JESSICA LISTER “SCROPION GIRL”

THE FIRST PICTURE OF JENNIFER LOPEZ, STEVEN TYLER AND RANDY JACKSON ON THE “AMERICAN IDOL” JUDGES TABLE.

If you were wondering what it will look like when Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler sit next to Randy Jackson on “American Idol” next season, you got a special treat from producer Nigel Lythgoe. He tweeted a pic of the new lineup!

The pic was taken at auditions in New Jersey. The pic shows Nigel directing Steven, Jennifer and Randy, who are all sitting in their spots at the judges’ table. Ryan Seacrest is lurking by the table as well.

The caption on the Tweet says: “It’s great to be back on American Idol. The judges were great.”

LOUSY LUCK WITH THE LADIES?… TRY WEARING SILLY BANDZ

Silly Bandz aren’t just for grade-schoolers.

Grown-ups are using them to flirt with singletons at New York City’s bars and clubs.

One guy said, “I went on a date with a girl. She gave me one. Two days later, another girl gave me another Silly Band. I felt important.”

He now keeps his own stock of the bands, shaped like palm trees and surfers, wrapped around his right arm.

He says, “People always notice them. They are a great conversation starter.”

So, little did we know…

While Lindsay Lohan was visiting a homeless shelter in L.A. over the weekend, she was also shopping around a photo of herself wearing her SCRAM bracelet days after leaving jail.

An insider tells Usmagazine.com, “Lindsay Lohan was calling around the pap agencies all weekend trying to get $10,000 up front to pose up in the SCRAM bracelet. All of the major players passed, and she ended up doing the setup with a small agency.”

 ”She was pimping it out all weekend, looking for 10 grand, but who wants to deal with that headache?”

5 WORST TV WORKOUT PRODUCTS EVER

NEWSFLASH:  Many of the workout products being pitched in late-night infomercials overpromise at best and simply fail all together at worst.

Just something to keep in mind the next time you reach for the phone while watching an infomercial for one of these five worst workout products.

~~ Shake Weight
More than 4 million people have watched the Shake Weight ads on YouTube.

The Shake Weight is a 2.5 pound spring-loaded dumbbell device that users grip two-handed in the middle and shake up and down. 

While the ad promises a full-body workout in “just six minutes a day” through something called “dynamic inertia,” fitness experts and authors don’t buy it.

The jury may still be out on whether the Shake Weight delivers on its promises, but for all the joy and laughter it has provided us, we’ll give it a break for now.

~~ The Hawaii Chair
The Hawaii Chair is a chair with a 2,800-rpm motor strapped underneath it. The base of the chair gyrates you around in a hula motion that supposedly tones muscles.

However, the best thing about The Hawaii Chair is its promise you can shape your body while at work, keeping fit while you sit at your desk. Supposedly you can answer the phone, do paperwork and conduct meetings all while gyrating from the hips down. Good luck with that.

~~ Electric Ab Belts
The Hawaii Chair has nothing on ab belts, which again promises the benefits of exercising without all that nasty, sweaty exercise.

The belts claim to use electrical impulses to make your abdominal muscles contract, squeezing hundreds of sit-ups in just minutes. Sounds great, right?

The problem is you can’t burn fat by just making your muscles twitch for a few minutes.

A University of Wisconsin-La Crosse study in 2002 found that even after eight weeks such machines produced “no significant changes in weight, body-fat percentage, strength or overall appearance.”

The bottom line? The small print in ab belt ads suggest combining the belt with good old-fashioned exercise and eating right. Go ahead and try that, minus the belt.

~~ The Ab Rocker
The Ab Rocker is a machine designed to work your abdominals through a rowing-like rocking motion– and it does provide some benefits. However, a San Diego State University study ranked it dead last in a test of 13 abdominal exercise products, labeling it 80 percent less effective than the traditional abdominal crunch.

Fellow ab exercise machines the Ab Roller and the Torso Track performed a little better, but still were not much better than the basic crunch.

~~ ThighMaster
If you watched TV at all in the 1990s, it was nearly impossible to avoid Suzanne Somers — of  “Three’s Company” fame.

The $20 ThighMaster was basically a spring-loaded, foam-covered piece of metal. It ended up in the back of a closet or in a yard sale before too long.

That’s because, as any health or fitness expert will tell you, working out a specific area of your body won’t melt the fat away there. Sure, the ThighMaster might make the muscles in your thighs firmer and stronger, but it’s not the miracle fat-burning cure many were hoping for.

