Khloe K

Khloe Kardashian, aka The Okay One, has had enough of the rumors that she is not a biological Kardashian.

There's a long-standing rumor that Khloe is not the biological daughter of the late Robert Kardashian, father to Kim and Kourtney and one-time attorney to OJ Simpson. The rumor got a little more traction after Kris Jenner admitted in her book that she had an affair during her marriage to Robert, and now two of his ex-wives, Jan Ashley and Ellen Kardashian, have spoken to Star magazine about the matter, admitting that Robert may have questioned Khloe's paternity.

"Khloe is not his kid – he told me that after we got married," Ashley tells the mag (via USA Today). For her part, Ellen K. says that Khloe was often the one to bring up the topic. "Khloe brought it up all the time," Ellen says. "She looked nothing like the rest. She was tall, had a different shape, light hair, curly hair. Didn't look anything like the other three children."

This morning on "Good Morning America," Kris Jenner opened up about the controversy, saying, "I've never heard such crap in my life. I gave birth. I know who the dad was." But ultimately, it may be Khloe who has the final say, as she took to Twitter yesterday to admonish her stepmothers for speaking to the tabloid. Read on to see what she had to say! Read More...

Tracy Morgan

It's easily the most self-referential show on television, so it should come as no surprise that "30 Rock" is set to tackle head on the controversy that erupted last summer after star Tracy Morgan made a series of violent homophobic comments during a Nashville comedy show.

During a June 3 standup comedy show at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, Morgan proclaimed that he would stab his own son if he were gay, criticized the media for promoting a gay agenda, said lesbians were just women who were angry at men and dismissed the wave of anti-gay bullying, which was at the time making headlines following a series of teen suicides, "insignificant."

Following a massive public backlash, the comedian apologized, saying, "I want to apologize to my fans and the gay and lesbian community for my choice of words at my recent stand-up act in Nashville," Morgan said. "I'm not a hateful person and don't condone any kind of violence against others. While I am an equal opportunity jokester, and my friends know what is in my heart, even in a comedy club this clearly went too far and was not funny in any context." Soon thereafter, Morgan teamed up with GLAAD for its "Amplify Your Voice" anti-bullying public service campaign, met with gay teens at New York's Ali Forney Center, the nation's largest organization serving homeless LGBT youth, and traveled to Nashville to apologize to audience members offended by his rant.

Now, rather than pretend nothing ever happened, "30 Rock" creator Tina Fey is set to incorporate the incident into an upcoming episode, according to MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts, who makes a cameo appearance on the show. "Well, you know how a lot of their episodes mirror their lives. They've incorporated [Morgan's rant] into the Tracy Jordan storyline," Roberts, who is openly gay, told the Huffington Post of the episode. "Liz Lemon writes Tracy's apology on the show and says he's not a homophobe, he's an idiot. That offends idiots, so while NBC is being picketed by the LBGT community, now it's also being picketed by idiots led by Denise Richards. She's the leader of the idiots."

It's a tricky subject for the very-meta "30 Rock" to tackle, but we have faith in Fey, who was as outraged as everyone else by Morgan's comments. Read More...

The first promos for Daniel Radcliffe's hosting stint on "Saturday Night Live" have turned up online and find the "Harry Potter" star in the "SNL" control room with Jason Sudeikis doing his best American accent. ("Chill broseph, I like Mountain Dew and big butts.")

(Of course, we know the truth about Radcliffe's American-ness after his recent brawl with MTV News' very own Josh Horowitz … which you'll find below.)

When Radcliffe stopped by MTV to talk about his creepy new film "The Woman in Black," Josh asked about his gig this weekend at "SNL" and Radcliffe told him that doing the show was a "no-brainer." "I had to think about it a little bit because it's, you know, it's the real deal. You live or die on that show. [But] ultimately it was a no-brainer," Radcliffe said. "I love Seth Myers. Bill Hader, I think is just unbelievable. That Alan Alda impression. Just mind-blowing. … I really wanted to do it. And it's very exciting. And it'll be the kind of stuff I like. Like, that kind of guerilla style of getting stuff done when you just have to get it done and nothing else matters. By the end of the week, you're going to be putting on an hour-and-a-half music and comedy show from scratch."

Check out Radcliffe's "SNL" promo – as well as MTV News' latest "American Talk: Ghost Protocol" with the "HP" star – after the jump. Read More...

The Onion decided to have a little bit of fun with all of the ridiculous rumors surrounding Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby girl Blue Ivy Carter and is breaking news that the evil witch Grisora has come to claim the superstar's first born as payment for Beyonce's perfect singing voice 15 years ago.

Here's how it all went down:

"When Beyonce was a young girl, she met a magical witch named Grisora in the woods while gathering berries and Grisora told Beyonce she would make her sing with the unmatched beauty of a thousand nightingales in return for her first born child," gossip columnist Bryan Spees tells "StarFix."

It seems Grisora has been keeping tabs on Bey and was even in the front row at the VMAs when she revealed her pregnancy (a tough ticket to get, Bryan notes) and even though Jay-Z offered her a room full of gold to go away, Grisora would not be dissuaded.

Take a little breather from all the Blue ivy craziness and watch the Onion's clip below:

Emma Stone

And now, a bit of good news: "30 Rock" returns to the air this week after delaying the start of its season to accommodate new mom Tina Fey, and it already looks to be lining up its usual roster of A-list guest stars, including our favorite young actress, Emma Stone.

