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?

It's funny, the first Kanye song I downloaded was "Love Lockdown" because it was so different. I do agree with you that he is definitely one of the greatest living rappers, but the reason I like him is that he doesn't act like most rappers. He is a diva of course, but he dresses different, doesn't have bling, and his songs are always about something, they defy standard rap material. Also he is not homophobic at all and doesn't like to use the word faggot which is always a plus. I don't think that the sales show a downturn in his popularity, not every album can outsell the last album. It's his fourth consecutive album to debut at #1 and to sell as much as he did in todays record sales is impressive.

I still can't understand why Katy Perry got shafted, from what I've read her album was met with mixed critical reception, but considering the strength of "I Kissed A Girl" and "Hot N Cold" she should have been nominated for Best New Artist. Now, Leona Lewis got three nominations: Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Bleeding Love" and Best Pop Vocal Album for "Spirit" but she deserved a Best New Artist considering "Bleeding Love" was a huge hit and her album is a hit as well! But in other Leona news, she has a new song "Run" which is a cover of the Snow Patrol song, and it is exquisite! The only problem is that it is only technically available in the United Kingdom and Europe, but listen to it/or watch the video on youtube, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcpWQC9prm0. But in good news, one of my favorite celebrities Kathy Griffin (so funny!) was nominated for Best Comedy Album for her CD "For Your Consideration" it's soo funny and I listen to it all the time, I hope she wins it!

Haha, I agree about Anderson Cooper, he counts as hot and adorable, which is hard to do you are either one or the other but he does it both. Apparently he is gay, but I understand his privacy about it, it has nothing to do with his job. I think that's the distinction: if you are an actor or singer or entertainer you're personal life is as important to people as your career. So if you are an actor or singer coming out is necessary because then there is not hiding. But if you are a journalist your personal life has nothing to do with it unless you are a personality like Katie Couric. So, if Anderson is gay but in the closet I see nothing wrong with it...as long as he is happy.

So, where has Kelly Clarkson been?

So, Kanye West's new album debuted at number one, but was the lowest first weeks sales since his debut album, "The College Dropout." Do you think it was because the singles are not what people typically expect, or because there was no hype like the last album being released against 50 Cent. Or is it that people aren't feeling Kanye's attitude and the like. What do you think LK?
Additionally the Grammy nominations were announced and I'm shocked that Leona Lewis didn't get nominated for "Best New Artist" and that Katy Perry was only nominated in the category of "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" for the "I Kissed A Girl", I thought she would get at least get a "Best New Artist" nominations, considering the song was number one for seven weeks.
So, tonight I watched "Last Holiday" and I really like Queen Latifah, what do you think of her? Apparently she is a lesbian, does it matter if she is and would anyone really care?
