We all know Lady GaGa lives in a world of her own. So can you imagine being her little sister? Natali Germanotta is a typical 19-year-old girl who loves fashion and is more than willing to support the spectacle that is her sister.

Lady GaGa Bares All For Harper’s Bazaar (PHOTOS)

Natali appeared in her sister’s “Telephone” video and attended this year’s CFDAs, but isn’t eager to follow in the pop star’s footsteps. The Parsons fashion student is busy in college, which she said “is about learning what you need for your career.”

Lady Gaga’s Sister Takes Over Twitter

She may seem as if she dresses pretty crazy herself, but compared to her sister, I’d say she’s pretty average. ”Some of the stuff she wears I’d be like, ‘No, never,’” she told Teen Vogue. But she’s certainly eager to support her sister’s style. Natali told the magazine about preparing for her graduation with GaGa:

“She asked me, ‘Should I dress really conservative and look not like myself, or should I do it over-the-top and freak everybody out?’ And I was like, ‘The latter, definitely the latter.’”

Don’t worry. GaGa wore a rhinestone-encrusted bodysuit along with beekeeper headgear.

Natali’s favorite part of being GaGa’s sister?:

“Whenever I wear something crazy and my dad gives me a hard time, I say, ‘Well, at least I’m not walking out on the street with red pasties,’ and he’ll be like, ‘Good point.’”

After ditching some old baggage, otherwise known as Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and Alex McCord, BRAVO’s Real Housewives of New York is ready for a makeover!

Season 5 of The RHONY will feature three new “Housewives” – designer Heather Thompson, author Carole Radziwill and philanthropist, Aviva Drescher.

The cast is set to begin filming October 3rd and I for one, could not be more excited about not having to see Kelly Bensimon in a bunny Halloween costume again this season.

Claims to Fame:

So, why should we care about these new Housewives?  Let Bumpshack break it down for you.

Heather Thompson:

The mother-of-two owns “Yummy Tummie“, a shapewear line that was featured as one of Oprah Winfrey’s Favorite Things.  So if Oprah likes her, you know America will follow suit.

Carole Radziwill:

You know what they say, “Carole is the new Bethenny”!  The single Radziwill looks to be the sassy, single replacement for the Frankel Fanatics who miss seeing their girl Bethenny of RHONY.  Carole, a widow, is also a bestselling author and former ABC News producer

Aviva Drescher:

Drescher’s husband, Reid Drescher is the foundner of Spencer Clarke Securities & Investment Banking, which is apparently a big deal.  The happy couple has three children and a lot of money – aaaaand that’s pretty much it.

Stay tuned for much updates on Season 5 of The RHONY!

**WARNING:  This story is not for the faint of heart (or the weak of stomach, for that matter).**

Like a lover scorned – which is exactly what he is, Tareq Salahi is lashing out against his estranged wife and fellow White House party-crasher, Michaele Salahi, after she, very publicly, walked out on him for Journey guitarist, Neal Schon.

Tareq sat down for a very candid interview with E!, during which he tells the hold sordid tale of how he came to discover that his wife had left him – complete with an 8X10 pornographic picture to illustrate his disgust.

I first searched the house, just completely, because my wife has multiple sclerosis, so it wouldn’t be out of the question that perhaps something had happened to her.  As the evening went on, I got a phone call from her at seven o’clock in the evening, and at that time, she said ‘Hi, love. How are you? I’m on my way home. I’m just gonna stop at my mom’s house real quick.

Michaele never went to her mothers and never showed up at home, but according to Tareq, something unexpected did turn up at Oasis Winery later that evening…

The lewdist, most disgusting thing I had seen. And I didn’t understand, why in the world would Neal Schon would be sending a picture of his penis to us at Oasis, our master account.

Yuck.

Tareq goes on to gripe about his wife behaving like a “groupie slut” and assures America that she will get her heartbroken, just like Schon’s four ex-wives.

I don’t like you Tareq, but I think you may have a point.

Recently axed Real Housewife of New York, Jill Zarin is speaking out against the program that helped launch her reality TV career.

And Mama Jill ain’t holding nothin’ back.

In an interview with Good Morning America, Zarin opened up about her four season with the BRAVO network and how it felt to be canned from one of the most successful reality franchises in television history.

It was a little jolting. I’ll be honest… It didn’t feel good… Nobody likes to not be asked back to the party.

Party?  Hmmm…  I may be a little off the mark here, but the last thing Season 3 of RHONY looked like, was a party.

While Zarin is definitely playing the victim, acting like the firings were intentionally designed to ruin her career, BRAVO says the departure was “friendly” and issued a statement saying,

We’ve had a fabulous run with all the ladies and appreciate them sharing their lives with our viewers.

Friendly?  Not quite, says Zarin, who claims the network spurred on the unhealthy battles between Housewives,

There’s no question there was fighting going on… But I believe the format of the show encourages that. And even if someone doesn’t say to you to have a fight or whatever, you feel like you’re supposed to.  The ratings encourage that… It’s a toxic environment. It took me months to come down from it.

