I am liking this song and it normally takes me a few listens to a new song to like it. Another dance tune for Jennifer Lopez, who joins forces with Pitbull. I like the beat and it makes you want to dance. This is only a lyric version of the song, so I'm sure the actually video will be hot. What are your opinions on it?
Is Jennifer Lopez your favorite judge on American Idol?
Heejun Han went to his serious side this week on American Idol and it didn't work, as America didn't vote for him and he was sent home. Read my conference call with him today.
This is such a sweet story and these two are truly amazing parents. The wife is a blogger for Huffington Post and has written about her son, a 7-year-old, who has come out to his parents. That is quite a young age to do it, but then I think about myself and I do remember in the third grade thinking that the boys in class were cute...look at me now! Anyway, this letter is the dad's reaction to all the haters telling him and his wife how they should deal with the situation. It is great and if we had more people like this in the world, the world would be a lot more peaceful place to live. Kudos to these parents. What are you thoughts?
"If he and his maybe-some-day-far-far-in-the-future boyfriend want to tie the knot, they just need to tell his mother and me where to be, and we'll be there. Hopefully by then they can get married in whichever state they want, but if not, we'll just travel to one of the cool states and have a great time."
Here's a new thing I am going to start trying to do. I know people are out there reading these posts, but I want to communicate with you...so, let's start up a conversation. Maybe if it goes well and the comments start flowing on all my posts I will give out a special prize to the #1 commenter! Stay tuned for that.
With the Mega Millions drawing approaching $600 million, the first topic of discussion: What you would do with that kind of money if you won?
I wouldn't even know where to start, but I have plenty of ideas...paying off debt and traveling for sure! Leave a comment and let's start a convo on this gloomy Friday! Also, comment on my other posts as well...please!
Many predicted this outcome, but it still was a shock to me. Find out who went home tonight on American Idol in my recap. Also, did NIkki Minaj's boobie come out during her performance?
So I must admit...last night's episode of American Idol had some amazing performances and it is going to be hard to say goodbye to one of them. However, the person who does go home can leave with their head high...they made Top 9 on American Idol and they left on a positive note after a great performance.
As I said in my recap last night, the show was full of music...from the Top 9 performances to trio performances from the Top 9 as well. Jessica Sanchez...awesome, Phillip Phillips...amazing, Colton Dixon...great, Elise Testone...flawless and Heejun Han...heartfelt. The singers had five standing ovations from the judges, DeAndre Brackensick and Heejun were told that they were back after some lackluster performances. It seemed to be a night of perfection, but alas, they all can't move on...or will the judges use their save tonight?
Based on my predictions, the judges will not be using their save tonight...they're saving it for someone (not sure who...maybe Elise?), but if they didn't use it for Erika Van Pelt last week, they won't use it this week. My picks for bottom three: Joshua Ledet (he took on Mariah Carey...enough said), Hollie Cavanagh (she took on Carrie Underwood...enough said) and DeAndre Brackensick (much better, but I still can't get into his voice). Hollie and Joshua are both shockers to be in the bottom three, but they didn't do great on songs that are so well known...decent won't cut it on a night like last night. Ryan Seacrest will send Hollie back right away, so we will have Joshua and DeAndre in the bottom two. After the dreaded commercial break, we will find out that Joshua is safe and DeAndre is in danger of going home. He'll sing for his life and even though Jennifer Lopez loves his unique voice it is the end of the road for him. Do you agree or do you think I am crazy?
Austin Scarlett may not have won Project Runway All Stars, but second place out of 13 all stars is not a bad finish and now, he has some big things in the works. Find out what in my interview with him.
Good Morning America used to be Katie Couric's biggest rival when she was a co-host on Today, but now she will be guest hosting the morning news show for one week beginning April 2. ABC announced this morning that Katie will be filling in for Robin Roberts for the week while she is on vacation. I think I see a ratings win for GMA for that week...do you agree?
It has been talked about for years, but never confirmed. Last night on Conan, Will Ferrell appeared as Ron Burgundy and announced, "It's official, there will be a sequel to 'Anchorman.'" This makes many people very happy, but how the movie will be done is still in the works. Paramount had declined a musical plan put forth by Ferrell and director Adam McKay that also included a proposed Broadway stage show. No details on the project were immediately available but McKay, producer Judd Apatow, and co-stars Paul Rudd and Steve Carell are expected to return. Are you excited for an Anchorman 2 movie?
