Link Party: John Mayer Hates Being a Douche Bag, and Angelina Hates Obama
• John Mayer opens up about his struggle with being a womanizing douche bag in the new Details. He invites his haters to stage a douche bag intervention on him so he can call them douche bags.
• President Obama just joined Jennifer Aniston on the list of people Angelina Jolie hates. (Do we really have to drag the president into this nonsense?) Meanwhile, Life & Style believe Angie's next target is Johnny Depp.
• James Franco on General Hospital is the dose of WTF your day needs.
• Here's a fun Miley Cyrus acting all diva-y story: She was at a Pop Burger in NYC and the manager asked for her name for her order and she was all, "Are you serious? You don't recognize me? I'm Miley Cyrus." Then the manager was all, "That's nice for you. Here is your order. Have a good day."
• Enough, Leighton Meester! You have to stop this pop star thing! You've gone too far now and no one seems able to tell you "no," so we're just going to have to do it. No more singing.

Whoa! Kim Kardashian Is Seriously Shrinking
As we all know, our dear E! reality star Kim Kardashian loves to tweet photos of herself in bikinis, and this past Sunday she gave us another one. Gotta give those 2.6 million followers what they want, right?
Well, we're so used to seeing Kim in a bikini that we usually don't pay much attention, but whoa! What happened to the curvy vixen we all fell in love with? Is this the result of the camera angle, the recent spray tan, the makeup?
She tweeted along with the pic: "Quick Trim photo shoot today in Miami! I finally feel I've reached my goal!"
Let us all think back to this past September, when she tweeted a different bikini Quick Trim shot (that would be the photo on the left). There's something about old Kim we miss. Nevertheless, congrats on reaching your goal.

Dancing With the Stars' Mya: What She'd Do With the Disco Ball Trophy
What does one do after spending about 14 weeks working on Dancing With the Stars?
Get some much needed rest.
"I definitely need a break to allow my ankle to heal properly for about a couple of weeks," Mya told me earlier today during a break from rehearsing tonight's finale.
Mya and partner Dmitry Chaplin proved last night why they are this season's best dancers. They nabbed two perfect scores for their paso doble and the megamix, and a 27 for their Hairspray freestyle.
And Mya is also fun to talk to—no matter how tired she may be. I'm going to miss waking up to her voice every Tuesday morning. Read on for the last of our exclusive weekly chats.

Goodbye or Good Riddance to Jon & Kate Plus 8?
Are you glad Jon & Kate Plus 8 is over? Did you watch Jennifer Lopez fall, or Adam Lambert get a rise out of the crowd? And why do you suddenly care about Katie Couric?
The answers—and more questions—in the latest TV ratings quiz:
1. So, was it goodbye or good riddance to Jon & Kate Plus 8? Last night's series finale was actually well-attended, attracting 4.3 million viewers, TLC said, up 2 million from last week's penultimate episode. When all was said and done and repeated in the tabloids, the show remained a ratings winner, if not the scandal-boosted phenomenon of earlier in the season.
Oprah's Mom Settles Clothes Call Lawsuit
Moms can be embarrassing. Even—or maybe especially—if you're Oprah Winfrey.
Luckily, the big O's mama is once again leaving the headline-grabbing to her daughter, thanks to the recent settlement of the lawsuit filed against her for failing to make good on a $155,547 debt at a Wisconsin clothing boutique.
Valentina Inc. filed suit against Vernita Lee in July 2008 after the Oprah-birther failed to make good on her minimum monthly payments. Attorneys for Lee played the blame game in their defense, saying the store was at fault for extending her a line of credit in the first place, what with her history of less than stellar repayment practices.
Still, the suit has now been settled and will remain sealed, giving some credence to the report that it was Oprah herself who stepped in to bail out her mother. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the store will receive a partial payment of what was owed.
"We're happy with what transpired," Valentina co-owner Tony Chirchirillo told the paper. "We can get on with our lives; they can get on with theirs."
A judge still needs to sign off on the secret settlement, and a hearing to do just that has been scheduled for Dec. 7.

