Her music is one thing–the spectacle of it is something else entirely…
- A Columbia University student has sued Lindsay Lohan for ten thousand dollars, claiming LiLo took her mink coat at a club they both attended in January and then returned it three weeks later smelling of cigarettes and liquor.

This may very well lead to more episodes featuring her next season–and a new way for K-Fed to experience career humiliation…
- Taylor Swift will be the spokesperson for a new line of jeans sold at Wal-Mart called L.E.I., which stands for Life, Energy, Intelligence. Add those to the doll they sell in her likeness, and Taylor is jazzed that fans can now find her in the toy, fashion and music departments…
- Is reality TV is starting to fade in popularity? Survivor’s finale Sunday failed to make the Top Ten and American Idol–still the most popular show on TV–has suffered a steady decline in viewers this season. Could it be that hype–the fuel that makes reality programming go–has finally jumped the shark?

- Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said recently that 15-year-old Miley Cyrus–recently featured in a suggestive Vanity Fair photo shoot –would be, "welcomed in [Playboy] magazine" and the outcry over her photos shows, "how schizophrenic America is about sexuality."

- Leona Lewis’ huge hit Bleeding Love has set another chart record–it’s been #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for four consecutive weeks, something no British solo female artist has ever done. For Lenora, there’s no bleeding, but plenty of love–at least from her accountant…
- Justin Timberlake is teaming with MTV to produce a reality game show called The Phone–where 2 contestants will answer cell phones at opposite ends of a big city, and an unseen guide will direct them through a "race against time" for a big cash prize. This sounds suspiciously like my teenager’s last shopping trip…

- Kevin Federline’s attorney has taken exception to reports about the frivolous way his client spends money and dispenses gratuities, saying a false picture of K-Fed is being painted in the "court of public opinion".
