There have been rumors that Kelly and Carrie have been feuding for years because of their respective statuses on ‘American Idol’. Kelly says there is no feud and that she doesn’t even know Carrie.  “People always pit us together and we don’t even know each other well enough to be, like we’ve run into each other a handful of times. There’s not beef between us, there’s well, nothing between us. We’ve literally run into each other a few times.”

 Jelly Roll says he’s not a beer drinker. Whiskey Riff quotes him as saying, “The funny thing about this is I’ve just never drank a beer. I’ve always looked at beer as men’s version of wine. It’s kind of like something, you know, girls would do. When a dude’s like oh I drank 10 beers I’m like “Or you could’ve drank 3 shots like a real man.”

The Daily Star says 92 year-old William Shatner allegedly wants to get a facelift because he wants to look younger for his 64-year-old wife, Elizabeth. A source says, “He still thinks of himself as a suave ladies man. The only woman he’s interested in is Elizabeth. He wants to look nice and youthful for her”.
