Loving BEY Z for no damn reason!

Not much to say. In a word...FABULOUS!

THE WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW COUNTDOWN!!!

HATERS BEWARE! No matter what anyone says, sexual harassment suits, murder plots, tranny rumors, WE LOOOVE Wendy. Our official C + C countdown to The Wendy Williams talk show has begun. We are 11 days away from this fab occasion. We can expect to see drama, wigs, drama, fights, honesty and people showing how raggedy they can be. It is a morning show, so if you are one of the few Americans who is currently employed...set your TiVo. Trust us!!

Is politics synonymous with semantics?

This morning while in Fargo, ND, Obama (looking especially dashing in the above photo) said that he would be open to "refining" his withdrawal strategy after his visit to Iraq at the end of the month. Sounds totally logical to me. However, the world of politics has decided this choice of words make him a "flip flopper" and have said he now shares the "same position as Sen. McCain." WTF?! In what world does this make sense?! It is amazing how people get paid ridiculous sums of money to dissect semantics and we call them advisors, newscasters, pundits, etc. Obama is simply being proactive. He is not in the military and therefore cannot make brash decisions about an exit strategy without consulting the people on the front lines. He has made clear that his intention is to pull all units out in 16 months, but he would be insane to claim that this is a promise. Is this flip flopping? Or is it perhaps just level headed leadership that the American public has not experienced in 8-20 years? Here's to hoping the general public can see through all the bull that is the media and appreciate the true meaning of what Obama meant!

HAPPY 90TH TO NELSON MANDELA!

Former President and all around inspirational force Nelson Mandela celebrated his 90th birthday today with a star studded concert in London's Hyde Park. Of course the who's who of Hollywood and beyond showed up for the occasion. Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey, Amy Wyno, Bill Clinton and Robert DeNiro were among the celebs paying homage to this amazing man. Looking at a figure like Mandela truly makes one sit back and look at the situation the world sits in today...if we could all see the big picture like Mandela the world would be a different place.

Supreme Court ruling today...WTFFFF?!

Today the Supreme Court ruled the death penalty "unconstitutional" for child rapists! Let me repeat that, today the Supreme Court ruled the death penalty "unconstitutional" for repeated child rapists. OH WAIT THERE'S MORE...the direct ruling:

"a death sentence for one who raped but did not kill a child, and who did not intend to assist another in killing the child, is unconstitutional"


The most offensive part of this ruling is that the Court left the death penalty open to crimes involving: treason, espionage, terrorism, and drug kingpin activity. Isn't there a problem when the judicial system can choose to take the life of someone who threatens so-called national security (which many would argue is oftentimes a rule of the game when in war), but ruining an innocent child's life isn't considered that big a deal. When the ruling first became public this morning I spoke with a few friends who felt the same rage, so I have to believe I am not hyper-sensitive or crazy. Here's to hoping this November brings us a NEW DAWN!

Clinton campaign debt...Obama's responsibility?

I will not pretend that I am Bill Maher or Chris Matthews but I have followed politics as closely as ever during this presidential race...there is one thing I simply cannot understand. Why is it the nominees responsibility to cover the debt of the loser? This is a question open to all, if someone could explain this to me I would feel much smarter. I have watched the reports, read the articles and I still can't make sense of it. We all watched Hillary go deeper and deeper into debt, going into her personal account to the tune of somewhere around $11 million...all this was done when it was clear that her chances of winning were slimmer than a supermodel. So WHY is it Obama and his campaign financiers duty to clean up her mess? I have nothing against Hillary, she's made history and that is wonderful but it seems to me she was aware of what she was getting herself into. Please post your responses, I beg of you!

Ne-Yo vs. Chris Brown?? What are we to do?

