Mariah & Nick: The Baby Names Are HERE!

If you missed it, Mariah Carey and hubby Nick Cannon had twins over the weekend and today, they released (via Twitter, of course) the names. And honestly, they're not as "weird" as I expected them to be:

- Their little girl's name is Monroe
- And their little boy's name is Moroccan Scott

It could be worse. Much, much worse...right Apple Paltrow Martin?

Hot Song...Semi-Lame Video...

Just a couple of weeks ago, I added a track into rotation on NOW2K by a Canadian artist named Kristina Maria called "Let's Play" and I've gotta tell you, it's a HOT track...especially if you listen to the lyrics.

I managed to track down the video this week and it's got the potential to be as equally hot...check it out:



Did you watch it all the way through? Yes? Okay...then you'll agree with me that those 2 dudes are the DUMBEST guys in the world...ha ha!

Jeff @ NOW2K

BREAKING NEWS: OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD!

Wow.

News just broke that Osama Bin Laden was KILLED in Pakistan earlier today.

United States President Barack Obama just read this statement:



Amazing. There are times I still find it hard to believe that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were almost TEN YEARS ago...I remember it like it was yesterday.

Some will say "Justice has been served". Honestly, I'm concerned that this might just be the beginning of something new & even scarier.

Jeff @ NOW2K

Congrats Mariah & Nick!

After what felt like the LONGEST pregnancy in the history of celebrity pregnancies, Mariah Carey gave birth to twins this morning!

Mariah & hubby Nick Cannon welcomed the little bundles of joy into the world at 9:07am (PDT) this morning. The girl arrived first, weighing in at 5lbs 3oz and the boy followed at 5lbs 6oz.

Mom & babies are said to be doing very well!

Congrats Mariah & Nick!

Royal Wedding Fever

As BILLIONS around the world watched earlier today, Catherine Middleton married Prince William in what was being touted as the "Wedding of the Century".

In a ceremony that was called everything from "beautiful" to "amazing" to "unbelievable", Kate & Wills became The Duke & Dutchess of Cambridge in front of family, friends and BILLIONS of people watching at home and on-line.

In spite of it being a full-on Disney-esque wedding, there were a few small "hitches" including cousin Beatrice's "WTF" hat:


(Am I the only one who thinks she looks like a character from Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland"?)

And Wills & Kate caught in a rather "awkward" pose by cameras:


Otherwise, it was everything a little girl could dream of...and even drew a cartwheel from an enthusiastic verger at Westminster Abbey:



Jeff @ NOW2K

Your "WTF" Moment Of The Day

Adam Lambert needs to fire his stylist. Like, now.

Jeff @ NOW2K

Say It Ain't So...

This CAN'T be a good idea.

It would seem that the cast of Jersey Shore is starting to reproduce. Yikes.

News has broken that Jersey Shore alumnus, Angelina is expecting her first child with fiancee David Kovacs. The couple have been together since February and Angelina has confirmed the pregnancy with the folks at MTV.

Weird Al Goes GAGA!!!

They say you haven't truly made it in the music biz unless "Weird Al" Yankovic parodies one of your songs; I guess Lady Gaga has officially "made it" now...ha ha!

"Weird Al" posted his parody of Gaga's "Born This Way" (called "Perform This Way") on his YouTube page yesterday & originally people were told that Gaga had shot-down his request to release the track as his first single OR put it on his new album (entitled "Al-Pocolypse"). That story hit the Twitter-verse and people were PISSED at Lady Gaga over her alleged snub of the weird one.

Later in the day, however, it was revealed that Gaga hadn't actually heard the parody and it was one of her managers (who I'm sure is now jobless) that had denied Al's request. Gaga listened to the track (at the urging of her "little monsters") and gave it her blessing!

Take a listen for yourself!



Jeff @ NOW2K

Betty Blasts Lindsay & Charlie

God...I love Betty White...and here's why:

In an interview with the UK's Daily Mail, the former "Golden Girls"/current "Hot In Cleveland" star took a shot at some of today's stars for letting their careers spiral into the proverbial toilets. She was speaking more specifically of Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan:

"I cannot stand people who get wonderful starts in show business and who abuse it. Lindsay Lohan & Charlie Sheen for example. They party too much, don't learn their lines, are unprofessional and they grumble about everything. I think they're terribly ungrateful."

Again...I LOVE BETTY WHITE!!!

