After Madonna won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for her movie W.E.,which she also directed, Elton John‘s husband David Furnish had a bone to pick.

Madonna Rips Ricky Gervais: “I Haven’t Kissed A Girl In a Few Years!”

Shortly after the singer’s name was called as the recipient, Furnish wrote on his Facebook page, ”Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!”

Madonna beat out John for his song “Hello Hello” from the film Gnomeo & Juliet, and gave an acceptance speech that was less than endearing.

His rant continued after Madonna finished her speech. ”Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism,” he wrote. “And her criticism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is.”

Madonna is dissing pop superstar Lady GaGa‘s song ‘Born This Way’ for it’s similarities to her 1989 hit ‘Express Yourself’ in the upcoming issue of Newsweek.

“I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song ["Express Yourself"],” she tells the magazine. “I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was… interesting.”

GaGa was asked about copying the famous hit in an interview in an April 2011 interview. Outraged, she responded: ”I’m a songwriter. I’ve written loads of music,” she fumed. “Why would I try to put out a song and think I’m getting one over on everybody?”

Charo Says Lady GaGa Is “Madonna With Diarrhea”

She continued: “What a completely ridiculous thing to even question me about… If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression. It’s the same one that’s been in disco music for the last 50 years. Just because I’m the first f***ing artist in 25 years to think of putting it on Top 40 radio, it doesn‚t mean I’m a plagiarist, it means that I‚m f***ing smart. Sorry.”

Madonna and GaGa claim to be friends, complimenting each other’s work. But is it just for publicity?

P.S.- I don’t think GaGa copied anything. And quite frankly, her song is better. Suck it, Madonna.

Did you notice anyone missing from the Fresh Prince reunion photo released last week?

SPOILER ALERT: It was Janet Hubert. The woman who played the role of Aunt Vivian Banks from 1990 through 1993.

Willow Smith’s Fun “Fireball” Music Video ft. Nicki Minaj

Hubert told TMZ the reason she refused to attend the reunion was because of her longtime feud with co-star Will Smith. ”There will never be a reunion,” she told the site, ”as I will never do anything with an a–hole like Will Smith.”

The actress reportedly blames Smith for being replace by Daphne Reid for the final three years of the run.

“This constant reunion thing will never ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an apology, which he doesn’t know the word,” she said.

Dang, girl.

After bad-mouthing costar Derek Hough, yelling “F**k Carrie Ann [Inaba] backstage, and refusing to speak to reporters after he was voted off with partner Hope Solo, resident hot head Maksim Chemerkovskiy has found himself in hot water with the Dancing with the Stars crew.

DWTS Hope Solo’s Turn To Defend Maksim Chmerkovskiy

His missteps this season has the staffers at the ABC reality show “livid,” according to an inside source. ”He’s a poor sport,” the insider said. “People are suggesting he get anger management!” Other crew members also believe “Maks’ antics reflect poorly on the show.”

Chmerkovskiy’s manager and ABC had no comment.

I HATE his attitude on the show! If I want to see drama and cat fights, I can’t turn to Bravo for some Real Housewives action. I don’t want to see that kind of behavior when I tune in to DWTS. I honestly can’t believe he hasn’t been fired yet!

Boy, Dancing with the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy has had one heck of a week!

After Maksim lashed out at judges on Monday night’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, some of his co-stars like Lacey Schwimmer and Chaz Bono supported his outburst, but other dancing pro Derek Hough seemed to side with the judges.

DWTS Feud: Maksim Chmerkovskiy vs. Judge Len Goodman

“Sometimes you do take things personally…I did that one time with Shannon Elizabeth. I went off. And I thought, ‘Oh my goodness, I can’t ever do that again!’ I felt like the judges have been incredibly generous this season so I was surprised,” Derek said.

In an interview on Good Morning America Wednesday, Maksim responded to Derek’s comments. ”Derek Hough has been very supportive of his personal career on the show. When you say judges have been generous, with all due respect, if I had Nicole Scherzinger followed by Jennifer Grey followed by Ricki Lake, I probably would not be very upset with the judges either,” he said.

“One thing I’m not going to embrace is pointing fingers and disrespectful remarks,” Maksim explained. “Why are judges allowed to compare us to animals and point their fingers and we can’t say we’re work and show our opinion?”