Talk about the dilemma of the summer! Apparently a "beef" has been brewing between Chris Brown and Ne-Yo over the last few months. The most popular explanation appears to be that Chris has been heard around town saying that he can outsell Ne-Yo and criticizing his vocal abilities. When did R&B get so street? Is this really what it is all coming to: a rap battle between singers? The most unfortunate part is these are singers that have a great image, these are two guys that parents let their children listen to and most importantly I really like both of them. After careful consideration, as much as I adore Chris Brown, I'm going to have to go with team Ne-Yo, it's nothing personal it's just more of a grown folks thing. If you listen carefully to the song Ne-Yo does have a few very clever jabs to throw at the yougun' (i.e. "Your girlfriends favorite song is mine"...a reference to Ri-Ri???). We'll keep you posted on this battle of the crooners!

Heath Ledgers last film to be completed in good taste.

One of the most talked about things after the passing of Heath Ledger is what will be done with the film he was in the process of making (leave it to Hollywood to worry about something so insignificant upon someone's death). He was filming The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus directed by Terry Gilliam. A solution has been reached regarding how to handle the film. In the story Heath's character walks through mirrors into 3 different worlds. Gilliam will shoot his entrance into alternate world's using other actors as a substitute once he arrives. It sounds like he will be paying homage to Heath through the film. The actors slated to take these roles on are: Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp. With these three actors taking over for Heath we think it will be a job well done and something Heath Ledger would have been proud of. All of the best hopes to his family and friends during this difficult period.

Chris Brown taken...say is ain't so!

So it looks like I can't write I Heart Chris Brown in my black and white composition note book any longer. It is official Chris Brown and Rihanna are sharing an umbrella. They have been spotted around town and word on the street is there is no question that they are in fact a couple. As much as it disgusts me to admit, this is an adorable match. The best thing about it is, our favorite glam chick Beyonce can now live in peace since this little minx finally has a star to call her own.

Aretha takes a slash at our Beloved BeyBey?!

Lawd Have Mercy! The drama from the Grammy's continue to unfold. Thank you WGA! So on the countdown we praised Beyonce and Tina Turner for killing their performance. There was one diva who was none too happy about it. Aretha apparently was NOT feeling the R-E-S-P-E-C-T and thinks Bey Bey is part of a damn Chain of Fools for calling Tina "The Queen". See her statement below.

"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé, however I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. In addition to that, I thank the Grammys and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyoncé anyway."

Well there is one contest you will never loose Queen 'Retha the booby race! Damn you are packing!

Gary Coleman married!

This deserves an OMG-izzle! Breaking news today (thanks to Inside Edition) Gary Coleman got married in a secret ceremony last August. It is the first time he has ever been "romantic" which translates to "getting nasty". His wife is a 22 year old "great e-bayer" as Gary puts it! Word is they knew each other for five months (we all know Gary was literally selling the pants off of his behind on eBay for money) and she proposed to him. In case you haven't been able to do the math, lil' Arnold is 40 now. This only proves one thing. Gary Coleman listens to Cash + Cam every Tuesday and Thursday on the radio! We gave him specific advice to get back in the game! Although we suggested a sex tape...marriage works too. There is no doubt a reality show will ensue! YAY GARY! Way to get back on the saddle. We're waiting anxiously for "What you talkin' 'bout white wife" on VH1 this fall.

The Strike is Over!

Breaking News! For all intensive purposes the Writers Strike is over! Here are a few of the headlines and info we found across the web. Be sure to check out the articles in their entirety.

Variety
For the first time in more than three months, TV showrunners are heading back to the office on Monday with the rest of the scribe tribe due back Wednesday.
The development came with the ruling boards of the Writers Guild of America unanimously approving the tentative deal with the majors, triggering a vote by members that will conclude Tuesday night on whether to lift the strike order. Ballots to ratify the new three-year deal will also go out in the next few days with a 10- to 12-day return period.

