There's no official word on when Bruce Jenner's sex change operation might take place, but several sources have claimed the former Olympian is planning to go under the knife this summer.
Now, Radar Online is reporting that once the surgery is complete, Bruce plans to share his new identity with the world in a memorable way - by competing on Dancing With the Stars!
"Bruce wants his debut as a woman to be big, and there is no better platform than going on Dancing With the Stars," one source claims. "He's taking a cue from Chaz Bono. Bruce was so impressed with how he handled himself on that show."
While it's true that Chaz Bono competed on DWTS not long after undergoing gender reassignment, we'd still encourage you to take the Bruce rumor with a barrel of salt.
For one thing, Chaz wasn't 65 years old. Yes, at one point, Bruce was one of the world's greatest athletes, but that was a long, long time ago.
We're not sure if DWTS producers would accept any contestants in their mid-to-late 60s who had just undergone major surgery, even if they were a guaranteed ratings boon like Bruce would be.
For both of those reasons, we can't imagine that he would make the big reveal on DWTS. After all, the guy's been learning from master media manipulator Kris Jenner for decades now.
We're not saying Bruce will never compete on DWTS; just don't expect it to happen soon.
Suge Knight's bail was set at $25 million after prosecutors made the case that he is dangerous, and has been well before he killed a man in a hit and run.
Calling him a "prolific and unrepentant criminal," prosecutor Cynthia Barnes filed a mountain of paperwork this week to support her position on the matter.
Barnes claims he was angry when he over and killed Terry Carter, and a look at the shocking Suge Knight hit and run video does little to dispel that theory.
She claims he was upset about not receiving any money for his likeness that was used in Dr. Dre's movie, Straight Outta Compton, and flew into a rage.
One that isn't even that uncommon for Suge and his "shameless life of crime."
Her argument, heard Friday morning in a Los Angeles courtroom, cited a staggering 31 incidents in the last decade in which Knight was linked to violence.
She also submitted more than two dozen police reports that link Suge to extortion, robbery, assault, battery, witness intimidation and who knows what else.
Oh, and Barnes says Suge has laundered more than $10 million since 2002.
Knight's attorney, Matt Fletcher, countered that the D.A. must watch Empire online, and is trying to play up the negative public perception of Knight.
Yes, he liked Suge to Lucious Lyon, who was arrested on the Empire finale.
Fletcher also pointed the finger at Cle "Bone" Sloan, one of the men Knight ran over, referencing Bone's statement to police that he "f--ked Suge up."
Knight is in poor health, he says, and complains about living in solitary with no hot water, no blanket and only sporadic showers. Still, back he goes for now.
If you feel like the drama involving Lisa Rinna and the Richards sisters has been going on forever, you're not alone.
Lisa Rinna feels that way too, but for some reason, she can't stop talking about it!
It's been more than two weeks since the Lisa vs.Kim Richards brawl first aired (and it's been several months since it actually happened), but Lisa took to her Bravo blog yet again today to clear things for roughly the 4 billionth time.
Despite having already made her thoughts on that topic quite clear (via an airborne glass of wine) Lisa chose to write about it again today:
"Kim has still not apologized for her uncalled for behavior toward my husband," Lisa writes. "I do still have a lot to process and a lot has been left unresolved."
Despite her obvious ill will toward Kim, Lisa says she still wants to assist the other women in staging an intervention for her. She also feels however, that everyone should stop meddling in Kim and Kyle's lives.
Needless to say, Lisa is a bit...conflicted. Go to her Bravo blog to see if you can make more sense of it than we could.
Kim wraps things up by promising that the "drama continues" on the upcoming reunion show that "you've heard so much about." Sounds like everyone should wear their finest wine-proof attire.
Brandi's back, and boozy as ever. Spoiler alert: At some point this season, she smacks Lisa Vanderpump. You'd HAVE to be drunk to assault such a classy lady!
The climate may be nicer in Beverly Hills, but we're guessing there are times when the SoCal drama makes Yolanda long for life back home in the Netherlands.
Not only did Eileen win a Daytime Emmy for her work on Days of Our Lives, she wrote several mystery in the early 2000s. She'll pull down a whopping $750,000 for her first season as a Housewife.
But Eileen may have some competition in the Most Accomplished Housewife category. Lisa also appeared on Days of Our Lives, she had a starring role on Melrose Place, and she's married to mad Men actor Harry Hamlin. It begs the question - what's she doing reality TV for?
Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers are very much back together, but his health prospects are much more up in the air than their romantic status.