Hot New Vid From Britney

The BRAND NEW video for Britney Spears' latest single "Till The World Ends" hit the web today, and I've got to say I'm pretty damned impressed.

Check it out:



Jeff @ NOW2K

Follow-Up: Angelina vs. Snooki?

Looks like we could have a good old fashioned CAT FIGHT on our hands here.

After Snooki's AWESOME performance at WWE WrestleMania on Sunday night, Jersey Shore co-star Angelia has spoken out and accused Snooki of copying her by jumping into the "squared circle".

For those who don't know, Angelina has been trying to make a name for herself in the wrasslin' biz with the WWE's rival company TNA Wrestling.

Angelina even went as far as to call Snooki "a fat troll who should never wear those shorts...or be in a wrestling ring."

As an interesting little side-note: Angelina's last appearance on "TNA Impact Wrestling" also happened to be the LOWEST RATED SEGMENT of that episode.

We all know there's only one way to settle this...right?

Jeff @ NOW2K

Snooki...A Wrestling Star?

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm a bit of a fan of WWE Wrestling. And when I heard that Snooki from Jersey Shore had been signed for a match at yesterday's Wrestlemania 27 (alongside Trish Stratus & John Morrison - who are ACTUAL WWE Superstars) I was skeptical and expected it to be total crap.

Again, I hate admitting I was wrong...but I was wrong. Snooki actually managed to hold her own in the ring, even scoring the "victory" by pinning opponent Michelle McCool after an impressive series of somersaults & flips. Check it out:



Snooki's athletic ability really shouldn't come as a surprise though: She did participate in gymnastics until she was 13 and was the captain of her high school cheerleading squad.

Who knew?

Jeff @ NOW2K

Ke$ha's Gettin' $leazy For The $ummer!!!

Good news for fans of Ke$ha: If you missed out on the first leg of her "Get $leazy Tour" which kicked off in the fall, you've just got a second shot at checking Ke$ha out LIVE IN CONCERT!

This morning, it was announced that Ke$ha would be adding a SUMMER LEG to the tour - which has been called "good sleazy fun" and "basically the best thing EVER".

After selling out the first leg of this tour in minutes, Ke$ha hits the road again this summer, with the new dates kicking off in Harrington, DE on July 26th and wrapping on September 20th in Phoenix, AZ. LMFAO and Spank Rock will join Ke$ha on the road in most North American markets. Tickets will be available for sale starting on April 8th at livenation.com. Members of The Family, Ke$ha's new official fan club, will have access to presale tickets and upgraded memberships with Meet & Greets beginning Tuesday, April 5 at 3pm local time. For more information about becoming a member of The Family visit www.keshasfamily.com.

Winning? Ummm...Not So Much...

In what can only be described as one of the LEAST shocking events of the weekend, Charlie Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not An Option" show completely BOMBED during it's first show last night in Detroit. Want a run-down of how the show went? Here goes:

- It started with the crowd chanting Charlie's name & all his catch-phrases in anticipation

- The opening comedian got booed off the stage

- The show started an hour late

- The "goddesses" made out with each other on stage, possibly as a distraction from how LOUSY the rest of the show was

- When he was heckled 30 minutes into the show, Charlie actually shouted to the crowd, "I've already got your money dude!"

-People left early

Still upset you didn't get tickets to any of the shows on the tour? Don't be.

Jeff @ NOW2K

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!

It doesn't look like Rebecca Black's song "Friday" isn't going to go away anytime soon...especially when there are brilliant performances of it like this one - featuring Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, The R.O.O.T.'s & Taylor Hicks! Enjoy:

Gwen Stefani Donates To Japan

You can add Gwen Stefani to the long list of celebrities who've stepped up to help the people of Japan, as they attempt to recover from the earthquake & tsnuami that devastated their country 2 weeks ago.

Stefani donated $1 Million to earthquake/tsnuami relief...and it makes perfect sense as Gwen is absolutely in love with Japan. She cites the Harajuku district as a huge influence on her recent work (including her album "Love. Angel. Music. Baby". As Gwen explains on her website:

"I've been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese people and their culture. The disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking and I want to do anything I can to help. I would never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans over all these years."

Stefani is also planning a charity auction in Los Angeles and will be releasing a limited edition Harajuku-Lovers T-shirt with 100% of the proceeds of sales of the shirt going to Japanese relief.