Okay. Newsflash, Maksim. You are on a competition show. You are going to be criticized. I’m so sick of your attitude. Good luck getting votes! (and this is coming from a diehard Dancing with the Stars fan)

Dancing With The Stars pro, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, went a bit too far with his remarks towards judge Len Goodman after he and his celebrity partner, soccer star Hope Solo, delivered what was probably the most boring and dull performance during a night dedicated to Broadway on Monday (October 24).

YAWN: Hope Solo Broadway Rumba On Dancing With The Stars (VIDEO)

Watch Maksim and Hope’s lukewarm Rumba performance HERE. Len started to say he hasn’t lost faith in Hope, adding, “I always feel like there is so much there, and for some reason it hasn’t come out. This is your worst dance of the season in my opinion.”

Obviously, Maksim was not happy with this opinion. Len: “I’ve been in this business for 50 years,” and Maksim sharply retorted: “Then maybe it’s time to go!” [video here]

Oh snap!

Len was totally right when he blamed the pro dancer for the extra lame performance. Maksim also accused the judge of being too judgmental when his job is to judge the contestants on the show. What?

“She [Hope] is improving,” the Ukraine Bachelor star insisted. “That is the point. I’m extremely proud of her. This is the first time she came out and she did exactly what she planned and there was no stress and no tension and it was a great performance. And I really liked dancing with her tonight. And to get comments that was the opposite of what it was, it wasn’t even upsetting, it was more like, ‘I have had enough!’ You have an opinion. I also have an opinion…The judges will say, ‘Hey, this is show business, this is supposed to be fun.’ Well, I had fun tonight.”

When asked if his fellow pro-dancers backed his opinion on the subject, Maks said, “Not all of them [share my opinion]. Most of them, yes. But there are a few of them that actually went up to the judges and for some reason went as far as apologizing for me and disagreeing with what I said.”

What do other pro dancers and celebrity dancers think about the feud between Maksim and the DWTS judge:

Derek Hough: “Sometimes you do take things personally…I did that one time with Shannon Elizabeth. I went off. And I thought, ‘Oh my goodness, I can’t ever do that again!’ I felt like the judges have been incredibly generous this season so I was surprised.”

Karina Smirnoff (Maksim’s ex-fiancée): “We danced right after Maks so I just wanted to make sure that the judges made sure that we didn’t concur with Maks’ opinion…He needs a hug.”

Lacey Schwimmer: “He spoke his opinion and he should be allowed to do it.”

J.R. Martinez: “He did go a little too far with it, but it is what it is.”

David Arquette: “I’m usually harder on myself than the judges.”

Hopefully, Maksim will eventually learn some manners and learn to respect the judges’ opinions even if he strongly disagrees with them. Maksim did not express his opinion, as Lacey so delicately put it, he was just plain rude. David Arquette’s comment just makes me love him even more. What a classy gentleman.

Martha Stewart‘s daughter Alexis appeared on The Today Show Monday morning to promote her new book with former collaborator Jennifer Koppelman-Hutt, titled Whateverland.

Alexis Stewart Had Baby Girl: Martha Stewart Is a Grandma!

Alexis, who says growing up with her mother was like having “a glue gun pointed at my head,” reveals other secrets about America’s homemaker inside the book as well. When asked if the book was an attack on her famous mother, she responded, “It’s not a book about my mother. It’s a book about growing up and learning to live with what happened or didn’t happen.”

Her icy responses didn’t end there.

What made the interview so uncomfortable were the exchanges, or lack of, between Alexis and Koppelman-Hutt, who have “broken up” since writing the book and working on their radio show together.

British Ban Martha Stewart From Entering Country

When asked about the end of their friendship, Alexis said, “If you want to punish somebody, never talking to them again is a really good method.”

I was watching this interview live and DYING over the awkwardness. If Alexis was there to promote her book, she did the opposite. I’m pretty sure the public just thinks she’s a cold b**ch now.

If you think you can handle it, watch the video HERE.

This sounds familiar!

Kelsey Grammer is producing a new television show about a man who is married to a younger woman. This man has an ex-wife, who is dating a younger man, who drives him nutty. Brilliant!

Kelsey Grammer Vs. Camille Grammer – The Saga Continues

According to insiders, the sitcom, called Generations, has been picked up by FOX. The script will be written by Adam Resnick. It’s one of many shows being considered by the network and it may or may not make it to the air.

