Have you been wondering who the woman in the YouTube “UnzipX” commercials? There have been several good guesses–Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, so to speak. However, those guesses, however good they are, are incorrect. The mystery lady is– Mariah Carey. Yes, Carey just had children–twins Monroe and Moroccan–but she looks better than ever! According to HollyBaby and a source for Star magazine, Carey has been working out at least two hours a day, every day of the week. She is also on a “spartan diet,” according to Star magazine’s source, saying Carey has relinquished most meat products, white flour and refined sugar.

We’ve heard of Lady Gaga dressing in drag for a magazine, but now there’s a new superstar dressing as a man for a fashion mag.

The fallout is still happening around the Kardashian family concerning the shockingly fast 72-day marriage and divorce of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Kris Jenner, Kim’s mom, went on the “Today Show” Wednesday morning and spoke with Ann Curry about the marriage. She said the marriage “certainly wasn’t a sham, certainly wasn’t for TV.” She also said that the marriage wasn’t about making money by selling the television rights.

Former “Survivor” winner and fan favorite Ethan Zohn had become a survivor not only on the show, but also from battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma. However, People is reporting that Zohn’s cancer has returned. According to People, Zohn learned of his relapse September 14. Zohn said to People that the cancer is in his lung area.

The “Twilight” films may set teenage hearts aflutter, but the HBO series “True Blood” is the franchise by which a lot more diehard vampire fans swear. For Stephen Moyer, it’s a dream gig — heck, it even landed him on the cover of “Rolling Stone.” In the new espionage thriller “The Double,” Moyer swaps out his accent to play an imprisoned Russian spy/assassin, Brutus, who comes face to face with the man (Richard Gere) who put him in prison. ShockYa recently had a chance to participate in a press day for the film, and chat with Moyer about his small screen hit and new film, his busy schedule, the challenges of shooting out  [ Read More ]

Right now, everyone is talking about Kim Kardashian’s 72-day marriage to basketball star Kris Humphries. Most people have come to the logical conclusion that it was a sham wedding only meant to boost ratings for the Kardashian’s reality show (and the Kardashian’s paychecks). However, People is reporting that Kris Jenner, Kardashian’s mom, is saying that everyone just needs to back off. According to the site, Jenner stated on the Johnjay and Rich Show that the judgement needs to end. ‘She made a decision based on whatever feelings she had,” she said. “I didn’t interrogate her.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Doris Day. You can’t watch her movies and still feel grumpy afterwards. I’m a big fan of Doris Day, so I’m glad to see Day get her due in the form of an award.

I’m sure some people might think it’s cool to be related to someone like Vlad the Impaler, a person who is the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s iconic novel “Dracula”. I’m not sure how Prince Charles might feel about it, but at least it makes for a good Halloween story. According to The Huffington Post, Prince Charles made some comments about his bloody relative on an upcoming television show in order to promote his interest in protecting the Transylvanian forests of Romania, which he once called a nation treasure during his visit to Romania earlier this year. The royal also said that because Vlad the Impaler is part of his ancestry,  [ Read More ]

If you thought ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” was crazy enough, it would be even crazier (and even more awesome and zany) if Pee-wee Herman was a part of the festivities. MSNBC is reporting that E!Online talked with Paul Reubens, the creator of the beloved character, and found out why he’s been in the audience of “Dancing with the Stars” so much this season.
