It's almost impossible to top the ridiculous antics Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt engaged in last season on
Celebrity Big Brother. Courtney Stodden may have done the unthinkable on the British reality show's new season.
Courtney belted out the American National Anthem while bawling on Friday's episode. Granted, the performance was part of a challenge to sing and sob at the same time, but it was atrocious, nonetheless.
The reality star wore her best black string bikini underneath a sheer sweater for the occasion. In true patriotic fashion, she read the lyrics off a sheet of paper while waving an American flag. Forgetting the words was the least of her troubles; Court sounded like a whimpering puppy that needed to be put out of its mystery.
We wonder if Roseanne Barr gave her any tips.

To say that Jennifer Lopez is in high demand would be an understatement.
J.Lo was paid a whopping $17.5 million to return to the
American Idol judging panel,
MailOnline reports.
"It's a major coup for her to land a huge payday like that and I believe she is thrilled with that number," a source told MailOnline. "It's a lot more than the $15 [million] Britney Spears was paid to do
The X Factor."
This is a huge spike from the $12 million she received for her first season on
Idol in 2011. She was given a $3 million raise the following year and reportedly asked for another cool $3 million to come back for a third season. The
Idol producers allegedly didn't budge so she walked away from the reality competition. Mariah Carey, who, along with Nicki Minaj, replaced Jennifer on the show, was reportedly paid $18 million for her single season judging stint.
Jennifer will join new judge Harry Connick Jr. and fellow alum (and Mariah-Nicki catfight moderator) Keith Urban for Season 13, which premiers in January.

And the hits keep on coming!
Lamar Odom had a car accident less than a week before his Friday
D.U.I. arrest, the
Los Angeles Times reports.
L.A. Times reporter Adolfo Flores was in the third car of a chain-reaction when Odom's white Mercedes hit a vehicle, which then rear-ended Flores, last Saturday off the 101 Freeway in L.A. The minor crash was not reported to authorities.
Flores said Odom initially hesitated to give him his insurance information. "It doesn't even look that bad," he allegedly said. After when he finally handed it over, the NBA star then didn't want to take his form back. Flores tried to return Odom's insurance doc three times before he finally accepted it. "I need it to drive," he said.
Flores' car and the car in the middle of the accident had bumper damage. Odom's car, on the other hand, had damage near its driver's headlight. But, Flores said it was unclear if the damage was sustained from that particular accident.
Odom was pulled over for a DUI on the same freeway early Friday morning. The athlete failed a sobriety test and once arrested, refused to take a drug test. The athlete's driving privileges have been revoked for a year.

From Kris Jenner's talk show getting
cancelled to
Lamar Odom's D.U.I. arrest early on Friday morning, it's been quite a week for the Kardashians!
On Friday X17 photographers snapped Kris arriving at the family's Calabasas office, and despite all the drama over the last few days, she maintained her very best poker face. Kris has had several
business meetings over the course of the week (not to mention an appointment with the
family attorney and
divorce lawyer Laura Wasser), and though she hasn't exactly been chatty with photogs, she has kept her cool. That's pretty impressive, if you ask us!
And while the family has yet to issue a statement about Lamar being arrested (or whether he's going to rehab...or whether Khloe is filing for divorce), she posted yet another
sexy selfie, so even if she's stressed to the max, she seems to want to let her fans know she's doing just fine. She posted this pic along with the message, "Smile and no one will notice."

He's quite the jet setter!
Brad Pitt boarded a private jet in L.A. this morning to head to the Telluride Film Festival, and it appears Angelina is on solo parenting duty while dad is away!
The hunky actor managed to squeeze in some romantic time with his lady love before he left town, though! Reports claim the A-list couple recently left their kids with the nanny to enjoy a steamy hotel tryst at the Sunset Tower hotel in West Hollywood.
The father-of-six has a lot on his plate these days!
The
World War Z star is adding to his resume with the 10-episode supernatural comedy called
Deadbeat, which his company Plan B Entertainment is producing for Hulu and Lionsgate. Production is slated to begin this fall.
With all these projects, when will there be time for a Brangelina wedding?!

Someone forgot her undergarments!
Paris Hilton ran errands in Beverly Hills this morning, and the heiress wore her usual uniform of velour pants, running shoes, and a t-shirt, except she forgot to wear some support so she gave onlookers a full show!
Things are coming up roses for Princess P these days!
After spending the last month in Ibiza getting her DJ career of the ground, the former
Simple Life star has just been offered a residency gig at the legendary nightclub Amnesia for an undisclosed amount.
The blonde bombshell was recently signed to the Cash Money Records label, and she's already teasing promos for her upcoming single "Oh Paris" off her house music album.
Nothing stands in the way of P-Hilty when she sets her sights on something!

Chris Brown just can't seem to put the spray can down! After neighbors forced him to paint over a wall covered with caricature monsters outside of his Hollywood Hills home, the controversial star decided to take his art to the streets and spray paint the toothy creatures onto girlfriend Karrueche Tran's Porsche. And now it looks like the 24-year-old has added more monsters to Tran's car! Which is just what the world needed more of. Maybe Brown should just paint a self portrait on there while he is at it?
We first spotted the freshly painted ride on August 22nd -- and it seems as though Brown has been on a painting frenzy since then, choosing to amp up the volume of the images on the pricey vehicle. The Porsche had two fanged (one blue and one pink) images on it last week, but now the sports car's monsters have appeared to have multiplied. Doesn't everyone know you aren't supposed to feed a Mogwai after midnight?! This is a rookie mistake, people!
It's days like today where we ask ourselves: do we dislike Chris Brown because he is the type of person who spray paints a $90,000 car? Or do we dislike a $90,000 car emblazoned with multicolored monstrosities, just because we know its Chris Brown's? We may never know -- but we're pretty sure we'd think this car was an eyesore no matter whom the owner was.
Last week, Karrueche also tweeted a snapshot of herself sitting on the freshly painted whip and wrote, "this what the f*ck I come home to lmao this n**** man..."
A classy car for a classy lady.

What a babe!
Emmanuelle Chriqui and boyfriend Adrian Bellani are currently enjoying a romantic vacation in Miami, and what better way to heat up the already hot temperatures than by sporting a skimpy bikini!
The
Entourage actress was in an amorous mood, apparently, because she lovingly planted kisses on her man while they splashed around in the water.
She might be returning to TV now that an
Entourage movie is in the works, so she better enjoy her off time now!
"It's been green lit, so it's there, and there's a script. But we're still waiting for the official, 'This is the start date'... Listen, I'm excited... I'm hoping. My fingers are crossed that we start in September," she told
City News about the HBO hit being made into a film.
Sloane has never looked so sexy!
