Dumping Kermit may now help Jason Segel get a girlfriend!

Jason Segel is saying goodbye to Kermit and he’s not even sad. Heck, Kermit is overrated anyways. In an interview with Parade magazine, Segel says that he is totally okay with letting go of The Muppets and he’s still riding solo (meaning he doesn’t have a big fat problem with being single either).

Check out the highlights from the interview below.

ON WHY HE ISN’T WRITING THE NEXT MUPPETS FILM:

“My goal wasn’t to be the new head of the Muppets but to be a footnote in the legacy. I did what I set out to do, and now I’d like to pursue human related projects. I’m a very good writer — all modesty aside — but it’s not my main profession. I am happy to leave it in the hands of people who are great and competent.”

ON WHETHER HE THINKS THERE IS SUCH A THING AS “THE ONE”:

“No, I don’t. I think relationships are an effort and it’s about timing, an actual decision, and two people deciding they will be the best person for one another. And what happens if you miss the one or they die? Now you are doomed to a life of loneliness? We know that’s not true. I think you want your partner to be your best friend. Even attraction will change. But what everyone’s looking for is a partner in crime.”

ON HOW COME HE IS SINGLE:

“I don’t want to have a girlfriend for the sake of having a girlfriend. I have no desire to pick a random girl. I want the right girl. There are plenty of opportunities, but I would rather have the right one.”

Kim Kardashian Talks Her Divorce (Yes, Again) And Camel Toes With Jay Leno

Kim Kardashian is still trying to convince us all that her marriage to Kris Humphries was not staged. She supposedly fell hard for the Humpty’s Hump after just a few months of dating and is now telling peeps that her family was warning her not to get hitched.

Kimmy told Jay Leno, “I’m a person, when I’m in love, you can’t tell me anything. And you gotta go through it yourself. So, I did what I believed in doing, and sometimes you don’t want to hear what your family has to say. You look back and you’re like, ‘OK, that was a sign,’ or, you know, ‘Maybe I should have listened to them.’ But, I wouldn’t have been who I am today had I not gone through that.”

At least she got paid millions to wed and got a zillion expensive wedding gifts to open. Not only that but she got the free press to go along with the madness.

“What you see is what you get. I showed my life and the reality of my life and it might not be pretty all the time, but it’s who I am and I learned so much from it. I pride myself, and my family, on being an open book. This is what we do. We share our lives on a reality show. When this is our reality, and this is what’s really happening, we show it. I didn’t know the media would be so brutal with it.”

I don’t think it was just the media that was being brutal with it? I really think she just needs to quit talking about this got damn divorce. It’s like she’s trying to brainwash into thinking she really is some nicey-nicey chick who isn’t all about the money and the fame.

Bitch, please.

Vh1 New Show ‘Celebrity Exes’

You know that expression that goes something like, “Don’t air your dirty laundry for everyone to see?”

Well, apparently, this expression is meaningless nowadays and the upcoming reality show, “Celebrity Exes” is here to prove it. Featuring the exes of Eddie Murphy, Jose Canseco, Will Smith, Prince, and R.Kelly, five women are prepared to reveal everything and make a name for themselves outside the shadow of their ex-husbands.

Sounds nice and everything, but aren’t they using the success of their husbands to make a name for themselves with this show? Hence the show’s title, “Celebrity Exes.” This show isn’t just about a bunch of women making a name for themselves who also happened to be divorced from some pretty famous men. We wouldn’t be watching it if we didn’t think some dirt would be shared. Although, I’m certain that isn’t the point of this, right?

Not only that, supposedly the women have been friends for years (is there some type of support group we should know about – exes of celebrity men?) and are very successful in their own way. Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President of Vh1 states, “…These women must re-invent themselves again, stepping out of the long shadows cast by their famous husbands and supporting each other as they define the next stage of their lives.”

One thing we all know for sure that their celebrity ex-husbands certainly won’t be gracing the silver screen any time soon for this show.

