‘Dancing With The Stars season finale on tonight!
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.23, 2009, under articles
“Dancing With The Stars” is wrapping up their ninth season tonight with the top three, Donny Osmond, Mya, and Kelly Osbourne.
The show will kick off its finale tonight, with dances from all three couples. It’s anybody’s game as to who’s going to come home with the Mirror Ball trophy.
Kelly is ready, she just tweeted, “The dr just left my feet are not looking so hot but at least I will be able to dance the injections really hurt this time :(”
Hopefully she will be alright to dance up a storm tonight. My prediction is that Mya will come out on top as she’s been A1 throughout the show. Donny has done a pretty nice job, as well. Kelly has danced her socks off, but is she good enough to win it all?
What do you think? Who are you rooting for?
Chris Brown dropped from Timbaland’s song ‘The One I Love’
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.23, 2009, under articles
Timbaland has just dropped Chris Brown from his song “The One I Love” due to all of the drama surrounding Chris’ antics.
A source said that the axing was a “creative decision for both parties. They even offered up a sincere “There’s nothing against Chris. We love Chris.” Sure you do, but you don’t want that maniac on your album, do you?
The song’s original was just that, “Maniac”, but the title was scrapped due to Chris’ part in it. It was changed because people thought it wouldn’t have been a good career move to associate the two.
Both Chris’ and Timbaland’s albums drop on December 8, 2009. Coincidence?
I bet that burns a little!

ABC bombarded with Adam Lambert complaints
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.23, 2009, under articles
ABC has said that the network has received over 1,500 calls in complaint regarding Adam Lambert’s performance from the American Music Awards last night.
The performance (view here) was seen as sexually themed with an S&M twist. Online commenters also complained at the show’s provocative nature. ABC said that the response was “moderate”, but Adam said that he wanted to break down the double standard between male and female performers.
It’s a shame that this is 2009 and people are still whining about TV performances. Get it together, guys. This isn’t the 1950′s and people need to be more accepting. You can’t tell me that you had your children watching this poor man’s Grammys….not and have me believe it anyways.

Jennifer Lopez said she meant to fall – audio
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.23, 2009, under articles
Jennifer Lopez talked to Ryan Seacrest earlier today about last tonight’s American Music Awards fall. It was said that she threw a hissy fit of epic proportions after the fall, backstage.
“Did I trip a little bit? I don’t even remember. I meant to do that, what are you talking about? You should know me better than that, that was part of the choreography. The measure of things is not what happens when you fall, it’s how you handle when you fall.”
Check out the audio of their talk, after the jump! (continue reading…)
Adam Lambert’s AMAs performance video
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.23, 2009, under articles
Adam Lambert made his awards show debut at tonight’s American Music Awards, at the Nokia Theater. He performed his first single, “For Your Entertainment”, and while it was a bit risque, I don’t see what the big deal is.
He was new to the awards show stage and yet he still took some risks. He made out with a guy after shoving another guy’s face into his nether regions.
It was risque when Madonna did “Vogue” in the nineties, as well. She lifted up her dress for a guy’s face, shoved two guys’ faces into her chest and let another squeeze her boobs. So what’s the difference? This was the nineties.
Tonight, Adam Lambert kissed a guy, fondled a girl (shocker!) and shoved some guy’s face in his crotch. Is this really a big deal?
He talked to “Rolling Stone” about the possible censorship of the re-broadcast of the AMAs. He said that if the west coast broadcast of the show was censored, it would be “discrimination.”
He’s absolutely correct. It wasn’t that big of a deal, so put your big girl panties on and relax.
The performance, after the jump! (continue reading…)
2009 American Music Awards winners
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.22, 2009, under articles
The 2009 American Music Awards are underway and we’ve already had some pretty awesome performances. Held at the Nokia Theater, the awards show commenced with an eight-minute performance by Janet Jackson.
So far the greatest performance of the evening goes to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ song, “Empire State Of Mind”. Also performing tonight were Daughtry, Shakira, Kelly Clarkson, Keith Urban, Lady Gaga, Mary J. Blige, Carrie Underwood, the Black Eyed Peas, and more.
My favorite performance of the entire night was Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and “Speechless”. To separate the songs, she broke the glass wall that encased her piano. It was so over the top and great, definitely the best performance of the night.
And the winners: (continue reading…)
Jennifer Lopez falls during AMAs performance of ‘Louboutins’
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.22, 2009, under articles
Jennifer Lopez tried to bring it tonight, but fell short….literally.
Michael Buffer introduced the singer and she performed her newest song from “Love?”, titled “Louboutins”. While performing, she walked on stairsteps made of men and took a tumble as she tried to get down. She ended up falling flat on her butt.
She recovered quickly….but not quickly enough to save that mess of a song.
Check out the video! (continue reading…)
Lady Gaga sings ‘Bad Romance’ & ‘Speechless’ At The AMAs
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.22, 2009, under articles
Lady Gaga performed her newest hit song, “Bad Romance” along with “Speechless” at tonight’s American Music Awards.
She really killed it tonight and debuted her new ballad “Speechless” from “The Fame Monster”. She took to the piano after breaking the glass encasing. As always, her performance was a grand spectacle. But we wouldn’t have it any other way, would we?

