			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CBS has launched a new commercial video for the upcoming season of <em>Big Brother 12</em> and a fresh official website for the show. Plus, for those rabid BB fans out there, the <em>Big Brother 12 </em>Live Feed Special Discount is now live! <em>Big Brother</em> is promising new competitions, new twists and lots of drama this season. We can&#8217;t wait!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Big-Brother-Special-SF.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1264" title="Big-Brother-Special-SF" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Big-Brother-Special-SF.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="322" /></a></p>
<p>The latest <em>Big Brother 12</em> commercial video doesn&#8217;t really give us much in the way of hints on the houseguests or what to look forward to on the new season. But we&#8217;ll take any teasers we can get until the premiere on July 8th. The new <strong><a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/big_brother/" target="_blank">official CBS <em>Big Brother 12</em> website</a></strong> is looking good, but so far it doesn&#8217;t really have much to pick over yet either.</p>
<p><center><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0SDvDU6hVXY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0SDvDU6hVXY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>For fans who just can&#8217;t get enough of Big Brother and just have to know everything that they don&#8217;t (or won&#8217;t) show you on TV, there are also the 24/7 Big Brother 12 Live Feeds launching on July 8 as well. Our friends over at <em><strong><a href="http://www.bigbrotheraccess.com">BigBrotherAccess.com</a></strong></em> have announced a special Early Bird discount on the <em>BB</em> Live Feeds from RealNetworks SuperPass.</p>
<p>Fans who want to subscribe to the live feeds can get three months for the price of two if they sign up before July 7. Check out all the details on the <em>Big Brother 12</em> Live Feed and the discount <strong><a href="http://bigbrotheraccess.com" target="_blank">here</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have to tell you a very dirty little secret&#8230; We are crazy mad <em>Big Brother</em> addicts! Yes, we are actually marking the calendar down until the <em>Big Brother 12</em> premiere on CBS July 8th. Our real addiction, however, isn&#8217;t the <em>Big Brother 12</em> regular show on CBS or the Showtime <em>Big Brother After Dark </em>series. Our really nasty habit we can&#8217;t break is a 24/7 lust for the <em>Big Brother 12</em> Live Feed!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Big-Brother-GG.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1260" title="Big Brother GG" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Big-Brother-GG.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="322" /></a></p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t watched the <em>Big Brother</em> Live Feeds in previous seasons, you are seriously missing out. Only with the live feeds available from RealNetworks SuperPass can you catch every catfight, every hookup and every backstabbing, delicious manipulation going on between the <em>Big Brother</em> houseguests.</p>
<p>The <em>Big Brother 12</em> Live Feed gives subscribers exclusive access to video chats with previous houseguests, special live events and an awesome &#8220;Flashback&#8221; feature that lets you go back and watch any hot action you missed. What you see on CBS and Showtime is only the bare tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p>Yes, we admit we&#8217;re pushing this whole live feed thing, but we are only being truthful in saying you haven&#8217;t seen anything until you’ve watched what goes on in the Big Brother house they don&#8217;t show you on TV.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you &#8211; like us &#8211; simply must have every second of <em>Big Brother 12</em> that you can get, we recommend that you head over to <strong><a href="http://www.bigbrotheraccess.com" target="_blank">BigBrotherAccess.com</a></strong>. This is our absolute favorite site for keeping up to date on all the <em>Big Brother 12</em> news, scandals and gossip. Plus, they&#8217;ll be handing out the <em>Big Brother 12</em> Live Feed Early Bird Special starting June 17. You can check out the details for the special <strong><a href="http://bigbrotheraccess.com/big-brother-12-live-feed-early-bird-special-3-months-for-price-of-2-35136/" target="_blank">here</a></strong>.</p>
