Are Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin dating?

Well, this is one I didn’t see coming. Apparently Jennifer Lawrence and Coldplay frontman (and soon-to-be former Mr. Paltrow) Chris Martin are an item. As in, a romantic one. Say whaaaat? What world is this? How did this happen? From E! News: Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin are seeing each other, multiple sources confirm to E! News. We’re told that the pair has been spending quality together since late June after the Oscar winner split with her X-Men costar Nicholas Hoult. Right, so basically we just have to take E!’s word for this because there is no corroborating evidence, no photos of them together, nothing. Still, I think I’m into this. I think Chris is an okay guy, Jennifer’s great, so why not? It’s so bizarre, but sometimes that’s the kind of pairing that works the best! Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Lady Gaga is pissing off her Japanese fans

Lady Gaga is currently terrorizing Japan, and not only is she annoying the country’s citizens, she’s also offending them in a major way. You see, in the photo above, she’s wearing an outfit with the Korean characters ?? printed on it. That translates to “color”, which is rather innocuous in and of itself… except it’s not in Japanese and some fans seem to think that Gaga can’t tell the difference between Asian countries. A thread has appeared on 2ch, Japan’s most popular online forum, titled: “Lady Gaga, Who’s Visiting Japan, Is Wandering Around Roppongi in Clothes with Korean Characters. This Proves That From the White Person’s Point of View, Japan and Korea are the Same.” Oh dear. Here are some of the comments within that thread: “She thinks South Korea and Japan are the same.” “Wearing clothes with Korean characters and sauntering about Roppongi is giving hate to Japan.” “Did Japan do something to her?” “Get outta here, you shitty white person.” “Is she trying to pick a fight with a Japanese person? lol” “Yep, just a dumb American.” “This kind of makes me not like her.” “It can’t be helped. But it’s a little sad she’ can recognize Japanese.” “Well, I have no clue about the difference between the U.S. and the U.K.” “Certainly looks like between Japan and South Korea, Gaga likes Korea more.” “Her songs are great. Truly great.” “Make no mistake, when Gaga is in South Korea, she’ll wear clothes with Japanese and the Rising Sun!” “She probably just thinks those characters are a symbol. No biggie.” “Waaah. This certainly makes her less cool.” Apparently 2ch veers semi-conservative and Japan and South Korea aren’t on the best of terms at the moment, so that may be increasing this situation. Do I think Lady Gaga thinks all Asian countries are the same? I don’t know, some people are just ignorant like that. However, do I think she actually set out to offend anyone or gave much thought to this? Not really. Not thinking isn’t really an excuse (and in fact is often the problem in situations like this), but I do think she’s done far more blatantly offensive things in her time.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s marriage is “better than ever”, apparently

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are an absolute trainwreck and should have divorced long ago since they will no doubt continue to deteriorate and destroy the lives of their children with their bullshit moving forward. But hey, don’t worry! They’re doing better than ever! Their family is totally fine despite Dean’s incessant cheating, Tori’s general insanity and the fact that they’ve televised all of it! From Tori’s site, EdiTORIal: As all of you know, our family has been through a lot this last year. I’m happy and proud to say that we are doing really well, and that Dean and I are working very hard to make our relationship and our family better than ever. I’m proud of Dean for all of the hard work he’s been doing on himself, and I’m excited that he is back to blogging over on The Gourmet Dad! LOL, all the hard work he’s been doing on himself? What, and other women? All the reality TV series and potential paychecks in the world wouldn’t be enough to keep me in a sham like this, but I guess to each her own. I’m sure you’ll all be lining up to request a recipe from Dean “The Gourmet Dad” McDermott! Follow us on Twitter | Facebook
