Katy Perry Has a Love-Hate Relationship with Google
Katy Perry pontificates on Google Alert addictions. Laurence Fishburne isn't speaking to his porn star daughter. George Clooney's girlfriend knows you're jealous of her, and she will rub her happiness in your face. Wednesday gossip indulges bad habits.
Katy Perry has a love-hate relationship with Google: "Any artist who says they don't Google their name is a big fat liar," she tells Rolling Stone. Then, tweeting a refutation of a rumor she read on Google, she tries to explain how she is not like everyone else who does exactly what she is doing now: "When you look at other celebrities' Twitter feeds and see them posting about something they read about themselves on a Google Alert, it's like, 'Uh, maybe you should stop Googing yourself every day, the world does not spin around you.'" If it becomes self-aware, we may have to destroy it. [RollingStone, images via Getty and RollingStone.com]
- Apparently Laurence Fishburne is not a fan of his 19-year-old daughter's porno, "Montana Fishburne: An A-List Daughter Makes Her XXX Debut," but since he never talks to her, it's no biggie: "I heard he's mad at me, but I haven't spoken to him yet. I feel pretty confident that I can work thigns out with them. I think he wants to support me in everything I do and thought he sees this now as a negative, I believe in time he will view it as a positive." [E!, Fleshbot(NSFW) ]
George Clooney's cocaine-scandal-plagued Italian model girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis has finally broken her silence, and here's what she says: Don't hate me because I bang George Clooney. Hate me because we cuddle afterwards. "There are some people who just don't want to see me happy," she tells Italian Vanity Fair. "The best revenge over jealous people is to be happy. Because that is the thing they do not forgive you for." She adds, "I know some women, very high profile women, who have taken his picture off their computer desktop." Apparently the "very high profile women" is Elisabetta's world are 13-year-old girls with celebrity crushes. [Us, People]

Another day, another "secret" Lindsay Lohan photo shoot. (When can we stop calling these "secret," and just admit this is normal work?) This time, she brandishes oversized scissors and shows her underboobs for a Marc Ecko clothing campaign. (Video here, pictures here.) Apparently LiLo shot this campaign while her court battle was going down—which is weird, because if she was keeping her appointments with Ecko, why couldn't his magazine have sent a reporter to get that damn interview she cheated them out of? Moral of the story: When Lindsay Lohan is too busy for you, she isn't. She's blowing you off to show her boobs to someone else, possibly your boss. [TMZ, People]

- After calling her wedding with Levi Johnston off, again, Bristol Palin has moved back into her mom's house, again.
