After a myriad of unsubstantiated reports hit the press over the past couple weeks announcing that Audrina Patridge, of "The Hills" fame, and musician Ryan Cabrera had broken up, Audrina has finally confirmed that she and the musician are in fact still a couple. Audrina was a guest on late night talk show Lopez Tonight this past Tuesday and while addressing the stories she told host George Lopez, "We started reading all of these rumors and seeing it on TV that we broke up and we're sitting there and we just start laughing about it, like, "Wow, did we really break up?" That's not true." She then simply stated, "We're still together." Good news for fans who were hoping to catch a glimpse of the starlet on April 27th when her boyfriend performs aboard a boat cruise along New York's East River with our very own Dion Roy . Keep your eyes peeled she may end up out in the crowd after all. To find out more about the boat cruise click h...

There’s been a lot of hoopla over the “racy” performance from American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert at the American Music Awards on Sunday night. For those who don’t know (or don’t care), Lambert kissed another man on stage, as well as pushed a man’s head into his crotch – which eventually led to his appearance on Thursday’s “Good Morning America” to be cancelled. However, CBS’s “The Early Show” was quick to pick him up for their show tomorrow instead. A few questions lies here: did ABC just start up a PR firestorm by canceling Adam Lambert? Did GMA execs just vocalize their double standards of society’s take on homosexuality? No one was flipping out about Britney and Madonna kissing at the VMAs a few years back, but the minute a guy does it, it’s blasphemous? And isn't it a bit hard for ABC to swallow the fact that a rival network was so quick to embrace Adam Lambert? According to a mediabistro article, only 1,500 people called the FCC out of the 15 million v...