Lindsay Is Going To Trial

That is the smile of a confident woman.

As you might recall, Lindsay Lohan has been charged with Grand Larceny after she allegedly walked out of a Los Angeles jewelry store WITHOUT paying for a necklace.

It's a risky move, but Lindsay must be sure she's going to get off scott-free...otherwise, why would she have turned down a plea bargain? The deal that was being offered would have resulted in her spending approximately 19 days in prison (the sentence likely would have been 3 months, but with overcrowding, it would have been reduced).

Now, Lohan is risking being found guilty and being sentenced to ONE YEAR in prison - plus if she's found guilty, she'll also be in violation of her current probation which will result in EXTRA jail time on top of THAT sentence.

I'll keep you posted with updates as they come!

Jeff @ NOW2K

New Hit Music On NOW2K!!!

Kind of a good news/bad news thing when it comes to new tunes this week...there's only ONE new tune being added to the NOW2K playlist - but it's an AWESOME one!

Regluator For Life...Nate Dogg R.I.P.

Sad news from the rap world...reports have come out that Nathaniel D. Hale - aka Nate Dogg - died of a stroke Tuesday night at the age of 41 years old. From People.com:

Hale was part of an extended family of rappers known as the Dogg Pound Gangsta Crips (DPGC), a group that also includes Snoop Dogg and Daz Dillinger – both of whom responded to news of Hale’s death with tribute messages on Twitter.

“We lost a true legend n hip hop n rnb,” Snoop Dogg wrote. “I love u buddy luv. U will always b wit me 4ever n a day.”

Meet Rebecca Black

Meet Rebecca Black.

She's the latest viral video sensation...for all the wrong reasons.

Rebecca's video "Friday" has blown up all over YouTube (to the tune of 9 million views as of today) and is being hailed as - and I quote: "The worst song in the history of music."

Even worse than Kim Kardashian's song "Jam"?

"Yes"

Here's the video...check it out for yourself - but be warned: the song WILL be stuck in your head forever:



Now, you might be asking yourself, "who are the evil SOB's who unleashed this piece of pure evil on the world?" Well, it's courtesy of Ark Music Factory, who's sole purpose in life is - apparently - to make rockstar dreams come true for kids whose parents have way too much money.

Basically, you can pay Ark Music Factory a ton of cash and they'll fly your little princess out to their studios, let them record a song, auto-tune the living s**t out of it, produce a video and then release it to the world. And then maybe - just maybe - your little snowflake's song will get picked up by a major record label and she'll be a star.

Or the producers at Tosh.0 will get their hands on it, mock her relentlessly and she'll become the laughingstock of millions of people around the world.

I guess when you look at it, it's STILL fame...right?

"Friday, Friday, Friday"

Devastation & Destruction In Japan

And all of the sudden, Charlie Sheen's antics & what Justin Bieber is doing with his hair doesn't seem all that important anymore.

As you are probably aware by now, a massive earthquake (measured at 8.9 on the Richter scale - the biggest earthquake to hit Japan in over 100 years) and subsequent tsunami caused mass destruction & devastation in Japan on Friday. The death toll across the country is thought to be upwards of 10,000 with thousands more seriously injured and missing.

If you're looking for a way to help, the best way is financially with a donation to your local chapter of the Red Cross including:

- The Canadian Red Cross
- The American Red Cross
- And The British Red Cross

If none of these three options apply to you, then you can go to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) website to reach the Red Cross in your area.

Also, if you are trying to contact/locate family or friends in areas of Japan affected by the earthquake/tsunami, there is info on the ICRC website as to how to go about doing that.

Thoughts & prayers are with victims and their families...and I hope you'll take time to donate to the cause.

"Bieber Fever" Becomes "Bieber-MANIA!"

Justin Bieber was LITERALLY trapped inside his hotel room yesterday in Liverpool, England as hundreds of fans showed up to try to catch a glimpse of the teen pop sensation.

Bieber was actually warned by Liverpool Police that he could be charged with "inciting a riot" if he were to step outside to greet the fans. He managed to negotiate with police to make an appearance on the balcony so that fans could catch a glimpse of their idol.

Bieber was in Liverpool to perform at the Liverpool Echo Arena this weekend and had intended on spending his day off taking an historic Beatles tour through the city. Those plans were nixed by police though, who feared that if Bieber were to hit the city, it could cause mass pandemonium.