Jennifer Lopez’s new song, ‘Louboutins’ leaked
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.20, 2009, under articles
Jennifer Lopez’s new album, “Love” will mark her return to music, and those expecting something fabulous from Jenny From The Block are going to be sorely disappointed.
As a matter of fact, the only thing that I got from this track was the correct pronunciation of “Louboutins”. Hey, I’m a music writer, not a fashion mogul. Hear it for yourself, after the jump! (continue reading…)
Rihanna treats employees like crap?
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.20, 2009, under articles
Princess RiRi gets what Princess RiRi wants…and when she wants it!
Apparently, Rihanna is not the nicest employer a person could ask for. She pays you to be on time, and if you’re running late, it’s cause for panic. At least on her end.
According to sources, she was awaiting her car outside of a London nightclub and had a hissy fit when it wasn’t there when she expected it. One of her people started making calls, and Rihanna said, “Where the f*** is my car? I mean it guys, you’ve now got 30 seconds to get me my car or someone is losing their employment. I f***ing mean it, 10 seconds and I get nasty.”
It’s a good thing that her driver arrived right after she said that. She’d fire someone a month before Christmas and not bat a lash.

Lady Gaga to sing for the Queen of England?
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.19, 2009, under articles
Lady Gaga may want to put away the skimpy clothes and don something more appropriate for this special performance. She has been invited to perform at this year’s Royal Variety Performance for the Queen herself.
Aids to the Queen are hoping that Gaga will turn into Stefani Germanotta for the event and tone it down some.
A spokesman for the palace said, “I really don’t know if the Queen or Prince Philip have listened to Lady Gaga, or are familiar with her. But the Royal Variety Performance is a well-known charitable event which they support and meet all the stars involved.”
Wild! I’m sure she is honored to play for the Queen and won’t make a mockery out of it. But, just in case, maybe they need to Google her to see what they’re in for?

by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.19, 2009, under articles
Eminem has just tweeted the news that he plans on dropping “Relapse: Refill” on December 21, 2009!
He plans on releasing “Relapse 2″ soon, but to tide us over, he’s giving us the Refill album, which includes seven bonus tracks, “Forever” and “Taking My Ball”.
He said, “I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned. Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year.”
Are you excited? Or was “Relapse” less than stellar for you? I liked it, I don’t care what anyone else says.

Kelly Osbourne fears relapsing after ‘Dancing With The Stars’
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.19, 2009, under articles
After Kelly Osbourne finishes her stint on “Dancing With The Stars”, she fears that she will turn back into her old habits.
She said that she’s concerned about relapsing back into substance abuse when she has more free time.
She said, “When I’m busy and not left with me in my own head, I’m fine. I worry about when the show stops – slipping back into negativity, drink and drugs. I’m taking precautions so I won’t get in that position. My life when I drink is so dark and miserable.”
What I worry about with her is that after she has her foot surgery, she’ll slip into abusing prescription drugs again, because of the medications she will receive.
I hope she’s okay, just the same. I’m rooting for her on the show and hope she wins, she has a huge fan base and is doing rather well on the show.

Amy Winehouse hospitalized with leaky boobs
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.19, 2009, under articles
Amy Winehouse was hospitalized recently for what was thought to be a mixup in her medication, but has been revealed to be leaky breast implants.
Her father, Mitch confirmed that it was actually because of her new boob job. He said while pointing to his chest, “It wasn’t because she had a cold. She’s fine, she just had a little leaky something or other.”
A friend of hers said, “She saw something oozing out of her top. To see stuff seeping out was horrible.”
Her dad seems creepy to me…I can’t imagine my dad talking about my boobs on national television, or at all for that matter. What a creep.

Pete Wentz dishes on Fall Out Boy rumors
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.19, 2009, under articles
Perez Hilton posted an article earlier today, claiming that Pete Wentz thinks his relationship with Ashlee Simpson has become a hindrance to the band.
When one fan caught wind of this, she tweeted Pete to get the news directly from the source. She said, “@petewentz PETE! what the f*ck is this about dude!? http://perezhilton.com/2009… is it true!?!?” (Not linking to said article.)
His response was classic, he said, “yeah a unicorn fact-checked it, ash loves fob.”
Perez employs unicorns? Or even fact checkers, for that matter?

Rumor has it that Britney Spears is working on her followup to 2008′s release of “Circus” and she will be releasing it next year.

John Mayer defends Kanye West
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.18, 2009, under articles
John Mayer wants us all to GIVE KANYE WEST A BREAK, OKAY? I dunno what happened there, I think that statement was possessed by some caps loving freak…
Even though Kanye pulled a stage hijacking that got ripped on for a good month, John is calling on all of us to just let it go already. Note to John: We’ve let it go already, why are you bringing it up again?
He said, “Here’s how we work in America: We raise them and then we drop them…It went like this: ‘That was messed up Kanye! You deserve a punishment.’ Then, all of a sudden, the punishment got so severe, I was like, ‘Time out!’
He added, “If you just woke up now and you looked at the backlash on Kanye, you’d think that he actually firebombed the stage…It’s the MTV Video Music Awards. It’s not the G8 summit. I think he’s remorseful. I think this guy’s got to be reconsidering how he’s gonna act, and that’s fine. We learn from our little mistakes that happen in public.”
Wah wah wah….
