Katy Perry’s wax figure is headed to London

There are exactly six Katy Perry wax figures in the world today, spread out around the world from the US to Asia and beyond. I took a picture with one in Las Vegas! Well, one of those wax Katys (Katies?) is headed to London now for a special candy-themed Easter exhibition at the city’s Madame Tussauds museum. Here’s what a Madame Tussauds spokesperson had to say: “Katy’s amazing wax figure is paying us a visit from Madame Tussauds Sydney, and as it’s Easter we thought we’d pay tribute to some of the singer’s famous confectionary-themed performances.” Nice! I’m due to be seeing her next month and it’ll probably be pretty excellent – especially after seeing the giant inflatable taco labeled “Katy’s taco” that she put on Instagram. She’s so over-the-top with shit like that, and I love it. Side note: For anyone who’s been to a Madame Tussauds anywhere before, isn’t it freaky as hell how SMALL most of these celebs are? Like, height, frame size, everything. I felt like I was in a gallery of little people. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Is Alanis Morissette’s dog being held hostage?

I just had to use TMZ‘s original photo here because it literally made me laugh for a full 60 seconds before I pulled it together and tried to take this story seriously. Here’s the deal: Alanis Morissette is the owner of that handsome little canine above. His name is Circus, but he’s been kidnapped by Alanis’ former housekeeper when she got fired. The housekeeper is saying that Alanis gave her the dog because it was shitting everywhere but Alanis is saying they’re holding Circus hostage and now it’s some whole big thing. Alanis and her hubby Mario Treadway filed a lawsuit trying to get the dog back, but now she says there’s a red alert — the singer is afraid the bad guys out there now know how much Circus means to her and she’s afraid they’ll take the dog and hold it for a king’s ransom. Alanis’ hubby filed new legal docs, in which he says Circus “is not merely a piece of property. He is living and breathing,” adding each day he’s separated from the dog, “[my] heart suffers more and more.” Treadway says the house manager is ultimately motivated by money and not love.  He says because both he and Alanis are well-known singers, the price tag for Circus goes up and the maid thinks she can score $25K easily … or so he says. And here’s a video about this whole mess: I don’t really know what to make any of this. To be honest, Alanis has engaged in some less than savoury behaviour in the past regarding former employees, so who can say? Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry’s wedding was crazy!

Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry tied the knot in Malibu over the weekend, and while we’ve already learned that it was a beautiful and touching ceremony, apparently the reception was hardcore and more like a rock concert than a formal event. Tell us all about it, TMZ: According to our sources, Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen, Aisha Tyler, Steven Tyler, Juliette Lewis and Tobey Maguire were all in attendance. But the stars of the show were the people who took the stage, backed by 80s cover group Flashback Heart Attack: – Tobey Maguire’s little daughter Ruby sang “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” – Annabella Lwin from Bow Wow Wow sang “I Want Candy” – Martha Davis from The Motels sang “Only The Lonely” – Missing Persons’ Dale Bozzio sang “Destination Unknown” and “Walking in LA” – Terri Nunn from Berlin sang “The Metro” and “Take My Breath Away” (!!!) – Linda joined Terri on stage to sing “Sex (I’m A…)” – Terri finished with “Highway to Hell” Our sources say Linda MC’ed the whole show and the stage was mocked up to look like the classic rock club CBGBs. Um, that’s insane, vaguely hilarious and AWESOME. Who knew they even knew Tobey Maguire, of all people? How random is that? Still pretty thrilled for these two. Get it, ladies!

Rihanna is dodging Tyler Perry and it’s Whitney Houston’s fault

Rihanna‘s not really what you would call an actress, despite that awful appearance in Battleship – and I say that as a Rihanna fan. Singer? Of course. Fashion plate? I’ll buy it. However, she’s still hot shit in the celebrity world, so of course Mr. Madea himself, Tyler Perry, wants to book her in for a new movie role. The problem is, that’s never going to happen because Whitney Houston told RiRi before she died that Tyler Perry movies are for “fading black stars”. Ouch! From Radar: “Whitney put her off Tyler by warning her bluntly that ‘Tyler’s films are for fading black stars, not rising ones,’” the source said. “Rihanna so respected Whitney because in addition to being one of the biggest pop stars ever, she starred in hit movies such as The Bodyguard.” And Rihanna, also a multi-talented star, feels it will be better for her career to do something similar to the 2012 science fiction war film Battleship, for which she received glowing reviews, the source said. “She’s ruling out doing a Tyler Perry-style romantic comedy because she thinks she works better in action roles, playing the tough girl.” HAHAHA, okay. First of all, please tell me they’re going to continue making movies based on board games so Rihanna can star. Maybe she can play the role of The Car in the Monopoly movie? What about Lord Licorice in Candyland? I’m into it. Second of all, I feel like I need to watch the Madea movies now. Are they on Netflix? Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Kim Kardashian ran away from a blow job

Alright, I know that title was a bit crass for so early in the morning, but I couldn’t help myself. Kim Kardashian (and the entire Kardashian/Jenner clan, for that matter) are filming over in Thailand right now, and while they’re all #blessed to be experiencing the country’s beauty (yes, that’s seriously a hashtag they used), they also can’t forget to take time for some selfies. Kim was working on what she probably thought was gonna be a pretty bad ass selfie with an elephant, but things sorta went awry when the beautiful, majestic animal blew a ton of air out of its trunk and scared the shit out of Kim. Best of all, it was all captured in a photo! This is just hilarious. I don’t watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians or any of their other endless spinoffs, but if this was going to be in an episode, I’d make an effort to tune in. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook
