Taylor Swift Slammed in New Jonas Brothers Song
He said, she said has turned into she sang, he sang when it comes to Taylor Swift and the Jonas Brothers. Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas had a relationship that ended badly awhile back, After the break-up Taylor was very vocal about blaming Joe for the break-up and went on to pen a song about it called “Forever and Always”. Now it seems that Joe Jonas and his band the Jonas Brothers are striking back in their new single called “Much Better”. The lyrics in the new song are pretty harsh and they use Taylor’s own song, “ Teardrops On My Guitar” to slam her. The lyrics compare Joe’s new girlfriend Camilla Belle to Taylor and go as follows: And all the tears on her guitar, I’m not bitter. But now I see, Everything I’d ever need, Is the girl in front of me, She’s much better. Technically I guess she started it, but those lyrics are kind of mean.
Leann Rimes Accused of Stalking
Eddie Cibrian’s wife, Brandi Glanville, says Leann Rimes is a relentless stalker motivated by fame. Is Leann Rimes a stalker, or is Eddie Cibrian’s wife a jealous, scorned woman? If you ask me it’s tough to tell. It is hard to believe that a woman as beautiful, talented and famous as Leann Rimes would resort to stalking any man. However, it is also hard to believe that a celebrities wife would go to the public with such defamatory accusations without having proof. Rimes didn’t directly address the allegations, but says “I would never want to hurt my husband or anyone else with more lies dragged out in the press.” Rumors of an affair between Cibrian and Rimes swirled a few months back when the pair was caught together in questionable photos. They starred together in the movie Northern Lights.

Kate is Looking Great
Who knows what is true and what is false when it comes to Jon and Kate Plus 8 these days. That said, one thing is certain Kate is looking great. Pictures have emerged of mother of eight, Kate Gosselin, wearing a two piece bathing suit on the beach in North Carolina. The 34 year old reality TV star was spending some time in the surf and sand of Bald Head Island with her kids, bodyguard and nanny this past weekend.
It is well documented that Kate Gosselin had a tummy tuck to remove the extreme amount of excess skin left behind after being pregnant with six babies at once. However, Kate looks trim and tone all over. Rumor has it that Kate works with a personal trainer. Should Jon and Kate divorce, one thing is for sure, if eight kids scare off potential suitors, Kate’s bikini body could have them rethinking that decision.
