Just kidding, K-Fed, you’ll remain unemployed throughout 2007–call it a hunch.

From a recent article at the Houston Chronicle, Beyonce’ has moved scouting for backup dancers to Houston, Texas.

After holding auditions in Atlanta and Los Angeles, Beyonce’s search for 40 of the most talented dancers in the country stopped in Houston on Saturday.

Women were dressed in hoodies, dance shorts and dangerously high heels, while men were in tank tops and sweat pants. They lined the Barbara King Studios in Bellaire three-deep, hoping for their 30-second shot of fame.

In all, 30 people from each city will be chosen and flown to either New York or Los Angeles. From there, the group of women and men, who had auditioned earlier in the day, would be whittled down to 40. Gaston told the anxious hopefuls that although it would be hard work, the payoff was worth it.

“This is a great opportunity for you if you make it,” choreographer Frank Gaston told the women. “You earn between $1,500 and $3,000 a week, but beyond that, the fringe benefits are amazing. Beyonce’ performs all over, and she will need backup dancers for those performances,” he said.

Perhaps they should televise it ala “Grease: You’re The One That I Want”. I’d watch it.

In New York on January 12, 2007, Van Halen, R.E.M., Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, The Ronettes, and Patty Smith are set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Van Halen’s most noted tunes included that of “Hot For Teacher”, “Jump”, and “When It’s Love”. Van Halen is one of seven rock groups that have had two albums sell more than ten million copies in the United States. Other artists that have accomplished this feat include Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, Def Leppard, and The Beatles.

R.E.M. is most noted for the tunes, “Stand”, “Orange Crush”, and “Losing My Religion”. When Rolling Stone named R.E.M. “America’s Best Band” in November 1987, drummer Bill Berry said, “We’re not the best rock ‘n’ roll band in America.” Pylon, he said, was the best.

Via Yahoo, R.E.M.’s lead singer, Michael Stipe had this to say:

“R.E.M. and myself in particular are really terrible at looking backward, we kind of as a band continually look forward so it’s really fantastic that someone, especially the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, are looking backward to recognize the work that we’ve done.”

Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five gave us the basis of what hip hop music is today. Their biggest hit, “The Message” brought us a new sound, in a time where hip hop music was a pioneering musical form. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five pioneered emceeing, freestyle battles, and invented some of the staple phrases in emceeing. They performed at Disco Fever in the Bronx beginning in 1978.

The Ronettes, of course, bring no memories to mind. That is, of course, because they were a girl group of the sixties. Their claims to fame include: “Be My Baby”, “Baby I Love You”, and “Walking In The Rain”.

Another artist of which nothing comes to mind would be Patty Smith. Not to be confused with Patty Smyth of Scandal fame, Patty Smith’s singles included, “Because The Night”, “Frederick”, and “Dancing Barefoot”.

To be eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, artists must have issued a first single or album at least 25 years before nomination. Congrats to the inductees.

Britney has definitely seen her ups and downs in the past year. From divorcing her leech of a husband, Kevin Federline, to having two kids with that schmuck, to going out amongst many paparazzi, sans panties.

Britney Spears has definitely made a name for herself in the process of making a comeback, and it has nothing to do with being a pop princess. Where I was once sure that people would flock in masses to buy her new CD, now I’m not so sure.

In my opinion, I would think that Ms. Spears would need to cool it for a while. Maybe lay low and practice being a good mother to her two young children. They need to remember what mommy looks like. She needs to move back to the principle of being a model of what real people, like you and me, can identify with.

Per a report from PageSix yesterday, Dita Von Teese has filed for divorce from shock rocker Marilyn Manson, citing irreconcilable differences.

Marilyn Manson, A.K.A. Brian Werner, was nowhere to be found to be apprised of the situation:

Sources say the raven-haired bombshell filed for the split right before Christmas, but Manson has been unaware of it because she couldn’t get in touch with him.

“He’s not been responsive,” a friend said. “She loved him so much, but he has too many demons. He can’t even communicate with her at this point. She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can’t even get him on the phone. She moved out of the house and he hasn’t even noticed.”

Via Playfuls, we found that the couple had no children and this was a first marriage for both of them.

Also, that Marilyn was quite the ladies man:

In the past, Manson has been linked to or involved with Melissa “Missi” Romero, Traci Lords and Jenna Jameson who wrote about her sexual encounter with Manson in her autobiography, “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale” in which she noted him as being “enormously endowed”.

Manson was previously engaged to actress Rose McGowan, but their relationship ended around the time he became involved with his now estranged wife.

My thoughts on Marilyn Manson are this: The band makes great music and has an awesome following. What I’m failing to see is why these women are hooking up with this guy. I mean, sure, he’s a megastar, but dude has issues. Another thing, he wears more makeup than any average woman and he looks sorta scary.

Dita, however, has claimed that she didn’t use him to further her career and has said that she really did love him. This, just goes to show you, that there’s someone out there for everyone. Or not.

Performed by Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg on SNL, it’s “Dick In A Box”! Enjoy the lyrics to this hilarious tune.

Hey girl I got somethin’ real important to give you
So just sit down and listen
Girl you know we’ve been together
such a long long time (such a long time)
And now I’m ready to lay it on the line
(Wooow) You know it’s Christmas and my heart is open wide
Gonna give you something so you know what’s on my mind
A gift real special, so take off the top
Take a look inside — it’s my dick in a box
Not gonna get you a diamond ring
That sort of gift don’t mean anything
Not gonna get you a fancy car
Girl ya gotta know you’re my shining star
Not gonna get you a house in the hills
A girl like you needs somethin’ real
Wanna get you somethin’ from the heart
Somethin’ special girl
It’s my dick in a box, my dick in a box babe
It’s my dick in a box, my dick in a box girl
See I’m wise enough to know when a gift needs givin’ (yeah)
And I got just the one, somethin’ to show ya that you are second to none
To all the fellas out there with ladies to impress
It’s easy to do just follow these steps
1: Cut a hole in a box
2: Put your junk in that box
3: Make her open the box
And that’s the way you do it
It’s my dick in a box… my dick in a box babe
It’s my dick in a box, my dick in a box girl
Christmas; dick in a box
Hanukkah; dick in a box
Kwanzaa; a dick in a box
Every single holiday a dick in a box
Over at your parent’s house a dick in a box
Mid day at the grocery store a dick in a box
Backstage at the CMA’s a dick in a box (yeah-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow)
A dick in a box, a dick in a box, a dick in a box…