The Real Housewives of Orange County stars have been living together as Brooks battles cancer, but he tells Radar that the arduous battle continues.
According to Brooks, chemotherapy treatments to treat his “aggressive” cancer (Stage 3 Non-Hodgkins lymphoma) don’t seem to be having any effect.
“I am sick,” Ayers, who has battled the illness since 2013, admitted. “I do feel bad, but it’s mind over matter a lot of times. You gotta stay the course.”
Six months of chemotherapy and a largely liquid-based diet later, Gunvalson's live-in boyfriend says he was hoping things would have improved by now.
“When the test results came back, the numbers haven’t changed substantially,” he revealed. “They haven’t gotten worse, but they haven’t gotten better."
"That was kind of disheartening, to be honest with you.”
Ayers says he’s faced with three options, starting with an “aggressive form of chemotherapy” that would mean 3-4 days a week of treatment for months.
It's that, an experimental stem cell transplant, or a holistic approach, which one of their Real Housewives of Orange County co-stars is helping him with.
“Shannon Beador’s been very much in our corner, putting us in contact with a lot of unbelievable world-renowned holistic physicians,” he said.
“We’re exploring that and with that would come no chemo. It would be addressing and taking what I’ve been doing with the holistic diet and an infrared sauna.”
“It’s just assessing what my mentality, my body responds to and it’s been quite a daunting mental task,” the reality star admits, but he still has Vicki.
That, more than anything, gets him through the day these days.
“She keeps me up and going and it’s been good rather than just routine, monotonous life. That’s not what we’re about. So it’s been very good from that perspective.”
He says he will be back on the show, and is excited for it. Why?
“At the end of the day, we want to show that you don’t have to lay down and let this disease or the normal course of what we think cancer can do take you down."
“You can continue to have a life and you can continue to be strong mentally and the things that we can control, we can control. That’s what we’re doing.”
Here's wishing Brooks the best as he fights the good fight.
If you read The Bachelorette spoilers, you've likely heard that the dueling Bachelorette battle between Kaitlyn Bristowe and Britt Nilsson will be short lived.
A victor has reportedly emerged already, thanks to a vote among the guys, and while the loser still has a "role" this season, The Bachelorette is one woman.
Follow the links to learn whether Kaitlyn Bristowe or Britt Nilsson becomes star of The Bachelorette Season 11, then wrap your head around this rumor:
Kaitlyn, who made it to the final three on Chris Soules' journey for love, was allegedly involved in a serious relationship while she filmed The Bachelor.
Moreover, she reportedly returned to said boyfriend before filming The Bachelorette!
According to Star, Kaitlyn has been dating a boyfriend back home, a firefighter named Trevor Partlo, for a year now. A friend of the couple tells the magazine.
“She loves being in the spotlight, and Trevor knows it,” the friend says.
“When she signed on to The Bachelor, Trevor said, ‘She’s just doing it to get famous. It doesn’t mean anything. She’ll come back and it’ll be life as normal.'”
When Kaitlyn, who was one of Soules’ three finalists, returned home, “she told Trevor, ‘The whole thing was a joke - I only saw Chris, like, nine times.'”
However, she told another friend "she and Chris had been ‘intimate.'”
Now that the hilarious Vancouver dance instructor is co-starring on The Bachelorette, that could be the end of things with Trevor, the insider speculates.
With 25 men now pursuing her, not just Soules, one would imagine.
“I know [she] told Trevor in the past that she loves him,” the friend adds of Kaitlyn Bristowe. “She’s a free spirit, but she can also be very manipulative."
So she's the who's not there for the right reasons? What a twist!
Says the source supposedly close to Trevor: "I have no doubt that actually finding a husband on The Bachelorette will be the last thing on her mind.”
Kaitlyn Bristowe will be The Bachelorette for 2015, and it's not hard to see why she got so far on Chris Soules' season, or picked for the starring role.
So is there any chance this rumor could be true? Bachelor Nation has rarely been so united in its love for a contestant/star as we've seen with Kaitlyn.
Part of that affection stemmed from how genuinely brokenhearted when Chris cut her loose. She was either very serious or a very, very good actress.
Going on the show for the fame, or just the experience, is certainly part of it for anyone, but not being in it for love at all? Her fans would be devastated.
Given that it's Star, we don't buy it yet. What about you? Discuss ...
Now, more leaks from the same hearing reveal that Kate has so little faith in Jon Gosselin's parenting abilities that she would rather leave her six youngest children under the care of a teenage babysitter for a week than with their father.
