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!

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!
