New Britney Coming Atcha’

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Happy Wednesday Kiddies, and away I go. Man am I getting older and grumpier. I am turning 32 in a couple of days, and I am not dealing with it well.

If anyone does need a new friend, they will have to travel over to La-La Land. Matt Parker and Trey Stone of South Park has signed on for 3 more seasons on Comedy Central. They got $75 Million for the 3 seasons and will have 14 episodes per season. Dan, that is some Seinfeld money.

MP

Britney Spears will release her first single, Gimme More, off her new album next week. Wait does this mean Train-wreck Britney is through. I might kind of miss that. Oh who am I kidding, I can bet you Britney’s new song will suck more than Jenna Jameson.

BS

There is a new celebrity hot couple out in Hollywood. Rihanna and Shia Labeouf are a new item! Man I wonder if ever pees on her, she will use her Umbrella? Oh that old gag.

OK 2 more stories to report than I am going to go drown my age sorrows in a jack and Coke.

After pulling the plug on her U.S. tour, British soul star Amy Winehouse has now canceled all of her upcoming U.S. appearances, including her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Winehouse was set to strut her stuff on September 9 in Las Vegas, but in a statement to E!Online.com, her label Universal Records said that the singer’s schedule had been cleared in a “continued effort to support [her] well being.” The star collapsed earlier this month following three days of hard partying and was admitted to a London hospital. Oh that Wino and her nutty drunken ways.

And finally, Troubled actress/singer Lindsay Lohan has agreed to let her estranged father Michael visit her in rehab, according to reports. The star is currently at a Utah clinic, but has given the green light for a visit from her dad - with her mom Dina allegedly lifting a restraining order which was placed on her ex-husband earlier this year. A source tells the New York Post, “”It was actually her (Lindsay) younger brother, Michael’s, idea. It’s a part of the healing process. Lindsay will see him later this week, but she will have counselors with her. It will not be alone. Dina thinks it is a good idea. Well that is like Michael Lohan getting let loose in a strip club. That guy is a total horn dog jackass.

Owen Wilson in trouble

Monday, August 27th, 2007

Happy Monday kiddies and away I go.

I hate to bring everyone down for my first story of the day, but here it goes.   Owen Wilson was hospitalized yesterday after attempting suicide! Star Magazine is reporting he sliced his wrists and took a lot of pills. He is the hospital still and in stable condition. Oh wow. I never saw that one coming. I guess he has some issues to work out.

American Idol runner up, Blake Lewis, signed with the same label as Jordin Sparks. He is planning on releasing the album later this year. I think I might be downloading some of The Human Beatboxes tracks for my Ipod, I enjoyed him on AI.

Lindsey Lohan copped a plea deal yesterday. In a statement she admitted to being addicted to alcohol and drugs. She pleaded guilty to 9 misdemeanor charges. By law, she has to serve a minimum 4 days in jail, but because she had already served time when she was arrested, the judges ordered her to one day in jail. She must serve the day by January 18th. Just one day? Wow. Lucky!

LL

Speaking of lucky deals and celebrities, Nicole Ritchie got the deal of all deals. She checked in and out of jail in 82 minutes!!!!! Damn, 82 minutes. Are you sure she didn’t escape through the jail bars, because she is sooo damn skinny?

The active investigation against Britney Spears for child abuse may have been started from a complaint made by her ex Kevin Federline. The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services is conducting an investigation against the pop star after allegations of neglect ended up in legal papers filed Monday by K-Fed’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan. However TMZ.com reports the complaints against Spears are not for physical abuse, but there are allegations that her two sons have poor dental hygiene, sleeping and eating habits. Yeah, good call K-Fed. Kick her where it counts, with her Kids.

2 more stories to report than I am done for the day.

They have announced the new celebrities to participate in Dancing With The Stars, and the level of star power is definitely growing. This season they will have Aaron Carter, Wayne Newton, Mel B from the Spice Girls, Jane Seymour, Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth, Floyd Merewether, Nia Peebles and Lou Ferigno? Wow. 2 people from 90210, And a Spice Girl? I am totally there.

And finally,

Singer/actress Willa Ford has married hockey star Mike Modano after a four year on/off romance. The Dancing With The Stars alum, 26, and Dallas Stars player, 37, wed on Saturday in a private ceremony on an Athens, Texas ranch. Ford, who previously dated Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, walked down the aisle in a bridal gown she designed herself.  The couple announced their engagement in November. Wow, that is just fantastic. Good for her.

