Taylor Swift: Unlucky with Love

Having had her fair share of failed romances, Taylor Swift admits that finding love is difficult for someone with her hectic travel schedule.

“It’s always going to be long-distance, even if I date the boy who lives next door to me in Nashville,” Swift tells Glamour magazine. “I’ll be flying to see him and flying him places to see me.”

The 19-year-old country cutie adds, “It feels like it would involve more scheduling, and I already deal with a lot of scheduling in my life.”

Switching topics, Miss Swift also talked about the inspiration behind her lyrics, saying, “I love to write honest songs that name real people, then get up onstage and live out those emotions in front of of 15,000 people. Penciling in a night to get wasted is not something I want to do.”

Madonna Wins Adoption Appeal

She was heartbroken when her application to adopt Mercy James was denied by the Malawian government earlier this year.  But now Madonna has won the appeal process and will be adding the 3-year-old to her brood.

According to Madge’s lawyer Alan Chinula, she’s been up all night in anticipation of the announcement, made this morning in Malawi.

Chinula told press, “It’s the early hours in New York now but my client has been awake all night waiting for this.  She was ecstatic when I broke the news to her.  She said, ‘Thank heavens.’”

The next step in the process is for Madonna to arrange for a private jet to pick up Mercy via Philippe Van Der Bossche, the director of her Raising Malawi charity.  This is said to be currently underway.

“The most challenging part of playing the role of Elle was just trying to be the mean girl,” Kim told People magazine. “I’ve never really been that outspoken girl. It’s the confrontation that I’m not used to, so I think doing that was really kind of refreshing in a weird sick way.”

Lady GaGa Likes Girly Boys

She’s one of the hottest artists in popular music these days and Lady GaGa recently confessed to FOX Pop Tarts that she’s into a certain type of guy.

The “Just Dance” songstress told Tarts, “I like boys that look like girls.  All my boyfriends look like Nikki Sixx, amazing.” And it seems that GaGa is all about mixing her personal life into her songwriting.

She explained, “I’ve dated a lot of guys that are really into sex and booze and gambling so I wanted to write a record that my boyfriends would like.”

“But something I don’t really talk about is if you listen to the chorus I say ‘he’s got me like nobody’ then ‘she’s got me like nobody.’ It’s got an undertone of confusion about love and sex.”

Jack McCollough Shows Off Bandaged Snout

Showing off his mangled mug, fashion designer Jack McCollough was spotted leaving a New York City office building on Friday (May 8) all bandaged up after having surgery on his nose the previous night.

Accompanied by a gal pal, McCollough strolled past paparazzi, who have been tailing the Proenza Schouler designer ever since reports that he was head-butted by “24” star Kiefer Sutherland at an afterparty following the Met Costume Institute on Monday night.

As for the damages, Jack’s rep told People magazine, “Mr. MCCollough suffered a broken nose in three places as a result of the assault. He received medical treatment last night after consulting with physicians… (he) had to have his nose reset. It’s painful and it felt horrible.”

Meanwhile, Kiefer now finds himself in court accused of third-degree assault, with an arraignment scheduled for June 22nd.

Kiefer Sutherland Headbutts Proenza Designer Maybe Protecting Brooke Shields

Some drama went down after Monday night's Costume Institute Gala involving Kiefer Sutherland, Brooke Shields, and so-hot-right-now designer Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler. The details are still a bit iffy, but the gist of the story is that Kiefer headbutted Jack, which sent the designer to the hospital. According to Kiefer's side of things, Jack knocked Brooke over at an afterparty, which caused the altercation. Other rumors say that Brooke was in an argument with Jack, and when Kiefer demanded he apologize, Jack refused, which caused it to get violent. Brooke's rep, on the other hand, says that McCollough did nothing wrong. Unfortunately, stories of Kiefer's behavior earlier in the night don't necessarily help the credibility of the actor, who is still on probation from his DUI. The whole thing sounds a bit fishy, but we'll see how it unfolds as more and more details emerge. Source

Hugh Jackman Talks Gay Rumors

Ever since he played Peter Allen, a flamboyantly gay singer-songwriter on Broadway, rumors have been swirling that Hugh Jackman has a thing for the fellas.

The oh-so-confident actor (who’s been married to a woman for over a decade), recently told Parade magazine, “I’d be happy to go and deny it, because I’m not. But by denying it, I’m saying there is something shameful about it, and there isn’t anything shameful.”

Jackman continued, “The questions about sexuality I find more here in America than anywhere else, because it’s a big hang-up and defines what people think about themselves and others.  It’s not a big issue in Australia.”

