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!

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?
