Celebrity Trash


Johnny Depp is GQ's cover model for its 25 Most Stylish Men issue. The magazine classified the actor as being "at the top of his game," despite the fact that he often shows up to fancy award shows with torn clothes and ragged hair.

GQ described him as "a unicorn, a really glamorous, one-of-a-kind eccentric." They continued, "Usually guys try to fit in; they don't want to get criticized. At any red-carpet event, there are going to be guys who look spiffy in their Prada or Armani tuxedos, but you wait for Johnny Depp, because he's always going to look super-groovy and unconventional. He wears great man jewelry. He doesn't shy away from color. He's always peeking through his amazing hair. It doesn't matter if Johnny Depp's lying in a ditch -- he's always going to look incredible."


Simon Cowell may be leaving the powerhouse enterprise that is American Idol later this year, but he's on his way to becoming an even bigger media mogul. According to The Financial Times, Cowell has inked a long-term venture with Sony Music Entertainment to produce music, television and film. He's kicking things off with the U.S. version of hit British TV show, The X Factor. The new venture will be called Syco -- named after Cowell's record label. He will also serve as both a judge and the executive producer of The X Factor.

Meanwhile, American Idol creator Simon Fuller recently revealed his own plans for a new entertainment company called XIX. British media outlets have speculated that Fuller and Cowell's recent moves are just more indications of their professional rivalry -- as The X Factor expects to go head-to-head with American Idol. In a new interview, Fuller brushed off any rivalry talk, but he did say, "I want Idol to be purely about talent. We're not going to be led into the mud, we're going to stay on our hill."


Fox appears as though they're trying to cover up a deal with Conan O'Brien. As the world waits for official word from NBC about his future, TMZ.com reported that CONANONFOX.COM was registered under the name Twentieth Century Fox last week.

The network, however, denied that it had anything to do with the domain name or the corresponding Twitter account.

TMZ reported on Tuesday that the registered domain owner has now been changed to Domains By Proxy, Inc., a generic company designed to shield the owner of a web domain name.


Snooki won't be leaving our TV sets anytime soon. The loud-mouthed Jersey Shore star addressed rumors that she's going to star in her own reality show, telling Usmagazine.com, "Definitely there is no set thing, but it has been talked about."

The single 21-year-old added, "I got offers from VH1 and other reality networks." It's been reported that the show would be a Shot at Love-like reality series called, Snookin' for Love.


Heidi Montag is responding to criticism of her extensive plastic surgeries, clarifying that just because she's "obsessed" -- doesn't mean she's addicted to cosmetic surgery.

When asked on Tuesday's Good Morning America for a response to those who say she is addicted, the 23-year-old replied, "I would say that none of those people know me at all, and that's just a judgment. I'm not addicted. If I were addicted, I would have had 10 plastic surgeries." She again was forced to clarify, noting that she had ten procedures on the same day, not ten separate surgeries.


Actress Mo'Nique is getting new recognition and acclaim after winning a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actress in a motion picture for her role as an abusive mother in the film Precious. But she is also getting attention for showing off her hairy, unshaven legs on the ceremony's red carpet in Beverly Hills last Sunday (January 17th).

Though the BET late night talk show host has not spoken out about her choice not to shave or wax for the awards show, Mo'Nique has shared her opinion about her choice to go au naturel in the past. Appearing on The View back in 2006, according to frisky.com, the actress explained: "I must show America what a real leg looks like ... because it's too much in the morning, every morning, to shave, to cut, you got Band-Aids baby ... I really think hair on a woman's legs is a black woman's thing."

Washington was waking up Wednesday to a new Senate make-up, one featuring Republican Massachusetts Senator-elect Scott Brown, who defeated Democrat Martha Coakley in a victory few thought possible just a month ago.
The race for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy
In his victory speech, Brown declared that he had "defied the odds and the pundits," and said he would try to be a "worthy successor" to Kennedy.

The man accused of stabbing to death an 88-year-old woman in front of her Linwood townhouse pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
Anthony Milano, 65, is accused of killing Catherine McGowan in a late-morning attack in the Village at Linwood on Oct. 8. McGowan’s daughter, Dianne Nehmad, 61, and an 84-year-old neighbor who came to the women’s rescue were wounded.
Milano did not speak during the brief hearing before Superior Court Judge Bernard DeLury.


An earthquake killing up to 200,000 people would have been bad enough anywhere, but in Haiti, where AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria are rampant, children are malnourished and hygiene is already a challenge, it may create one of the worst medical disasters ever.
Medical teams pouring in to set up mobile hospitals say they are already overwhelmed by the casualties and fear the worst is yet to come as infection and disease take hold.
"The number one risk is always bacterial infections where they have open wounds," from a UN Health director


As humanitarian agencies ship food, water and medicine to earthquake-ravaged Haiti, one U.S. company is sending aid of another type: solar-powered audio Bibles.
Officials at Faith Comes by Hearing says 600 "Proclaimer" devices have been shipped to Haiti, where they'll be able to broadcast holy scriptures in native Haitian Creole to up to 300 people at a time.

Rock News


Linkin Park is leading an all-star lineup of acts who are lending never-before-released songs to the new music collection, Download To Donate For Haiti. It's a digital compilation dedicated to help raise funds and promote awareness of the recovery efforts following the earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince and its surrounding areas on January 12th. Also on the set are Slash, the All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Alanis Morissette, the Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, Enrique Iglesias, Kennam, Lupe Fiasco/Kenna and others.


Muse, Gorillaz and Jay-Z will lead the lineup of the 11th annual Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, scheduled for Friday, April 16th, Saturday, April 17th and Sunday, April 18th at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, which the event has called home since its 1999 launch. More than 130 acts will appear, including Faith No More in their first North American live gig since reuniting last year, Them Crooked Vultures, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Thom Yorke???? -- yes, with the question marks -- Phoenix, Julian Casablancas, the Dead Weather and many more.


Electronic rock duo MGMT say that they won't release any singles from their upcoming sophomore effort, Congratulations, which is set to arrive this spring. Ben Goldwasser of the Brooklyn-based act told NME.com, "We'd rather people hear the whole album as an album and see what tracks jump out rather than the ones that get played on the radio -- if anything gets played on the radio. There definitely isn't a 'Time to Pretend' or a 'Kids' on the album."
