Sometimes, it’s just a chore to call out celebrities on their tackiness.
I have had nothing to say about Britney in a long time, pro or con, and that is a good thing.
There comes a point in time where we have to stop excusing certain celebrity behavior as just a “phase”.
When does someones “phase” become a lifestyle. An unbecoming lifestyle. At 27, it’s no longer a phase.
To err is human.
So, we’ve got Britney out on a LA romp for some Michael Jackson tunes. That’s cool.
But, you must wonder why she goes out in public looking like she just came from Wal-Mart.
Hole in the dress?
The hair a mess and no bra? This may seem like nit-picking, but doesn’t she look worn out?
This woman is dressed like a public mess.
If it’s Michael Jackson she is thinking of, well, he had thoughts on his mind about Britney.
I think it’s a sound call in today’s world…
On then-meteoric Britney Spears:
“I don’t believe that she’ll [Britney Spears] have any great longevity in the public eye because she doesn’t understand the power of mystery.” Via
No, she doesn’t.
We can only hope that she rises from this “phase”, ahem.
F0r even more of her tackiness, take a listen to her new single “3″. People say that it’s about a threesome. Shocking? Not. Yawn? Yes.
It’s catchy. It was meant to be.
The song is produced by Max Martin, the same man responsible for her career-launching hit Baby One More Time, as well as music by acts such as Pink, Kelly Clarkson and Backstreet Boys..
Just keep repeating what Michael Jackson said. 1-2-3…
Britney Spears is about to release a new singles collection celebrating her decade of making music. And even though the album will feature “Baby One More Time,” the pop classic “Toxic,” and “Womanizer” there will be new tracks including the single that debuted today on the radio.
3 – Britney Spears
I’ve found what seems to be the non-radio rip. A HQ version. Enjoy it!
I don’t know what I think about the track. Loving, loving, loving the production by Max Martin, but the number and theme seems extremely arbitrary – even for Britney Spears.
I mean, why the number 3? It just doesn’t make sense…
No matter. It is a giant dance number that holds an “old Britney”-style bridge that could have been lifted from her early albums which then segues back into the hyper-produced dance electronica. It is certainly representative of her overall career, it doesn’t make too much sense, it’s incredibly produced, there’s no real singing in it and it has a fucking unstoppably catchy countdown chorus.
I can’t say that this song will catapult her to number 1 again, but it’ll certainly be played on dance floors and radios for at least a few months. Get ready.
Embrace it. It’s fun.
Isn’t that what the Britney brand has always been about? Yeah. It’s fun!
Breast cancer survivor and Australian pop princess royalty, Kylie Minogue will kick start her US Tour wearing show costumes designed by Jean Paul Gaultier in San Francisco’s Fox Oakland Theater, Thursday. To buy tickets to see the UK’s favorite Aussie pop star, go here.
Kylie’s song Spinning Around was a US #1 hit in 2000. Penned by Paula Abdul, Spinning Around deals with the pain of divorce. It’s a song that music critics say is ”pop perfection” the way its structured. Minogue was Australia’s Britney Spears, long before Britney ever existed.
Following in the footsteps of Australian blonde Olivia Newton John’s breakthrough roll into America in the Musical Grease, Kylie proved that Australian pop cultural princesses can hold their own. Her career spans over 25 years in show biz. Go see Kylie if you can make it out America. At 40, Kylie still looks hotter than Lady Gaga in her gold disco hot pants. She is fab! Minogue is at The Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, October 4th.
Get ready to rise and shine tomorrow, B fans! Britney’s new single “3″ will premiere on NYC’s Z100 radio station tomorrow morning. If you miss it, you can listen to a clip of the smokin’ hot track by calling The B Line at (310) 341-4438. “3” will be available for iTunes download on Oct. 6. Also be on the lookout for a “3” music video, starring the one and only Ms. Spears. Oh, and yes, that is the official “3″ artwork. I dunno know about you, but I’M SO EXCITED!!! xx♥
I must say I am very proud of Britney Spears for taking control of her life, getting back on track, getting back to her music and moving on.
Back in 2007, her ex husband Kevin Federlien was granted primary custody of her children, but now things have changed. Britney, as recently ordered, will now share 50/50 custody of her two sons with Kevin. As part of this new deal, Spears will also have to pay Federline $20,000 a month in child support, and an additional $25,000 a month when the boys are out of California….Spears has recently taken the boys with her on her Circus tour.
This only tells me that Spears is making lots of money and Federline is not if she has to pay that sum of money even with a 50/50 timeshare. For Spears, although she has to pay her ex a big chunk of change, it seems that it’s more important for her to have her children, even if that means paying the big bucks!
It also seems as though Kevin is now back to work as well, as he will be appearing on the upcoming season of Celebrity Fit Club, along with his ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson.
The tragic loss of class on airlines, especially as it pertains to stewardesses, is a setback that causes me hurt on a daily basis. If the goddesses of the sky would once more refuse to recognize the feminist movement and cease to wear loafers and baggy pants, I am positive that I would not currently be a student in sticky Savannah but rather in mid air on my way to Vegas, serving drinks to illustrious men in skinny ties. Hopefully the lovely ladies of the CWs new reality show Fly Girls will revive the long lost class of the 60s. Air hostesses, I miss your snug pencil skirts, pill box hats, and your easy virtue.

Father’s right’s hero/leach/golddigger Kevin Federline will now share custody of the boys with Britney. Of course, this all comes at a handsome price for K-Fed, since he is incapable of taking care of himself.
