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!