"Recently, Mother traveled with the two older children for six days and left the six younger in the care of a 19-year-old babysitter," claimed attorneys for Jon.
"Father was available, however, Mother refused to allow children to stay with Father and/or allow Father to stay in her home with her children."
To make matters worse, Kate reportedly instructed the sitter to forbid the kids from having any contact with Jon:
"Mother has also instructed her babysitters that they are not to contact Father and/or accept phone calls from Father."
As we've previously reported, Kate has instructed her nannies to spy on her ex and listen in on phone calls between Jon and her kids. There's no word on if the anonymous 19-year-old received such instructions.
All of this is unlikely to result in any charges against Kate or any changes in her custody arrangement. It's just further proof that Kate is a really, really bad mom.
Recently, Kim Kardashian shared a heartwarming photo of when she first met Kanye West. (Well, it's heartwarming if you ignore the fact that they were both dating other people at the time.)
Now, it seems Kim's interest in Kanye's past might not have ended on Throwback Thursday.
OK! magazine is claiming that Kim suspects Kanye might have knocked up one of his many one-night stands during his wild single days.
"Kanye glosses over his dirty-dog past, but he has a long list of former conquests - including groupies, exotic dancers, students, video vixens and cocktail waitresses," a source tells the tabloid.
"Kim is obsessed with the idea that there's a child out there that will come after his fortune."
At first, this sounds like the typical tabloid BS, but it makes sense that the topics of babies and Kanye's past would be on Kim's mind a lot these days.
For one thing, Kim is trying to get pregnant and sharing every detail of her efforts with her family, friends, fans...pretty much anyone willing to listen.
Given his impulsive nature and the large chunk of his life in which he was rich, famous and single we have little doubt that at some point, some embarrassing secrets about Kanye's past will emerge.
We doubt it'll be anything as severe as a love child, but hey, look on the bright side, Kim - at least if if happens, you'll have that sibling for North that you've been wanting!
A.J. Pero, the lead drummer for rock band Twisted Sister, was found dead on Friday in Poughkeepsie, New York.
He was 55 years old.
According to multiple outlets, Pero was found unresponsive on the group’s tour bus and pronounced dead soon afterward at a nearby hospital.
It is believed he passed away from a heart attack.
“The members of Twisted Sister are profoundly saddened to announce the untimely passing of our brother, AJ Pero,” the group announced on Facebook this afternoon. “The band, crew and most importantly the family of AJ Pero thank you for your thoughts and prayers at this time."
Pero joined Twisted Sister in 1982; departed the band in 1986; and returned in 1997.
He played on all but one of the beloved hair metal band’s studio albums.
Via statement, singer Dee Snider referred to Pero as “the final piece in a band that would become an international sensation, adding:
"His sledgehammer assault on the drums helped drive Twisted Sister and I to greatness, and inspired me to rock every single show. My heart breaks knowing I will never feel the power of his beat behind me, or turn to see his face smiling broadly from the sheer joy he got from doing what he loved.”
ESPN's Stuart Scott (1965-2015) will forever be missed. The beloved anchor and personality passed away after a long battle with cancer in January at the age of 49.
Charmayne Maxwell was a Grammy-nominated singer who tragically died at the age of 46. According to report, she passed away from wounds suffered after accidently cutting herself at home.
In the days following his arrest, those who knew Durst best - or simply encountered him during the decades-long period in which he somehow managed to avoid prosecution - have come forward with strange stories of the real estate heir's troubling behavior.
Earlier this week, Douglas Durst stated that he believes his brother killed seven pet dogs as "practice" before allegedly murdering his wife Kathleen McCormack in 1982.
Today, Durst has been accused of another disturbing act of animal mutilation by the former judge who presided over the 2003 trial in which Durst was acquitted of the murder of Morris Black.
"It was June 29, 2006," Criss tells the newspaper. "I came home from work around 5 pm, and you can imagine how hot it was. I saw something on the walk that leads straight to my front door.
"It was a little gray cat that had been cut behind the shoulders. It was a head with its two front legs...It was not just thrown there, it was placed there.
"I believe it was Robert Durst. I know this guy had a history of cutting up his dogs."
Criss says she first ran inside to make sure that Durst had not harmed her dogs. She then called local police, who performed several tests, but were unable to prove that Durst had killed the cat.
Criss says she believes Durst left the head as revenge for her testifying against him at his parole hearing.
