Mariah & Nick: The Baby Names Are HERE!

2011-05-04T21:02:00.001-07:00

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...

2011-05-03T21:08:00.000-07:00

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!

BREAKING NEWS: OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD!

2011-05-01T21:57:00.000-07:00

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!

2011-04-30T12:48:00.000-07:00

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

2011-04-29T07:20:00.000-07:00

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:

Your "WTF" Moment Of The Day

2011-04-28T19:34:00.000-07:00

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

Say It Ain't So...

2011-04-27T19:38:00.000-07:00

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!!!

2011-04-20T14:08:00.000-07:00

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!

Betty Blasts Lindsay & Charlie

2011-04-08T07:16:00.000-07:00

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

2011-04-06T10:27:00.000-07:00

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:

Follow-Up: Angelina vs. Snooki?

2011-04-05T13:37:00.000-07:00

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?

2011-04-04T18:56:00.001-07:00

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!!!

2011-04-04T07:16:00.000-07:00

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.

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

2011-04-03T08:25:00.000-07:00

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!!!

2011-04-02T06:37:00.000-07:00

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:

Yesterday, Gaga took to Twitter to announce the "Country Roads Remix" of her latest single, "Born This Way"...check it out for yourself:

I'm not much of a country fan, but I have to admit it's not too shabby.

Gwen Stefani Donates To Japan

2011-03-24T09:24:00.000-07:00

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

2011-03-23T21:30:00.000-07:00

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!

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

2011-03-16T07:10:00.000-07:00

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

2011-03-15T08:17:00.000-07:00

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

2011-03-11T08:17:00.000-08:00

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!"

2011-03-11T06:07:00.000-08:00

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

2011-03-10T07:29:00.000-08:00

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:

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

2011-03-09T06:17:00.000-08:00

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:

Not too shabby...thoughts?

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

2011-03-09T05:58:00.000-08:00

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.

BREAKING (but NOT surprising) NEWS!!!

2011-03-07T20:16:00.000-08:00

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!

Yeah...I'm pretty sure SOMEONE is getting fired over this.

Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Worse...

2011-03-03T16:48:00.000-08:00

Yesterday morning, Ryan Seacrest got a call from Kim Kardashian and debuted her new single entitled, "Jam" during his morning show on 102.7 KIIS-FM in Los Angeles.

And it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect of a Kim Kardashian single: pure, complete, unadulterated crap.

Justin Bieber's "Bird"

2011-03-02T08:40:00.000-08:00

Looks like Justin Bieber has had it with the paparazzi.

Bieber was out on the town, celebrating his 17th birthday with alleged-girlfriend Selena Gomez when the pop-prince had apparently had enough of the photogs and decided to tell them how he felt about them.

Whoops...

The Charlie Sheen Circus Continues...

2011-02-28T08:49:00.000-08:00

Is it wrong that I'm enjoying this?

The "circus" that is Charlie Sheen continued to roll on today, as Sheen made several TV appearances including:

Good Morning America

The Today Show

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

And a there was also a 45 minute long "interview" that was done live on the web with the fine folks at TMZ.

It's also been revealed that Charlie Sheen's long-time publicist has resigned. Stan Rosenfield released the following statement:

"I worked with Charlie Sheen for a long time & I care about him very much, however, at this time, I'm unable to work effectively as his publicist and have respectfully resigned."

Charlie Sheen had a slightly different take on that situation though and was quoted by TMZ as saying, "You can't quit...YOU'RE FIRED!"

Again, I'll keep you posted as the insanity continues...

(Insert "circus music" here)

Yep...it's official: CBS has cancelled production on "Two And A Half Men" for the rest of this season. Why? Because Charlie Sheen has completely and entirely lost his s**t...as was evidenced in his latest interview with radio/internet host Alex Jones:

The Feel-Good Story Of 2011...

