Beyonce Admits She is Filthy

Now where did I put that cheeseburger? Staying kempt in the spotlight can be exhausting. You have to like, make sure everything is ironed and de-cat haired, and that the mustard on your lip is all licked off before you get close to someone. It really can run a sane person into the ground. Just ask Beyonce - at home, she's a slob. At least that's what Madam Knowles admitted about herself in an interview with Ebony magazine. "I'm a little messy," she said. At home, "I don't have any shoes on. No makeup. My shoes are left at the door. My purse is in the kitchen. I'm relaxed!" So basically Beyonce is a regular person and just ruined our fantasies of her being an indestructible goddess of perfection. Great. Now that we know Beyonce eats cheese off the floor just like the rest of us, how can we ever take Sasha Fierce seriously again? Luckily for her, Jay-Z keeps things so fresh and so clean, clean. "I think that is the most difficult thing for him," she said. "He's very, very organized." Dirty divas and clean-freak rappers? The world just doesn't make sense anymore.

One foxy lady. Earlier this week, we told you that the fabulously sexy Megan Fox is now single. Aside from buying a cake, hanging streamers, getting a Pinata and throwing a party in our office, we'd didn't really care that much. What we care more about? We care more about who this lady is gonna date next. Cause really, rebound sex is just so much better. Here's our list of eligible bachelors: Christian Bale: Not because he's verbally abusive, because he's passionate. After too many mind-blowingly boring nights spent spoon feeding mega-oldie Brian Austin Green oatmeal, we think it's time this girl experienced some enthusiasm. Luke Perry: Face it, it would be hilarious. But if you think about it, they might just be the perfect couple. Aside from being old, Luke is a bad boy. Megan is a bad girl. I know, I've seen pictures. James Franco: This artsy, laid back dude is just what Megan needs. I can picture the two taking naked black and white pictures and experimenting with nothing but colorful paint, large canvases and their naked bodies. Post break up, there might even be an indie film she can star in. Bruce Willis: He's a strong man and a father figure. What's more, I've never seen him dance. Yes, unlike Brian Austin Green's strange Vanilla Ice noodle dancing during the opening credits of 90210, Willis shows no sign of getting down any time soon. Plus, his bald head is oh so shiny. David Kross: We've seen The Reader, otherwise known as the "The Full Frontal." This guy is well-endowed, nuf' said.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Illusionists Siegfried and Roy headed back to the stage for a one-night-only comeback performance Saturday, more than five years after a brutal tiger attack ended the careers of the longtime Las Vegas duo. The charity performance was promoted as the "the final bow" for Roy Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher, the German-born showmen responsible for one of the most successful shows in Las Vegas history. The two had been stage partners for 45 years when a 380-pound Bengal tiger named Montecore sank its teeth into Horn's neck during a live performance and dragged him offstage in front of a stunned audience. Horn, now 64, was partially paralyzed, suffering a damaged neck artery and crushed windpipe in the October 2003 attack. see more on NewsOK.com

Gisele Bundchen on the new cover of Spanish magazine DT Platinum with a recycled image from an editorial that ran in V Magazine almost a year ago is further proof that the recession and global economy crisis is taking its toll pretty hard on print publications. While no one can argue that Gisele Bundchen looks extremely hot on DT Platinum, the fact that the recycled image is chosen for the cover and not just an editorial inside the issue, highlights the economical trouble that the magazine industry in facing. After all, a magazine cover is the most defining attribute of an issue. Choosing an old image from a different magazine is a strong indicator that the magazine is running out of creativity and resources. For its part, DT magazine tried to spice things up by giving the Gisele Bundchen image the horizontal flip treatment in order to give it a bit of a fresh makeover. The used image was taken by Mario Testino and styled by Nicola Formichetti. Check out some of the images of that editorial in the gallery and the full V Magazine spread below.

Cooking With Clara

by Mike Krumboltz The world is full of cooking experts, but there's only one Clara Cannucciari. The 93-year-old chef has become a Web sensation thanks to her Web series, "Depression Cooking With Clara." Ms. Cannucciari was recently profiled on "Good Morning America," and searches on the suddenly famous foodie rose like soufflé on steroids. Folks want to know more about her, as well as where they can see the chef strut her stuff. Lookups on "clara cannucciari videos" are through the roof, and related queries on "clara cannucciari biography" are also on the rise. According to the interview with "GMA," Ms. Cannucciari learned her style of cooking from her mother during the Great Depression. Her mother was an expert at making tasty and healthy meals for not much money, and that's the kind of knowledge Ms. Cannucciari imparts to her audience. These days, such tips especially come in handy. For those looking to stretch their budget she recommends pasta, and lots of it. The cooking sensation is currently working on a DVD that compiles all her videos with some help from her grandson. In the meantime, you can check out her delightful recipe for pasta and peas. As Clara puts it, "It's a very simple dish, but it's very tasty and good for you." Bon appétit!