<p>We love <em>Big Brother</em> and <em>BigBrotherAccess.com</em> so much actually, our very own editor,<strong> L. A. Vess</strong>, will be heading over there this summer to spend some quality time keeping BB fans up to date on all the hot mess coming out of the <em>Big Brother 12</em> house. So be sure to give her a shout over there and bookmark the site for all the latest BB news!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gossip blogger <strong>Perez Hilton</strong> found himself in the center of a wildfire on Tuesday after posting a link to a <strong>Miley Cyrus</strong> upskirt photo on his Twitter feed. The photo appeared to show the 17-year-old star&#8217;s private parts as she awkwardly exited a car and some accused Perez Hilton of trafficking in child porn for posting the image.</p>
<div id="attachment_1257" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 435px"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Perez-Hilton-GG.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1257" title="Perez Hilton GG" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Perez-Hilton-GG.jpg" alt="Perez Hilton (Photo: Tyler Curtis - Wikimedia Commons)" width="425" height="391" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Perez Hilton (Photo: Tyler Curtis - Wikimedia Commons)</p></div>
<p>After being called everything from a child pornographer to a pedophile, Perez Hilton later removed the photo. He claims, however, that the photo was not child porn and he did not do anything wrong because Cyrus was obviously wearing underwear in other photos taken at the same time.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do you think Miley is that stupid to be out in public without panties?&#8221; Hilton said in a video post on <em>PerezHilton.com</em>. &#8220;Do you think I am stupid enough to post a photo of Miley if she is not wearing any underwear down there?&#8221;</p>
<p>Hilton said he posted the photo to demonstrate the &#8220;very unladylike fashion&#8221; of how Cyrus got out of the car with her legs spread, allowing paparazzi to snap photos of what was under her skirt.</p>
<p>Asked about the controversy on<strong> Ryan Seacrest</strong>&#8217;s radio show on Tuesday, Cyrus didn&#8217;t address whether she really was wearing underwear in the photo. Instead, she said Perez Hilton posting the photo was just &#8220;some idiot being an idiot.&#8221; Then, of course, she turned the whole thing into a plug for her new album. &#8220;Isn&#8217;t it funny things like that, that are so negative, have to come out right before my record?&#8221;</p>
<p>We really don&#8217;t care whether the Miley Cyrus upskirt photo actually showed anything or not. We don&#8217;t care if it was a fake Photoshopped to look like she was flashing her stuff. We do care, however, that Perez Hilton would post a photo of a 17-year-old girl that LOOKED like it showed her privates. In our opinion, that is pretty much child porn no matter which way you try to spin it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An enormous statue known as Touchdown Jesus burned to the ground in Monroe, Ohio Monday night after it was struck by lightning. The six-story statue, officially known as King of Kings, was built by the Solid Rock Church in 2004 and was well-known as regional landmark. We can&#8217;t help but wonder what the members of the Solid Rock Church think about their giant Touchdown Jesus statue being destroyed by an act of God.</p>
<div id="attachment_1250" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 435px"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Touchdown-Jesus-GG.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1250" title="Touchdown Jesus GG" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Touchdown-Jesus-GG.jpg" alt="Touchdown Jesus statue in Monroe, Ohio (Solid Rock Church)" width="425" height="293" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Touchdown Jesus statue in Monroe, Ohio (Solid Rock Church)</p></div>
<p>Maybe he/she thought it was unflattering, or got sick of all the semi-nasty nicknames for it. Some of our favorites include: Big Butter Jesus, Drowning Jesus and Quicksand Jesus. (And yes, there are <strong><a href="http://snarkfood.com/weird-news-giant-ohio-touchdown-jesus-statue-destroyed-by-lightning/38873/" target="_blank">even more nicknames</a></strong>.) You can probably guess most of the origins of those nicknames from the photo.</p>
<p>The Big Butter Jesus nickname isn&#8217;t quite as obvious, but apparently the statue had kind of an off-white buttery color under certain light. A comedian named <strong>Heywood Banks</strong> actually wrote a song called &#8220;Big Butter Jesus&#8221; dedicated to the statue.</p>
