Sorry about the lack of updates as of late. I have been quite busy, between work and family stuff, any how and away I go.Last night, Georgia native Stephanie Edwards was the latest contestant cut from American Idol season six after viewers cast some 30 million votes.. After her performance of Dusty Springfield’s “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me,” judge Simon Cowell said she lost the edge that got her into the competition. Despite giving a well-received performance Tuesday, Chris Richardson barely edged out Edwards to round out the top 10. I still wonder what the judges opinions effect the voting public. I know that my 4 favorites are still in it, Chris Singh, Blake Lewis, Melinda Dolittle and Jordan Sparks.

This is going to be a smallish update today, as I have a lot going on.  And away I go.
 

Model/actress (and I use that term actress loosely) Carmen Electra was left embarrassed at a New York fashion show on Wednesday when she slipped and fell on her butt. Ironically, the star boasted she’d never had a fashion show faux pas minutes before hitting the catwalk at cosmetic giant Max Factor’s Charity Fashion Show.  She told TV cameras, “I’ve never fallen on the runway, knock on wood!”  I wonder how long that video is up on youtube.
 

Comedian Sinbad has laughed off reports he died of a heart attack last Saturday, after website Wikipedia.org stated he had passed away.  Wikipedia describes itself as ‘the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit,’ and is used by internet surfers across the world. The entry for Sinbad was incorrectly edited last weekend by an unknown user.  The actor – born David Adkins – realized something was wrong when he started getting hundreds of phone calls, emails and text messages from people concerned about his whereabouts.  And despite the mix-up, the 50-year-old actor accepts the mistake could easily be made in the future.  Now only if they could resurrect his career, than things will be golden.

Christina Aguleria insists she has “grown sexually” since releasing her debut hit “Genie In A Bottle,” because she now feels empowered by her sexuality.  The 26-year-old singer believes she has matured since the 1999 song, and admits her sexual confidence helps her take a commanding role in all situations.  She says, “I’m not the same person who released ‘Genie In A Bottle’ and then ‘Dirrty.’ I have this overconfidence with my sexuality because I feel empowered by it, and I love being in control of every facet of what I do.”  That might explain the multiple piercings and her naked Sundays.
 

OK 2 more stories to report than I am out the door.
‘American Idol’ season five champ Taylor Hicks spoke with People magazine about how he lost 22 pounds from his 6′1″ frame since winning on the FOX hit show in May. Hicks dumped fast food and such southern comforts as fried chicken, instead going for salads, brown rice, fish and chicken noodle soup. “It’s good for your throat,” he says. “It’s also comforting, but it’s light.” The 30-year-old, now at 193 lbs, also is following a serious exercise regimen, running for 45 minutes every other day, no matter where he is.  He always did appear to be a little doughy on the show.  I mean he is 50 or so.  Or at least he appears to be 50.
 

And finally,
Carol Burnett has filed a $2 million copyright infringement lawsuit against 20th Century Fox, claiming her cleaning woman character was portrayed on the animated series Family Guy.  The U.S. District Court lawsuit, which was filed Thursday, said the Fox show didn’t have the 73-year-old comedian’s permission to include her cleaning woman character, Charwoman, in an April 2006 episode.  The episode shows Charwoman as a porno-shop maid, and it uses what the lawsuit called an “altered version” of Burnett’s theme music. The characters in the show also perform Burnett’s signature ear tug, the lawsuit said.  OK, Go get them Carol.  You hold your head high when you sue a cartoon.

Here we go bitches, it is on, on like snow in March. Wait, What?Angelina Jolie yesterday completed adoption procedures in Vietnam for her new son, Pax Thien (“Peaceful Sky”). Little Pax Thien is expected to be back in the States with Brad Pitt and Angelina by this weekend. Well now, they are just becoming a modern day Brady Bunch. I just wonder when Maddox will start wearing his hair in curls.

The Notorious B.I.G., who has been dead for over a decade, has the number one album this week. His greatest hits album has sold 90,000 copies. And Fergie has the number one single in the country with “Glamorous”. I wonder when the Buddy Holly album or John Lennon will be number one again?

Simon Cowell is claiming on 60 Minutes that he is bigger than Bruce Springsteen, quite similar to a claim the Beatles made in the 60s that they were bigger than Jesus. Cowell tells the show that he was once offered $100,000 to watch and judge a couple in their 50s having sex. God I would judge a couple having sex for 20 bucks! And if I needed to join in, with no gay stuff, 15 bucks.

Britney Spears, still in rehab, has reportedly started dating a guy that she met in AA and plans to move in with him after she is released from rehab. He was talking about their love on TMZ yesterday. Do we smell a relapse? Because I sure as hell do.

Fans of Britney Spears have poured their hearts out on the troubled pop star’s website in a series of touching posts after the singer’s family asked them to send messages of support. Spears is said to be “deeply touched” by the response of devotees from all around the world who have taken the time to write supportive notes to her. The singer has been unable to access the messages of support because rules at Malibu, California rehab center Promises forbid her from using the internet – but many have been passed on to her by friends and relatives.

There are reports out this morning that Madonna will appear naked during her guest appearance on “Nip/Tuck” next season. We hear that this may include a sex scene with playboy Dr. Christian Troy, played by Julian McMahon. I don’t know, at Madonna’s ripe old age of 50, I personally don’t want to see her nekid.

Ok I have 2 more stories to report today. Tori Spelling and her husband, Dean McDermott, welcomed their first child yesterday at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Liam Aaron McDermott, delivered via cesarean section, was 6 pounds, 6 ounces. Tori’s mother, Candy, who she has been feuding with behind the scenes, was there for the birth. They’re saying that the baby is bringing them together. So I guess I can no longer chant Donna Martin Sperminates. Damn it.

And finally, Kid Rock is under investigation in his home state of Michigan after a 28-year-old woman claimed he assaulted her in his home last week. The alleged victim has filed a police report with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department. The woman claims she and a male friend were invited back to Kid Rock’s home in Macomb County after meeting him in a Clarkston bar on March 8. She alleges the threesome listened to music and drank alcohol but the fun ended when Kid Rock, real name Bob Ritchie, assaulted his guest as she attempted to leave the low-key party because he wanted her to spend the night, according to a police source. Rock’s accuser claims the star grabbed her by the back of the neck twice when she was outside his home and pushed her towards her car.
