Multi-Grammy award winning singer Norah Jones and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel collaborated to create a very special holiday song which aired last night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Their original acoustic duet entitled “12 Days of YouTube” featuring 12 of the most popular YouTube videos of the year including smoking monkeys, crying babies and a woman falling down a hole.

I love to see celebrities embrace Twitter, I think it’s a tremendous way for them to connect with their fans.

However, Danny DeVito has found a truly unique way of using the social networking platform. He’s chronicling his travels in Italy via his self proclaimed, “Troll Foot.”

Regarding the photo he says,

“…going back place painted on Troll Foot.”

Then a drunk fan tweets a reply, “@danny_devito I am drunk and would like Troll Foot to personally say hello to me. Pplllleeeeaaassseee. Celebrities gotta love their fans

What do you suppose Danny DeVito said?

“@FreakingAwesome don’ t drive bitch!”

Wasn’t that nice of him?

Barbara Walters has revealed her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009 special, and in the program’s grand tradition of sucking up to celebs, the 10 most fascinating people of the year are anything but.

Not just any other pop singer, Lady Gaga has exploded into a cultural phenomenon, making her mark in the world of entertainment in just one year. She became the first artist ever to have four No. 1 hits off a debut album, receive an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist and become one of the Most Fascinating People of 2009.

She talked to Walters about her skyrocketing career, her family, and what she believes is the biggest misconception about her.

Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox have teamed up in Courteney’s new TV show, “Cougar Town”, but don’t expect them to like each other!

Lisa joins the show on its January 6th episode, but the two former “Friends” aren’t friends at all. She first made her acting comeback in “The Comeback”, but the show only lasted for 13 episodes. So it will be good to see these two sharing the small screen again.

Executive Producer, Bill Lawrence said, “They didn’t want to play friends. She [Lisa] plays a dermatologist who is a horrible, horrible person, but [Courteney] goes to her because she’s the best. The sight of them playing people who dislike each other intensely was very funny for me to watch.”

Besides that, aren’t we overdue for a “Friends” reunion sometime soon?

Adam Lambert AMA 2009 – The best home videos are here

Adam Lambert pushed the envelope at the 2009 AMA’s and received a slew of backlash after forcing his dancers’ face in his crotch and kissed the keyboardist with force. The second place “American Idol” contestant is launching his first official album, “For Your Entertainment,” and has been pretty much blacklisted from ABC since the AMA disastrous performance.

Much ado has been going on since thousands cried obscene to the FCC. Canceled performances, Twitter attacks and general whining have ensued. Currently he has been axed from Jimmy Kimmel’s show and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.

The latest defense of his performance is targeting Pink. During her 2004 Billboard set she pushed a man’s face into her crotch and now fans are comparing the issues and calling it a double standard. Fast forward to the 1:35 mark for her version of the Pesci. No issues were made and the FCC did nothing at this crotch to face issue.

I am pretty hard to offend being that I use terms like lady balls and enjoy making my neighborhood children cry. However I think the problem, for me anyway, is that everything about his performance was about force. Dancers with leashes were being forced into his crotch. The kiss didn’t bother me one bit and I find it ridiculous they blurred it out, but the forced oral sex is what made me scratch my head in concern. If was a woman being forced into his crotch, I’d feel the same way.

What is really disappointing is that he feels the need to resort to over the top antics to assert himself as an artist. Whatever happened to talent speaking for itself? His sexuality shouldn’t have anything to do with being nixed from shows and performances, but sadly this is what is has become.

I have made no secret of my disdain for the show “Heroes.” Quite simply, I see it as a poor man’s ‘Lost.’ However, the show’s incredibly low ratings this season haven’t stopped the show’s cheerleader, Hayden Panettiere from trying to create behind-the-scenes drama.

You see kittens, Panettiere was flashing her 18 year-old business to any 30 something year old that would take notice. And notice was taken by her co-star, the much older Milo Ventimiglia. The two dated and broke up in February of this year.

But Panettiere has her panties in a bunch and is reportedly still holding a grudge against Ventimiglia. According to sources, she is making their on-set interaction unbearable.

“She’s been bad-mouthing Milo behind the scenes to the producers. She gripes about doing scenes with him and flashes him dirty looks when they are not shooting…”

When Milo tried to smooth things over with Hayden, “she acted like she didn’t know what he was talking about,” the source said.

“Hayden told Milo: ‘Will you please get over yourself! Your ego is getting in the way of my acting!’”

Perhaps this is what Milo should have expected when he began dating a girl who listed Big Bird as her inspiration.

