We never would have imagined that Russell Brand would stick up for Bruce Jenner, but the British comedian did just that over the weekend in a video on his YouTube show Trews.

Russell went on a rant about how the media is picking apart Bruce's appearance and said:

"This is bullying. Stop. Stop. Bruce Jenner is a human being. If you want to learn more about transgender issues, look at GLAAD.org."

Bruce has been growing out his hair for quite some time now, and after stepping out with painted nails, diamond studs and what looks like lip gloss, many have been speculating that the reality star is transitioning into a woman. The latest issue of In Touch Weekly features Bruce with lipstick Photoshopped on his face, along with the title, "Bruce's Story: My Life As A Woman."

"Transphobia seems to be the most recent and encouraged form of prejudice, now that racism and homophobia are not tolerated," Brand continued. "It's such a celebration of the worst aspects of human values," Brand said. "What this does is it sanctions people being judgmental and cruel toward transgender folks."

In response to a TV quiz where the host asked "Do you think Bruce wants to be a woman? Tweet us and let us know," Brand said, "Do you think people should be judged until they're driven into a hole, perhaps even suicide? Let us know!"

Another day, another frightening sexy bikini photo from Tara Reid!

The 39-year-old actress posted some snapshots from Miami over the holiday weekend, where she is currently vacationing with her new boyfriend. "The sun is really coming out!" she wrote. "Wish you guys where [sic] here playing!" Sigh. We hope she knows the difference between were and where, but we're not counting on it...

Tara also shared the news on Facebook that's she's on board for Sharknado 3, and it seems like she might have a gig with Carl's Jr. as well! On Friday she tweeted that she had just gotten her car washed, and after a fan said he fantasized about her washing a car in a bikini, she joked, "That's my next Carl's jr commercial." But then the burger joint actually tweeted at Tara! "We would love to see that! Give us a call," they wrote, to which Reid enthusiastically replied, "I will for sure I've always wanted to be in one of your commercials. That would be a dream come true! Lets do it!"

And we'd love to see that...

Get your skewers out, Justin Bieber is being roasted in his very own Comedy Central special. Put up your double cups -- because it's time to cheer and jeer at all things Justin Bieber!

The 20-year-old bad boy is set to be roasted during a March 7 taping, Us Weekly reports.

And instead of shying away from the barbs and jokes, the Canadian miscreant is welcoming the roasting, apparently the Biebs has been trying to get roasted for ages. On Tuesday, a rep for Comedy Central told Ryan Seacrest, “Justin has been asking us for years to roast him ... so we kept telling him to create some more material and we’re thrilled he listened.”

It appears as though that's the truth! Bieber took to Twitter to unleash his excitement, confirming the news, "For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me. They said only if I provided them w/ more material so for a year now I have worked hard. Finally after all that hard work for my 21st bday it's happening. Thanks @RyanSeacrest & @ComedyCentral for the announcement. Let's do it :)."

We can't imagine the writers will have a lack of material. From his on-again/off-again relationship with Selena Gomez to his arrests and recent Calvin Klein campaign, JB is great at making headlines! And now Comedy Central can turn all his antics into punch-line gold!

Comedy Central has roasted other notable stars, including Hugh Hefner, Bob Saget, Donald Trump, Charlie Sheen and Pamela Anderson.

Despite all the madness and mockery, Justin really seems to be a good sport about his persona. Over the weekend on Saturday Night Live, funny ladies Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong parodied his CK video with Dutch model Lara Stone -- and it appears as if the "Baby" singer took the jabs all in good fun.

On Saturday night, he tweeted, "Well played. Lol," to SNL's official Twitter account.

Taking it in stride!

Family time in the slammer!

Teresa Giudice received her first visit in prison from husband Joe and her daughters since checking into Connecticut's Federal Correctional Institution on Jan. 5 to begin serving her 15-month sentence, Us Weekly reports.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star could have had them visit last weekend, but she chose to nix the meet up to keep her daughters on their schedule. "The girls had significant activities and Teresa didn't want to disrupt anything," a source told the mag.

So how is Tre being treated in the clink thus far? "All anyone is talking about is that woman — even the staff. The vultures who want to be her bestie were all over her," another insider told Us.

Gone are the days of dinner parties and table flipping!

Turning up the heat before hitting the big screen!

Dakota Johnson appears on the February cover of Vogue and is labeled as a "breakout star", and the actress even made a short video to accompany her spread. Her film Fifty Shades of Grey is due to hit theaters on Valentine's Day, and whoever is doing the PR on the flick just got a major score by getting their star in America's fashion bible!

The 25-year-old looks beautiful in the glossy, but we must say this vid is a little awkward! Melanie Griffith's daughter is shown wearing a camisole in her dressing room, and when someone knocks on the door, she asks for a minute and the man, in true Christian Grey sexiness, asks, "If I do give you a minute, how long can you make it last?"

We wonder if the brunette beauty has a hit on her hands, or a complete flop!

Jennifer Lopez appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, and after chatting about her new film, she played a round of Catchphrase with Jimmy, Anthony Mackie and Steve Higgins. But this wasn't just any ordinary game -- J. Lo's was able to use her famous booty for the final word of the game. "That was the best round of Catchphrase I've ever played in my life!" Fallon said as soon as the game was over. Check out the hilarious clip above!

J. Lo is currently promoting The Boy Next Door, and she also stepped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show for an interview, which airs today. The singer/actress shoots down rumors that she's dating much younger co-star Ryan Guzman, and she also chats about the "cougar" label. I mean, her last boyfriend WAS nearly two decades younger than her!

"I'm not after younger guys. If younger guys like me then that’s one thing," she said. "There’s like guys who just go after younger women. They have no name. No label. And you can date one person. Label." She's got a point!

Khloe Kardashian posted a pic of her with little brother Rob, and it seems like the snapshot is very recent. Not only has Rob seemingly dropped a significant amount of weight, but it seems like he's actually happy! "My ace from day 1," she wrote. We're glad someone is cheering for Rob!

Khloe also posted a photo with stepdad Bruce Jenner, and who knows what's going on with that supposed sex change, but no matter what, his daughters are by his side! Khloe wrote, "Family 💙💙💙," and while we're sure the group was enjoying some bonding time, it seems more likely that all six of them are glammed up and in the same room together because they were shooting for their reality show.

When we polled our X17 readers last week, 55% of you think Bruce is transitioning into a woman, but 45% of you think the press has taken a rumor and run with it. Maybe the former Olympian just loves diamond studs and lip gloss? It doesn't really explain the pink nail polish...

Jennifer Lopez was super over all things American Idol and The Boy Next Door when she headed to a promo event in New York City on Monday. She's so over it -- she can't even ...

The 45-year-old is filming Idol this week in NYC, as well as doing press for her upcoming thriller, which also stars rumored new toy boy Ryan Guzman and hits theaters on Friday. Sounds exhausting!

During an appearance on Good Morning America, Lopez talked to Robin Roberts about her new role, saying that she identified with the character.

"[Claire Peterson is] late 30s-early 40s...separated about to go through a divorce, deciding, feeling like at her lowest point in her life. You know how that is, her husband's cheated on her. She doesn't know how to deal with it, and is not feeling desirable," said the singer/actress.

We will never understand how a sultry siren like Lopez could feel undesirable -- but we guess even superstars have bad hair days (although that seems doubtful) ...

For now it seems like everything is coming up roses for Jenny so we don't know what could be bugging the superstar, but we know one thing -- don't mess with JLo when she's having a bad day ...
