Sorry to not have posted in FOREVER but you know with school and extracurriculars I just haven't had the time!

Well, in Britney news, "Radar" was just announced as the fourth single off of "Circus." The song was originally released on her previous album "Blackout" and was the planned fourth single but because at the time of the announcement she began recording material that would eventually become her new album the plans to release "Radar" were shelved. I like the song but I think what will make the single really pop and stand out is a KICK-ASS music video. I loved "If U Seek Amy" but I think she needs to have a glitzy, dancy, and over-the-top music video to really push "Radar" into the stratosphere.

In other Britney news last week she announced that she would be extending the European leg of her "The Circus: Starring Britney Spears Tour" beyond the planned dates in London, Manchester and Dublin and stops include Paris, Antwerp (Belgium), Copenhagen, Helsinki (Finland), St. Petersburg, which will be her first time ever performing there, Warsaw and Berlin. There have been no official plans to extend the tour into Asia and Australia but if the European leg of the tour is as successful as the North America trek than the tour may be extended. The tour has sold out to 100% capacity for the entire duration of the tour and has been the #1 tour in the United States since it began in March.

People Magazines "Most Beautiful" issue hit the newsstands last week with Christina Applegate on the cover. I know that some people were upset that Robert Pattinson wasn't the main focus, although he was on the cover, but come on the woman had breast cancer and a double masectomy and she isn't even 40! Give her the DAMN cover.

This was almost a month ago but "Grey Gardens" the HBO biopic starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange debuted to BIG numbers and rave reviews. The film was the fourth highest debut for HBO in the past five years and by the end of the first weekend the film had been watched by 2.5-3 million viewers, which would have put it at #2 at the box office if it had been theatrically released. All indications point to Barrymore securing an Emmy nomination for her portrayl of Little Edie. Go Drew!

Addtionally, I just need to write a little something about Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean. People were all in a tiffy because Perez Hilton called her a "dumb bitch" on his blog and I believe that he had every right to. The Q&A portion of the pagaent isn't about personal opinion it is about how the contestant answers the question. She did a terrible job answering the question and her answer was offensive.

Now she has become the public figure for the National Organization for Marriage which is a national organization against gay marriage and all types of civil unions which extend rights and priveliges to same-sex couples. She is doing herself no favors and now she is underfire because semi-nude pictures have been released where she is in underwear but topless and covering her breasts with her arms. The problem is that when contestants sign up for Miss California USA or Miss USA in general they have to disclose if they have ever posed for semi-nude or nude photos, which could make them ineligible, and also state if to their knowledge there could be semi-nude or nude photos that could potentially surface. She did not disclose that informations so now she may lose her crown, I saw good riddance to bad taste.

Can I also say that having seen "Milk" and known about Anita Bryant she really reminds me of her. Anita Bryant was second or first runner up of "Miss America" and was a moron who spewed hate speech across the country. Also, I just found out that Prejean and I share the same birthday but two years apart! OH GOD I HAVE TO SHARE A BIRTHDAY WITH THAT CUNT! (Yes I know that word is offensive but honestly what other word could you use to describe her?!?!)

So LK what do you think of Susan Boyle on "Britain's Got Talent?" I think she is phenomenal and she certainly has staying power in the UK. Also, in regards to her "makeover" I say let her get dolled up...no woman/or man, in their right mind, would pass up the opportunity to spruce themselves up a bit. Meanwhile on "American Idol" it looks like Adam Lambert is a shoo-in to win this season of the talent competition. If he does than it will make him the first gay contestant to ever win the show, the problem is that he was not publically come out as gay even though there are pictures of him as a drag queen and/or making out with men. When asked about his sexuality he was quoted as saying, "I am what I am." Nice way to quote a song lyric from "La Cage aux Folles" which is about drag queens. I have no problem with him winning although I wish he could have come out on the show that way when he won he was open about his sexuality, instead of him potentially winning and coming out after the fact.

Additionally, according to published reports Simon Cowell reportedly makes $30 millin a season for the show while Paula Abdul makes a paltry $2 million in comparison. Of course he created the show and is the head judge but I think that Adbul should make more. As of this season her contract with the show is expired and she has yet to resign with the series, if she doesn't I think it will be detrimental to both Abdul's career, which was risen from the dead due to "American Idol" and the show itself because the judges are Simon, Paula and Randy, sorry Kara but they were a threesome for seven seasons before you came along.

Well that's all I'm gonna write for now but I PROMISE to post more and more frequently!

