• Kelly Osbourne Is Furious that Kathy Griffin Is Replacing Joan Rivers on 'Fashion Police'

    Kelly Osbourne was not exactly best friends with Joan Rivers — in fact, the two actually clashed quite a bit — but that does not mean Osbourne did not have respect for her "Fashion Police" costar. In fact, when she found out that Melissa Rivers has handpicked Kathy Griffin to replace Joan on "Fashion Police," Osbourne made her dissatisfaction abundantly clear to everyone within earshot.According to a report by Radar Online, Osbourne also flipped when she found out what Griffin's starting salary on the show will be. Apparently, it is considerably more than what Osbourne started out with, and that is just one more reason for her to be ticked off. It is not like Griffin and Osbourne have ever seen eye to eye anyway, but these issues are only adding fuel to the fire.

  • The Senate Releases Detailed Report on CIA Torture Tactics Post-9/11 as U.S. Fears Retaliation Overseas

    Earlier this morning the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee released a 500-page report that is a summary of the CIA's post-9/11 torture program, which was intended to make prisoners of war give up crucial information. It has been widely reported that the Central Intelligence Agency took extreme measures in order to unsuccessfully make al-Qaida members talk in the years following 9/11. President Barack Obama supported the public release of the five-year investigation in the hopes that the American government will use it as a future example of what not to do.What we are learning from this report is that the people who worked in the "enhanced interrogation program" basically resorted to torture such as waterboarding, mock executions and threatened sexual violence under inhumane conditions for detainees — many of whom were later revealed to have no terrorism ties whatsoever. The U.S. government has confirmed that the program was more horrific than most Americans knew and that it went against our country's code of behavior. Obama quickly banned "enhanced interrogation techniques" once taking office after his 2009 inauguration.Of course, there is a dangerous downside to this full report being made public, and some lawmakers believe it was a "reckless" move because it can ultimately light a fire under those who are already wishing to bring harm to U.S. business at home and overseas. Embassies are under heavy guard and U.S. government buildings are at a heightened security as everyone waits for the international rage and backlash that is inevitably coming.

  • Jeanine Pirro of Fox News Claims that 'Minority Communities' Need to Be More Sensitive Toward the Police

    Fox News often finds itself under fire for the stance that the network appears to take on hot-button issues, and right now nothing is more volatile than the tension between police and their handling of the black community. Last night, Jeanine Pirro decided to ask for viewer feedback on whether or not police should be more careful in the way they deal with incidences occurring in black communities and the response was quite unified.In between people stating the obvious — that if you are not breaking the law then you are less likely to find yourself tangled in any sort of altercation — there was also the thinking that communities need to be more mindful of the police. Pirro backed up that notion and, interestingly enough, it Is a sentiment that even New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has echoed.Basically, the thinking is that there is a rift, and in order to fix it both sides need to take steps toward meeting in the middle. He also admitted last week, shortly after it was announced that NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo would not be indicted in the chokehold death of Eric Garner, that his own biracial son has been directed on how to carry himself if he should be stopped by a police officer.

  • Infamous Sexy Russian Spy Anna Chapman Was Ordered by the Kremlin to Seduce Whistleblower Edward Snowden

    It sounds like National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden is smarter than we realized. After meeting Russian spy Anna Chapman, he was wise enough to resist her charms, likely keeping his eyes on his own personal greater good. While searching for a safe landing spot in 2013, Chapman had made a move on Snowden, under direct orders from the Kremlin.According to a report by the "New York Post," Chapman was directed to seduce Snowden and completely win him over in an attempt to keep him in Moscow so Russian agents could spend some quality time with the NSA leaker. Needless to say, Russian agents would love to know what secrets and details the former contractor was still hanging on to about how the U.S. gathers its information.If Chapman had been able to successfully seduce Snowden and convince him to marry her, then he would have ultimately been stuck in Moscow, unable to leave without permission from the government. In the end, he opted only to meet the infamous spy on one occasion and side-stepped any of her public advances.

  • Tom Cruise's Daughter Isabella Ditches Hollywood and Scientology to Work as a Hair Stylist in London

    Tom Cruise seems like the kind of parent that would have a pretty clear career path picked out for each of his kids, doesn't he? Probably something rooted in Hollywood, and, of course, they would be as devoted to Scientology as he is, right? Well, in recent years both of his older children have opted to take different paths. Last we heard, Connor Cruise was off on a spiritual awakening and Isabella Cruise was attending school in London. Now it seems that she has actually been spotted working as a hair stylist in Vidal Sassoon's legendary salon!

  • Katherine Heigl Loves Having a Creative Say as Executive Producer on 'State of Affairs'

    Katherine Heigl is one of those actresses who has the kind of reputation that precedes her. She left "Grey's Anatomy" to star in a string of films, totally expecting to morph into a big-screen star. That did not exactly happen and her difficult reputation kind of took on a life of its own. For a while Heigl was having a tough time finding a job, and then along came "State of Affairs."While she was said to be totally against the idea of returning to prime-time television for the longest time, she is working as an executive producer on her new NBC show, which means a lot of creative control is now in the palm of her hand. Heigl was interviewed by The Wrap while at a fundraising gala for The Trevor Project, an organization connected with gay teen suicide prevention, and she said she never expected to enjoy her new role on the NBC drama as much as she has been.

  • Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen and Usher Perform for Sting, Al Green at 2014's Kennedy Center Honors

Earth, Wind & Fire, Jennifer Hudson, Usher and Mavis Staples performed a few of Green's hits, while Lady Gaga and Bruce Springsteen celebrated Sting.According to "USA Today's" coverage, Stephen Colbert opened the show by taking a respectful jab at politics and pop culture, which he is always ready to do."Tonight, Washington puts the arts above politics, because no matter what party you belong to, everyone wants a selfie with Tom Hanks," he said.

  • Is Amal Clooney Pregnant? New Photos Causing Speculation to Intensify

    Is that a baby bump under Amal Clooney's coat? It depends on who you ask, and if it happens to be George Clooney, then do not expect an answer because he is notoriously silent on personal matters. But these photos from the couple's night out in West Hollywood this past weekend are sure raising eyebrows this morning, Dec. 8. George broke every rule he had for himself by marrying Amal a little more than two months ago, and now we are wondering if a baby on the way might have been what lit the fire under his feet.Until dating Amal, George seemed to have his pattern down to a science. He would pick out the hottest, most itty-bitty woman he was drawn to and then he would spoil her for about 18 months. Basically, just long enough for her to believe they possibly had a future, and once topics like marriage or babies came up, George was out the door and onto the next lady. Before Amal, his women all seemed to come with an expiration date, so how did he go from that to the opposite extreme?

  • 'RHOBH' Brandi Glanville's Latest Boyfriend Dumped Her Via Email for Having Her Priorities Straight

    Brandi Glanville always ends up being one of the bright spots on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Sure, the network has super-hyped new soap star cast members Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson, but it is Glanville who has been sucking viewers into the show for several seasons now because she is the real deal. On a show filled with pretension, Glanville does not hide her humanness, which makes fans relate to her on a different level. Just yesterday the reality star announced on Twitter that her latest boyfriend dumped her — via email.That sounds like something straight out of an old "Sex and the City" episode, doesn't it? Apparently, the dude did not like the fact that Glanville's two boys with Eddie Cibrian will always be her first priority, and so she stepped over him publicly. The latest season of "RHOBH" is only a few episodes in and already Glanville has been seen attempting to patch things up with her one-time mentor Lisa Vanderpump and focus her attention on her girlfriends rather than desperately seeking Mr. Right.
