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!

I definitely think that forty is the new thirty. It started when Demi Moore came out of hiding for "Charlies Angels: Full Throttle" and she looked better than she ever did before. Many of our favorite stars like Brad Pitt, Angelina, Kate Winslet, Michelle Pfeiffer and others are proving that you can age in Hollywood while retaining your good looks. There are other actors like Vanessa Williams from "Ugly Betty" who admit to using botox, but they still look great and it doesn't affect their appearance.

Other actors and singers have had visible work done and somethings it looks weird. Cher is exempt because she's Cher, but Meg Ryan hasn't been able to move her face in forever, and frankly Madonna scared me a bit in Britney's "For the Record" documentary. Her body is exquisite and youthful, but her face just looks too hard.

Congratulations to M.I.A. I really like her, her music is unique and very good. It annoys me that people gave her flack for performing at the Grammys. Even if I were 9 months pregnant and about to pop I would perform if it were on stage with Jay Z, Kanye West, T.I. and Li'l Wayne. Also, she got named Worst Dressed at the Grammys...ummm it's M.I.A! Like it matters and she was PREGNANT! She is nominated for "Best Original Song" at the Academy Awards for a song in "Slumdog Millionaire" so congrats to her and I hope her baby is happy and healthy.

So, as I posted earlier this week, Perez Hilton will be part of Britney's new tour. He filmed a video which will be used at the beginning of the show. Apparently it was the tour director Jamie King's, who directed Madonna's most recent tours, to use Perez and Britney was all for it. A picture of Perez dressed as Elizabeth I can be seen on Britney's official website: www.britneyspears.com.

Also in Britney news, this week she began filming her video for "If You Seek Amy."
Accoring to In Touch "In the first shot, she’s dressed in a pink tank top and white skirt, with two kids and a husband donning preppy J. Crew attire,” an insider tells In Touch. “Britney hands the paparazzi an apple pie over a white picket fence while the family of actors watch.” The video, directed by Jake Nava, later features a “provocative” Britney in a “black bustier and snakeskin ripped leggings” as she dances in a kitchen scene.

In box office news the remake of "Friday the 13th" looks to debut at number one, with "He's Just Not That Into You", "Taken", "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and "Coraline: rounding out the top five. Frankly I'm not surprised but I thought that "Confessions of a Shopaholic" would have performed better. Final box office figures are not out until Sunday or Monday so we'll see how well it does when all is said and done.

So, in honor of Valentine's Day I watched "A Star Is Born" starring Judy Garland and is one of the best movie musicals ever filmed, "Moulin Rouge!" which only goes to show that with the right material Nicole Kidman is a great actress, and "The Phantom of the Opera" and I am optimistic about the films female lead Emmy Rossum, who was also in "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Poseidon." It was a great way to spend Valentines Day: watching movies in which true love is stifled by death...haha.

So LK, what do you think?

According to new reports Chris Brown will not just be charged with "making a threat." The general concencus is that he will be charged with possession of a deadly weapon because he is trained in the martial arts. Additionally the Los Angeles D.A. will be launching an investigation into the incident. If anyone is hoping to get a glimpse at Brown's mugshot are out of luck due to L.A. law stating that mugshots are not released unless the person poses a substansial threat. If anyone is confused the same happened when Britney Spears was booked due to a hit and run incident in late 2007.

The fall out continues, Chris Brown's Doublemint commercials, and a new one which was set to premiere, has been suspended. Brown's "Got Milk" campaign has also been put on hold and radio stations all across the country have stopped playing Brown's music. Cleveland's WAKS FM 96.5 stated that people are outraged about the event (WELL OBVIOUSLY) and have stopped playing his music so that the public does not think that radio stations are supporting Brown.

Rihanna's grandmother spoke out and said that Rihanna is doing well and denies that her nose was broken. The D.A. who is launching the investigation into the incident also said that the 911 call will not be released to the public but stated that the caller was a woman who was hysterical. It is possible that the caller was Rihanna, or it was the "woman" who reportedly witnessed it.

So, in new developments Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight are leaving "Grey's Anatomy." While they are not Meredith and McDreamy it could signal the beginning of the end of the show due to Heigl and Knight's popularity. When Isaiah Washington left the show there was little fallout due to Washington calling Knight a "fag" on set and then repeating the incident after the show won the Golden Globe for "Best Drama Series." ABC has not released an official statement but apparently Heigl and Knight are still in negotiations. Heigl infamously withdrew her name from an Emmy nomination the year after she won because she felt her work was not befitting a nomination. Perhaps if the creators agree to changes in their characters they will stay, who knwos. Nothing else has been released but if it does we shall keep you posted.

In other news, Alex Rodgriguez apparently is not going to be charged for steroid abuse. Initially congressional members wanted A-Rod to admit to his abuse before a hearing, but have since stated that due to the troubled economy Congress needs to focus it's energy on more important matters. But they have stated that they would like A-Rod to join an Anti-Drug Education Program for children thus making what is negative become positive. I think this is a good idea because unlike other baseball players Rodriguez has been very honest in his admission and he is not alone in the sport who used steroids.

In A-Rod related news, Madonna could have one of the top grossing tours of all time. She extended her "Sticky and Sweet Tour" adding summer dates and they sold out within mere minutes. Unfortunately she has added no new shows in the United States and is instead focuses on areas that she did not cover as of yet. No doubt the extension of the tour is due to her and Guy Ritchie's divorce, giving her more freedom to tour.

So, in frivilous gossip news something on www.perezhilton.com is stirring. He posted earlier today saying that he had a secret and has been posting small posts that are tid bits of Britney Spears lyrics. Can't wait to see what is up.

So, it's 1:02 am and I just checked out Perez Hilton and he is going to be part of Britney's "Circus Tour." He isn't saying much else besides that but more will be revealed in the coming weeks....I'm excited!
