We’re happy to report, Brad Pitt has finally given up his longtime cigarette habit and it turns out all he needed was a little guilt trip delivered by 2 of the 6 kids he shares with Angelina Jolie.

Brad Pitt Admits ‘It’s Shameful’ That He Knows Nothing About Baseball

Brad managed to keep his addiction from his children for years, but when he snuck away from the family’s rented home in Budapest for a quick puff, 6-year-old Zahara and 5-year-old Shiloh followed him down their garden path and caught him red-handed.

Brad Pitt ‘Wasn’t Living An Interesting Life’ With Jennifer Aniston

Brad’s apparently now sucking on nicotine-flavored lollipops (yuck) and undergoing hypnotherapy to get him through the cravings. Forget agents, super producers or managers, the only ones that can demand Brad tackle a project, is a pair of precocious kindergartners.

Yesterday on ryanseacrest.com, we premiered the first single from season 10 “American Idol” contestant James Durbin. It’s called “Love Me Bad” and according to James, the first time he tried to record the song it wasn’t the “love” that was bad, it was his voice.

Scotty McCreery Premieres Video For ‘The Trouble With Girls’

“We actually had to postpone the recording, because my voice gave out. My producer wouldn’t let me record the song. So, that was pretty funny, I’m like ‘Come on man, I can do this song, I swear,’ he said, ‘No You’ve had enough, man.’”

Apparently James’ vocal chords temporarily failed, due to all the strain he’d put on them trying to sing his heart out. Anyway, if you guys haven’t heard it, take a listen below and if you like what you hear, it’s available on iTunes as of today!

Since James Durbin graced the “American Idol” stage during Season 10 the rocker has been busy not only on the road for the American Idol Tour, but also in the recording studio. James has brought his rock ballad chronicling a devastating romance to RyanSeacrest.com to exclusively premiere his first single, “Love Me Bad.”

James Durbin Gives Encore Worthy Performance on ‘Idol’

“Love Me Bad” features Durbin’s impressive vocal ability and range, and showcases the emotional vulnerability his voice embodies while not compromising the strength of the rock ballad. Durbin has managed to imbue his hard rock song with a sensitivity of a painful breakup with a lover, and begging her to return.

James continues to impress us with his high notes and individuality. “Love Me Bad” will be available to download tonight at midnight on iTunes.

James Durbin Slays Another Song On American Idol [AUDIO]

“Love Me Bad”
A cigarette fills an empty room
Smell of heartbreaks and cheap perfume
Photos scattered across my wall
Maybe someday I’ll take them off, but I miss you
Yeah, I still miss you

Yeah!
In the middle of the night
When I feel you by my side,
Well it’s nothing but a memory.
What if we never said goodbye,
If I never made you cry
Baby this is killing me,
So love me bad, love me bad
Yeah love me bad again.

All those words I never said,
On my lips taste like regret.
Promises like fake tattoos
After all that we’ve been through
Well I miss you
Yeah, I still miss you

Yeah!
In the middle of the night
When I feel you by my side,
Well it’s nothing but a memory.
What if we never said goodbye,
If I never made you cry
Baby this is killing me,
So love me bad, love me bad
Yeah love me bad again and again and again and again and again…
Again and again and again and again and again…

Love me bad, love me bad, love me bad

In the middle of the night
When I feel you by my side,
Well it’s nothing but a memory.
What if we never said goodbye,
If I never made you cry
Baby this is killing me,
So love me bad, love me bad
Yeah love me bad again
So love me bad, love me bad
Yeah love me bad again and again and again

4. Nicole Richie and Benji Madden

Wow! We had to do a double take to make sure that wasn’t really Jennifer Lopez. Nicole Richie channeled her inner ‘Jenny From The Block’ to look exactly like the pop star. Nicole tweeted “Don’t be fooled by the rocks dat we got! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Love JLo & Hunter S. Thomson.” Complete with a fierce pose, we definitely think J. Lo would approve. But what’s a popstar without a man by her side? Benji Madden dressed up as Hunter S. Thompson for one memorable TwitPic.

Lady Gaga‘s Little Monsters will go to extreme lengths to get noticed by the superstar herself and YouTube stars The Hillywood Show are no different. Meet Hannah and Hilly Hindi who are ditching Halloween this year for Gagaween.

With a budget of roughly $3,000 and 3 weeks to work, the Hindi sisters created a tribute to Gaga that is so epic Mother Monster praised the video on Twitter.

@LadyGaga tweeted:

Lady Gaga Likes Taylor Kinney To Dress Up As A Vampire In The Bedroom

For Hannah and Hilly the shout out was a dream come true.

“I freaked out. I started screaming for my sister because she’s my other half and of course I have to tell my other half but she was at the gym. So, I picked up the phone and called my mom and burst into tears because I was so excited. It was a dream for me. I had no idea that morning while munching my cereal Lady Gaga would tweet it,” Hannah recalled.

“Just seeing her tweet it was like my day is complete, my year is great,” Hilly echoed.

The video features Hilly as a Gaga look-a-like so convincing it’s easy to think it’s Mother Monster herself! In the video we see several of Gaga’s infamous looks. For example, her all American two piece look from ‘Telephone’, Jo Calderone, and skeleton Gaga from ‘Born This Way.’ The Gaga impersonator even crawls along the sidewalk in a full mermaid get up. Bloody Gaga emerges from under a bed and chops up Kermit the Frog stuffed animals to fashion a dress as well.

