JCPenny's decision to team up with popular television host Ellen DeGeneres has angered the conservative media watchdog group One Million Moms... again. According to the "Today Show," members of the Christian organization are completely appalled and offended by a recent JC Penny Christmas commercial featuring the quirky comedian having a humorous tête-à-tête with three of Santa's elves. While One Million Moms insist that the ad is completely inappropriate because it includes many slight yet offensive side jokes (such as poking fun at the elves' heights), many people believe the group is merely still angered by the fact that JC Penny has hired an open homosexual spokeswoman to head its campaign.

Late Wednesday evening (Dec. 5), the cargo ship Baltic Ace sank after violently colliding with the Corvus J container ship in the treacherous North Sea miles off the coast of the Netherlands. Recently released infra-red pictures taken by the Royal Netherlands Navy capture the stunning scene as rescue missions manage to pull 13 surviving crew members from the icy cold waters. While there are so far five deaths accounted for, six men of the 24-member crew are still missing at sea. The Dutch Coastguard reports that the rescue operation has since been called off, considering the chances of the remaining missing crew members actually being alive at this point are "virtually zero."

Following the devastating murder-suicide involving NFL linebacker Jovan Belcher and his 22-year-old girlfriend Kasandra M Perkins, a young daughter is left to grow up without the love and support of a mother and father.

The Recording Academy officially announced its Grammy Nominations for 2013 Wednesday evening (Dec. 5) - and the hugely successful pop megastar Justin Bieber didn't make the cut. The Biebs' manager Scooter Braun was pretty upset about the Grammy snub, and recently vented out his frustrations on Twitter, slamming the Recording Academy for completely "blowing it." Read More »
A bogus Twitter hoax has caused viral hysteria once again - this time involving rapper Eminem's teenage daughter Hailie Jade Mathers and pop country songstress Taylor Swift. According to reports, 16-year-old Mathers allegedly tweeted the 22-year-old starlet on Monday (Dec. 3), exclaiming that she better "stop whoring around" with the "love of her life" (referring to One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles). The fake Twitter account even sent out an official apology following the viral Swift rant! But now reports confirm that it wasn't young Mathers who sent out the harsh tweets, but an impersonator (who quickly disabled the bogus Twitter account and quickly dissolved into cyber world oblivion). It was pretty odd that the daughter of a controversial "bad boy" rapper would be a diehard fan of the pop-boy band 1D, anyway! Read More »
The beautiful and talented Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had her first onscreen kiss with actor Hrithik Roshan in the hit 2006 film "Dhoom 2." Now years later, the 39-year-old starlet (considered by some "the most beautiful woman in the world") admits that she still feels uncomfortable taking part in such intimate scenes. It doesn't help that after her mini-make out sesh with Roshan hit the big screen in 2006, Bachchan was met with much backlash and even received legal threats for her "inappropriate" public behavior. Bachchan initially had doubts signing up for "Dhoom 2" specifically because of the kissing scene, and much of India's media apparently agreed that the actress should have stepped away from such controversial a lip-lock.

Actor Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife Brandi Glanville has always felt some bitterness towards pop-country songstress LeAnn Rimes - and now the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star has even more to fume about considering she accuses Rimes of letting her 9-year-old son get ahold of some laxatives while under his stepmom's care. During a recent interview with Us Weekly, Glanville insists that her young son Mason mistook a laxative lying out openly on the floor as a skittle, and got extremely sick after consuming it. While Rimes' reps deny such accusations, it is the 30-year-old singer's hubby Cibrian that is really lashing out against his own ex-wife's seedy claims. Read More »
Apparently Hollywood BFFs Rihanna and Katy Perry currently aren't talking to one another - rumors have it that the songstresses are feud and talking smack about each other's controversial boyfriends, Chris Brown and John Mayer! Perry evidently believes that Brown doesn't deserve a second chance with the "Diamonds" star considering his violent actions back in 2009 - the "Fireworks" singer doesn't think that any woman should tolerate such behavior (even if the man has "changed" for the better). Of course RiRi wasn't about to let such remarks fly without a retaliation - sources confirm that the Barbadian songstress insists Perry shouldn't talk, since her current beau Mayor is a complete sleazeball! Read on for the dramatic details involving the BFF spat. Read More »
