Continuing the series How TV Ruined Your Life, we examine our concepts of love and how television has influenced that.
The message is a little bit depressing (okay, a lot depressing in some parts) but it is still funny because it’s true.
I sat here watching the video and thinking about my own concepts of love and [...]

Teen Moms: Addicted to Surgery
Teen Mom has made eight young women famous beyond their wildest dreams. But, as stars have learned time and time again, fame can lead to an unhealthy obsession with looking perfect.
According to a source, Teen Mom Amber Portman has ?gone Hollywood,? and is planning to spend $50,000 on a head-to-toe plastic surgery makeover, adds a confidante, so that she can look like her idol, Marilyn Monroe. ?She sees herself as having star potential,? says the source, explaining that Amber?s planned makeover will include liposuction, a nose job and breast implants. ?When all of her surgery is done, Amber thinks she?ll be all ready to pose for Playboy,? the confidante shares.
While star Farrah Abraham has always been pretty and popular, her friend says Farrah lost some of her confidence after seeing herself on TV and became ?obsessed? with her appearance. ?She is always talking about what else she can fix,? says the pal. ?She talks about her face, her nose, her lips. It was like the boob job was just the beginning.?
Meanwhile, it seems unlike her fellow Teen Moms, Kailyn Lowry doesn?t want lipo or plastic surgery. ?She loves running on the treadmill,? says Kailyn?s friend. ?She wants to do it the natural way.?
And for Kailyn, that also means no fad diets. Already, she has lost five pounds by working out and eating in moderation. While she?d like to reach her goal weight by the end of April, she?s not obsessing. ?She doesn?t care about weight on a scale as much as how she feels,? says her pal.

Kim Zolciak Won't Speak to NeNe Leakes Ever Again!!!
Kim Zolciak is ready to blow. Because she's very pregnant? Sure.
But mostly because she's just so darn angry at castmate NeNe Leakes.
"NeNe has problems. I never want to speak to her again," Zolciak told Life & Style this week, following the "Free Sweetie" radio campaign launched by Leakes, in which she hands out t-shirts/posters on behalf of Zolciak's assistant.
On The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim and NeNe often got into it over the former's treatment of Sweetie, as Zolciak says of the campaign: "It's disgusting."
Leakes, who is engaged in a separate feud with Star Jones, is simply a "liar," Kim tells the tabloid. And Kim has "a problem with liars."
How does NeNe feel about her Bravo rival? She makes it clear when asked about Zolciak's impending child: "I'm not interested in seeing the baby, and I have no plans to send a gift. Absolutely no plans at all."
Britney Spears Models For Dolce & Gabbana
In music and in fashion, Britney Spears is back on top.
She’s not renowned for stepping out in high-fashion threads (she prefers the hooded sweatshirt and jeans look, y'all), but she sure looks the part if she tries.
Case in point? Sexy ensembles from Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana in a new set of promotional ads for the company. See Britney Spears pictures below:
“We love Britney Spears and we love to dance to her new songs! We can’t wait to hear the whole album,” the design duo told the Telegraph (UK).
“She has always been among our favourite artists because she has been able to remain true to herself and to her style throughout the years."
"With her music she influenced and inspired generations of people for more than 10 years, and we can’t but congratulate her for this achievement.”
Indeed. She looks a little confused in the first image above, but that's pretty much par for the course these days. Confused but oh-so-sensual.

Will Arnett To Co-Star In NBC's Emily Spivey Comedy Pilot
NBC's untitled Emily Spivey comedy pilot is building a star-studded cast. Arrested Development alum Will Arnett has closed a deal to join Christina Applegate and Maya Rudolph in the project, executive produced by Saturday Night Live honcho Lorne Michaels. The project, written by former SNL scribe Emily Spivey, is described as an irreverent look at parenthood through the POV of an acerbic working mother (Applegate) -? who never thought she?d be a mom -? along with her stay-at-home husband (Arnett) and opinionated parents. Emmy nominee Arnett, who recently co-created/toplined Fox's comedy Running Wilde, had planned not to do a pilot this season despite being approached for several projects but liked Spivey's script. Arnett, repped by WME and Principato-Young, also has a relationship with Michaels as he has been recurring on the Michaels-produced NBC series 30 Rock.

