Selena Gomez went to rehab
And the streak continues… One after another, child star rehab. The latest: Selena Gomez. Her publicists have released a statement: "Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse." According to TMZ Full Story
Baby’s first mugshot!
It’s an important day in every child star’s life – the mugshot…and we get two of them! He’s smiling in the straight-on shot. But he gave us a pout in the side angle too. I was worried we wouldn’t see JB’s signature facial expression. You think someone told him to smile? Because this is the photo you’re going to see a hundred times today around the world. Full Story
JB eggs
TMZ reports that Justin Bieber egged his neighbour’s house. There’s video with audio. This f-cking punk… I don’t want to talk about why he did it because we all know why. He’s a PUNK. No discussion/debate necessary. Full Story
Shia says Shia is retiring
He plagiarised. We criticised. He apologised. Again we criticised. So now he’s euthanised his career. Shia LaBeouf says he’s retiring. He made the announcement on Twitter: In light of the recent attacks against my artistic integrity, I am retiring from all public life. Full Story
The Family Cyrus
As Lainey said last week, Miley surged in 2013. The music stands. It stands up alongside Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Lorde, and any pop album put out this year. Although Miley’s been famous for a long time, this is the year she actually arrived. Full Story
Mac Pizza

Macaulay Culkin is in a band. According to Page Six they call themselves The Pizza Underground and all their songs are about pizza. I’m not quite sure whether or not this is for serious or if they’re f-cking around. But here’s what they sound like: The Pizza Underground Demo by The Pizza Underground Full Story
Dear Gossips,
"It's not that what he says is so incredible, it's how many people don't know that this exists." -- Duana, after reading the candid new Joe Jonas interview with Vulture posted last night.
Pffft. After so many Disney examples, how could they not know that this exists? Well, if that's your position, is it willful ignorance then, the ones who still decide for their children to move forward in the direction of fame? Reminds me of a quote attributed to Iris Burton who specialised in child stars. Her client list included Kirsten Dunst, Drew Barrymore, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, and, most notably, the Phoenixes, Joaquin and, of course, River. That’s quite a track record – and you can read from that any way you want. Burton once declared that Read Full Intro
Justin Bieber thinks he’s Mimi
Justin Bieber is on tour in China. China is also where those GIANT HORNETS have been hanging out, killing people. You do with that information what you will. Here we are talking about how JB went sightseeing and hit up the Great Wall. Where, instead of walking, or even running, because he’s just 19, and obviously infirm, he decided to ride on the shoulders of his bodyguards instead. Full Story
Willow Smith’s English accent summer fling
Posted by Lainey
I am officially an old crusty c-nt. Because …I mean… I can’t with this. Can.NOT. How do we do when we’re dealing with a 12 year old? No one wants to be unkind to a 12 year old. Not even Alec Baldwin? OK, maybe Alec Baldwin. But most of us don’t want to be unkind to a 12 year old. Full Story
You must Believe...and then Delete
Textbook. Again. The exceptions are the ones who DON’T f-ck up, remember. And there are fewer and fewer and fewer of them. Then again, it depends on your definition of f-cking up. If they’re millionaires many times over, that may not qualify as a f-ck up, at least not yet. By Justin Bieber’s standards, being rich means he’s not a mess. Full Story
Justin Bieber’s heroic recovery
Our hero, Justin Bieber, God’s special gift, having spent part of last night under medical supervision, has been released, and was photographed outside his hotel this morning... With a cry-face on. The agency caption to these shots is hilarious: Bieber has to be “restrained” by his bodyguard from attacking. Full Story
Justin Bieber’s heroic evening

Wenn, FameFlynet
Justin Bieber was criticised earlier this week for starting late in London -- reportedly 2 hours delayed for “technical issues” -- and this just after he went out in a gas mask and complained on Twitter about people being mean to him. But he showed up on time, even two minutes early!, for his next show! We should recognise him for this. Full Story
Don’t focus on the positive

Duana says kill their dreams. Me, I say forget about following your dreams. During a recent interview with The Globe & Mail about success and achievement, I noted how dumb it was that “follow your dreams” is dispensed as advice more often than “work hard”. Full Story
Fourteen & Open-mouthed
Posted by Lainey
Last year for Jacek's birthday (on April 1), I dressed up as Hit Girl. Last year I was into Kick-Ass and Chloe Moretz. Then I interviewed her at Comic-Con and realised she's predictably and disappointintly yet another child star robot, programmed for tv friendly precociousness from 8-12 and early maturation from 13 onwards.