Although Jill seems deeply wounded by being asked to leave the show that made Zarin Fabrics a household name, she hasn’t stopped promoting her TV career, issuing a teaser to her fans via her website.

For all the people who have supported me and wished me well, you can see me on a new show that will be announced soon.

God help us all.

Remember when 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchinson married a girl 34 years younger than him? Well, that 17-year-old girl, Courtney Stodden, has now earned her own reality show.

The blonde bride just inked a deal with Merv Griffin Entertainment to produce the new show. She told reporters:

“We are so excited to be working with Roy Bank, a great professional in this business. We are proud that we were able to find the perfect producer for our reality show an are thrilled to be working with this prestigious production company.”

I’m thinking her mom probably wrote that.

It’s no surprise the couple is filming a reality show, given that they have been open about producing one since the news of their marriage broke. Stodden promised, “It’s going to be a reality show like no other.”

A crew member working on the ABC show Charlie’s Angels has been fired for slapping actress Minka Kelly‘s butt.

Minka Kelly & Derek Jeter Split

A source directly connected to the production said the man did slap Kelly on the butt, and sources at ABC said that she responded by saying to him, ”Please don’t ever disrespect me or any other woman like that again.”

Witnesses told ABC about the incident and the man was immediately banned from the set and then fired because of the network’s zero-tolerance policy on sexual harassment. According to other sources, this was not the first time the man had acted out this way.

Kelly did not want the man to be fired and had nothing to do with the decision.

28 year-old Chris Rene, who hauls trash for a living, blew the judges away with an intense performance of one of his original hip-hop songs called “Young Homey” during the first auditions at the “The X-Factor” premiere on Wednesday (September 21)- watch video below.

Chris is a daddy to a 2 year-old son who just recently got out of rehab. He has been sober for 70 days, and dreams of being able to provide for his son and family doing what he loves – performing on stage for an audience!

“There is always a chance and there is always a choice. Instead of doing nothing with myself I want my son to see me singing on stage because life is too precious to waste,” Chris said.

The judges absolutely loved it. I LOVED it. That was quite good for a guy who hauls trash! Chris is talented! Maybe it’s too soon, but they could not let this type of talent go to waste.

Simon Cowell proclaimed he just met a star, while Paula Abdul had no words to describe Chris, calling him a bright light. LA Reid said names like Jay-Z and Kanye West would be so proud of him to tell Chris he is “the truth”. Wow. Chris promises that he will stay on the right track.

Worst. Audition. Ever. Nici Collins came out with a big diva attitude and the most excruciating vocals as she performed “Emotion” during the first auditions at the “The X-Factor” premiere on Wednesday (September 21)- watch video below.

That was so painful to hear and watch, I don’t even know what to say. They cannot be serious. Why was she even allowed to get on that stage? The 23 year-old event planner looked honestly shocked when the judges told her she is not a singer.

Boyband “The Anser” impressed the audience and judges with their funky rendition of Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” with a little twist of Britney Spears’ “Till The World Ends” during the first auditions at the “The X-Factor” premiere on Wednesday (September 21)- watch video below.

Okay. Three average, kind of cute guys, who actually believe they can sort of sing. They go for the kill, singing “Happy Birthday” to judge Nicole Scherzinger, before performing. Adele and Britney? That was not expected. They got the swagger going on, but I wasn’t really that impressed.

Will the Anser bring the boybands back? Simon Cowell has been looking for the next big boyband for a very long, long time. He has not succeeded quite yet. Nicole thought they were “Fab-U-Lous”. They got four yeses. Oh yeah, the X Factor is definitely NOT American Idol!

20 year-old Marcus Canty impressed the judges with his powerful and soulful rendition of “I Wish” by Stevie Wonder during the first auditions at the “The X-Factor” premiere on Wednesday (September 21)- watch video below.

Marcus’ mom gave him two years to make it work or find a real job. He said this was his last chance, but he is so young. Anyhow, Marcus nails it, the crowd loves him, and he got Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger on their feet, grooving to the music. Yeah!

The judges loved him. LA Reid compared Marcus to a young Bobby Brown (pre-cocaine, I presume!), saying he had been looking for a Bobby Brown since Bobby Brown. On the other hand, Simon Cowell thought Marcus is more like a Usher, claiming he is the one to watch.

43 year-old Geo Godley proved to be willing absolutely anything to become a star, performing his own original song (“I’m a Stud”) during the first auditions at the “The X-Factor” premiere on Wednesday (September 21)- watch video below.

Geo started singing (horribly, I might add) and then he dropped his pants and shakes his junk all over the stage. Everybody was shocked. Judge Paula Abdul actually walks off stage, and is taken to her bathroom, where she puked her guts out. No kidding. True story.

OUCH. “What the bloody hell was that?” Simon Cowell asked. LA Reid added: “Listen, that was offensive, disgusting, distasteful, upsetting. Get him out of the building please.”