What an amazing night on American Idol! The singers came out to win it tonight...it is going to be hard to see anyone go home tomorrow after such a great night. Read about it in my recap.
Who do you want to go home tomorrow night on Idol?
Well, you have to give it up to her for trying. Lindsay Lohan, on a mission to get her acting career back on track, will now appear on a May episode of the hit Fox series Glee. She will be playing herself as a judge at nationals...this role may be a stretch for her! Glee also announced that one of my faves, Whoopi Goldberg, will be making a three episode run in May as well...playing a New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts professor (Carmen Tibideaux) who travels to Ohio to meet with Kurt and Rachel about possible acceptance into the school...love it! Is Glee your favorite show on TV?
Do you think Lindsay Lohan is on her way back to a legit acting career?
William Levy, one of the contestants on the current season of Dancing With The Stars, had some photos surface from his past...his underwear model past. There are some racy photos in their, so be careful, but he is very yummy! Just some mesh away from seeing it all! Even though I have no idea who he even is, I think this might keep in the competition a little longer...what do you think?
Did you know who William Levy was before Dancing With The Stars?
Lady Gaga, otherwise known as Mother Monster, turns 26 today...that is insane! To be 26 and that successful...I am super jealous and I'd wear a meat dress too if I was as loaded as she is. Happy Birthday!!!
Are you jealous of Lady Gaga's fame at just the age of 26?
The Mega Millions had no winning tickets sold last night, so the lottery jackpot will increase to $476 million for Friday's drawing. This is the largest jackpot in the game's history. The game is played in over 40 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. You know my ass will be in line buying some tickets....and if you don't hear from me after Friday you know why!
The stars came out strong in week one on Dancing With The Stars, but after two weeks of dancing someone has to go home. Gavin DeGraw, Martina Navratilova, Melissa Gilbert and Gladys Knight ended up with the four lowest scores from the judges after the two weeks of dancing. Add in the vote by America and the first star going home is....Martina Navratilova and her partner Tony Dovolani. Did the right person go home this week?
Because she is so focused on her kids and doesn't want a relationship even though the men are always looking at her, Octomom Nadya Suleman stripped down to barely nothing for this magazine cover in the UK called Closer. She claims she lives for her kids now...I'm sure this picture will make them so proud.
So, not only does Alicia Silverstone pre-chew the food before feeding it to her son, Bear Blu, but then she proceeds to feed it to him mouth-to-mouth...disgusting and that can spread so many diseases! The Clueless star explained, "I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup ... from my mouth to his. It's his favorite ... and mine. He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I'm eating. This video was taken about a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food!" Don't you think this is disgusting?
We have finally arrived at the live shows on Season 2 of The Voice, which start next week, so why not a very early prediction on who will win this season? I will predict my choice and you vote in my poll and let's see who is correct when the season ends! Now there are many talented singers in this competition and I am going to be sad to see any of them go home, but in the end one of them has to win. I loved him in his initial audition and he did great in the battle rounds and he has a ton of followers on Twitter (I'm super jealous), so my prediction for winner of Season 2 of The Voice is........Tony Lucca...he ain't no Mouseketeer anymore, folks! Do you agree? Let me know your thoughts and don't forget to vote in the poll!
Taking Whitney's death too hard? I doubt it....Bobby Brown was a mess long before Whitney died, but Brown was arrested yesterday in L.A. on suspicion of drunk driving. He was later released on bail after he blew under the .08 alcohol limit. If the charges stand, this will be Bobby's second DUI charge...no license for you for a while. I guess we should get used to hearing about him and his probation violations for the next 5 years like Lindsay Lohan???
Mondo Guerra got the championship this time! He lost in the finals of his initial season, but redeemed himself on Project Runway All Stars. Read my exclusive interview with him right here.
Do you hope Lifetime brings back Project Runway All Stars with a new cast?
Madonna's new album, MDNA, has arrived...have you bought it yet? I have not, but I am a huge fan of hers and I think it will be awesome...despite all the haters.
Do you think Madonna is too old to be singing the songs that she does?
Jermaine Paul has been singing backup for Alicia Keys, but now he is taking front and center as he moves on to the live shows next week on The Voice. Today, I got an exclusive interview with him...read it right here.
Katrina Parker has been through some tough times getting to the stage of The Voice, but now she will be singing live for America next week. Read my exclusive interview with her right here.
Have you ever heard of a mold problem like the one Katrina had?
