" I left Nickelodeon recently because I needed to move forward with my life," she wrote on Reddit. "I don't believe people should attack me because their image of me is destroyed after I post a harmless, sultry photo." Nearly two weeks after  Nickelodeon canceled  Sam & Cat  — and  Ariana Grande  posted a  lengthy statement on Facebook  — co-star  Jennette McCurdy  has finally spoken about the end of the  Dan Schneider  comedy. In contrast to Grande's thoughts of gratitude to the cast (without mentioning McCurdy directly), crew and fans, and her explanation for how she looked up to her onscreen character as a role model, McCurdy's reflection, posted to Reddit on Thursday, reads more as a defense. In fact, her opening lines read, "I am not a role model. I don't claim to be, I don't try to be, and I don't want to be." "This world is one seemingly most keen on judgment and negativity, despit...

Lady Gaga had the best accessory for her cover shoot for Harper's Bazaar's latest issue. And we don't mean her pink bra, although we do enjoy that. The 28-year-old pop star holds her French Bulldog Asia as she posed for former  Vogue  editor Carine Roitfeld's project titled  Icons . Gaga looks chic and sexy donning a classic pink Chanel suit featuring a mini-skirt, bra top, matching hat and fishnet stockings over her legs and torso. While we've seen Lady Gaga with no makeup before, here we see her with barely any. Save for a long blonde wig, she's pretty close to natural. Mother Monster also got to sit down with head of French fashion house Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, and the pair bonded over their pampered pets. The twosome also talked fashion, with the famed, 80-year-old Chanel and Fendi designer asking the stylish superstar what her next fashion "trip" is. Gaga responded, "I’ve been recently enjoying looking far and wide for the be...

Justin Bieber joined the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kris Jenner for Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci's birthday bash in Ibiza, Spain on Friday. Reports of fire and brimstone raining down on Ibiza have not been confirmed. The 20-year-old singer shared a series of pictures showing off the douchepocalyptic night out, including one with Kim Kardashian and two with Kendall Jenner. "@kimkardashian @kendalljenner @krisjenner celebrating @riccardotisci17 birthday," Justin wrote, posing with Kardashian, Kris, Kendall, and the man of the hour. He captioned the snap of the group together simply: "Celebrate." Leonardo DiCaprio was celebrating a few nights earlier in Ibiza during the Orlando Bloom-Justin Bieber fight. Unfortunately, those two weren't there this time. Just Kim Kardashian, clad in diamond accessories, and Kendall, who shared a picture of Bieber and his friend Khalil giving her kisses on both cheeks. The 18-year-old model ...

Jennette McCurdy knows what her assets are and she is not afraid of showing them off. The Sam & Cat  actress has posted a half-naked photo of herself on social media, but this time, her risqué photos making it to the public sphere was her choice. McCurdy is a talented actress and obviously so much more than just her physical appearance, but she seems to understand not all of her fans are the Nickelodeon crowd. So are the photos going too far, especially for an actress with a young fan base? Miley Cyrus has gone through the same thing. As an actress who got her start on Disney, her overtly-sexual attitude has worried some parents — as well as fellow role models. McCurdy took to Reddit on Thursday, posting a blog called "I am not a role model." "With the growing I've done, I realize that to attempt to live up to the idea of being a role model is to set myself up for foregone failure," she wrote. "Sure, I've made some mistakes,...

Will the $1 million salary request spell the end of  The Big  Bang Theory ? The Big Bang Theory  fans may need to start worrying about the future of the show. The cast has been in contract negotiations, and apparently things are not going well. According to Deadline, Warner Bros. has canceled the table read for the first episode of Season 8, originally scheduled for Thursday, July 31. All five original cast members are apparently still without contracts, but are in continued negotiations. "Due to ongoing contract negotiations, production on  The Big Bang Theory  — which was originally scheduled to begin today — has been postponed," Warner Bros. told Deadline in a statement. Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are reportedly asking for $1 million an episode (or more) — the same amount paid to the  Friends  cast in their last season. Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik both ne...

It is all over for Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult. A few days after sources claimed Hoult dumped Lawrence due to her inflated ego, E! News confirms that the actor and actress have broken up, writing that the split "was very amicable." As is so often the case when celebrities date, an insider blames work schedules for the demise of this relationship. "They spent a lot of time apart because of work and it was difficult on their relationship," the source says of Lawrence and Hoult. The X-Men co-star dated throughout most of 2012, broke up and then got back together in the summer of 2013. J. Law recently explained to Marie Claire that she and Hoult had a very laid back relationship. "When we're busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other," Lawrence said a few weeks ago. "Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn't text back or call. Life's super busy. Obviously you know what they're doing, and yo...

The fallout from the  Justin Bieber-Orlando Bloom fight  gets more hilarious by the day. As you may know, Justin has been taunting Bloom on Instagram, posting and deleting a photo of Bloom appearing to be in tears, as well as a shot of Bloom's ex-wife Miranda Kerr. It was originally thought that this was Bieber's way of venting his frustration at having been swung on and humiliated in front of a star-studded crowd in Ibiza. Now, sources tell TMZ that - despite having not thrown a punch - Bieber thinks he "won" the fight, and his endless online needling of Bloom is his way of reminding the public how "hard" he is. According to Justn's posse, Bieber didn't even recognize Bloom when he attempted to shake his hand, and was confused and pissed when Bloom rebuffed him.Bieber now believes that the general public thinks he came out on top in the confrontation, and he's delusionally basking in his victory. Insiders say Justin is loving eve...