Kanye West Tells Everyone to Give Chris Brown a Break

Kanye likes beef. Do you ever find yourself really disliking someone and not quite knowing why? As if they have some genetic trait that just makes them totally repulsive, but you can't put your finger on it? Well, Kanye West is not one of those people. We know exactly why we don't like him. Believe it or not, there are two parts to his latest pseudo-squabble. King Kanye has taken on both Radiohead and people who think Chris Brown did something wrong when he tried to cave Rihanna's face in. Still, none of it will air. Kanye vs. Radiohead At a taping of VH1's Storytellers, Kanye addressed an incident at the Grammys where Thom Yorke, singer for Radiohead, apparently snubbed him backstage. This really irked West, who had previously claimed to idolize the band. "So when he performed at the Grammys," said Kanye "I sat the f--- down." Storytellers is the kind of show that encourages its stars to go on rants, so I can only imagine the tingles producers got when Kanye agreed to perform. He's like an ever-flowing well of controversy, beefs and sayings, filled to the brim with egomania. Kanye vs. Sanity Later on in the same interview Kanye asked the audience, "Can't we give Chris a break? ... I know I make mistakes in life." He's apparently talking about Chris Brown, who's been having a hard time lately living with the fact that he just tried to kill R&B singer Rihanna. Yes, because the only thing the world loves more than a man who beats women is a man who defends a man who beats women. If you thought Kanye had taken a leap in defending Chris Brown, take a gander at the next embattled lady battler he's taken under his wing: "O.J. Simpson, amazing. Is he not? What he did, when he did, what he did. Was he not amazing though?" Even though this all sounds like a ratings bonanza, VH1 decided to cut the material because Kanye's tirades dragged on. Show producer Bill Flanagan was the one responsible for leaving these choice cuts on the editing room floor, saying, "a lot of Kanye's stories went long. I tried to get to the essence of his comments." I think you've succeeded, laddie Flanagan. His essence smells, and it smells bad.

Imagine the possibilities... Rumors were flying around all day yesterday that George Clooney had leased his Lake Como villa to soccer superstar (and Man Snack) David Beckham. The idea of these two delicious specimens lounging in around an Italian villa, poolside in their European itty bitty man shorts... sorry, I got distracted. But how much of this little rumor is true? Well, according to Clooney's rep: "One hundred percent not true." George is filming in America at this time. He is not renting the house to anyone, and that would include David." That's disappointing. We prefer to imagine the two men, feeding each other grapes, drinking Chianti, and exercising their burgeoning bromance with one-on-one soccer games poolside. Oh well.

A very safe middle passage. Last night's American Idol turned me into some sort of amnesiac. At the end of the two-hour episode, I had almost no recollection of what I had just seen. I had to rack my brain to remember the contestants in the second group of 12, who seemed to take their shot at stardom with a Robert Pattinson-like nonchalance. While I can't say I was as excited for the second group of 12 as I was for the first, there were some contestants I was looking forward to seeing perform. The beautiful Jasmine Murray seemed like a strong contender - and I still think she is - but her performance last night was bleh at best. She chose "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles - the kind of song you listen to only when there's nothing else on the radio. She looked beautiful, but her sass, her spunk and her soul were absent. The poor song choices continued as Matt Giraud - the dueling piano player - tried to breathe some funk into Coldplay's "Viva La Vida," an impossible feat if ever there was one. Nothing says anti-funk like Chris Martin. I'd like to see Matt advance to the Top 12, but I think it might be a hard road for him after that performance. So, some early disappointments. Young mommy Megan Corkrey managed to look both hard and soft at the same time - and she definitely exuded some rock chick presence up there - but I wasn't a fan of her song choice ("Put Your Records On") and I thought her performance was uneven. I was, however, impressed by another young mommy, Jesse Langseth. I might be the only one in America, but I thought Jesse did a nice job with "Bette Davis Eyes," which displayed the interesting aspects of her voice.

Kim Kardashian Poses With Chimp, Offends Many

Those Kardashians. Remember when that woman was brutally mauled by the crazed ape? Yeah, well the Kardashians took that as inspiration and got themselves their own chimp. Kimmy K., her mom, and two of her sisters decided to pose with their new monkey friend, Suzy, and post pictures to her website (Kim's, not Suzy's). So what's the issue? Apparently people are offended. Why? Because all monkeys are officially on time-out. One must not speak of monkeys until a crazed squirrel decides to terrorize a postal worker or something. The chimp doesn't even really belong to the Kardashians. The girls rented little Suzy as a joke, not realizing how horribe their timing was. Kardashian says, "I understand my timing was not appropriate and it was insensitive of me. What happened to the woman that was attacked by the chimpanzee was devastating.

Your second favorite Oscar couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, brought their four older kids to see The Little Mermaid on Broadway in NYC last night. Pax brought his drink to go after the show as he held onto dad's hand. Little blondie Shiloh hitched a ride in Brad's arms. Angelina brought up the rear with Maddox the fashion plate and Zahara. The twins are too little to enjoy the lively performance, but hopefully Knox and Vivienne will make it a whole family affair soon while the family settles into New York for the time being.