Nikke Finke at Deadline Hollywood Daily
At the WGA's news conference today, union leaders declared the new contract is "a huge victory for us". Trumpeted WGAW President Patric Verrone, "This is the first time we actually got a better deal in a new media than previously." Verrone credited News Corp. No. 2 Peter Chernin and Disney chief Bob Iger, and also CBS boss Les Moonves, with "being instrumental in making this deal happen" after the WGA spent 3 months "getting nowhere" with the AMPTP negotiators and lawyers. WGA negotiating committee chief John Bowman added that, "What happened to the Golden Globes was instrumental in getting the CEOs to this table. It was a huge symbol."

USAToday
It's a deal similar to one reached last month by the Directors Guild of America, including a provision that compensation for ad-supported streaming doesn't kick in until after a window of between 17 to 24 days deemed "promotional" by the studios.Writers would get a maximum $1,200 flat fee for streamed programs in the deal's first two years and then get a percentage of a distributor's gross in year three — the latter an improvement on the directors deal, which remains at the flat payment rate.
"The precedent that we can participate in new media, that's great," said Diane Frolov, another Sopranos writer. "There was mostly cheering" among the L.A. contingent, she added.

Is She Crazy?

Heather Mills set to question Sir Paul McCartney in court - Times Online

Lil' Kim, is that you?

Looks like Lil' Kim has a lil' bit of eplaining to do as to her recent appearance at Marc Jacobs' fashion show. Has she been eatin a lil' too much or has she just had a lil' too much plastic surgery?

Desperate Housedude gets his arse WHOOPED!

So the infamous gardner from Desperate Housewives Jesse Metcalfe was out and about in LA last night. During his stop at hotspot Boulevard 3 he sparked up convo with Hustle and Flow Ho Taryn Manning. Apparently her male "friend", a random British guy and aspiring rapper, wasn't happy and proceeded to kick Jesse's butt! It got caught on tape! What luck?! Word on the street is that Jesse went back in and continued the brawl with the random. We hope you didn't damage that pretty lil face of yours Jesse, it's all you've got going for you! By the way, does anyone know if he's realated to Laurie Metcalfe from Roseanne?

America's best dance crew

Yes, another reality dish. Our favorite purple glasses, red shoe wearing "Dawg" Randy Jackson has brought back street dancing...kind of. Mtv is now running a new show called "Randy Jackson presents America's Best Dance Crew". It is by far the most entertaining show on Mtv since the San Francisco cast of The Real World circa 1996. Crews battle it out to see who has the hottest moves. LOL. Even that sounds funny! But the absolute BEST part of the show are the judges. Randy has kept in line with the success of: the one jerk, one chick and one black guy line up of Idol. He has JC Chasez (the jerk), Lil' Mama (the chick??- rocking multicolored press on nails) and Shane Sparks (the black guy who can speak comfortably in street vernacular). Can we say awkward? These judges are the most unpolished people on television. It is worth watching at least to listen to JC attempt his best Simon impression. Go Team Kapa Modern!

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins!

From time to time we like to let you Factory members in on our favorite new things. We were lucky to have Director, Writer, Producer Pete Chatmon on our radio show last week. During the interview he let us know about his recent music video for the Martin Lawrence film "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins". It debuted last week and for those of you who missed it here it is! It is a great song by Joe, and I for one must say THANK YOU PETE CHATMON - for creating an appropriate video for a feel good song. Mr. Chatmon has a lot of things going on and we will be watching his career. Check out his channel youtube.com/double7film.

Flavor of Love 3 - Damn you VH1!!!

In the words of the "man" himself - "WOWWWW!!!". Shamefully we watched the Flavor of Love 3 casting special. The disclaimer being that there is no intention of watching the actual season. To our shock VH1 has managed to do the impossible: find even more desperate, insane and creative women (young and mature) that want to be involved in a show that requires them to make out with a real life hobbit. There were sexier people in The Lord of the Rings!!! When will Flav realize what is taking place? Ugh! Is there anything folks won't do for a paycheck?!

Hey Paula! Don't Quit Your Day Job!

