Taylor Swift in Parade: What's Her Biggest Fear?

One day, Taylor Swift might appear on Glee.
For now, though, the young singer is making the rounds and promoting her upcoming album in a number of television and print interviews. One of the latest, with Parade Magazine, features Swift opening up about life, love and her biggest fear. Excerpts are below.

On love: Love is fascinating. Wishing for it, pining for it, and the anger that comes when you lose it. I used to think that I could figure out some pattern to love, like if you don’t text a guy back for a half hour, he’ll like you more. But there is no pattern. Absolutely nothing is predictable in love or in life.
On Back to December: Guys get what they deserve in my songs, and if they deserve an apology, they should get one. There was someone who was absolutely wonderful to me and I dropped the ball, and I needed to say all that.
On growing up as an outsider: If I was going through a really tough day at school and I didn't have anyone to talk to or sit with at lunch, I would say to myself over and over again, 'It's okay because I can write a song about this later.'
On her biggest fear: That's definitely a nightmare that I wake up from sometimes. Saying things in songs that people will care about is my biggest hope, and saying things that nobody will care about is my biggest fear.

Happy Birthday, Zac Efron!

With long hair or a mohawk, a clean-shaved face or a beard, there's no denying it: Zac Efron is a THG favorite.
This talented actor doesn't crave the spotlight outside of work, has remained in a committed relationship with Vanessa Hudgens - and is just so gosh darn adorable!
Zac turns 23 years old today and let us be the first to send along the happiest of birthday wishes. We encourage readers to chime in and express their feelings for this grounded star, as we honor him with the following photo montage...

Kim Kardashian Parties, Questions Nude Photo Future

undefined


Set to turn 30 this Thursday, Kim Kardashian is not too old to arrange parties for herself on back-to-back nights in Las Vegas and New York City. That's what she did this weekend, as THG has posted pictures from the former event HERE and the latter below.
But the professional red carpet poser does claim to be at the age where taking off one's clothes for attention and money just feels wrong.
"I'm too old for that now," Kim told Us Weekly at her NYC bash Saturday night when asked about another nude magazine pictorial. "I wanted to get it all out of my system before I turned 30."
If that was Kardashian's goal, she accomplished it with a spread in Playboy... and in Harper's Bazaar... and in W Magazine...

Justin Bieber to Take Stand Against Homophobia

Justin Bieber is looking to turn a negative into a positive.
Although details are still coming in regarding an incident at a Canadian laser tag facility over the weekend, this much we know: Bieber got into a brief confrontation with a 12-year old who harassed the singer and referred to him as a "faggot."
While authorities are still interviewing witnesses and won't release the names of any minors involved, TMZ reports that Justin wishes to take a proactive stance on the matter of bullying.
A source tells the celebrity gossip site that Bieber will likely come forward this week and "lend his support to the anti-bullying campaign." At the very least, expect a public service announcement along the lines of recent messages from Adam Lambert, Kim Kardashian and many others.
Even more so than his decision to never cut his hair, this move should have a significant influence on youths across the nation. We applaud Justin for taking a stand.

Junior Seau Arrested For Domestic Violence, Drives Off Cliff and Somehow Survives

Retired NFL star Junior Seau was arrested early this morning for domestic violence in San Diego, where he spent the majority of his pro football career.
Seau was booked at the Vista Detention Facility around 2 a.m. and released about 90 minutes later. It wouldn't be the last time he made headlines today.
Dude drove his SUV off a cliff!
It's been quite the morning for Junior Seau.
The footballer's car drove off a cliff in Carlsbad, Calif., and he survived despite sustaining injuries in the wreck, according to police who arrived at the scene.
Seau has been transported to a local hospital. The accident happened just south of Oceanside, Calif., where he grew up and where he was arrested earlier today.
It's unclear what caused the crash, but stay tuned ...
UPDATE: Seau's accuser is his 25-year-old girlfriend, who claims the NFL star assaulted her during a verbal argument at Junior's home late last night.
Once the police arrived, Junior had already left the home and the alleged victim said she sustained minor injuries that did not require medical treatment.