Chris Jericho: I Joined 'Dancing With the Stars' to Make My Son Smile
Filed under: Dancing With The Stars, Features
Exclusive: Pro wrestler Chris Jericho guest blogs about why he joined 'Dancing With the Stars.'A lot of a people have been asking me why I decided to do 'Dancing With the Stars.' There are many reasons, and the feeling I had Monday night when I finished in first place was one of them. (Technically I finished in a three-way tie for first, but that's nitpicking now, isn't it?)
After a case of the jitters in week one, I was ecstatic with my performance in week two. I really felt in the groove, in the pocket and in the moment. I also felt like I was wearing a World War II army helmet with all of the goop and greasy-kid stuff that was squelched (fun word!) in my hair.
But that's part of the fun of 'DWTS,' isn't it? Every day is a veritable Halloween, where everyone can wear as much spandex, rhinestones, guyliner and hair products as they want and still look somewhat cool doing so. It's the epitome of show bizness, baby!
Coming Soon: The Real Housewives of Toronto?!?
Thank goodness.
The Real Housewives of D.C. might be no more, but Bravo viewers need not worry that they'll suffer through a decreased number of installments in this franchise. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that casting is underway for The Real Housewives of Toronto.
It's unclear if this series will receive an official greenlight, or if it will air in the United States if it ever does go forward.
But let's hope so, right? As the recent actions of Teresa Giudice prove, these are women that absolutely deserve the fame and money that comes along with their own show.

If we didn?t know better ? and by ?better? we mean the fact Peter Andre is currently in a relationship with Elen Rivas ? we could have sworn that Amy Childs and Peter Andre were sharing passionate embrace during a night out in Essex.
However, we are reliably informed that the Only Way Is Essex star and the Australian singer ? who were both being filmed for the hit reality TV show - are just good friend and Pete was actually at Sugarhut to watch his brother DJ.
However, an onlooker at the club told the Daily Star Sunday, ?No one could quite believe what they were seeing.
?Amy was all over Peter and he was loving the attention like a kid in a sweet shop. It was as if they were already a couple.
?You would never have guessed he had a girlfriend from the way they were behaving and giggling at each other.?
That being said Childs wasted no time in taking to her Twitter to defend the rumours, ?Don?t believe what you read in the papers today xx? she said.