9.27.10

If you woulda asked me on the fly what i thought may be the ‘world’s scariest job’ i probably woulda went with stuff like: window washers for high-rise buildings, or powerline installers, those people who dive with sharks and stuff (if theres a job in there somewhere)…you know…things like that.
After watching this video, i would do all of those i just mentioned FOR FREE before i even ATTEMPTED to do what i saw in this video for MONEY!
What you are about to see is a short documentary of what its like being a Transmission Tower Climber (aka Someone who has to climb to the TOP of radio/TV towers etc. to FIX them).
What makes this video uber-scary as you are about to see is the fact its shot in the POV of the climber himself. This might make you VERY queezy if you have acrophobia. Even i get those unpleasant butterflies watching certain parts of this video.
By the way this tower theyre climbing is 1768 feet! Thats TALLER than the Eiffel Tower (1063 ft.), The Empire State Building (1250 ft.) & The Sears Tower (1482 ft.)
Think you could do this job? Watch and decide for yourself…

WORLD’S SCARIEST JOB

What i find crazy about this video (other than just the whole climbing part) is how you need to bring EVERY tool you might possibly need with you while youre up there. I mean, theres no ‘oh shucks i forgot a wrench’ on a job like this’ because to climb back down and then back up would not only waste almost half a day but probably all your energy on top of it.
I do get a kick out of the fact theyre wearing hard-hats though, THANK GOD, cause if they fell we wouldnt want them to get hurt now lol.
Again these are things we dont necessarily think about when we see them. Radio & TV towers, just like every other form of electronic equipment, need repair. And there has to be SOME WAY to repair them (you cant just grab a helicopter and disassemble the tower in mid-air and bring the parts to the ground and re-assemle them).
Knowing theres people out there that are required to do a job of this extremity makes me realize just how wimpy it is doing what i do for a living lol.

RIHANNA LOOKIN’ LIKE A TRUE ROCK STAR: FADED/HOT MESS…. AFTER DINNER AT GIORGIO BALDI

Rihanna looked a bit tipsy as she was leaving Georgio Baldi restaurant after dinner with friends.

She paired a see-through top with a black bustier and ripped jeans.

Rihanna kept her head down as she walked to the car and didn’t look at the cameras or even raise a smile.

‘JERSEY SHORE’ STAR PAUL (PAULY D) DELVECCHIO TO GET HIS OWN SPIN-OFF SHOW

DJ Pauly D–the deejay of MTV’s hit show “Jersey Shore” — is getting his own spin-off show.

The new TV show will reportedly shy away from the ensemble style of “Jersey Shore,” and instead, will focus on Pauly D, real name is Paul Delvecchio, in his element.

A source says, “It’s another MTV reality show and he’ll be DJ-ing and of course doing things his fans love to watch.”

Those things would include the 28-year-old’s attempt to win over the ladies without his “Shore” buddies.

The supposed show has a name, but it has yet to be revealed.

“It’s scheduled to begin shooting within the month.”

10 ‘GLEE’FUL FACTS

1. Matt Morrison (Mr. Schu), in real life, would have actually attended high school at the same time as the Cory Monteith (Finn), Mark Salling (Puck) and Harry Shum, Jr. (Mike Chang). They are less than four years apart in age even though he plays their teacher.

2. Harry Shum, Jr. was one of the original iPod dancing silhouettes in the Nano ads.

3. Those song-and-dance numbers that look like they just randomly happen in the hallways? Well, they’re obviously not so random. Each episode can take up to 10 days to produce because the cast has to learn the choreography and record their vocals for the music tracks. On average, each episode costs $3 million to make.

4. Heather Morris (Brittany) was a backup dancer for Beyonce. In fact, that’s how she got her part on the show – the choreographer needed someone to teach the cast Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” dance, and since Morris had performed with her in concert, she was hired. She was so great they ended up casting her as Brittany the cheerleader, a recurring character, and now she’s a series regular. Morris also appeared on So You Think You Can Dance in 2006 but failed to make the final 20.

5. You probably know by now that the actor who plays Artie, Kevin McHale, isn’t really paralyzed. In fact, he’s a dancer, and the cast has had to reshoot scenes on more than one occasion because he can’t help but tap his feet to the music. He was once in NLT (“Not Like Them”), a boy band that once opened for the Pussycat Dolls, but they’ve since broken up. If you have eagle eyes you can spot McHale in a couple of appearances on high-profile T.V. shows: he’s in an episode of The Office where Michael takes the pizza boy (McHale) hostage, and he’s in two episodes of True Blood.

6. If you think Fox doesn’t know how to milk a hit when they have one, well, you’d be wrong. It was announced in June that a whole slew of Glee merchandise is about to hit shelves: a Wii karaoke game, a karaoke machine, board games, trivia games, puzzles, Hallmark greeting cards, bags, stationery, clothing at Macy’s, accessories at Claire’s, young adult books and an “autobiography” from Sue. 

7. They may play enemies on the show, but in real life, Lea Michele (Rachel) and Dianna Agron (Quinn) lived together while filming the first season. In real life, Lea Michele is BFF with her on-screen ex, Jonathan Groff (Jesse St. James).

8. Chris Colfer auditioned for Artie – at the time, the character of Kurt didn’t exist. When he auditioned, the writers mentioned he looked like one of the Von Trapps. Colfer said that he had actually just come off of a production of The Sound of Music, playing, ironically, Kurt Von Trapp. They loved Colfer so much they created the character just for him, adding “Hummel” as a reference to the German figurines of chubby-cheeked little children.

