The Dishing Diva

Miley’s Hannah Montana Chocolate Granola Bars have been recalled due to suspected salmonella contamination.

The Canadian recall was issued last week after it was discovered the granola bars contained peanut products that were part of the widespread peanut recall that hit the U.S. and Canada earlier this year.

She was recently told to “grow up” by Radiohead. She is alleged to have threatened to “ruin them” after being snubbed by the band at last month’s Grammys.

The group issued a statement which said:

“When Miley grows up, she’ll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement.”

Kanye West also whined about being snubbed by the band so Miley has something in common with him.

Thom Yorke wrote on their Dead Air Space blog:

“Wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you’re not one of those people I have managed to offend by doing nothing.”

Zac Efron will make an appearance with comedian Russell Brand on Rove this Sunday, March 15. He’ll be premiering ’17 Again’ in Melbourne on Monday evening (March 16).

Zac Efron was seen Friday night (March 13) at the Grand Finals of the National Basketball League at the Hisense Arena in Melbourne, Australia.

A fan who was there told celebrity blogger Just Jared:

“He was hooded and trying to keep a low profile until they showed him on the big screen. At half time, fans swarmed on his box but security was evident. He talked to a few young fans and left before full time where the South Dragons defeated the Melbourne Tigers.”

Kelly Clarkson is on the cover of the April 2009 issue of Blender magazine. My question to the magazine is “why would a magazine ask such dumb questions?” I’ll have to check out the issue to make sure they talked about her album while they were discussing her urinary habits and nudity.

Interestingly enough, she didn’t seem to be offended at all by these questions. That is what makes her so …. oddly normal!

Here are some tidbits from the interview:

On peeing in the shower:

“Anybody who says they don’t is lying.”

On taking pleasure in walking around naked:

“I’m the kinda person who just doesn’t like clothes.”

On blowing her nose and then checking the tissue to see what color the snot is:

“I mean, if you have a cold, you have to check, to see how sick you are.”

On the essence of her appeal:

“The thing with me, and my audience in particular is, people look at me like a sister or a daughter. It’s not like people look at me as unattainable, some kind of star like that. People love the ‘real’ factor that’s involved, I think.”

On being an open book and willing to “talk about anything”:

“I do not lie. Ever. I will tell my girlfriend if she looks fat in her jeans… When you don’t make yourself clear or heard, that’s where trouble starts. And that’s something I learned as a child. No one is going to know what you feel unless you tell them.”

This does NOT surprise me.

Despite the stink of the scandal surrounding Chris Brown, his “career” does not seem to have been affected by his alleged beat down of Rihanna.

According to Soundscan, sales of Brown’s latest album, Exclusive, have remained steady in the weeks both before and after his assault on her.

The album has been selling approximately 3,000 copies a week in the U.S. since late January.

Disturbing isn’t it?

TMZ is reporting that Chris Brown may try to strike a plea, but only to a misdemeanor and with no jail time.

They are saying his attorneys have consulted law school professors who say Rihanna’s own aggressiveness removes it from the felony category.

“Sources say Rihanna was the first one to strike — slapping and striking Brown “numerous times” while he was driving, after seeing the text message from another woman. And Rihanna was fighting Brown as he punched and hurt her. We’re told much of this is reflected in the official police report based on what Rihanna told cops. As a result, they say, this is not a case that demands a felony plea.”

Amy Winehouse just got back from a relaxing two-month Caribbean vacation and according to police and her rep, was charged with assault Thursday for allegedly attacking a fan at an end-of-summer ball in London last Sept. 26th.

Dancer Sherene Flash had told tabloid newspapers that she was hit in the eye by the much-talked about retro-soul singer after asking to take her picture at the Berkeley Ball, a charity function held in central London’s Berkeley Square.

Amy’s spokesman Chris Goodman said Friday that she went voluntarily to the police station, where she was arrested and charged. Police issued a statement saying she’s been released and is due to appear in court on March 17th.

It’s been reported that Rihanna has gotten back together with Chris and her people told Entertainment tonight that if called, she will testify against him.

TMZ is reporting that she allegedly told cops this wasn’t the first time he beat her. She said he had gotten physical in the past, and the violence was getting worse.

