Alanis Morisette, best known for her angsty songs, has plenty of new emotional material now that her ex is engaged to Scarlett Johanssen. The two broke up years ago, which she reveals, caused her to
hit rock bottom. But she’s okay now, and with a CD that chronicles her climb back to sanity. If life is fair, she’ll get a Grammy for her pain.

When Madonna told Justin TImberlake to strip, he stripped

“Nice top shelf,” she said.

Justin fondly recalls that moment “as one of the greatest days of my life.”

At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, Justin returns the compliment, praising Madonna for her “shapely body of work” and how she’s “always been a woman on top” who “fully enjoys that position.”

Her reply? “I’ll get you, f—–!”

Oh, get a room, you two.

Britney Spear’s new video “Break the Ice” will debut at 6:30 ET today — and fans get to join her.

The video will be released at BlackOutBall.com. Fans can get to join the online party, where an anime Britney will mingle. (Fortunately, this version of the pop star won’t get drunk, high, or flirt with any paparazzi.)
.
The clip itself was directed by Robert Hales, who also did the Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” video.

Our congratulations to the production company for thinking of a way to produce the video while the real Britney was having a nervous breakdown. We assume the animations were made while she was going in and out of the hospital, and gallivanting around town with paparazzi.

Celebrific sends its birthday greetings to Carrie Underwood, whose American Idol performances catapulted her from herding cattle to a stellar singing career, numerous awards, and millions of loyal fans.

What, you say you’re the biggest fan? Prove it with this Carrie Underwood quiz.

The nominations for the 2007 MTV Music Video Awards are finally in, it seems like it takes longer each passing year.  And guess who’s leading the pack?  None other than Justin Timberlake & Beyonce Knowles, each with 7 nods. 

Among the noms, Justin & Beyonce have been nominated for Video of the Year & Male and Female Artist of the Year, respectively.

Should be a good one this year!

Singing sensation Christina Aguilera has canceled her last two concerts in Australia after her doctors diagnosed with “a viral upper respiratory tract infection with a high fever and abnormal coughing.”  Well, that doesn’t seem like the best condition to be singing in, not to mention the pregnancy.

Xtina is in the land Down Under wrapping up her latest ginormous tour while being preggo.  In a statement to her Aussie fans, Christina said, “I want to personally apologize to all of my fans for having to cancel my last two shows here in Melbourne. Unfortunately, I have fallen ill with a bad flu virus. This is one of the best cities in the world to perform in and I am truly disappointed that I won’t be able to share my show with you all. Thank you for all of the continued love and support and I hope to perform for you all again next time.”

Xtina’s doctors have ordered the singer to enjoy some bed rest.  Wishing you a speedy recovery, Christina!

Crotchflasher Britney Spears has a new look in town.  We’re calling in the widow hooker look, whatcha think?

Apparently Spears isn’t just walking around the city in this outfit, she’s putting a music video together for her song “Get Back.”  Hopefully the video will bring back a little something that we actually saw in Brit several years ago.

You know, before the whole head shaving, K-Fed-loving, ranting & raving Britney took over.  Here’s hoping for a stellar performance!

Singer Nelly Furtado was looking chipper as she posed for pictures at Miami’s Mansion nightclub on Wednesday.

Nelly & crew were celebrating her summer tour that unfortunately ends sooner that we want, on June 23 in Las Vegas.  At least Nelly can make some wishes with those candles & get back on stage quick.

Well, in an unsuprising turn of events, it looks like Guns N’ Roses walked out on a bill from their 2006 tour.

According to TMZ, who apparently have a copy of the lawsuit being filed, members of the rock band ditched the bill of a logistics company hired for their last tour. 

Starlift Logistics out of New Jersey were hired to transport & provide touring services for Guns but from the looks of the court document, leading member Axl Rose walked out on the $107,000 bill.

Hmmm, looks like they’re going to need another tour to pay for this one…..  Who even went to that tour anyway?

A fair amount of celebs showed up for the Australian MTV Music Awards Sunday night.

Pink, Good Charlotte, 30 Seconds to Mars & Fergie, of course, showed up for the big event down under & even took home a statue, along with that 80s-licious banana outfit.

And a big congrats to Pink, who actually looks close to feminine!

Sexypants shaker & singer Shakira performed in front of a sold out crowd on Wednesday.

The crowd, who was everyone from the Middle East to Portugal, screamed themselves hoarse as Shakira took the Lisbon stage on her Oral Fixation tour. 

