Britney’s Circus, up in smoke
Thursday, April 9th, 2009
Just three songs in at her Vancouver stop on the Circus tour, Brit Brit stopped the show and left the stage for nearly half an hour. The reason? Cigarette and/or marijuana smoke. That’s right, the nicotine addict herself pulled the plug due to smoke inhalation. How ironic.
Upon her exit from the stage, a voice came over a loud speaker saying, “The building is awfully smoky. It is uncomfortable for everyone on stage, including Ms. Spears. Please extinguish all cigarettes – this is a non-smoking building, and the show will resume when the smoke on the stage is cleared.
Boos ensued and the sold out crowd never got back it’s vibe. Britney did return to the stage to finish the show. And she even ended it with a strange send-off to fans…
“Drive safe, don’t smoke weed and rock out with your c**ks out! Peace mother f**kers!”
Is she serious? She seems to be doing a great job with this comeback of hers, but the recent terets-like outbursts make her sound like an idiot. Just last week, she ended a concert with the same “rock out with your stuff out” saying.
Naughty Queen of Country: I’m Sorry Matthew
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009Sunday night’s Academy of Country Music Awards brought a few surprises to both winners and announcers alike. Carrie Underwood, awarded Entertainer of the Year, raced onstage to accept her trophy without a prepared speech.
Handing over the award was hunky Matthew McConaughey, who had just thanked George Strait for helping him get “lucky” some years ago with a story about designing boots for George Strait. The culmination of both ends up, well, like this…
“I don’t know what to say. I got nothin’ … I want to see those boots, Matthew.”
What? We all think things like that about Matthew McHotaughey, but never blurt them out on national television! Especially not as an acceptance speech for one of the biggest honors in country music! Carrie apologized for her in-the-moment remarks almost immediately to FOX news. Saying, “I’m so embarrassed, I totally embarrassed myself. I just blanked. You want to say something eloquent in a moment like that and I embarrassed myself.”
“I’m sorry Matthew, I’m sorry to my family,” she says. “I’m totally embarrassed.”
The split heard round the world
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson have officially called it quits….for now. In a statement released on Monday, Lohan said “We are taking a brief break so I can focus on myself.”

But it seems Linds is still focusing on Samantha. Not long after she released her break-up statement, Samantha Ronson’s mother (Ann) and sister (Charlotte) were spotted at the Beverly Hills police department inquiring about a restraining order against Lilo.
“She does these things to get attention… She was trying to get into my party this weekend,” Charlotte explained to the clerk. “We had had to tell security to keep her out. Then she booked a room at the Chateau Marmont. Her room was right below [us]… She also followed our brother Mark around.”
“She got up illegally to our room… She does these acts of public humiliation. It is all for attention,” Charlotte continued. “[Lindsay] is publicly humiliating [Sam]… She is trying to send out a message.”
The mom and daughter duo also told police that Lindsay was doing drugs and cutting herself. Guess we shall see how long the break-up lasts. Stay tuned for more Lindsanity.
Bristol’s Beau Blabs
Monday, April 6th, 2009Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin is once again in the spot light. Despite defeat in the presidential race, the media continues to follow her family’s every move. Just last week, reports were abuzz about her sister-in-law’s arrest in their hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. After breaking in to the same home, twice, Diana Palin was arrested and charged with two counts of felony burgulary.
As if the spot light on the Palins weren’t bright enough, former boyfriend of daughter Bristol Palin appears on the Tyra Banks show today. It appears that he and his family were there for no other reason than Palin-bashing. Johnston tells Tyra that he believes Sarah Palin knew he and Bristol, 18, were having sex when they lived under her roof.
“I’m pretty sure she probably knew. Moms are pretty smart,” Johnston says.
The Palin camp responded:
“Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We’re disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship,” says the statement from the Palin family rep.
“Bristol’s focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence,” the statement continues. “It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child.”
It was just a few short weeks ago that Johnston appeared on Good Morning America, practically begging to be back with Bristol and his son, Tripp. Levi even stated that he had some maturing to do before marriage.
Levi, you’re an idiot. You have clearly blown any chance of reconciliation with the first family of Alaska. You can’t go on national television and blame Sarah Palin for the woes of your fornication.
Tweenage Mutant Mini Divas
Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Pre-teen grooming is not a new ritual. But forget a hot new hair cut or the pampered pedicure, tweens are opting for facials and bikini waxes. (Yes, bikini waxes!) Typical painted tips and toes have morphed into a full-on spa day complete with massage and microdermabrasion.
It is estimated that 43 percent of 6-9 year-olds in America use lipstick, and 38 percent use hairstyling products. It doesn’t stop there, the Today Show explored the new world of tween spa days and found that tweens are endulging in much more. Watch the Today Show interview here, Tween Video.
