 2002, at a time when, as he says, "'NSync was, like, bigger than bubble gum." They were selling "bagillions of records." Forty-two million, to be exact. "People said, 'Are you crazy? This is a good thing. Ride it out.' But all I wanted to be was taken seriously." And he was, to the tune of 7 million records worldwide, shocking both his critics and his fans. Suddenly, it was cool to listen to Justin Timberlake, and even cooler to be Justin Timberlake.

"I've made a career out of doing things I probably shouldn't do," he likes to say. "Like after the solo record, I wanted to do films, and everybody said, 'Are you crazy? Do another record. You're on a roll.' For me, it was just like, eh, I wanna do films. And now that I'm doing a record again, of course my record label's very happy." He laughs. "But I think there's that curiosity: Can he do it again?"

Not to mention the pressure to top the first one. "My mission wasn't to top it," he says. "Well, okay, my mission was to top it, but in a different way. I wanted a new sound. I wanted something fresh.

"This stuff is so progressive," he says of the new record, FutureSex/LoveSounds. He took his time with it and enlisted the help of legendary producers Timbaland and Rick Rubin. "It's very different form the last album. Like, the last album, so much of what was happening in my life was fed into the album. And people would psychoanalyze the songs. But I didn't care, because it meant they were actually listening to the songs. It sent everybody into this guessing game, which--I can't lie--was sort of fun for me."

Will there be anything to psychoanalyze on this one?

He smiles. "Probably. There's lots of love and sex. And sex. And sex and love. A lot of sex."

WHICH BRINGS US to Cameron. Justin is fiercely protective of his three-year relationship with her--which, of course, no one thought would las longer than three weeks. "For me, this time around, it's been important to stay, at least as much as I can, out of the limelight. And I think that's made it more enriching. I've received so much more from it by keeping it just between the two people it's supposed to be between. Some people, especially here, are happy to offer themselves up in that way. But I come from a small town where, like, to give someone privacy means to give them respect." Besides, he adds, being tabloid fodder "really affected me." (Case in point: A week after our interview, the gossips said he had dumped Cameron so he could "sow his wild oats"--precisely the kind of thing that pisses him off.)

He says that he came to the realization that that whole thing with Britney "was just so high school" (perhaps because he was in high school) and that what he has with Cameron is more "adult." She's eight years older than he is and golfs and snowboards with his mother. "We have a lot in common," says Lynn. As for her son, "Justin moved on [from the Britney thing] a long time ago, or he wouldn't be in another relationship. He's very monogamous. One piece of advice he never took from me was to date around. He just couldn't do it. He's always been a one-woman man."

So, what makes it work?

Justin pauses. "I think, uh--without being so ambiguous that I seem like an asshole? There's no pretense about anything. It's just a sort of coming together of two people."

People think that you traded up.

"Well, that's a lot of ignorance."

TONIGHT JUSTIN TAKES the Bimmer out to drive himself to the MTV Movie Awards. "Oh, yes, I loooove awards shows," he says sarcastically. In the backseat are his publicist, some dude from his record company, and Rachael, his personal assistant (who also happens to be his cousin). Which leads to some Memphis country-talk about his grandmother's peach cobbler and the revelation that Justin Timberlake likes to bake.

Does Cameron cook?

"Like the Devil. It's the way to a man's heart, you know."

What does she cook?

Justin turns up the music. I clearly have gotten too personal.

When he pulls up to the Sony lot, all hell breaks loose. Justin would like you to believe he doesn't notice that out of all the celebrities walking the red carpet tonight, he's the one who gets the most screams, the most hysteria, the most overheated shoutouts from the most underdressed women.

Justin! Justin! Justin! It just goes on and on and on. A few of them are trying to throw themselves over a wall. For Justin Timberlake. Who isn't even up for an award. He's just here to present the award for Best Kiss.

Ahead of him on the red carpet is Superman, behind him Jessica Simpson. Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, Will Ferrell in his NASCAR outfit. But the crowd is stuck on Justin.

Access Hollywood jams a microphone in his face, with a pressing question: What does he think of the new Superman? "He looks, uh, super," says Justin.

He does what he has to with Extra and Entertainment Tonight. He talks to the southern chick from Jay Leno who commands his attention by shrieking "You're hot!" Someone wants to know where "his lady" is tonight. "I don't know," he says. "If you see her, let me know." A fan wants to know: Where's Cameron? "She's, uh, watching the kids," he replies. His publicist says that's enough, but a woman stuck in the pathetic "radio interviewers" section of the blue carpet is screaming Please! and Justin takes pity on her. "Just one question," she begs. Okay, says Justin, shoot. "What's the last thing you bought?"