Love & Hip Hop Recap - Episode 3 - Rock The Boat
This guy came for the fight… but stayed for the cocktails.
This week’s Love & Hip Hop begins out in the wilds of Jersey. The ladies are at Chrissy?s house getting some spa time. There are some ulterior motives to the ladies’ night in: Chrissy and Emily also want to get to the bottom of Olivia saying she?s dating Darrelle Revis. This is going to be the most luxurious confrontation ever.
As we learned last week, Darrelle — who is one of Emily?s styling clients — hasn?t seen Olivia in months. At least that’s what he says. And that’s what she says. Somebody is lying. When Emily starts to talk, we get to see Olivia?s reaction go from this:
To this:
? it certainly looks like the expression of someone who has been caught lying. Olivia says that they started as a couple, but have decided to ?slow it down.? “Haven’t seen each other in months” is so slow they’ll be 80 by the time they move in together. Chrissy interviews that things sound like they haven?t slowed down. They?ve stopped.
Olivia goes to where I guessed she would (I love being right) and confronts Emily about Fab not telling anyone that he?s got a girlfriend. ?Since we?re putting everything out,? she explains. It?s also a quick way to put the attention back onto Emily.
Emily simply states that she and Fabolous (who we learned first episode tells people he is single) have been together for eight years, have a two-year-old son, and that she has a 12-year-old daughter. ?We are a family,? she interviews. ?But why is he always with another girl when you see him, then?? Olivia asks. Maybe Emily has no idea how big her family actually is? Either way, now Emily’s angry as well. Pointing fingers always leads to pointed fingers.
?What rapper doesn?t have a million girls around them,? Emily asks. When Chrissy replies ?Jim? Emily says she?s seen Jim Jones in the club surrounded by girls. Now things are getting heated. Oh, to be a tiny bulldog in that room.
Olivia says that Emily should have gone to her first (i.e., in private, and not in front of cameras). ?This is between me and Darelle,? Olivia interviews. ?Y?all b*tches don?t need to be in my business.? And just like that, the fellowship of the hip hop girlfriends was broken.
But it?s time to fight the real enemy. Chrissy goes out to see one of Somaya?s shows, so she can see if she?s got any talent to back up her talk (and her butt). ?Are we going there on a friendly note?? Emily asks. Good question! I mean, you should just ask that before you go anywhere with Chrissy. She says things are totally friendly, which is totally not true.
They?re at Love Jones, where the MC urges them to give up the bad vibes before seeing the artist. Chrissy tries to oblige. But is this the face of someone filled with good intentions, or someone waiting for a root canal?
It’s Somaya?s first show in NYC, and first performance ever with a live band. She does ?Would you still love me,? (what, no ?Mira Me Pum Pum??). Chrissy seems to have left her good will on the floor.
?I wasn?t nauseated…but I was close,? Chrissy interviews. Points for not vomiting in your clutch, I guess!
Back to Olivia, who doesn?t have the same sweet smile she had the first two episodes.
Although her nail polish is still happy. She?s meeting Emily for lunch. Emily interviews that she knows Olivia?s upset, because she?s texted her but she hasn?t responded. Olivia basically says that she would never put Emily?s business out there, so she was uncomfortable, and that they can?t build a friendship like this. I don?t know what place this kind of talk has on VH1. These ladies are making a business out of putting business out there. This lunch is al fresco and intense.
Emily tries to apologize, but Olivia isn’t interested. Once again she compares her Darelle situation to Emily?s situation with Fab, bringing up the rumors that he?s actually with a lot of women, and not just ?pretending? for his image like Emily insists. Olivia is like:
Although she seems pretty okay with bringing this up. Emily still insists that she?s Fab?s only lady. ?She?s just trying to dig up dirt on me because I caught her in a lie,? Emily interviews. So that’s that. No one wins this argument.
It?s a nice night for a tattoo in Jersey, isn?t it? First, though:
I love Jim Jones’ apparent distrust of the whole banking system. His side of the mattress must be lumpy.
Chrissy says she?s going to talk to Jim while he?s getting his tattoo, ?to get his mind off the pain.? And why not talk about Somaya? She tells Jim that Somaya needs to practice a little more, and he laughs it off.
Jim interviews that he won?t sign Somaya if Chrissy doesn?t like her. ?She knows how to critique women real good, so….? If we?ve learned anything about Chrissy, it?s that she?s good with critiques. Woman critiques.
Somaya returns to Jim?s studio to play him her track. He liked it initially, but told her to do some things to make it more radio friendly. She worked hard on it, and she interviews that she?s excited to play him the final product.
He tells her to stop the track five seconds in, and he tells her he?s got a deadline on his back so he can?t worry about other people?s songs. She is …
… disappointed. She can?t be sure, but she thinks Chrissy has something to do with it.
She reaches out to Emily for drinks and a talk. Emily has some suspicions:
but she goes. If nothing else, this episode proves that Emily knows the drama-smoothing powers of a ladies’ early afternoon cocktail.
Emily says that she and Chrissy both don?t think rapper when they look at Somaya… she doesn?t say what they do think when they see her, but whatever. You can guess. And Emily says that if Chrissy doesn?t think Somaya is good for Jim Jones?s brand, she?s going to tell him not to do it. Emily also interviews that she thinks Somaya?s just trying to find someone to blame for Jim?s disinterest. She doesn’t take this news well, but Somaya looks like she’s ready to start over with Emily and Chrissy.
Let’s toast this soon-to-be-broken peace:
The next day Emily invites all the ladies — including Somaya — on a little boat day trip. First: Awesome idea. Second: Putting them on a boat is even better. You can?t storm off a boat.
Chrissy climbs on board, but she’s s upset that her ?sexy, sunny day with [her] friends? includes Somaya.
Don’t you hate it when someone ruins your sexy day?
Chrissy talks to Emily inside the boat about why Emily would dare invite Somaya. They either don?t realize or don?t care that Somaya?s manager, Maurice, is inside getting a drink. It’s not Maurice’s fault he doesn’t stand out.
Maurice goes back up top to tell Somaya and Olivia what?s going on downstairs.
Olivia tries to explain that Chrissy at first didn?t understand Somaya?s intentions, but Maurice says, ?I?d advise her to date a guy that gets paid more than $10,000 a gig.? He means if Somaya’s intentions were to find a husband, not a career. But even as a hypothetical, this is not appropriate. Olivia interviews that of course this is getting back to Jim now. Of course, I’d be disappointed if it didn’t get back to Jim.
Meanwhile Emily is inside the boat talking to herself, wondering out loud if she’s made a terrible mistake. She shouldn’t be so hard on herself, she did an amazing job consolidating the drama this week. She’s made a wonderful mistake.
All the ladies gather inside the boat to argue. First, Somaya and Chrissy go at it, with the latter telling the former to shut up and listen.
Then Emily yells for everyone including Chrissy to ?shut the f*ck up.? Somehow Chrissy heard “shut the f*ck up… and dance” so she obliges, happily.
Maurice then tries to explain that he only told Somaya what they were saying to stop Somaya from finding out on her own and ?f*cking you up.? Chrissy brushes this off, but he may have a point — he later tells us that Somaya is around 6?4?.
Chrissy also calls Maurice Tattoo during their argument. Pretty clever, since they are on a boat. I sure hope Chrissy knows some celebrity land midgets’ names for when they’re back on shore.
I also love that some people are just trying to hold it down on the boat while the ladies are fighting. I bet that lady in the back’s thinking, “Why’d I buy the sexy sunny boat cruise Groupon?”
Maurice urges them to “act like women.” He also calls Chrissy “triflin’,” which infuriates Chrissy. When Somaya gets into it, Chrissy calls her ?…a girl who should only be rapping at Christmastime.?
Get it? With skills like that, Chrissy should be rapping all the time.
This week’s Love & Hip Hop begins out in the wilds of Jersey. The ladies are at Chrissy?s house getting some spa time. There are some ulterior motives to the ladies’ night in: Chrissy and Emily also want to get to the bottom of Olivia saying she?s dating Darrelle Revis.

