Miley Cyrus Attacks Katy Perry for Dissing Her Tongue
MILEY CYRUS was apparently not happy with KATY PERRY'S joke about breaking off their kiss because Miley's tongue is nasty. Because Miley Tweeted, quote, "Girl if you're worried about where tongues have been good thing ur ex boo is ur EX BOO cause we ALL know where THAT [tongue's] been." That's obviously a reference to Katy's ex JOHN MAYER.
Has Miley Cyrus Gone the Way of the Gay?
MILEY CYRUS has been kissing a lot of girls lately. And she has the haircut of a 12-year-old Little Leaguer. Does that mean she has officially switched teams?
A very unreliable website says she has. Supposedly she'd been dating that producer MIKE WILL MADE IT, but she dumped him to go diving into the lady pool.
A source says, quote, "She don't like guys anymore. Maybe it's a phase, maybe it's forever. But Miley's gay."
Important Update: Andrew Garfield Isn't the Villain of the Batkid Story . . . He's the Hero
It turns out ANDREW GARFIELD isn't the reason the Batkid segment was pulled from the Oscars. The Academy blames, quote, "the logistics of production." But they also said Garfield made it right by going to Disneyland with Batkid and his family the next day.
Batkid's mother says they were informed of the change the morning of the show . . . quote, "I don't know if they ran out of time, or I there was something about the segment they didn't like.
"It got pulled so quickly that we didn't have a lot of insight into what was going on."
The Video of Justin Bieber Peeing in Jail Is Out
The video of JUSTIN BIEBER providing a urine sample in jail has finally surfaced . . . and it's a waste of two minutes of your time. You just see Justin peeing behind a privacy wall. And if there was a chance of anything private being seen over it, it's censored by a giant black box.
(Here's the video. Is it weird that the Internet is obsessed with jailhouse footage from Justin's arrest? WHO GIVES A RAT'S ASS!)
One of Oprah's Twitter Followers Asked Her For One of Her Dresses . . . And Oprah Gave It To Her
A woman loved a dress that OPRAH wore on a magazine cover so much that she went on Twitter and asked Oprah for it. Oprah replied, quote, "I won't wear [it] ever again contact my asst. and show her this tweet." Within a week, the woman had the dress.
Did Princess Diana Once Trick Oprah Into Eating a Fatty Dessert, While She Secretly Ate a Fat-Free Version?
PRINCESS DIANA'S personal chef Darren McGrady says that Diana and OPRAH WINFREY were having lunch together one time, and Diana served Oprah a creamy, mayonnaise-filled tomato mousse. Diana had Oprah THINKING she was eating the same thing . . . but she was actually eating a FAT-FREE VERSION.
Martha Stewart's Best Sex Tip: Bathe Before and After
During an online chat with fans, MARTHA STEWART was asked for her best sex tip. And she said, quote, "Always take a bath before and after." She also said she thinks she had a PRISON NICKNAME when she was locked up for insider trading, but she can't remember what it was.