Ah, Hollywood.

Later, he presents the award for Best Kiss--which of course goes to Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. "The fellas," as he puts it. Makes an ad-lib crack on the air about getting a hand job backstage, which will be edited out of the broadcast. Then bolts thirty minutes into the show. ("Can we leave now?" he asked his publicist.)

On the ride home, he talks about his favorite TV show, Grey's Anatomy. He wants Dr. McDreamy to choose Meredith.

Um, isn't that a chick show?

"It is a chick show. Fuck yeah, it is."

He has a moment of road rage on Robertson Boulevard, then suggests losing everybody before he heads back to his castle in the Hills, where he lives with his two dogs, Buckley and Brennan. "I live alone," he says. "Well, Trace [his friend from home] has a room there, and Rachael lives in the guesthouse--"

He doesn't live with Cameron?

"Uh, noooo." A pause. "I have my own house. It's very important. Healthy." He laughs nervously. "Don't you need your own space?"

Britney Wears Many Hats, Now With More New Music!

Molly — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 08:31:04 -0700

Britney was all over LA this weekend with her favorite fedora along for the whole ride. On Saturday she went furniture shopping, but the store was closed and on Sunday she had an early dinner out at Taverna Tony's with Sean Preston and Jayden James in tow. When not with her boys she had her other favorite accessory in hand - a Red Bull can. Both these outfits are better than her pockets-out weekend look, yes? And about that new music...

Britney's still holding strong at #1 downloaded song on iTunes (though she has dropped off the top 10 in ringtones, whatever), but if Gimme More isn't your speed maybe Britney's rumored new single below will be. It's called Piece of Me, which is also supposedly the name of her upcoming album. I'm not loving it, but she's certainly spitting 'tude these days. Give it a listen - what do you think?

Piece of Me

Paris Promotes in South Beach

PopSugar — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 10:52:05 -0700

Paris was all over South Beach yesterday celebrating her new album, which hits stores August 22nd. She first stopped at Spec's for the record signing, and then moved on to Suite to party with Nicky and best friends Brandon Davis and Scott Storch. Why does Scott have to dress like a pimp? This guy is psyched Paris is going to make him a household name. On top of all the Paris press he is now getting Christina press coincidentally when both these girls have albums dropping. The Gatecrasher reports:

Storch worked on Aguilera's last album, but says he dropped out of her "Back to Basics" CD because, among other things, she wouldn't send a private plane to collect him.

On her new track, the evocatively named "F.U.S.S.," Christina sings: "I thought I knew who you were, I see now you were a lesson to learn." And then: "This song is for you to remind you / that I moved on ... looks like I didn't need you."

Storch bristles in response: "It's pretty pathetic that she would do a song like this." The producer told In Touch magazine: "I worked on half of her last CD and sold her millions of copies. Obviously, she cares more than I do that I didn't do this album. "But I can't blame her, with an album full of fillers, oversinging and lame Vegas-like cabaret music." Storch adds: "You should fire your management for letting me slip through your fingers."

On a sad note, look at how these little girls look up to Paris. Oh man are we worried about the youth of America. Are they going to be bopping up and down singing the lyrics to Screwed? Say it isn't so.

Condensed Sugar: Weekly Roundup - Crazy, Cracked Out and Coming Back

Tom was dumped by Paramount ending their 14 year relationship due to "controversial and sometimes erratic behavior." As if that wasn't bad enough, Crazy Cruise landed at the bottom of the stars you would most like to have as a BFF list and top of the celebs you find most sexist list. However, it looks like he is finally working on turning around his image by kinda apologizing to Brooke.
Britney is glowing! We spotted her shopping a lot. She stood by her man as she introduced him at the Teen Choice Awards. She also got goofy playing dress up for some free swag.
If you missed the Teen Choice Awards you missed out on a lot of lovely ladies on the red carpet and some really badly dressed stars too. Jessica co-hosted the event with help from Dane and Daisy. And the night was not without drama. Nick won an award for the song he wrote about his breakup with Jess. Awkward!
The paparazzi love Nicole, so we saw a lot of Brody this week. The two are saying they're just friends, but they keep popping up everywhere together. We even saw Nicole and Brody's mom together at his birthday party and think we may have witnessed their first official date.
Poor Kate; she's in love with a crack addict. She planned a wedding in Bali, but Pete couldn't get out of rehab and missed his own big day. Pete was so upset about missing his trip he totally freaked out on a nurse who suggest he attend more therapy sessions for his drug problem. He then got caught giving cocaine to a teenage drug addict in rehab.
