Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan “Avoided Each Other Completely” at Super Bowl Party—All the Details!

image

Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton ‘s friendship is so 2006.
The actress, 27, and the musician, 32, both turned up to the same Super Bowl bash on Thursday, Jan. 30—and the former BFFs made sure to keep their distance at Cîroc Presents Bootsy Bellows at the Liquid Cellar in New York City. “They sat at separate tables across the room from each other and did not interact once,” a partygoer tells E! News exclusively. “They avoided each other completely.”
Other famous attendees included Mike Comrie , Zachary Levi, Terrell Owens and Geoff Stults .
Hilton held court at a table with her model boyfriend, River Viiperi .
Lohan, meanwhile, “sat with a group of young guys,” the partygoer says, noting that the Mean Girls movie star stayed sober. “There was booze on her table, but she wasn’t drinking. She actually looked really good and seemed fresh and alert. She was in great spirits and spent a lot of time sharing photos on her cell phone with friends.”
In an August 2013 Oprah’s Next Chapter interview, Lohan admitted that “alcohol” had been her drug of choice in previous years. “That, in the past, was a gateway to other things for me,” she explained.
While it doesn’t appear that Hilton will be making amends with Lohan anytime soon, she has rekindled her relationship with childhood pal Nicole Richie . The former Simple Life costars posed for a picture during Art Basel in December 2013, and the #CandidlyNicole star reminisced about their reality TV days in Marie Claire Mexico . “Paris has been part of my life since I was 2 years old,” Richie told the fashion magazine. “There’s a strong friendship between our families and we’ll always know each other.”

Actress and singer Naya Rivera covers the Spring 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas. The cover shoot was photographed by Marc Baptiste. In the interview, Naya talks about her fiance Big Sean. She also talks about getting a job as a teenager and speaking Spanish.
On Big Sean: “I think he’s going to be an amazing husband, and he’ll make a great father someday. He’s so kind to people, but he also wears the pants in our relationship, which I love. We Latinas are very independent and strong, so it’s even sweeter that I’ve found somebody who can let me out of that role for a minute.”
On Finding a Job as a Teenager: “I was very resourceful when it came to getting a job. I was the ultimate liar on a resume. At the tender age of 19, I said I had a bachelor’s degree; they never checked! Even when I didn’t have much, I always acted as if I had everything I wanted. Latin women are go-getters by nature. We have a certain charm and finesse that gets us what we want.”
On Speaking Spanish : “It sucks because I have no one to [speak Spanish] to, but it’s something I need to learn when I have kids. They need to be fluent.”

Actress Lea Michele covers the March 2014 issue of Teen Vogue . Lea was interviewed by her best friend, actor and singer Jonathan Groff, for the Teen Vogue cover. He asked Lea about her debut album and about what Cory Monteith thought about her album.
On Her New Album: “During Glee , I felt like I was scratching that itch of being an artist. I was at a great place in my life and I was so unbelievably happy-my relationship with Cory made me feel like I could reach for the stars and more. So I was like, ‘I’m going to challenge myself and do this record now.’ It’s obviously pop, but I think it shows me off as a singer.”
On Why The Album is Called Louder : ” Louder is like me. I’m loud, I come from an Italian family, I don’t stop talking.”
On What Cory Monteith Thought About: “He was such a fan, you don’t understand. He would be like, ‘You’re going to be a pop star! What are we going to do? Are we going to, like, go on the road?’ He would say, ‘This is going to be big!’ And I’d be like, ‘I don’t know.’ He heard every song and gave me his notes on everything. He loved ‘Battlefield.’ I’m getting chills thinking about it. I would say ‘Burn with You’ was his favorite. He came into the studio that day.”

Selena Gomez NOT Dating Austin Mahone

Selena Gomez is NOT dating Austin Mahone, despite an Us Weekly report.
The magazine claims that Taylor Swift played matchmaker for the two young music stars.
“They’re seeing each other,” a so-called “source” tells Us Weekly , which alleges that Gomez and Mahone are “keeping the romance relatively quiet.” According to the outlet, the pair “sneaked out separately” from the Beats Music concert on January 24 and “then got in the same car!”
Except Us Weekly, which previously fabricated a romance between Gomez and Ed Sheeran and spread a false rumor about Gomez and Swift feuding, is wrong once again.
A source close to the situation tells me that Gomez and Mahone are “NOT dating.”

Lorde says New Zealand paparazzi nearly knocked her over in an attempt to get photos of the singer.
The 17-year-old star tweeted on Tuesday, “[New Zealand] media almost pushed over myself and my family at the airport this morning in order to get their shots. Bit of a sad welcome if I’m honest.”
The “Royals” singer continued, “I understand that people of note are supposedly fair game for everyone to photograph and film but that doesn’t make it acceptable.”
Lorde went on to say, “There is a difference between attention from fans, which I love, and the constant, often lecherous gaze that i’m subjected to in this industry.”
“I know that success comes with a price tag. It just sucks when you see that in your tiny home country where you previously felt safe,” added the musician.

Don’t stop bracing yourselves: Madonna’s epic collaborations continue. After joining Macklemore, Ryan Lewis and Mary Lambert (plus mass-wedding officiant Queen Latifah) onstage at Sunday’s Grammys, the pop legend, 55, will be performing with fellow provocateur Miley Cyrus for the younger star’s MTV Unplugged special , two sources confirm to Us Weekly . The stripped-down, acoustic concert tapes in L.A. on Tuesday, Jan. 28, and airs on MTV the following evening. ( E! News was first to break the story, noting that Madonna and Cyrus, 21, were rehearsing together on Monday.)
One source close to both divas tells Us that the planned duet came together “last minute” thanks to the efforts of MTV and their respective managers.
No word yet on what the women will sing together, but Madonna and Cyrus’ natural kinship isn’t difficult to figure out: The elder pop queen was pushing the envelope — with brazen, frank depictions of female sexuality and more — in her music, videos, live performances and attention-grabbing interviews before Cyrus was even born.
