CHRISTINA AGUILERA Opens Up About Her Turbulant Year

Anything Hollywood team — Tue, 17 May 2011 18:11:14 +0000

CHRISTINA AGUILERA opened up to MATT LAUER about her past year that’s been full of Hollywood rumors ups and downs. For starters, Aguilera divorced her husband and started a new relationship with boy toy, Matthew Rutler. Secondly, she flubbed the National Anthem, was booked for public intoxication and has reportedly acted like a diva on the set of her new show ‘The Voice.’

What does Aguilera have to say about her friends and family staging an intervention for the singer earlier this year?

“I think there were some definite ex, disgruntled employees along the way. Whenever things happen like this to you, some people just want to kick you when you’re down. I’ve been in this business a very long time. . .and you’re going to have your high moments and your low moments. Some people like the drama of creating [stories] around you to make themselves look better, like, ‘Oh, I saved her,’ when really you just have to be a friend and support.”

Sounds like denial to me. Will Christina Aguilera be the next star to enter rehab? Or was it all blown out of proportion?

Kanye West Disgusted With Matt Lauer Interview, Says He’s Not Doing Press Anymore

Anything Hollywood team — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 20:24:52 +0000

Kanye West appeared on The Today Show with Matt Lauer this week and was so disgusted by the result that he’s sworn off press appearances. Everyone knows Kanye West can’t do anything without getting his feelings hurt or protesting in outrage over something (real or imagined) and his Matt Lauer interview was no different.

Kanye West first chided Matt Lauer for showing a clip of the VMA’s while answering a question about Taylor Swift. He said playing the tape for viewers while he’d talked was “ridiculous” and then he got angry at people behind the scenes talking while he did, telling them to “be quiet.”

Later he took to his might Twitter and told the world that he doesn’t trust anyone, everyone has an agenda, and he’s never going to do press ever again.

That, of course, is highly unlikely. Kanye needs these little dramatic outbursts in order to keep living, I think.

Check out the clip below:

Matt Lauer Furious Over “Fake” Divorce Reports; MIL Confirmed It

Anything Hollywood team — Fri, 14 May 2010 06:45:54 +0000

Matt Lauer is furious over “false” divorce reports, even though his mother in law confirmed it! Matt needs to get his wife and get their stories straight! Are they or are they not divorcing?

More pictures of Matt after the split…

Matt was wearing his ring on the Today show this morning, so he must not know what’s going on either. From People Magazine:

“I am living in my apartment with Annette and my children as a family and a couple,” Lauer tells PEOPLE exclusively in an interview from France, where he’s been co-anchoring the NBC morning show from the Cannes Film Festival. “I have never moved out. I am not moving out. There is no truth to that.”

OOOOK. So, it sounds like they are not and his mother in law just doesn’t like him very much. Kind of like Tom Cruise!

Barack Obama was forced to acknowledge Jessica Simpson’s weight controversy during an interview with Matt Lauer. Apparently the Obama‘s shared a cover of US Weekly with Jessica Simpson where the editors cropped out Obama‘s face to make room for Jessica in those infamous high-waisted jeans and leopard print belt, with the words “Weight Battle”. When Matt Lauer pointed this out, Obama jokingly admitted it was a little “hurtful.” (Watch video below)

more photos and video after the jump…

Wow. Even during an interview with the president while the economy is in shreds, the country is at war, and we’re on the brink of passing a historically high bailout package, Jessica Simpson still manages to squeeze her way into the periphery. Absolutely amazing. Somewhere Papa Joe is smiling.

Via ET Online he says in the interview:

“That’s one of those things that you go, ‘I could have handled that better.’ I didn’t communicate it the way that I wanted to communicate it. That’s not who I am. I learned a good lesson…”

Will you go see Tom’s new movie, Valkyrie?