Britney Custody Order Extended
Posted Sep 25th 2009 8:20AM by TMZ Staff
Britney Spears will share 50/50 custody with Kevin Federline at least through the end of the year — TMZ has learned.
An L.A. County Superior Court judge extended the order that was initially put in place for Britney’s concert tour. Under the terms, Britney gets to travel with Sean Preston and Jayden James and must provide K-Fed with a place to stay if he wants to follow them on tour.
Sources tell us the sealed order is very detailed, but Britney gets minimum 50/50 custody and at times even more.
As for Kevin, in addition to the $20,000 a month Britney pays him in child support, he gets between $20,000 and $25,000 a month when the kids are outside of California.
At the end of the year the judge will reevaluate custody. We’re told it’s looking like a 50/50 split is the way of the future.
Pentru a sarbatori cei 10 ani de la debutul sau pe scena muzicala, Britney Spears va lansa, pe 24 noiembrie, “The Singles Collection“, un disc care aduna laolalta single-urile sale, plus o piesa nou-nouta, intitulata “3“, pe care fanii o vor putea auzi la radio incepand cu 29 septembrie.
“The Singles Collection” va aparea in doua variante: un CD standard, care va include 17 dintre hit-urile cu care Brit a cucerit topurile in ultimii 10 ani, plus noul track, si un “Ultimate Fan Box”, care include toate cele 29 de single-uri ale cantaretei si bineinteles, piesa “3“.
Mai mult, pe ambele variante fanii vor gasi un b-side sau un remix, plus un DVD care va contine toate videoclipurile pe care Britney le-a filmat de-a lungul anilor, in ordine cronologica. Editia “ultimate” aduce, pe langa toate acestea, un booklet special.
In cei 10 ani de cariera, Britney Spears a avut 5 albume care au debutat pe primul loc in Billboard Top 100 si a avut 23 de piese in “Billboard Pop Singles Chart 40″. Este una dintre cele mai de succes artiste ale ultimei decade, vanzand, in total, peste 63 de milioane de discuri.
There is no slowing this woman down. Britney will be releasing her greatest hits collection to mark her 10 year anniversary in the music industry. 10 years already?!
The album will be released late November and is just in time for the festive season. It will contain all her singles as well as her new single, 3. A dvd with all her music videos and never-before-seen photo’s taken over the years will be included in the deluxe edition.
Britney is still on her Circus tour which may only end February next year and her 50/50 custody of her children has been extended till the end of her tour. We are definitely happy that Britney has career and family back on track.
Contrary to popular belief, crushing someone’s foot with your overpriced SUV isn’t easily forgiven. Especially when you have the resources to pay through the nose. The Paparazzi’s recent injury will now cost Britney Spears a hefty $221,533.59 so says TMZ. Lucky her though, I’d have shot for more. I have no problem pretending to lose motor function for a six figure settlement.

In the celebration of Britney Spears’ 10th year anniversary in the music industry, the Princess of Pop and Jive Records will be releasing a new Britney Spears Greatest Hits compilation later this year.
The 17-track Singles Collection will come in two editions – a standard version and the massive Ultimate Fan Box Set, which include each of the star’s 29 singles in its own slip sleeve case plus a DVD of her music videos.
So Children of Bodom released a compilation of covers. Skeletons in the Closet it’s called. I can’t say I heard it, I didn’t, I’m not a big fan of covers and I’m not a big CoB fan either.
But the release of this album brings back the memory of their infamous cover of Britney Spears’ hit “Oops I did it again”. According to the band the reaction of part of the fans to the weird choice for a cover was negative, “some people were so serious about it, they were just so pissed off” said the vocalist Alexi Laiho in a recent interview, “and I thought it was really funny”.
Some people who take (or at least used to take) the band really seriously were in fact deeply offended by the cover, I remember reading some complains about it at the time. I can understand the feeling, if you’re a fan of the band and they play a dark sort of metal – extreme metal – and sing about dark subjects, you have to take it kind of seriously to get in the dark mood of the music and enjoy it. So when the band comes with an “oh so funny” joke song the atmosphere is ruined, it makes it hard to listen to the band’s music and get into the mood again.
On the other hand I have to agree it’s funny when people take it as an offense against metal itself, as if metal wasn’t entertainment but an institution with absolute rules that have to be respected, as if it was a sin against the gods of metal to joke about it, as if the real world was the world according Manowar.
Well, I don’t take metal really seriously, but I take music seriously, I like to listen to good music. I think the original song by Britney Spears is a decent pop song, it has a catchy chorus, I can live with it. The version presented by CoB however sucks big time. It doesn’t sound like a metal song at all, it just incorporates metal music elements like guitars and harsh vocals to the exactly same structure and tempo of the original version with really sad results. It sounds bad for metal fans, it sounds bad for Britney Spears fans, it sounds bad in its very essence. It’s bad music.
What’s the point in recording and releasing such a crappy song I ask? Just for the sake of the joke? it could be funny if it was an anonymous version of the song on youtube, but to have it on a cd, does it make any sense? does anyone really enjoy listening to it again and again? does it have any inherent value that lasts beyond the silly joke? At least for me it does not and I think it’s kind of disrespectful to the fans of the band to deliberately throw out a crappy cover song like this one.
In the picture above is the champion of ass, Kim Kardashian. That’s a perfect ass, and it’s hard too come by.