Finally you posted LK!

I haven't been watching "American Idol" this season, and I honestly feel like I'm kinda done with show. I still hope that it is a rating success and produces successful artists but it has become so much more than a talent competition. I miss the old "American Idol" where it was just about these literally unknown, untouched singers.

When I first saw Lindsay Lohan's "Funny or Die" skit I laughed out loud because I thought it was really funny, but now that I watch it I still think it is funny but I also think it is a bit sad. It is great to see Lohan giving the finger to all the naysayers but she does seem lost. I think that she really did have a bond with Ronson and anyone who is heartbroken is a bit lost afterwards, but right now it seems reminiscent of Britney about two years ago where she just doesn't have anyone really helping her. I think if Lohan sort of takes some time for herself, pulls herself together and gets some good people around her she can really come back in a big way. She is very talented but at this point no one really knows if she is dependable. If Britney can resurrect her career, so can Lohan.

While Kim Kardashian can be included in the category of celebrities that are famous for merely famous, I actually don't take issue with her because she knows that and doesn't take herself so seriously *cough* Paris Hilton *cough*. Case in point, Kim Kardashian was nominated for "Worst Actress" at this years Razzie Awards for her role in "Disaster Movie" but when asked about it she basically said that she wasn't offended about the nomination and took the whole thing lightly. Also I will say that "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" it a guilty pleasure of mine.

Speaking of guilty pleasures, there is a show on MTV called "College Life" that premiered this past week after the new episode of "The Hills" and I think I am hooked already. It follows four college freshman during their freshman year at college in Wisconsin. It isn't like "The Hills" because all the students have personal, hand held cameras. I don't know how real their experiences are but it looks juicy.

Ok, sorry for not posting in 4 years, Frank. It has been wild. Ok---so here we go.

First, American Idol. Lil and Anoop need to go, I don't know how they're still around. I liked Lil in the first few weeks, but she has steadily sucked, and Anoop is just boring. Allison and Adam are my picks for the final two, but I really like Kris too. Adam Lambert's voice=sex. I know he's super gay, but he is really hot.

In other gay news, I am really sad about Lindsay and Sam. I liked them as a couple, and apparently LaLo isn't taking very well, reportedly "stalking" Samantha Ronson. I tend to think she's doing things all ex-girlfriends who are destroyed by a breakup do, and the media needs to leave her alone. Lindsay has proven that maybe she is over her crazy days and is even able to laugh at them with her new FunnyorDie video. I am pulling for Lindsay, I think she can act, and she just had a few trainwreck days, like everyone else in Hollywood. Really, like everyone else in their late teens/early twenties.

Mel Gibson's divorce...hmm...is it too much to say "TEAM MEL GIBSON'S EX WIFE?"

And something that happened a few weeks ago, I wanted to blog about. I have to applaud Kim Kardashian for her reaction when a magazine accidentally put pictures of her pre-airbrush on its website. She was honest and not mad at all, when I think a lot of other socialite types would have sued the magazine for all its worth. Big ups, KK.

Bravo's A-list awards were the other night. Kathy Griffin hosted and was hilarious, her mom appeared, she tounge kissed Aubrey O'Day, which was as uncomfortable as it was hilarious. Kate Winslet won A-list Kate. (Duh!) But Kate Flannery, better known as Meredith from the Office, accepted on her behalf. The Office took home A list series, Neil Patrick Harris and Chelsea Handler won awards, and the L Word's Laurel Holloman accepted the award for TV's Sexiest Moment for Bette and Tina's elevator scene last season. Holloman got huge applause for her "Down with Prop 8" speech closer, woooo.

Drew Barrymore and Grey Gardens. I'm excited, I really hope she's good and I kind of think she really will be. She's artsy and smart enough to direct, and I really think she has it in her to do serious acting. So, what's going on with her and Justin Long? JUICY.

So, I know I promised to write more, but both LK and I have been incredibly busy. So lets just do a run down of some events from the past week.

So, Lady GaGa's latest single "Poker Face" was number on the Billboard Hot 100 last week, but was knocked off the top position by the Black Eyed Peas new single, which is their first number one on the Billboard Hot 100. But don't feel too bad for Lady GaGa, she is now only the third female artist to have her first two singles hit number one, the first was Mariah Carey in 1990 and the second was Christina Aguilera in 2000.