Yikes - when we heard that Paula Abdul was performing at the Superbowl we were curious. When we heard that Paula would be performing her new single "Get Up and Dance" we were disappointed (no Straight-Up? No Cold Hearted?). When we heard that Paula would be pre-taping the show and lip-syncing the performance we were disgusted.

But nothing could have prepared us for what we saw. It was so fake and boring that we could literally see Simon dying. This woman critiques thousands of performers a year and is supposed to be aiding in the search for a new superstar?? The song sounds like a song Miley Ray Cyrus threw in the trash. Her outfit looks like a rejected costume from her video with the cartoon cat....and she doesn't even dance like she used to?! At least we know what kept Paula away from performing for all these years - she can't.

Really. What was she thinking?? Here it is in its mediocrity...ooops - we meant entirety.

Gone Country?

We reported on our radio show last week that there was a new reality show on CMT called "Gone Country". Artists from different genres of music come on and try to become the next country star and who else to do it but ---- BOBBY BROWN?! We love it! And the first episode - Classic! Who knew Bobby had such a great personality. Nothing could be more opposite from his stint on "Being Bobby Brown". Please stay tuned as he gets into fights, drama and cowboy boots!

American Idol Live Blog!

Gotta love Fox - "The Sarah Connor Chonicles is the years Number 1 new show!" It's Janury 2008!!!

AI's back and we get some funny reactions from the losers, Droopy Dog says the judges didn't........think..........he.........had.......enough........energy". I need a Red Bull just watching him.

Christina is up and she's out of this world with her Princess Leia hairstyle and she threatens to have children. Oh - and men apparently love her - she "doesn't know why" and neither do I. Guess there's some lonely, sad, Star Wars geeks who have made her their queen. And then she sings...all I can hear is her sing "and I'm growing tired" and i wish my mom would come in and tell me it's bedtime and time to go to sleep. The judges hate her and she keeps saying " I think you need a goofball". Maybe that's why these freaks go on here - they think it's American Goofball and they should try out..

And we meet Brooke as Chrisitna is STILL lamenting not getting to be the american Goofball (honey you won in my book). Brooke lives in Van Nuys and i wonder if I've seen her arounfd the neighborhood - but i definitely didn't see her at an r-rated movie cause she's never seen one and she doesn't drink or sware or rat her hair. She's married and her husband hasn't seen an R-rated movie either.....blah...blah...can she sing? No! But the judges think so she's going to Hollywood!

Thankfully, she's the last of this sad depressing night. What do you all think - besides the fact that there are over 1 million typos in our posts???

American Idol Live Blog!

And we're back and Paula gets her wish - the Roman Soldier is back and he's smooth now. He wants to sing "Doncha" but Simon has had enough and promptly kicks him out.

Next it looks like we have an actual contender - Chris, good lookin and ready to go. He SINGS! Simon thinks he looks like a "star" and Randy think he can really sing. And Simon starts up some BRO-mance and says "the girls will like you". Only closeted gay men say that...speaking of which, Ryan was all over him. Told ya!

American Idol Live Blog!

And next - Benjamin throws off his cloak and is wearing a roman soldier outfit. And Paula thinks that the only problem with this is he has chest hair and sends him to go get his chest waxed. I take back all the nice things i said about Paula.

"American Idol don't want Shiquita!!"

- A love song for Paula Abdul from Paul (who's 32?)- it's horrible and Simon kicks him out ("If I were Columbo I'd Peter Faulk her"). Here we get our "can you believe this" moment. He pretty much tells Paula he is a stlaker and wants to "stalk her". WEIRD!

Then we have Beth, who thank God doesn't have a gimmick and just sings. Simon dismisses her but Randy and Paula send her to Hollywood.

American Idol Live Blog!

And we're back...

They show the Judges arriving together...right. Since the show is kind of boring, let's talk about them shall we? Randy has these new mutton shops on his face and appears as if he's gaining a bit of that weight back. Paula seems to be surpisingly coherent but anything compared to that disastrous reality show "Hey Paula" is ok. And Simon is just like me - bored and just looking for the next check...