Happy Wednesday aka HUMP DAY kiddies, and away I go.

Joey Fatone, who also did Dancing With The Stars, has a new gig. He just signed on with the TV Guide channel to host red carpet arrivals at shows like the Emmy’s and Oscars with Lisa Rinna on the TV Guide Channel. Wow it appears that Dancing With The Stars is a good vehicle for people. Slater, Jerry Springer, now Joey Fatone have all had success after the show. Good for them.

JF

Star Magazine is reporting Tom Brady and Giselle are planning to get married some time this winter. Eh, Giselle, she is totally old news. 1999 called they want there supermodel back.

TB

Chris Brown was attacked by fans in London the other day. They came from both sides of the street and tackled him and tried ripping off his clothes. Don’t when you hate it when that happens to you. Because I know it happens to me on almost a daily basis.

MTV announced more performers for the MTV Video Music Awards on September 9th. They include: Nelly Furtado, Gym Class Heroes, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, and Common. They join already announced performers: Kanye West, Timbaland, Fall Out Boy, Chris Brown, Amy Winehouse, Foo Fighters, and Rihanna. One of the big acts they signed is a duet between Madonna and Justin Timberlake. Now that should be interesting.

Ryan Seacrest will host the Emmy Awards September 16th in LA on Fox. Hum, that would be like Simon hosting a personality contest. Or Paula hosting a Sanity contest. Or Randy hosting a speedo wearing contest.

Actor/comedian Bill Murray could face a drunk driving charge in Sweden after he was found cruising around in a golf cart in downtown Stockholm. The star was stopped by police in the early hours of Monday morning and alcohol was smelled on his breath, according Stockholm police Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund. Holmlund says, “He refused to blow in the (breathalyzer) instrument, citing American legislation. So we applied the old method - a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in.” Murray - who was in the city attending a golf tournament - signed a document admitting he was driving under the influence and permitted a police officer to enter a guilty plea on his behalf if the case goes to court. Well that is just fantastic. How Mel Gibson of him.

Music biz insiders are shaking their heads in disbelief after troubled pop star Britney Spears rejected the idea of recording a duet with former lover Justin Timberlake, according to reports. The singer, who is being called “sick” and “crazy” for her decision, was scheduled to reunite with her old flame to produce a comeback track produced by Timbaland, but backed out at the last minute. A source tells PageSix, “Timbaland set aside a week out of his crazy schedule to do this - and then, just before she was supposed to fly out, Britney abruptly canceled the session and refused to do the song. Um. Has Britney gone Coo coo Bananas? I thinks she has got to lay off the stupid pills.

bs

And finally,

Well it appears that rapper Foxy Brown is going to jail. TMZ.com reports the rapper, who is three months pregnant and engaged, was ordered to serve time for violating her probation.

Foxy will be in the slammer until her next hearing on September 5. Her new home will be at a women’s jail on Rikers Island. The MC has been on probation for a 2004 assault involving two nail salon workers. Last week, she was accused of lying to police during a traffic stop - only a day after surrendering to authorities for allegedly assaulting her neighbor. The star was stopped by officers in New Jersey on August 15 for talking on her cell phone while driving and failing to stop at a stop sign. She was issued with seven traffic tickets. The incident came just one day after surrendering to authorities for allegedly assaulting her neighbor, Arlene Raymond, who Foxy is accused of assaulting with her Blackberry phone in an altercation reportedly stemming from the volume of the rapper’s car stereo in Brooklyn. Oh that Foxy Brown. Knocked up and in the slammer. Hey I think I saw a movie about that once.

Happy Monday my loyal readers, and away I go.

Current American Idol Jordin Sparks signed her record deal over the weekend with Jive Records. The CD is coming out in November and the first single “Tatoo” hits stores next Tuesday. So what do you guys think. Will she be another Ruben or Fantasia, or will she be a Kelly or Carrie. My vote? Ruben or Fantasia.

17 million people watched the premiere of the High School Musical 2 movie Friday night on the Disney Channel. It was the most watched cable program of all time. The most watched basic cable movie of all time. Also the highest rated television program ever for ages 6-11. I Tivoed it, so please don’t tell me what happened.

David Beckham attracted 66,237 fans (Major Soccer League Record) at the LA Galaxy-NY Red Bulls game Saturday night at Giants Stadium. The Red Bulls average attendance is 11,573! And I thought soccer would never catch on in The US.