2011-02-18T21:16:00.000-08:00

I'd like to you to meet 10 year-old Maria Aragon from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada:

She posted this video of herself singing a cover of Lady Gaga's latest hit, "Born This Way". The video caught the attention of famed celebrity blogger Perez Hilton...who sent the link to his pal Lady Gaga - who just happened to be having a rotten day. She watched it and sent out the following tweet to her over-15-million Twitter followers:

"Can't stop crying watching this. This is why I make music. She is the future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG0wi1m-89o"

The result? The video has had almost 7 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE and young Maria actually had the chance to chat with Gaga earlier today courtesy of Winnipeg radio station Hot 103:

She's also been invited to fly to Toronto for Lady Gaga's show and will do a duet on-stage with Gaga.

The only thing I can say about this, is "Wow"...

JUSTIN BIEBER DIES...On CSI

2011-02-18T08:54:00.000-08:00

Justin Bieber...In Rolling Stone Magazine

2011-02-16T21:42:00.000-08:00

Justin Bieber is taking some "flack" over the answers he gave during a recent interview for Rolling Stone Magazine...take a look and judge for yourself:

On sex before marriage: "I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you're in love with them. I think you should just wait for the person you're in love with."

On health care: "Canada's the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don't need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard's baby was premature and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby's premature, he stays in the hospital for as long as he needs to and then you go home."

On abortion: "I really don't believe in abortion. It's like killing a baby?"

On abortion in cases of rape: "Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."

On politics: "I'm not sure about the parties. But whatever they have in Korea, that's bad."

Now, before you jump to judge him to be - as some have said - an idiot, I think there's something you need to be reminded of:

HE'S 16 YEARS OLD

If anyone should be judged here, it should be the Rolling Stone interviewer who thought it would be a good idea to ask a 16 year-old about politics, abortion & sex.

X-Tina Is A Free Woman!

2011-02-11T08:58:00.000-08:00

According to a story posted on TMZ, Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman have reached a divorce settlement that was filed with the court.

Sources say they will share joint custody of their son, Max, though the legal papers -- filed with the court Wednesday -- don't specify the terms of custody.

As for dividing up the goodies, the couple had a prenup, but sources connected with Jordan say he got a little something extra as part of the settlement.

And what did Christina get? Jordan, who is repped by attorney Bruce Clemens, has FINALLY moved out of the house. Christina, her new boyfriend Matt Rutler, and Jordan have all been living under the same roof (awkward?). Jordan officially left a few days ago.

Laura Wasser, who reps Christina, filed the final divorce papers Wednesday, the divorce won't be final until 6 months from the date it was originally filed ... so they will officially be single on April 15.

Lindsay's Day In Court

2011-02-09T16:37:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan was in court today to plead not guilty to a felony theft charge after being accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store.

People reports the judge told her, "You're in a different situation now with a felony," with a warning that he'd send her straight to jail without bail if she broke the law while awaiting trial. He added, "You're no different than anyone else. So please, don't push your luck."

LiLo was formally booked at the courthouse, posted $40,000 bail, and will be back for the next hearing on February 23. She faces up to 3 years in a California state prison if convicted but apparently she's trying to work out a plea deal.

TMZ points out Lindsay has been accused of stealing shit in the past including another $400,000 necklace, a $35,000 watch, and a $12,000 mink coat.

Jeff @ NOW2K

This Could Be It For Lindsay

2011-02-08T08:30:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow's going to be a big day for Lindsay Lohan...she's being charged with her first felony!

She's being charged with Felony Grand Theft over an incident involving a $2500 necklace that Lindsday allegedly stole from a Los Angeles-area jewellery store.

If convicted, Lindsay will face time in a California State Prison; this is because she'll have violated her probation and will likely NOT be released early and will have to serve her full term.

People magazine is reporting that Lindsay is maintaining her innocence.

I'll keep you posted on this as more develops.

Pauly D + Keenan Cahill = Another Sign Of The Apocolypse?

2011-02-07T08:23:00.000-08:00

I was a fan of this little dude when he first hit the internet and became a viral video celebrity...but I'll be honest; I'm kind of "over" Keenan Cahill. Especially now that celebs are starting to INVITE him to "do" their songs.

