Lady Gaga: Bulimic and Bullied As a Teen

Lady Gaga may seem to have all the confidence in the world now, but she enjoys reminding us that there was once a time when she wore pants and only owned one or two wigs (Just like the rest of us!), and that she often struggled with her self-esteem, like so many of her fans.

In a recent interview at a young women's conference, Gaga detailed her adolescent struggles with bulimia and bullying. “I started having trouble with girls in middle school," said the Gaga. She went on to detail the moment at the end of her senior year of high school when she confronted the head mean girl. "I said, ‘I am always nice to you. What is your problem with me? Maybe if you just tell me, we can figure this out.’ And she said something like ‘Well, I just don’t know why you’re so serious about music.’”

More surprising is Gaga's revelation about her eating disorder, which she revealed for the first time in the interview. “I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I’m not that confident," she said, adding that the carb-heavy Italian diet she grew up on made it even harder to attain her ideal weight, and she stopped forcing herself to vomit only because "it made [her] voice bad."

Props to the Mother Monster for speaking out. The bulimia revelation, in particular, couldn't have been easy and if it gets one young woman to seek help, then Gaga deserves our admiration. That said, her efforts to relate to her fans often smack of try-hard. When she tells the story about the girl who bullied her for liking music, or whatever, I think Stefani's remembering an episode of Glee rather than her own childhood.

Russell Brand and Katy Perry: Divorce Finalized, Katy Signs Papers With Smiley Face

It's officially over: Russell Brand and Katy Perry terminated their 14 month marriage yesterday by signing court papers that basically stipulated they'd both leave the marriage the same as they came into it. The split seems to be completely mutual and amicable which has led many to wonder why Katy signed her court documents with a smiley face.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand: Happier Times

Putting a happy little emoticon on your divorce decree could seem like a serious "eff you" to your ex, but there's no reason to assume that's the case here. As we found out yesterday, Russell did the stand-up thing by declining to pursue half of Katy's massive fortune, and there's been no talk of cheating or abuse. My guess is, the smiley face is just force of habit for the perpetually bubbly Katy.

The settlement was reached in record time for a Hollywood divorce. The couple agreed to evenly divide all property that they acquired together during the marriage. There are no kids involved, of course, though Katy and Russell did adopt a cat, Krusty, who's fate remains undetermined. I hope they don't do the shared custody, every other weekend thing. That can seriously mess a cat up.

Kylie Jenner: Alex Roldan and Khloe Kardashian Tweet Creates Controversy

A few weeks ago, the blogosphere was abuzz with news that Alex Roldan, a former hairstylist of Kris Jenner's, was Khloe Kardashian's biological father. Yesterday, the entire Internet freaked out when Kylie Jenner posted a Twitpic that seemed to confirm the rumor.

Kylie tweeted the above shot of Alex and Khlow with the caption, "First official photo of my sister and her dad! Like father like daughter!" Because there was nothing in the picture or caption to indicate that she was kidding, gossip bloggers (and fans of Khloe) assumed that their dreams had come true, and they finally had confirmation that the only Kardashian with a personality was, in fact, not a real Kardashian.

About an hour later, Kylie realized the confusion she'd caused and tweeted, "It was a joke everyone!" but it was too late; the damage had been done. Now, everyone wants to know why Khloe was hanging out one-on-one with the dude who's rumored to be her real dad. My guess is the Kardashians have decided to exploit the Khloe paternity controversy the same way they exploit everything else and Khloe met with Alex to film a special "Who Is Khloe's Father?" episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians in which it's revealed at the end that she's, like, totally a real Kardashian, after all.

Karl Lagerfeld: "Adele Is Beautiful!"

Usually, when one celebrity accidentally offends another one (particularly with regards to appearance) they issue an empty apology a few days later in the interest of PR. But Karl Lagerfeld really doesn't give a sh!t (much like the honey badger) so when he retracted his controversial statement about Adele's weight, I actually believe it was sincere.

"I'd like to say to Adele that I am your biggest admirer. Sometimes when you take a sentence out of the article it changes the meaning of the thought," Lagerfeld said in an interview with Metro yesterday. "Adele is a beautiful girl. She is the best. And I can't wait for her next CD."

Lagerfeld went on to describe Adele as his "favotrite singer." He also detailed his own struggles with weight loss, in an effort to show that he sympathizes with the overweight, but really the comment just made him sound even more dickish. Anytime someone says, "Hey, I know what it's like to struggle with your weight, I lost 100 pounds last year!" all they're really saying is, "Be more like me, fatty." Anyway, it's nice that Karl tried to apologize.

Lindsay Lohan Looked Rough at amFAR Benefit

In the interest of full disclosure, I'll admit that I usually think Lindsay Lohan looks sorta hot even when she's at her most cracked-out, but even I'm having a hard time putting a positive spin on these photos.

Lindsay Lohan Cracked Out Photo

This is Lindsay at a benefit in New York last night, and apparently she's really been throwing herself into her work at the LA County Morgue, because she looks like a freakin' corpse. I don't wanna make any assumptions here but I'm going to, anyway: this girl is high, and wearing a wig, and probably wasn't even invited to this event. Somehow she managed to slip past security, but it's probably only because they were afraid if they laid a hand on her, she'd hit the ground like a ton of freckled bricks.

On the plus side, despite the fact that she's clearly loaded, looks disturbingly like her mother, and is rocking some weird, purplish hands, Linds still looks pretty good from the neck down. I guess what I'm saying is...I'd still hit it.

Ke$ha Without Makeup: Looking Better, Still Annoying

Following the new "make-under" trend, Ke$ha appears in the new issue of Glamour without the pound of glittery face paint and obnoxious white girl rap that have made her famous. She looks better than expected, but don't worry - she's still incredibly annoying!

Ke$ha Without Makeup

"I'm just a ballsy motherf--ker," Ke$ha says early in the interview, because apparently she likes when I punch things. "I'm not afraid of pushing boundaries. That's what you have to do to become an icon." Yes, Ke$ha wants to become an icon. When you finish laughing, read on, it gets worse.

Asked about her relationship with the opposite sex (which is men, apparently) Kesh-nasty says, "I destroy men on a weekly basis. It's like a hobby. I'm like a praying mantis. They f--k me, and then I eat them." Look out, men! Ke$ha will eat you after you f*ck her...but that's actually a better fate than a lifetime of being made fun of by your friends.

Yes, I'm making fun of Ke$ha's appearance despite the fact that she actually looks okay in one of the above photos, but it's not like she tweeted that picture. It's still in freakin' Glamour which means that instead of spending three hours bedazzling her eyebrows they spent six hours on airbrushing. Sorry, K-dolla sign. Come out with an album that doesn't make us wanna put sharp things in our ears, and maybe the whole world will stop making fun of you.

Taylor Swift and Eddie Redmayne Breakup

Yes, Taylor Swift was dating some British actor named Eddie Redmayne, and yes, she's been dumped again. At this rate, she'll never run out of new song material.

According to Us Weekly, Taylor and Eddie met while she was in London auditioning for the film version of Les Miserables. The two hit it off, Taylor "developed feelings for him fast" and "loved the image of a British boyfriend,” but when she didn't land the part, Eddie decided he wasn't feeling a long distance relationship, and dropped Tay Tay like a hot rock. Dumped and fired on the same day! Knowing Taylor, she went home and wrote 4,000 songs about the experience.

From the sound of it, Taylor and Eddie weren't dating very long, (my guess would be he didn't even consider her his girlfriend), but still, getting dumped, like, 15 times in the past year has gotta sting. Guess she has one more reason for those teardrops on her guitar, or some dumb crap like that.

Courtney Stodden: "So Wet" In New Commercial

If your problem with this year's Super Bowl commercials was that none of them were bizarrely creepy enough, Courtney Stodden has got you covered.

Courtney Stodden Commercial Still

The "17 year-old" child bride/spotlight hooker/professional jailbait recently filmed a commercial for one of those scammy "free" credit score companies in which she plays a mermaid snagged by a couple walking ethnic stereotypes pretending to be fishermen. If you must, you can check out the spot here. Or, you can just trust us that the following run-down (unbelievable as it may seem) is accurate:

Basically, the ad features an astoundingly offensive caricature of a black teen talking to his friend (who is, of course, a heavily-accented Asian kid) while fishing. They complain about how difficult it is to catch any fish and how much they can't wait to "score." Just as they're about to give up, they snag mermaid Courtney, who exclaims (I kid you not), "OMG, I'm so wet!" while "seductively" shaking water off her breasts.

Yup, "I'm so wet." Yes, she's 17. So many things wrong with this commercial I don't even know where to start, but I think my biggest beef is that it's just too damn subtle.

Kim Kardashian: Religious Act Is All To Impress Tim Tebow?

This day has been filled with so many stories about what a dumbass Kim Kardashian is, that I had a hard time settling on just one or two. Fortunately, after a while, the pieces started to come together and a bigger picture began to emerge. All of Kim's recent BS: the Bible study group, becoming "church buddies" with Leann Rimes, petitioning the judge in her divorce to keep cameras out of the courtroom...it all points to one thing - she's trying to bang Tim Tebow.

Kim Kardashian Sparkly PhotoTim Tebow Photo

No, really. This isn't a dumb rumor like the Katy Perry/Tebow thing. We actually have reason to believe that Kim is trying to sack Tim (tee hee). “Kim has a big crush on Tim,” a friend recently told The Enquirer. “She says he’s not only very handsome but seems like a guy with really strong values.” For his part, “Tim’s been made aware of Kim’s crush, and although flattered, he’s not interested,” says a source.

I believe it. Kim's probably thinking that though he's not black, he is a professional athlete, and he'd be great for ratings. Two out of three ain't bad. What she forgets is that Tim is such a devout Christian that he's still holding his V-card, and he's probably not looking to hand it over to a twice-divorced sex tape star. It does matter how many cross necklaces she wears in public or "Off to church with the girls" tweets she posts, she won't be Tebowing with Tim anytime before the second coming.

Maci Bookout and Kyle King Breakup

Well, it looks like there's another single Teen Mom in the world. Former stars of the trash-tastic reality show Maci Bookout and Kyle King have decided to call it quits after nearly two years of dating.

Fans of the show may recall Maci constantly pressuring Kyle to put a ring on it and put a baby in her. According to insiders, that pressure eventually drove Kyle away. "Maci wanted something way more serious," says one source. More serious, apparently, than sharing an apartment and raising a kid together. Ah, it's fun to play house, but all games get old after a while.

The source claims that Maci "always wanted more, more, more" from Kyle, and adds, "It's really sad because they love each other, but she pushed him away." Yeah these Teen Mom chicks have a tendency to do that. Maci joins the ever-growing list of co-stars such as Amber Portwood and Jenelle Evans who have had difficulty making their post-baby relationships work. How long before MTV throws them all in one house for a spin-off?
