If Kate Winlset won I'd jump around screaming: YES! YES! YES! FINALLY! Watch her speech and absorb every word, call you and collectively scream: YES! YES! YES! FINALLY! 'Bout time! and the likes.

People who can do no wrong are:
Sarah Michelle Gellar: Loved her since "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and I think she and the show were really over looked come award seasons because it was an amazing show and all it got were 11 nominations, won 3, but no nominations for the actors, and a Golden Globe nomination for SMG in 2001. She is also in some of my favorite movies: Cruel Intentions, I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2. I think she is a really good actress and I hope that she gets big recognition in the future.

Leona Lewis: Right now she is poised to be the "Next Mariah Carey" but I think that in time she will be merely "The Leona Lewis" I think she is a refreshing diva: Mariah is established, Celine is Adult Contemporary, Whitney is apparently making a comeback, and Beyonce annoys the hell out of me. I remember watching the original video for "Bleeding Love" back in October of 2007 on www.perezhilton.com and I fell in love with it and downloaded it at my first available oppertunity when it was released in January of this year, got the album the day it came out and I really love her new song "Run." She isn't fakely humble like Beyonce, she seems so sweet and I want big things for her.

Ellen and Oprah: I love them both, I love that Ellen is just fun and she can be political when it is necessary. I remember when Lawrence King was killed in February and she said: He was not a second class citizen and I am not a second class citizen. She's really incredible and I always liked her. I love Oprah because she is Oprah! In all honesty there is this je ne sais quio about her that is just appealing: she really touches people and reaches them like no one else was able to.

Rosie O'Donnell: I know she is loud and vocal and sometimes seems to be obnoxious but lets be honest, back in 2000 if you imagined being famous you wanted to be on her show. I like that she is blunt, honest, and doesn't back down.

Natalie Portman: She is one of my favorite actresses, gorgeous, talented and funny. I saw an her interview on "Inside the Actors Studio" and she is so cool. I'd love to meet her.

Reese Witherspoon: How can anyone have a problem with Reese, I mean really!?!?!

Speaking of another Tennessee woman: Dolly Parton. I listened to her a little when I was younger but when I got older and began to listen to her I was struck by the amazing fact that she has written every song she has ever recorded. Her version of "I Will Always Love You" in my opinion is better than Whitney's because while it lacks the intense vocal power of Whitney's performance, Dolly wrote the song and understands the emotional meaning of the song. I also love her songs, "Little Sparrow", "Here You Come Again" and "Travelin' Thru" and when I saw her perform at the 2006 Academy Awards she had such stage presence, she doesn't need any dancers or gimmicks, just Dolly, and she's just great.

Liza Minnelli and Barbra Streisand: Time to throw in my gay flag and say it: I love them. Along with Bette Davis and Judy Garland (who are dead so I didn't put them down) they are the two big singers still living and are so multi-talented. Actresses with dramatic and comedic talent, singers with incredible and unique voices, and I love how Liza talks freely about her mother, alcohol addiction and keeps on going, and Barbra is just an incredible singer, and she is an extremely liberal democrat so thats good!

Last not but not least, Michael Jackson: Oh the flack I've gotten from this, I know he polarizes people but he is perhaps the most talented man of the 20th and 21th century. I remember first buying "Thriller" the summer before 7th grade and I couldn't wait to get home to listen to it, I could feel something saying that it was special, and then I put it in and I didn't stop listening to it until I got another MJ cd. There is a song for every mood, emotion, scenario and I get him: I understand why he is the way he is and why he is so eccentric and has done some of the things he has done. AND NO HE DID NOT MOLEST ANYONE!

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?