The detective’s notes were made public and they described all about that awful night in quite graphic detail.

Today Chris made his much anticipated appearance in court, he was charged with two felonies: assault and making a criminal threat. He may face up to 4 years and 8 months in prison if he is convicted on both charges. The entire thing lasted about 4 minutes as his attorney asked for the court date to be postponed. No reason why. It may be to conduct further investigations or possibly to strike a plea deal.

Here he is leaving court with his attorney:

Miley Cyrus describes her pre-teen years as “friendless, lonely and miserable” in her new memoir, “Miley Cyrus: Miles To Go.” Like so many other young people, it seems as if she had some very difficult times at school. I’ve known people who have been bullied to a point they’ve had to change schools. I’ve had friends and family members miss days, weeks, even have to resort to home schooling. 21st century bullies will kick your a** because there is literally no where to hide as the internet is a major tool of torture as well.

Here are some excerpts from her new book via Acccess Hollywood:

On the haters during her pre-teen Tennessee school days: “The girls took it beyond normal bullying. These were big, tough girls [known as] the Anti-Miley Club. I was scrawny and short. They were fully capable of doing me bodily harm… [They locked me in the girl’s restroom during class.] They shoved me in. I was trapped. I banged on the door until my fists hurt. Nobody came. I spent what felt like an hour in there, waiting for someone to rescue me, wondering how my life had gotten so messed up.”

On being challenged to a fight: “It seemed like Operation Make Miley Miserable was escalating to a new level. More like Operation Take Miley Down. Three girls strutted up and stood towering over me. My stomach churned. I clutched my grilled cheese sandwich like it was the hand of my best friend. It pretty much was my best friend those days. I was done for… They started cussing me and telling me to get up. I sat there, frozen. I didn’t know what to do. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. I wasn’t chicken. What could they do to me? I was surrounded by people. I stood up, still a foot shorter then they were, and said, “What’s your problem? What did I ever do to you?’”

On ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas, who she refers to as Prince Charming in the book: [When I first met him,] it felt like the whole world stopped. Nothing else mattered. [The day we broke up was] the hardest day ever. Deep down I know we weren’t being our best selves. And that was what I wanted — and thought I deserved – in a relationship.

On writing the hit song “7 Things I Hate About You” for Nick: “[I wrote it to] punish him, to get him back for hurting me [but the song is] about forgiving, not forgetting. It’s hard to imagine that our love is a story with an end. But you know, at least I’m getting some really good songs out of it.”

Miley will be signing copies of her book at Barnes & Noble this Saturday (March 7) @ 12PM at The Grove at Farmers Market (189 Grove Drive, Los Angeles).

Here is a picture of Vanessa Hudgen’s signed hard hat. She is just one of the many celebrities lending her support to the Hollywood branch of Habitat for Humanity.

She along with other celebs has signed a white hardhat that will go up for auction. The proceeds from sales will go to support Habitat’s mission of providing safe and decent housing which will benefit families served by Habitat for Humanity.

On Vanessa’s hardhat is her sweet message, saying: “Thanks for all your hard work. All my Love, XOXO.”

Other celebrities with hardhats up for auction are: The Jonas Brothers, Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift.

No Doubt fans will be able to see the group perform together real soon.

It’s already been reported that the group will reunite on tour this summer, but get this… they will be performing a cover song for a future episode of Gossip Girl! Can you believe it?

You better because they’ve even confirmed the news on their official site.

The band says:

“Mark your calendars to see No Doubt perform “Stand And Deliver” (originally by Adam And The Ants) for the first time ever on Gossip Girl, May 11, 8/7c on The CW”

Isn’t this fantastic news?

Taylor Swift is on the cover of the March 2009 of Rolling Stone.

The article’s caption reads, “The world’s biggest new pop star is a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll, and all control freak.”

Nashville’s little princess took to her blog to talk about how honored she is to be on the famed magazine’s cover. She said:

“I’m so excited, I can’t even stand it. It’s on news stands now, and I haven’t seen it yet because I’m in London, but I just can’t believe I get to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Wow. This is crazy.”

I’m not loving her hairstyle for the cover photo as it’s normally so sleek and shiny, but whatever, she’s a talented girl and it’s nice to see she’s thrilled and excited to be recognized.
