As if he hasn’t been through enough after being chewed up and spit out by the Kardashian Khaos Kreator, poor (figuratively, not literally) Kris Humphries was booed during a preseason Nets’ game at Madison Square Garden. ESPN says he was “booed lustily” when he came into the game during the second quarter, and then again every time he touched the ball for the six minutes he stayed in the game. Ouch!
But then, after he came out of the game, the crowd chanted “We want Humphries! We want Humphries!” off and on for the rest of the game. Wow, the crowd’s reaction perfectly captures the world’s feelings towards all things Kardashian: you really hate them but the minute they go away you realize you can’t live without them. Boo! Wait, where are you going? Come baaaaack! [ESPN]
Last night, during his Home for the Holidays concert in Toronto, Justin Bieber brought his three-year-old sister, Jazmyn, on stage with him. He and Jazzy sang part of his hit “Baby” before having an extended conversation about how she cut her own hair and shaved her 2-year-old brother’s head while she was at it. She also announced that she is a princess. Of course, the audience oohed and ahhed as their hearts melted from the sweetness. He seems refreshingly unguarded and genuine when talking to her—quite a welcome contrast to the manufactured side of him we so often see. Oh, and Jazzy tripped as she walked off the stage, which tipped the scales from “very cute” to “off-the-charts adorable.” [HuffPo]
When it comes to the great sweatpants divide of 2011, it looks like Scarlett Johansson falls firmly in the “no sweatpants” camp:
I always like to put a little bit of makeup on. I’m not the kind of person that just slops around in sweatpants. I like to feel a little more together – you never know who you’re going to see out there!
Actually, I do know who I’m going to see out there: no paparazzi and no one I really care about, so I don’t mind sweating it up on occasion. But I can see, were you forced to be camera-ready at all hours of the day or night, why you might ditch the comfy pants in favor of something more flattering. [People]
After getting arrested last night for fighting with his boyfriend Sauli Koskinen in Finland, Adam Lambert explained his actions via Twitter:
Jetlag+Vodka=blackout.
Us÷blackout=irrational confusion.
jail+guilt+press=lesson learned.
Sauli+Adam+hangover burgers= laughing bout it. 🙂
That is one complicated equation! [Twitter]
- Last night’s Guns N’ Roses show in Los Angeles was quite the who’s who of random B-listers. Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean and his brand new wife, Rochelle DeAnna Karidis, displayed their wedding rings and their coordinated nail polish. (He had black polish with a red heart on his ring finger. She wore red polish and a black heart.) Jim Carrey also got in on the Axl action, and brought a blonde woman who may be his new girlfriend. And rounding out the fading-star-packed night was Jared Leto, who showed up wearing a velvety-looking coat and a fedora. [People, TMZ, Just Jared]
- Alas, Alec Baldwin has decided not to run for mayor of NYC after all. He said on his podcast,
- I’ve lost my appetite. Plus the people that are running for mayor—I know this is terrible—I look at them and I don’t see myself in that crowd. They’re like a guy on a date that you can tell he just can’t wait to get his hand up your blouse before even the lights go out in the theater. They’re all just so horny for it. Horny for their own ascension. Whereas for me, I’ve got a job now…I’ve got a good job.
- He might not be horny enough, and he might be too rash to have been a good mayor anyway. But it’s a damn shame we won’t get to see what his campaign ads would have looked like! [E! Online]

- Finally, there’s a celebrity couple who we don’t need to constantly monitor for a potential baby bump: Nick Lachey has said that he and wife Vanessa aren’t in any great hurry to reproduce:

- Speaking of the Royal couple, Prince William might be getting Kate a very special Christmas gift:
- [S]peculation is swirling over what [Prince] William is going to get Kate for Christmas, [and] the general consensus at this point is that the Duchess of Cambridge is getting a puppy.
- Hmm, that could mean that she is not pregnant, because who buys a puppy right when they’re having a baby—too many poops to clean up after at once! Or it could mean that she is pregnant because they can just pay someone else to clean up after the puppy and then they can have it snuggle with the baby to keep it warm at night in that drafty old castle they’ll be living in. [Us Weekly]
