2010 VMAs

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards are over – did you catch the show? I missed most of the red carpet, but then I usually do for music award shows. I did manage to catch Lady Gaga on the red carpet making more than a statement with her dates than her clothing. If you’ve seen a Gaga outfit before, you know that is quite a statement. She arrived with four gay and lesbian soldiers who had been discharged from the military under the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. This requires the soldiers to keep their homosexuality a secret because if … Continue reading →

Pop Culture Potpourri: “Sex and the City” Sequel and a Split That Works

Hit me baby one more time. It’s semi-official: The girls from “Sex and the City” will be reuniting on the big screen yet again. At least according to Kim Cattrall. The actress who played Samantha in the HBO series and this year’s mega-successful “Sex and the City: The Movie,” confirmed to British news reporters that a sequel is in the works. The 52-year-old actress revealed that she is “thrilled” to be giving the fans what they want. “The fans keep saying, ‘Yes, one more,’” Cattrall told reporters. “The movie was so much fun to do and be part of again.” … Continue reading →

Star Updates: He’s Free, He’s Here and He’s Baaack

HE’S FREE Free at last! Hulk Hogan’s son is out of jail. While many believe Nick Bollea should have stayed behind bars for at least a few years, the former wrestler’s son is a free man today. The 18-year-old was released from a Florida jail shortly after midnight and reportedly ran into the open arms of his sister Brooke before flashing a peace sign to the paparazzi. Bollea served just 166 days of an 8-month jail sentence for his involvement in a 2007 car crash that left his best friend and former Marine (who served time in Iraq), John Graziano … Continue reading →

Let’s Hear It for Second Chances

A wise man once said the more second chances you give the more second chances you’ll get. Kind of makes you wonder whom Britney Spears has lent a hand to recently. Her goodwill gesture must have been a doozie because the reforming trainwreck is getting a second chance from MTV. As in the network that broadcast her disastrous “comeback” at last year’s Video Music Awards. Bigwigs at the music network say they are considering giving Spears a chance to bust a move (or a least a nail or two) on stage at this year’s event. VMA organizers say they are … Continue reading →

Britney and Alison Score

Finally, it’s good news for popwreck Britney Spears. The malfunctioning mother of two young sons may be on the right track after all… at least that’s how a judge sees it. The singer was just awarded overnight privileges with her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1 by a judge assigned to her custody case. The decision was announced a few hours ago and already rumors are spreading that Spears might regain all of her custody rights (the ones that were completely stripped from her following her mass meltdown in January) by the end of the summer. Sources connected to the … Continue reading →

Celebrities Getting the Royal Treatment—Simon Cowell and Britney Spears

SIMON COWELL Most ousted “American Idol” contestants would be thrilled to see music mogul Simon Cowell get the royal boot from his high horse, but it doesn’t appear as though that will be happening anytime soon. In fact, the cocky Brit is actually getting the royal treatment in his homeland. According to British newspapers, Cowell has just been awarded a privilege typically reserved for members of the royal family and eminent politicians – he can now park his car wherever he wants to. The paper is reporting that the “Britain’s Got Talent” judge made a fuss about parking restrictions in … Continue reading →

American Idol News: Paula’s Blunder

If you watched American Idol last night, you might agree with Simon – it was “officially the strangest show we’ve ever done.” Last night, Ryan Seacrest told everyone that he or she would sing two songs. But, unlike the usual format, they would not hear from the judges until after the second song. Therefore, everyone sang his or her first song and it was a true snoozefest in my opinion. I thought my original favorite, Brooke White, would do great with Neil Diamond since she has a Carol King/Carly Simon feel to her singing. But no, she chose to sing … Continue reading →

Pink and Carey Separate and Idol News

How many times have Michele and I started a blog with “Well, they said it wouldn’t last…and it didn’t!” This time, I am talking about motocross racer Carey Hart and his soon to be ex-wife Pink. The couple has decided to end their union after a mere two years. The singer and the racer met at the 2001 X Games in Las Vegas. She proposed to him four years later while the couple was at a race in Mammoth Lakes, California. A January 7, 2006 wedding followed in Costa Rica. But, now the good times are over. Today, Pink’s rep … Continue reading →

Britney Spears—2008 Starts Off Less Than Great

So much for a new year, a clean slate, and a fresh start… Popwreck Britney Spears entered 2008 as pathetically as she exited 2007… and things don’t look as if they will be improving any time soon. For starters, yesterday Ms. Meltdown’s latest lawyer, Sorrell Trope, filed a court document asking a judge to remove him from Spears’ ongoing custody case with ex-husband Kevin Federline. “There has been a breakdown in communications between (Spears) and Trope & Trope (law firm) making further representation of her interests impossible,” says the document. Basically, Trope quit. Though an attorney cannot simply withdraw from … Continue reading →

George Clooney Defends Britney Spears

George Clooney doesn’t have much to say about Britney Spears’ parenting skills (or lack there of), but he is coming to her defense regarding the way the paparazzi hounds her. The former “ER” hunk went public with harsh remarks aimed at the paparazzi during a recent interview with news reporters. Last week the 46-year-old actor pulled off to the side of an L.A. street while he was riding his motorcycle with his girlfriend, Sarah Larson. He then spent 10 minutes admonishing the paps for getting too close for comfort. In a video clip posted on TMZ.com Clooney lays into the … Continue reading →