9. Also, he’s secretly a ninja.

10. Amber Riley (Mercedes) auditioned for American Idol but didn’t even get far enough for Randy to say, “Dawg, I dunno, it just wasn’t for me.” She thinks it’s pretty funny now, noting that she now works for Fox and they pay her to sing.

NEW ‘BACHELOR’ TO BE REVEALED ON ‘DWTS’

‘Bachelor’ host Chris Harrison tweeted that he will be “sitting next to the new Bachelor” on Monday night’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’ show.

Sources say it’ll be Brad Womack handing out roses for Season 15.

He’s the guy who on Season 11 rejected all the women on the show, including the two finalists — Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas — at the final rose ceremony.

‘AMERICAN IDOL’… ‘CHANGES’

    *  Contestants will get to perform in their own genres every week! No more county singers singing rock and vice versa. Themes will focus on decades rather than genres. “It’s really important to develop what they are good at,” says Nigel.
    * There will be big changes that seem very X-Factor like. Jimmy Iovine, from Interscope/UMG will mentor the kids every week. Big producers like Timbaland will be brought in to coach the kids. It’ll be the best of the best.
    * There will be NO guest mentors. Jimmy Iovine will be the “resident in-house” mentor and will work with the kids every week. They laughed at the idea of Miley Cyrus as mentor
    * The kids will be pushed to improve, to become, “better and more interesting” than in past seasons, “developing the young artists the way they would anyone who signs with the label.”
    * It’s possible there will be guest judges if appropriate. Nigel says they would not turn down an Elton John.
    * The middle rounds are going to be re-vamped. Didn’t go into a lot of detail about how.
    * There could be changes regarding the use of instruments. Ken spent some time dissing the guitar players. He felt some of them hide behind their instruments. Nigel says there will be no “shoe gazers”. They want contestants to move.
    * Nigel says after Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, there were no Idols. “We have got to go back to creating American Idols.”
    * Backstories aren’t going away any time soon. “We’ve still got to get to know these kids”.
    * Nigel wants to bring the focus back to the talent, rather than making decisions based on the ratings.
    * Nobody is there to replace Simon Cowell. Each judge will play themselves, just as Simon did. Every judge will dole out tough critiques when necessary.
    * Jennifer says she believes in “tough love” but could never be cruel. Sounds like she’ll play the Paula role.
    * Hard to tell what role Steven is going to play. He’s inarticulate. He’s moving to Los Angeles. (He lives in Boston).
    * Steven tried to put a positive spin on it, but it’s obvious his Aerosmith bandmates are pissed. He says when they first heard the news they were jealous and angry that they heard it through the media.
    * Jennifer has a 1st look deal with FOX . She’ll develop film and television projects.
    * Fox brass insists the negotiations with both went really smoothly.

THEY’RE TICKED, ON TWITTER… OVER BIEBER

Justin Bieber kissed a girl– and his fans didn’t like it.

(He was snapped making out in the back of a car.)

And for the first time on Twitter, an anti-Bieber topic was trending.

It was #getsomejustin.

Eventually, “Beliebers” came to his defense. One wrote: “as for the rumors and the lies and the ‘i heard’ BS – ENOUGH! He is a kid and it is time we start acting like adults”.

Meantime, ‘The Situation’’s iPhone App is Big Seller

“Jersey Shore”’s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s new mobile app has already made it to the list of Top 10 highest grossing Apple applications since its release last Thursday.

The application, available for $4.99, gives users access to locate “GTL” (Gym, Tan, Laundry) facilities, offers a workout routine aimed to get beach-worthy abs and has a “grenade” dodging video game. The features are directly inspired by phrases and experiences made famous by The Situation and the cast of MTV’s “Jersey Shore.” Users can also email the “Dancing with the Stars” contestant directly via the app.

IF YOU POST PHOTOS ONLINE, THE BAD GUYS WILL KNOW IT… ‘GEOTAGGING’ REVEALS HIDDEN INFORMATION

When you post a photo online, your private information could be revealed without you ever knowing it… through a process called geotagging.

Geotagging embeds the exact GPS coordinates in a photo, and most smart phones and some digital cameras do it automatically.

Marketing firms use the info for marketing purpose but thieves can use the info to rob homes. 

TIP: The website icanstalku.com shows how to turn off the GPS marking on your phone and also exposes real word examples.

For example, someone tweeting pictures of his “new ride” is actually telling the world where he lives and where to find it.

Go to icanstalku. for step-by-step instructions on how to disable the geotag function on most phones.

MILEY CYRUS AND LIAM HEMSWORTH PLANNING THEIR PAPARAZZI MOMENTS

Miley Cyrus and her Aussie beau Liam Hemsworth are fully back on.  In fact, Liam, 20, is even staying at Miley’s pad in Toluca Lake, Calif.!

A source claims, “They’re attempting to make their relationship work without the madness of the paparazzi, so they’re picking and choosing the moments to be photographed in public, like their marathon[Sept. 13] ‘reunion’ makeout session. He doesn’t like his life being dissected by the press, and although she used to be happy with all the attention, she’s come around to his way of thinking.”

And Miley plans on following her man to his homeland of Australia, where he’ll be hosting the Australian Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards in October.
