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!