Though he has yet to be convicted of a murder, Criss says that she believes "Robert Durst is a serial killer."
Brandy Norwood hit a car in front of her by failing to brake in time, killing the driver in front of her. Brandy took full responsibility for the accident, but was never charged.
Robert Blake was arrested and tried for killing his wife, Bonnie Lee Bakley. He was found innocent, but was helpd liable for her death in a civil suit.
So SNOOP wasn't the one who pulled the trigger, but his bodyguard was. He was still arrested in the death of a rival gang member and represented by Johnnie Cochran.
Rebecca Gayheart struck and killed a boy in a crosswalk when she didn't want to stop and wait behind the line of cars who'd stopped to let the boy cross the street.

Brown has been in a medically induced coma ever since, and the 22-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston has shown no signs of improvement.
Talk of removing Bobbi Kristina from life support began several weeks ago, but her father, Bobby Brown, has reportedly continued to hold out hope that she'll regain consciousness.
This week, the Brown family gathered to in Atlanta to discuss treatment options and make a final decision regarding Bobbi Kristina's life support.
Now it looks as though the difficult choice won't be left up to the family, as sources say Bobbi Kristina is currently being moved to a rehab or hospice facility in accordance with "hospital policy."
"The hospital can hold you for so long," a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. "At that point you have to be moved to a different facility.
"She is not being rehabbed. She is mostly being moved due to hospital policy."
Despite the move, which means that Bobbi Kristina may not receive the sort of intensive care she's been getting up to this point, her family reportedly remains hopeful.
"The family is hoping for improvements in Bobbi Kristina's condition, but she remains in a coma," says one insider.
We'll have updates on Bobbi Kristina's condition as more updates become available.
Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon were married, but reportedly estranged at the time of her tragic hospitalization. We hope she is able to beat the odds and recover.
After going back five years during the opening hour of a moving finale, viewers jumped ahead to 2020, as Glee closed out its impressive run by giving us a look at where various characters ended up once their days in New Directions were truly over.
Kurt and Blaine were happily living in New York City, being totally fabulous and starring at Lincoln Center in the first-ever LGBT take on Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Rachel volunteered to serve as the couple’s surrogate… and she also won a Tony Award. In her acceptance speech, Rachel thanked her husband (Jessie St. James), along with Mr. Schuester, telling the latter:
“Dreams really do come true.”
Mercedes remained very successful, while Sam was happily heading up the New Directions (merely one of four glee clubs at the new-and-improved, arts-based McKinley). He had also found another new girlfriend.
Tina and Artie were contentedly coupled up and as cute as ever.
Sue was elected for a second term as Jeb Bush’s Vice President, with Becky working as a Secret Service agent and with many track suits bearing the letters VPOTUS.
Sue returned to McKinley to close out the finale in order to dedicate the Finn Hudson Auditorium and to deliver an emotional speech about how she once thought glee club was silly.
However: "What I finally realized [is] it takes a lot of bravery to look around you and see the world not as it is, but as it should be: A world where the quarterback becomes best friends with the gay kid, and the girl with the big nose ends up on Broadway.
Glee is about imagining a world like that and finding the courage to open up your heart and sing about it. That's what glee club is. And for the longest time I thought that was silly. And now I think it's just about the bravest thing that anyone can do."
Remember when Santana, Mercedes, Brittany and Sugar formed their own group, the Trouble Tones? This "Rumour Has It/Someone Like You" mashup was the highlight of their time together
Best Glee song of all-time? "The Scientist" featured the show's four main couples breaking up: Finchel, Klaine, Brittana, and Wemma all split. Our hearts split along with them.
Santana Lopez departed life in Louisville for the bright lights of The Big Apple... and showed up as a legit "Girl on Fire." Naya Rivera for all the wins!
The finale concluded with a buoyant, beautiful rendition of "I Lived,” one that featured nearly all the key players and one whose lyrics represented the show at its best:
I did it all/I owned every second that this world could give/I saw so many places, the things that I did/With every broken bone, I swear I lived.
But nothing can come between a Duggar and having a huge family, of course, and now it looks as though Jessa and Ben have decided to take matters into their own hands. Literally:
The above photo surfaced today on a Facebook page devoted to Duggar family news.
It looks like it's an outtake from a photoshoot for Jessa and Ben's official announcement. This being 2015, of course, someone seems to have gotten a hold of an unused pic and broken the big news a little early.
Rumors that Jessa is pregnant have been circulating since the day that she and Ben got married, but this time, it looks like we have reason to believe that the reports are true.