First up..Elise, a very skinny woman who likes to do something she thinks is dancing. Can she sing - no. Can she scream? HELL YES. This tiny skinny girl screams like she is a child sitting in R. Kelly's lap.

Next up a mini-montage of nastiness.

And then we have a bald man who clearly does not meet the age requirements. His name is Milo and he wants to sing a song called "No Sex Allowed". Where to start?? It's a song about a woman wanting sex from Milo which is fiction, obviously. And the lyrics are so stupid that one wonders if the producers went to a freak show and conivnced some poor man that he would be perfect for American Idol just to have him massacred in front of millions of people.

Next we have "Horse girl" who sold her horse to come to the audition. She's a CAGE FIGHTER. I think that's code for she does low-rent porn in Oregon. She sings Amazing Grace and she's not bad. Paula says, and this is where I laugh, "you've got a great tone in your voice" as if she knows anything about singing. Anyway, horse-girl goes to Hollywood. All jokes aside, she's cute and pretty and could be a contender. We'll see...

American Idol Live Blog!

And we're back with a montage of wins and losses and Ryan Seacrest looking gayer than ever.

Next we meet a single female, Angela Martin, the first contestant who looks like she could win! She has a sick child who has all sorts of medical problems. Are we going to get a happy ending finally? I think so...and for the record, her sick daughter is adorable! The whole family is there to support and Angela comes and gives an impressive performance. During Simon's critiques he tells her not to use "wedding singer tricks". He actually gives her some good advice that will probably help her! Wow! That's something new..

I can't help but be underwhelemed. it's 9:10 and I haven't seen something noteworthy. No Hungs, Fantasias or even Jareds! Where's our watercooler moment?

American Idol Live Blog!

And next up...Alexis Cohen! She's definitely got access to glitter and a bedazzler from the looks of her clothes. Interestingly enough, the cameras seemed to have gone to her house and show who she is. Normally this means they'll make it through but she sings and you know...NOPE! She gets up and sings "Don't you want somebody to love" - and Alexis looks like she's on crack. Simon doesn't "think this compeition is right" for her and the judges agree. Randy feels bad for her and leaves her with "PEace, love and chicken grease". Simon likens her to the green goblin from SPiderman and then ALexis goes off and goes insane. All i can say is what ALexis said - "Take it, take it, take it!" she makes certain to give the finger and curse and scream out for a long, long, long time.

Haven't we seen this whole thing before? Tameka from season 1, yes - TA! ME! KA! still told off Simon better than anyone else.

American Idol Live Blog!

Ok - it's 8:40 PM and I feel as if we've had a tiny bit of show...

First up: Mark Hayes, who sings "I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas" - definite idol material, right? NO? Ugh...

OH no here comes Udde? - he made his own MC Hammer dance...should be great..nope not great at all. He has a "mindset" that he's going to come out and win. Note to self: "The Secret" won't help you on American Idol. And he sings "My Way" all on one note. Simon says "Plainly, singing won't be part of your career". Udde doesn't get it and asks to sing again...NEXT!

Next up, the freak show montage set to "I Love Rock and Roll"....cue the shocked judge reactions....the hopelessly horrible singers...costume acts...and if you've ever seen American Idol than you've seen this before. And you know what - it was funny the first 4 seasons but now it's just tired and boring.

More commercials! YAY! Can you believe people are paying upwards of $700k for a 30-sec act? WOW! For this...gotta love America!

American Idol Live Blog!

Ok next commerical break over...

- Sybill gave Jennifer Hudson a boost with a terrible rendition of "Love You I Do"

- Jose sang a spanish "Unbreak My Heart" - ok...he's going to HW.