But today I’m gonna talk about the half-ass celebrities or better yet the no-ass females in Hollywood. A woman must have curves in the right places and one of those places is the ass. The ass is the most appealing body part in a woman as far as I’m concern. Next I’m gonna review the top 5 celebrities with a bony ass. Most of them use covert tactics to hide their ass from the flashes of the paparazzi. I’m gonna expose their emaciated asses in all their gauntness.
5. Shitney Smears. Her pelvis is too wide and flat. Ass is not curvy at all. She never had a great ass. Now it’s a haggard ass. Not only she has an emaciated ass but is a tired ass. An ass should be at least firm. I bet all she does is sit on her ass and smoke cigarettes when she’s not lip syncing. An ass must be worked hard in order to have that bubble look that men appreciate.
4. Cameron Diaz. Now she’s been fucking a lot of dudes but still has no ass, her ass has an odd look, actually it doesn’t look like an ass at all it looks like a vagina on her lower back. But I’m sure she’s a nice person.
3. Gisele Bundchen I don’t know what people see in her. She looks like a man, her long legs stop somewhere in her lower abdomen without any clue that an ass is present, there’s nothing sexy about her. Might as well put Michael Phelps in a dress looks exactly like her. I think she could be a tranny.
2. Madonna. Everything Madonna does on stage is a distraction from the fact that shes ass-les. Also she has an unibrow. You can pluck a unibrow but you can’t pluck a new ass.
1. Angelina Jolie is the Queen of no ass. She’s in a league of her own. Her ass is nowhere to be seen. You might say that she compensates in lip power. The lips take all the attention off her haggard ass. But is not enough. There is no substitute for a nice ass. No matter how big your lips are. You can’t do a booty clap with your lips and call it a lip clap.
So there you have it. It’s a shame that so many celebrities chose to inflate their lips and make their lips bigger when they should be focusing on their ass instead, and inflate the ass. The ass is much more important than lips in terms of sex-appeal.
In case you’re wondering, yours truly did get to see B. Spears a few weeks ago with Adam and Patrick. And surprisingly, it was a good time.
Like, a really good time.
Honestly, I could’ve done without the opening acts – why on earth were there 3 of them? I only half listened to Jordin Sparks because I wanted to sing along to “No Air”. So I did.
From the beginning of Britney (minus the random “circus” acts), when she was introduced by Perez, through the end – I was entertained. The fact that she wasn’t singing didn’t matter. She (along with her super awesome dancers) put on a good show.
Don’t hate because you didn’t go. And don’t hate because it’s Britney… bitch.
Last Saturday’s Britney Spears concert drew onlookers and thousands of eager fans to the Alerus Center parking lot before the music started, but it also attracted economists who were on hand to determine how large of an impact this event had on the local economy.
David Flynn, assistant professor of economics at UND, said this concert stood out from many other events in recent years due to the number of outside visitors it attracted. About one-third of tickets were sold to Canadians, he said.
“That outside influence is going to give this a larger impact than it might typically,” he said.
Results of his survey are still preliminary, but he said the extra Canadian traffic in Grand Forks by itself accounted for as much as $500,000 in extra spending. That money was spent on hotel rooms, restaurants and retail shopping over the weekend.
“That alone accounts for a significant amount of extra taxes generated in the local economy,” he said. “That’s quite good.”
Even without looking at the large number of international travelers, the event drew many people from the Midwest who also put external dollars into the Grand Forks economy. Flynn guessed the concert brought in a couple of million dollars of extra spending to businesses in the community.
“People made an evening of it,” he said. “They went to dinner beforehand, went to the show and went to bars afterwards.”
It’s hard to compare the scale of the Spears concert to past Grand Forks events, but Flynn said most people he interviewed said it was bigger than the 2002 Cher concert. The last time the city hosted a big impact event like this, he said, was probably the 2005 World Junior Ice Hockey Tournament or the 2008 World Men’s Curling Tournament.
Flynn said the extent of the concert’s external draw was surprising, and was a “very good thing.”
“I believe that’s the point of having these big shows,” he said. “It should draw from a wide area, and as a result, you get some external dollars flowing in.”
His full economic impact study is not completed, and ticket sales and other information from the Alerus Center are not yet available.
completely ridiculous, hilarious, zany and unexplainable, answering e-mails, playing Prince Charles, Sean Connery or Michael Caine:
Or bumbling through an interview:
but his monologues I never miss. Instead of spitting out joke after joke like other late night personalities, Craig makes his into a short stand-up routine, at least trying to transition from topic to topic.
Just another reason Leno can head back to retirement.
Muita gente gosta de se inspirar nas famosas para compor o visual. Legal ou não, afinal de contas, não é porque é conhecida que quer dizer que se veste bem. Procuramos algumas celebridades em suas roupitchas de praia, vejam e tomem suas próprias conclusões.
O preto é uma cor muito popular até para os biquínis. Fica legal em quase qualquer cor de pele e nos permite brincar bastante com a saída de banho. Repare que embora a parte do bumbum dos biquínis de lá sejam grandes, quando visto de frente, parece muito com os nossos modelos. Tem até o sutiã de cortininha e a parte de baixo de amarrar – que é legal por não valorizar muito nossas gordurinhas que muitas tem do lado nos quadris, porque dá para ajustar, sem ficar parecendo um colchão amarrado encima do bagageiro da Kombi. Os biquínis mais cavados e de laterais finas, como o de Kelly Ripa podem dar a impressão que sua perna é mais longa.