The show is set to premier in the summer of 2012.

Ray J and Whitney Houston Sex tape on the market?

Remember when I said that I hoped that there wouldn’t be a Ray J, Whitney Houston sex tape surfacing ‘cuz gawd that would be so sick and wrong? I mean seriously. Nobody wants to see someone who was once alive hitting the skins. Well I am sure there are some freaks out there, but got damn. Well yesterday we heard the rumor that there is a big fat stash of sex tapes featuring Whit and Ray-J in throes of passion and intense freaky deaky boot knockin’.

Well TMZ is reporting that there is no stash of tapes anyways or so says Ray-J’s rep, “The despicable tabloid report released today claiming the existence of a sex tape between Ray J and Whitney Houston is not true … There is no sex tape.”

Well if there is no sexually explicit pics of Whit or any sex tapes in existence, then 10 years down the road when Ray is hurting for bank, we better not see any offers out on the table for NC-17.

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is in Rehab for prescription pills addiction!

Mike The Situation Sorrentino is in rehab for prescription pills. Our friends at Radaronline.com confirmed that the greasy guy with the wash board abs checked himself into rehab for pill addiction.

He released the following statement, “I want to set the record straight. I have voluntarily taken steps to get control of a prescription medication problem I had due to exhaustion. I have spent the past several weeks getting treatment for this problem and recuperating from my work and appearance schedule. I appreciate my fans support and love you guys.”

An insider told Radar that “Mike had become dependent on prescription pills to counter-act his hard partying lifestyle, which included illegal substances. He was in a vicious cycle of not sleeping because of the [drugs] he was taking, so he began using prescription pills to help him sleep. Mike would refer to the prescriptions pills as ‘downers.’ The good news is that he was the one that wanted to get help and checked into rehab. Hopefully with the proper treatment, Mike will be able to lead a sober life.”

So will Mike return to film the sixth season of the Jersey Shore? The source adds that, “It’s unclear right now if Mike will be part of the cast when filming resumes this summer, he has told people he absolutely wants to do it, but it’s just too soon to be able to say definitively if he will be at the shore this summer.”

Because Mike is such a popular part of the show, I highly doubt he’s going to give up any money because of rehab. Radar is also saying that Mike obviously isn’t going to be taking rehab seriously considering he is unwilling to turn down club appearances or any amount of money that supports his lavish lifestyle.

“Mike doesn’t want to give up his paid club promotional appearances: he loves the attention that he gets from the ladies and the money is great. Mike leads a very expensive life and he doesn’t want his lifestyle to suffer because of his decision to go to rehab. He is very upset that stint in rehab has become public knowledge, because he doesn’t want it to affect his bottom line. Mike’s brother handles his club appearances and he has been telling club managers that Mike has no plans on giving up the nightlife.”

That sure sounds like someone who isn’t serious about getting well.

Katy Perry and Baptiste Giabiconi Enjoy private dinner Via Eurostar train

It seems as if those Katy Perry and Baptiste Giabiconi dating rumors are true. Celebuzz is reporting that they got some exclusive dish on Katy’s rumored new beau.

Katy Perry cuddled up to Chanel model Baptiste Giabiconi during a private dinner aboard the EuroStar train from London to Paris on March 19 — and only Celebuzz has the world exclusive photos.

In a move that is bound to spark further talk about a hot new romance, the pair gazed over a cell phone during the two hour trip on the high-speed railway service between the two cities.

Baptiste, 22, and the 27-year-old pop beauty — sporting bright blue hair and transparent lace top — were “very, very cute together,” an onlooker told Celebuzz, exclusively.

Katy looked smitten as she smiled and touched hands with the muscular model, who has been the face of Chanel since 2008, when Karl Lagerfeld proclaimed him as his muse.

The pair also whispered to each other and chatted with friends who were travelling as part of their entourage.

“They very much looked like a couple,” the onlooker told Celebuzz.

The dinner date came 14 months after Baptiste admitted in an interview: “If I could make her (Katy) divorce her husband, I’d marry her.”

