Kelly Clarkson's New Boyfriend Is Her Exercise Inspiration

He may have limited some of her songwriting subjects – especially those angry, brokenhearted ones – but Kelly Clarkson says her boyfriend has fueled her desire to work out.
"I would love to say that it had something to do with my work, but it doesn't," Clarkson, 30, whose new singing competition Duets premieres Thursday, told reporters during a conference call. "I have a boyfriend, and if I'm being completely honest, no one likes to be not toned when you are dating someone."
Having revved up her workout routine and by restricting her diet, Clarkson says the pounds have come off.
"I'm eating better and working out, but I've always fluctuated within 20 lbs.," she adds. "My whole life I've been like that."

Emily Maynard Blogs: Meeting the Muppets vs. Sending Home Joe

First of all, let me start by saying I hope you all enjoyed watching the dates on The Bachelorette this week as much as I loved being on them!
I don't have any clue what I did to deserve this many great guys, but to say I'm thankful is an understatement. I especially love that I was able to get some of the guys out of the house and show them around the beautiful city of Charlotte. Most of them had never been here before and had no clue there was this much going on!
From the very first night I knew Ryan was someone that I would really get along with and couldn't wait to spend more time with him. Now I know he was probably expecting some crazy, fabulous, over-the-top date and to be honest, I was worried about telling him what we were actually going to be doing.

Game of Thrones Stars Get All Cleaned Up
Originally posted 05/20/2012 11:00AM
HBO's Game of Thrones features a roster of down and dirty men – guys like mud-soaked Jaime Lannister – but they clean up rather nicely.
The latest issue of VMAN magazine features the actor who plays Lannister, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, looking more like Prince Charming.
Whether his King-slaying character is dirtied and beaten-down or scrubbed up for the palace, playing him is a joy, the actor says.
"Working on Game of Thrones isn't difficult – it's challenging, which is great," he tells VMAN. "When you do a show where the writing is weak, it's difficult. But on Game of Thrones we have such brilliant writing. The challenge here is to not f––– it up."

Joshua Ledet Was 'Relieved' to Be Eliminated from Idol
Originally posted 05/18/2012 08:00AM
Only a week after his friend Hollie Cavanagh was eliminated from American Idol, Joshua Ledet had another tearful night on the show Thursday – but this time it was because he was the one sent home.
Ledet said afterwards that he hadn't planned on crying but became overwhelmed when judge Jennifer Lopez and others came up to hug him after the results were announced.
"I felt good about the whole situation, but when people come up to you and try to comfort you and hug you, then the tears start coming, and then a whole bunch of other stuff," said Ledet, who also pulled his mother on stage at the end of the show. "So just getting their support, it kind of took over, and I kind of lost it a little."
CBS Adds Dramas Starring Jonny Lee Miller and Dennis Quaid

The upfront event for top-rated CBS typically has the smoothness and confidence of a long-running Broadway musical that makes other productions in the area look like dinner theater.
Wednesday afternoon's event, which included an entertaining rap-opera number by NCIS L.A. star LL Cool J and lyric soprano Danielle de Niese, was no different. CEO Les Moonves, bragging about the network's position of strength, summed up his pitch to advertisers in four syllables.
"Blah," he began, concluding, "blah, blah, blah."
The biggest news was the announcement that Two and a Half Men, having re-secured the services of wily man-child Ashton Kutcher, was being moved to Thursdays and teamed with The Big Bang Theory.
The theory is that this will defeat other networks by creating an impenetrable force field of howling sitcom laughter.
ABC Bets on Devilish Digs, Hayden Panettiere For Fall

The upfront media caravan, loaded with cameras, camels and expectations, moved onto ABC's presentation in Manhattan Tuesday afternoon.
The network heads into fall with several concerns: Dancing with the Stars has been registering fewer happy feet in the ratings – Jimmy Kimmel, in his annual standup appearance, suggested the only way you'll see stars on the show is if you bang your head – and Desperate Housewives, a long-running signature hit, just ended Sunday.
Well, Paul Lee, president of the ABC Entertainment Group, quickly addressed those points on Tuesday afternoon:
Mitchell Guist Flashback: The Swamp People Star Makes Gumbo

Swamp People fans can pay homage to the late Mitchell Guist in their own kitchens. (If they like the taste of venison and rabbit meat, that is.)
In memory of Guist, who died Monday at 48 in Louisiana from unreported causes after falling from his boat, PEOPLE.com is revisiting one of the most memorable moments from the History Channel show, in which the Guist brothers whip up gumbo for their dinner guests in an episode that aired last November.
"Hey Glenn, we got people coming over tonight, huh?" Mitchell, who was one of the alligator hunters the show followed, says to his brother. "What do you want to do with that rabbit sausage?"

What happens to a newly made ballroom dancer after the disco ball trophy?
Usually, the top Dancing with the Stars contestants return to obscurity – er, their glamorous lifestyles – and we never see them on the dance floor again. But now the show is looking to change that.
ABC's entertainment president Paul Lee confirmed to reporters that he "can't talk about the casting yet, but I'd love to see some of the fan favorites from the past seasons come back," EW.com reports.
