Snooki from the reality television show Jersey Shore got big praise from celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton on New Years Day. Why was he giving her kudos and more free publicity?

Was divorce the New Years Resolution for Katy Perry and Russell Brand?
Katy Perry and Russell Brand Just when we were all hoping that humanitarian actor Russell Brand and green celebrity songstress Katy Perry could reconcile some difficulties in their spicy marriage, and maybe even found the charity that the couple had hoped to establish together, word comes from TMZ that the couple has formally split.