You know, I think I might have an oral fixation myself, and her name is Shakira.

On Monday hottiepants Beyonce Knowles got up a little early & headed on down to CBS to perform live for The Early Show.  The performance was just like any other, just throw in another bad dress & you get the idea.

Beyonce is promoting her new album, B’Day The Deluxe Edition.  I’m not sure why the singer/actress couldn’t get another music album together instead of trying to tap into more cash on her B’Day record.  But I guess the girl has to buy a wardrobe of zebra dresses somehow….

You tell me- what do you think of Beyonce’s CBS look?

I can’t say this album was highly anticipated by the masses, because most of us don’t even know who Belgian Tony Parker is, but the San Antonino Spur recently released a rap album the likes of which no one really liked.

“Desperate Housewives” actress Eva Longoria cheered her fiance on as he released his very first (and last) rap album this week.  Unfortunately ”Balance-toi” was not the rap album of the year.

Parker basically brags (more than most) about his lavish life in a semi-rappish style, much to the chagrin of these ears of mine.  The only thing going for Tony with his new album, is that most of the lyrics are in French.  For some handy dandy (& a little scary) translations of his rhymes, check out the Village Voice. 

We all just think that Parker should stick to the things he knows best:  marrying older & uglier women and playing ball.

Apparently Bryan Adams is still clinging to any celebrity that he still might have by performing in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil today. 

The old man singer was spotted in a crowd of plenty trying to belt out any songs that we might all still remember.  The fact that Bryan Adams is still around wasn’t that surprising to me, but the fact that we still care about this washed-up singer didn’t sit too well.

Ricky Martin doesn’t really like U.S. President George W. Bush so much. 

During a recent performance in Puerto Rico Martin gave a gesture when he sang his popular song “Asignatura Pendiente.”

In the song there is a line in the lyrics that goes a little something like this, “A photo with Bush….”  During this particular line Martin have the crowd of 18,000 fans a show of his middle finger.

After Ricky boy gave Bush the F-you treatment, the crowd fell into crazy cheering & support. 

What do you think of little Ricky now?

The beloved & hated alike Dixie Chicks took home five Grammy awards Sunday.  The music group is said to now be breaking up after the awards show so that the chicks can spend more time at home with their families & baby chicks.   

“”The Dixie Chicks won all five awards they were nominated for, sweet vindication after the superstars’ lives were threatened and sales plummeted when Maines criticized President Bush on the eve of the Iraq war in 2003. Almost overnight, one of the most successful groups of any genre was boycotted by Nashville and disappeared from country radio.

With “Taking the Long Way,� the women relied on producer Rick Rubin’s guidance for an album that was more rock and less country. (Rubin, who also produced “Stadium Arcadium,� was honored as producer of the year.)

The standing ovations the Chicks received Sunday illustrated how much the political climate has changed regarding the Iraq war, and even Bush.

“That’s interesting,� Maines crowed from the podium after the country award was handed out earlier in the night. “Well, to quote the great ‘Simpsons’ — ‘Heh-Heh.’

“Just kidding,� added Maines. “A lot of people just turned their TVs off right now. I’m very sorry for that.�

Bandmate Emily Robison noted, “We wouldn’t have done this album without everything we went through, so we have no regrets.â€�”

That was a silly bit, quoting the Simpsons like that, Maines.  So, I wonder with five Grammys, will the Dixie Chicks really go through with the breakup?

Well, now that we already have the scoop on “Dick in a Box” we can now bask in pictures of Justin Timberlake performing the song.

On Wednesday Timberlake took the stage at Madison Square Gardens to reprise the song “Dick in a Box” from that SNL skit mentioned earlier.  Special guest Andy Samberg joined Justin on stage for the duet & the audience loved it.

Timberlake spoke to the crowd just prior to singing the hilarious song, saying, ”I’m sorry if I offended some of you, but I could not resist.”

Well, maybe I’ll give liking Justin Timberlake another chance, he’ll just always be that boy band guy to me.

You tell me- Do you think J T is better than sliced bread?

Thanks to People for the image.

Thanks to HollywoodTuna we have this great image of Fergie showing off her panties (unfortunately no more than that) at Super Bowl XLI.  I was, as I’m sure we all were, hoping for a little bit more from the Black Eyed Pea, but I guess we’ll just have to take what we can get.

I think there’s a new panty-ed Hollywood these days.  First Lindsay Lohan decided to don them & now our Fergie is taunting us with the undergarmets!  Ohhh, the good ole days of the pantyless.  Those were the days….