- TEMPTRESS BROWN: a female linebacker who looks like she more than meets the weight requirement. They did a sad story angle - her mom is very sick (too-much-food-itis). Am i heartless or just used to seeing these sad stroy background pieces on AI? Anyway - she's singin "I'm Not Goin Nowhere??" aka "And I Am Telling You". But then she sang it was so bad! AWWW - now she's crying and I feel bad for her. The judges all give her a hug and walk her out, SIMON'S idea - shock! - and they made her feel good. Forgive me for my cyniscism but is this a reaction to last years criticism that the judges were too mean? Hmmmmm...

By the way...does anyone else REALLY want to see "The Moment of Truth" where they ask embarassing questions to contestants and all they have to do is answer truthfully (they have a lie detector). When they have an obese woman ask a skinny male "Are you disgusted by fat people?" - you can see him SQUIRM! And who can't wait to see what happens when they ask someone "Are you really concerned about the starving children in Africa?"

American Idol Live Blog!

Well we're blogging the AI first episode tonite in Philadephia - so far:

-We saw a guy who lost 204 pounds go through to Hollywood. Losing the weight was a huge feat, but I don't think he's got IT. Nonetheless, e's going to Hollywood where everyone will tell him he needs to lose more weight.

-We saw ALEF? A Borat look-alike who looks like he's just happy to be there and make sexy time with Paula..Not going to H'Wood

- Next was James who looks perfectly nice in a suit, who when sings sounds like a retarded preacher.

So far, kind of the same old same old...bad auditions and thousands of people eager to get on the show.

Janet's New Video!

Ok you NASTY readers...what do you think of Janet's new video?

Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman Thinks Tiger Woods Should Be 'Lynched'!

New year, new racist remark! Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman has apologized after saying during Friday's telecast of the PGA Tour's opening event that today's young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley."

The Golf channel is reaching out to Tiger's reps to ask for forgiveness. Here's what we would like his response to be: "Kiss my comblanasian ASS!"

I know, I know - forgive and forget, right? Nope! If the GOLF CHANNEL, which by all accounts should have a shrine to Tiger Woods erected in his honor, has an on-air reporter making statements like that live to millions of...well whoever the hell watches The Golf Channel, then the person making those statements has some REALLY DEEP SEATED prejudices. And I do not think for one second that she would have ever uttered that sentence about a non-black player. People make mistakes but this mistake was more like the tip of the iceberg of what's really in her mind.

Fire her! And perhaps Miss Tilghman can join Dogg the Bounty Hunter, Michael Richards and Don Imus on Lynching With The Stars!

Top 10 Moments on The I Love NY 2 Reunion!

Well, not quite worth all the hype but I Love New York 2: Reunion was not a complete disappointment. Here's our list of the Top 10 Moments from the show:

10. Someone in the audience calls Sister Patterson "Dragula"!

9. We were on the edge of our seat when Sister Patterson went behind a curtain with Wolf to do a...shall we say "equipment inspection". The curtain was even see-through so we possibly might have gotten a silhouette of Wolf's self-proclaimed "hugeness"! But alas, again, Wolf copped out and said he doesn't pull it out unless he's going to use it. Hmmp - guess we'll just have to wait till next year when Wolf is broke and needs money and does a porno!

8. Champion is revealed as Sister Patterson's new lover to which everyone in the audience reaches under their chair for their vomit bags. Champion merely sits there smiling like, "don't worry I'm getting paid for this".

7. Revenge of Mama and Pappa "Entertainer"! We admit we felt bad when New York ejected Frank, "The Entertainer", by calling him and his whole family a bunch of losers. You could see they were visibly upset at being treated so viciously, but then the reunion rolls around and Frank's mom let "Mr. Patterson" have it. Pappa Entertainer even gets in one on NY when after she litterally shows her ass he yells - "Your asss looks just like your face!"

6. Midget Mack comes across as the most decent, clean and normal person on the show

5. After New York goes into one of her tired tirades trying to explain her actions on the show, Buddha quickly jumps up and declares "Ladies and Gentleman, New York!"