Stone will guest on the January 26 episode, Fey tells Entertainment Weekly, as one of Jenna Maroney's (Jane Krakowski) co-stars in "Martin Luther King Day" – a new film "from the producers of 'Valentine’s Day' and 'New Year’s Eve.'" Also starring in "MLK Day" – Andy Samberg and Nick Cannon, who was recently released from the hospital after being treated for "mild kidney failure."

This season of "30 Rock" has a host of other A-listers on tap, from "Up All Night's" returning Will Arnett and Denise Richards to Kelsey Grammer and James Marsden, who has a six-episode arc as Liz Lemon's hot dog-vendor love interest. They'll also address Avery Jessup-Donaghy's life in North Korea following the death of her kidnapper, Kim Jong-il.

We're super excited to see Stone and Marsden on one of our favorite shows. Though we're sad to see "Community" lose its spot on NBC's lineup, we're excited for the network's reworked Thursday night, with Arnett's "Up All Night" and the returning "30 Rock" joining "The Office" and our absolute favorite show on television, "Parks and Recreation." It's a perfect night of television, people – now all you have to do is watch it! Read More...

Everybody is always running to Twitter to share their every thought and feeling. The same is true of celebrities, who share even the most banal details on the social-networking site. Recently, Twitter saw an influx of congratulations for a very famous singer and her hip-hop mogul husband on the birth of their new baby, but notably absent from the choir of congrats was Michelle Williams, former Destiny's Child and current gospel singer and Broadway star.

You see, Miz Williams didn't think it appropriate to hit the tweet button to congratulate Beyonce on the birth of little Blue Ivy. She apparently got a little ribbing from fans for not issuing a statement the way many of Bey and Jay's other friends, from Rihanna to Gwyneth Paltrow, did and finally took to Twitter to let us all know why.

"Let's get ONE thing straight....I do NOT have to say congrats to someone when they're NOT on twitter...ESPECIALLY when I talk or email them all the time....or when I'll be physically present as well," she replied to one irate fan.

"My friendship with people aren't always for twitter display," Williams continued. "Respect that and get a LIFE!!! Enjoy this FINE day!!! God bless!!!!"

But that's not all! Read More...

Lana Del Ray

Hot newcomer Lana Del Ray's has revealed the tracklisting for her debut album, Born to Die. The folks at Del Ray's record label have been working hard to showcase the rising star in a variety of venues, including a show at New York's Bowery Ballroom, which MTV News attended and liked very much, and buzz around the singer continues to grow as the album's January 31 release nears.

"You talk about all these things that happened to me in this short space of time, but the one thing that has really changed is that I now have an audience," she told V Magazine for its first-ever Music Issue. "I turn up in Glasgow or Manchester or Amsterdam and there are good people waving at me from the crowd. That’s amazing."

Del Ray's popularity began to skyrocket last summer when she posted the video for "Video Games" to YouTube, tallying nearly 18 million hits in just five months. Read on to check out the full tracklist for Del Ray's album. Read More...

Christina Aguilera

By Zachary Swickey

Despite having a wildly successful debut season as a judge on NBC’s surprise breakout hit “The Voice,” Christina Aguilera has found herself fighting criticism from the press over her weight and image. The singer – who has historically never had trouble maintaining her slim, “Dirrty” physique – has gained a noticeable amount of weight, which many are all too comfortable pointing out. However, Aguilera is taking the comments in stride.

“You’ve got to be a strong, powerful, very confident woman,” Aguilera told People at a recent event. She admits to the difficulty women in the entertainment industry face, saying, “Women are definitely under a microscope and under massive scrutiny. As long as I am happy in my own skin, that is all the confirmation I need.”

She also notes it doesn’t hurt to have the approval of the love in her life, boyfriend Matt Rutler: “I have a boyfriend that loves my body,” she says. “I love my body, my son is healthy and happy and that is all that matters.” Read More...

Community

When NBC announced its mid-season lineup in November, fanboys and girls across the Internet could be heard screaming into their Snuggies because "Community," the low-rated but much-loved Joel McHale sitcom that kicked off NBC's Thursday night comedy block, wasn't on it.

The comedy was left off to make room for the return of "30 Rock," which itself was delayed after star Tina Fey gave birth to her second child late this summer. At the time, NBC promised the show was not being canned entirely and now network entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt has elaborated to reporters and TV critics at NBC's semi-annual press tour event in Pasadena.

"I wanted to dispel any notion that it’s quietly disappearing from the schedule," Greenblatt said. "'Community' was moved to 8 PM a couple years ago and that’s an incredibly competitive time slot now on Thursday and I’m really curious to see what something else would do there. I don’t know if it makes sense to ask it to start off the night again. We’ve tried to migrate some comedies to Wednesday this year. It’s a matter of looking at what happens with the six comedies we’ve got, to figure out where 'Community' makes the most sense."

So while the cult comedy will be back at some as-yet-unannounced time later this spring to compete its third season, whether it will return for a fourth remains up in the air. Read More...

In a new interview with Seventeen magazine, Demi Lovato admits to self-medicating as a way to deal with the depression and eating disorder issues she faced in 2010. "I’m not going to lie, I was self-medicating. I was doing things like drinking and using [drugs], like a lot of teens do to numb their pain," Lovato says in the January issue.

Lovato completed treatment at an Illinois rehabilitation center in January 2011 for emotional and physical issues later revealed to be anorexia, bulimia, and bipolar disorder. The "Skyscraper" singer returned to the facility in early December as a speaker. "Wow what an inspiring day ... Many tears were shed and many memories were brought back at Timberline Knolls today," she tweeted. "Today I went back to the treatment center I went to last year to speak to the beautiful women fighting their inner demons. Was so honored."

Read on to see what she told Seventeen about her good friend Miley Cyrus! Read More...
