Kelly Clarkson Album Sales Soar After Ron Paul Tweets

Kelly Clarkson's Twitter followers became upset with the first American Idol winner when she said “I love Ron Paul. He’s got my vote,” but those who actually purchase albums stand behind the talented singer.

Sales for Clarkson's new album, Stronger, surged a shocking 192 percent since she Tweeted her support of the conservative Republican Presidential hopeful!

In the past 24 hours, Kelly's record has gone from #41 to #14 on Amazon's Movers & Shakers in Music list.

Good for Kelly! I'm a pretty big fan of her music, so congrats.

Rihanna Causes Magazine Editor to Resign After Racial Slur

Rihanna slammed Dutch magazine Jackie on Twitter after they referred to her as "the ultimate n***abitch" in a recent issue, and now editor-in-chief Eva Hoeke has resigned in response to the controversy.

In a statement published on Facebook, Hoeke claimed that the title of the article was supposed to be a "joke" and that she falsely believed it to be an "acceptable form of slang." She insists there was no malice behind the use of the word, though hundreds have already condemned her in the comments.

This apology only came after Rihanna tweeted that she found the magazine to be disrespectful, desperate, and a "poor representation of the evolution of human rights," among other accusations. (The magazine also referred to RiRi as Jamaican, when she's actually from Barbados--which, you know, doesn't help with their publication's racial sensitivity.)

Rihanna wrote, "That's your contribution to the world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past! You put two words together, with the intent of abasement, that made no sense. Well, with all respect, on behalf of my race, here are my two words for you: F**k you!!"

Her response is excellent because it's not just a glossed-over PR statement, but legitimately pissed-off. And for good reason! A mainstream media publication, at least in the U.S., could never get away with something like this because it easily comes across as too damn, um...what's that word? Oh yeah, offensive.

David Archuleta: Mormon Before Musician

Former American Idol contestant and current Salt Lake City heartthrob David Archuleta announced on Sunday that he's quitting the music business for two years in order to fulfill his obligation to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka, the Mormons).

Mormons require a two-year missionary commitment, which means you can expect to see Dave at your door in the near future. You may see him ringing your bell in an attempt to sell you on the word of Joseph Smith, or your paths may cross when a two-year hiatus from from performing inevitably causes his career to implode and forces him into a life of door-to-door begging. Either way, prepare to be star-struck by a man on a mission!

In all seriousness, though, I wish Dave all the luck in the world. It's rare to see that type of spiritual conviction in entertainers these days. I can only hope that David's fellow Mormon Mitt Romney will follow his example and disappear for a couple years.

Courtney Stodden Spanked By Santa In Creepy Chrstmas Photo Op

The desperate famewhoring continues for the ridiculous PR stunt of a married couple that is Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison. Having already been kicked out of a pumpkin patch for their weird, pedo PDAs, Court and Doug are now setting their creepy sights on a new holiday tradition.

Courtney Stodden and Santa

That's Courtney wearing a bikini in the snow for some reason and reading some of her weird, alliterative Penthouse-letter tweets for her husband who, of course, is dressed as Santa. These two are obviously growing more and more desperate as the spotlight that's been shone on their gross marriage begins to dim. They're trying to score a reality show with ridiculous photo ops like this one, but they'll never get the A-list paychecks they think they deserve.

Normally, I'd say we should all just ignore these two until they go away, but they'll be going away soon enough either way, so we may as well just enjoy the trainwreck.

Nene Leakes Joins Glee, May Become Permanent Cast Member!!

This is one of those rumors that we have to see to believe, but Real Housewives of Atlanta castmember Nene Leakes has joined the cast of Glee! Nene's first episode will air on Jan. 17, her second will air on Jan. 24th!!

Nene will be playing a swim teacher named Rox Washington. She is reportedly having so much fun filming the show that she may be headed back to continue filming more episodes. Blogger Tamara Tattles claims that Leakes' role may be permanent!

Glee is addicted to stunt casting and jumping the shark. It's hard to even take the show seriously when you're watching Gwyneth Paltrow singing on a piano and Britney Spears roaming around in a cheerleader costume.

Jerry Sandusky: Mike McQueary Changes His Story

Mike McQueary claims that he's not sure that he walked in on Jerry Sandusky anally raping a young boy. No, that's not a typo, apparently one can be 'confused' about whether or not they walked in on a 6'5 man raping a young child. The alleged incident allegedly took place in a Penn State shower in 2002.

Mike McQueary

Mike, a Penn State assistant coach, took the stand in a preliminary hearing for two former PSU officials this morning. McQueary said he became suspicious when he heard skin-on-skin slapping sounds coming from one of the showers.

McQueary says he peeked into the shower and personally saw Jerry and the boy naked in the shower together -- with Jerry grabbing the boy's waist from behind, while the boy was facing the wall.

Mike says that he peeked in the shower several times and Jerry and the young boy were separated the last time he had checked.

"I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them. Seeing that they were separated, I thought it was best that I leave the locker room," he explained.

Mike says he told Joe Paterno about the incident the next morning, but didn't use the words "sodomy" or "anal intercourse." McQueary says he felt that telling Penn State's VP Gary Schultz was good enough.

Rodney Atkins Accused of Trying to Smother Wife With Pillow

It almost sounds like the lyrics to a country song...a really bizarre, incredibly messed-up country song.

Word just got out that country singer Rodney Atkins was arrested on November 21 for attempting to smother - and presumably kill - his wife with a pillow. Atkins was reportedly drunk when he took a pillow to his soon to be ex-wife's face in front of their 10 year-old son. He was arrested, but later released on $2,500 bail.

When asked about the incident, Atkins just had his publicist release some BS statement about "thanking his fans," so he's probably guilty as sin. It's okay, some of the best country songs are about life behind bars.

The Duggars Share Photos of Miscarried Baby

Michelle Duggar recently miscarried in her second trimester of pregnancy and held a memorial service at the Duggar family Arkansas church. I suppose that everyone grieves the loss of their 20th child in their own way because Michelle and Jim Bob commemorated their child in a somewhat unique fashion.

As part of the memorial service, the couple shared images of themselves with their miscarried baby, Jubilee Shalom, accompanied by messages like, “There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world.”

Cousin Amy Duggar also tweeted a picture of Michelle holding Jubilee’s hand, with the caption, “RIP precious Jubilee Shalom Duggar! Can’t wait to meet you someday, thank you Lord for giving our family peace.”

An image over-share to the general public? Maybe. But hopefully it’s helped them, at the very least.

Jennifer Aniston: Men's Health Magazine's "Hottest Woman of All Time"

On one hand, I wanna say that being titled The Hottest Woman of All Time is a compliment, on the other hand, it's straight embarrassing. Jennifer Aniston has been named The Hottest Woman of All Time, beating out women who are actually hot.

Jennifer Aniston wrinkles

Now I love me some Jen Aniston because she's a punching bag on the gossip blogs, but I don't agree with her winning this contest, and that's primarily because these sexist rosters of females ranked on stereotypical "hotness" is juvenile and degrading to all involved, even Aniston who claimed the top spot.

A blogger at hollywood.com put it best, saying: "This is a little distasteful -- especially when the magazine took such extensive time explaining how Jennifer Aniston's talent is what makes her hot, rather than her appearance." True.

Check out an excerpt from Men's Health: "Funny is sexy, and Jennifer Aniston is funny. Her down-to-earth persona makes her seem attainable. . . And her all-too-human love life off screen inspires sympathy that not even a string of bland romantic comedies can diminish. Throughout her career Aniston has remained sexy, funny, and unmistakably real.” OUCH! Such bullsh!t.