We're sure the Seewalds are less than thrilled with the way that the news went public, but the important thing is, there's a new Duggar on the way!

Scott was escorted to his room, where he fell asleep and missed his checkout time and his flight to Chicago later that day.
Not surprisingly, the incident made Scott realize the severity of his drinking problem, and just days later, he booked a room at the Rhythmia Life Advancement Center - a non-traditional addiction treatment facility in Costa Rica.
The center specializes in Iboga therapy, in which patients consume all-natural hallucinogens and go on supervised "trips" that are intended to help them overcome their addictions.
Sadly, it looks as though even such an unusual treatment method couldn't keep Scott's attention, as TMZ is reporting that Kourtney Kardashian's baby daddy will be back in LA on Monday.
Insiders say Scott actually had a flight home booked for today, but he had a last-second change of heart and decided to stay at the facility a bit longer.
Even so, he's falling well short of the recommended 21-day treatment plan.
His latest brief stint came last summer after Scott was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. Disick admits that he could've died from the incident and it inspired him to seek help, but he lasted just one day in rehab.
There is no word on whether or not Scott plans to pursue a different course of treatment, but we imagine the mother of his three children will strongly encourage him to do so.
Scott ragging on Kim might be the best part of the Kardashian reality shows. Every time she acts like it's the first time she's ever been put in her place.
Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr are just getting started.
The country music superstar exchanged vows with his girlfriend on Saturday in Mexico, sources confirm to Us Weekly.
"This is the best day ever. I've got my girl here, my friends, my family - it's the best day ever!" Aldean told the tabloid, while Kerr added via statement:
"Today has been the best day of my life. I feel like the luckiest woman to have been able to marry my best friend."
Aldean was caught cheating on his wife with Kerr, a former American Idol contestant, in October of 2012 when photographers snapped the two kissing at a bar.
The artist quickly acknowledged the affair and apologized, though he and Jessia Ussery filed for divorce in April of the following year.
He then proposed to Kerr in August of 2014 following two years of dating.
Aldean and Kerr were feted this weekend by family and friends, including Duck Dynasty star Willie Robertson and Aldean's daughters, Keeley, 12, and Kendyl, 7, from his previous marriage.
Chad Michael Murray and Sarah Roemer are married, having tied the knot in secret! They're also expecting their first child! Talk about a two-for-one surprise!
Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried gave The Bachelorette a rare love story to celebrate, making it official 18 months after getting engaged on the show!
Lisa Colagrossi, a 49-year-old New York TV news reporter for WABC, has died after suffering a brain hemorrhage while covering a story on Thursday.
The veteran TV news reporter and anchor was remembered for her professionalism, compassion and reliable reporting after her death in NYC.
Fans and colleagues started sharing tributes within hours of the news. Even her hockey team, the New York Rangers, shared condolences on Twitter.
To them, the death of a morning news fixture felt like losing a loved one, many said, a testament to the role of local news in an age of global media.
Her employer, WABC said in a statement that "Thursday seemed like just another morning, with Lisa Colagrossi doing what she did so well, reporting live."
"She was an amazing reporter, committed to Eyewitness News. She was dedicated to telling a story with honesty, a working woman, a hockey mom."
"She was gutsy and fearless. We here at Eyewitness News are still in shock and we're trying to cope with the loss of someone we loved and valued."
It's what New York came to know and expect from Lisa Colagrossi: "authentic, steady, reassuring reporting," the station continued of "the ultimate pro."
Journalist Colagrossi, they said, could seamlessly "go from tackling crimes to financial news; Lisa could find humor even at the expense of herself."
"She covered some of the biggest stories in the Tri-State for almost 14 years. She started working at WABC the Sunday after the World Trade Center disaster."
Like most journalists, she made a few stops on her way to New York, starting in her native Cleveland before moving onto Alabama, West Virginia and Orlando.
In a news town that's notoriously tough to break into, Colagrossi "out-hustled other New York reporters from the very beginning," anchor Lori Stokes said.
"It's hard to imagine mornings without Lisa. We here at Eyewitness News are still in shock and we're trying to cope with the loss of someone we loved and valued."
ESPN's Stuart Scott (1965-2015) will forever be missed. The beloved anchor and personality passed away after a long battle with cancer in January at the age of 49.
Charmayne Maxwell was a Grammy-nominated singer who tragically died at the age of 46. According to report, she passed away from wounds suffered after accidently cutting herself at home.