In the meantime, Kelsey certainly hasn’t been quiet about his divorce from Camille Grammer. Earlier this week he said putting her on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was a “parting gift.”

Can’t wait to see how this plays out!

“The View” co-hosts, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters, were involved in quite an interesting argument over the use of the N-word on Monday (October 3)- watch videos below.

Whoopi Goldberg brought the subject and used the N-word while quoting presidential candidate Herman Cain. Barbara also used the word, adding, “It’s very hard for me to say. … The fact that I just said it now gives me chills.”

However, when Barbara used the N-word, Sherri, who was okay with Whoopi saying it, claimed to be personally offended by the way Barbara said the word. Who’s acting like an ignorant racist now?

“I didn’t like the way you said it,” Shepherd told her co-host. “I don’t know if it’s a semantics thing, but it’s something that goes through my body.”

“When I heard you say it, it was fine,” Shepherd told Goldberg. “You said it a different way.”

“Yeah, it’s something about hearing you say it,” Shepherd said. “I don’t like it when you use the word. … When you say it, it’s a different connotation.”

So Sherri and Whoopi are allowed to joke around and say the N-word as much as they please, but Barbara isn’t because she is white. This is a very simple example of racism, coming from a person who revealed she was a victim of racially-motivated bullying.

We should all just agree to abolish the N-word. And for Sherri’s sake of argument, I’d also suggest African-Americans stop using the term “white trash” to refer to low-life Caucasians.

The one Housewife who could arguably be the most well behaved of them all has found herself in hot water with Bravo.

Jacqueline Laurita failed to attend the Season 3 reunion filming, negating her contract with the network. “It’s true. Jacqueline didn’t attend the reunion and doesn’t wish to return to the show,” a source close to the production says. She is currently waiting to see how Bravo will penalize her for skipping the filming.

Jacqueline Laurita Leaving Real Housewives of New Jersey?

The drama started earlier this week when she took to Twitter to let fans know she wouldn’t be attending the special recording. According to the same source, Laurita’s main problem with the show is co-star Teresa Giudice. “Teresa has tried to sabotage every member of the cast in many different ways,” the source claimed. “She’s fooling the public in many ways.”

Jacqueline Laurita Opens Up About RHONJ Drama

The reality star feels the network has “created unnecessary and forced drama.” And with just a month left of shooting on Season 4, she’s “rebelling,” says the source.

“She wants to protect her family and her sanity,” the source continued. “She feels the environment isn’t healthy and she can’t trust anyone. It’s become stressful for her and it’s just not fun for her anymore.”

Bravo has yet to respond with comment.

I thought these two were BFFs!

In a preview for Thursday night’s episode, Snooki and her boyfriend Jionni LaValle get into a druken arguement (shocker!) at nightclub in Florence and JWoww, ever the peacemaker, makes a futile attempt to pacify her bestie.

You’re acting like a f–king asshole… He’s running away from you!

Just a thought JWoww, but maybe that’s not the best opening line to use when trying to calm somebody down…

An enraged Snooki fires back, “You’re such a bitch… I hate you!”  To which Jwoww articulately counters, ”I am a bitch, but I’m giving you a f–king reality check!”

Always such a meeting of the minds with these two.

I hope the gal pals can patch things up before they start having to do promos for their MTV spin off!

While appearing on Conan Monday night, comedienne Kathy Griffin revealed that Sarah Palin is old news, but ultra conservative Michele Bachmann has certainly caught her attention.

Kathy Griffin To Play Sarah Palin-Type Character On ‘Glee’

Kathy told Conan O’Brien that while she was in Washington, DC to research for her rally to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, she met Bachmann in an elevator. Perhaps mistaking her for someone else, Bachmann’s team pulled out a camera to video the two together. Griffin says she asked the Congresswoman if she’d support an effort to repeal the law that banned homosexuals from the military. When Bachmann responded with a resounding “no,” Griffin said: ”Congresswoman Bachmann, were you born a bigot or did you, like, grow into it?” while the cameras still rolled.

And how did Bachmann respond?

“That’s a good question. I’m gonna have to get back to ya.”

I smell a campaign slogan!

Watch Kathy talk about the meeting HERE.