Meanwhile Emily is inside the boat talking to herself, wondering out loud if she’s made a terrible mistake. She shouldn’t be so hard on herself, she did an amazing job consolidating the drama this week. She’s made a wonderful mistake.
All the ladies gather inside the boat to argue. First, Somaya and Chrissy go at it, with the latter telling the former to shut up and listen.
Then Emily yells for everyone including Chrissy to ?shut the f*ck up.? Somehow Chrissy heard “shut the f*ck up… and dance” so she obliges, happily.
Maurice then tries to explain that he only told Somaya what they were saying to stop Somaya from finding out on her own and ?f*cking you up.? Chrissy brushes this off, but he may have a point — he later tells us that Somaya is around 6?4?.
Chrissy also calls Maurice Tattoo during their argument. Pretty clever, since they are on a boat. I sure hope Chrissy knows some celebrity land midgets’ names for when they’re back on shore.
I also love that some people are just trying to hold it down on the boat while the ladies are fighting. I bet that lady in the back’s thinking, “Why’d I buy the sexy sunny boat cruise Groupon?”
Maurice urges them to “act like women.” He also calls Chrissy “triflin’,” which infuriates Chrissy. When Somaya gets into it, Chrissy calls her ?…a girl who should only be rapping at Christmastime.?
Get it? With skills like that, Chrissy should be rapping all the time.

Kim Kardashian Crashed Avril Lavigne's Big Night
Kim Kardashian is not a fan of Avril Lavigne -- even though she is totally happy to use her as a press opportunity.
One source tells In Touch that Kim specifically told her stepbrother Brody Jenner not to bring the songstress, who he has been dating since last year, to a recent family dinner in LA. "Kim texted to tell him it was family only, no significant others," the source said. "But they were completely welcoming to Lamar Odom, Khlo�'s husband, so Avril was really hurt. Brody ended up not going to the dinner."
And, after Kim brushed Avril off, the reality star had the nerve to show up uninvited to the pop star's album release party on March 8 at nightclub SL in NYC. According to insiders, Avril was upset that Kim was there. ?Kim was not invited to the event. The night was not supposed to be about her,? one insider tells In Touch. "Kim took all the attention away on the red carpet, and was posing for photos inside as well. She stole the spotlight."
In fact, her appearance at the event seems very odd, since, according to Brody?s ex Jayde Nicole, Kim has made no effort to get close to Brody's girlfriends in the past. Jayde tells In Touch, "Kim and Brody were not close at all when we dated. I only met her once,? she tells In Touch. ?Brody and Kim did not have a relationship.?
One onlooker at the party even said, ?Avril left her own party early. She seemed sad and was not happy that all the attention was diverted to Kim being there.?