4. After being applauded by New York and LaLa for his restraint in not killing Tailor Made when he was spat upon, Mr. Wise quickly erases that honor by bum-rushing the stage and onto Tailor Made for one of the stupidest fights on TV.

Note to producers: If you're doing trash TV, then just do it! There was no reason to cut out the fighting and the aftermath cause you know that's why we watch this show in the first place!

3. The entire 'It' segment! He may be a faker but he's a damn good faker!

2. A day in the life of "The Entertainer" - Poor Frank! 30 years old (if you believe him) and still at home raking leaves and doing chores. Living in the basement of your parents house is not a good way to impress a girl - even New York!

1. Tailor Made and New York prove their romance is completely, totally and undeniably FAKE! The forced kisses, New York's "tearful" declaration about how happy she was he came on to the show, all of it is contrived. Does anyone at all believe that New York would EVER be interested in TM?

Our theory is that this development in NY's love life will give producers enough time to get Flavor of Love 3 out and give NY a rest till the eventual announcement that TM and NY have broken up and then we'll have....I Love New York 3!

What did you all think of the big reunion?

The Golden Globes 2008 - a Hollywood nightmare

We have come to appreciate the Golden Globes as the most exciting award show of the season. The dinner party, the laid-back vibe, the drunken acceptance speeches. What will we do now? As the writer's strike looms on it continues to effect everything we know and love. On Monday the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and NBC were forced to create an "acceptable" show format, or the show would be picketed by the WGA. They are scrapping the traditional celeb filled dinner party! It is reported by the Associated Press that the show set to air this Sunday will take on a "Dateline NBC" format: interviews with the nominees, a news conference announcing the winners and coverage of the after parties. This means no fabulous fashion, no crazy acceptance speeches, no excitement about finding out which celebs are friendly with one another. Just a news conference. The nominated actors confirmed that if the Globes took on it's normal format and the WGA had a picket line they would absolutely not cross it. As boring as this revamped format is I must say, in an industry where every man is out for the dollar it is nice to see a act of solidarity such as this one.

Tom Cruise Named No 2 in Scientology,Now After David Beckham

Andrew Morton's unauthorized biography claims Scientology has taken over the 45-year-old actor's life, with its officials selecting many of the staff at his Hollywood mansion. Claims Tom is the organization's second-in-command in all but name, involved in every aspect of planning and policy. Next "mission" is to recruit David and Vicki Beckham.

New York's New Year's Eve Triangle

We've all heard the rumors, seen the pictures and are anxiously awaiting the reunion. However based on the events from New Year's in Miami we don't have to wait for the drama. It is reported by Page Six that New York was out with her man Tailor Made at Club Tenjune and who shows up but bitter runner up Buddha (aka Mr. Hell Date). Apparently the two men got into a brawl (if we can call it that, because I'm sure it was a one sided fight) over Ms. NY and Buddha had to be escorted from the premises. Whether this is a PR ploy or the real deal who will ever know, but we love the entertainment these people provide. Listen to our show this Thursday when we will be dishing ALL the dirt on the reunion show and behind the scenes!

Lenny's daughter and her hair

We LOVE Lenny Kravitz. How can you not? It pains me to post this pic but it is necessary. His daughter is seen here with her boyfriend, actor Ben Foster. What is going on with her hair? I am sorry but this is unacceptable. We have all had bad hairs days and for those of us with a coarser texture it can be challenging, but this is ridiculous. Lil' Kravitz you are entirely too cute and wealthy to have this look.

Britney's ambulance ride

As we reported earlier Brit Brit was hospitalized after acting a damn fool and not returning her children as scheduled to K-Fed. I thought it was necessary for you guys to get a look at how she looked in the infamous ambulance ride. If she does not look like an unfit mother here, I don't know what else to call it. It seems to me she was sniffing or drinking some inappropriate substances to have her kids in the house. PLEASE let these kids stay with their father and have some idea of a stable life Britney.

Britney Spears Needs To Go Away!

