Jason Alexander Is Still Talking About Britney Spears’ Engagement
by Jessica LeFevre on Dec.22, 2011, under articles

Britney Spears was married to Jason Alexander for 55 hours back in 2004, so that obviously makes him an expert on all things Britney. Especially as someone to go to for an expert opinion on her relationships. That was seven years ago, he’s lucky to even know how she likes her coffee anymore…
Recently, he gave his opinion on BritWick and it wasn’t good. He said that their union is fake, there is no connection between them and referred to it as an answer to the court thing.
Now, he’s opening his yap again, because Britney apparently didn’t run 800 miles an hour in the opposite direction of Jason [Trawick] and into his arm’s. Ugh.
He called their relationship “a complete sham” and said that Jason “will end up hurting” Britney. He said, “If they actually get married, it will probably only last for a year or two, but not much longer than that.”
Jason continued, “I think Britney is really unhappy but doesn’t know how to get out. I don’t think she loves him.”
He went on to reveal that mutual friends have told him that Britney feels like she’s being watched on a constant basis and said that she likely feels that she “has no choice but to listen to what her dad and Jason says.”
He added, “But I want her to know that she can get out of this thing if she really wants to.”
Does he think that she’s just going to dump Trawick and run to him? He can’t be that dumb, can he?
The X Factor USA Performance Finale Review
by Jessica LeFevre on Dec.22, 2011, under articles

On last night’s performance episode of The X Factor USA, the three remaining contestants sang for their supper with three special guests. If you’ve missed the show, we live-blogged it here, along with the videos here.
Josh Krajcik kicked things off by singing Alanis Morrissette’s song, Uninvited. It was a very strong performance for Josh. Very well done.
Afterward, Chris Rene belted out a version of Complicated and was later joined by Avril Lavigne. We felt that the song lacked a lot and was definitely not his best performance.
Lastly for the first round, Melanie Amaro got stuck with R. Kelly and his song, I Believe I Can Fly. Even though the guest performer and the song choice weren’t my favorite, she still found a way to make it work. Good for her.
Round one rankings:
Melanie Amaro
Josh Krajcik
Chris Rene
For round two, Josh busted out some Krajcik Magic with Etta James’ song, At Last. I couldn’t forget how much Josh won us all over when he first sang that song on the show.
Afterward, Chris sang his own original song, Young Homie. This is the originality that we’ve grown to love from Chris. He’s got something special about his singing talent and the heart that he puts into songs.
Lastly, Melanie sang Beyonce’s song, Listen. She’s got the type of voice that can basically sing anything — even some 800 year-old song by R. Kelly. This girl has some pipes — along with a serious shot at winning the top prize.
Round two rankings:
Chris Rene
Melanie Amaro
Josh Krajcik
Yesterday, we also took a poll of our readers to see who you thought would win the competition. We’ve received over 10,000 responses! [Thanks everyone, keep the votes coming!] Forty-four percent of voters felt that Melanie will win the X Factor crown, with Josh right behind her and Chris cleaning up last place.
Stay tuned to Earsucker.com, where you will find out who wins the show first! [Read: We update constantly.]

Meanwhile, Jack agrees to help Mackenzie on a school report about the court system and, in return, gets makeover advice from both Nikki and Mackenzie when they decide he needs a little “flash” and “pop” in order to win a court case he’s worried about.
Sophie wants to start dating and she had her mother sign a document and have it notarized so that she can start dating! Too funny!
Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux Sending Out Joint Christmas Cards
by Roberta Ferguson on Dec.21, 2011, under articles

Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Justin Theroux are getting so serious that they are even sending out joint Christmas cards!
Reportedly, the happy couple have been sending out joint cards to friends and family members. Not only that, but they have also made donations in their names to the St. Jude’s Children’s Reseach Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee and the Best Friends Animal Society in Utah.
According to reports, the card says, “We wish you and your family a holiday season full of happiness & joy. A donation has been made in your name to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and Best Friends Animal Society. With warmth and love, Jen and Justin.”
They are so cute that even her father is impressed with Justin. A source said, “Justin and John got along great from the moment they met. John feels that Justin has been wonderful for his daughter and says he’s never seen Jen happier. John would love nothing more than to see them walk down the aisle. He’s told Justin he’s willing to do whatever he can to help.”
I don’t think they are in any rush whatsoever to walk down the aisle. They are just taking things slow, which is good. What do you think?

