Bea Arthur’s posthumous PETA ad
by Roberta Ferguson on Apr.22, 2010, under articles

PETA brought back Golden Girl Bea Arthur from the grave for their new campaign aimed at McDonalds’ chicken slaughtering methods.
Apparently, she left money to them in her will.
What do you think? Poor taste? Or, get ‘m girl?
Kelly Clarkson responds to Jakarta smoking mishap
by Roberta Ferguson on Apr.21, 2010, under articles

Kelly Clarkson was attacked by an anti-tobacco campaign, after they’ve found her Jakarta concert ads supporting L.A. Lights cigarettes.
She has since responded, taking to her official blog to say this:
So ….my morning began with finding out that I am all over billboards, tv ads, and other media formats along side a tobacco company who unbeknownst to me is sponsoring my Jakarta date on my current tour. I was not made aware of this and am in no way an advocate or an ambassador for youth smoking. I’m not even a smoker, nor have I ever been. Unfortunately, my only option at this point was to cancel the show in order to stop the sponsorship. However, I can’t justify penalizing my fans for someone else’s oversight. This is a lose-lose situation for me and I am not happy about it but the damage has been done and I refuse to cancel on my fans. I think the hardest part of situations like this is getting personally attacked for something I was completely unaware of and being used as some kind of political pawn.
Kelly
Either way, she was screwed, so I can’t blame her for going on with the show. What do you think?

Chris Brown to host Haiti benefit concert
by Roberta Ferguson on Apr.21, 2010, under articles

Disgraced R&B singer Chris Brown is set to headline an upcoming benefit concert for the survivors of the Haiti earthquake. He is still trying to rebuild his image, after beating ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, black and blue.
The concert will take place in his home state of Virginia at the Virginia Stand Up! A Call To Action gig on May 15, 2010. The gig will take place at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Also performing are Keri Hilson, T-Pain, Juelz Santana and Mario.
In a statement, Chris said, “I wanted to find a way to contribute personally to the ongoing Haitian relief effort and also support an organization [the Virginia food bank] that helps people in need in my home state.”
Kelly Clarkson attacked over cigarette ads
by Roberta Ferguson on Apr.21, 2010, under articles

Kelly Clarkson has been attacked by the media over being sponsored by a cigarette company for her Jakarta concert on April 29, 2010.
The company has splashed their L.A. Lights logo all over the posters advertising the show, which has anti-smoking activists in an outrage.
The same thing happened to Alicia Keys in Jakarta in 2008, but she insisted the logo be removed from any ads featuring her likeness.
Matt Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids says, “If Kelly Clarkson goes ahead with the concert, she is by choice being a spokesman for the tobacco industry and helping them to market to children. She has the power now to turn this situation around and to send a clear message to Indonesian young people, and frankly, to the young people of the world.”
Pink is not pregnant
by Roberta Ferguson on Apr.21, 2010, under articles

If you were hoping that Pink was getting ready to start a family, then you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Reps for the singer have debunked the rumors that the singer is expecting her first child with husband, Carey Hart.
She sparked speculation that she was expecting when she was spotted sporting a bump. Later in the week, she tweeted this message, “Off to the gym. Lord knows when this 600 pound baby comes out that I’ve been growing for 8 years, I better be strong and physically prepared!!!”
Her publicist debunked the rumors, stating, “Pink is not expecting.” And there you have it!
Courtney Love sick of talking about Kurt Cobain
by Roberta Ferguson on Apr.21, 2010, under articles

Courtney Love has said that she is sick of answering questions about her late husband, Kurt Cobain. So much, that she’s basically pleading with the media to stop asking questions about the late Nirvana rocker.
Courtney and Kurt were married for only two years, but he committed suicide in 1994 at the young age of 27. She has previously answered a slew of questions about Kurt in the past, but now she’s tired of it.
She said, “I am not his spokesperson on Earth. I don’t know what he’d be like now, he could be into society girls, he could be into fat girls, he could be homosexual. We don’t know, he died at 27.”
When speaking about her relationship with her daughter, Frances Bean, she added, “I’m ultimately a widow and a single mother, who’s not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone, it’s freaky.”
Courtney has also adopted her birth name, Courtney Michelle, instead of her stage name, Courtney Love.
Who was eliminated on Dancing With The Stars
by Roberta Ferguson on Apr.20, 2010, under articles

Last night, Kate Gosselin gave us her most awful performance of the season…well, almost.
Kate’s in the bottom two, while Nicole is safe! Woot, we’re almost there! Jake and Chelsie did their Risky Business routine again, for the judges, and to the delight of the audience.
Chad and Cheryl are in jeopardy, while Niecy and Louis are safe. Evan and Anna are also safe, while Jake and Chelsie are in jeopardy. Erin and Maks are safe, while Pamela and Damian are in jeopardy. Joining Kate and Tony in the bottom two are Pamela and Damian. Ugh.
Eliminated on tonight’s show is: KATE GOSSELIN!!!
Madonna calls Glee episode ‘genius’
by Roberta Ferguson on Apr.20, 2010, under articles

Even though there were rumors stating that Madonna said she didn’t own a television and had no idea what Glee is, she has come forth to say that the episode dedicated to her was nothing but genius.
The episode honoring Madge airs tonight, and she couldn’t be more happier about it. She said, “The dialogue and the entire script was genius. I completely appreciated the layers of irony, especially when all those macho boys sang ‘What It Feels Like For A Girl’. I also loved the fantastic performances of ‘Vogue,’ ‘Express Yourself’ and all the messages about the boys being respectful to girls.”
After the jump for a sneak peek at tonight’s Madonna episode! (continue reading…)

Photo: Kate Gosselin begs for votes on Dancing With The Stars
by Roberta Ferguson on Apr.20, 2010, under articles

The dancing clock is ticking for mother of eight Kate Gosselin and when she did another zombie dance last night, things weren’t boding well for her.
The lifeless dancing mannequin has taken to begging friends and family for votes. Ugh. Can this heffer go away already? It’s disgusting that she’s still on the show at all.
And here I was thinking that she’d put her brood up to voting for her a gazillion times. We’ll know for sure after tonight. Her time is up and she must go! Either that, or it’s totally rigged. Show producers don’t want her to go, I’m sure, she brings in the viewers with her awful dances. It’s almost like she makes us feel better about ourselves, all across the nation.
