Let’s hope Jessica Simpson enjoyed the spotlight on her pregnancy, because Kimye just blew her baby bump out the window!

Britney Spears Will Get Fired From X Factor

Looks like Britney Spears' X Factor gig will be a one-and-done kind of deal.

As the new issue of Us Weekly reveals, the "Hold It Against Me" singer is on her way out as a judge for Fox's hit reality competition, which wrapped its second season on Dec. 20.
PHOTOS: Britney's most memorable music video looks
"Britney will get the boot," an insider tells Hot Stuff of the pop star, who joined the show in May, along with fellow newcomer Demi Lovato. "Producers wanted her for the long haul, but it isn't working."
One reason? Spears' $15 million contract, which sources say the low-energy mentor hasn't earned. "They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps," a second insider tells Us.
Adds a third source of show co-creator Simon Cowell, who is leading the charge to axe the performer: "He wanted crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney."

Spears' firing would be the latest in a long line of departures over the show's short lifespan. In the space of just two seasons, the series has lost or let go of Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, Cheryl Cole and -- most recently -- L.A. Reid, who announced his decision to leave earlier this month.
Spears is likely next on the chopping block, but Cowell, 53, hasn't always had it out for her. During a conference call in October, he told reporters that she had been "a lot better than everybody thought...She's very engaged...She has been, I think, a very, very good judge."
PHOTOS: Britney and Jason's road to romance
Alas, their professional relationship seems to have soured some, as has the singer's personal relationship with fiance Jason Trawick. Sources tell Us that the mom to Preston, 7, and Jayden, 6, has been increasingly butting heads with her beau.
"They are pulling away from each other," a pal explains to Us. "Unless things change, they will split for good."

Bethenny Frankel, Jason Hoppy Separating After Two Years of Marriage

\

 

Looks like Bethenny's Ever After won't have a happy ending.

Bravo reality star Bethenny Frankel and husband Jason Hoppy are separating after two years of marriage, she announced on Sunday, Dec. 23.
"This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family," Frankel tells Us Weekly, adding that the situation brings her "great sadness."
Continued Frankel, "We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us."

PHOTOS: Shocking celebrity splits
"They care about each other. They're both devastated," a Frankel pal tells Us of the split. "Bethenny fought really hard for her family."
The split comes just days after sources told Us Weekly that the spouses have been increasingly butting heads.

"Things have gotten even more strained in recent months," a pal revealed. "They're fighting a lot."
One point of contention between the two? Different career ambitions -- or, in Hoppy's case, a lack thereof. "She's very focused, but he's just not driven," an insider said of the talk-show host, 42, and her businessman hubby, 41, who share daughter Bryn, 2.

Still, a source told Us the former Real Housewives star really wanted to "make it work" with the father of her child.

Frankel, who was previously married to Peter Sussman, met her soon-to-be ex-husband in late 2008. He proposed after 11 months with a 6.5-carat diamond sparkler, and they tied the knot less than a year later, on March 28, 2010. The wedding -- held at New York's iconic Four Seasons hotel -- was featured on the first season of her Bravo reality show, then called Bethenny Getting Married.

"[Jason and I] have had strains. We've had major fights," the author admitted to Self. "When I signed on to do [my] show, I committed to myself and my fans to be totally honest. You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It's not fair to them."

Later, however, she slammed reports that both she and Hoppy had secretly seen divorce lawyers. "I'm in a good marriage," she said on her talk show. "We have issues. We are not perfect. We work on it every day. We're committed."

Demi Lovato V. Khloe Kardashian: Nude Makeup Face Off

Tweet

Both stars opted for barely there lips and neutral makeup for Fox’s ‘The X Factor’ Season Finale Night 1 at CBS Televison City on December 19, 2012 in Los Angeles, California–Who rocked the look better? Sound off below!

Khloe Kardashian and Demi Lovato opted for equally stunning nude hues on lips and cheeks topped with a flesh-toned lip. The look was so gorgeous on both stars, showing off their stunning faces.

Obviously, both beauties must have sat in the same makeup artist’s chair! The only difference in the two looks: Khloe sported a more defined eye, emphasized by black kohl pencil, which coated both her upper and lower lash lines. Demi went for a less noticeable eye liner look. This has to be one of our favorite beauty looks yet for both stars! In fact, they could almost pass for sisters!