Now, you can add DJ Pauly D from "Jersey Shore" to the list...he sent a tweet to Keenan asking him to perform Pauly D's song, "Beat Dat Beat":

Sometimes Lyp-Syncing Is A Good Thing...

2011-02-07T08:13:00.000-08:00

I'm as big of a fan of Black Eyed Peas as the next person. I think their music is great on the radio, in a club or on my iPod. But when are promoters going to stop asking them to perform at events live?

I've seen them performing on various events on TV including Canada's Grey Cup, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and now the NFL SuperBowl...and THIS was the result:

You can't argue with the fact that they're amazing PERFORMERS and they put on a great SHOW...but let's face it; sometimes LIP-SYNCING is a GOOD thing.

Of course, it CAN backfire on you:

Charlie Sheen: "What Problem?"

2011-01-31T21:01:00.000-08:00

Reports last week had Charlie Sheen checking into a rehab facility with plans to stay there for at least 3 months. Well, it turns out Sheen never even left his house!!!

According to RadarOnline:

"“Charlie was supposed to go to a rehab facility but he absolutely refused to go,” one pal, who has intimate knowledge of the situation, told RadarOnline.com.
“He is at home now and those close to him are trying to get him to enter a facility, but he doesn’t think he has a problem.”

Seriously? Dude...even LINDSAY LOHAN thinks you have a problem. If THAT doesn't tell you something, what will?

Again, I'll keep you posted as this goes on...

You Know You've Got A Problem When...

2011-01-29T20:02:00.000-08:00

This is a classic case of "the pot calling the kettle a junkie".

Courtesy of our friends over at TMZ:

"Lindsay Lohan believes Charlie Sheen is in the midst of a 'life or death situation' and tells friends she's thrilled that Sheen has checked himself into rehab.

Sources close to Lohan tell us...Lindsay is 'worried' about Sheen because his most recent bender shows 'obvious signs of addiction'..."

You mean locking yourself in a mansion with porn stars and a briefcase full of cocaine ISN'T normal behavior? And seriously...how BIG of a problem do you have when LINDSAY LOHAN is concerned about you? Ha ha...

More details as they come...

Jeff @ NOW2K

Charlie Sheen Checks Into Rehab

2011-01-28T18:40:00.000-08:00

No big shocker here...

After Charlie Sheen was rushed to hospital with what was described as "severe abdominal pain" - which occurred after Sheen spent several days partying with porn stars, booze and cocaine - he has apparently checked into rehab. But NOT before sending off a text message to the folks over at RadarOnline:

"“I’m fine,” Sheen told RadarOnline’s Senior Executive Editor Dylan Howard via text message on Friday afternoon around the same time it was announced he was checking into rehab.
“People don’t seem to get it…. Guy can’t have a great time and do his job also?”
The Two and a Half Men star finished the text with a characterization of his detractors: “Bunch of turds.”

Needless to say, Warner Bros. has put production of "Two And A Half Men" on hiatus for the forseeable future.

I'll post details as they become available.

Ricky Gervais Comes "Home"

2011-01-27T21:42:00.000-08:00

It's what fans of "The Office" have been waiting 10 years for: Michael Scott meets David Brent:

David Brent is, of course, the character that Ricky Gervais played on the original UK version of "The Office", of which Gervais is the creator. He's also one of the excutive producers on the US version of the show (which has now been adapted for more than a dozen countries around the world).

Steve Carrell made headlines in 2010 when he announced he was leaving "The Office" to pursue his movie career. Gervais made headlines THIS year after his legendary hosting of the 2011 Golden Globe awards.

I'm Not Crying...It's Just Dusty In Here (Sniff, Sniff)

2011-01-27T21:32:00.000-08:00

I can only think of two times in my entire life where I've actually been brought to tears by something I've watched on TV...and now I can add a third time; Did you happen to see last night's episode of American Idol? Wow...