<p>Anyway, the huge Jesus statue was totally nuked after lightning apparently struck one of its hands and quickly consumed the rest. Apparently it was made out of Styrofoam and fiberglass &#8211; and very flammable.</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mUZ3d1tTbWg&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xd0d0d0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mUZ3d1tTbWg&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xd0d0d0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>The Solid Rock Church plans to rebuild the statue once it can afford to replace the $250,000 it took to make it in the first place. Personally, we think if someone up there decided to set Jesus on fire, maybe the church should think about spending that money some other way. Like feeding the homeless or clothing the poor. Just saying.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bret Michaels</strong>&#8216; condition is not good, <em>Celebrity Apprentice</em> host Donald Trump said on Monday. Michaels is still in the ICU under 24 hour surveillance after suffering a massive brain hemorrhage last week. Michaels&#8217; reps posted an update on the singer&#8217;s website saying he was undergoing further testing and remained in critical condition.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Bret-Michaels-GG.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1156" title="Bret Michaels GG" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Bret-Michaels-GG.jpg" alt="Bret Michaels (VH1)" width="425" height="283" /></a></p>
<p>Donald Trump told TMZ.com Monday that Bret Micheals is in &#8220;big, big trouble and the prognosis is not great.&#8221; The former <strong>Poison </strong>front man was competing on this season of Trump&#8217;s <em>Celebrity Apprentice</em> before falling ill. &#8220;He turns out to be an amazing competitor,&#8221; Trump said, &#8220;and ultimately that is the thing that could save his life.&#8221;</p>
<p>A representative for Bret Michaels posted an update on the singer&#8217;s condition on his official website, saying he &#8220;remains in ICU under 24 hour surveillance.&#8221; Doctors have reportedly not yet found the source of bleeding in Michaels&#8217; brain.</p>
<p>At the end of Sunday&#8217;s <em>Celebrity Apprentice</em>, a voice-over paid tribute to the singer turned reality TV star: &#8220;Everyone here at NBC wishes Bret Michaels a speedy recovery.&#8221;</p>
<p>We do as well.</p>

<p>Imes claims he was also molested as a child and was an alcohol and drug addict by the time he was 11. He said the sexual abuse of Mo&#8217;Nique happened for a year or two when he was 13 and she was 7 or 8.</p>
<p><center><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KdzpQWiiaUM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KdzpQWiiaUM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>&#8220;I abused and betrayed the trust of another sibling, my sister, my blood sister,&#8221; Imes said during the Oprah interview. &#8220;Hopefully, somewhere, somehow, as siblings, we can come back together as brother and sister.&#8221;</p>
<p>We hope Mo&#8217;Nique can at least feel some sort of relief at having her brother finally admit the abuse she had to go through at his hands.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Former <em>Bachelor: London Calling</em> winner <strong>Shayne Lamas</strong>, daughter of <strong>Lorenzo Lamas</strong>, got hitched in a surprise wedding in Las Vegas Sunday night. The former reality TV star reportedly married <strong>Nik Richie</strong> (of TheDirty.com) at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Sin City. The best part? Shayne Lamas allegedly only just met Nik Richie for the first time!</p>
<div id="attachment_1131" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Shayne-Lamas-SF.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1131" title="Shayne Lamas SF" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Shayne-Lamas-SF.jpg" alt="Shayne Lamas on 'The Bachelor: London Calling' (ABC)" width="400" height="363" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Shayne Lamas on &#39;The Bachelor&#39; (ABC)</p></div>
<p>Shayne Lamas and Nik Richie reportedly went for the &#8220;<strong>Michael Jordan</strong> Package&#8221; wedding, a $500 deal including 36 photos and a DVD of the wedding ceremony.</p>
<div id="attachment_1133" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/nik-richie-arrested-for-dui-mug-shot.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1133" title="nik-richie-arrested-for-dui-mug-shot" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/nik-richie-arrested-for-dui-mug-shot-150x150.jpg" alt="Nik Richie Mug Shot from DUI Arrest (LAPD)" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nik Richie</p></div>
<p>According to several gossip sites, the new couple is supposedly already trying to shop some of the photos out to the tabloids for cash!</p>
<p>You know this whole thing is just publicity pimping for Lamas. How long do you bet it will be before this love-at-first-site slam wedding will result in an &#8220;oh crap I&#8217;m sober now&#8221; annulment?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christian music star <strong>Jennifer Knapp</strong> spent seven years missing in action from the entertainment industry and living halfway around the world in Australia. Now the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter is back with a new album  and a new identiy. 36-year-old Knapp has come out as a lesbian, an extreme rarity in the Christian music industry.</p>