Just when you thought that the madness of Britney Spears had climaxed in 2007, she opens up the new year with a new scandal. She went ballistic last night and reportedly held her own son hostage and had to be hospitalized. We love to make fun of stars and their shenanigans but this is now akin to beating up a blind, deaf, semi-retarded hooker!

The fact of the matter is that Britney needs to go away from L.A. and the spotlight and get some help. Let K-Fed be Mr. Mom and let Britney get it together. It's just sickening to see a completely insane woman out of control be hounded by the world.

We now, sadly, must agree with that freakish YouTube post by the crazed Britney fan who declared "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE"! This girl will most certainly end up like Anna Nicole Smith if someone doesn't have her committed and get her in a hospital.

All the acts that lost major label deals in 2007

Interesting article from EW.com:

As we embark on this fresh, new year, we thought it a good time to take stock of all the artists (or as many as we could remember — like JC Chasez, pictured) who lost their major label deals during a tumultuous 2007. Some were dropped, others had contracts expire, and many were simply caught up in consolidation and closings. Of course, several have found new homes already, but plenty of bands are free agents. What does it mean for the music business in '08? Are more casualties on the way? Besides the Radioheads and White Stripes of the world, do you see a future for any of these acts? Any noteworthy acts we left off the list?

We highlighted the ones that we know and think are notable..

I Love New York 2 Reunion Show SPOILERS!

Here's a leak from VH1 about the much highly anticipated "I Love New York 2 Reunion Show".

1. It’ll take up more airtime than any other reunion in the Flavor of Love universe: it runs for 90 minutes and it’s packed with ridiculousness. There’s no way it could have been shorter — it could very well turn out to be an instant classic.

2. An unlikely character engages in a full-on, tongues-out kiss with another person on the show. You might say that this is a new frontier of sexuality.

3. There is a food fight.

4. We’re introduced to one of the guy’s vast cologne collection.

5. A penis is exposed (Wolf's?? Gonna need a big screen, high def!)

6. So is a butt.

7. Tailor Made gives New York the ultimate present (and it’s not what you think)!

8. New York tells a guy who isn’t Tailor Made: “Yes, I had real feelings for you…And you know I did, and I know that you know I did.”

9. “You can have ‘em in your house, I mean that’s your choice…” says Sister Patterson about a particular minority group. She is, as usual, the picture of tolerance.

10. Although, to be fair, she also describes herself as “not human.” A new frontier in self-awareness?

11. An argument breaks out when one barely seen guy calls out to someone on stage: “Don’t stand up for another man. That makes you look fruity.”

12. There will be blood. Blood??? We can't wait...

Ahhhh...More Blind Items!

Blind Item Reveals
October 3, 2007#1 This whacked out, aging female singer, and I am using the term singer very loosely here, walked up to her ex-boyfriend who was with his current girlfriend. Apparently our singer was a wee bit jealous and a wee bit pissed that her ex was with someone else. She walked straight up to the new girlfriend and asked, "Did he tell you that he's HIV positive?" "I should know, he gave it to me." She then turned and walked away. How is that for a date? Probably the last one.
-Courtney Love. I need to make it perfectly clear that as far as I know she only said it as a joke and is NOT HIV+

Blind Item Reveals
September 14, 2007#2 This celebutard (the male version of celebutante) with the prolific sperm has been trying to hide his relationship with this C/D list actress because her former boyfriend, a B list film star with A list name recognition has threatened to kick the crap out of the celebutard if he sees him with his ex. The c'tard acts tough but is scared out of his mind.
-Kevin Federline / Nicole Narain / Colin Farrell

Blind Item Reveals
September 12, 2007#2 This male singer kept trying to hit on women at the VMA after parties but was having no luck. Apparently each and everyone made it a point to tell him he was an ass and that you should never kiss and tell.
-Adam Levine (not exactly sure why I made this blind except that I probably didn't have much that day. That day was the first JLS pregnancy blind though.)
