Britney Spears—Single Again

Well, it’s official… Britney Spears is single again. What’s that you say—you blinked and didn’t realize that her relationship with model Issac Cohen was over? OOOOHHH, you didn’t realize that she was even involved with the 25-year-old K-Fed look-alike to begin with. Not to worry. That’s what I’m here for. The end of Spears’s short romance means she will likely be without a suitor on Valentine’s Day, but before we tackle that conundrum let’s review what the ex-“Mickey Mouse Show” star has been up to since my last Britney blog: January 2007—Spears and Cohen make their first public appearance together … Continue reading

Oops She Did It Again–Another Bad Mama Award For Britney

WAIT! Before you buzz over this blog, know that this is not one more string of paragraphs about Britney Spears’ questionable (to put it mildly) parenting skills in relation to her two young sons 1-year-old, Sean Preston, and 3-month-old, Jayden James. Never mind how her recent late-night/early morning, panty-less partying ways are affecting her custody case. Let’s talk about how they are affecting her dogs. It’s the talk of the Tinseltown: When it comes to celebrity dog-parenting skills, Britney Spears is the WORST—-at least according to a recent online vote by readers of two dog magazines. (By the way, the … Continue reading

Britney Responds To Critics

Her partying ways have been splashed on tabloid covers the world over. Her questionable behavior has been the topic of morning talk shows, entertainment-magazine shows… her headlines have even made headlines. No matter where you go it is seemingly impossible to escape Britney-capades: Britney Fed-Ex’s hubby, Britney’s new BFF Paris Hilton, Britney parties without panties (Rosie O’Donnell even offered to “adopt” her and provide her with unlimited underwear), Britney gambles with Mario, Britney hurts her chances of getting full custody of kids… and on and on. Now Britney Spears is answering back. The pop princess recently issued a response to … Continue reading

Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor”

JAMES BLUNT SOLD HIS SISTER ON EBAY Believe it or not this one is real. The “You’re Beautiful” singer tells British GQ that he really did auction his sister on the popular online auction site. We’ve heard of some strange items being put up on eBay, but this has got to top them all. (Okay, well, maybe not all.) Blunt tells the magazine: “I came back to the flat where my sister was staying and she was crying because she couldn’t get to a funeral in Ireland. The planes were on strike, the ferry was out of season, and there … Continue reading

Oops He Did It Again!

The Super Bowl is still a couple of weeks away, but controversy is already brewing regarding an upcoming ad slated to air during the big game, and guess who it features? Mr. Britney Spears himself. Yes, Kevin “I got Fed-Exed” Federline is smack in the middle of it all. According to the New York Post, executives in the fast-food industry are blasting the commercial for Nationwide Insurance, which features Brit’s ex daydreaming about being a rap star but really working in a fast-food joint. Representatives for the National Restaurant Association called the ad “demeaning and unpleasant” to the nation’s 12.8 … Continue reading

The Price of Fame

If you are like me, you often see celebrities and stars on television impeccably dressed, the women often carrying $3,000 handbags and the men driving cars that cost almost as much as some of our houses. And I admit, there are times I am envious. To be able to be famous and enjoy all the perks of it must be grand. But then, I realize that it is not always the case. I am currently reading the biography of Anthony Perkins called Split Image. I’m not nearly through, but from page one, the stage has been set. Actor Osgood Perkins, … Continue reading

Celebrity Tidbits: A Supportive Husband (!) and A Supportive Friend (?)

A SUPPORTIVE HUSBAND! Denzel Washington won an Oscar as best actor for his role as a rogue cop in the 2001 film Training, but I think he should also get an award for his role as a supportive husband. The actor is going public in an effort to encourage his wife of 23 years to come out of retirement and resume her singing career. Washington’s wife, singer Pauletta Pearson, gave up her career as a Broadway actress and singer to marry Washington and raise their four children. Now Washington is trying desperately to persuade his “better half” to return to … Continue reading

Pop Music–Is The Tide Turning?

Do you remember when the only songs you’d hear when you turned on the radio were either from boy bands or female “teen singing sensations?” ‘N Sync, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera posted hit after hit and sold millions and millions of albums. Youth reigned supreme and being an older singer (say, about 30) was looked down on given the domination of teens on the pop charts. But today it seems the tide is turning. Look at the pop charts these days and you see an entirely different story. Justin Timberlake has graduated from ‘N Sync to raunchy (pardon me, … Continue reading

How To Dress Like A Rapper and How One Rapper Is Trying To Dress LESS Like One

You’ve seen them at the mall, on the streets, in parks, and in restaurants… I’m talking about those kids who model the rapper-inspired baggy jeans with waistbands that hit around mid-knee, flashy chain-link necklaces that hit around mid-navel, and baseball caps tilted in angles that defy gravity. One fashion maven described the look as the “scourge of the Earth.” I just consider it a trend and pray my own children will have the good sense not to dare don such an outfit in front of me. I’m not fond of the look, but I happened to be at Sam’s Club … Continue reading