Esses modelos, com alças do sutiã um pouco mais largas e com a frente única, ficam legais em mulheres com muito busto. Se tiver um bojinho pode ser mais confortável, porque vai ajudar a sustentar seus seios. No caso, deve-se evitar enfeites e estampas, que vão fazer seus seios explodirem de tão enormes que ficarão. Cuidado!
O branco fica ótimo em quem já esta um pouco bronzeada. É ideal para fazer um tipo na areia ou na beira da piscina, não recomendamos propriamente tomar um banho de mar, simplesmente porque pode ficar transparente, se não tiver um bom forro. E as vezes o forro pode ser bege, e quem te olhar, vai achar que está da mesma forma transparente.
Os biquínis das três garotas ilustres acima são um pouquinho maiores. O meu preferido é o de Kelly Carlson, achei até chic, adoro esse tipo de sutiã porque tenho pouco busto, cria um formato interessante. Calcinhas como a de Britney Spears ficam legais em quem tem pernas longas.
Continua aquela tendência de usar a calcinha diferente do sutiã. O que todo indica, pelas fotos, essa mania já faz a cabeça das famosas. Esse sutiã de Miley Cyrus apareceu em vários desfiles, com as alças um pouco mais largas. É uma boa opção para as mulheres com peitos grandes, porque não mais sustentação e, por tem as alças largas, não dão a impressão que seu busto é ainda maior.
Aqui no Brasil as mulheres também gostam de misturar os biquínis. Particularmente não curto, mas a mania está nas praias mais badaladas e nos corpos mais cobiçados do país… O modelo de Danielle Winits é interessante para as meninas que tem pouca cintura. O efeito do amarrado nas laterias, junto com o sutiã de alças finas que aumentam o seu busto, dá a sensação que você tem um pouco mais de cintura. Se esse for o seu caso, experimente. O mesmo vale para as meninas de quadris estreitos, só que dêem preferência as cores claras na parte debaixo, que aumentam ainda mais.
Nos corpos magros como de Cíntia Dicker e Carolina Bittencourt tudo fica bem. Elas estão lindas e estão com as pernas absurdamente longas. Aqui fica uma comparação interessante, Aline Moraes, que já foi modelo e não é mais, esta muito mais cheinha, não estou falando que esta gorda, que as ex-colegas de profissão.
A combinação de sutiã de cortininha mais calcinha de amarrar ainda é extremamente popular, principalmente por aquelas que amam tomar um solzinho. O modelo é o queridinho tanto nas celebridades de lá, como nas de cá.
Na verdade, esse modelo fica mais bonito, como quase tudo nessa vida, em quem tem corpo em cima e peitos pequenos, se não, fica muito vulgar com aquele monte de carne sobrando.
Gosto muito desses tops que são franzidos no meio, para mim que tenho pouco busto, me dá algo que não possuo: volume! Para quem tem muito peito é quase um crime! Os modelos com bojo em formato de concha ainda achatam os seios e te deixa com um busto feio. Proibido para as peitudas.
E babados? Aqui no Brasil isso não pega muito bem não. Porém o modelo é legal também para as meninas despeitadas, porque dá volumes aos seios.
Para finalizar o post vamos a um modelo que achei absurdamente ousado. Lindsay Lohan com esse biquíni com aquela tendência de um modelo maior, ele lembra aqueles vestidinhos bondage, não é?
E para vocês leitoras do blog, qual é o it bikini?
Quando recebi o convite do Pedro Beck pra integrar o time de colunistas (oi, na verdade é uma dupla, eu e @wakabara) aqui, fiquei insegura. Eu já sou insegura por natureza, mas queria ter certeza que o Pedro tinha me chamado porque gosta de mim como mulher heterossexual (haha), e não por amizade.
Aí que foi justo essa insegurança que me deu inspiração pra essa primeira coluna. Eu realmente tô cansada de gente que faz carão o tempo todo – ou, pior, tenta sem sucesso. acho que todo mundo tem direito de se produzir e sair de casa achando que está LINDA de vez em quando (ou sempre), contanto que isso não seja sua única preocupação na vida (#ficadica). E sentia cada vez mais falta de uma festa onde todo mundo pudesse ir pra se divertir. De jeans e camiseta ou montado, mas que a preocupação geral não fosse ficar ‘medindo’ a roupa dos outros.
Porque, assim, eu sou essa pessoa. Não tô sempre linda, com a melhor roupa, com um look incrível, com make perfeito. Mas eu leio (menos do que gostaria), assisto filmes novos e antigos, saio pra comer com amigos, vou a exposições de arte e OUÇO MÚSICA indie e POP, que ninguém é de ferro. E prefiro ocupar meu tempo dessa forma. Quando eu cheguei na Balada Mixta (com look incrível, decretado por Jana Rosa, porque eu tava numas de me arrumar), rolou um ‘mixed feelings’ (no pun intended) se o povo ia ficar no carão ou ia se jogar como se não houvesse amanhã. Ainda bem que todo mundo escolheu a segunda opção, cantou com força hits do Backstreet Boys e não ligou que a Katylene tocou três Britney em menos de uma hora. Eu amei. Mesmo acordando atrasada no dia seguinte e passando o dia feito zumbi.
E espero que a Balada Mixta fique cada vez mais assim. Povo alegre, cantando e dançando pelo simples prazer de ser feliz, voltando pra casa antes do que gostaria, porque ainda é quinta, mas não reclamando da ressaquinha na sexta. Porque se divertir cansa, mas vale a pena. Carão só cansa.

