Tough Love for Knox and Hester
The Bears receivers had a tough game against the
Saints. Roy Williams didn't play because of a groin injury, Earl
Bennett was knocked out early with a chest injury, and Devin Hester and
Johnny Knox made three catches -- combined.
But receivers coach Darryl Drake would like you to ease up on his players.
"We've got what we've got, and people need to embrace what we've got and stop (whining) about it," he said. "Things are not going to change, so why talk about them? If you're a true Bears fan why beat them up? They're ours. Let's embrace them so they know we love them and they'll continue to play to the best of their abilities. Complain about them at the end of the year. But right now, don't complain."
Perhaps Drake is right. We
just need to use a wide-angle lens on the Bears receivers, tell them we
love them and wait to judge until the season is over. And after we
show the Bears receivers love, we'll be sure to give them orange
slices, juice boxes, and invitations to our birthday party at Monkey
Island.
It's not odd for Drake to
protect his players, as he nearly ran over a group of reporters with a
golf cart in Bourbonnais when a story was published that Knox had
asked for a trade after losing his starting spot (OK, it was just me,
and maybe I need to improve my reflexes). But does he really think
fans should be satisfied with Sunday's performance?
The truth is that the
Chicagoans love the Bears, and they're just showing the Bears receivers
tough love. Though Williams will likely be back Sunday, Earl Bennett is likely out for the game.
The Bears will be facing the Super Bowl champs. Though safety Nick
Collins is out for the season, the rest of the Packers secondary will
apply the same kind of pressure that the Saints did.
A true fan expects more out
of the team they love, so Bears fans hope to see that Knox and Hester
show that they can deal with the Packers defense to the best of their
abilities. It's just some tough love, Coach Drake.
Jennifer Aniston Was Furious With Brad Pitt for Commenting On Their Marriage
Shortly after Parade published its interview with Brad Pitt and quoted him as saying he attributed his previously "pathetic" life to the fact that he was married to Jennifer Aniston, Pitt smartly and quickly issued a clarification that stated his words were misinterpreted by the magazine, saying "the
point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was
becoming dull to myself -- and that, I am responsible for." He went on to say, "It
grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly
giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an
important relationship I value greatly."
But Us Weekly claims that Aniston doesn't believe Pitt set the record straight fast enough. On Aniston's reaction to Pitt's comments to Parade, a source told the publication, "She was annoyed. She thought it was rude an inappropriate." Another source claims Aniston's "team" was so outraged over the actor's comments that her agent and publicist "went ballistic" and even went as far as to place some angry phone calls to Pitt's representatives. The source explained, "They got his team involved and Brad was read the riot act -- the only way you can read the riot act to Brad Pitt." Apparently it was their actions that led to Pitt issuing additional remarks about their 4½ year marriage.

Justin Bieber Not ‘Ruling’ Out College
NEW YORK, N.Y. --
Justin
Bieber is very, very busy being an international teen sensation and pop
superstar, and while he has no immediate plans to attend college, he
revealed to Access Hollywood that further education could still be in his future.“I’m not ruling that out,” Justin told Access, clarifying earlier statements to the media that seemed to suggest he had no plans to attend college. “I’m just saying at this point I’m 17, I plan on doing this a long time.”
Who can blame him for not planning to hit the books next year? Justin has sold millions of records across the globe, played to thousands of screaming fans, and is riding high atop a string of hit singles, including “Baby,” “Never Say Never,” and “Somebody To Love.”
“At this time I’m not really planning on going to a college, I have many other things that I’m working on and doing,” Justin said.
Disney Star Brenda Song Is Not Pregnant
Sorry Miley, but it looks like you're not going to be an aunt just yet. Despite rumors that previously circulated throughout the web, Brenda Song's mother has confirmed that her daughter is in fact NOT pregnant with Trace Cyrus' child (or anyone's child for that matter). In an exclusive interview with Star magazine, the Disney star's mother commented about the accusations and stated, “She’s actually not pregnant."
Brenda's mom also revealed that she herself has been battling cancer
and undergoing treatment. She said in a statement about that particular
matter, “It’s very upsetting to our family because of what I’m going through and it’s not how we raised her."
She must mean business laying the classic guilt trip down and basically
saying, I don't have time for this. She's got a point and I can respect
that.
According to her mom, Brenda is "very upset" over all of this. Who can blame her? It's a real blow to your self confidence if everyone is thinking that you're pregnant when you're not. And how do you think Miley feels? Having a new baby in the family would have definitely helped her in her quest to be viewed as an adult and not a Disney star. Maybe next year!