The battle rounds came to an end tonight on The Voice. See which singers made it to the Top 24 and will sing for America next week on the live shows in my recap.
Did the judges pick the right singers tonight?
Going into the live shows, who has the strongest team?
Pip was a wanted man on The Voice and he continues to wow us during the battle rounds. I got a chance to speak with him today and he is a super nice guy. Read my interview right here.
They can't let The Hunger Games steal all their thunder, so Twilight released a trailer for their final film of the franchise, which will be released on November 16. The trailer was shown in the previews during Hunger Games. I know I will be at this premiere...my boyfriend wants to see it, so I have to go in support...you excited for the premiere?
I don't know how I missed this the other night, but Jennifer Lopez wore this sexy dress on the live results show of American Idol. She is doing the Angelina Jolie with that leg, but this is a sexy leg to look at instead of the chicken bone Angelina revealed at the Oscars. Quite sexy, don't you think?
Is Jennifer Lopez the most successful judge on American Idol?
Jimmy Kimmel has been announced as the host of the 64th Annual Emmy Awards show, which will air on ABC on September 23. This is his first time hosting the awards, but not his first hosting gig. He has also hosted the American Music Awards and ESPY Awards and will host the White House Correspondence Dinner in April...it's a big year for Jimmy! Congrats to him and I think he'll be a good host...do you agree?
Talk about a huge opening weekend...$155 million huge! The Hunger Games took Twilight down and had the highest-grossing non-sequel weekend opening of any movie in history. Only "The Dark Knight" ($158.4 million) and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" ($169.1 million) have had stronger opening weekend showings. It was an amazing movie and the theaters were packed. What did you think of it?
The Beliebers can go crazy...Justin Bieber has released a new single, "Boyfriend," as of midnight and I'm sure iTunes is already going crazy. This is a track off his new album, Believe. Did you buy it yet?
Read more about the single and get lyrics here or buy the new single for $2.19 on iTunes right here.
Mocktail anyone? The celebrities throw mocktail parties this week on The Celebrity Apprentice to promote the launch of two new flavors for Crystal Light. Who was fired? Find out in my recap. Did Trump get it right?
Michael Costello may not have won this season of Project Runway All Stars, but third place out of 13 all star designers is still pretty good. Read my interview with him.
Is there something in the water in Hollywood? There have been a lot of pregnancies lately and to add to the bunch Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott announced today on Tori's website that they are expecting their fourth child...five months after she had her third child...slow it down breeders!
Their statement: “Dean, Liam, Stella, Hattie, and I are beyond thrilled to announce that another little McDermott is on the way! We feel truly blessed that another angel has found us.” Best of luck to them and hopes for a healthy baby!
The premiere has been talked about for months and it has finally arrived...The Hunger Games is finally in theaters. Some of you may have already seen it...I have my tickets purchased to see it tomorrow morning. Theaters were packed and lines formed early to get to one of the first showings. There may be other movies coming out this weekend, but pointless because Hunger Games is where it's at...it may break some records! Do you think Hunger Games is the new Twilight?
Doubtful, but Rihanna was spotted leaving Ashton Kutcher's L.A. mansion at 4 a.m. this morning, so that only means one thing...business of course! Ashton is in the process of getting a divorce from his soon-to-be ex-wife, Demi Moore, and Rihanna keeps claiming to be single despite the rumors of her and Chris Brown getting back together. So, why not have a 4-hour visit with Ashton on a Wednesday night? Probably not a couple, but that was definitely a booty call!
This week it is going to be a hard one for me to decide on who should be in the bottom three and who will be in the bottom three on American Idol. The show last night bored me...well, besides the great performances by Phillip Phillips and Colton Dixon, who had the best performance of the season by any singer. Colton's version of "Piano Man" was nothing short of amazing...brilliant behind the piano. Erika Van Pelt debuted a new 'do and I thought it was sexy as hell and it also brought out some more confidence in her.
Now to the business at hand...who will go home tonight? Well, I have my thoughts on who I would like to see go home and who I would like to see in the bottom three, but then I come back to reality and think of how people have been voting and will vote. Who I think deserves to be in the bottom three: DeAndre Brackensick (bad song choice and it bored me), Joshua Ledet (he chose a song out of his normal element and I thought he struggled through it) and Heejun Han (a silly performance and it looks as if he wanted to perform his way off the show).