Sorry...I need to go get a Kleenex.

It Was Bound To Catch Up To Him Sooner Or Later

2011-01-27T13:24:00.000-08:00

Proving he's NOT the orgy-booze-drug machine we all thought he was, Charlie Sheen put himself into the hospital earlier today.

Apparently, Sheen hasn't slept since Monday and has been partying with hookers and has been on a cocaine & booze binge since last weekend. A 911 call was made at around 6:30am after Sheen complained of extreme abdominal pain.

It turns out that Sheen is suffering from a hernia, which apparently has plagued him for quite some time, according to his agent.

Sheen should be back on his feet and banging hookers in no time at all.

Jersey Shore...Off To Italy?

2011-01-25T21:14:00.000-08:00

I'm no expert, but THIS has "International Incident" written all over it.

Seems the cast of Jersey Shore is headed to their homeland; MTV has revealed that the guidos and guidettes who're famous for fist-pumping, heavy drinking, hard partying and GTL-ing are headed overseas to Italy to shoot a few episodes of the show.

MTV programming Vice President Chris Linn said that sending the cast to Europe "is a fresh spin on a show that continues to reach new heights for us."

Fans are thrilled but several Italian/American groups are concerned that the guys and gals of the Jersey Shore might not put their best foot forward. These same groups are already upset about the show and have launched a boycott claiming the show exploits Italian/American heritage.

Season 4 of MTV's Jersey Shore is set to air later in 2011.

Justin Bieber Makes Too Much Damned Money

2011-01-21T20:15:00.000-08:00

How much would YOU pay for THIS haircut?

Personally, I wouldn't pay for it...but I can tell you how much Justin Bieber pays:

$750.00

According to an article in "Life & Style" magazine, Bieber's famous haircut was created by Vanessa Price back in 2009. She says that when he hits the road, she makes housecalls and cuts Bieber's hair twice a month...which means he's spending upwards of $1500 per month on haircuts.

All of the sudden the $18 I spend at the barber shop once a month doesn't seem so bad.

Your Weekly Dose Of WTF?!?

2011-01-18T20:08:00.000-08:00

Because 14 kids don't just feed and shelter themselves, it's finally come to this: The Octomom is doing porn.

Yes...you read that correctly; Nadia Suleman (better known as "The Octomom") has made her first foray into the world of Adult Entertainment with the folks at Vivid Entertainment (who are the same people who released Pam Anderson & Tommy Lee's sex video and Kim Kardashian's sex video - among others).

The video - which was shot recently at her Los Angeles home - features Suleman dressed in a black corset & stockings whipping a man dressed up as a baby.

I wish I was making this up.

The 2011 Golden Globes

2011-01-17T08:41:00.000-08:00

So, last night, the 2011 Golden Globes were held in Beverly Hills, California and there weren't a whole LOT of surprises. The big winners included "Glee" which took home 3 awards (including the award for "Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy) and "The Social Network" which received 4 awards (including "Best Picture, Drama").

It seemed, however, that the REAL talk of the Golden Globes was the host/MC...Ricky Gervais.

Over the course of the evening he managed to trash Angelina Jolie, Charlie Sheen, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Robert Downey Jr., Hugh Hefner and God.

Some have said he was "over the top" and "completely insulting". Others have said he was "bloody brilliant" and "genius". Personally, I'm a member of the latter...I think the man is an amazing talent who was just saying what everyone was thinking. But then again, it's hard to be impartial when you're a fan, like I am.

You be the judge:

All of this being said, it's rumored that Gervais will NOT be coming back for a THIRD run as the host of the Golden Globes in 2012 as (apparently) the final straw was when he made a joke about Phillip Berk, the current head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (something to do with helping him off the toilet and popping his teeth back in).

According to a story over at Popeater.com, a source with the HFPA has said that Gervais "definitely will not be invited back next year" and that his schtik this year could have dire consequences including "any movie he makes can forget about being nominated".

Oh well...at least he made good on his promise.
