Taylor Swift Lookalike Launching New Show? Real Taylor FURIOUS?!

Last year, a 19-year-old named Aussie Olivia Sturgiss gained instant fame when Instagram users flipped over her uncanny resemblance to Taylor Swift.



Even Taylor herself acknowledged that the girl was her veritable doppelganger. The singer met Olivia backstage at a concert in Melbourne, Australia and snapped a photo with her (above).


Now it seems Olivia may be trying to cash in on her lucky DNA by launching a show in which she impersonates her idol, according to Celeb Dirty Laundry.


Olivia recently appeared on Aussie television’s Channel Ten’s The Project and was told by host Tommy Little that should could easily get rich just by showing up in front of audiences looking like Taylor. 


Little brought the idea to publicist Max Markson, who agreed to produce the “Taylor Swift Show.”


Markson predicted that by doing a show four nights a week, Olivia could earn $ 5,000 a night or $ 1 million per year.


Little paraded Olivia around the Pitt Street Mall in Sydney, where she was reportedly stopped numerous times by fans thinking she was Taylor.


“Yesterday I counted about six times. It’s usually like ‘You look like that lass on the tell love,’” said Olivia. 


Well, all sounds hunky dory down under for Olivia and Co. now, doesn’t it?


But wait, there’s got to be a catch.


According to CDL, Taylor is a money-grubbing behemoth who won’t take kindly to some lassie trying to make a quick buck off of her hard work.


As proof, the site refers to Taylor’s battle with Apple Music, in which the singer threatened to withhold her “1989” album unless the streaming service agreed to pay the artists royalties.


However, there’s a tremendous difference between a music giant trying to cheat artists out of royalties and a young woman doing a simple impersonation.


Hell, there’s already a gazillion drag queens in blond wigs and sparkly gowns belting out off-key versions of “Bad Blood” around the globe, and I’m sure Taylor thinks it’s a hoot.


We’ve got a feeling Taylor will simply wish this girl well and go back to shredding hundred dollar bills to line her cat’s litter box.


Jinger Duggar Criticized For Endangering 4-Year-Old Nephew

The women of the Duggar family are expected to start helping with household chores – including caring for their younger siblings – at a very young age.


In keeping with that tradition, 22-year-old Jinger Duggar has been helping with the young ones since she was little girl herself. Perhaps that’s why this photo caught so many fans by surprise:



That’s a shot of Michael Duggar, the 4-year-old son of Josh and Anna Duggar, asleep in the backseat of Jinger’s car during a shopping excursion.


The image was posted to the Duggar’s official Facebook page this afternoon along with a caption reading, “Look at this photo Jinger sent us! Seems like her little shopping buddy needed some rest!”


Seems harmless enough, but because everything the Duggars do stirs up controversy these days, several fans immediately went on the offensive.


The problem, it seems, is that Michael is not properly restrained according to Arkansas state law, which dictates that children under the age of 5 or weighing less than 60 pounds must ride in a car seat.


Naturally, the comments section on the photo has now devolved into a battleground with child safety advocates duking it out with the Duggar faithful:


“He should be in a high back booster or a harness,” wrote one commenter. “She probably wasn’t driving when the photo was taken but had to have been driving with him in that position. He wasn’t properly restrained. Period.”



“Even if he were in a backless booster and that booster is being hidden by the blanket in the photo, a backless/no back booster isn’t even an appropriate seat for a 5yo anyway,” another chimed in.


Naturally, these comments sparked the usual “know-it-all moms” blowback:


“1) she PROOOOBABLY wasn’t able to take such a perfect picture, from the driver’s seat, while driving. 2) if you say your child has.never done this, you’re lying. 3) they don’t need your safety advice,” one commenter wrote in Jinger’s defense.


The Duggars have been criticized for photos of their kids on numerous occasions in the past year.


In fact, this isn’t even the first controversy related to a car seat.


Some of it seems to come from a place of genuine concern; most of it is just the usual Internet outrage directed at some very low-hanging fruit, but as several commenters pointed out today, when it pertains to their kids’ safety, the Duggars should probably just take the advice.


Blac Chyna"s Mom Throws All the Shade at the Kardashians

The mother of Blac Chyna just upped the ante in her daughter’s feud with the Kardashian sisters.


And she did it in hilariously unhinged fashion.



With the Internet still buzzing over Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian actually being engaged, Tokyo Toni has taken to Instagram to make her thoughts on her impending relatives rather clear.


Blac Chyna’s mom shared the following Photoshopped image of Kim Kardashian and company and wrote a rambling message as a caption that can be summarized with just a few bullet points:







  • The siblings have large rear ends.

  • They all had plastic surgery.

  • None of them are invited to her daughter’s wedding.

For some reason, after making this post live, Tokyo Toni expressed regret over her Kardashian bashing and said she would not do it again.


“I know people look up to me,” she Tweeted, adding that she feels a need to make a “public apology to everyone [she] offended on IG, especially the Kardashians.”


Why is she apologizing to these family members?


“I just feel it’s being proper,” she wrote.


Sure. We guess.


But what if they really did threaten to kick Rob out of the family if he married Blac Chyna? What then?!?


Adam Levine HATES Miley Cyrus! Wants Her OFF The Voice!

The Voice has always pegged itself as a “nice” show, free of the drama and negativity that surrounded other singing competitions (cough, cough, American Idol).


But while the coaches may seem all buddy-buddy in front of the cameras, behind the scenes is a whole other ball of wax.



This season, Miley Cyrus joined the show as an advisor and producers liked her so much they promoted her to full-fledged coach next season, joining the ranks of Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and new coach Alicia Keys.


The news hit Adam Levine hard, because he is reportedly not a fan of Miley’s.


It turns out that the two butted heads at every turn this season, and now Adam is furious he has to see Miley in the spinning red chair all day, err day when they tape next season.


“They both have short attention spans. They find each other annoying,” a source told Us Weekly.


“Adam would get agitated when Miley would interrupt him, and she enjoyed getting under his skin.”


That kinda sounds fun to watch. 


In the show’s first couple seasons, it was rumored that Adam was feuding with coach Christina Aguilera, but it seems the two buried the hatchet and the Maroon 5 front man is refocusing his umbrage toward Miley.


Christina, who will not return next season, appears to have found a new foe in Blake Shelton.


The country singer reportedly got her fired from the show because he was pissed that she replaced his girlfriend Gwen Stefani.


Are Adam and Blake turning into the little divas of The Voice? Because it sure sounds like they’re trying to run the show.


(Yes, men can be divas, too.)
