Justin Bieber & Mariah Carey Premiere ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ (Video)

Posted: 30 Nov 2011 11:20 PM PST

The annual lighting of the Christmas tree at New York City's "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" event saw a slew of performances from top musical acts Wednesday night, but the headliner Justin Bieber caught the most attention with the premiere of his latest video for the single "All I Want for Christmas is You" featuring Mariah Carey.

In a word, awkward.

The two are seen singing in a department store, her in a sexy Santa Claus outfit and he doing some holiday shopping with some pals. Later in the clip Justin and Mariah hand out gifts to crowds in the store.

The singers then get flirty and a bit naughty when they end up in a sleigh, where they get cozy and cuddle. Isn’t she too old to be groping a 17 year old?

The classic hit from Carey's album "Merry Christmas" was re-recorded by the 41-year-old diva and Bieber, and appears on his new holiday record.

Kris Humphries Wants Marriage Annulled

Posted: 30 Nov 2011 10:05 PM PST

Kris Humphries doesn't want a divorce, he wants his marriage to Kim Kardashian annulled.

Humphries filed Wednesday for an annulment from Kim, seeking to erase his 72-day marriage on the grounds of fraud. Fake.

Kim says Kris is gay.

Star magazine is reporting that Humphries is gay and also reports that Kim knew it because she couldn’t get Kris to have sex with her after their Italian honeymoon.

Sources claim that Kim confided to Khloe pretty early on that [she and Kris] hadn’t had sex for weeks after they returned home from their Italian honeymoon. Kim was really concerned.”

“One night she came back to their hotel room in a trench coat … She lit candles, put on some music and started doing a sexy striptease. But Kris barely looked up from the TV! He was like, ‘Later babe. I’m watching SportsCenter now.’”

“Khloe asked Kim if she thought Kris might be gay. At first Kim thought that was ridiculous. But the more she thought about it, the more she wondered. There were signs.”

Do you think the marriage was a fraud? If so, was Kris Humphries tricked?

X-Factor Week 6 Performances Recap (Video)

Posted: 30 Nov 2011 04:53 PM PST

This week is Michael Jackson themed at the X Factor USA!

There are only 7 acts left and they will all be covering songs by the king of pop. There should be plenty of single white gloves and high vocal notes!

Last week's episode saw the departure of Lakoda Rayne and LeRoy Bell leaving only Melanie Amaro, Rachel Crow, Astro, Drew Ryniewicz, Marcus Canty, Chris Rene and Josh Krajcik.

In honor of Michael Jackson Week Katherine, Paris, Prince, Blanket, Jackie, Tito and Marlon Jackson are in attendance! No pressure or anything…

It's also another double elimination week which will leave us with the top five, so make sure to vote at the end of tonight's show!

VOTE ONLINE HERE!

1. First to take the stage was Josh Krajcik who performed Michael Jackson‘s song, "Dirty Diana." The judges were generally pleased, all except for Simon (typical). L.A. Reid said, “I was really proud of you doing it, you landed on your feet.” Simon disagreed saying, “As a spectacle is was great, however, you were over produced, you were lost in the choreography.”

See the rest of the performances, after the jump!

2. Astro rapped "Black or White" which was released on Jacksons eighth album, Dangerous. Nicole was not impressed and said "That was bad, I don't know if it was my favorite performance form you." The rest of the judges seemed to disagree with Sherzinger, all saying positive reviews.

3.Next was Drew Ryniewicz who sang the Jackson classic " Billy Jean ." She sat in a chair the whole time (She's no Adele) and some of the judges didn't get it. Paula said, "This was your best vocal performance, however, nothing visual, paying homage to Michael, there should have been more." Simon then replied "Paula let me remind you, because of too much dancing, your acts are out of the building. The whole point of tonight was to show that she is a great artist and she sang the song beautifully." Ouch!

4.The next contestant to perform was Rachel Crow who sang her rendition of "Can You Feel It" from The Jacksons album, Triumph. The judges weren't too fond of Crow's performance with L.A. saying what all the judges were thinking, "This is probably the only time that I have watched you and didn't believe that you were having a great time, it was not the best that I have seen you."

5. Marcus Canty was next to the microphone and performed the MJ song "Pretty Young Thing." The judges seemed in agreement that it was a good performance with Paula saying, "What a beautiful homage to Michael Jackson and you are the whole package."

6. Chris Rene was next and he sang/rapped The Jacksons hit song "I'll Be There" and Chris rocked it. Nicole praised the performer saying, "What is so amazing about Michael Jackson is that you always feel his spirit and I felt that tonight, you sounded the best you ever sang."

7.Lastly, Melanie Amaro performed "Earth Song" off Jackson's album HIStory: Past Present and Future, Book I. The judges were in aw with all of the judges praising Amaro for her performance. Simon explained, "I could not be more proud, what a great way to pay tribute to Michael Jackson."

Who were the best and worst of the night?

Tell us what you think in the comment section below!

Tune in tomorrow for Allie Is Wired‘s recap of the X Factor elimination show!

Pan Am To Be Cancelled?

Posted: 30 Nov 2011 09:13 AM PST

Is everyone's favorite show about retro stewardesses about to be grounded? (Ha plane humor)

Well there seems to be some confusion so let's break it down.

The rumors began when actress, Karine Vanasse tweeted, "Well, we received THE call, #PanAm is only coming back for one more episode after Christmas. But up to the end, we’ll give it our all !"

But apparently Vanasse was misinformed because a rep for ABC then released a statement saying, “No, this is not correct. Nothing has changed. We are not canceling Pan Am. We are still in production and will continue to be in production finishing the original 13 episodes plus one more additional one.”

How awkward for Karine Vanasse, way to jump the gun.

And to the joy of all FAN-Ams, "We have one more original episode this coming week, Dec. 4,” explains the show’s rep, “and then will return in January with new episodes, airing all of them. Pan Am is still in contention for next season. We won’t know about that until our upfront announcement in May.”

So the show will still be airing, but for how long? Can a the show really make it into another season or are the ratings just not strong enough?

A source close to the show has alleged that ABC executives still have hope for the series, but the network just has "too many good" shows so Pan Am will be getting a shortened first season.

The series began with a promising start of 11 million viewers per episode, but the show has fallen into only having about 5-6 million viewers.

So will Pan Am be cancelled?

Probably, but not until next season so enjoy it while you can!

Lady Gaga Stole ‘Born This Way’ Jacket?

Posted: 30 Nov 2011 08:53 AM PST

Lady Gaga has been accused of ‘borrowing’ a lot things.

The item in question this time? The infamous Born This Way jacket which was created by Tom Tom Fashions.

On Lady Gaga’s official merchandise website, she offers a ‘black t-shirt designed to resemble a black leather vest with studded collar and Born This Way design.’

The designer took to his official facebook and expressed his disappointment.

Tom Tom Fashions posted to Facebook, “I love Gaga. And I love when all you kids make your own BTW jackets, vests & shirts. I don’t know who made the decision to reproduce it as an official shirt. But, it would have been nice if they used the original design or to get a cut of the profits, but lesson learned I guess.”
