Only One Chance To Watch MTV’s VMAs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Specials, Cable, MTV,
I’m honestly not sure if anyone cares anymore—because I know I stopped a long time ago—but don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Unlike recent years when you could catch a rerun of the MTV Video Music Awards for weeks on end (usually following an episode of Sweet Sixteen), the cable channel has finally smartened up and made it a more exclusive event. Why cheapen a show by milking it to death? Then again, this is coming from a network that has already cheapened it’s image thanks to the mere presence of Next and (
insert the name of any other MTV show here).
So in hopes of bringing back the audience that has disappeared during the show’s premiere time slot, the channel will air 2007’s telecast one time only. In other words, they are basically following the lead of every other high-profile awards program (e.g. The Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes) that forces people to gather in large numbers at one time. Additionally, the network is promising to revamp the telecast overall and has even brought on uber-producer Timbaland to be the evening’s musical director. Now if they can promise me that Britney Spears will make the rumored surprise appearance (and does a trash-tastic performance at that)—I’ll be there. Better yet, I hope she cancels unexpectedly.
Take note: The Moon Men will be handed out on September 9th from the Palms Casino in Las Vegas.

Trump’s Celebrity Stable
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Apprentice, The - Donald, Rumors,
Though NBC canceled Donald Trump’s Apprentice, you just can’t keep the Donald down. Here’s what happened: NBC, who is failing miserably in the ratings department, canceled the Apprentice. Evidently, they realized the small ratings they were getting from the reality show was reason enough to stick – so they cancelled the cancellation. This time, Trump’s idea is to use celebrities. Recently, Trump told the New York Post that he’s in negotiations with Britney Spears. Kimora Lee Simmons, Carmen Electra, Joan Rivers, Naomi Judd, and George Foreman are already part of the reality cast. Trump also said that Paris Hilton wants to be involved, but he doesn’t know if they’re going to add her to the cast or not.

Britney’s Paparazzi Rampage
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Talent, Gossip,
Britney Spears has been getting her fair share of negative media attention lately, the sort that might prompt other celebs to change their image. Not Brit. Recently, the former pop star threw a baby bottle (those pesky things just had to be good for something) at two photographers as she left a Las Vegas spa. Spears also screamed “I am going to kill you!” at one of the photographers, who is planning to sue. Both photographers work for Flynet Pictures, a company that sells photos to People and US Weekly. Spears was leaving the spa with her two children in tow, threw the bottle, and told one of the photographers she would kill him – or hire someone who would. Lawyers for Britney Spears have not yet commented on the scene.

OK! Gives Britney Spears Layout the Okay
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Gossip, Rumors,
Though reported to be an “absolute disaster,” the self-arranged Britney Spears photo shoot will appear in an upcoming issue of OK! magazine, according to TMZ sources. OK! was with Brit all day, where it was said Spears suffered from an “erratic” mood and paranoia, taking frequent breaks during the session. Allegedly, Spears also used her couture as a napkin – more than once, and with more than one outfit. OK! would rather run the spread than risk damaging the magazine’s relationship with Spears – or, at least, that’s the official story. The truth is, there are few things that sell as many magazines as celebrity train wrecks, and Britney is definitely one of those these days.

CSI Rips Bald Britney From the Headlines
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS,
Gotta love those CSI “ripped from the headlines” storylines. The latest will have a take on bald-headed Britney Spears. Well, kind of… one of the characters on an upcoming episode is said to be based loosely on Spears. The CSI:Miami episode will include the mystery surrounding the death of an actor killed during their stint in rehab. That’s not the Brit character—rather David Caruso and his band of merry forensic scientists will have an encounter with a bald starlet who is staying at the rehab facility. A September episode included another Brit-like star who carried her child in her lap while driving. Sound familiar? To tell if the character is really inspired by Britney though, it would require the actress to do some gum snapping and a few well placed “y’alls”.

Entertainment News Overtaken by Britney’s Bald Head
In my quest to find worthy TV news fit for blogging today, it seems that Britney Spears’ shaving her head is top news. There’s no room for anything else interesting in the entertainment world. Between her and the circus that’s unfolding following Anna Nicole Smith’s death, there’s not much left for us to talk about. Anna Nicole, I can understand. There are so many unanswered questions, including the custody of her baby, that I see why the entertainment media has a lot of ground to cover. A pop star shaving her head and getting a tattoo? I don’t get it. It’s strange, yes. But, is it so newsworthy that the media has to keep covering the story? I would prefer seeing less of her shaved head until they actually have some news about why she did it. Perhaps we’ll never know. Here’s the thing—it will grow back. And when it does, that will be the top entertainment story of the day!