2011 SXSW Guide: Fitz & The Tantrums Pick Their Fave Acts
Fitz And The Tantrums are a seven-piece pop machine that sound like a�combination of Motown and Kick-era INXS, minus guitar. Fronted by the charismatic�Michael Fitzpatrick, who rightly shares a big chunk of the spotlight with singer�Noelle Scaggs, you may have recently caught the band making the rounds of�late-night talk shows (Jimmy Kimmel, Conan) to support its new album, Pickin’ Up�the Pieces. We haven’t seen the band live (The�Foo Fighters hijacked their SXSW stage last night), but we hear they put on an�amazing show. Here’s the video for “MoneyGrabber,” Fitz’ new single:
After the jump, Fitz himself gives his SXSW picks.
TV On The Radio
“I’ve never seen them live, but have always been inspired by the music they make.�I love Tunde’s voice. Can’t wait to hear the new album!”
Oh Land
“I walked into a little club in Los Angeles and there were three girls dancing with�miniature houses illuminated on their heads! Totally out-there progressive�dance music. And, PS: She’s Gorgeous!”
Cee Lo
“Because now that he’s the Black Liberace you always wanna see what he’s gonna do�next!”
There are a whopping 2,000 or so acts performing at South By Southwest in Austin this year. A few are household names (Duran Duran, Erykah Badu, The Strokes), some are respected indie veterans (Low, Hieroglyphics) and others feel like they’re about to be the next big thing. We’ve asked a diverse group of 2011 SXSW artists to name acts in the lineup they’d love to see. We’re hoping this ongoing series will serve as not just a guide to the fest, but also an interesting snapshot of today’s music scene.

You Oughta Know Live: Grace Potter & The Nocturnals Perform ?White Rabbit?
One of the many perks of working here at VH1 is that there always seems to be incredible musicians and gorgeous celebrities roaming the hallways here in Times Square. Take You Oughta Know artist and Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, for example. A few weeks ago, we were fortunate enough to be treated to a short set from the breakout stars of the most recent VH1 Divas show, right here in our lobby. They played an intimate yet rocking three song set, including their big single “Paris (Ooh La La)” and this smokin’ cover of Jefferson Airplane’s trippy, late sixties psychadelic anthem, “White Rabbit.”
The band first performed this song for last year’s Alice In Wonderland soundtrack. As you’ll see, Grace Potter delivers her vocals with the same sort of passion and intensity that Grace Slick did way back in the Summer of Love. Rather than keep this awesomeness all to ourselves, we figured we’d share this entire You Oughta Know Live performance with you guys, too. Enjoy!

2011 SXSW Guide: Rain Phoenix Picks Her Fave Acts
Papercranes, a rock/folk act fronted by Rain Phoenix (yes, Joaquin’s sis), features a rotating crew of periodic collaborators and guests including Rain’s sisters Summer and Liberty, Vic Chesnutt and Flea. Papercranes opened for R.E.M. at SXSW in 2008, and return this year with Let’s Make Babies In the Woods, a sophomore album that shifts in tone from dark and angry to bittersweet. It was created in the wake of Rain’s divorce.
After the jump, Rain’s picks.
Sister Crayon
“I love this band! Paul from Manimal introduced me to their haunting music, and I am better for it. Terra’s vocal style and the overall vibe of the band is an emotional roller coaster I love to ride.”
Duran Duran
“Being a child of the 80’s I couldn’t be more excited to see them live at sxsw! Their music left an indelible impact on my early life and to know I can re-experience that at sxsw while enjoying their new material is really exciting.”
Luke Rathborne
“This young talented musician is not to be missed. We’ve collaborated in Gift Horse Project where I got to see first hand how he combines his love of music with his kindness towards other artists. Luke is the real deal. “