First of all, this either is a staged photo op or a photo shot by Perry’s creeper “friend” Markus Molinari because seriously who gets a direct shot of Katy from straight across the got damned table playing with an electronic device as her beau looks on. Mmmhmmm. I highly doubt any paps, fans or other unruly peeps are allowed in Katy’s train car.

Anyone else smell that?

I can smell a PR ploy from a mile away. Eye roll.

REPORT: Jennifer Lawrence Has Secret Romance On Set Of The Hunger Games, Texting Brad Pitt

According to OK! Magazine, Jennifer Lawrence is engaged in a secret romance. Even though she is currently (in real life) dating former X-Men: First Class co-star Nicholas Hoult, Lawrence is also supposedly hooking up with other peeps on the set of THG as well. And from what we know, it can’t be Liam Hemsworth because Miley’s got him by the ball sack AND the bong pipe. That’s a double whammy!

So who is Jen really dating? Was there a secret intimate hotel room rendezvous? According to OK! there was and get this, they don’t even reveal WHO this person is. Can we be anymore vague, people? Eye roll.

Star magazine also has a story about Lawrence getting close to Brad Pitt via text! Wouldn’t that be something? Apparently Brad has been “flirting” with Lawrence ever since they met at the 2012 Academy Awards. Even though Jennifer is probably infatuated with Pitt (as the majority of the world female population is), Star is saying that Brad is infatuated and flirting with The Hunger Games star after they exchanged digits at the Oscars.

Here’s what a source told the tabloid, “Brad hasn’t stopped talking about how gorgeous, poised and talented Jennifer is. Brad is determined to find a project to collaborate on. [However Angelina] warned him to act his age and stop drooling over a girl young enough to be his daughter. She even hit him with the jab, ‘which Jennifer are you talking about?’ Angie absolutely freaked out [finding out they'd been texting].”

I’m sorry but if this was really true, I don’t think that Brad would have any balls dangling between his legs.

Mark Wahlberg To Open Burger Chain in Britain and Ireland?

Mark Wahlberg’s burger chain Wahlburgers was launched last year in Hingham, Massachusetts (the birth place of New Kids on the Block singer Donnie AND brother Paul, who is a chef) and apparently things are going so well there that the fam is taking their high-class burgers to both Britain and Ireland…or so says Mark Wahlberg.

The actor said, “We do higher-end burgers. Yesterday, we sold 1,300. It’s run by my brother, Paul, who is a five-star chef. We’re opening a bunch of them in Britain and Ireland this year.”

Apparently Mark and his bros don’t communicate on the daily because chef Paul’s rep had to shut down Marky’s “news”. There are “no immediate plans for expansion at this time. They’re talking about Boston, but nothing has been set in stone yet.” Perhaps he is just getting a tad ahead of himself with the excitement?

How can you blame him though? He added, “When I first mentioned the idea of Wahlburgers, people were like, ‘Oh my God, that’s a stupid idea.’ “What they don’t realize is how talented my brother is. I would never risk putting my name out there in a way that would end up being bad. You can get people to show up because of the name but they are going to come back because they like the food. A successful burger place takes maybe $2,400 a day. A really successful one does $6,000. We’re making $17,000 a day. There are lines queuing around the corner.”

Alec Baldwin’s Girlfriend Hilaria Thomas Taunted On Twitter

Fans of celebrities definitely have their unique characteristics and when I say this I mean that the fans that truly stan for their celebrity of choice have similar qualities to that of other fans of that same celebrity. Mariah Carey fans are generally all fun-loving, good-hearted, creative and festive people and the majority of them love butterflies. Think about Gaga fans. What words about them come to mind? So now imagine hardcore Alec Baldwin fans. Mmmhmm. Cray Cray.

Ok so Baldwin has been dating hottie yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas for a hot minute, but apparently one particular Twitter user (who goes by the handle @scarfacemadam) has been sending negative and harassing messages to his woman and Alec isn’t having it.