Did you hear? Oprah's gonna be out of a job soon. And by soon, we mean in 22 months.
GMA Doesn't Want Adam Lambert's Sloppy Seconds...Cue The Early Show!
Apparently waking up with Glambert is hard to do.
After receiving more than 1,500 complaints from viewers shocked—just shocked!—over Adam Lambert's sexually charged antics at Sunday's American Music Awards, the Alphabet nets a.m. flagship has pulled the plug on tomorrow's planned performance by the American Idol star.
"Given Adam Lambert's controversial live performance on the AMAs we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning," ABC said in a statement.
The move was to quiet those offended types who apparently let their children watch television unsupervised after 10 p.m.—like the folks in the Parents Television Council who were among the first to sound off on Lambert's crotch-diving, male-on-male kissing performance.
But while ABC suddenly came a case of the family-friendlies, rival CBS had no qualms picking up the scraps. Just hours after GMA nixed Lambert, The Early Show announced he'd be stopping by their digs on Wednesday for a chat—among other things about his AMA antics, of course.
And what did Mr. "For Your Entertainment" have to say about the morning-show switcheroo?
Rob Flies Back to L.A. With Kristen
Glad our little travel-tip yesterday turned out to be true.
Robert Pattinson landed back in Los Angeles with GF Kristen Stewart yesterday after unwinding together all weekend in NYC.
Even People magazine has deets of Rob and Kristen full-on making out in public Friday night. Robsten doubters are you even out there still?
So can we get used to this new Robsten? Ya know, the same undercover lovers who try so hard to never be snapped in the same frame together...
This Just In: Chelsea Talks Toe Sucking, and Glee Will Suck Your Morning Away
Glee: Jenna Ushkowitz can sing! In tomorrow night's episode of Glee, the stutterer fibber you fans know as Tina will finally get her first solo, Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors," which is already making its way around the Internets, and we can't stop listening to it this morning. (Hear it above, and don't tell our bosses.) The episode also will feature Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious," John Lennon's "Imagine" and a cast mashup of Broadway's "Hair" with Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love." Anyone else hoping the last one is sung by Artie and Tina? In a hot tub?
Fringe: Our inside sources confirm that Fringe will be put on a temporary hiatus for seven weeks beginning Feb. 11. In its place, Fox will air the midseason drama Past Life.

Rihanna Sings Threesome, Avoids Going Naked on GMA
Rihanna almost brought a little too much to her TV concert comeback on Good Morning America.
Two day after performing solo at the American Music Awards, Rihanna made her much-anticipated way to the morning show's outdoor stage in NYC this morning to sing a whopping three tunes: "Wait Your Turn," "Russian Roulette," and fan (and remix) favorite "Umbrella."
But what about that slight lag between new besties Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts announcing Rihanna and the singer's appearance on the stage?
Two words: wardrobe malfunction.
"I'm a little too fat right now, my dress…the zip busted in the back," the svelte-as-always Rihanna explained. "They're like, 'A minute to live,' I'm like, oh my god! They wanted to stitch it up, but I couldn't."
But it wasn't all body talk. After performing her new single, "Wait Your Turn," the superstar paid her now usual lip service to the oh-so-perfect timing of her new album, Rated R.
"It came very natural, only because it was my place of peace, being in the studio, just venting," she said of the post-Chris Brown attack process of recording the album.
"It was the one place where I didn't feel judged or criticized, I just wanted to sit and make great music. Every emotion that I was going through at the time throughout making the record went into that album and you can hear it in the songs."
The album, a surefire No. 1 if ever there was one, was released yesterday.

Lady Gaga Scared of Sex and Alcohol but Not Carbs?
Lady Gaga is always singing about sex—so who would have guessed she's actually scared of it?
Yesterday, at the album release party for her Fame Monster, she told E! News that this record is all about her phobias.
"Fear of alcohol, fear of sex monster, fear of love monster, fear of myself monster," she explained.
One thing eager fans didn't have to worry about while waiting to get some time with Gaga? Going hungry...
One Last Shot of Taylor Lautner's Abs
Just when we thought it was safe to check out the newsstand and not have to see any more New Moon covers, Rolling Stone releases their special edition Taylor Lautner wet T-shirt contest issue.
Great timing, Rolling Stone. While some may still appreciate Taylor's striptease show, the rest of us already saw the goods plenty this past weekend. We've also reset our Twilight Countdown clocks and can't be bothered with any more New Moon promotion, especially when the interview is all about the gym and how boring Taylor is.
From now on, it's all Eclipse, all the time. See you in seven months, Tay-Tay! By then you'll even be of age, which will make this whole operation you got going on completely legal.