The scenes in Liverpool were reminiscent of the same pandemonium caused by The Beatles in their hometown back in the late 1960's:

Miley Has Had It With The Paparazzi

Seems that Miley Cyrus is the latest celeb to be fed up with the paparazzi.

Yesterday after hitting the gym, Miley walked out to her car to discover a photographer - who she decided to lunge at and make an attempt to separate him from his camera (as pictured above).

On Tuesday a photographer bumped into her mother, Tish, as they were on their way out of a California Chicken Grill restaurant. That encounter was caught on video:

Britney Is Out...

Britney Spears has a new CD coming out entitled "Femme Fatale" which includes the hits "Hold It Against Me" and the latest single "Till The World Ends".

In preparation of the release, Britney did a photo shoot with Out Magazine and some are describing it as her "most intimate photo shoot yet" - mostly due to the revealing of a couple of tattoos that not too many people have seen before: a star and a crucifix on each side of her "most inimate area".

In the magazine, Britney calls her new CD her "most upbeat & mature album yet". She also says that she's proud of all the music she's released.

When she was asked if she regrets recording any of her tracks, she responded, "No...all my songs are f***ing amazing".

Avril Takes On Ke$ha

No...not in a fight...but musically!

Avril was in London, England promoting her new album "Goodbye Lullabye" (featuring the hit, "What The Hell") and she performed an acoustic version of Ke$ha's Tik Tok:

Lady Gaga Wasn't Exactly "Born This Way"...

In spite of what she says, Lady Gaga wasn't exactly "Born This Way". It took - in her own words - "an artistic journey to f**k myself up".

Gaga opened up to author Neil Strauss for his new book entitled "Everyone Loves You When You're Dead", a collection of snippets of celebrity interviews and told him about the tough times she went through on the road to superstardom.

"I didn't have a bad childhood. All of the things I went through were on my own quest for an artistic journey to f**k myself up like Warhol and Bowie and Mick, and just go for it," she told Strauss.

"Sometimes it freaks me out -- or I should say it petrifies me -- when I think about laying in my apartment (in New York) with bed bugs and roaches on the floor and mirrors with cocaine everywhere, and no will or interest in doing anything but making music and getting high," she admitted.

If you want to read more about Gaga's surreal journey to the top & checkered past, check out the article over at The Huffington Post.

BREAKING (but NOT surprising) NEWS!!!

I keep expecting Porky Pig to bust out of that Warner Bros. logo and yell, "Th-th-th-that's all folks!!!"

It's official now: Charlie Sheen has been FIRED from "Two and a Half Men"!

Earlier this afternoon, Warner Bros. sent a letter to Sheen's lawyer outlining the following:

"There is ample evidence supporting Warner Bros. reasonable good faith opinion that Mr. Sheen has committed felony offenses involving moral turpitude (including but not limited to furnishing of cocaine to others as part of the self-destructive lifestyle he has described publicly) that have 'interfere[d] with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required' under the agreement."

If you like, you can check out the entire 21 page document sent to Sheen's lawyer by the folks at Warner Bros. (thanks to the folks at TMZ)

You can't keep a good man down though...Charlie immediately fired off the following tweet from his Twitter account:

“This is very good news. They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at whatshiscock again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension.”

Wow.

One other thing...if you've ever wanted to know what it's like to intern for Charlie Sheen, here's your chance!

From the website:

Do you have #TigerBlood? Are you all about #Winning? Can you #PlanBetter than anyone else? If so, we want you on #TeamSheen as our social media #TigerBloodIntern!

This unique internship opportunity will allow a hard-working, self-motivated, creative, resourceful and social media savvy individual to work closely with Charlie Sheen in leveraging his social network. The internship will focus on executing a social media strategy that will build on the success Charlie Sheen has attained in setting the Guinness World Record for the fastest time to reach one million followers on Twitter. The #TigerBloodIntern is expected to be proactive, monitor the day-to-day activities on the major social media platforms, prepare for exciting online projects and increase Charlie’s base of followers.

You will learn how to promote and develop the social media network of Hollywood’s most trending celebrity.

It could end up being the most interesting 8 weeks of your life...ha ha!

Now THIS Is Embarassing...

...But I'm not exactly sure who for.

Apparently Kanye West & Liv Tyler showed up at a designer event in Paris wearing the exact same shirt.
Yeah...I'm pretty sure SOMEONE is getting fired over this.