Salma Hayek Got Hitched on Valentine's Day

Salma Hayek Got Hitched on Valentine's Day

First comes love, then comes baby, then comes marriage... She of the saintly breastfeeding was apparently made an honest woman this Valentine's Day, marrying jillionaire (and baby-daddy) Francois-Henri Pinault. What's the deal with the tacky, cliche nuptials? People is reporting that Hayek, 42, and Pinault, 46, were married on Saturday in the City Hall of the Sixth Arrondissement in central Paris. The couple have a stormy relationship, and were supposed to have been broken up in August of last year. The couple share a daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault in July 2007, so perhaps the reconciliation and subsequent marriage was for her sake. In any case, we hope that the Pinault-Hayeks are happy in their new marriage. And that Salma continues her humanitarian feeding program...

Jennifer Hudson's Super Bowl Performance: Her First Since Her Mother, Brother Were Killed

TAMPA, Fla. — One was a 12-minute party, the other a 2-minute proclamation. Bruce Springsteen and Jennifer Hudson used the Super Bowl stage for two very different performances Sunday night: he proved he's still The Boss with an electric halftime show, while Hudson showed she's ready to return to the spotlight after the slayings of three family members. Springsteen and his E Street Band had turned down numerous invitations to play the halftime show, declining the high-profile time slot because it was a bit beneath them.

Ashlee Simpson 'disgusted'

Jessica Simpson's sister is outraged by media scrutiny of her sibling's weight.

Someone Foolishly Knocks Elisabeth Hasselbeck Up Again

We don't know what's worse - the recession or the thought of Elisabeth Hasselbeck's terrifyingly fertile uterus. OK, it's definitely the uterus thing. Because Elisabeth Hasselbeck from The View is pregnant again. We've lost count of how many children Hasselbeck has now, but we think it's about a million - almost enough to entirely repopulated the planet with billions of tiny shrill indignant right-wing nutsacks. Apparently Elisabeth Hasselbeck didn't even realise she was pregnant, putting her stresses down to 'election fever'. We know the feeling - we once thought we were pregnant, but it was actually just Elisabeth Hasselbeck's voice giving us tit-ache.

Phelps' image goes up in smoke (Yahoo! Sports)

Michael Phelps' suspension does little more than save face for the group that delivered it.

Jessica Alba Calls TMZ, Bill O'Reilly the Stupid Ones

Jessica Alba is disappointed in all of us for paying attention to her during what she blogs is "perhaps the most salient time in our country's history." (Don't worry, Jess, we're more disappointed in ourselves than you'll ever know.) She's speaking, of course about the "a-hole" episode, when Jessica

The Buzz Turns One

by Mike Krumboltz You say it's your birthday? Well, it's our birthday, too. That's right, Yahoo! Buzz is one year old. To commemorate the occasion, we took a look back at four people who made our venture a success. It was hard to pick just a handful of individuals to focus on. After all, this was a year that gave us Sarah Palin, the election of Barack Obama, and Michael Phelps' domination at the summer Olympics. Oh, what the heck, we'll just go with those... Sarah Palin The folksy Alaskan exploded onto the scene when Senator McCain picked her to be his running mate. Even now, months after the pair lost the election to President Obama and Vice President Biden, Caribou Barbie still looms large in the Buzz. Two of the Buzz Log's biggest hits: Our recap of Sarah Palin's convention speech in which she uttered the infamous pit bull with lipstick line, and the speculation that she'll make a run for the presidency in 2012 (paging Tina Fey!). Bottom line, if an article mentioned Sarah Palin, her children, her glasses, her love of moose burgers, or her subsidized wardrobe, odds are it was buzzed early and often. Barack Obama At times it may have seemed like Yahoo! Buzz was dominated by the new president. That's because it was. Indeed, everything he did and said tended to get buzzed. When Mr. Obama got a new limousine, we wrote about it. When his daughters captured the attention of the world, the clicks came fast and furious. When he mentioned a new puppy for his two girls during his victory speech, it was one of the most talked about stories of the year. And when he shed his shirt for an excursion to the beach, our post drew nearly 20,000 buzzes. Somehow we doubt a shirtless Jimmy Carter would have drawn the same reaction. Michael Phelps Amid all the hubbub over Michael Phelps' recent flap with the law, it's easy to forget that this past summer the guy could literally do no wrong (at least in the swimming pool). He competed in eight different events and won gold medals in all of 'em. Some of the most popular stories had to do with his dedicated and emotional mom, who rooted for her son as only a mother can. Also popular -- a Yahoo! Sports story on Michael's father, who was conspicuously absent from the stands. You Thanks to you, Yahoo! Buzz has become the Web's best place to get the scoop on what's happening on everything from presidential politics to scandal-ridden swimmers. We'd like to thank all of you for reading, commenting, and buzzing up your favorite stories. Here's to a great (and very buzzy) sophomore year!