If you love the lip look, try Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Peach Petal. The formula is sheer, so it will lend your lips just a whisper of glossy color. To play up the shade a bit more, use a pale nude lip liner to line and fill in your lips. Then swipe the gloss over top. This will intensify the look and help the gloss stay put for hours.

Meanwhile, in ‘X Factor’ news,

On Wednesday night’s final the three remaining contestants brought their A game to the stage in their final play for the prize.

Carly Rose Sonenclar, a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Westchester, New York, kicked off the final singing Nina Simone’s ‘Feeling Good’. The judges loved her performance.

‘I want this so badly as I have put so much of my heart and soul into it. I have wanted this ever since I could remember, ever since I began singing at two-years-old. I can’t let it slip away from me now,’ said Carly Rose.

‘The difficult thing for you is that every time you get on stage you do a good job but this is a defining moment and you have to top everything you have done – and you did,’ said a grinning L.A. Reid.

Demi was also happy with what she saw. ’The first time I heard that it blew me away, none of us believed you were 13 and I still don’t. Actually you sang it better tonight than you did the first time. I like your competitive spirit.’

Her mentor Britney completed the praise by telling the youngster: ‘We are going to win this.’

HollywoodLifers, regardless of who you want to win ‘X Factor’ we want to know who rocked nude makeup better–Demi or Khloe? Sound off below!

‘X Factor’ Finale Opens With Touching Sandy Hook Tribute

Tweet

‘The X Factor’ invited back former finalists to join the top 3 and a children’s choir to pay tribute to the fallen victims of the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting with a touching musical number. Read on for all the details.

As The X Factor began its two-night season finale, the show began its Dec. 19 telecast with a musical tribute to the victims of the horrific Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting massacre that shook the nation on Dec. 14.

A very emotional Simon Cowell took the stage to briefly offer his condolences, saying, “You will always be in our prayers and in our hearts. This is our tribute to you.” Afterwards, previously eliminated finalist Beatrice Miller began performing Michael Jackson‘s “You Are Not Alone”. One by one, she was joined by Arin Ray, Diamond White, CeCe Frey, Paige Thomas, Jennel Garcia, Vino Alan, and Emblem3, before the top three joined to conclude the song. After Tate Stevens, Fifth Harmony, and Carly Rose Sonenclar reached the stage, all the contestants joined voices with a children’s choir to finish the song.

Behind the performers, all clad in heavenly white and awash in a golden light, the names of the victims appeared on screens. As the song ended, the lyrical message, “You are not alone, we are here with you,” appeared on the screen, replacing the names.

The Voice‘s Earlier Tribute

Earlier in the week, The Voice also paid musical tribute to the victims of the shooting, opening their Dec. 17 finale episode with a performance of Leonard Cohen‘s “Hallelujah”. Coaches Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Cee Lo Green joined the finalists on stage, each holding a card with the name and age of a victim lost in the horrific massacre.

Did The X Factor‘s tribute bring tears to your eyes, HollywoodLifers?

Cassadee Pope: Thought I Would Be Eliminated From ‘The Voice’

Tweet 0

Cassadee was crowned the season three winner of ‘The Voice’ on Dec. 18, but the talented singer revealed to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY why she was so nervous — and didn’t think she clinched the top spot! Read on to find out what she said.

Cassadee Pope was one of the strong frontrunners to win The Voice ever since the beginning — and even more so as the competition drew to a close. But the 23-year-old singer told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that she did not believe she would walk away with the title!

“I thought I would be out during the knockout rounds, I was not happy with those performances,” she revealed.

“I remember watching it from home and really thought Blake took a real chance on me and I didn’t do well,” Cassadee added. “That was a low moment, I think seeing [being number one on] iTunes made things for me a little more at ease as it gave me a little heads up and that was nice!”

Of course, Cassadee ended up wowing not only the coaches, but also the viewers — and blew away the competition! Coach Blake Shelton agrees.

“She beats herself up a lot and thinks it is over, but I held up my phone and showed her the iTunes [ranking] and the thing about her, even when it’s good, it’s never enough and that is what makes her an artist!” Blake told HollywoodLife.com exclusively.