The actual bottom three will be: DeAndre (he was not good), Heejun (a bad performance and trying to be a comedian, not a singer) and Elise Testone (I think she did amazing, but she hasn't been getting the votes and the judges' pleas for votes for her may hurt her). Elise will get a quick safe, so DeAndre and Heejun in the bottom two. I think Heejun's personality will save him and garner some votes, so going home this week will be DeAndre...do you think I am right?
Tommy Hilfiger started his reign as styling consultant on American Idol last night and his first job: do a major makeover to Erika Van Pelt and she totally was down for it. They chopped her hair off and darkened it up. I love it and you could tell she does too, because she was working that new 'do last night. It is sexy, right?
Singer Carnie Wilson has struggled with weight issues her whole life, as have I, and because she can't get the ambition to lose it on her own, she has opted to have lap-band surgery (People magazine is reporting), a procedure in which a silicone band is placed around the stomach, effectively shrinking it to the size of a golf ball. So, she had gastric bypass surgery in 1999 and now after two kids she can't lose weight so she has to have another surgery. Put down the cheeseburger and maybe you would lose some weight.
"It was the right decision for me and I'm doing really well so far," says Wilson, who has already lost 30 pounds since the surgery. "It's all about taking good care of myself." Go for a walk around the block instead of pounding that pint of Ben & Jerry's and maybe you wouldn't need another surgery. I hate people that cop out and have the surgery, but to do it twice....there are other options people!
I'm not gonna lie...I think this might be a pretty good movie. I loved the TV show and it seems like they did a good job with the movie...what do you all think? It hits theaters on April 13.
Will you see 'The Three Stooges' when it hits theaters?
There has been a lot of drama going on this past week with Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah and her show getting cancelled on OWN and Donald Trump spewing his hateful words, but today let's all celebrate...Rosie turns 50 today! Happy Birthday Ro!
Do you hope Rosie gets her own daytime talk show on a major network?
Us Weekly is reporting that Reese Witherspoon and her husband, Jim Toth, are expecting their first child together. This will be the third child for Witherspoon, who has two children -- Ava, 12, and Deacon, 8 -- from her seven-year marriage to ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. Witherspoon and Toth will soon be celebrating their one-year anniversary and it looks like they'll be celebrating it with a baby on the way. If true, no moe partying it up with her friend and co-star, Chelsea Handler...I'm available Chelsea if you need a new drinking buddy! Congrats to the couple!
TMZ is reporting that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino from Jersey Shore fame is in rehab for substance abuse (and this is shocking to who)? His rep would neither confirm nor deny that he entered rehab, but said he "has spent the past several weeks at an undisclosed location for much needed rest and recuperation after his extensive production and appearance schedule." Yes, I'm sure he has had such a rough schedule...give me a break! Does this shock any of you?
This is adorable and if I ever have kids I want them to be this cute and I will be recording them constantly to post a video like this someday! Isn't she the cutest?
Do you think it is wrong of parents to post videos of their children on Youtube?
Someone a little bit too drunk? You betcha. Someone feeling their music and not liking their reviews? Duh. This happened in Florida? Of course.
Jeffrey Thompson, 28, of Texas, was charged with battery and disorderly conduct after he took the stage at the Melbourne Applebee's, took some clothes off and went berserk following terrible reviews on his performance, WKMG reported...so sad, he was just trying to entertain. After a customer complaint, the manager turned off the music and witnesses saw Thompson throw one punch and knock the manager out. An off-duty cop was eating at the restaurant and chased down the drunk singer and arrested him...must have been St. Patrick's Day weekend! Do you enjoy Applebee's?
Well,not so much, but Ashton Kutcher will be making a trip to outer space. He is going to be taking a trip to outer space on Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo rocket plane, which is being tested at the Mojave Air and Space Port now. The rocket plane could conceivably be in the air next year. This, of course, comes with a hefty price tag...$200,000 for a round trip flight...good thing Two and a Half Men pays him well! Are you a fan of Ashton?
His mother...of course. When George Clooney was arrested last week for crossing the police lines at the Sudanese Embassy protesting the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, he was put behind bars along with his father, but was released later that afternoon after paying a $100 fine...I'm sure he struggled to pay that.
Exciting news for most of you (and who cares news for all the haters), but don't get too excited...there are no definite plans on when this will happen. The two are known for being BFFs, so it is only a matter of time before this were to happen. Rihanna told Access Hollywood, "The song will probably come out in a while. I won't say that it's happening right now, but it's going to happen." What do you think about this possible collaboration? I think it could be hot and you know the gays will be all over it!