Jessica Simpson has reportedly been dropped from Columbia Nashville after her country album "Do You Know" stalled failing to be certfied gold. Her father has released a statment basically saying that she was only on loan to Columbia Nashville but has always been an Epic Records artist and is recording a new pop album. This isn't exactly true because Jessica's first few albums: Sweet Kisses, Irresistable, and In This Skin, were released under Columbia Records. Part of me wishes that she would stop recording. I know that sounds harsh but she is having failure after failure that she would need to release a hands down great album to be back in terms of recording.

Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson have broken up. Lindsay sat down with US Weekly saying that she was hurt by the break up but is doing okay. Sources say that Ronson still cares for Lindsay but cannot be with her due to her emotional problems and alcoholism. Reportedly Ronson's family is seeking a restraining order against Lohan who went on Twitter saying that Ronson cheated on her.

Miley Cyrus, whose new single "The Climb" has become her highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 has been crowned the new "Queen of the Tweens" but only 10% feel that she is a good role model for tweens and teens. The Jonas Brothers came in second in terms of popularity and Britney comes third, which doesn't shock me because her music is no longer geared towards the tween set. Taylor Swift was voted the best influnece among tweens and teens, which is good because she is very talented and successful and appears to be very down to earth.

Speaking of Britney, she is reportedly getting very close to Kevin Federline while on the road for her tour in support of her latest album "Circus." Reports also state that Britney is close to extending the tour beyond the US and England, possibly to Australia and other parts of Europe. If she does I think she can do it because people doubted she could get as far with this tour and she has so many fans all over the world who are itching to see her in concert. It's definitely worth it!

Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni of "Law and Order: SVU" currently have a 350,000 per episode deal with NBC, but their contract is bound to expire at the end of the season. Apparently they have teamed up to demand more money, makes sense considering they make the show. NBC has reportedly threatened to replace the actors, which I think would kill the series. I hope this can get resolved because I love them and their characters.

Kathy Griffin is appearing in the upcoming issue of OK Magazine sporting a hot body. Griffin is 48 but has reportedly not gone under the knife since 2003. The pictures are very good and good for you Miss Kathy, continue to break out of the D List. The fifth season of her show "My Life On the D-List" began filming in November of 2008 and should be premiering sometime at the beginning of summer.

Congrats to the states of Iowa and Vermont for voting to legalize gay marriage in the states. The governor of Vermont vetoed the passing but the veto was overridden guarenteeing the rights for same sex couples to marry. Additionally Washington D.C. has voted to recognize same-sex marriage performed in other states.

In sad news, Madonna sought to adopt an infant girl named Mercy from Malawi last week but was denied by a Malwaian judge who found it within the girls best interest to stay at the orphanage. Members of the family are supporting Madonna in the adoption matter disagreeing with the judges decision. Madonna adopted a young boy named David from the country in 2006, but the adoption was not finalized until last year. In other Madonna news she has donated upwards to $500,000 in relief to the Italian region of Abruzzo, where her ancestors lived up until 1919, and is in the studio recording new material for a third Greatest Hits album, and the last album her contract with Warner Brothers. I for one am very much looking forward to the new material but I hope she doesn't work with Timbaland because "Hard Candy" was not as good as I wanted it to be.

Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neals son, Redmond, was released from rehab last week but a few days later was arrested for heroin possession. Redmond was sent to rehab as part of an agreement following assault charges a year ago. Leaving the clinic was in violation of his parole and with the new possession charges he is currently in jail where his father feels it is within his best interest to stay. Farrah Fawcett has not commented but is still fighting cancer, where the reports of her condition vary from good to very bad. Our thoughts are with Farrah as she deals with this, hopefully you make it through your cancer battle.

There is so much more to report but who has the time, but "Iron Man 2" has begun filming so that means that in about a years time we will have another Gwyneth Paltrow film in our lives. JOY!

Sorry for not writing in nearly two weeks! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. On Monday March 16th Lauren and I saw Britney Spears in concert and it was AMAZING! No lie, no matter what you think of Britney she was incredible. While it was apparent that she was lip syncing it didn't matter because when it comes to pop stars like Britney (Janet and Madonna among them) it doesn't matter how they sing, it matters how good the show is itself and it was incredible. Totally worth every penny spent.

Speaking of Britney, she reportedly was offered up to 3 million to write her autobiography, but turned down the offers for more money. I'm not surprised but I would love for her to release an autobiography because if she is honest about her life it would be a fascinating portrait of an American icon.

