Celebrity Teen Idols

It's only been two weeks.

But it's entirely possible that viewers have already been introduced to the 10th American Idol. Might he/she be one of the early favorites listed here?

Travis Orlando: Bronx native, lived in a shelter for years. (AUDITION)
Paris Tassin: Mother to a special needs child. (AUDITION)
Chris Medina: Cares for brain-damaged fiancee, following her tragic car accident. (AUDITION)
Adrienne Beasley: From Kentucky, adopted daughter of two farmers. (AUDITION)
Lauren Alaina: 15-year old Georgia resident, has sung at fundraisers for her ill cousin. (AUDITION)

Who has made the best American Idol impression so far?

Jesse James may have bigger problems than those Nazi pics. Janine Lindemulder, the most unhinged of his ex-wives, was arrested for harassing him.

Jesse and Janine share (and often spar over) a daughter, Sunny. She has served time in prison and has a history of being a real loose cannon.

It was of little surprise, then, that Lindemulder was arrested outside Austin, Tex., this morning on a warrant for harassing Jesse over the phone.

Jesse James' porn star ex-wife has gone off the rails ... again.

Janine was popped by the Hays County Sheriff's Department who had three warrants issued for Janine after Jesse turned over threatening voicemails.

Jesse claims Janine Lindemulder places "chronic harassing telephone calls to his house all hours of the day and night," and has called up to 300 times.

Janine went ballistic over Jesse's decision to relocate to Texas, where his kids could remain close to Sandra Bullock, just after she got out of prison.

Jesse says the calls became "so harassing, abusive and bad," even by her standards, he had to turn over the worst messages to the Austin P.D.

Hope Kat Von D is aware of this guy's (crazy) baggage.

This is both hilarious and incredible.

The following clip is courtesy of a break during Today Show filming in 1994. In it, hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel disagree on the meaning of the "at" symbol and ask producers a question: What the heck is the Internet?!?

It's astounding to think about, really. As recently as 16 years ago, major network anchors had no clue about the World Wide Web. Fast forward fewer than two decades and even Sarah Palin has this thing mastered. Amazing.

What is the Internet?

Following his latest evening of porn star banging, cocaine smoking and hospital visiting, Charlie Sheen checked himself into rehab yesterday.

Problem on the verge of being solved, right. More like: Yeah, right.

Very soon after the actor entered an undisclosed treatment center, he sent a text message to Radar Online editor-in-chief Dylan Howard. It didn't exactly read like a man who has moved past the denial stage.

Charlie Sheen wrote one porn star a $30,000 check this week. It's a small price to pay for crack-smoking company.

"People don't seem to get it," Sheen wrote. "Guy can't have a great time and do his job also?"

As for critics, which include his concerned boss at CBS and 95% of the population, listen up: You're just a "bunch of turds," Charlie added.

The Two and a Half Men star might take issue with the following question even being asked (get clean from what?!?), but you tell us: Can Charlie Sheen get clean?

Oprah has been in the news a lot lately. No, even more than usual.

Welcoming First Lady Michelle Obama to her show, introducing her half-sister and preparing to OWN us all, 2011 has been a banner year for her so far.

Today, however, Winfrey is only in the news because it's January 29th - also Adam Lambert's birthday. Here's wishing the talk show queen a happy 57th!

Oprah. One of few stars famous enough to go by first name only.

Leave a comment with your birthday greetings for this entertainment icon and follow the jump to relive her emotional introduction of her long-lost relative:

Alanis Morissette had it wrong. Rain on your wedding day isn't ironic. Neither are 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

Instead, Kim Kardashian found time this week to provide the best definition yet of this term: acting ashamed of a sex tape during a nationally-televised interview, despite the fact that said interview would NEVER have taken place if not for this sex tape.

Such was the case on Piers Morgan Tonight, as the host asked Kim about her videotaped banging of Ray J.

"There's embarrassment and shame and so much that comes along with it," Kardashian said, simultaneously counting the giant wads of money bank-rolled from the tape in her head.

How did she ever get through the incident that made her famous?

Kim cited the support of ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush, along with her family

"That was something that he really helped me through," she said of Reggie and the video. "And that was what my family was for, as well, so I feel like I've dealt with it, and now I move on from it and I don't really go there."

Incredibly, fake sex tape shame was NOT the most ridiculous thing Kim said during this interview. Have you heard how much she paid for a watch?

Snooki is piling up a pretty long list of Jersey Shore regrets.

We've already seen her get so hammered she stumbled around asking "where's the f*%king beach" when the OCEAN was right behind her. That's bad.