<div id="attachment_1124" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 366px"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Jennifer-Knapp.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1124" title="Jennifer Knapp" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Jennifer-Knapp.jpg" alt="" width="356" height="237" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jennifer Knapp</p></div>
<p>In fact, Jennifer Knapp is the now the only openly gay singer of her level in the Christian music genre. Knapp has a plan to deal with that, however. Her new album is mainstream, rather than Christian-oriented.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just wouldn&#8217;t find it respectful at all to say, &#8216;Hey this is something that you want in your store next to your Jesus statue,&#8221; Knapp said in an interview with Reuters. &#8220;It would just be disingenous to try to convince someone that they needed to do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Knapp may be venturing into the mainstream, but she says she still considers herself a &#8220;person of faith&#8221; and has not turned her back on the church.</p>
<p><em>Letting Go</em> will be released May 11 through Sony Music independent distributor RED. The album is Knapp&#8217;s fourth and her first since her 2001 <em>The Way I Am</em> gospel rock album.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Conan O&#8217;Brien</strong> launched his <em>Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television</em> tour in Eugene, Oregon Monday night and fans are reporting the show was a huge hit. Critical reviews were somewhat mixed, but overwhelmingly positive on the whole.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am not supposed to admit this,&#8221; Conan O&#8217;Brien told the crowd when he took to the stage for the first show of his comedy tour, &#8220;but ladies and gentlemen, I really missed the applause. You have no idea how shallow I am.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Conan-SF.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1115" title="Conan-SF" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Conan-SF.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="355" /></a></p>
<p>Conan O&#8217;Brien took time during the Eugene, Oregon show to poke fun at his former bosses at NBC, although few of the jabs had much serious sting to them. “I’m not allowed to say the word ‘peacock,’” O’Brien joked, “but I can say the words ‘pea’ and ‘cock.’”</p>
<p><em><strong><a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/movies/index.ssf/2010/04/conan_obrien_leaves_them_laugh.html" target="_blank">The Oregonian</a></strong></em> said the show &#8220;seemed to cheerfully roll around like an out-of-control soccer ball&#8221; and <em><strong><a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2010/04/13/conan-obrien-revives-edgy-late-night-vibe-at-first-live-show/" target="_blank">Rolling Stone</a></strong></em> called the first performance of the tour &#8220;extremely funny.&#8221; While most agree there were some slow moments here and there and a few awkward jokes that fell flat, the majority called the performance a roaring success for the ginger-haired comedian.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Brien will be stopping in Vancouver next before coming back to the U.S. for his next show in Spokane, WA. Check out a full list of upcoming tour dates <strong><a href="http://snarkfood.com/conan-obrien-tour-dates-announced/37340/" target="_blank">here</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Pink Floyd</strong> co-founder <strong>Roger Waters</strong> has announced he will go on tour with a full performance of the band&#8217;s <em>The Wall</em> rock opera in concert. <em>The Wall</em> tour will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd&#8217;s legendary stage show for the album.</p>
<p>Roger Waters says he will gift audiences with an &#8220;updated&#8221; version of the original The Wall stage show. The 35-date tour will kick off in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre on September 15.</p>
<div id="attachment_1108" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Roger-Waters-GG.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1108" title="Roger Waters GG" src="http://gossipandgab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Roger-Waters-GG.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Roger Waters</p></div>
<p>&#8220;Thirty years ago, when I wrote <em>The Wall</em>, I was a frightened young man,&#8221; Waters told Spinner.com. &#8220;It took me a long time to get over my fears. In the intervening years it has occurred to me that maybe the story of my fear and loss with its concomitant inevitable residue of ridicule, shame and punishment, provides an allegory for broader concerns: nationalism, racism, sexism, religion, whatever! All these issues and &#8216;isms are driven by the same fears that drove my young life.&#8221;</p>