In other celebrity news, we have to talk about two sad passings. Jane Goody died of cancer last week at the age of 27. She was diagnosed with cancer while appearing on the Indian version of "Big Brother" back in the summer of 2008. Her cancer was pretty advanced and she passed away at home surrounded by her loved ones. While she was in the hospital she recieved a call from one of her idols Mr. Michael Jackson, he was in London announcing his "This Is It" concerts at the O2 Arena.

The other passing is equally tragic, Natasha Richardson died last week after suffering head trauma while skiing in Montreal. She reportedly was not wearing a helmet and suffered internal bleeding which progressed to causing her to be brain dead. She is survived by her mother, the legendary actress Vanessa Redgrave, husband Liam Neilsen, two sons, and her sister Joely Richardson who appears in the FX show "Nip/Tuck." She rose to prominence in the biopic "Patty Hearst" and won a Tony in 1998 for playing Sally Bowles in the revival of "Cabaret." She was also nominated for a Tony for her work in the Broadway play "Closer." Julia Roberts played her character in the film adaption.

So, Portia de Rossi has a new show on ABC called "Better Off Ted" and it is HILARIOUS. I don't know if it will get a second season but I suggest you check it out because it is a great satirical comedy about corporate America. I hope that de Rossi gets projects from this because she is really underrated as an actress and I think she has the chops to be a huge star, beyond being Ellen DeGenereses wife.

Zack Efron has pulled out of the upcoming film production of "Footloose." The film whcih made Kevin Bacon a household name was made as a musical which is the basis of the upcoming film and he has withdrawn because he wants to be taken seriously as an actor and no longer wants to do musicals. In a way it makes sense but I think it is stupid because he got his start in "High School Musical" but still needs to prove his chops as a lead in a film. While I probably wouldn't have seen "Footloose" he could have shot himself in the foot a bit by dropping out. We'll see how his box office potential stands with the release of his upcoming film "17 Again" with Matthew Perry.

Finally, Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange are appearing in an HBO Film called "Grey Gardens" which is a biopic centered around the aunt and niece of Jackie O. There was a documentary in 1976 called "Grey Gardens" which has become a cult classic, and the film looks SO GOOD. I like Drew Barrymore, I think she is a legitimate actress and I am anxious to see the film. If it is as good as the trailer suggests I see an Emmy nomination in Drew's future.

With my school's musical production of "Guys and Dolls" a week away I won't be able to post very much but I will do my very best!

George Clooney Returns To E.R.

A clip from the upcoming, and highly anticipated final episode of E.R. in which George Clooney, who became a star due to his work on the show, returns.

Ashlee, let it go. You're never going to gain credibility back as a singer, and I really wish she wouldn't try and act. Wow, TV is all about reviving old series, huh? The 90s were a great time, but maybe we should let them be. I'm anxious to see the new Melrose Place, the new 90210 is really good, with the same bitchiness and bite of the original. Plus Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth, always good. And Tori Spelling made some appearances. No comment on that one.

So, very happy news Mandy Moore has married Ryan Adams in a hush hush ceremony in Georgia. Exciting for them! Congrats. Kelly Clarkson and Kanye performed last night on American Idol and brought down the house. The sent home Jasmine and Jorge last night after the all Michael Jackson performance night. What'd you think of that Franklin? I love it. Kelly recently said she had no desire to have kids, that her job was too selfish and it has been swirling around in the media ever since. I say, back off her. She was being honest, and if she doesn't want kids it really isn't any of our business.

Cleo, the 3-D Rock musical I've been anticipating for almost a year is now in 'pre-production' accoring to IMDB.com. Stephen Soderbergh is signed on to direct, and it of course stars the one and only Catherine Zeta-Jones as Cleo, and they're reportedly waiting on Hugh Jackman to sign on. Woo.

In sad news, Bristol Palin and her baby's daddy, Levi Johnson have called it quits. The couple apparently still wants to raise thier child together but have no plans to continue to date.

If there is any hope in Joaquin Pheonix coming back to earth, this story might dash that. He was playing a Miami club the other night (his new hip hop act) and jumped into the crowd to confront a heckler. Casey Affleck, Joaquin's brother in law and BFF filmed the whole thing. WHY isn't Casey shaking Joaquin by the shoulders?! I know they're both artsy...but come on.

Going along with Rihanna & Chris Brown saga, Rosie O'Donnell and Robyn Givens have both issued warnings to her, more or less saying to leave him. This is of course after Oprah's very heart-felt, very public plea to Rihanna. So, obviously we think she should go, but do you think her staying with him will hurt her career?