The latest do-over she wishes she had is simpler and somewhat less embarrassing. Given a second chance, she wouldn't have let Vinny "get it in."

Snooki and Vinny Guadagnino in Miami.

"I kind of wish me and Vinny didn't try and have sex, because it was just drama this whole season," she said Thursday on Sirius radio's Morning Mash Up.

The fallout lasted until the current season. "I don't know, it was just very awkward between us. I felt stupid because, you'll see, it's just embarrassing."

Vinny, she guessed, might also wish it had never happened.

"I think he would say that because I got feelings," she said of their No Strings Attached-style arrangement, which didn't pan out quite as they'd hoped.

But all is well that ends well. While Vinny Guadagnino is bringing home other women on the current season of Shore, Snooki has a man to call her own.

"I'm so glad that I met him because he's so down to Earth," she says of her camera-shy boyfriend Jionni LaValle. "I met his family, they're great."

His lack of interest in the spotlight is perfect for Snooki, too: "I don't know if [guys] are here for me, or ... because they want to be on the show."

Very wise. Now if she would just learn how to write a check.

Adam Lambert has made it clear: he only wants one thing for his birthday.

But we're sorry to tell this singer, he's getting something else: a horse of best wishes from THG and its readers.

One of our favorite artists, the former American Idol runner-up turns 29 today. He's recently made news for getting involved in the Teen Mom controversy and he's up for his first Grammy on February 13.

Let's hope he wins, shall we? In the meantime, send in a message for Adam and go through the years with him in the video below:

You're off the hook, Gucci Mane. You no longer possess the most ridiculous tattoo in the history of mankind.

Incredibly, T-Pain has topped that rapper face-scarring ice cream cone by getting a permanent reminder of Facebook on his body. We wish we were making this up, but the artist recently returned from Hawaii with the following tattoo.

Tweeted T-Pain: I get a tatt every time I come to Hawaii. I think ones pretty sweet, unless facebook shuts down.

Right. That's the only thing that would not make it sweet, dude.

Chris Brown is looking to get the restraining order against him lifted. It's been in place since he pummeled Rihanna senseless prior to the 2009 Grammys.

His lawyer, Mark Geragos, told Judge Patricia Schnegg that Brown did 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling and requested that the order be lifted.

“It makes it difficult at award shows and such,” Geragos said.

GOOD DAYS: Now other guys take and leak Rihanna topless pics. Shame.

Judge Schnegg did not immediately grant his request but did suggest a modification of it, pending the approval of Rihanna’s attorney, David Etra.

The decision to modify the restraining order will be filed in court at a later date. The judge did praise Brown again for his commitment, however.

In fact, she was so pleased, she told Brown that he can come in “next time you’re in town” instead of scheduling a future progress report hearing.

To date, Brown has done 581 hours of community labor and domestic violence counseling. Aside from the occasional Raz B feud, he's been great.

He remains on probation through mid-2014.

It's like walking around in my life, and I'm not alive in my life.

So Mary Harvey profoundly stated to Jane Velez-Mitchell during an interview on HLN this week, as Steve Harvey's former lover was asked why she waited so many years to lash out against her husband.

The bitter ex-wife was so rattled by the simple question that she actually apologized to the host for her rambling response, saying she was under a lot of stress. She also complained about her lack of "access" to her son, saying the court gave the comedian custody because Steve said she was a "nobody."

Which either means the judge handling the case was the most unprofessional, star struck man to ever don a robe; or there is A LOT Mary isn't telling us...

Bristol Palin's sex life is a common topic of discussion on celebrity gossip websites. Washington University students don't want to hear about it, though.

At least not in person, for a hefty fee.

The Dancing With the Stars finalist was dropped from a planned February speaking engagement at the St. Louis college following student protests.

Bristol Palin, who got pregnant at 17, was invited by the Student Health Advisory Committee to talk abstinence during Student Sexual Responsibility Week.

But after the student body protested the use of student-generated money to fund her reportedly several thousand dollar fee, her appearance was called off.

"People are angry because of the opposition to Palin's lack of expertise and the high cost she charges," said student Philip Thomas, who started the protest.

Fellow undergrad Ryan McCombe started a Facebook page to protest the speech and gathered several harsh comments about the daughter of Sarah Palin.

"Bristol Palin rose to fame on none of her own merits," wrote one student. "She has absolutely zero credentials in this area, and costs a ton of money."

Added another, "I mean, is Bristol honestly going to get up there and say that she was trying to make a baby and lay back and thought of England?"