Bobbi Kristina Brown's family has given her every chance to battle for her life since she nearly drowned and was placed in a medically induced coma January 31.
Will it be enough? Could time, prayer and sheer will help her overcome long odds and make a recovery? So far, she has yet to show many signs of progress.
At this point, "reality is really sinking in," a family source tells People.
"He really thought that she'd be better by now, that there would be some change ... there hasn't been any sign of improvement since this happened."
"We spent the first month in shock, you know? Like, 'Oh my God, I can't believe that this happened.' But now we've had a lot of time to get used to it."
While the 46-year-old singer was trying to keep "as positive as possible" about his only daughter with the late Whitney Houston, "It has gotten harder."
Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon were married, but reportedly estranged at the time of her tragic hospitalization. We hope she is able to beat the odds and recover.
The source also admits that while the "family doesn't always see eye-to-eye," it's clear that Bobby Brown is in charge of what happens to his daughter.
"You can't tell Bobby what to do, and he is in charge. We are just letting him do what he wants. He's going to give her every chance to fight for her life."
The source does admit that Pat Houston, Bobbi Kristina's aunt, "is the only one who is standing up to Bobby and they're not happy with each other."
Bobbi's cousin Jerod Brown has accused Pat of nefarious behavior, but has been widely discredited by other insiders within the Brown and Houston families.
Another source counters that while "Bobby is the decision maker," Pat "has been by Bobbi Kristina's side this whole time and is not butting heads with Bobby."
"Pat will support any decisions that Bobby makes about his daughter."
As for rumors that a decision on whether to take Bobbi Kristina off life support would be made this week, those appears to be erroneous once again.
Bobbi Kristina Brown and Whitney Houston together, before the former passed away in 2012. We wish their family members the best in this difficult, tragic time.
Whitney Houston used to be a major star. She may have had the best voice on the planet. These days? She's a sad, seemingly unhealthy version of herself.
Let there be no doubt: this is the best rendition of The Star Spangled Banner in the history of professional sports. Take in Whitney Houston's masterpiece now.
The night before she passed away, Whitney Houston went out with friends in Los Angeles. This, therefore, will forever be known as her final singing performance.
Some couples, in Hollywood or the "real" world, are meant to be together.
On the flip side, other pairings simply make no darn sense whatsoever.
As celebrity gossip publications love to say, stars are JUST like us, and that means at times being attracted to the wrong people, or at least unlikely ones.
Here are 17 cases where that was undeniably true ...
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore shocked the world when they went public with their relationship. They shocked us even further by discussing their very interesting and involved family dynamics with her ex Bruce Willis.
Jessica Simpson and John Mayer actually look great together, but she's way not cerebral enough for him. He once said she was addictive, like "crack cocaine."
The ultimate in WTF, Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney seem like complete opposites, but if opposites really DO attract then maybe that explains this totally weird coupling.
Now THIS is a weird May-December romance that kind of grosses us out. (At least Courtney Stodden has that whole "attention whore" thing going for her...) Mary-Kate Olsen is engaged to Olivier Sarkozy which just SCREAMS "Daddy Issues."
It's just human nature sometimes. We can totally relate.
Who's to say what attracts people to each other? Primal instinct? Money? Fame? Whatever it is, when you're fixated on someone, no one can stop it.
Inexplicable romantic urges are as old as time, and not unique to celebrity culture, but you do wonder if any of these duos would connect as non-celebs.
Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio make for perhaps the most obvious, recent example. No way those two are actually dating, we thought. We were wrong.
Of course, some seemingly unorthodox pairings go on to prove us wrong. Whatever you think of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, they make it work.
When those two got together, we were as skeptical as anyone, despite their mutual adoration for themselves, their looks, and doing anything to get attention.
Now, they're married with a little girl. They clearly love each other as much as they love to tweet photos of Kim Kardashian nude. Who are we to judge?!
Others aren't so lucky or long-lasting. Some of the relationships we've seen come and go are pretty bizarre, and not just because of things like age differences.
Scratch your heads along with us in the gallery above.
In one of the commercials for his Comedy Central Roast, Justin Bieber gets egged, mocking the incident from last year in which he actually did throw eggs at his neighbor's house.
But the neighbor in question does not see the humor.
According to TMZ, Jeff Schwartz believes he is entitled to a giant wad of cash because he’s become known solely as the dude Bieber vandalized.
He claims this has damaged his reputation in the car sales media software department.
But now Schwartz wants even more because he alleges Bieber verbally abused his wife and daughter while besmirching his good name.