“She is a creator and an artist and will never be totally happy,” Blake added. “But she should be happy that she won!”

And the season three winner, who gave a win to Team Blake, couldn’t argue with that.

“Yeah! I am excited!” she declared

Congrats to Cassadee and Blake!

What do YOU HollywoodLifers? Did you think Cassadee was going to be eliminated during the knockout rounds, or did you think she had it in the bag from the get go? Drop a comment below and let us know!

This wasn’t Bronson’s first brush with the law this month, however. On Dec. 8, he was arrested at Gym Bar in West Hollywood for felony possession of cocaine and meth. TMZ reports that the bar’s staff called police because Jordan appeared too intoxicated and refused to leave the premises.

Now, the latest split rumors suggest that Trawick is actually planning to secretly leave Spears!

Ok, so we knew that Jason Trawick and Britney Spears had canceled their upcoming wedding plans, but new sources now claim that Trawick is also planning to break-up with the pop star turned X Factor judge, at least according to Hollyscoop.

The source, who is said to be close to the couple, told the site recently: “Jason has told Britney’s entire family that he’s planning to leave her, so that Britney will have a support system when he breaks the bad news.” Rumor also has it that Trawick is waiting until Britney is finished up with this season of The X Factor, as he doesn’t want her to have to deal with the split while filming the show.

That’s right, apparently Britney has no idea that her fiance plans to leave her – that is unless she reads all the buzz on the internet! Meanwhile, another pal close to the couple told the site: “I haven’t heard anything about the split, but I do know they are going on vacation together for the holidays.” Uh oh, could Jason Trawick be planning a split during the holiday vacation?

Do you want to know the strangest part of the entire story? Jason is hoping that even after dumping Britney, he can remain her manager. Something tells us that is not going to happen, but we’ll have to wait and see.

2012 Kardashian Christmas Card: Did Kanye West Make the Cut?

The holiday season just isn't complete without the smell of fresh pine, a mug of eggnog, and ... the Kardashian Christmas card.

Kim Kardashian tweeted out her family's annual holiday greeting card and, as usual, the photo shoot was a high-production affair. And there was confetti — lots of confetti. There were balloons and champagne flutes, too.


 

(Nick Saglimbeni/kimkardashian.celebuzz.com)
Under the direction of photographer Nick Saglimbeni, the group lightened up this year — donning all white ensembles. The ladies slipped into curve-hugging dresses and sky-high heels while the men dressed in button-down shirts and, in some cases, sport coats. Of course, Scott Disick had on a pair of shiny white loafers for the occasion.

[Related:  Honey Boo Boo and Family's Christmas Portrait]
The holiday card photo shoot, a long-time family tradition orchestrated by matriarch Kris Jenner, was the first for Penelope Disick, who was born in July. Wearing a tulle dress and accessorized with a headband, she sat on her mother Kourtney's lap while her stylish big brother Mason, who turned 3 over the weekend, sat near his step-grandfather Bruce Jenner.

So who wasn't there? Although Kim and Kanye West have been inseparable since they started dating earlier this year, the rapper did not make the cut in the family card. Perhaps that's because she is still technically married to NBA star Kris Humphries. However, prominently featured is the white kitten, Mercy, that West gave Kim in September. Sadly, earlier this month Kim announced that Mercy died of a rare stomach cancer.
Last month during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Khloe Kardashian revealed that she and her husband Lamar Odom, who are posed face-to-face in the card, missed the main photo shoot this year. They had their own session with the photographer and were later added in digitally. Kendall Jenner, who was sick at the time of the shoot, and Scott Disick, who was probably at a club opening, were Photoshopped in as well.
Although coordinating everyone at the same time for the photo shoot proved impossible, Khloe said the entire Kardashian-Jenner family will be together on Christmas. "Every Christmas, we're always together. Step-brothers, sisters, everything," she told DeGeneres. "All 10 kids and then everyone's extended girlfriend, boyfriend, this, that..."

When DeGeneres joked that the boyfriends and girlfriends seem to change every year, Khloe joked, "Yeah, we rotate all the people."  But, she added, "Now we're sticking together. The older we get, the more we stick together. Who knew, I'm surprised Scott's still around, but he's here."