After Tulsa’s Mayo Hotel remained abandoned for nearly 20 years, investors spent $40 million to renovate the building into hotel rooms and lofts. Now that it’s open, only select guests are allowed in … and by select, I mean people who probably have crabs.
Rumor has it that Britney Spears is staying in the hotel, along with her entourage. Her “I’m on My Meds Ya’ll” concert is tonight at the BOK Center.
Taylor Swift — “You Belong with Me“ BEYONCE HAD ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!

Below you is the greatest performance in human history. I wish this was sarcasm.

OlyVil, can I tell you how much I love you? I love you so much that I am going to blog the 2009 VMAs tonight. This in and of itself isn’t quite the grand gesture of love, I know, but considering I have been up since 5am, worked a really long shift after which I immediately went grocery shopping and got 150% drenched in a thunderstorm [we're talkin', barefoot in ankle-deep water, people], and am severely in need of a nap, and compounded with the fact that tonight is the season finale of True Blood and I am STILL going to blog the VMAs tonight, I hope you know now how much I love you, OlyVil.
If run-on sentences don’t prove it, I don’t know what will.
In any case, the VMAs are back home in New York this year, and I am so glad, because we know from last year (and the ridiculous Miami years) that the Video Music Awards are just huge roflfests when they’re hosted anywhere except the iconic Radio City Music Hall.
iJustine is randomly providing twitter commentary live at the show this year. I really want to hate her half the time, but I can’t, because she’s honestly pretty cute and just seems like a nice girl. And right after they introduce her, they cut to Sway and Shakira, which makes me laugh because of iJustine’s ridiculous SheWolf spoof:
.
Lady Gaga shows up, and her date is Kermit the frog. That’s cute, not gonna lie, but her dress is … obnoxious. I’M SORRY. I LOVE HER MUSIC BUT I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER OTHERWISE. She’s wearing some kind of obnoxious neck brace and the bitch cannot even move in it. She keeps bending over to give Kermit kisses and she nearly knocks over Sway every time with the angle she has to contord herself in order to bend. Idiot.
At least Kermit still looks adorable.
Okay, time for some pictures during a commercial break. First, the ladies of The Hills, because I love that show even though I have absolutely zero reason to:
Lo Bosworth, with whom I normally want to be BFF, looks absolutely terrifying in this shot, dude. TERRIFYING.
Stephanie Pratt looks very... Dallas.
I pretty much HATE Kristin Cavallari, but I think she's gorgeous and she looks great.
One of the two original Moon Men, Buzz Aldrin, showed up with his wife Lois. Totally random, but cute:
Moon Menz.
Right now, they’re showing the music video for the new Fame, and I 100% could not care less, so I’m ignoring it.
Katy Perry looks like a skank ho. As usual.
It just occurred to me that I have no idea who is hosting this year’s ceremony. And where the hell is Britney? OH, Russel Brand is hosting again. That should be… interesting.
Taylor Swift arrived in a friggen Cinderella carriage, and it would have been really obnoxious if it was anyone other than Taylor Swift. I cannot tell a lie, guys, I unapologetically love her. And I normally HATE country music so it’s like doubly inexplicable. Either way, I think she’s adorable, whatever whatever. I’m excited for her stupid performance.
ANTM’s lesbo Kim MTV News girl whatever is interviewing Fefe Dobson, and all I can think of is why the hell is she even there? Was there a Fefe Dobson renaissance while I was ignoring MTV in the weeks after the most recent season of The Hills ended?
Why do you exist, Fefe Dobson?
Beyonce is on the carpet now, and she’s gorgeous as usual I HATE HER. I’m just kidding, I don’t really hate her. I’M JUST SAYING, I HATE HER OUT OF PRINCIPLE OF BEING TOO GORGEOUS.
Love her dress. She looks good.
Okay, the show is about to start, and from what everyone says, it opens with a tribute to Michael Jackson, of course. Madonna is walking out, holy guac, she’s still alive? JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING. She actually looks unterrifying despite how she’s looked recently in the tabloids. Now she’s comparing herself to Michael Jackson. I will not cry during ANOTHER Michael Jackson tribute, okay? I just won’t.
Yeah right. I’ll let you know the second I start sobbing my face off.
Pete Wentz is bowing his head. It’s not CHURCH, Petey.
Madonna’s anecdote is loooong as hell. All I can think of right now is that if Russel Brand comes out and makes some off-color joke about the whole thing, I’m gonna be PO’d. Madonna finally steps off, and Thriller starts playing. THERE ARE ZOMBIES! And I can’t get up and dance along because I am blogging. BLAST. The main dancers are all wearing costumes from different parts of Michael’s career, and I’m loving it. Someone has on the red Thriller jacket. Two others have the military jackets. Another has the classic white shirt and too-short black pants and loafers.
VMA MJ Tribute
VMA MJ Tribute
Smooth Criminal starts playing and I’m FREAKING OUT cos this is by far my favorite MJ song, not even gonna lie.
Omgggg they’re playing Scream and now I’m sure Janet is gonna come out, and I’m so excited. THERE SHE IS. She looks great. Aw, dang. Michael is dancing right behind her in the video and she’s mimicking his moves and I love it. And it ends with a shot of Janet and Michael hugging and I’m on the verge of tears but HOLDING IT TOGETHER, OKAY?
Janet Jackson
The show officially starts now and Katy Perry is singing We Will Rock You, with Joe Perry on guitar. This is such a farce. At least Katy Perry is wearing pants for once in her miserable life. Russel Brand makes his big entrance. Big whoop. He’s already making off-color jokes and it’s pretty disgusting. Whatever whatever. Does anyone actually like this guy?
Okay whatever. Let’s do this. Shakira and Taylor Lautner come out to present Best Female Video. Oh, I get it. A SheWolf and a Werewolf. Oh, MTV, you’re so clever. The nominees are Lady Gaga for Poker Face, Kelly Clarkson for My Life Would Suck Without You [TERRIBLE SONG BTW], Beyonce for Single Ladies, Taylor Swift for You Belong With Me, Katy Perry for Hot N Cold, and P!nk for So What. The winner: Taylor Swift!
!!!! AW, TAYLOR SWIFT. She looks completely shocked and its adorable. I love her WHY. WHY DO I LOVE HER SO MUCH? UH, KANYE WEST LITERALLY JUST YANKED THE MIC OUT OF TAYLOR’S HAND AND WAS LIKE “EXCUSE ME, BUT BEYONCE HAD THE BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR.”
WHAT THE HELL, KANYE? ARE YOU EVER NOT A COMPLETE ASSHOLE? SERIOUSLY? I CAN’T ACTUALLY TURN OFF MY CAPSLOCK BECAUSE I AM SO OFFENDED ON TAYLOR’S BEHALF RIGHT NOW.
HATE HIM.
Video is already uploaded! Heck yes:
UGH EFF YOU, KANYE.

Leighton Meester and Jack Black come out, and Jack Black is wearing some weird muscle costume. Well, okay. Leighton looks beautiful. Also, annoyed. They’re presenting Best Rock Video, Coldplay for Viva La Vida.. really? That’s ROCK? Fall Out Boy for… something. Green Day for 21 Guns, Kings of Leon for Use Somebody, and Paramore for Decode. And the winner is GREEN DAY!, and Kim probably dies of excitement. Although she probably would have died for Coldplay too.
Billie Joe Armstrong is so small.
The smallness of Billie Joe never fails to make me giggle. Also, you know you’re old when Green Day wins a VMA, and Billie Joe gives a shout out to his son for his birthday. Old.
And now its TayTay’s performance, and she’s performing from the 42nd street subway? Well, okay. Aw, I wanna be on her train. SHE ALMOST FELL OVER. HILAR. Aw, honey. This performance is really cute, okay? It’s just cute. There are people in the crowd making heart signs with their fingers and it’s just adorable. New York, when did you get so cute?
Pete Wentz and Gabe Saporta or whatever the heck from Cobra Starship just came out. Wow. And they’re totally annoying. Awesome. Pete Wentz is TINY. Has he always been so tiny? THEY’RE INTRODUCING LADY GAGA. HECK YES. LET’S SEE WHAT THIS CRAZY BITCH GETS UP TO THIS TIME.
Paparazzi starts playing, and thats awesome cos it’s totally my favorite song from the album, whatever whatever. She looks psychotic, as always. Her voice is so good. I hate her. Her voice is SO GOOD. Once she takes off the weird ass mask she’s wearing, she actually looks pretty good. For Lady Gaga, anyway. Luckily, her hair is still mostly covering her fugface. AND I MISSED SOMETHING COS NOW SHE’S SUDDENLY COVERED IN BLOOD? I swear, I blink once and bitch goes crazy. Well, that ended weirdly.
Oh, Lady G. You were looking so good.
UNTIL THIS.
OH MY GOD, I CANNOT EVEN EXPLAIN WHAT LADY GAGA IS WEARING RIGHT NOW AFTER THE COMMERCIAL BREAK. OH MY GOD, SOMEONE BETTER PHOTOGRAPH HER SO I CAN POST IT. SHE IS COVERED HEAD TO TOE IN RED LACE. WITH A RED LACE CROWN. WHAT THE HELL?
Nelly Furtado and Kristin Cavallari come out to present Best Pop Video. Nominees: Beyonce for Single Ladies. Lady Gaga for Poker Face, Britney Spears for Womanizer, Cobra Starship for Good Girls Go Bad, and Wisin Y Yandel for Abusadora (what? who?). Nelly is speaking in Portuguese for who knows what reason. AND BRITNEY WINS. And people are actually booing. Wowwww, guys. Hey Kanye, wanna get up and bitch some more? Actually, I guess not, since he STORMED OUT after Taylor’s win. Wowwww.
Adam Brody and Megan Fox come out. Adam, I love you. Megan, go die in a fire. They introduce Green Day, and I’m wondering if this year we’re gonna have more performances than awards. So far, 5 performances, 3 awards. Uhhhh, okay, MTV.
I have nothing to say about this performance. Shrug!
Oh, Green Day
NEW REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES CHALLENGE THIS MONTH. HECK YES.
Omg Pitbull is at the VMAs?! That’s so weird.
Ugh New Moon trailer time. I have to go poop or something.
AGH CHACE CRAWFORD AND NE-YO. Ne-Yo is actually my Chris Brown replacement, since we can no longer love Chris Brown, as you know. And Chace Crawford for me is the man all other men will have to live up to, so yeah. Love them!
Aaaand, seriously, now its Beyonce’s performance. Are there ANY awards being handed out this year?
Oh B. You look so good. I hate you. She’s doing some jacked up version of Single Ladies. And then the real music starts and lady is up with her leotard girls doing THE DANCE. Heck yes! I love how everytime I see this dance, I try to recreate it as if I have any rhythm at all. Whatever whatever. There is like an army of sexy robot women doing THE DANCE (it has to be capitalized like that okay?).
ARMY OF SINGLE HOTTIES. HOLD ON TO YOUR PANTS, MENZ. Look at B's face, I LOVE IT.
Diddy and Jamie Lynn Zigler come out to present Best Male Video, and Jamie Lynn’s dress is CUUUUTE. Diddy mentions Kanye and the entire auditorium starts booing and chanting TAYLOR, and it makes me laugh really hard. Nominees: Eminem for We Made You, Jay Z for DOA, TI & Rihanna for Live Your Life, Kanye West for Love Lockdown WHATEVER. More booing, hilariously. Ne-Yo for Miss Independent. Isn’t that song, like, really old? The winner is TI! Yessss.
Another performance. Wow, dude. WOW. Oh, it’s Muse. That’s cute. I haven’t heard anything from them since Absolution. Alas! Alexa Chung and Gerard Butler introduce them. I didn’t know who Alexa Chung was until like 3 weeks ago when Lauren Collins and Adamo Ruggiero from Degrassi were on her show, cos clearly I’m really out of touch, but shes adorable.
They just showed a clip of All American Rejects performing that Give You Hell song, and Tyson Ritter is positively COVERED in body glitter, and it made me IRL LOL because I recently stumbled across a tumblr dedicated to Tyson Ritter’s body glitter, and didn’t really get it, UNTIL NOW.
Jennifer Lopez comes out next to present Best Hip Hop Video. Nominees: Eminem for We May Be, Flo-Rida for Right Round, and that video and song are RETARDED, just fyi. Kanye West for Love Lockdown, and people are STILL booing. That’s not even Hip Hop. Jay Z for DOA. Asher Roth for I Love College, which makes me laugh cos, whatever whatever, I totally love that crappy song. Eminem wins, and looks totally miserable as usual. So does J.Lo, actually. Hilarious. Eminem’s face still looks weird.
Speaking of Eminem, he and Tracy Morgan come out to announce Best New Artist. Nominees are Lady Gaga, Asher Roth, Kid Cudi, and 3OH!3. Tracy Morgan starts singing TIME AFTER TIME, and I giggle. And the winner: Lady Gaga. OMG YES THANK GOD, BECAUSE I WANT YOU ALL TO SEE THE GETUP SHE IS CURRENTLY WEARING AHAHAHA OH MY GOD. SHE’S SO WEIRD.
Gaga, you are so weird.
Aahahaha and then she peels that red lace off her facce and knocks that stupid crown to the floor, thank goodness. She says this award is for God, and the gays. ahahaha. Oh, Lady G.
Serena Williams comes out to announce P!nk, and I could not care less, honestly. I don’t dislike the lady, but all her music sounds the same to me, man. Also, her left boob is exposed aside from a heart-shaped pasty. That’s.. random. She’s doing some crazy acrobat performance. Okay, that’s pretty cool, not gonna lie. Now she and her sexy acrobat partner are swinging back and forth and that lady is gonna go flying in a second, I swear.
Oh, P!nk.
FYI, Pink and Shakira hilariously wore the same damn dress tonight:
Who wore it better: Pink?
Or Shakira?
Personally, I like Shakira’s hardcore boots with that skimpy little dress, so I think she wins this one. Sorry, Pink!
Jimmy Fallon and Andy Samberg come out to present Video of the Year. Nominees: Beyonce for Single Ladies, Eminem for We Made You, Lady Gaga for Poker Face, Kanye West for Love Lockdown, Britney Spears for Womanizer. I’m pullin’ for Beyonce for this one, just cos I really think she deserves at least one for that video, man. OH FINALLY YES SHE GOT IT. HECK YES, BEYONCE WINS BEST VIDEO. OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS GAGA WEARING THIS TIME? OMG AHAHAHA
Ok sorry. AW. BEYONCE JUST CALLED TAYLOR ONTO THE STAGE TO HAVE HER MOMENT. AW! BEYONCE I LOVE YOU.
Jay Z is coming out to perform now with Alicia Keys. I love him. YEAH, WHATEVER, I LOVE HIM. Classic performance, but I really have nothing to say. Oh well!
Okay, guys. It’s over. I’m still looking for a few more photos, but True Blood is on so I’m just gonna friggen post this. Thanks for stickin’ with me during this SPAZFACED liveblog. Leave comments telling me what you thought of the show! Personally, I think it was a giant step up from the past few years, but still not as classic as some of the better ceremonies of the 90’s. Oh well. Overall, I’m pleased.
Los VMA se transmitirán hoy por el canal MTV, dónde promete haber varias sorpresas, un homenaje a Michael Jackson, La pelea entre GaGa y Beyoncé al ser las más nominadas, se “estrenará” el nuevo trailer de Luna Nueva que ya fué filtrado a la red, también uno de los sencillos de Luna Nueva con la banda The Equinox, la transmisión inicia a las 8 pm tiempo pacifico el pre show, la alfombra roja, luego a las 9 pm comienza el programa completo, así que esperemos que los premios sean como lo han estado anunciando.
I don’t think my cowboy boots work like Dorothy’s red spangle pumps and I’ve got to say, that was a little bit unfortunate for me tonight after my poetry workshop.
Kids, I’m feeling a little… well… undereducated. (collective gasp) As many of you know I got through the first oh, I don’t know, NINE YEARS of my education reading novels under my desk. I missed a lot of essential grammar, poetic, you know, stuuuffff… and all of the math and science. ENTIRELY.
So today, I made an ENORMOUS ass of myself when I criticized the use of the word “and” in a SONNET when a: I didn’t manage to identify it as a sonnet, and b: it was clearly there to make the iambic pentameter or whatever work.
That and someone in my class rolled their eyes when I criticized the fact that every line of their poem was capitalized (I HATE THAT).
I’m totally nervous about letting them read my poetry, the writing of which has only picked back up in the last week after a summer of mind numbing socializing. oh god.
I know that I’m going to school to LEARN about this whole poetry writing thing, but I’m used to being the BEST poet in my class (I know that sounds snotty, but it’s true) and now I am CLEARLY not going to hold that position. I don’t want to be the person that people wonder how they got into graduate school on this SHIT that they are writing in the first place. So, yeah. I was cool with graduate school up until today.
How about some Britney to calm your nerves. Britney with Ellen. We love them, remember?
SM Entertainment, the creators of TVXQ, Girls’ Generation and SHINee, has introduced another girl group, f(x), adding fuel to the already heated race between female performers.
The showcase for the new five-member girl group was held last week at the Fashion Center in southern Seoul, hosted by Girls’ Generation member Sunny and Super Juniors’ Lee Teuk.
Although the young members smiled nervously every now and then, it was evident that they were excited to finally present themselves to the public.
The group f(x) is comprised of Sulli, Luna, Krystal, Amber and Victoria. The name is written as the mathematical equation for function and, like the changing results depending on the applied variable “x,” the group is aiming to apply each of their individual talents to bring out the group’s colorful charms.
The girls appeared in black with black fedoras, dancing to the beat of Sam Sparro’s “Black & Gold.” The lucky fans who were chosen to attend the showcase shouted the members’ names, but the girls kept up the energy with “Womanizer” by Britney Spears. The performance was powerful, but the doll-faced girls were a little too skinny to bring out the sexiness and edge of the song.
When they came into the spotlight, it was easy to see that the girls had done their work in terms of style. Each member donned at least one of the recent trends, from pointy shoulder jackets to colorful and graphic print leggings and long and curly hair, proving once again that Korean idol groups are not just about music, but the whole package.
“We have been preparing for this moment for so long. We are all so nervous,” Krystal said.
After singing “Mr. Boogie,” a catchy electro number, the members continued by showing off their individual talents: Victoria danced to Ciara’s “Love Sex Magic,” Amber offered a bit of Fort Minor’s “Believe Me,” and Luna boasted her vocals with “And I am Telling You I’m Not Going.”
Victoria’s performance was superb, although it would have been more impressive if she actually sang as well. Amber, who donned a tomboy look and said she admired rapper Nas, was one of the most popular among the fans, with her short haircut and mischievous smile. As for Luna, her singing surprised both fans and the press, but it was hard to find any emotions, perhaps because it was her first official appearance.
f(x) wrapped up the showcase with their debut number “LA chA TA,” a catchy dance track with hints of hip-hop and pop.
The group made their television debut last Saturday on MBC’s Show! Music Core, singing LA chA TA, which is the title track of their album.
“I thought their debut was impressive, considering their age. They look so young, but they still have charisma and I think that’s important,” Kim Soo-yeon, 21, who watched the group’s debut, told The Korea Times. She added that although they made a strong impression, they would have to work hard to compete with the reigning girl groups KARA, Girls’ Generation and 2NE1.
After their first appearance on television, f(x) attracted news agencies from other Asian countries as well. One of China’s largest portal Web sites www.sina.com described the group as one that will change the standings of Korean girl groups, while other sites like www.sohu.com, Thailand’s www.sanook.com and Hong Kong’s daily newspapers covered the group’s showcase and debut.
“The song LA chA Ta is an abbreviation of the exclamations `la la la’ and `cha cha cha.’ It’s a word we made up for the song and we hope it will catch the attention of fans,” Victoria said.
“We have big plans ahead of us, especially plans to perform abroad. We were formed targeting other Asian countries including China, Thailand and Japan, so we have set our hopes up to move forward,” she added.
She’s struck a chord with the bubblegum pop sound, but the always flawless Britney Spears proved that she’s got a bit of rock cred too!
Check out Ms. B unleashing her inner-most angst singing(!) Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know” on the most recent stop of her world tour.
Don’t be alarmed if you fall head over feet for it… I absolutely did!
So what inspired Spears to add the ex-bashing number to the show? All eyes point to the rumors suggesting she and agent-boyfriend Jason Trawick have split, but other outlets suggest the opposite.
Whatever the reason, the legendary Ms. Britney Spears rocked it (and that’s all that matters).
In Greensboro, NC, Britney Spears became a lip syncer touring artist no more. We really MUST be in a recession if Britney Spears has taken to singing live for her supper these days in concert. That’s unheard of in the 2000s!
But yes, Britney actually sung live. Britney’s cover of Alanis Morissette’s You Oughta Knows is a decent effort from Miss Spears.
Britney follows in the footsteps of Beyonce Knowles, who has been covering this song for months now each night of her I Am Tour.
What are both Britney and Beyonce saying about Alanis Morisette? The love her. Congrats girls. All three of you are great!