There’s a report this morning that Jessica Simpson has broken or fractured her nose. Jessica Simpson said she was shooting her new movie, Major Movie Star, and was running with a gun over her head, fell and broke her nose. Maybe they can fix her nose, the same way they fixed her lips. Can they put Botox in her nose?

Forbes Magazine released it’s list of highest earning hip hop stars. Jay-Z was #1 with $34 million, 50 Cent came in at #2 with $32 million, Diddy was #3 with $28 million, Timbaland came 4th with $21 million, and Dr. Dre made $20 million. My question for you is where is the greatest rapper of all time Kayne West on that list? Or that is at least what he calls himself.

2 more stories to report, than I will be making some dinner. Kevin Federline found some free time to audition for an acting job in between handing out subpoenas to anyone whose ever spoken to his ex-wife Britney Spears. And it looks like he did a good job because K-Fed has signed on to guest star on The CW’s hit show One Tree Hill, according to TMZ.com. Federline will play Jason, the cocky front man of the rock band “No Means Yes,” from the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina. He made his acting debut in an episode of CSI last October. Oh, my bad. I thought One Tree Hill got cancelled a few years ago.

And finally, Real estate mogul turned reality TV star Donald Trump desperately wants to reunite Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton on a celebrity version of The Apprentice. Trump insists the experience would be “a positive thing for them to do” - and says that Paris has already been in contact with show executives to secure a place on the hit show. He tells the New York Post, “We’re negotiating with Britney right now. Can you imagine her doing it? We’re not sure what will happen. She’s a f**king mess. And that little reality show she had did nothing. But she likes the idea of being on television and I think she’d be great.” Even if Trump got one of them, I would totally watch.

Happy Thursday Kiddies, and away I go.

Amy Winehouse has checked out of rehab! She checked out yesterday and reportedly took an immediate helicopter to London for a brain scan. Word is she suffered a seizure during the overdose this past weekend. God how Lindsay of her. That is just not right. Go Back Wino…We will not judge you, just get the help you need.

This next story is about my favorite Mary. Ryan Seacrest will the host a portion of the Super Bowl this year on Fox. He’ll do a red carpet type pre-game on Fox and also host the half time entertainment. The Super Bowl will be at the new stadium in Arizona. Good for him. Leave it to Ryan Seacrest to butch-down the Super Bowl.

Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden will get married next month on Lionel Ritchie’s estate. My question is that will the nuptials be said before or after Nicole drops the soap in jail, or squeezes that watermelon through her peehole.

This story is kind of amusing. Fifty Cent supposedly smashed his office up after finding out his video for “Follow My Love” featuring Robin Thicke was leaked on to the internet before it’s October release.

Pictures are surfacing of Britney Spears and another woman (her former assistant) frolicking in a pool. Several woman, including pornstars, say they have either been kissed or hit on by Britney. They call Britney is a recreational lesbian Man Thank you Britney, Thank you very much. You never cease to amaze me.

Paris Hilton and sister Nicki are shopping themselves to Las Vegas clubs. They will appear at the club for $500,000 for the night. OK, Paris, I will give you 20 bucks, some nasty cheap champagne, some cherry flavored condoms, and some nose candy. Deal?

And finally

God, is the Hollywood pool to dip your mule in getting smaller and smaller. John Mayer gets around. First he’s seen having lunch with Mandy Moore and now there’s word that he’s moved on to Justin Timberlake’s old flame Cameron Diaz. 29-year-old Mayer and 34-year-old Diaz were seen out and about Tuesday night in New York City, according to Us Weekly magazine. The actress is in the “Big Apple” filming the new comedy ‘What Happens in Vegas.’ Well isn’t that special. Does this mean now that Justin and Jessica Simpson will now date.

Happy Tuesday kiddies and away I go.  Sorry about the delay, I have been BUSY.
 

In the does anybody actually give a damn department, David Lee Roth and Van Halen are doing a reunion tour.  People are taking bets on how long it will take for Eddie and David to get into an altercation.  The band has a new member, Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen’s 16 year old son who plays bass.  The kicker is that Eddie’s ex-wife and Wolfgang’s mother, Valerie Berteneli will be going on tour as well.  Well that is kind of interesting I guess.

VH 

Amy Winehouse is off the tour and in rehab. She entered a rehab center this past weekend for addiction to cocaine and heroin. Her husband Blake also checked himself in for his own addictions.  Well I guess when you write a song about rehab, and you actually go to rehab, there might be a smidge of irony there.