In other news, Hugh left his mark in Hollywood just yesterday by having his hand and footprint cemented at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

In an attempt to quash the romance rumors, Tizzie recently told Ryan Seacrest, “We are really good friends. He’s directed all my videos and we have a great relationship. I am single right now. I am not jumping into anything. But ya, he is a really very good friend and he is definitely very hot.”

Ex-Idol Hopeful Arrested at Britney Spears's House

Some drama went down at Britney's house yesterday morning when a 26-year-old woman dressed in camouflage snuck into the singer's Calabasas community and peeked into her house. Security alerted police, who came and arrested Miranda Tozier-Robbins for trespassing and disorderly conduct. She was released after she agreed to a June 16 court date. Miranda's mother was surprised to hear about the arrest and said her daughter has "never been in trouble before. I guess she just wanted to see Britney." Miranda auditioned for American Idol multiple times, including singing Britney's "Everytime" trying out for the fifth season. Britney wasn't home at the time of the incident, but she didn't seem fazed when she performed at the Staples Center in LA last night - she even got to be a part of a couple's big moment when a guy got on stage to propose to his girlfriend.

Peter Facinelli was elsewhere in the audience as were Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz.

Tiger Mistress Cori Rist Gets Holiday Blessing

While she’s certainly been dealing with numerous troubles, Cori Rist, one of Tiger Woods’ mistresses, was the recipient of good news earlier today (December 15).

The Rossford, Ohio native was told by a judge that she will be allowed to take her young son home to the Buckeye state for the holiday season.

After Miss Rist passed her court-ordered drug test, Judge Gloria Sosa-Lintner made the ruling, at which time she also prohibited Cori’s ex-husband, Neil Santos, from any overnights with the 7-year-old boy.

Upset over the decision, Santos told press, “She’s the one accused of being an escort. She’s not the one being put on the stand, I am.”

Not hearing his griping, Judge Sosa-Lintner said, “Neither party is to speak disparagingly of each other to the child. No corporal punishment of any kind.”

John Mayerâs Dating Hiatus

He claims to be taking a step back in the dating world these days, at least that’s what John Mayer told Ellen DeGeneres.

The 32-year-old musician tells Ellen, “I don’t know if you know this, but I have sort of a funny track record. Which is actually not that strange given my age. I’m a little freaked out right now about it, to be honest.”

In the past, Mayer has been romantically linked to Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

He continued, “I have a good heart. I think I may have gotten lost a couple of times, but so does everybody. I’m just going to hunker down. 2010 is a peaceful year for me, no matter what I do.”

To catch the entire interview, tune into “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” today (December 15).

Rachel Uchitel Canât Get No Privacy

Prying her way past the pack of shutterbugs, the mistress of Tiger Woods headed off to pick up some specialty dog food for her two prime pooches before hitting up the Equinox Fitness Center for some exercise.

Meanwhile it seems the jury is still out on whether Rachel’s famous golf lover Tiger Woods is a sex addict as he’s claiming.

An expert told press, “There are a lot of people out there calling him a sex addict.  But you have to ask is this really the behavior of an addict, or this the behavior of a very rich, powerful, celebrity, man, who has been given lots of opportunities?”

Zac Efron and Claire Danes: Chelsea Chums

Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Zac Efron and Claire Danes were spotted at the Cinema Society screening of “Me and Orson Welles” in New York City last night (November 23).

The “17 Again” stud and the “My So-Called Life” actress looked classy as they posed for pictures outside Chelsea Cinemas before heading inside.

And though Mr. Efron is mostly known for his song-and-dance teen appeal, he says he’s ready to stretch his acting legs when the time is right.

“I would love to try an action film at some point, but not too soon. I think that can be a kiss of death. There’s got to be a real role that I can bring something unique and specific to, a way for me to do it believably. Until then, I think it would just come across as weird.”

Taylor Lautner Visits âLive with Regis and Kellyâ

Quite the fan favorite, Taylor Lautner got an early start to the day’s promotional efforts in New York City on Thursday (November 19).

In a recent interview, Mr. Lautner told press that his favorite part of being an overnight sensation is all of the places he’s been able to see.

“It’s traveling the world in general and seeing this kind of fan support worldwide. We go to Sao Paolo, Brazil, and then we go to Mexico City, we go all over the world and we have fans there with the same amount of passion everywhere we go. It’s just amazing to know we have that kind of fan support behind us.”

Zac Efron Touches Down in London

Hot on the promotional trail, Zac Efron was spotted arriving at London’s Heathrow Airport on Wednesday (November 18).

The “High School Musical” hunk is in town for the premiere of “Me and Orson Welles” in the UK.

In related news, Zac chatted with Extra about his avid fans, saying, “The idea of going to a fairly secluded place and to fly away for a couple of weeks… I was so excited to leave all the attention behind.
