Here’s Kat Von D in her typical goth-style outfit. She’s hanging out with a guy friend. What’s most striking about these pictures, though, is that Kat looks happy. After all Kat went through with Jesse James and the abrupt cancellation of her show, ‘L.A. Ink,’ it’s good to see her smiling!

Kat went through a lot, and all of it in the public eye. She looks like she’s had some time to just relax and regain her equilibrium. Good for her! I wonder if she has any new TV projects lined up?

Mariah Carey is still the only confirmed judge for the upcoming season of ‘American Idol.’ When she arrived on a flight to LA, Mariah was asked about the whole judging situation. Paparazzi asked about rumors of tension between herself and possible new judge Nicki Minaj. Mariah said:

“What tension? There’s no tension!”

When asked who Mariah would like to join her on the judges panel, Mariah responded:

“I’d answer that, but I’m not quite sure how.”

Then a paparazzo asked Mariah how she’d feel about judging solo.

“Naturally … why not?”

Why not, indeed? LOL! I suspect ‘American Idol’ is going to wait until ‘The Voice’ and ‘X Factor’ premiere and then announce who will be joining Mariah at the judging table. Why compete for attention during the pre-season promos?

You have to give Kristen Stewart. She may have opted to promote her film ‘On The Road’ at the Toronto International Film Fest over promoting ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2′ at the VMAs last night, but Kristen did everything expected at a premiere, including giving interviews and signing autographs. I wouldn’t have blamed Kristen in the slightest for just posing for some pics and fleeing inside the theater!

Fans were at the ‘On The Road’ premiere with signs saying “Talent, Beauty, Strength and Courage — We stand by Kristen always,” and “We are always with you Kristen Stewart.” Kristen told MTV about the fans waiting for her with supportive signs:

“Dude, I’m really happy that they’re here for ‘On the Road.’ I think most of them were fans before I had anything to do with ['Twilight'], which is why they’re here anyways, so it’s awesome.”

I’m sure it’s a huge relief to Kristen to finally have that post-scandal appearance out of the way. To be greeted with supportive fans is a huge bonus! I thought she handled herself well at the ‘On the Road’ premiere. Hopefully this is a good sign for what’s to come with all the upcoming ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2′ hoopla.

Miley Cyrus showed off a very different look last night at the VMAs! It was fitting that Miley introduced Pink during the show. Miley looks like she could be Pink’s sister with that hair coloring and hairstyle. Miley opened up to the press about her wedding plans and work while on the red carpet.

“I’m really excited to obviously get married, but I kind of already feel married. I know we are forever. I don’t really need the paper right now, so I’m just really trying to work.

“I’ll have a single out this year. This is the first time I get to tell people about it, so I’m really excited! I’m really proud of the album. It’s my favorite thing I’ve done probably ever. It’s all really different.”

This is the first new album Miley’s had in a few years. I’m sure her music fans are thrilled! Miley also talked about her pretty radical makeover.

“It’s so easy. The only thing that’s hard is that it’s the only thing that people want to talk about. People are like, ‘Oh, I didn’t recognize you!’ I’m like, ‘I know, but I love it, and it’s really me and it’s good.”

Miley certainly has changed up her look, but I can see where it’s much more low maintenance! Are you a fan?

If you didn’t get a chance to watch MTV’s VMAs last night, then I’ve got one of the most highly anticipated moments of the evening: a NEW trailer for the final movie in ‘The Twilight Saga,’ ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2.’ YES! Are you ready for November to arrive, already? LOL

Some are saying Robert Pattinson “underwhelmed” at the VMAs last night in his casual attire. Kristen Stewart rocked the red carpet at the premiere of ‘On The Road,’ on the other hand. While I agree Kristen looked great, I think Rob’s critics missed the point. No one cared WHAT he wore. People just wanted to see this new ‘Breaking Dawn’ trailer!

Kristin Chenoweth made her first public appearance since being injured on the set of ‘The Good Wife’. She had to be rushed to the hospital. Kristin explained what happened on ‘Live with Kelly & Michael.’

“Well, I’m doing so much better than I was. Bascially a big lighting thing … fell and hit me. Knocked me out, knocked my face and slammed me down to the ground. … The back of my head got hit on the curb. …I had a skull fracture, rib issue and neck issue and a hip issue. I’m issue-ridden, but I’m getting better.

“I wear my neck brace on and off,” and she patted the back of her head, “This is healing. I couldn’t really form a sentence really well fter it happened. I’m the queen of multi-tasking. I’m not so good at that right now. I’ll be like, ‘Mom, are you talking on the thing that you push, the phone.That’s been interesting, but that’s getting better. I’m grateful. It could have been so much worse.”

It sounds pretty bad- goodness! Kristin said she gained a couple of pounds from all the gifts she was sent by concerned well-wishers. It sounds like Kristin has more important things to worry about than a couple of pounds. Hopefully she continues and fully recovers.
