Katy Perry deemed too raunchy for Sesame Street


KATY Perry's duet with Sesame Street's Elmo has been pulled from the show, after parents complained the performance was too sexy and her outfit showed too much cleavage.

The pop singer and the little red monster performed an adapted version of Katy’s hit song Hot N Cold.

Instead of being about a relationship, the Sesame Street version is about a play date and changes Katy's original lyrics to more kid appropriate content with lines like "you're up then you're down, you're running around."

Scheduled for broadcast on New Year's Eve, the song made its way to YouTube Monday and has already racked up almost a million views.

But producers have decided not to air the song on the show after some parents complained Katy’s breasts were too visible.

She wore what seemed a revealing lime-green dress, however her chest was completely covered by a flesh-covered mesh.

Katy tweeted earlier this week, "Wow, looks like my play date with Elmo has been cut short! If you still wanna play see it at www.katyperry.com Tag you're it, Elmo!"

Ashton Kutcher denies cheating allegations


ASHTON Kutcher continues to deny cheating accusation even after his alleged lover released rendering text messages appearing to support her claims.

21-year-old Brittney Jones has come forward and claimed in a report in Star magazine Ashton "made love" to her at the home he shares with wife Demi Moore while she was away filming her latest movie, The Reasonable Bunch, in Detroit.

Ashton’s lawyer rejected the reports stating, "Star magazine continuously publishes lies about Ashton Kutcher and many other celebrities. This is not the first, nor will it be the last time they engage in reckless conduct.”

Ashton later snubbed the allegations himself on Twitter. "I think Star Magazine calling me a 'cheater' qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees," he writes. "STAR magazine - you don't get to stand behind 'freedom of the press' when you are writing fiction."

His wife of five years Demi supported him with the response: "Excellent point my love!"

It's the second cheating allegation to emerge in less than a month; previously there were claims of an affair with another "sexy, young, 20-something".

But this time, alleged evidence has been brought forward to back up her claims.

According to the tabloid magazine, the Killers star started sending Brittney intimate texts soon after they met at a Hollywood bowling alley on July 24.

Ashton supposedly sent Brittney text messages like "what are you wearing now?" before the pair organised their secret rendezvous.

Britney says the actor texted her "R u busy?" on July 27 and the pair went on to meet at his L.A. home.

"We kissed. He would caress me and kiss my neck and tell me I was pretty," Brittney says.

There are reports suggesting the pair met up one last time when Ashton ended their brief fling and asked Brittney to delete all their correspondents, but Brittney kept some of the messages.

Ashton and Demi continue to deny all allegation.

Bump shows mum-to-be Miranda already blooming

THOSE who have waited patiently for a glimpse of Miranda Kerr's baby bump have finally been rewarded.

The model has revealed her new blooming belly in an online ad promoting her skincare range.

Miranda, now almost five months pregnant, strikes several yoga poses in the ad for Kora, the organic brand distributed and marketed by her parents.

Dressed in tights and a fitted singlet, Miranda's swollen belly is easily noticed as she sits in profile in a yoga stretch.

Miranda married Hollywood heartthrob Orlando Bloom in a secret Caribbean wedding ceremony in July while rumours circulated that she’d begun cancelling modelling work because she was pregnant.

A month later she finally announced parenthood was pending in an exclusive interview with Spanish Vogue.

Now with a flash of cleavage and much skyward eye-rolling, Miranda is keeping the family skincare industry alive by attaching her pregnancy to the organics range.

It's over: Tiger and Elin spit for good

NINE months after their private lives crashed into public view, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren have announced that their divorce is final.

In a joint statement released by their lawyers, the couple said: "We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future. While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and always will be, of paramount importance to both of us."

The details of the settlement were not disclosed but reports suggest Elin, could receive up to $500 million in one of the most expensive divorce settlements in history.

Tiger, one of the world's leading golfers, who confessed to a series of affairs that destroyed his image as a virtuous role model, will share custody of his children, Sam Alexis, three, and Charlie Axel, one, with their Swedish mother Elin.

Lawyers for the pair said that their divorce became final yesterday when a judgment was entered in Bay County Circuit Court, near the Florida state capital of Tallahassee.

It was 320km away that Woods crashed his Cadillac SUV into a fire hydrant while driving away from his home near Orlando in the early hours of November 27 last year.

Tiger initially said the reasons for the accident were private "and I want to keep it that way". However, in the prolonged media storm that followed at least 12 women came forward claiming to be current or former lovers of the golfer, among them a New York nightclub hostess, two porn actresses, two waitresses and a lingerie model.

One of the women, Rachel Uchitel, has since received $10 million in a deal brokered by the Los Angeles celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, apparently in return for her silence.

Early in the saga that took Tiger out of professional golf for five months, it emerged that Elin had bought a house without him on a Swedish island accessible only by ferry or private boat.

Tiger agreed to have treatment for sex addiction at a clinic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, earlier this year, when American tabloid newspapers reported that a reconciliation with Elin was on the cards.

His decision to return to golf in April is thought to have persuaded her, however, that he was not serious enough about spending more time with his family. His first press conference after the scandal was widely mocked for his maudlin scripted apologies to family and fans.

Tiger is now struggling to return to his level of achievement prior to the scandal, and has been winless on the golf course this year.

Love The Way You Lie

WANT a glimpse of what it was like to be Marshall and Kim Mathers? Watch the video for Eminem’s No. 1 duet with Rihanna "Love The Way You Lie" that chronicles his tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife.

“Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that's alright because I like the way it hurts," sings Rihanna. That poignant line seems to be the inspiration behind the accompanying video, which premiered earlier this month.

The Joseph Kahn-directed clip depicts A-list actress Megan Fox as a sometimes-vulnerable, sometimes-confrontational Mrs. Eminem, and Dominic Monaghan, who plays Charlie Pace on Lost, takes on Eminem's persona.

The heated exchanges between Megan and Dominic are both captivating and intense. In one moment, they’re making passionate love to each other, and in another, they’re getting physically violent and launching at each other in utter odium. But true to the song's lyrics, they stay together.

In between scenes, a red-haired Rihanna - who recently told Access Hollywood that the song was something she "needed" to do following the very-public assault at the hands of former boyfriend Chris Brown - is singing the chorus while standing in front of a burning house and Eminem is rapping his pertinent lyrics from a desolate field before joining Rihanna.

Eminem said it was tough making the video work. "Joseph and I worked pretty closely together to make sure we got this right," Eminem said in a statement. "Trying to make this tough subject work visually is a challenge. It was great to have Rihanna, Megan and Dominic on board for this."

When Rihanna received the call to sing on the Eminem song, she jumped at the opportunity. "It's something that, you know, [Eminem and I have] both experienced, you know, on different sides, different ends of the table," she told Access Hollywood.

It was only last year when Rihanna was involved in the domestic dispute with Chris Brown that resulted in a felony assault charge against Chris. But her own experiences did not deter her from recording the song.

"It was just authentic. It was real," she adds. "It was believable for us to do a record like that, but it was also something that needed to be done, and the way he did it was so clever. He pretty much just broke down the cycle of domestic violence, and it's something that a lot of people don't have a lot of insight on, so this song is a really, really powerful song, and it touches a lot of people."

Dominic, a big Eminem fan, worked hard preparing for the role. He told MTV he listened to Eminem's first two albums, and tried to get into a "nasty, dirty" frame of mind.

As the clip aims at highlighting the dangers of an abusive relationship and, indirectly, delivers the message that it's better to walk out before it's too late, Megan admirably donated her fee for appearing in the video to the Santa Monica, California based Sojourn a program for battered women and their children.
