Finding Bliss - 2009 Slamdance Premiere
Well, at least if you base your decision on her rendition of the song. She performed during the 7th inning stretch of the Chicago Cubs game on Friday. Self-admittedly, the rendition was horrific.

The U2 Way

A Portion Of West 53rd Street Is Temporarily Renamed

No, it’s not a figure of speech. It is actually the name of a street in New York – part of the 53rd Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue. Mayor Bloomberg honored the band by temporarily renaming that street. Way to go Mayor!

Hugh Jackman Talks Downsizing

Nomad Two Worlds Preview Exhibit

I didn’t know that Hugh Jackman could sing! And he could dance too. I don’t know much about his opening number as host of the Oscars but the theme of his opening speech was “downsizing.” He said that there was no budget for the opening number so he did one anyway. Pretty different but pretty cool, I think. He really is a hunk.

59th Annual ACE Eddie Awards - Show

That’s what everyone is saying about the Oscars, despite the fact that organizers are doing all that they can to shake things up more than a little bit. I suppose that the fact that most everyone knows which and who are going to win – or at least we think we do – makes the prospect of spending the evening watching the Oscars not so exciting. Are you watching?

Peter Gabriel Says NO To The Oscars

The 4th Annual Focus For Change: Benefit Concert In Support Of Witness

Peter Gabriel was due to perform at the Oscars but he has declined gracefully. The reason? He was only going to be given a minute or so to perform his WALL-E tune, which has been nominated. His reason? It is not enough time to do the tune justice.

Beyonce To Sing For The Obamas

The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards - ET Red Carpet Arrivals

In several days, we will have a new president and guess who has the honors of singing as the first couple dances their first dance? Lucky Beyonce Knowles. On the other hand, it is not everyday that you get to have her sing for you as you dance, either right?

Carrie Underwoods has a breakdown

Carrie Underwood had an uber-emotional performance at Atlanta, breaking down mid-chorus of her song, “Don’t Forget to Remember Me.” Her rep says the song was inspired by her mother, and speculates the verses may have triggered memories of home.

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolina narrowly escaped a serious “wardrobe malfunction”  at the premiere of
Beowulf when her skin-tight black leather pants started to split at the seams near the hem. Brad Pitt saved the day by hiding the rip with his palm, and holding it up while the actress continued to smile — as poised as ever — at photographers.

Then the poor woman stepped into a wad of gum. Ah, some days,  nothing goes right.

Lord of the Rings Hobbit Auditons Theatre Royal in London

hobbit-height-stage-production.jpgTheatre Royal is looking for hobbits, you game?  Well, you’ll have to fit in under the five feet, seven inches banner and that most assuredly rules me out of the hobbit running.

The Central London theatre is holding auditions for the stage productions of Lord of the Rings, let’s hope it’s shorter than the movie & as good as the books.

The producers are looking for twenty hobbits to hire, preferably with hairy feet & toes.  If you fit the bill, head on over & get to hobbiting.



Britney Spears Press Confrence.jpg

Britney Spears is holding a press conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center today.  It’s almost been a millennium since she held her last conference, so this is kinda big, like her new look, big.  Anyone else miss the old Brit?  The attractive one with a convincing smile, not the one we see today trying to smile through the K-Fed marriage & dropped babies.

What is this press conference going to be about, Britney?  I’m thinking she either captured Osama bin Laden with her teeth in the woods; or she has converted to Scientology; or she’s finally coming to her senses and leaving her red neck husband Kevin Federline; or she’s going to reveal what everyone and their brother already know- she’s pregnant yet again, and a baby girl is on the way. 

Britney has yet to reveal why she has invited select media, journalist and record industry reps to the convention center, but one question seems to tap at my brain- will K-Fed be a part of this special Spears talk? With his new record on the loose, will he try & upstage his wife for musical attention?

“K-Fed’s the bomb now,” says a friend of the couple. “He’s the one who’s cut a record and performed in public most recently—and who doesn’t look totally gross in sweat pants. Britney’s got to do something other than drive around with her baby on her lap to get attention. I guess this ‘mysterious’ press conference is it.”

News has circulated that there may be marital problems between Britney Spears & Kevin Federline.  Reports of K-Fed’s marijuana use, compulsive spending and his practice of a hands-off theory of parenting have culminated to an unhappy marital affair.

“She can’t stand the thought of playing second banana to a guy who used to carry her [sanitary napkin] bag,” said the friend. “But whether she’s leaving Hollywood, quitting show business, or running for governor, all eyes are going to be on K-Fed if he shows up today.”

To tell you the truth, I’m hoping for the Laden in her teeth scenario.