Tonight we come back to the house of evil where Ben, played by Dylan McDermott, feels attached to the house now because he can’t bring himself to leave Vivian, played by Connie Britton, and Violet, Taissa Farmiga there and so much so that he even contemplates killing himself to be with them and sending the new baby son to Vivian’s sister. Will Ben be able to control his urge to kill himself and get out of the house with the baby before the house and it’s dark powers consume him?
Last week we saw Violet banish Tate, played by Evan Peters, from her because she found out that he was responsible for some of the murders in the house not too mention raping her mother and getting her pregnant with the one twin that managed to survive.

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Engaged?
by Jessica LeFevre on Dec.21, 2011, under articles

Rumor has it that Justin Timberlake has asked his long-time girlfriend, Jessica Biel, to become his wife!
As of right now, there has been no confirmation of the reports, so it’s basically just a rumor at this point. Still, it could be true!
Over the past weekend, we’ve heard rumors that Justin popped the question. A message from Tayloe Piggott Gallery said, “Word on the street is that Justin Timberlake proposed to Jessica Biel at the Amangani last night. We’re picking out post-engagement presents for them just in case they come in! Trying to play it cool…”
Like we’ve said, this is still at the rumor/speculation point. We’ll update the site when we hear the official confirmation from either Justin or Jessica’s camp. Stay tuned… And if the reports are true, then congratulations are in order!
The X Factor USA Final 3 Performance Recap 12/21/11
by Jessica LeFevre on Dec.21, 2011, under articles

It has all come down to this! It’s the season finale performance episode of The X Factor USA. There isn’t anymore waiting, America….tonight, we’ll get to see which contestant really brings it on the show. Are you excited? We are!
After last week’s not-so-shocking elimination of three-time bottom two champion, Marcus Canty, we’re left with Josh Krajcik, Melanie Amaro and Chris Rene. The final three competitors are all vying for the X Factor crown and its top prize: a recording contract worth five million dollars.
It’s really hard to say who’s going to walk away a champion tomorrow, but we’re down for some speculation. We’re really fans of all three of the finalists on the show, but Melanie stands out with her range. On that note, Josh does have the ability to really sing just about anything, as well.
We could have predicted that they would have made it this far. Chris, however, while talented, does not possess the same pizazz as Josh and Melanie. Having said that, he has taken some risks with his song choices and has come out on top.
So it’s anyone’s game at this point. Stay tuned right here to Earsucker.com, as we’ll be live-blogging the show with up-to-the-minute coverage at 8PM EST!
Update: We will be updating this post with all of the performance videos from tonight’s show. Stay tuned, it’s almost show time!
RECAP:
ROUND ONE
Josh Krajcik is up first, singing Alanis Morrissette’s hit song, Uninvited. OMG, she’s joining him on stage! I love this song! What a great duet!
Chris Rene is up next, doing Avril Lavigne’s song, Complicated. It’s not that great of a cover. Avril took the stage and joined him for the duet. It seems that she changed her key to suit his singing style. Were you feeling that duet?
Melanie Amaro is singing R. Kelly’s I Believe I Can Fly. She is genuinely talented! You go girl! She is joined on stage by R. Kelly for a fantastic duet.
ROUND TWO
Josh Krajcik is up first, singing the song that made him a household name in America…Etta James’ At Last. What a touching performance! Kudos to Josh!
Chris Rene is singing next, doing his own original song, Young Homie. Paula gushed about the song, saying that’s why she fell in love with him. Simon called that Chris’ five million dollar song. It was alright, not too shabby.
Melanie Amaro is last, singing Listen by Beyonce. She’s killing it. She really does have an amazing voice. Get that five million dollars, girl!

