Brits Surprised By Britney’s Mimed Performance On X-Factor.

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Britney was called up by Simon Cowell to perform on the live UK reality show “X-Factor” (the United States equivalent to “American Idol) to stage a comeback performance. Successfully Britney’s appearance attracted the series’s highest audience of 12.8 million. But, it wasn’t all Cheetos and frappes for the orange-stained-fingered star.

Britney pissed off the Brits by performing in true Britney style…prancing out in skimpy attire and NOT showcasing her voice.

In fact, on the show that features wanna-be singers, Brit did not sing a lick. According to a source, Britney mimed to her new hit “Womanizer” on the show on Saturday night, apparently because she wanted to concentrate fully on her dance routine. By contrast, all the contestants, who are not professional singers, had to deliver their own performance live.

All the contestants I am sure felt pretty good about their performances after seeing the Britster “live”. Unfortunately, they may not ever be as famous Britney is or was. Such is life!

Terri Seymour Has Green On Her Mind.

Despite her recent breakup with Simon Cowell, Terri Seymour seems to be dealing well. I mean, look at that smile!

Newly single Terri strut her stuff on the red carpet for her first public appearance since the end of her six year relationship with the crabby American Idol judge.

Either charity work makes her smile or the millions Simon dished out as a parting gift really made the breakup worth it. I suppose it could be both. However, I’m thinking the big payday is a major reason why she has that corny smile on her face. The woman is wearing green for gawd’s sake. Girlfriend has money on her mind!

Ironic? I think not!

Britney To Take On X-Factor?

Let the Britney buzz continue!

Now that Britney has confirmed her album release date AND her new single release date, we are all dying to know WHO is gonna get that first performance bid. Right? Right.

Sorry my fellow Americans, I really hate to break your little Cheeto-loving hearts, but it is looking like it is NOT going to be us. Yeah, I’m cryin’ a freakin’ river over here. But hey at least someone is getting the good news. A year ago we never would’ve dreamed our little train wreck would be gracing the stage with her presence.

Rumor has it that our buddies across the pond have reason to bust open the Cheetos and order up the frappachinos! UK, you win this time. And, perhaps you have Simon Cowell to thank for that.

According to a source, we have been told that the Britster will be making her first performance in 4 years on the hit show “X Factor” (the UK version of American Idol).

An inside source from the ITV1 show told the Mirror: “Everyone is thrilled. To have Britney involved is a massive coup. They expect ratings to go through the roof when her performance airs.”

Ummm…ya think? This is HUGE news! If this is true, this could be the REAL come back we all have been anticipating.

Sorry ladies…the Velvet Teddy Bear is officially OFF the market. Let me tell you, Ruben Studdard has had some sweet luck in the romance department, meeting his wife two years ago in the toy aisle at Wal-Mart. How sexy is that?!

On Saturday, Ruben married Surata Zuri McCants in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. He had 20 groomsmen by his side. Think of all the food that had to be prepared for THAT bridal party. WOWSERS!

Congrats to the Season Two Idol Winner and his bride!

Is Hanna Montana Going Country?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

The Hannah Montana movie is going to mix it up a bit by adding a little bit more country pizazz to it. Taylor Swift made a special appearance in the movie playing herself and performing a hot little number that will leave you all screaming for more. Eh. Or not.

According to a source, Swift joins fellow country-fried singers Rascal Flatts and American Idol alum Bucky Covington, who also appear in the flick. Coincidentally, all these artists are signed to Disney’s Lyric Street Records.

I don’t know if I like this whole idea. Hannah Montana might as well add a little bit more twang to her voice now. Perhaps Billy Ray has something to do with all this? ‘Cuz you KNOW he was responsible for those racy photos of his daughter. Sorry but the surfer dude haircut WON’T work on me, Mister. Do we have another Papa Joe on our hands?

Or is Disney trying to switch things up a bit?

I guess we’ll see when this flick comes out!

This Is My Confession.

Dear Jesus,

Please please PLEASE forgive me for all the wrong I’ve done. I’ve been kind of a wench lately, talked a lot of smack.  I’m even guilty of picking a wedgie or two out in public. Chocolate cake has been my breakfast on numerous occasions.  I wore socks with sandals more than once this week.  I’m so, so sorry.

Thank you for listening to me Jesus.

Jesus? HELLO???? Jesus, is that you?

Okay, so maybe it’s not Jesus, but the next best thing…it’s freakin’ Bo Bice showin’ us some chest hair!  Doing!

Two Idols In Love?

Kimberly Caldwell may have been an Idol reject, however, girlfriend has landed herself a spot in a very special Idol’s pants, er, heart…none other than that of this year’s Idol winner David Cook.

Ok, so you KNOW Kimberly has already given David a special little present for winning Idol. Kimberly had been a fan of David Cook’s throughout the season and even declared her love for David by saying “I’m obsessed with David Cook. I want to make out with him… a lot. And probably will.” We know what Kimberly is after! She wants a ride on that American Idol motorcycle David won! That scandalous beotch!!!

And apparently, Cook isn’t being shy about his Ruth’s Chris steak house encounter with Caldwell either.

Today on “Live With Regis and Kelly” Cook did confirm that he recently had a dinner date with former “Idol” contestant Kimberly Caldwell.

Cook, 25, said he met Caldwell through the show. When asked if he had a good time, Cook replied: “I did. We’ll probably hang out again. So we’ll see.”

Yep, they doinked.

Another season is at an end and an Idol is crowned.  Congratulations to America’s Idol, David Cook!  Cook won over Archuletta by 12 million votes.  But, we ALL know that just because you aren’t crowned America’s Idol doesn’t always mean you won’t succeed!

We love David Cook, but we know there are a lot of disappointed Archuletta fans out there!

The Final Two!

The verdict is in: America, you loved the David’s, giving Syesha Mercado the boot this evening!

So, officially, it is David Archuletta vs. David Cook.  Go David Cook!  He pretty much rocks the stage hardcore.  I’m loving me some David Cook.