"Or will she say that she had sex, without understanding the steps to be taken in order not to become pregnant?" said another anti-Bristol student.

Student advisory president Scott Elman said that the decision for Palin not to appear was "100 percent mutual" between her and the committee.

Hey, at least her new boyfriend will be there to comfort her.

Lea Michele will join Christina Aguilera at Super Bowl XLV.

With the latter singed booked for the national anthem, it's now been confirmed that the Glee star will also be involved in the pregame ceremony. She'll sing "America the Beautiful," joining Faith Hill, Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Marc Anthony, Ray Charles and Vicki Carr as the only artists ever to do so for the occasion.

Michele also covers the latest issue of Cosmopolitan. Click on photos of her from the magazine now, while we go learn 25 Fun Ways to Go Nude...

Rihanna might want to think twice before sexting topless photos of herself to a star athlete. Or maybe she was totally planning on them leaking online.

Who knows, but it's definitely her in the pics - and they're pretty racy!

We'll break it down for you real quick. Here's the deal. The story is that after Rihanna and Chris Brown split up, she began "dating" a popular sports star.

They were into sexting (mutually at least, unlike Brett Favre and Jenn Sterger) but, as luck would have it, dude shared the pics and they made it online.

Don't you hate that? Peep one of the (hot) sexted images here ...

RIHANNA TOPLESS: And sexting! A sports figure! Who shared it with enough of his boys that it eventually leaked online! That's what happens, ladies!

The identity of the baller who received this and similar Rihanna pictures is unclear, but this was supposedly before her year-long relationship with Matt Kemp.

She was linked to Rashard Lewis in mid-2009. Just one theory.

In any case, it's not THAT bad, nor is it the first time we've seen Rihanna in such a position (thanks, Chris). So don't expect much fallout. Just standard male lust.

Brad Womack and Bachelor fans have fallen for Emily Maynard, whose former fiancee, race car driver Ricky Hendrick, died in a plane crash while she was pregnant.

On next week's episode, Emily's moving story will be on display again as their date - surely by pure coincidence - hits close to home at a NASCAR track.

Check out how Emily Maynard reacted to the setting of the group date, and how Brad Womack treated the potentially uncomfortable situation, below:

The Bachelor Sneak Peek: An Emotional Race

"I know there has been a lot of talk and concern recently over the upcoming episode of The Bachelor with the NASCAR-themed group date," Emily tells People.

"Although I appreciate everyone's concern, I ask that you reserve judgment until [it airs]. As you'll see, the experience actually helped me gain some closure."

She even had a little fun behind the wheel.

"The first few laps were for Ricky," the Southern Belle said. "And the last lap was for me. And I'm just really ready to move on and find love again."

What, did you expect Charlie Sheen to check into rehab? Clearly, you don't know this man very well (be grateful).

Multiple sources confirm that the actor has left Cedars-Sinai Medical Center following his latest bender, is resting at home and will be on the set of Two and a Half Men Tuesday.

All in all, just your basic midweek gathering for the star.

Why won't Sheen consider rehab? Simple, a friend tells People:

"In his eyes, he thinks, 'I'm having fun, so what? I'm making $2 million a week, the show has the best ratings, I show up for up work. What's the problem?' He loves the attention, he loves to shock people, he loves that he gets away with all of this."

There is no morality clause in Sheen's CBS contract, so there's little the network can do when incidents such as this occur.

Moreover, what would be its incentive behind taking action? Two and a Half Men remains the highest-rated comedy on television, raking in over $200,000 per 30-second commercial. That money is fueled by Sheen, who is beloved and punctual on set, and helps support a crew of over 300 people.

The aforementioned magazine insider refers to Charlie's "ongoing problem" and says "people are rallying around him to intervene," but they'd have to be higher than Sheen to think it would do any good.

Sit down and cease operating all heavy machinery, Justin Bieber fans. In the following video, this singer is shirtless.

Oh, yes, you better Belieb it!

A camera captured Justin's every move in between takes during a recent magazine photoshoot. According to the narrator at the outset of these clips, the 16-year is texting Selena Gomez in between takes. It's unclear how anyone can know that, but it would be a safe assumption.

Take a deep breath and click away, fans. Play it as many times as you'd like...

After years apart, Ted Williams was reunited with his 90-year old mother on national television last month. It was a sweet, albeit fleeting, moment of hope in the tale of this begger-turned-celebrity.

Sadly, in the days after Williams was thrust into the spotlight, he relapsed, got into an argument with his daughter, checked into rehab and then promptly exited the treatment facility against doctor's orders.

