Taylor Swift: "No Contest" With Miley Cyrus & Selena Gomez

Taylor Swift has revealed that she doesn’t consider fellow teen stars like Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez as competition, saying, “I don’t compete with other people in the industry - I compete with myself.”

The 19-year-old country singer tells the Associated Press, “I’ve always approached this from the place where I don’t compete with other girls.”

Swift says she and 16-year-old Disney Channel stars Cyrus and Gomez are friends, and that’s the way she wants to keep it.

“If I looked at every other girl in the entertainment industry as competition, my life would be really lonely,” she says.

“I wouldn’t have some of the coolest friends that I’m so glad I’ve gotten to know over the last couple of years… It’s really awesome to get to hang out with those girls and to call them friends.”

The ‘Love Story’ singer adds that dating as a celebrity is much more difficult than she anticipated.

“When you strategize a relationship too much, like, ‘We’re not gonna be public about it, and we’re gonna say this in interviews,’ when you think it all out, I think that complicates the relationship. I think that’s unfair for the relationship,” she says.

“I don’t look for boyfriends - I don’t really scour the awards shows for who I’m going to date, but I think love happens when you’re not looking for it. And when it happens, I’m not going to be the one to overthink it.”

Michael Moore: Next Film About Global Financial Crisis

Michael Moore is set to unleash another documentary, this time about the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), saying it was caused because, “The wealthy, at some point, decided they didn’t have enough wealth.”

The as-yet-untitled flick will be released in the US on October 2, with Moore still working on the film at the moment and keeping quiet about any details.

According to the filmmaker, the wealthy “wanted more — a lot more. So they systematically set about to fleece the American people out of their hard-earned money. Now, why would they do this? That is what I seek to discover in this movie.”

Shanna Moakler: Carrie Prejean Was Getting Nasty

Shanna Moakler has opened up about the Carrie Prejean controversy, revealing that the reigning Miss California sent her an email saying that she “should be thanking [Prejean] for extending my fifteen minutes.”

In an interview with Usmagazine, Moakler says, “Carrie is very, very nice when she wants something. And when it’s her turn to do her end of the deal, it’s very complicated. She’s late, she doesn’t show up. It’s always a problem. I can deal with difficult, but I can’t deal with nasty and she was getting nasty.”

The 34-year-old says that her decision to quit as the Miss California pageant director came down to a lack of respect.

“I personally paid for photo shoots for Carrie Prejean, that are $3,000 photo shoots,” she explains. “I spent a thousand dollars in makeup for her, I got out and scouted and found [all our] sponsors … I felt like, ‘Why do I have to continue to support this girl when she has absolutely no respect for me?”

But the former Miss California is proud of her decision to quit adding, “I stood up for what I believe in and what I think is right. I’m proud, but I’m devastated. This isn’t what pageants are about, it wasn’t how it’s supposed to go.”

Megan Fox is Bisexual?

In the new issue of Esquire, Megan Fox says that she likes to have sex with girls.

The Transformers actress says she’s a bisexual woman who won’t sleep with other bisexual women. She told Esquire: “I think people are born bisexual and they make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. "I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite. I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."

Lindsay Lohan Is Dirty?

APD investigated a burglar alarm yesterday at the home of Lindsay Lohan, and after they waded through the mess and broken debris left behind, they discovered that the burglar never actually made it into the house and that Lindsay is a lazy pig. The Daily Mail says...

The apartment looked like it had been ransacked, but closer forensic examination discovered that the mess was actually left by Li-Lo herself.

There were pry marks on the back door and tampering with the back window. LAPD’s finest discovered that no-one had entered the house and nothing had been stolen, but officer Karen Rayner said the place was so messy that they had to contact the actress - who is currently in Paris - and ask: "Is it normally like this, or did intruders do it?"

Kiefer Sutherland Might Go To Jail

Kiefer Sutherland is said to be facing only a minor assault charge over his alleged argument in New York this week - however, because the actor is still under probation, Los Angeles based authorities may push for further penalties.

Sutherland allegedly headbutted a fashion designer at a party on Tuesday (May 5), and according to the New York Daily News, he will surrender to New York authorities to face a third-degree assault charge.

However, he is currently serving a five-year probation term in L.A. for his second DUI conviction, and the incident in New York may have violated those terms, says L.A. City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan.

“Our office intends to contact the NYPD and New York prosecutors to review the incident and determine whether Mr. Sutherland violated probation,” Mateljan says.

A probation violation could mean a return to jail for the 24 star, who spent 48 days in jail on the conviction.

“If Sutherland is found in violation of probation for battery, and if he was intoxicated at the time, he could very well be sentenced to another 48 days or more,” Steve Sitkoff, an L.A. criminal defense attorney not involved with the case, told People magazine.

Producer Denies Dumping Scarlett Johansson

Producer Emmanuel Bengihy has denied reports that Scarlett Johansson’s directorial efforts in the new movie New York, I Love You were dumped after being deemed “unwatchable”.

Johansson directed Kevin Bacon in her section of the flick, which is a series of love stories all linked together, with ’sources’ telling Page Six, “It was really bad, so it was cut.”

However, Benbihy states that, “Scarlett presented me with an extremely compelling, albeit unconventional, narrative that appeared as though it would not necessarily conform to the overall approach of the entire collective… However, I was very much moved by her vision and I did not want to pass on the opportunity to help her develop it. All that matters to me is the genuine movie language of the author.”

He added, “Scarlett and I nonetheless agreed that a final determination of its appropriateness in the context of the other contributions and the overall story would be best made in the editorial process. And after months of editing… I had to admit that there were editorial decisions to be made in the interest of serving the overall narrative and composition that resulted in previously filmed scenes and footage not getting used.”

Johansson’s directorial efforts will see the light of day once the DVD is released.
