If you like celebrities, reality shows, and cringing with sympathy-embarassment, you’ll probably love the new show “Celebrity Duets” set to air on Fox this fall. If not, stay far, far away.

According to MSN News, the new show will pair celebrities with professional pop singers, and they’ll compete in duets in front of a panel of judges (and most likely a live audience.)

So far, confirmed pop singers who will be participating in this show include Chaka Khan, Clint Black, Michael Bolton, Cyndi Lauper, Macy Gray, Patti LaBelle, Kenny Loggins, Randy Travis and Aaron Neville. The celebrity participants have yet to be announced.

I will be watching this show on three conditions:

1. They get celebrities that we’ve actually heard of, and not some unknown people who are trying to jump start their acting career by being on the show.
2. The judges aren’t over-the-top dramatic in their criticism.
3. When a celebrity sounds completely tonedeaf terrible, they don’t edit it out.

The series premier will be August 29th, and the rest of the schedule is available on Fox.com

Janet Jackson, whose upcoming album 20 Years Old is slated for release September 26, has apparently changed her mind about children.

“I would love to have kids,” Jackson, 40, reported on Friday during an Atlanta news conference. Apparently, her relationship with producer boyfriend Jermaine Dupri has prompted her to rethink her ideas about raising children.

“I never thought I would ever want any, but being with Jermaine really changed my mind on all that,” Jackson said. “I wouldn’t mind adopting.”

While Jackson’s first two marriages failed, she seems confident about her relationship with Dupri. “I’ve always wanted to find love. Now that I found love, I’m in a different space,” Jackson professes.

While the pop star seems to have a family-friendly attitude about her now, her upcoming album still has the same sexually-charged lyrics you can find on her previous work.

“I enjoy talking about it, it shouldn’t be any different than before.” Well, I think we know where Janet stands!

The longtime business manager of Jack Warden announced he died at the age of 85 earlier this week.

Best known for his roles alongside Warren Beatty in Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait, Oscar nominated Jack Warden will be sorely missed.

He starred in dozens of films, including All the President’s Men with Robert Redford. He also won an Emmy for the 1980′s television series Crazy Like a Fox. He passed away sometime Wednesday, in New York.

Warden’s breakthrough role came with 1957′s Twelve Angry Men. His manager reported that the actor, who retired several years ago, had been suffering through various medical problems for awhile now.

While taping yesterday’s version of “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” a woman apparently leapt from the audience and tried to approach actor (and guest on the show) Colin Farrell in what was originally thought to be part of one of the show’s skits.

But it wasn’t a skit. In fact, it turns out that the woman had recently attempted to sue Farrell in small-claims court, claiming that he stalked her with inappropriate calls and text messages.

Security removed the woman from the building but not before she got into a brief yelling match with Farrell, which according to an audience member, went something like this:

Woman-who-leapt-at-Colin Farell: “I’ll see you in court!”
Colin Farell: “You’re insane!”

Note: Throwing yourself at a person while they’re on a national talk show and needing to be escorted out by security is generally not a great way to prove that person is stalking you.

On August 20th, Kevin Federline will get the chance to show his music to the world. He will be at the Teen Choice Awards where he will close the ceremony with his single “Lose Control” from the impending album Playing with Fire.

Federline, an aspiring rapper and husband to Britney Spears, says the audience will be “shocked” by his performance. “It’s been building up for a long time… so I decided to just get out there and jump on stage,” he says.

Britney Spears will reportedly accompany her husband to the event provided she is feeling well enough. They’ve also been collaborating on a duet in the studio in recent months.

“I want to prove myself as an artist, as a rapper, and as a human being in society who goes through everything everybody else goes through,” Federline reported.