Don’t you just hate when famous people sit around and feel sorry for themselves? Alec Baldwin says his movie career is such a failure that he’s retiring in 2012, claiming he doesn’t have any interest in acting anymore and that he’s young enough that he could do something else. He’s been nominated for Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, an Academy Award, received several Emmy nominations and even wins for his work on his hit tv show “30 Rock,” and is already garnering some Oscar buzz this year for his work in his upcoming romantic comedy “It’s Complicated.” But apparently that’s just not cutting it anymore. Is this a prelude to a political career?

“I don’t have any interest in acting anymore,” Baldwin, 51, told “Men’s Journal” in an interview for its December issue. “Movies are a part of my past. It’s been 30 years. I’m not young, but I have time to do something else. I consider my entire movie career a complete failure. The goal of movie-making is to star in a film where your performance drives the film, and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success, and I never had that.”

Baldwin also told “Men’s Journal” that he avoids the movies that he’s made. That makes two of us! It’s not the first time Baldwin has mentioned his intention to quit acting. He told “Playboy” magazine earlier this year that he would retire at the wrap party for “30 Rock” in 2012. Baldwin has previously stated an interest in politics, but has not discussed his future options.

Ummm boo-hoo! ‘I’ve made millions and millions of dollars and most people who have seen my movies don’t love me. My career is just a failure!’ Thats like Chuck Norris saying he doesn’t think he’s badass. Although, this is a good way to drum up publicity for that new movie with Meryl Streep he has coming out.

What Others Said:

Hecklerspray: “This is clearly a tragedy, because that means that Stephen will get promoted to Most Famous Baldwin.”

Gawker: “Oh, cheer up, Alec! It could be worse. You could’ve been in Half-Baked or Forgetting Sarah Marshall or Attack of the 50-Ft Woman. (Actually, that last one sounds kind of good.)”

It’s the finale of “Dancing With The Stars” tonight and the stars are gearing up for one final dance. To start off, Whitney Houston took to the stage to perform her song, “Million Dollar Bill”.

The previous losers from the show came back to the finale to perform. I was still unimpressed with any of them, and even forgot that some of them were even on the show. Take Macy Gray, for instance…no really, please take her. Awful!

The final three contestants are taking one last stab at some points from the judges in a final dance. Kelly and Louis are doing the Viennese Waltz for their final dance, and it’s just divine. Go Kelly!

Mya and Dmitry are next, dancing the Jive. Boy, they are bringin’ it tonight! Always awesome, as usual. This is going to be a tough one. She deserves to win, but Kelly may get the “Little Engine That Could” effort and walk away with the trophy.

Dancing last are Donny and Kym, doing the Argentine Tango…and it’s hot! Gross, I can’t believe I called him hot, he’s almost a senior citizen.

Kelly and Louie – 26
Mya and Dmitry – 28
Donny and Kym – 30

Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice had a Paso Doble face-off and both of them ended up with Mirror Ball rings.

Landing in third place are Kelly and Louis. Second place was awarded to Mya and Dmitry, leaving Donny and Kym the winners of the trophy!

Jon Gosselin has put TLC, the cable network behind “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” on notice to “cease and desist” any television production of the show and leave his property.

Gosselin’s attorney Mark Jay Heller said,

“Jon realized his family was like a trainwreck, so he decided to put the brakes on the divorce and on the show … because if he didn’t, the family would be in a mortal accident … the victims of a trainwreck.”

This is BEYOND funny!

The family became a trainwreck months ago… when Jon Grosselin started thinking with his [cough]. The only reason he’s doing this, he doesn’t like his recent pay cut.

Kate would be a fool to give you another chance. Which leads me to predict a really nasty divorce if she’s stupid enough to reconcile.

Heller said the original agreement between TLC and the Gosselin family “may very well be ‘null and void’ and unenforceable.” He claims that TLC:

• Failed to secure the special permits required by Pennsylvania Child Labor Law as a “prerequisite” for the Gosselin children’s involvement in “Jon & Kate Plus 8.”
• Failed to designate the appropriate compensation to be allocated to the children and may be determined that TLC has not provided for compensation for the eight children over the past four years.
• The network “never secured location permits” for the production company to film the show on the Gosselins’ property.

Heller and Gosselin told ET they’ve been in discussions to pull the plug on the program and take the kids off the show for weeks prior to Tuesday’s announcement that the name of the show would change from “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ to “Kate Plus 8.”

Jon is prepared to seek Court intervention to make sure his children’s best interests are protected.”