John Travolta Walks Out On Kelly Preston?
by Jessica LeFevre on Dec.21, 2011, under articles

According to the latest issue of the National Enquirer, John Travolta has walked out on his wife, Kelly Preston!
His son Jett passed away in 2009 in the Bahamas, but he isn’t yet over the agony that has caused him. According to the magazine’s cover, he had a shocking breakdown over his dead son, leaving Kelly in tears.
An inset photo reveals that he sobs to Kelly that he still blames himself for Jett’s death.
Also featured in this issue is Kobe Bryant’s cheating scandal, which touts his affairs with 105 women. Holy crap, that’s the Tiger Woods scandal on steroids!
In addition to the death and cheating scandals, they’ve got a report on Lindsay Lohan’s face and what happened to it. Because that’s news, right? It must be a slow news day over at the Enquirer…
Speaking of slow, they are also reporting on why Katie Couric ditched her boy toy lover. Does anyone care??? Do you? Sound off in the comments and let us know.
Kim Kardashian & Family Use Sweatshop Labor For Kardashian Merchandise
by Jed Eckert on Dec.21, 2011, under articles

According to the latest issue of Star magazine, Kim Kardashian and her family have been using sweatshop labor in order to produce their massive amounts of Kardashian goods.
Reportedly, they are using foreign sweatshops where some workers are as young as sixteen and are abused. Ugh. Nothing surprises me anymore about these twits.
Charles Kernaghan, executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, said, “The Kardashians are in bed with some pretty bad people. Not only are celebrities like the Kardashians taking advantage of these workers, they are holding hands with a government that spits on democracy and women’s rights.”
The workers in the sweatshops live in such terrible conditions in factory-run dormitories that smell like sewage. They work 84 hours a week and helped make Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and the rest of those drones $65 million last year, while they are only earning $1.00 per hour.
So sickening. Charles went on to say, “You can’t talk during work hours. You can’t listen to music; you can’t stand up and stretch. You can’t even put your head up and look around, or you will be screamed at. If you get permission to use the toilet, you get four minutes. If you’re highly specialized, you cannot even go to the bathroom.”
These Kardashian broads need to fade away into obscurity already. Ugh, they are disgusting, awful people if they are allowing this to happen with their production. As a people, we are stupid if we keep contributing to this kind of madness. Stop buying their merchandise and stop watching their show. SEND A MESSAGE.
Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony’s Divorce Is Getting Ugly?
by Jessica LeFevre on Dec.21, 2011, under articles

Now that Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Marc Anthony and has been running around with Casper Smart, apparently her divorce is getting ugly!
She filed for divorce in July, so why is he still bitter and upset?!? Apparently, he doesn’t like her new relationship with 24-year-old backup dancer, Casper. Why not? He’s been getting along with their kids just fine!
When the Latin crooner spotted photos of Lopez and Smart bonding with his son and daughter during a Thanksgiving vacation in Kauai, Hawaii, he “hit the roof,” one source says. “It caused a huge blowup.”
Even though they have already worked out a deal for custody of their twins, Max and Emme, a source has revealed that he may go back on his word. The source said, “He wants to make Jennifer suffer because she’s having fun with someone new, and he knows this will hurt her on the deepest level.”
Another friend said that Jennifer is “ready to smash him if he tries anything. It’s getting vicious.”
Uh oh! This is going to get worse before it gets better! Let’s hope that they can be mature about their split because the only ones it will affect in the end are their children. What do you think?
Britney Spears & Jason Trawick: Wedding & A Baby?
by Jessica LeFevre on Dec.21, 2011, under articles

According to the latest issue of Life & Style magazine, pop princess Britney Spears and her fiancee Jason Trawick are planning not only for a wedding — but also a baby!
They go into details about the $92,000 engagement ring that he splurged on for her. A friend of Jason’s said, “Jason helped design a 4-carat round-cut diamond and platinum ring that has diamonds all around the band. It’s gorgeous!”
The friend revealed, “He looked for a while for the perfect ring and chose it all by himself. By now he knows what Britney likes. Jason’s never been engaged before, so he’s really, really excited. He’s thrilled that Britney will be his wife. They’re both happy. They’ve come a long way.”
According to the issue’s cover, she’s now hoping for a baby girl!
Also featured in this issue is Tom Cruise’s “new face”. Did he go under the knife? Or did he just find the fountain of youth?
Also, Kim Kardashian famewhores her divorce for the gazillionth time in a tabloid, talking about how she has changed since filing for divorce. Ugh.
Last but not least, they also detail little Mason Disick’s lavish second birthday. Why spend a ton of money on something that he’s not going to remember?!?
What do you think?