James Gandolfini has a new project with HBO. He’ll play a real life corporate sports scout, Sonny Vaccarro in an HBO movie. Vaccarro’s the guy who got Michael Jordan to sign the first million dollar shoe deal with Nike.  Eh, he will always be Tony Soprano to me and millions of others.

E! Online is reporting that Britney Spears will be a surprise opening act for the MTV Video Music Awards September 9th in Vegas.  Eh I have heard that before.  Frankly I will believe that train wreck when I see it.

I do have some sad news to report.  Merv Griffin passed away over the weekend, losing his long battle with prostate cancer.  He will be sorely missed.  I actually remember watching him when I was home sick during school with my grandfather.  He was quite talented.

Rush Hour 3 won the box office war with $50 million. Seventeen million less than Rush Hour 2.  I didn’t see it and have no desire to.

R&B heartthrob Usher may have wed his pregnant fiancée Tameka Foster on August 3, but his mother wasn’t there. People magazine reports that Jonetta Patton preferred to spend the day at the spa than witness her 28-year-old son marry the 37-year-old stylist at his lawyer’s office in Atlanta. Recent reports have suggested Patton was fired as Usher’s manager earlier this year when she disagreed with his engagement to Foster. This may have been the reason the couple canceled their New York wedding last month. Come on Miss. Usher, it is your son’s big day, put your differences aside.

And finally, Troubled pop star Britney Spears tried to seduce a college student who was an extra on her latest video. She invited 21-year-old Matt Encinias to accompany her in a topless pool frolic, before asking him up to her room at L.A.’s Standard Hotel, according to Us Weekly magazine. He claims he was hand-picked by Spears’ assistant hours earlier, along with a group of male pals, to keep the singer company by her hotel pool. Encinias says, “Britney was the first one to undress, and then everyone else followed.” “I turned around and saw that she was topless and she had fake tattoos of flowers on her nipples from the shoot.” Oh that Britney, am I the only one that is wishing that this will not stop?

Usher and his fiancée Tameka Foster got married a week after canceling their big wedding was planned for. They got married in his lawyers office in Atlanta. Way to cut the corners there Usher. Rock on.

Britney Spears spent $30,000 on her music video for her comeback single “Give Me More.” The video features Britney pole dancing in a little black dress. I don’t know Brits, maybe you should put some money away for a rainy day, don’t you think.

This might be one of the funniest things that I have heard in the longest time. There’s a porno coming out this fall called “Lindsey Hohand: Get Out of My Fucking Way.” It’s about a pop star that can’t stop getting in trouble. Man is that just fantastic. I am already almost in front of rom-dep to get my copy.

Prison Break actor Lane Garrison was sentenced to 90 days in jail. He is the one that provided alcohol to minors and killed someone while drunk driving. Hummmm. That is a little confusing. God forbid if I ever killed somebody while driving drunk, I would easily get 10 years in jail. Oh the glorious life of a celebrity.

Alright, 2 more stories to report, than I am out the door, to enjoy a jack and coke poolside.  And they both involve Britney and Linsday.

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly given the paparazzi the slip by checking into a rehab facility in Utah, after reports surfaced claiming she was hiding out in New York with her mother.

On Monday, Lohan’s father Michael confirmed the actress was in Long Island, New York with her mom Dina, following her second arrest for DUI last month. But several media outlets have alleged Lohan - who has not been seen since her arrest - is nowhere near New York. Entertainment Tonight reports the star has checked into the Cirque Lodge drug and alcohol rehab in Sundance, Utah. This would be her third stint in rehab. Oh Lindsay. Oh Little Miss Out Of Control. Please please please stick to it, and don’t try on anybody’s coke filled pants.

And finally, What would be an update without a nice Britney story. It looks like Kelly Clarkson’s loss is Britney Spears’ gain. To help resurrect her troubled career, TMZ.com is reporting that Britney has hired Clarkson’s ex-manager, Jeff Kwatinetz. He’s the CEO of the Los Angeles based agency The Firm. Kelly fired Kwatinetz in June following controversy surrounding her new album, ‘My December.’ After not having any guidance for months, Britney may need some direction. She’s recently been in the news for her disastrous interview/photo shoot with OK! magazine and a run in with the paparazzi, where she allegedly threatened to kill a photographer. Good Job Brits. Now maybe your career will be back on track.
