  • Fall Out Boy was forced to officially abandon their quest to set a world’s record by performing on all 7 continents within a year when bad weather in Antarctica made it impossible for them to fly there for a concert.  So it’s true–Pete Wentz is truly not all-powerful…
  • Taylor Swift may be a big star, but she still has time for her MySpace friends, saying she personally uploads pictures, checks comments, and writes the content on her page.  I personally think it’s just the way to stay a big star…
  • Madonna told a radio interview that she doesn’t think she can ever sing her early hits like Holiday or Like A Virgin again unless, as she said, "somebody paid me, like, 30 million dollars or something".  She may have found religion and turned into a real mom, but she’s still our Material Girl
  • The fallout continues over a Los Angeles Times article that falsely suggested Sean "Diddy" Combs had advance knowledge of the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, as the apology by the paper for basing the piece on what turned out to be fake FBI documents has not satisfied Diddy’s attorney.  He wants one of two things–a fat check or an even fatter spread in their weekend edition…
  • Forbes has ranked the hottest new recording stars based on what the financial magazine is known for–money, with Sean Kingston, Colbie Caillat, Jordin Sparks and OneRepublic in their Top Ten for huge CD and download sales.  Idol winner Taylor Hicks not only didn’t make the list, he couldn’t even get editors to return his calls…
  • Plans for an X-Files movie sequel are in the works, featuring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in their original roles of agents Mulder and Scully.  The truth may be out there, but if the show’s "black helicopter" fan base isn’t, this thing won’t make it past the first popcorn refill at the multiplex…

  • Ratings for CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother got great ratings Monday night–likely due to Britney Spears’ guest-starring role on the show. Add to this the reports that she is no longer the hot paparazzi target she once was and you have to conclude that it finally must be nice to have a parent looking out for you who actually wants to protect you…
  • Fall Out Boy’s attempt to perform on all 7 continents within a year was stymied yesterday when bad weather forced cancellation of all flights to Antarctica.  They say they want to wait another day to see if they can make the trip from Chile, only they may end up having to impersonate some penguins to get there…
  • Justin Timberlake is starring in the upcoming film The Open Road along with a couple of recent cast additons–veteran character actor Harry Dean Stanton and country singer Lyle Lovett, a favorite of the late legendary director Robert Altman.  Lucky for JT–this way he won’t be the only one in the movie who’s actually been in a movie…
  • It’s an American Idol world–at least on TV–as it again had the two most-watched shows last week.  If this keeps up, Simon’s ego will be so immense that Paris Hilton will seem modest by comparison…
  • A woman from Japan will pay $52,000 to attend the premiere of the Sex And The City movie and get a meet and greet with star Kristen Davis, with the auction proceeds going to the international relief and development organization Oxfam.  The winner also gets a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes, so that price tag is really kind of a bargain…
  • Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis believes a federal judge is out to get him because of the way Francis has been treated by the judge in civil suits brought against him.  I certainly hope this isn’t true, because Americans have a right to a fair trial–no matter how perverted, sleazy and disgusting they are…

  • Fall Out Boy will make history when it performs March 25 for a group of research scientists in Antarctica–they’ll become the only band to perform on all seven continents of the world in less than a years’ time.  Exactly how many frequent-flyer miles is that exactly?
  • Britney Spears’ "friend" and one-time manager Sam Lufti, who’s been ordered to legally keep his distance from her, is officially protesting the court commissioner presiding over Brit’s conservatorship case.  Isn’t that like a wolf complaining to a rancher about the fence keeping him away from the sheep?
  • An Australian man who impersonated Richie Sambora will go to prison for swindling banks there out of $25 millions in fraudulent loans.  Bad luck for this bloke if his cellmate is a big Bon Jovi fan…
  • American Idol again dominated TV ratings last week with both shows grabbing the top 2 spots, and reality TV holding 8 of the top 10 positions.  The network suits and their bean-counters are laughing all the way to the bank–that once held their writers’ money…
  • A new CBS reality series called Secret Talents Of The Stars will showcase the heretofore unknown abilities of D-list celebrites like George Takei of Star Trek fame, Malcom-Jamal Warner from The Cosby Show, Danny Bonaduce and Ben Stein.  I think they all have the same skill–the ability to still find themselves on TV…
  • Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the infamous "Kristen" linked to former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, was offered a million dollars to appear in the Girls Gone Wild tour and magazine–until the staff there discovered they already had plenty of wild and naked video of her from 5 years ago.  Does this mean she won’t be able to exploit her degrading and illegal behavior into a shameless and degrading payday–isn’t that un-American?

  • Britney Spears is seeing her children again, now that a visitation agreement was worked out with Kevin Federline–she’s had three visits with them the past week.  It’s wonderful–they’re back to calling her "Mommy" instead of "that no-underpants lady"…
  • NBC’s much-ballyhooed Internet seriess Quarterlife couldn’t even manage that–it’s been yanked from the schedule after just one episode.  You know you’re in trouble when there’s a bigger audience on the all-pottery channel…
  • Fall Out Boy has been hinting about a "special guest guitarist" featured on a cover of Michael Jackson’s Beat It included on their new live DVD out April 8, and gossip says that John Mayer’s the one who’ll do his own version of Eddie Van Halen–the axe-slinger on Jacko’s original version…
  • Taylor Swift is perfectly happy to be still living with her parents and family in Nashville, saying that she’s in no hurry to grow up, and that "I like watching my brother grow up when I can…I want to be there and witness whatever normalcy I can".  As we know all too well, "normal celebrity" is now an unfortunate oxymoron…
  • ABC has moved to renew five of its reality series:  Dancing With The Stars, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Supernanny, Wife Swap and America’s Funniest Home Videos.  There’s a lot of crying during these shows–mostly from displaced writers…
  • Nicole Ritchie has reportedly been offered the role of Roxie Hart in the current Broadway run of Chicago.  I had no idea Roxie was an anorexic, no-talent twit…

  • Amy Winehouse in rehab?  Yes, yes, yes–her record company announced in a statement that "she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction and prepare for her planned appearance at the Grammy Awards."  She’s got about as much a chance of showing up as the writers do…
  • Portfolio magazine reports that Britney Spears could be her own economic stimulus package–I guess her various antics that get photographed and published, along with money she makes for record companies, tour promoters and products she markets adds up to $110-120 million.  Who knew that behaving like a skank could save America from a recession?
  • Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz claims that the new hit horror movie Cloverfield was based on an album by the band called Infinity On High.  I’m inclined to believe that it’s Pete who’s high on infinity–or something else…
  • Billboard magazine reports that Rihanna has scored seven Top 10 hits the past two years–more than Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, or anyone.  She recently commented on fans sobbing with joy when they meet her–it’s now just as likely to be execs from her record company…
  • Wal-Mart and iTunes are teaming up to release a series of CD’s featuring American Idol washouts, with an album including three songs each from Jon Peter Lewis, Ryan Starr, AJ Tabaldo and Stevie Scott out February 5, and another with Alaina Alexander, Rudy Cardenas, Patrick Hall and Gedeon McKinney coming March 4.  How ironic is it that either one of these CD’s will probably outsell Taylor Hicks?
  • The SAG Awards Sunday night on TNT and TBS will turn out to be the first awards show traditionally broadcast this year, since the writer’s union will permit their members to work on it and actors will be able to attend without crossing a picket line.  And since there will also be a red carpet, Joan Rivers can get off unemployment…