Simon Cowell Pushes for Nicole Scherzinger on The X-Factor
Nicki Minaj is out. Might Nicole Scherzinger be in?
The hip hop star will not judge The X-Factor, but Simon Cowell himself sounds very close to naming the former Pussycat Doll as the second judge on his upcoming singing competition.
"I want her to do it, but we've got to get the deal done and find someone she has chemistry with," Cowell tells TV Guide. "I absolutely adore her. She was fantastic on the U.K. X Factor and I'm hopeful it will happen."
Cowell says Cheryl Cole is in the mix and also explains his connection to L.A. Reid, who has been confirmed for the panel.
"I met him approximately fifteen years ago when he'd launched Pink for the first time. He put on a show and got every single person in the room to believe this person was a star. The way he presented her with his passion drew me to him and was a big part of why I chose him to be on the show. A "yes" or "no" from L.A. Reid should really mean something to the contestants."
Pixie Geldof pairs her new orange hair with a red dress?

Perhaps we were a little hasty in our criticism of Pixie Geldof?s new orange locks yesterday because when the Geldof offspring stepped out last night we thought she actually looked quite good.

Sure the bright orange collar on her coat made our eyes hurt a little, but we liked the contrast of her locks with the red dress anyway. She did good.

Tika Sumpter Has No Problem Smooching Her Gossip Girl Co-Stars!
When it comes to dream jobs, many girls would gladly trade places with Tika Sumpter, 27, who admits that her job playing Raina Thorpe on Gossip Girl has a few perks ? like making out with both Chace Crawford, 25, and Ed Westwick, 23.
The newest CW series star opened up to In Touch exclusively about her on-camera kissing sessions with her slightly younger co-stars at the Rebecca Taylor Flagship Store Grand Opening held on March 23 in NYC's Meatpacking District.
?They are both amazing kissers," the sultry starlet confesses. "I mean, is it really hard to kiss those two? No!? We tried to get her to tell us who was the better kisser, but Tika would only tease, ?That?s for me to know... and nobody else to find out!? Or maybe she just can't choose one over the other?
Katrina Bowden, Selita Ebanks and Alice Eve were also on hand for the celebration of the fashion designer's second New York City boutique.
Star Jones Fires Back at NeNe Leakes: 'Did I Sleep With Her and Forget to Call the Next Day?' (VIDEO)
Filed under: TV Replay
Star Jones fired off a new salvo in the war of words between she and NeNe Leakes on 'The Wendy Williams Show,' slamming her 'Celebrity Apprentice' co-star for repeatedly talking about her in the media and appearing disinterested in Leakes' apparent relationship with her ex-husband Al Reynolds."Did I sleep with her and forget to call the next day? Because I'm starting to feel that way," Jones said of Leakes. "Have you ever seen an experience where somebody just talks about you again and again and again?"
First Look at 'Summer Heights High' Creator Chris Lilley's New HBO Show, 'Angry Boys'
Chances are that if you know Summer Heights High, you love Summer Heights High. At least, that's how it works among everyone I've ever talked to about the Australian mockumentary series that aired on HBO in 2008. It was only around for one season, but what a weird, wacky, wonderful season it was. Chris Lilley acted as three different characters -- a dumb, Tongan jock named Jonah, a prissy, privileged teen girl named Ja'mie, and a flamboyant, self-obsessed Performing Arts teacher, Mr. G -- and he also wrote the show, which I (and others, I'm sure) would argue is one of the most hilarious high school parodies ever made. Summer Heights High: If you haven't watched it ... fix that.Now we're getting our first look at Lilley's new series, Angry Boys, which, in the same vein as Summer Heights High, stars Lilley as a variety of characters, including "a pair of co-dependent brothers, a former surfing great, an untalented rapper, a prison guard grandma and an overprotective Asian mother." Check it out:

'Jersey Shore' Season 3, Episode 13 (Season Finale) Recap
Filed under: Recaps
['Jersey Shore' - 'At the End of the Day']All good things must come to an end, but what happens with horrible things? They seem to live on forever with no end in sight, and when they do end, they leave a scar on your soul so deep you feel like your girlfriend broke up with you because you were adopted ... and you didn't even know you were adopted.
The same is true for 'Jersey Shore.' Sure, Season 3 is "over," but if you think you've heard the last of Snooki and the rest of the family, you're sorely mistaken. They'll be in Italy next season, wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting and undeserving Italians, calling it "the homeland" or "the old country" way too much. In the interim, they'll be popping up at random clubs and state fairs to sign autographs. If you're lucky, maybe The Situation will come to your town and you'll get your picture taken with him at the food court in the mall.
Elizabeth Taylor Laid to Rest
With her closest relatives gathering together, Elizabeth Taylor was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA on Thursday afternoon (March 24).
Having passed away the previous day, the late screen legend and her loved ones arrived in a procession of five black stretch limos at the mausoleum burial grounds - a place in which Liz's close pal Michael Jackson calls his final resting spot.
Miss Taylor's family-exclusive funeral comes after she succumbed to congestive heart failure at Cedars Sinai at the age of 79-years-old.
Upon her passing, Elizabeth's publicist Sally Morrison said, "She was surrounded by her children: Michael Wilding, Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd and Maria Burton."
Meanwhile, Taylor's son Michael Wilding Jr added, "We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts."
Video Premiere: Kid Rock ft. Sheryl Crow, ?Collide?
Kid Rock | Collide by Kid Rock | Sheryl Crow | Free Music Videos
Quick, name Kid Rock’s biggest hit! “Bawitdaba”? “All Summer Long”? “Cowboy”?
If you guessed any of the above, sadly, you would be wrong. Despite his image as a hard drinking, hard partying rap star turned rock ‘n’ roller, Kid Rock’s most successful single to date is his lovelorn duet with Sheryl Crow, “Picture.” The song, which was initially released to radio stations in late 2002 with vocals from Alison Moorer — legend has it that Sheryl Crow’s management was not thrilled that she decided to record a track with the man born Robert James Ritchie until the Moorer version started climbing the charts — was a huge crossover smash, charting at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and logging 33 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, before becoming a staple of karaoke bars across the country.
Rock and Crow, who have been rumored to be an on-and-off item over the years, next reunited for an album cut on Rock’s 2003 record, Kid Rock. The song, “Run Off To LA,” was a blistering dis track directed at Rock’s ex (at the time), Pam Anderson, and, understandably, was never released commercially.
But now, some ten years after the recording sessions for Cocky, Rock and Crow are at it again with “Collide,” the third single from Rock’s latest LP, Born Free. The chemistry between the two long-time friends is readily apparent throughout the course of the video, and we’ve got a good feeling that this song will join “Picture” as a classic karaoke staple for couples for years and years to come. The song will be making its television debut this weekend as part of our VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown, but thanks to the magic of the internet, you can watch it on your computer monitor right at this very second. Let us know what you think!

Rock and Crow, who have been rumored to be an on-and-off item over the years, next reunited for an album cut on Rock’s 2003 record, Kid Rock. The song, “Run Off To LA,” was a blistering dis track directed at Rock’s ex (at the time), Pam Anderson, and, understandably, was never released commercially.
But now, some ten years after the recording sessions for Cocky, Rock and Crow are at it again with “Collide,” the third single from Rock’s latest LP, Born Free. The chemistry between the two long-time friends is readily apparent throughout the course of the video, and we’ve got a good feeling that this song will join “Picture” as a classic karaoke staple for couples for years and years to come. The song will be making its television debut this weekend as part of our VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown, but thanks to the magic of the internet, you can watch it on your computer monitor right at this very second. Let us know what you think!

Looking Back at Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson
It's no secret that the relationship between icons Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson was a loving one.
With Elizabeth passing away early Wednesday morning (March 23), a video tribute remembering the two departed talents showing red carpet togetherness and memorable moments was craftily put together by ET Online.
As for the strength of their bond, Miss Taylor had tweeted that she was "too devastated" to speak about the King of Pop's death upon hearing about Jackson's passing a few years back.
She later gave a statement about her dear friend which read in part: "My heart ... my mind ... are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together. ... I still can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. It can't be so. He will live in my heart forever but it's not enough. My life feels so empty. I don't think anyone knew how much we loved each other. The purest most giving love I've ever known. Oh God! I'm going to miss him. I can't yet imagine life without him. But I guess with God's help ... I'll learn. I keep looking at the photo he gave me of himself, which says, 'To my true love Elizabeth, I love you forever.' And, I will love HIM forever."