Justin Bieber Wears Women's Jeans
Justin Bieber attended Dolce and Gabbana's Fashion's Night Out extravaganza last week, and somehow he got to talking to Life & Style Magazine about how he wears women's jeans. He said, "I've worn women's jeans before because they fit me. It's not a trend; it's just whatever works, works." Then, Bieber reminded the reporter that Kanye West apparently wore a women's sweater a few days ago, and added "It wasn't [so he'd] look like a woman in a sweater; it was just a regular sweater that happened to be a woman's." Um... - Life & Style
Beyonce Has Very Unusual Pregnancy Cravings Share
It's a common assumption that pregnant women are going to develop some strange cravings (i.e. pickles and ice cream). While it may seem gross to those of us not growing a human being inside of them, I can see how these odd combinations can happen -- the baby wants one thing and you're craving another, so why not put the two together? But it looks like Beyonce's baby is following in its mother's diva footsteps and taking it a level above all the rest. Thanks to a source aboard the $400,000-a-week yacht Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z rented to cruise the Mediterranean, we now know exactly what the pregnant singer is craving these days -- and it's a pretty strange assortment.
According to what the source told The Sun, Beyonce is"snacking on Oreo biscuits and gherkins, Bounty ice creams with hot chilli sauce and she loves dipping bananas in ketchup. For breakfast, she's been having croissants with melted Dime bars inside." Talk about the "Best Thing I Never Had" -- that doesn't sound edible, let alone appetizing in any way. But whatever a diva wants, a diva gets. At least that's Jay-Z's philosophy since he's set on getting her everything she wants to ensure a happy pregnancy. We'll see how he feels at the end of 9 months. Have fun with all the trips to the store -- I'll be interested to see what other unusual assortments the baby comes up with. Does Top Chef know about you?

Miley Cyrus Hates Her Own Song, 'Party in the U.S.A.'
When Miley Cyrus' song, Party in the U.S.A.,
was released in August of 2009, it was a jam. It was ranked on the top
ten charts from eight different countries, and even landed the number
two spot on Billboard's Hot 100 list that year. Additionally, it was
(and still is) Miley's best-charted single, and even sold 4.5 million
copies as of April, 2011, thereby certifying it as a quadruple platinum
album by the Recording Industry Association of America. But people loved
it so much that they did way more than just listen to it on the radio.
In fact, Jimmy Fallon posed
as Neil Young and performed it with David Crosby and Graham Nash on his
late night show. The song was also sampled in an Andrew Hathaway remix,
where it was brilliantly spliced together with Biggie Smalls' Party & Bullshit. Furthermore, during an episode of the sixth season of NBC's The Office, Ed Helms' character of Andy Bernard and Ellie Kemper's character of Erin Hannon parodied it, and it was of course the inspiration to a Weird Al Yankovic track called Party in the C.I.A.
But it seems while we've all been busy loving the song, Miley Cyrus has been trying to forget about it. The New York Post reports that when Miley was at a party for Topshop in a club in Chicago on Wednesday, the DJ (DJ Kiss to be exact) asked the Disney star if there were any of her own tracks that she'd like to hear that night. Miley apparently openly requested her song, Can't Be Tamed, be blasted out of the speakers, but made sure to emphasize that DJ Kiss was not to play Party in the U.S.A. The DJ obeyed orders, and Miley was left alone to swing her hips "seductively" in front of her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth. So, does this mean we're not to listen to Party in the U.S.A anymore? Ugh, does Miley have any idea how long it's going to take us to come up with another excuse to ride a mechanical bull at a bar?

Lady Gaga To Ring In The New Year With Dick Clark
Lady Gaga's little monsters are in for a great surprise because the singer is set to perform in Times Square on Dick Clark's New Year's Rocking Eve with Ryan Seacrest.
It's certainly been quite the successful year for the pop queen and
given her great love for New York City, it's no wonder she accepted --
we're happy to have her. Seacrest announced the news today that the Born This Way
star would be performing just minutes before the infamous ball drop
ceremony, and knowing Gaga, it's sure to be a phenomenal (yet wacky)
experience. So even if you're like me and prefer to watch the ball drop
in the comfort of your own home instead of being pressed up against some
strangers, it will still be an enjoyable performance that can be
appreciated in person or via satellite. Gaga is just that good.
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes Kiss at Disneyland
It's not
uncommon for celebrities to start dating fellow celebrities, especially
when they work together on an upcoming film. The long hours, the late
nights, the romantic scenes together -- it's totally understandable.
Everyone wants to see the beautiful people who hook up on screen hook-up
in real life (art imitates life after all), but some stars seem to
think it's a mandatory requirement to date your co-workers. This past
weekend, Ryan Gosling was seen getting very cozy with his colleague, Eva Mendes, in Disneyland.