Julia Williams is now urging her son to return.

"I'm very sorry that he left, and I'm very upset," she tells People. "Certainly I want him to go back. He needs help."

Reportedly, Williams couldn't handle life at Origins Recovery Center due to the presence of cameras outside the facility and the over-reliance on medication inside of it. Julia thinks Ted has returned to California and has heard he's planning to record children's books.

She doesn't have hope that he'll remain clean: "I know he doesn't stick at things for long. Whatever it is, he soon tires of it. He thinks he can make it on his own, without rehab. And I'm sure he can't."

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt insist on torturing us with music. It's pretty funny if nothing else, even if the gruesome twosome didn't intend it to be.

A year after the debut of her gawdawful album Superficial, Montag has just released "Heartbeat," a new, mediocre-at-best synthesized dance track.

"Touch me," she sings, or attempts to in vain. "Let me know. Touch me. I don’t need. You enjoy myself. Enjoy myself to the music. Heartbeat."

Heidi Montag - Heartbeat

"I put my heart into this," she tells People. "I want to become a galaxy star."

Whatever that is, we wouldn't recommend holding your breath, girlfriend.

As you may have heard (with the ear scars to prove it), Spencer Pratt has some tunes of his own floating around cyberspace. Of the rap variety.

His latest effort, which you can listen to after the jump, isn't quite as bad as the others. Of course, the bar was set preposterously low, so ...

Shortly after his chicken wing-themed jam, "Ain't No Thang," and his ode to getting paid, "I Get Doe," comes his latest effort, "Go to Work."

Ya Boy and Pete G, whoever they are, collaborated with him on it, and likely regret having done so now. Here it is if you can stomach it ...

Spencer Pratt - Go to Work (Feat. Ya Boy & Pete G)

After having a few weeks off to celebrate the birth of his baby boy, Orlando Bloom was back at work shooting a commercial in Santa Monica when we spotted him the other day.

Tracy Morgan has made a living out of saying ridiculous things. Seriously, check out his abundance of hilarious, non-sensical 30 Rock quotes.

But the actor likely went too far tonight, on live, national television no less.

On TNT's pregame show, airing from the court of Madison Square Garden prior to the Heat/Knicks game, analyst Charles Barkley asked Morgan if Sarah Palin was good looking. He replied in the affirmative ("oh, yeah, absolutely"), and then added a line about the what kind of "material" this reality star is. Watch the clip for yourself.

We have an update on the condition of Charlie Sheen, and it isn't pretty.

First, 19-year old porn star Melanie Rios is telling friends she was partying alongside Kacey Jordan this morning and was with the actor when 911 was called. She is reportedly seeking representation for the inevitable media storm on the way.

Second, sources tell TMZ that Sheen got wasted for hours with these adult film actresses and a business associate, only for someone to eventually show up to his home with "bricks" of cocaine.

However, despite all these substances in his body, Sheen was not sent to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for an overdose, but rather for an "ulceration," as his "red blood cell count was low and his white blood cell count was high,” an insider tells Radar Online.

Meanwhile, Sheen's personal doctor, Paul Nassif, is the one who called 911 shortly before 7 a.m. Witnesses say the actor was "not alert" when taken out of his home.

For three hours early this morning, someone present at the gathering says Sheen was smoking cocaine out of a pipe and "critiquing" porn in his home theater, leaving his companion "surprised" by the depth of his knowledge on the subject. Seriously.

Brooke Mueller, Denise Richards and Sheen's parents all arrived at the hospital today. The Two and a Half Men star is expected to stay overnight.

One of the women partying at the all-night soiree that ended with Charlie Sheen hospitalized was Kacey Jordan, according to new reports.

Kacey is, if you can possibly fathom this, a porn star.

Jordan, 22, was supposedly contacted by a third party on behalf of the star, who invited her over to his home Tuesday night to "party."

AIR(HEAD) JORDAN: Sorry. Maybe Charlie likes Kacey for her brains.

When Jordan arrived at Charlie Sheen's place, the Two and a Half Men star told her he was a huge fan and had been "searching for her for a year."

Fast forward a few days and the show almost became One and a Half Men as Charlie began having severe abdominal pain and peeps called 911.

Four other women were at Sheen's home (no word if Bree Olson was among them) when Jordan showed up. Sheen's shirt was stained with wine.

This was Tuesday. Jordan left Sheen's home Wednesday afternoon, but Charlie was "still partying" as she walked out the door. Guy goes ALL out.
