She just can’t seem to get enough attention these days! Unfortunately, it’s bad attention that’s she is getting. The New York Dog and The Hollywood Dog magazines award this title every year to public figures. Editor Hilary O’Hagan states that there was no question about this year’s winner.

So what was the reason behind Britney’s “award”? Prior to her marriage to Kevin Federline (who is to be her ex-husband pretty soon, as we all know), Britney used to have 3 Chihuahuas. You know, those cute tiny dogs that cannot seem to stop yapping? As a bachelorette, Britney used to go around everywhere with those dogs of her. She actually never went anywhere without at least one of them cradled in her arms. So what happened? Enter Kevin Federline and her children. The result? The dogs vanished into thin air.

I wouldn’t think that was such a bad choice – family for dogs. Don’t get me wrong I love dogs. But maybe she just didn’t have time for the puppies anymore? After all, she only has two hands – and two arms for that matter. How can anyone expect her to lug around three Chihuahuas and her baby at the same time? She had enough flak coming because of how she “mishandled” her baby in her car, remember?

In any case, she got the award, which ironically (or maybe portentously?), belonged to her pal Paris Hilton last year. On a happier note, Oprah Winfrey won the best dog owner award because of her loving care of her five dogs.

They may seem like a good match but if I were you, I would not hold my breath just yet. Entertainment sections of papers both online and offline have featured these two in a lip lock this weekend. Catchy headlines and even more attention grabbing photos prove to be nothing more than teasers when you proceed to read the write up.

As it turns out, these two stars are paired with each other in their new movie The Accidental husband. Uma has always been considered as one of the sexiest women in Hollywood but her recent Kill Bill movies have portrayed her more as a tough chick than a sex goddess. Yet her role in this new movie is nothing near her kick ass assassin role in the Kill Bill series. Whereas she literally killed in those movies, she’ll kill you with funny antics and light romance in The Accidental Husband.

Of course, what is a leading lady without a leading man? Colin Firth is known to many as Bridget Jones’ knight in shining armor. He also played Darcy in BBC’s version of Pride and Prejudice. Though he has captured countless hearts, he still finds it a mystery why women simply fall in love with him. Nonetheless, he will be seen in 7 movies in the coming year. That should be more than enough to satisfy his fans. As for Uma and him being a couple? Let’s just say that their romance is more of an onscreen thing. For now, that is.

Strange title, I know, but turmoil and arrest is exactly what’s been going on in Nicole Richie’s life for the moment. Richie was, as most already know, arrested for driving the wrong way last Monday. She failed the sobriety test and admitted to taking Vicodin which promptly lead to her going to jail. Richie says though that she took Vicodin because she had severe menstrual cramps and not for any other reason. She was released the same day after paying her bail of US$ 15,000.

Richie claims that she is ready to face whatever the consequences are for her bad behavior. She admits responsibility and says that she is prepared to address any issues that arise because of it.

The fact that Nicole Richie is one of the icon girls adds to yet another in the long list of misdemeanors Hollywood girl stars have been increasingly committing lately. The Richie incident most likely alarms parents who know that Nicole Richie is one of the Hollywood stars popular with young girls (and boys too) nowadays. Whatever image she does portray will of course affect the girls perception and behavior so that though, through her own choice or not, Nicole Richie and other Hollywood stars serve as role models for young girls.

The truth though is that the Richie incident should not be seen by parents as something that will necessarily influence their children badly. Quite frankly, Nicole Richie and the other Holywood Stars look like complete idiots and fools when they get in trouble like this. If the topic is discussed properly at home and the right perspective is given, incidents like this could even serve as good lessons for the sorts of behavior to avoid.

Is it just me or do the commercials for Season 6 of American Idol starting in January of 2007 just totally suck. In the previous 5 seasons of Idol, the commercials actually did their job at making me want to watch. But so far, the American Idol commercials have been total duds.

Or am I missing something? Seriously. I’d love to know that I’m wrong, but so far, the commercials I’ve seen have shown people singing that are totally mediocre. Not great. Not terrible. In other words, I’m not sure what the point of showing them has been? They hit some notes and miss some notes. Ok. Big deal. That’s normal. I want to see some clips of some of the real talent and also some clips of the total losers who should know better than compete in a singing competition.

Let’s think about it a little. Why do we watch American Idol? Well, because we love to hate the terrible singers and because we love to help pick out the hidden talent. Then of course there are the cinderella stories.

But so far, the American Idol commercials for season 6, which begins in only a month, have been lifeless and hapless, giving me very little to look forward to.

What are you thoughts?

Ten years after her tragic death, the most loved Princess of all time has not been forgotten. To commemorate her life, her two sons Princes William and Harry have organized a concert. It will be held on July 1st at the Wembley Stadium in London. According to a spokesperson for the princes, the 22,500 tickets that were released on December 13 were sold out in no more than 20 minutes! If that isn’t an indication of how well-loved this princess was, I don’t know what is! Well, actually, I think that the fact that e-bay has disallowed the resale of tickets on their site as a sign of respect for the Princess might run a close second!

Acts to perform during the concert of course include Sir Elton John. Most anyone will remember that he sang “Candle in the Wind” during Princess Di’s funeral. When she was alive, the princess repeatedly hailed Duran Duran as her favorite band and it is just fitting that they be present at the gig too. Other notables are Andrew Lloyd Webber and the English National Ballet.

This mother would have been so proud of her boys had she been alive to witness such an event. The two princes even went as far as trying to have the family put up a solid front for the memorial services. They stated repeatedly that they want both sides of the family to be present. Whether or not they actually do this, the fact remains that there are still countless people out there clamoring for tickets. The official site says that there might be more coming out next year. Keep your fingers crossed.
