X FACTOR JUDE SIMON COWELL CONFIRMS HE'S DATING CARMEN ELECTRA

Carmen Electra just made a game changer move! To the left, Demi Lovato. Your time spent gawking at 53 year old Simon Cowell's blossoming chest hair is over. This X Factor mega-judge has been on the market for quite some time, but he's finally admitted to dating world-famous supermodel,  40 year old Carmen Electra! 

But before you start building a shrine to this beautiful duo's relationship, keep in mind that they're just friends with bennies. "We’re people who date,” Simon told On Air with Ryan Seacrest. “She’s adorable, isn’t she?”

Simon might not want to put a label on his love connection with Carmen, but there's no denying that they've been hot and heavy in recent months. These two set the rumor mill in motion when Simon hired Carmen to appear as a guest judge on Britain's Got Talent, and then they were caught making out at a restaurant in Los Angeles back in September. 

Electra has also expressed similar feelings.

After the pair was first spotted out on a date in September, Electra couldn’t help but gush when asked about the new man in her life.

“He's so cute. He is adorable. He's actually a sweetheart,” she told “Access Hollywood” in November. “The thing is, we worked together on ‘Britain's Got Talent.’ I was a guest judge and I had so much fun. I really liked him. I think he's really cool."

Earlier this year, Electra ended her four-year engagement with rocker Robert Patterson and Cowell ended his two-year engagement with makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy.

But exclusivity may not be in the cards for Cowell and Electra just yet. It's been three whole months since Carmen and Simon's tonsil hockey session went down. So we have our eyes on this new romance.

LADIES HE'S OFF THE MARKET! ACTOR MICHAEL EALY SECRETLY GETS MARRIED

Tell us why your hidding son? It took two months for Michael Ealy to claim his wife publicly.  Michael Ealy has tied the knot! People magazine reports that the "Good Wife" actor quietly wed Khatira Rafiqzada in October. Ealy, 39, and his girlfriend of four years, 31, married in an intimate ceremony held in Los Angeles.


Until now his love interests have been kept well under wraps as the star hates putting his private life before the public eye. In music videos he has appeared as the sexy lover of Mariah Carey (Get Your Number) and Beyoncé Knowles (Halo), but in real life he has been faithfully bedding the beautiful Khatira. So enough about him. We all want to know about his hot new wife!

Khatira Ealy in an aspiring actress in her own right but her credits so far are as minimum as they can possibly be. Khatira played the small part of Miss Garrett in a 2010 thriller movie called Chain Letter. We have been unable to find more acting credits for her but that just means she has been unlucky so far in Hollywood.

"Michael has always been a private guy, and he wanted to enjoy his time as a newlywed with his wife privately," Ealy's rep told the publication. "Now that some time has passed and the holidays are here, he wanted to share the news with his fans that he is married and very happy."

Ealy previously dated Halle Berry after meeting in 2004, on the set of the TV movie "Their Eyes Were Watching God." They split in 2005.

THEY MAKE WHAT? REAL HOUSEWIVES SALARY REVEALED "IT PAYS TO BE A TRAIN WRECK"

I'm rich...VERY RICH! And that couldn't be more true these days, sometimes, it pays to be a b*tch! LOUD and obnoxious.  If you've ever wondered how much the lovely ladies on Bravo's various Real Housewives shows make per season, Star magazine is exposing their secret salaries - and yes, the more drama, the more money!

Teresa Giudice - the break-out diva of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the most watched of the Real Housewives shows with an audience of three million - is the top earner among all the women who appear in the various franchises, taking in a whopping $600,000 per season!

Hot on her high heels are Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer of The Real Housewives of New York City, who pull in a cool $500,000 each per season. After castmates Alex McCord and Jill Zarin got the boot last season, the two remaining NYC stars were given huge raises - nearly doubling their salaries, according to Star.

Fan favorite NeNe Leakes, who now appears on NBC's The New Normal and has previously appeared on Fox's Glee, pulls in $350,000 a season for her loud-mouthed antics on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She's accumulated a net worth of $4.5 million, thanks to her popularity with viewers.

We love the song, but that wig gotta go! Tamar Braxton kicked off the morning on a high note. After performing on “The Wendy Williams Show” last week, the “Braxton Family Values” star performed her power ballad “Love and War” on “Good Morning America.”

NEW CRIB RIHANNA PURCHASES $12 MILLION MANSION IN PACIFIC PALISADES

Could life be any better for Rihanna these days? Well it just did, Rihanna has been spotted any and everywhere in the past few months but it looks like she'll have one particular place settle down. The Bajan beauty bought a $12 million Los Angeles mansion.

Though LA has been her home for years now, Rih Rih decided to expand. Her new Pacific Palisades mansion is around 11,000 sq ft and resides on a 33,541 sq ft lot. It looks like the price tag is worth it considering the very isolated space with high fences and trees add priceless privacy for the Pop princess.   

The "Umbrella" singer has been charting across the globe in the past months as she was promoting her seventh studio album, Unapologetic, releasing her second fragrance Nude and touring in the between time. With her first No. 1 album hitting the top spot and "Diamonds" still ripping the charts, its safe to say Rihanna deserves this pad.

The 24-year-old has already purchased a luxurious home in Barbados for her mother that she revealed during her interview on Oprah's Next Chaper earlier this year. Now she will be soaking up more sun in the hills with NFL star Tom Brady and Heidi Klum as her neighbors. Hopefully she'll be all settled in as the  Diamonds World Tour sets off  in spring of  next year.
Check out the flicks of Rih Rih's new crib below.

LA REID LEAVING X-FACTOR TO CONCENTRATE ON RECORD LABEL

X  marks the spot, Antonio “L.A.” Reid has announced that he has decided not to return to the U.S. version of the “X Factor” next year so that he can focus on his role as chairman of his record label Epic Records, which was his job before he sat on the judging panel of the talent competition show.

“I have decided that I will not return to ‘The X Factor’ next year,’ he told Access Hollywood earlier this week. “I have to go back and I have a company to run that I’ve kind of neglected and it saddens me a little bit, but only a little bit.”

and it’s kind of time for me to stop doing the ‘me’ show.

I’m not ruling ever coming back, but I’m definitely not coming back next year.

Reid, who is responsible for launching the careers of superstars like Usher, Toni Braxton, TLC, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Ciara, Pink, Avril Lavigne and many others, says that he’s leaving solely for business reasons and is still on very good terms with the show and fellow judge and executive producer Simon Cowell.

“I love Simon. We have a great relationship, we have fun together, we talk, we laugh, we do bad things, we’re friends,” he said. “I owe so much to Simon. I really have a lot [of] respect for him and I always will. I support him, I support the show and I’ll always be in business with him.”

Reid says he isn’t ruling out the possibility that he might return to the show in the future, but he is 100% positive that he won’t be back next year.

“It was a nice break, it was a nice departure from what I’ve done for the past 20 years, but now I gotta go back to work,” he said. “I have a huge responsibility to a roster of artists … and once I get some work done and get some momentum then maybe I’ll revisit the idea a little later.”

Asked about his judging successor on the “X Factor,” Reid said, “You know who I would love to see take it? And by the way I have nothing to do with it, but my choice would be like Jon Bon Jovi. That’s who I would pick.”
