NBC is promoting season five of Celebrity Apprentice as the “toughest season yet,” and we can kind of see why. I mean, who would want to mess with the likes of George Takei, Clay Aiken and Debbie/Deborah Gibson?

You have to feel sorry for Taylor Lautner. No, not because someone faked this People magazine cover story in which he apparently comes out of the closet and is “more liberated, and happier than I’ve ever been” as a result.

Well, here’s a new twist on the Hollywood coming out party. Joining familiar faces like Wanda Sykes, Elton John and Clay Aiken in a new equal-rights PSA for the True Colors Fund is Anna Paquin, who helps introduce the clip by announcing “I’m bisexual and I give a damn.” While this is presumably not news [...]

Going from hometown hopeful to Hollywood hottie is not always a smooth ride for American Idol contestants. From haircuts to diets to porcelain veneers, the Idol kids have undergone some extreme makeovers. See who changed for the better, and who changed for the worse.

It’s Idol mania around here, with both David Archuleta and David Cook launching a chart-assault with their debut albums, and rumors that Kelly Clarkson‘s working on one right now.