Britney Spears Helps the Needy, Flashes Paparazzi
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Music, Reality, Gossip,
That’s the news, folks. You can’t make this stuff up. I just read on Reality TV World that former Chaotic star and music diva Britney Spears is donating 170 personal items to help needy children. The December 4th online auction will be run by Christie’s and include such exciting items as a junior high school paper she wrote that earned her an 88. The proceeds will benefit the Britney Spears Foundation.
Meanwhile, the latest Brit news is her recent run in with photographers, as she provided a panty-less flash that was quickly snapped and distributed online. With her recent split from K-fed, she’s been seen running about with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan painting the town—and doing it without underwear, apparently. Check it online, if you dare.
Just a thought—maybe she’s auctioning her panties to help the needy?

Britney Spears Files For Divorce From K-Fed
Not that we necessarily want to see marriages fall apart or anything, but we are certainly intrigued at this latest bit of news. Apparently, Kevin Federline (who has been all over WWE programming as of late) and Britney Spears are suffering from enough “irreconcilable differences” that Brit felt it was time to split from the wannabe rapper. Of course, this is all heresy until we hear it from one of their respective representatives, but it’s being reported from such sources as People Magazine and TMZ. Britney is said to be seeking custody of the couples two children, Sean Preston (1) and Jayden James (2 months). I guess this is what happens when your relationship gets a little too Chaotic?

K-Fed Gets Acting Gig on CSI
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Reality, CBS, UPN,
Let’s just hope his acting is better than his rapping… Kevin Federline will be appearing on an upcoming episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, according to People magazine. The announcement comes shortly after his debut rapping at the Teen Choice Awards, which was panned by many critics and people with good taste. This of course isn’t his first time on the small screen, as he and wife Britney Spears experimented with the reality TV genre with their show Chaotic on UPN last year (Did anyone watch that?). The CSI appearance will be his first official acting gig, playing a “menacing, arrogant teen who harasses investigators Nick Stokes (George Eads) and Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan) on a job.” Be on the lookout for the episode in October and pray there is no rapping involved.

An Open Letter To Britney Spears
Dear Britney:
I’ve seen all the bad press you’ve been receiving lately and I know that it has really gotten to you. Access Hollywood has been promoting your upcoming interview with Matt Lauer all week. I often feel bad that I pay US Weekly good money to publish all those bad stories about you—but for some reason I just can’t tear my eyes away from all your photos. Those tear-stained eyes…your poor son looking helpless.
I know—it must be hard to live in the limelight…photographers waiting everywhere hoping that you will make a mistake. I understand it must be horrible to live in such a fishbowl.
Maybe we’re all wrong about K-Fed. Maybe he is a better father than he seems. Shar Jackson still seems to say good things about him…even if he did leave her for you.
But no matter what you have to say about your mothering…about K-Fed…about the state of your marriage. Do you want to know my main problem about you?
YOU LOOK LIKE CRAP.
I hate it when people with good money can’t clean their acts up—emotionally OR physically.
Granted—I have only seen clips from your upcoming interview, but I feel like I can comfortably say this: FIRE YOUR PR AGENT (If they haven’t already quit).
PR 101: If you want people to respect you—- LOOK RESPECTABLE. I have no idea who let you go on national TV looking that…especially when the whole point of the interview was to set your record straight. America—I’m not white-trash…even though I may dress like it.
Your television interview has NOT EVEN AIRED YET—but I can tell you right now, you are going to win very few people over.
There is no reason your hair should lack a good conditioner. Your boobs should not be falling out of your top. You should not be wearing short denim skirts that practically expose your rear.
I hope you know that they do make good maternity clothes now….especially for those who can afford it. EVEN TARGET HAS BETTER MATERNITY CLOTHES THAN WHAT YOU ARE WEARING.
You may want people just to leave you alone—BUT YOU MAKE IT TOO EASY FOR THEM TO KEEP LOOKING. You are a train wreck we can’t pull our eyes from—whether you are walking barefoot into a gas station bathroom or nearly dropping your baby.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not a prude. There is a time and a place for revealing tops and short skirts— and a sit-down interview on primetime television is not it.
Stop blaming everyone at home for perceiving you wrong. GOOD PR STARTS AT HOME. When you look good on the outside, you start to feel better on the inside.
Sincerely,
V
P.S. Just in case you were wondering: Thursday night @ 9pm on NBC—I’m so all over it!!!
