Britney does Vegas...sorta

I am not ashamed to admit that I have Britney's Live From Las Vegas show on DVD. Not the trashy one where she masturbates onstage that was shown on Showtime. I have the classy HBO concert on DVD. When she was big (but not overweight). And hot (but not passing out).

Now she has done Vegas in a different way...attempting to turn her career back around and stage her big comeback by opening the MTV VMA's.

Her appearance was doomed from the start. I don't really understand what MTV was going for, but they basically had some of today's biggest artists making fun of her on the side while she was performing. Not only was this distracting, but also not a good sign of what the performance was ACTUALLY like, not just how it played on television.

Everyone is saying she looked fat in her skimpy outfit. She did not look fat. She looked healthy and normal. But unfortunately for Britney, that meants looking overweight.

And um, I thought her dancers were good.

The beginning of the end...

Poor Vanessa Hudgens. She probably thought the throng of sex tape and nude photo scandals with celebrities was over. Little did she know, for her, they were just getting started.

That may sound a bit over-the-top, I know. But the poor girl is a Disney starlet! A nude photo surfacing is like finding out Britney's not a virgin. It's like realizing the water in Lindsay's water bottles isn't actually water. It's like Vanessa Williams losing her Miss America crown for posing nude. It's like Miss Teen USA behaving badly. It's like...like...well, a nude photo surfacing on the internet.

Apparently the photo was emailed to some kid named Drake Bell, another Disney actor, before she was a star.

I feel really bad for her. With at least one more HSM film in the works, a second solo album on the way, an ad deal with Neutrogena, and much more on her plate, I hope her fragile teen heart can take it all.

What am I talking about, this is the drama I live for. Zac & Vanessa are the Justin & Britney of the new teen generation. And this photo is the beginning of the drama...comparable to the first time Britney cheated on Justin. I'm holding my breath, waiting to see what's next.

I just wanted to share this picture...

OMG!

Sara Bareilles is featured in the free single of the week on iTunes! Go download her free tune, Love Song! It's amazing...she's amazing!

Nelly vs. Idina

Is it just me, or do Nelly Furtado and Idina Menzel look very much alike???

Which is which?

I think it's the cheekbones. And the jawline. And the hair. And the eyes.

Kellie, Kellie, Kellie

American Idol Season 5 competitor Kellie Pickler doesn't want you to know if she got a boob job. Saying now that her hair is shorter, her boobs look bigger, and wanting to remain the center of attention by keeping the truth a mystery, she sure is irritating.

I've got the answer for you right here:

Before

After

Yep. It MUST be the hair.

Akon smacked that...literally

This news story is a DOOZY! A few weeks ago, rapper Akon was performing in Trinidad. He pulled a girl up on stage, who obliged, thinking she was entering a dance contest to win a trip to Africa.

Well, Akon gets her up on stage and tells her, "I'm Africa!" and simulates sexual positions, tossing her around and pinning her between himself and another performer, hitting her head on the ground throughout.

So now we come to find out that (a) the girl is only 15-years old, and (b) she is a pastor's daughter (so I hear).

In Akon's defense, he has apologized, saying "I did not know she was underage. The concert was supposed to be 18+ only." 'Cause, you know, simulating forced sexual acts on an 18-year old is ok.

Now the rapper, who is Gwen Stefani's opening act on her current world tour, has had his endoresements dropped by Verizon (including ringtones, graphics, advertisements, etc.), and Verizon has also dropped their sponsorship of the tour.

If Gwen is smart, she should drop him, too!
