First there was “Strange Love.” Then Vh1 single-handedly set the Women’s Lib Movement back thirty years with a sixty minute long catfight adeptly dubbed “Flava of Love.” And on Monday, January 8th, the once respectful music network will roll out the plastic runner for the third television installment spawned from the “Surreal” success of former Public Enemy hype man/resident yuck mouth, Flava Flav in the form of “I Love New York.”
In commemoration of what dollars to donuts says will be a cable television stink bomb, VH1 is already running the first episode of the series on it’s website. And if you were thinking off checking it out, don’t bother, here’s the rundown: Twenty guys fight to impress a Sister Patterson, New York’s mother, who really should get back on her meds and a gay Puerto Rican with a penchant for pink named Chamo for a chance at love with America’s Newest Breast Implant Patient and the woman at the center of “Spitgate” from Season One of “Flava of Love.”

People Magazine is reporting that although both Britney Spears and Kevin Federline filed for sole custody of their sons, Sean and Jayden, they’ve come to an agreement. Brit gets to take the boys to Miami until January 11th, as long as she keeps Kevin updated on her whereabouts. Once she gets back, from the 12th until the 31st, Dad gets to visit his kids three times a week for four hours at his ex’s home.
The arrangement is only settled for January so it could all change for February. Really, who wants to be the judge making decisions on custody arrangements with this family? With Britney’s stupid driving antics last year, her mysterious fainting-no-she-didn’t-faint-she-was-just-TIRED spell, and her coochie being splashed all over the tabloids compared to K-Fed’s multiple fathering duties elsewhere and his general sleaze factor, I don’t know what I would decide. I’d probably throw my hands up in the air and ask Angelina Jolie or Madonna to adopt the Spears-Federline boys and call it a day.
This perky young girl can’t quite keep herself out of the limelight, no matter what she does. Late last year we had several posts about her – and they weren’t really all that flattering. Remember the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and all that? Well at the start of the New Year, the 20-year old Hollywood star was propelled into the front pages of entertainment tabloids once again. She complained of not feeling well so she had to be brought to the doctor. After examining her, her doctors recommended that she undergo surgery to have her appendix taken out.
Now of course it isn’t really a big deal. Appendectomy is a routine operation. Then again, this is Lindsay Lohan and we are all ears when it comes to her comings and goings. The good news is that the operation went on without any hitches and she is well on her way to recovery.
That is more than we can say about Lindsay’s life last year, though! She had had several health issues in 2006, if any of you can remember. In September she slipped at a studio in New York and fractured her wrist. Earlier in the year she was once again seen in the tabloids a lot because of exhaustion and dehydration. Then there is the car accident in November. How about the bruises she suffered from learning how to dance around a pole, which she suffered in late December as well?
I don’t know about you, but I do not envy her about these things. Here’s to a safer and healthier year for Lindsay Lohan!
Celine Dion has always been one of the most admired and respected divas in the world of entertainment. From her humble beginnings to the pinnacle of her career, and even more so when she became a wife and mother, people cannot help but hold her in high esteem. With her albums selling record numbers and shows attracting masses of people, her talent is undeniable.
Yet all good things must come to an end, as they say. For almost 5 years now, Celine Dion has had a Las Vegas concert extravaganza. Yet as the New Year dawns, it has been announced that this will be the last year for this production. Traditionally held at the Caesars Palace, the staff has outlined major changes in the production, which will ultimately lead to the closing of the whole thing by the end of 2007 – December 15, to be exact.
For the past 5 years that her show has been running, about 2.5 million people have come and gone to watch the diva perform live. The production is so special that they built and designed the Colosseum, the theater where the show is held regularly. I don’t know about you, but even if I have never been to one of the countless shows, I feel sad about it closing down. Perhaps, that is all the more reason to feel sad – I will never be able to see it now. Yet there is still a year ahead for those of you who wish to go see Celine Dion. Tickets will be sold starting March 1 so grab your chance now.
She just can’t seem to get out of the limelight, whatever she does, can she? With the start of the New Year, you would think that Britney Spears would have some resolutions that would reflect her statements late last year that she has gone a bit overboard and that she is trying to settle down a bit. Yet right at the start of 2007, she made the entertainment headlines once again.
Britney apparently fell asleep in a Las Vegas night club early Monday morning. She was there to lead the New Year countdown. In keeping with her status as a mother, though, Britney had her two children with her – Jayden James who is 3 months old and Sean Preston who is 1 year old. Around 1 in the morning, though, Britney felt really exhausted and fell asleep. That is according to her manager, Larry Rudolph.
That wasn’t what was released in the gossip columns the next day, however. In fact, speculation was rife that she was drunk and passed out. Britney’s party vehemently denies this rumor and insists that she was just physically tired and needed a snooze. She didn’t even seek medical attention, they say.
I say, give the girl a break. Maybe she did pass out. Then again, it was New Year’s Eve for goodness’ sake! She had the right – as much as anyone of us – to get a bit tipsy to celebrate the coming of the New Year, hadn’t she? If she did merely fall asleep, though, then maybe it’s time for her to take a break and get away from all the bad publicity that she has been getting for the past month. Mind you, I am not really a Britney fan. Just speaking my mind.