He tweets, “I have some wonderful, fully engaged and, sometimes critical people that I encounter here. Some of them, very few in fact, cross a line and, for example, attack my relationship with my daughter. One person, however, has really gone too far. That person… has entered the Twitter-verse only to harass my girlfriend. Harass in a way that is borderline threatening. I want you to go to her address, and read just a few of her posts, and give her your notice of her behavior.”

Apparently Alec’s order for his Alec Pack have devoured @scarfacemadam. Her Twitter profile has since been deleted.

Don’t mess with Alec, bitches.

Robert DeNiro Offends First Lady at Barack Obama Fundraiser!

Robert De Niro cracked a joke at the fundraiser for Barack Obama at New York’s Greenwich Hotel on Monday night that downright pissed the First Lady Michelle Obama right off!

De Niro was in front of some pretty important peeps including movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and hip-hop supercouple Beyonce and Jay-Z to deliver his speech. While it seemed to be going rather well, before he introduced the First Lady to the stage he shot himself in the foot.

He said, “Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?”

Funny or not, Michelle Obama’s peeps were not happy with the said joke. They went on to tell CNN, “We believe the joke was inappropriate.”

And so, with that…De Niro was forced to release an apology to prevent himself from looking like an even bigger jackass.

He says, “My remarks, although spoken with satirical jest, were not meant to offend or embarrass anyone, especially the first lady.”

Jennifer Aniston Refutes $8,000 Per Month Beauty Regimen

We’ve all heard about Jennifer Aniston’s rumored obsession with dishing out dough on beauty products and services. I think that the last report I heard the girl was digging out $141k a year just on her beauty regime. Somehow I do believe it. I’m sure her hair alone costs her a few grand per month.

Well as for the $141k, she says that claim is “greatly exaggerated.”

Aniston told People, “Although I am a sucker for an amazing moisturizer, love a great facial, have been using the same cleansing bar since I was a teenager and have always been a dedicated tooth-brusher, reports that I am spending eight thousand a month on a beauty regime are greatly exaggerated. By my tally this month I’m in for about two hundred bucks.”

Bitch, please. $200?????? At least give us a more believable number for gawd’s sake. We know damn well that that hairstyle costs more than $200 in itself. And I bet she gets at least one mani-pedi per month.

Eye roll.

Maybe she doesn’t pay this much anymore. Maybe her man does for her?

Yeah. Doubt it.

FIERCE OR FLOP: Chris Brown & Nicki Minaj Right By My Side Collabo

Like it or not, Chris Brown is the artist that peeps (pop, R&B and rap musicians alike) want to work with. Let’s face it, he’s hot and talented! Nicki Minaj picked up on that and thought she needed to get a piece of Breezy too.

In a new mid-tempo synth song “Right By My Side” Nicki takes on the first verse singing that she is not going to live her life without the love of her life by her side. And then Chris chimes in with the second verse singing that he basically wants to get in the sack once again.

It is a pretty solid track and I think this one is going to be successful on radio.

The song is set to be featured on Nicki’s upcoming Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album that is due out on April 3rd.

Take a listen below and then let me know what you think. Is this song fierce or a big fat flop?

Shaq and Hoopz Break Up And He’s Already Moved On!

Shaq dumped Hoopz. Nope, this is no joke. We’ve heard that Shaq had his fun with Hoopz but now he is ready to move on and trust, he has already! About two weeks ago, Shaq told Hoopz he was done with her and you better believe that his human sized sized ex was pissed and security was asked to escort her out of Shaq’s mansion!

A source told MTO that, “Hoopz got emotional, and Shaq had to protect himself [from a lawsuit] . . . so he left the house and had [his security] help Hoopz gather her things and leave.”

So what the heck is Shaq up to now? Well the guy just turned 40. He celebrated his birthday in Vegas and guess what…he’s already got a new chick!

Ouch!

Here is one of my favorite Shaq and Hoopz moments:
