Will Britney Spears get her second chance on stage?

2008-06-28T06:37:00.000-07:00

Most people, if not all, say that everybody deserves a second chance in life. In Britney Spears’ case, will a second (third, fourth, and fifth) chance do magic in her deteriorating career?

Well I guess Brit should start getting herself hair restoration in philadelphia by Dr Pistone now as rumors have it that the (has been) pop princess and new aunt to Jamie Lynn’s newborn daughter, Maddie Briann will have an encore to her disastrous 2007 MTV Video Music Awards performance this year.

Now you might be one of those who’ll react negatively to this, as the thought of her performance last year still sends shiver and disgust to me actually, but if Brit will really get her second chance on stage for MTV is a sure win-win situation to both parties. Of course Britney will have a yet another so-called chance to prove she still got it while MTV will have the ratings again.

But really, do you think Britney will be able to redeem herself from that hideous intermission number last year? Do you believe she still has that ‘magic’?

It’s Always Good to Have a Musical Boyfriend

2008-06-27T18:06:00.000-07:00

Since the server of the blogging network I am working with has been down for more than a week now, that also goes to say that it has been more than a week that I haven’t written about our dear heiress, Paris Hilton.

Curious as to how far I’ve already been left behind keeping up with the latest of the famous/infamous socialite, I just found out that Paris is already working on the theme song of her upcoming reality TV show, Paris Hilton’s My New BFF. And if that is not enough news, her boyfriend for four months, Good Charlotte guitarist, Benji Madden is helping her out doing the song.

Of course we all know that Paris just didn’t have the musicality in her. But having Benji by her side, who knows he can do some magic with her girl’s ‘lack of talent’. Well if ecobox air purifer by ecoquest has been successful in purifying the air by killing the germs on the surfaces, I believe Benji can also bring out the best of Paris in terms of ‘talent’.

In an interview with E! Paris shares that she and Benji and working hard on the song; he helping her write the lyrics of the song that she’s going to sing.

Paris singing again?! Why not?!

Brad and Ange throw another million

2008-06-26T07:42:00.000-07:00

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

With their great looks and superstar status, who will argue when I say these two are the most famous celebrity couples in Hollywood?

But aside from their physical features (considered one of the most perfect in this world), you know the other thing that makes this couple special? – Their good hearts.

From doting parents to their children, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh Nouvel (biological daughter), Pax, and their coming twins, the two has also been actively involved in various social issues, both domestically and internationally.

And today in People magazine, it has just been reported that the couple is donating a whooping $1million to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict to help the American and Iraqi children suffering from the war.

Now, this isn’t really something that we should be surprised of. This is after all not the first time that the Jolie-Pitts threw their millions for charity. It’s not a wonder why these two are among those that make website user experience strategy better for bloggers like me.

Kudos to the couple!

Britney’s little sister gives birth to a baby girl

2008-06-26T06:20:00.000-07:00

Hear ye! Hear ye! Here’s another name you should add to your celebrity baby names list this year, Maddie Briann.

Who is Maddie Briann? Well she’s the newborn baby girl of Britney Spears’ little sister, Jamie Lynn and her partner, Casey Aldridge.

The 17-year-old Zoey 101 star who became controversial for getting pregnant at a very young age finally gave birth last Thursday (June 19) at a hospital in Mississippi to a bouncing 7 pounds, 11 ounces baby girl.

Baby Maddie Briann joins the roster of celebrity babies this year that include Nicole Richie and Joel Madden’s Harlow, Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman’s Max Liron, and Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s Max and Emme.

Whew! That’s quite a number of names there and about a number to come, too including the coming twins of superstar couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

I am just glad Jamie Lynn has finally given birth and is set to start a new phase of her life. Wishing her all the best in motherhood.

Congratulations!

Ready to Meet Your Match?

2008-06-21T07:17:00.000-07:00

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Victoria and David Beckham.

Aside from being famous personalities in Hollywood, what do you think these pairs have in common?

I say, each of these pairs have found a match in each other.

Sigh, love indeed is for everybody. From the nobody’s like me to those big stars in Hollywood, we all are moved by love.

You may agree or disagree with me, but I believe that everyone in this world at least once in their lives (in one way or another) have hoped and waited for their ‘the one’ to come. But while it’s no harm waiting for love to come in your life, I still think that it is better you do something with that rather than waste your time waiting.

How? Get out from your box and start meeting new people! And what better way to do that but through Free Dating.

And if it’s a match you are looking for, then I say you try Meeta.com. – The place where singles meet.

All you have to do is create an account or an interest group/s, or browse over their free search tools to locate a special someone, and you might just be a step away from your ‘perfect match’.

With the site’s free matching system, everybody’s enabled to get unlimited matches on their way. That said, everybody’s got the chance for an unlimited choices.

So, are you ready to fall in-love?

Christina Wants More Babies

2008-06-02T20:12:00.000-07:00

Talking as if she didn’t just come from the pains and inconvenience of being pregnant, Christina Aguilera has been talking about her desire of having more babies.

Yep, the new mom who says motherhood makes her feel sexy just told Extra that she is so looking forward to giving her son Max some brothers or sisters soon.

I wonder what her husband, Jordan Bratman has to say about this.

Christina may be one of those who think being pregnant in Hollywood is the in thing. Like a huge tummy is some accessory. I think Christina should start working on her enormous boobies first.

Geez, if Christina can’t wait to get pregnant again, I just am the opposite!

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz: Yes We’re Expecting!

2008-05-28T20:23:00.000-07:00

After Ashlee Simpson and her husband, Pete Wentz have denied speculations of the first’s pregnancy, the newlyweds seems to have ‘taken-back’ what they just said and confirm that indeed, they are expecting their first child.

In Pete’s website he writes,

“While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child.”

“This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.”

Now this is one of those news that could really send me rolling my eyes. Like what does this pair expect? People jumping for joy as they finally just confirmed what they’ve just denied?! Surely they know that the people are smart enough to have known all along.

I just couldn’t stand why they have to go through all the dramas of denying then confirming in the end. You think Ashlee and Pete just waited to be married to make things less… controversial?!

Is George Clooney back to being a bachelor?!

2008-05-28T19:50:00.000-07:00

After months of painting the town red by being in-love, rumor has it that George Clooney and his girlfriend for a year, Sarah Larson have split up.

However, the actor’s rep, Stan Rosenfield would not comment on the issue saying, “We do not comment on George's personal life.”

George and Sarah met in Las Vegas almost four years ago and went out in public as a pair at Venice and Deauville film festivals in September last year.

Now if that rumor has any truth in it, then it’s sad news since I really thought (and hoped) that Sarah’s the one for George.

With George’s timeless sexiness, I really think he and Sarah is a perfect match. But oh well, we should’ve known, right?! That’s just how Hollywood goes, one moment they’re in-love, the next thing we know they’ve found somebody new.

Lindsay Lohan is so gay!

2008-05-26T20:38:00.000-07:00

Now don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against gays and lesbians. In fact, I myself am a huge Ellen DeGeneres fan.

But what’s freakin’ me out is the thought that Lindsay Lohan’s ‘evolution’ from a princess to a Hollywood wh*re to a crazy bisexual!

Attending a party on Diddy’s yacht in Cannes, France, Lindsay and her BFF Samantha Ronson have definitely turned heads holding hands and being affectionate to each other.

They travel a lot together and have been party companions, what are they?! Are they just friends or something more than that?!

Geez Lindsay I don’t know what to call you anymore! It’s just so disappointing seeing that Parent Trap cutie girl turn out to be a notorious celebrity. Have she really gone nuts?!

David Cook is the new American Idol

2008-05-21T19:19:00.000-07:00

It seems like yesterday when American Idol’s Season 7 begun; thousands of idol-wanna be’s flocked the various audition cities in the US and millions from all over world tuned in to witness the search for the next American Idol.

And now, the search is over, David Cook wins!

After outlasting 11 contestants and going neck-to-neck with young David Archuletta, the 25-year-old Texas-born rocker has captured the hearts of the American people and won by 12 million votes (a world record!).

This sure is one good day for me! I am close to tears watching a teary Cook singing his victory song, Time of My Life. I’ve been jumping in glee upon his ‘proclamation’.

Congratulations DC!

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren: Just Married!

2008-05-20T20:23:00.000-07:00

Now here’s another couple to add the list of Hollywood’s newlyweds of 2008. – Jessica Alba and Cash Warren.

Yep, after getting engaged for five months, the mom-to-be and her long-time boyfriend has been confirmed by People to have gotten married last Monday in the Beverly Hills courthouse's ceremony room.

The wedding was said to be casual that both Jess and Cash were just clad in a casual clothes; the Fantastic 4 star wearing “a long blue dress and her hair back in a ponytail” and Cash on a white shirt and brown pants. Aside from the two of them, nobody else was reported to have attended the wedding.

Well I understand the two wanting to keep their getting married a secret (just like Beyonce and Jay-Z). I guess aside from Paris Hilton stars now just want to take a break from the media especially if it concerns their private lives. And as a fan of Jessica Alba I truly am happy for the star who’s now a wife and soon to be a mother.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi to get married

2008-05-19T19:09:00.000-07:00

Well it looks like Hollywood is in for a red year as more and more stars tie the knot (Ashlee and Pete, Mariah and Nick) if not get engaged. Here’s another pair to add the list of the “two less lonely people in the world.” – Ellen DeGeneres and her long time girlfriend, Portia de Rossi.

In an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the host who just turned 50 announced the big news just after the “California's Supreme Court struck down a law banning gay marriage.”

The two began dating in December 2004.

Well until our cable was up, I wasn’t really too aware who Ellen is. But as I started watching her show, I am always in awe with her brilliance in hosting and stand up comedy. And while I used to be really prude with this matter, I really wish all the best for Ellen and Portia.

Congrats!

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz tie the knot

2008-05-19T18:11:00.000-07:00

After the much-talked about engagement (ring and pregnancy rumor included), pop singer Ashlee Simpson and her Fall Out Boy boyfriend, Pete Wentz finally tied the knot last Saturday in an intimate ceremony.

Ashlee was said to have worn a Monique Lhuillier (go Pinay!) ivory lace wedding gown and jewels by William Noble as she exchanged vows to Pete in front of 150 guests in her parents area home. Her sister, Jess served as her maid of honor.

Now speaking of Jess, I hope the newlyweds don’t turn out like Jess and Nick Lachey’s failure marriage after their much-celebrated wedding (and a reality TV show that came after that). And now that they’ve tied the knot, I guess all we have to do now is wait till a baby bump comes out. ***Grins***

Parvati Shallow is Survivor Micronesia Winner

2008-05-13T21:28:00.000-07:00

As a big Survivor fan, I must say this season is by far the best one I’ve ever seen in the show. Women dominated and outwitted the men, blindsides now and then, number of injuries jut kept arising, and of course a love affair that blossomed. Surely, "Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites" is one season I can never forget.

And as the season closed last Monday (Philippine schedule) I was a bit disappointed yet satisfied with how the season ended. Well of course I would’ve want Amanda to win the title as sole survivor but then again the girl didn’t have the talent to talk it out to the jury. And so she was outlasted by her good friend, Parvati Shallow who took home the title and won the $1million.

What I couldn’t forget most on the show was the way Ozzy faced the two on the final tribal council and professed his love for Amanda. I love Ozzy but I love him more for that. I can’t help but scream in joy with that mushy scene. Super!

Can’t wait for Survivor Gabon on September!

Who’s Your Ultimate Survivor Bet?

2008-04-30T01:27:00.000-07:00

Well it used to be my man Ozzy, the man who can do everything, but then he got booted out two weeks ago for being so dumb not playing his idol (blunder!).

Now, with only seven of them left, who do you think deserves the $1Million and the chance to be called Survivor: Micronesia – Fans VS Favorites Ultimate Survivor?

My thoughts:

Eric: We all know the only reason Eric’s still on the game is because of Ozzy so I guess his only hope to make it to the finals is if he gets hold of the immunity necklace for long.

James: I would absolutely love to see James winning! For me, he’s the only one among those remaining castaways who played a clean game. I love him (next to Ozzy)! However, I think he’ll be the one to be sent home for another injury.

Amanda: I think Amanda’s game play has always been to be a tag-along. If it worked for her the previous season, I don’t think it will still work now. This girl’s just got to learn to stand on her own.

Parvati: Oh the she-devil. She’s actually this devious already in Cook Islands, although she hasn’t had the chance to make it that far on the game. I think this time the luck’s on her.

Cirie: I would never want to see Cirie winning. From the start, she’s always been cunning and scheming.

Alexis: Girl power to the max! I must say Alexis is a strong contender to become this season’s winner. She’s playing a good combination of physical and social strategy.

Natalie: I just hate Natalie’s guts. Plain and simple.

You had my thoughts, what are yours?

Joel Madden is back in the arms of Nicole and Harlow

2008-04-22T23:16:00.000-07:00

Unlike his twin brother, Benji, Joel Madden probably had a tough time being apart from his 3-month-old daughter Harlow and partner Nicole Richie for their band’s European tour. Well it sure is hard performing for the Good Charlotte whilst you are thinking about your new-born, right?!

But thanks for some break, after a month traveling throughout Europe, Joel is back in Los Angeles to make up time with his baby Harlow and Nicole.

The happy family was spotted making their way through the LAX airport yesterday with baby Harlow having that loving gaze for her Pa. Awww…

Wonder where they are heading?! Hmmm… I hope they’ll head to New York and check out the various NYC Attractions there. You know, just the three of them getting themselves a guided tour like the CitySights NY and enjoying the sights and the company of each other in New York City.

Can you imagine baby Harlow enjoying a helicopter ride or spending time with her mom and dad via a Manhattan cruise or double decker sightseeing? That would sure be a lot of fun!

Well I know I’m getting a bit too excited with this family’s get-together. But I just can’t help being glad to see this family complete after a month or so of being apart from each other.

I wish they have fun with this little break.

Is Ashlee Simpson Pregnant?!

2008-04-15T01:45:00.000-07:00

After lovebirds, Ashlee Simpson and rocker boyfriend Pete Wentz announced their engagement several days ago, rumors have it that Jessica’s little sister may already be expecting a baby now.

This speculations went stronger when Ashlee was pictured from LAX airport that somehow ‘seems’ to be hiding a baby bump. Or is she?!

Well to answer back these rumors of Ashlee being knocked up, her future husband wrote an email to MTV today that said:

“There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood. This is all news to me. I can't wait for the story about how I'm really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover. ... I mean really, this is crazy. ... I mean we're engaged, that's true, and happy about it.”

You believe him?! Is she or is she not?!

I guess we’ll all find that out one of these days.

Ashton on Details

2008-04-15T01:31:00.000-07:00

Described by Details magazine as “tall, slender, and athletic,” Demi Moore’s hunk of a husband, Ashton Kutcher hits the cover of the publication on its May 2008 issue.

Wearing a sexy beard and a serious and an oh-so hot look, Ashton’s cover is so far from his crazy-like Punk’d image.

For the mag’s interview Ash talks about his life as Demi’s husband, his religious preference, and other serious and light matters about him.

Well I must say Demi is one helluva lucky girl for having such gorgeous and not to mention young husband. I love the cover although it made me notice his not-so-perfect nose. Oh well, with a face and body like that, a little flaw will be alright.

Gwyneth Paltrow does Vogue

2008-04-15T01:17:00.000-07:00

Clad on gold, tissue-lame, embroidered Pre-Fall 2008 dress by Oscar de la Renta, 35-year-old actress, Gwyneth Paltrow graces the cover of Vogue’s May 2008 issue.

Unlike her usual glamorous and I-am-fashion-icon kind of covers, this latest issue of Gwyn is probably a promotional one for her upcoming film, Iron Man which will be released on May 2. Resting her elbow on an Iron Man mask, it sure is a promotion!

I also think this cover has just had too much of Photoshop done on it as Gwyn just looked so skinny and almost ghost-like.

Charice Pempengco to guest on Oprah

2008-04-11T18:44:00.000-07:00

I saw this video on YouTube pertaining to a coming episode of Oprah show on May featuring gifted children probably from all over the world. In my surprise, I saw Charice Pempengco on the teaser! Dang! This girl is definitely on her way to stardom!

First, on Ellen DeGeneres Show, and now Oprah?! FYI, Oprah’s the number 1 show in the world! Anyone who guests on appears on this show is most likely to get famous. And with Charice’s brilliant voice, this would be it!

For a 15-year-old this Pinay sure has a very bright future ahead of her in terms of international success.

I may not be a big fan of her but I sure am proud of all her success and recognitions. Of course she brings with her the name of my country. Congratulations girl! Keep up the good work!

By the way, here the YouTube video of the upcoming Oprah episode:

Hef-y Birthday!

2008-04-07T05:07:00.000-07:00

Celebrating his 82^nd birthday with a style, Playboy father Hugh Hefner was joined by his girldfriends Kendra Wilkinson, Bridget Marquardt, and Holly Madison at the Playboy Club in Las Vegas.

After unveiling his own table at the club, the playa pimp was then greeted by fans and wellwishers.

Now isn’t he lucky?

You know with a name tagged with Playboy, I wonder if Hef is ever pressure with that. I mean, he’s 82, and no matter what, he’s no superman. Well, what I want to say is that, ‘Does this guy ever need viagra?!’

Guess Who?

2008-04-07T04:05:00.000-07:00

Can you guess who this masked darling is?

Well in case you haven’t figured it out yet. That’s actually one of the Olsen twins (though I’m not sure whether it’s Mary-Kate or Ashley). And no, they aren’t into some cult or something not even on a Halloween party either.

Apparently the twins along with other masked ladies made their way to the streets of Los Angeles to attend a wedding. And since they didn’t like to be photographed, they thought of this ‘brilliant’ idea of wearing masks.

But guess what? With or without a mask, the papz will always find their way to a good story.

Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson works together for the new James Bond film

2008-04-06T05:24:00.000-07:00

No, they aren’t the one to play in the movie. But superproducer Mark Ronson and English songwriter and singer Amy Winehouse are teaming up to write and record the song to be featured in the new James Bond film.

The song to be included in the 22^nd Bond movie, Quantum of Solace would probably be the biggest song in these two’s careers.

Yet, if I may be really honest, until this post, I actually do not know who Amy Winehouse is. Well I’ve heard her name and saw her photos on various blogs I bump into but I didn’t really care reading those news about her. Why? It’s just that her beehive hair and eccentric look ain’t something that interests me.

But I guess I’m interested now.

Anyway, back to Amy, I really do hope this break would be a good diversion from her self-destructive behavior. With her brilliant talent, it’s a pity that she’s just turning herself into a poster girl for drug abuse.

You see, despite having all the success in her music career, Amy has always been looking disturbed and “suicidal”. I guess being a chronic drug abuser that she is brings her a life that’s so uncelebrity-like; chaotic and so unattached. I know she’s been to a rehab to help her get over this but if it really didn’t help much, she should try seeking help at Renaissance Malibu. The healing center and treatment facility is established especially to people like Amy.

Although I’m not a fan of this ‘sicko’, I really hope she gets through this and continue moving forward with her career starting with this Bond break…

Beyoncé and Jay-Z wedding takes place today (?!)

2008-04-04T20:09:00.000-07:00

Flowers and candelabras delivered in front of Jay-Z's Tribeca apartment building in New York City earlier today? What could this be?

After the lovebirds, Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z went to Scarsdale, NY to get a marriage license it wouldn’t be a surprise that the two are finally exchange their vows now.

Sources tell People that “A lot of their friends are booking hotel rooms.” Earlier today, workers erected a wide white tent atop the building and 50,000 to 60,000 white orchid blooms from Thailand was also ordered for a ‘big party.’

Well if this ain’t a wedding ceremony, then I don’t know what is. This should really be it, huh?!

Congratulations guys!

Naomi Campbell says ‘tata’ to jail

2008-04-04T19:55:00.000-07:00

After being arrested yesterday for spitting on an officer at terminal 5 in Heathrow airport, supermodel Naomi Campbell was released from jail on bail.

This isn’t actually the first time that the Naomi was put to jail. In fact, she’s been in and out of it a lot of times that people would think she’s enjoying the feeling to be in prison.

According to reports, Naomi was just too upset when two of her bags were lost when she was on a British Airways flight bound for Los Angeles. British Airways then decided to resolve this by insisting she leave the flight and called the police officer to eject her.

Well I guess we can’t blame Naomi to be too upset for this. Even those who’ve had anger management courses would still be pissed with this kind of service.
