Christina Aguilera’s Goth Look Failed to Mask Bad Performance

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, MTV, Editorial, Gossip, Video

To begin, I will be outright honest and admit that I tuned into MTV’s 2008 Video Music Awards last night in hopes of seeing Britney Spears make a [second] comeback performance, despite the comments from her people saying that she definitely would not appear. So I held out until the end of the show, surprisingly allowing myself to concede to an awards show I was clearly out of touch with (the only video I had seen prior to the night was “Piece of Me”).

With that being said, I was still very much excited by all of the performances throughout the night, save Christina Aguilera‘s sad excuse for one.

Aguilera, Richie Share Same Delivery Date

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip

UPDATE: Christina Aguilera reports on her own website that her son, Max Liron Bratman, was actually born on Saturday.

Thanks to Britney Spears’ hospitalization and Dennis Quaid’s overdosed babies, LA’s Cedars-Sinai hospital has been receiving a lot of unwanted publicity lately.  Hopefully two highly-anticipated deliveries at the facility yesterday will (temporarily) direct the media’s attention toward other celebrity matters.

• Celebutante Nicole Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden welcomed a a 6 lb., 7 oz. baby Friday.  (This birth officially brings Richie’s weight back down to “0”.) The girl, named Harlow Winter Kate Madden, is the first child for both The Simple Life star, 26, and the rocker, 28.  Plans for a wedding will be set at a later time.
• Same place, different time.  E! Online is reporting that singer Christina Aguilera, 27, and husband Jordan Bratman, 30, are also proud new parents.  According to a text message sent out yesterday, the couple welcomed their child sometime around 4pm yesterday.  No other details have yet been released.

In other baby news, actress Courtney Thorne-Smith (According to Jim) and her husband, Roger Fishman, introduced a son Friday: Jacob Emerson Fishman.  One day prior, David Alan Grier (In Living Color) and his wife, Christine Y. Kim, said hello to daughter Luisa Danbi Grier-Kim.  Both couples are first-time parents.

Congrats to all the new moms and dads!

The 2007 MTV Video Music Awards

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, Cable, MTV, Cable/Satellite

Before this evening’s festivities begin, the producers of the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards should really thank the scandal-plagued artists who’ve unintentionally thrown publicity their way.  Tonight, we’ll be thinking about those performers who’ve canceled because they need to be in rehab (Amy Winehouse) and closely watching those who should probably go back (Britney Spears).

We’d been warning you for weeks that this would be a one-time only telecast, but in case you forgot—we hope this helps.  And for those who live on the West Coast (like me), you can play along and read our coverage as if it were in real-time:
