Miranda Kerr Confirms She’s No Longer a Victoria’s Secret Angel
By Hallie Stephens | omg!
Miranda Kerr is officially a fallen Angel! Last week, rumors swirled that Victoria’s Secret had decided not to renew the brunette bombshell’s contract because she was “difficult” to work with and didn’t draw in as many sales as her fellow Angels.
But now the gorgeous model is clearing up the rumors and sharing her side of the story. In a recent interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Miranda confirmed that she is no longer committed to the lingerie company. The Victoria’s Secret veteran revealed that her Angel duties were too time-consuming and were taking precious time away from her 2-year-old son, Flynn, and her hunky Hollywood hubby, Orlando Bloom. She explained, “The thing is, I’ve been modeling since I was 13. I’m now entering a new phase in my life. I have felt this coming since my son was born and, after I became a mother, I realized I needed to prioritize my time.” She added, “I’m just not in a position to commit to a full contract at this time … It’s three months at a bare minimum.”
Still, the company's president and chief marketing officer Ed Razek told omg! last week that she will always be an Angel to him, and that he's "already invited her to walk the runway in this year's fashion show and, happily, she's agreed."
For now, we'll assume that Miranda is hanging up her Angel wings, but is she making a huge career misstep? Check out the vid to see how other Victoria's Secret Angel alums have found success after the catwalk!

Tom Cruise Divorce Quotes False, Actor Did Not Speak About Personal Life, Says Rep
By Taryn Ryder | omg!
Contrary to original reports, Tom Cruise has yet to talk about his divorce from Katie Holmes.
An interview Cruise did on German TV network ProSieben was picked up by the German tabloid Bunte, which then mixed "some real and some made up" quotes and attributed the answers to personal questions, a rep for Cruise tells omg!.
"The entire interview was about his career. He was not asked any personal questions," continues Cruise's rep.
The 50-year-old actor, who is currently promoting "Oblivion" (out April 19), was more than happy to discuss his film and some great memories he had while shooting in Iceland.
"For my 50th birthday [the director] Joe and the studio gave me a bubble bike," Cruise said on ProSieben. "It was so amazing ... I was allowed to ride it in areas where you are no longer allowed to drive. [Iceland] is a beautiful country."
A few things initially reported, Cruise actually did say, including: "It's great to be 50 … I enjoy it." The actor also revealed he would be OK if kids Suri, Connor, or Isabella expressed interest in acting since they have grown up around movie sets.
However, the quote that got the most pickup on Tuesday was when Cruise allegedly opened up about his divorce for the first time.
"I did not expect that," the actor was quoted as saying, along with: "Life is a challenge…To be 50 and have experiences and think you have everything under control, and then it hits you — that's what life is … Life is tragicomic. You need a certain sense of humor."
These false quotes made headlines, not only on omg!, but also on E!, USA Today, The Huffington Post, Extra, and The Hollywood Reporter (just to name a few).
The ProSieben interviewer, Steven Gaetjen, backs up Cruise's rep, telling People that he never asked Cruise about Holmes or the divorce.

Move over, swatting … there's a new prank in Hollywood, but this one is much more serious.
A dozen celebrities and politicians, including Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Michelle Obama, Ashton Kutcher, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sarah Palin, Hulk Hogan, and Mel Gibson, all recently had what appears to be their personal financial information hacked from credit agencies and banks, and published online in a cyber-crime called "doxxing."
The website (which omg! has viewed but will not name or link to) has posted documents including what very much appears to be these very public figures' social security numbers, mortgage amounts, credit card information, car loan information, and important banking statements. Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Eric Holder, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were also victims, but apparently not as much of their financial information was obtained. omg! has looked through the site extensively and while we can't verify the documents' accuracy, the documents appear to be very real.
omg! spoke with the LAPD and FBI, both of which are on the case, but neither could provide many details at this time as the investigation is ongoing, although the FBI did confirm that it's "aware of the website in question."
The FBI also explained that this latest hoax is called "doxxing," which means "the process of obtaining or deducing information about a person based on a limited set of initial information," and that the bureau has had experience dealing with it before.
Ironically, in addition to the celebrities and politicians who were targeted, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck and FBI Director Robert Mueller were also victims.
The LAPD issued the following statement Monday evening: "LAPD detectives are investigating the recent disclosure of Chief Beck's personal information. Apparently this is not necessarily a hacking incident. It is called 'Doxxing' ... This has happened to the Chief on two other occasions prior to this in a similar nature post Occupy LA. We are not at liberty to discuss the others mentioned in the web post. There will be no further comments or press conference on this matter."
Kutcher and the Kardashian-Jenner family were also the victims in the past several months of "swatting," which involves tricking emergency personnel by making a false report, usually via a 911 call.
A 12-year-old boy has claimed responsibility for the swatting incident involving Kutcher. Last October, he called 911 and claimed people inside the home of the "Two and a Half Men" star had guns and explosives, which, of course, was not true. The same boy was also charged with swatting Justin Bieber, but TMZ reports that charges will likely be dropped when he is sentenced, which is expected to happen soon.

'America's Got Talent': Heidi Klum Poised to Become 4th Judge
By Lesley Goldberg | The Hollywood Reporter
Heidi Klum is poised to become America's Got Talent fourth judge.
The Project Runway host/judge will officially be named to the bench of NBC's summer reality competition series on Monday, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
As first reported by TMZ, Klum will join Howard Stern, Howie Mandel and new addition Mel B of the Spice Girls on the panel.
The former model earned an Emmy nomination in 2008 for her role on Lifetime's Project Runway, which she also executive produces. In addition, Klum has served as host of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show a number of times. She's also hosted the German incarnation of Project Runway since 2006.
Mel B joined the series in February, replacing Sharon Osbourne, who announced her departure from the talent show in August, claiming that NBC fired her son Jack Osbourne from its competition entry Stars Earn Stripes after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. NBC refuted that claim.
Klum's addition marks the first time AGT has featured a four-judge panel. Klum is repped by WME.

Rihanna bloody knee: RiRi attacked at club
Celebrity News
Rihanna debuted a bloody knee in London after someone allegedly threw a bottle at her and she scraped her knee trying to avoid it. On Feb. 17, TMZ reported that Rihanna was in town for fashion week and was having a nice night out as a club called "The Box." Apparently someone had a major problem with her and tried to attack her.
"Someone threw a bottle of Lucozade (a UK energy drink) in her direction. The bottle didn't connect, but Rihanna allegedly scraped her knee during the commotion when she brushed up against a metal shop grate," TMZ reported.
Rihanna's bloody knee made headline celebrity news back in The States, and many of her fans are outraged that someone tried to harm her. According to the report, her "attacker" was yelling all kinds of things at her, mainly about her dating Chris Brown. It is unknown exactly what was said, but it is safe to assume that the person did not approve of Rihanna's reconciliation with C Breezy.
Rihanna and Chris Brown made their relationship "official" at the Grammy Awards last weekend. The on-again couple sat together in the audience, cuddled, and even expressed some PDA.
A bloody knee won't stop Rihanna from living her life. The scrape didn't look that bad and she's expected to be just fine.
