Michael Phelps Sparks Lindsay Lohan Miley Cyrus Feud

Castina — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:17:27 +0000

Human Dolphin Michael Phelps has created a bit of drama between former Disney child star Lindsay Lohan and the studio’s current little mini moneymaker Miley Cyrus. The ladies now hate each other after both battled it out for the honor of escorting the Olympic hero on-stage at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.

A National Enquirer tattle claims: “It was nightmare. Both Lindsay and Miley were wildly excited at the prospect of waltzing on-stage with Michael, so producers proposed draping one on each arm-but the girls did not want to be with each other and neither would back down!

Digusted with the tag-of-war over Phelps, MTV ultimately blew off both starlets, opting to send the champion swimmer on-stage alone instead.

“Lindsay was fuming.”

Jordin Sparks Purity Ring VMA Rant: “No Regrets!”

Castina — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 16:25:57 +0000

Jordin Sparks does not regret her outburst at Sunday’s Video Music Awards following Russell Brand’s persistent teasing of promise ring-wearers, like world-famous virgins the Jonas Brothers, for example.
The “Tattoo” singer admits that she could have selected a wiser choice of words.

“It’s something I feel strongly about,” the American Idol 6 winner tells Entertainment Weekly. “I wish I would’ve worded it differently — that somebody who doesn’t wear a promise ring isn’t necessarily a slut — but I can’t take it back now. It was a split-second thing, and it came out kind of wrong. Still, I don’t regret it.”

“I have nothing against him at all,” Jordin told EW of Russell.

Russell Brand The Jonas Brothers Purity Ring Controversy: “No Hard Feelings”

The Jonas Brothers say there are no hard feelings over the bashing they took at the hands of Video Music Awards host Russell Brand at Sunday night’s ceremony.

The British comic has apologized-well, sorta -for making fun of the young men’s decision to wear purity rings to demonstrate their devotion to saving themselves for marriage.

In an interview with the BBC, oldest brother Kevin says Russell didn’t ruin their big night: “We had a lot of friends there and everybody’s so nice. We had a good time.”

“For us it’s cool to see that he recognizes we are gentleman,” Nick added. “I think he did a good job. We saw him on Conan O’Brien and thought he was hilarious.”