The sisters hoped for at least 100,000 views for Gagaween and are now at almost 900,000 views.

But this isn’t the first brush with fame Hannah, 24, and Hilly, 20, have had. The creative sisters are best known for their Twilight parodies that have reached over 5 million hits on YouTube. The two started making videos in 2006 when AOL put out a contest asking teens to create a parody video. The sisters were third out of thousands of entries. Fans loved their impersonations so the girls decided to create The Hillywood Show.

New ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn’ Trailer Released, Twi-Hards Go Nuts On Twitter

The sisters ultimately dream of getting their own television show that would resemble Saturday Night Live for teens.

“Our future goal is definitely to get The Hillywood show picked up by a network. We think it would be great for young adults. It would be great to have an SNL variety show for teens and on pop culture. That’s our ultimate goal,” the girls said.

The Las Vegas natives currently work as dance instructors and impressively create every aspect of their elaborate videos. The videos are solely funded by them and can cost as much as $10,000 to make. From the costumes to makeup to cinematography every detail is a collaborate effort between Hilly and Hannah.

“The thing about The Hillywood Show that’s so different from any other parody show is that we really try to replicate everything from head to toe. That’s what sets us apart. We don’t just film ‘Breaking Dawn’ in our kitchen. We make sure the set looks legit as possible, we take pride in that and really cherish that,” said the sisters.

Despite their close age, the sisters don’t let fights or creative differences come between them.

“She’s my shadow and I’m the shadow of her. We’re like one brain, she’s half and I’m the other half even though we’re four years apart,” explains Hilly.

While they’ve reached YouTube fame with over 110,000 subscribers the sisters also travel with the official Twilight conventions and Vampire Diaries conventions. But they’re also fans of other YouTubers.

“We love Kaleb Nation, he’s pretty cool,” said the Hindi sisters.

The next video we can expect from the comedic duo will be a ‘Breaking Dawn’ parody that is sure to meet and exceed fan expectations. In the meantime, have a Happy Gagaween and enjoy the Hindi sisters’ Tim Burton inspired parody.

She initially wrote, ‘Ryan, I’ve been dating a married man for a year and a half. He’s been telling me that he’s going to divorce her. He hasn’t. Part of me feels that I’ve been played. I need to know where his heart belongs.’

Well, Producer Patty got right to the phone, pretending to be a florist from ‘Beautiful Flowers For Less.’ She called Amanda’s “guy” to offer him a free dozen roses to see if he’d send them to Amanda or his wife. After a moment to think, he decides to send the roses to Amanda with a card reading, ‘You’re amazing. Thank you.’

After hesitation about being on the air, he admits he’s not stringing Amanda along. He says, “My head is in a complicated place, but when I’m with you, it is what it is…I have never done anything to make Amanda think that she should not be with me. My relationship has been kind of a disaster with my wife for a long time, and we have agreed to separate. But it’s complicated…I’m going to figure it out or try to figure out the details because I have children.”

UPDATE: Kim has released an official statement to E! News regarding news of the divorce:

After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.


Ryan Seacrest confirmed during “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” that Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from Kris Humphries after only 72 days of marriage.

“There are reports online that Kim Kardashian is filing for divorce. That is true,” Ryan explained. “She is filing for divorce from Kris Humphries this morning. I’ve spoken to her briefly, and she is sad and got caught up in all that was going on [in the wedding]. We’re going to have a statement from Kim in just a little while. There were rumors up until the wedding, and after the wedding a lot of rumors about it. It is true.”

According to E! News, divorce papers cited “irreconcilable differences,” and since there is a prenuptial agreement in place, Kim asked that the terms of the agreement be upheld. The 31-year-old will be represented by veteran divorce lawyer Laura Wasser who has also handled other A-list celebrities including Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie, and Ryan Reynolds.

Speculation as to the primary cause of the split, but it’s long been reported the two regularly butted heads on where the pair would call home. Minnesota, where Kris is from, or Los Angeles which is home for the Kardashian clan.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” starlet, Lisa VanderPump, called into “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” Monday to comment on the new season of the hit show and all of the drama it brings.

Kyle Richards ‘Apologizes To Brandi Glanville & Anybody I Let Down’ [AUDIO]

This is Lisa’s second year with the other girls of Beverly Hills, and she’s built quite a friendship with castmate, Kyle Richards, but that doesn’t mean she has to agree with everything Kim has to say.

“Kyle certainly seemed kind of regretful. But what I heard about that night, it wasn’t quite what I thought. I was backing her [Kyle] up, but I heard she [Brandy] called Kim a drug addict, and that just didn’t sit well with me.”

Lisa continues, “I’m not worried [about Kim.] You’ll see this week she’s met somebody else. Somebody new in her life. She is on a different path then she was last season. Certainly alot of odd behavior.”

Lisa isn’t worried for Kim, and she doesn’t want to spill the beans on tonight’s episode involving Kim and her so called drug addiction. She says, “It’s like giving you the last pages of the books. You’ve got to sit and watch it.”

Aside from the “Real Housewives” drama, Lisa has been practicing her singing skills for a new song she’s just recorded. Just the other day, she was having dinner with legendary singer, Lionel Richie, and the two came up with the idea for Lisa to release a single she first recorded karaoke style. She shares, “It’s just a different play on an old classic, and he liked the vocal, and so, there we have it…I think that’s the only song, I’ll ever make.”
