• Madonna doesn't think Adele has had enough problems (bad boyfriends, throat issues), and wants to add to the avalanche of crap by suggesting the singer join the Material Girl onstage. A vocal powerhouse and a woman known more for her leotards and Crypt Keeper arms? Works. Madonna can gyrate and crotch-thrust around Adele as she sings beautifully and stands perfectly still being a thousand times better than Madonna. [NY Post]
• You know that little part of the umbilical cord that falls off a week or so after a baby is born? Yeah, Hilary Duff kept her son's. Because she, Alicia Silverstone and January Jones are in a race to see who can make me throw up my lunch first. [People]
• Jason Segel does not want to be photographed with new girlfriend, human floral wallpaper Michelle Williams, and I don't want to see photos of Jason Segel and human floral wallpaper Michelle Williams, so let's call that a win for everyone involved. [NY Post]
• The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, has a new director, which is a good thing for those of us who had no idea what was happening during all those close-ups in the first movie. And seriously, why didn't the muttations look like the tributes? I was so looking forward to that part. Good riddance, guy! [E! Online]
• Kellan Lutz, the stunned wombat who is in those Twilight movies, desperately wants to be in Catching Fire. Luckily for those of us who aren't fans of watching soggy paper towels act, he probably won't be. [E! Online]
• If you watch
America's Next Top Model for anyone other than Tyra, you're S.O.L. as Ms. Banks went ahead and fired everyone. That's what happens when you get too big a
forehead. [

America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker is not taking the firing too well apparently. [

• Blind item: "Which cooking/lifestyle star threw a major hissy fit when the first-class cabin ran out of fresh lemons for her hot tea? The decorating diva berated a flight attendant for handing her a packet of lemon juice and then complained how she would demand a refund on her ticket!" [CDaN]
• Blind item: "This show was on a few years ago, but most the leads in the show are all working still and are solid B- listers. It was a modest hit show which was part of a hit night for a network. Yes, a network. Not an almost network or cable, but a network. It was supposed to be good family fun, but behind the scenes were some truly nasty things going on. The object of the entire mess was this teen who has not really done anything since because she was so traumatized by what happened. When she first came to the show she got involved with one of the actors on the show who was slightly older than her. He was experienced and she was not. He was really into drugs and she was not, but she thought he was the greatest and in love and they had sex all the time. While this was going on, one of the older actors on the show also wanted the teen. She thought of him like a father figure, but he wanted to be more than a dad. Well, one day he had way too much to drink and came on to the teen. She didn't want it, but she also didn't want to get fired so went along with sex. To this day she refuses to eat the food she was eating right before this happened and has a loathing for the cologne he was wearing. When she told her "boyfriend" about it he blamed her. When she told this B- list actress on the show about it, the actress told her to never tell anyone and that kind of thing happens and it had happened to her in the past before she got too big and they couldn't take advantage of her like that anymore. Well, our teen got pregnant. When she talked to her boyfriend, he said it was not his and that she deserved what she got. When she talked to the older actor about it, he said that he was married and had a family and none of this could come out. He then had his assistant make an appointment for the teen to get an abortion and to make sure the assistant went and made sure the procedure was completed. About three days after the procedure our teen got a call from the older actor. The teen though it was to apologize or to see how she was doing. Nope. He wanted to know if she wanted to come over to his place for sex." [CDaN]
