Not long after it was announced that Lindsay Lohan will host an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live, there are reports that she’ll play classy dame Elizabeth Taylor in a Lifetime movie.
“Liz and Dick” will focus on Taylor’s up and down marriages to actor Richard Burton. I wasn’t sure what to think of the project at first but if it’s done properly it could be the probation diva’s comeback role. The 25-year-old is a fine actress, it’s just her private life and brief jail stints that have caused colleagues to call her unprofessional.
As always, there’s a catch. Access Hollywood reports she’ll only be allowed to take part in the movie if she obeys the judge’s orders relating to her 2007 conviction for driving under the influence.
Do you think she’ll make it?
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say Rihanna is pretty damn tired of people picking on her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown. Though the world won’t let go of Chris Brown’s previous sentence for her assault, Rihanna seems to have moved on. Just over a week ago, there were rumors of her and Brown reuniting at the pre-Grammy party followed by speculation that they were recording together.
Turns out those rumors were true, as they released two songs online featuring each other. Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake” and Brown’s new single “Turn Up the Music” are a surprise for some people who thought they severed all ties after the assault. Somehow though, I’m not surprised — it seemed to be coming.
On Monday, Brown wished Rihanna a happy birthday on Twitter. When she asked who wanted a cake he quickly replied “YIKES!!! Cake, cake, cake!” and a link to a remix of the song “Birthday Cake.”
Of course, rumors followed that the two are back together. I understand that the assault happened three years ago and that the media can spin a story from what actually happened. But I also know enough about the situation to know that these new songs leave me a little uneasy.
Brown was convicted for beating Rihanna until she was bleeding and unconscious in a rental car. In most professions, private life and public life are separate but when it comes to entertainment it seems to be inseparable. A lot of girls look up to Rihanna as a strong independent woman, but her flippant and public behaviour seems contradictory to the severity of the assault.
Billboard reports the duo were pressured to keep the song private. Instead, they put it up on Twitter and Rihanna remarked: “They can say whatever, Ima do wahtever… No pain is forever <—– YUP! YOU KNOW THIS.”
Brown tweeted “Let them be mad!!!!! We make music. Don’t like it, don’t listen! Turn up the music remix is coming soon too! Guess who’s on it?”
We’ll let you decide what you think about the songs for yourself.
Birthday Cake
Turn Up the Music
Don’t go to the happiest place on earth (read Disneyland) and get drunk off vodka, or else you’ll have to deal with the protective parents of America.
This drunk jerk was belligerent outside the Tower of Terror ride and tried picking fights with multiple people. It eventually takes a group of guys to push him down while he screams “This isn’t funny anymore!” Was it funny in the first place?
It’s pretty scary considering how many kids are at Disneyland. I’m glad he’s finally put in his place.
It was only a matter of time before Norwegian Recycling, King of Mashups and 90s tunes, put his musical touch on Whitney Houston. The new remix combines three of Houston’s songs with a bunch of current artists, including Adele.
While I like the song, especially Houston’s parts, it doesn’t top “How Six Songs Collide.” I also think Bruno Mars’ “Grenade” comes out of nowhere and doesn’t really fit the beat. What do you think?
Whenever I listen to a mashup I hear fragments of a song that are on the tip of my tongue but I can’t think of the name. Then it bugs me for days. We’ve got you covered though, here’s a list of the songs you’ll find in this mashup:
1) Adele – Fire To The Rain
2) Whitney Houston – How Will I Know
3) Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)
4) Whitney Houston – So Emotional
5) Florence And The Machine – You Got The Love
6) Bruno Mars – Grenade
In my second year of university I went through an obsession with Mad Men, watching every episode back-to-back to the detriment of my school work. Then the Mad Men hiatus came, and like the couple in Portlandia’s Battlestar Galactica episode I went ballistic without my daily fill.
The newly released trailers are teasing me, but at least I can take comfort that the new season starts on March 25. The three promos from AMC are called “Don Is Back,” “Roger Is Back,” and “Mad Men Is Back.”
It looks like there’s tons of style, debauchery, deception and adultery to look forward to. I can’t wait to see how Don deals with his shotgun wedding to French-Canadian Jessica Paré. I actually like his new wife (though I’m a biased Canadian) but I feel the relationship is doomed. What do you think?
Most people tweet at their favorite bands hoping they’ll get a response but acknowledge the reality that they probably won’t. The Fray is an exception. They keep a close watch on the internet and like connecting with their fans. In this casual interview the guys told us about a special digital connection they made over a game of pool. For the record, they’re REALLY good pool players and @jordans_life got his ass kicked.
I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to deal with the death of a friend or family member while the whole world is watching and scrutinizing your every move. That’s why I feel for Bobbi Kristina Brown. After making headlines last week for falling asleep in a bathtub in the same hotel where her mother died, she is back in the spotlight for allegedly getting high after her mother’s funeral.
A couple hours after the funeral the family went to eat at a nearby restaurant but couldn’t find Bobbi. Two sources told The Daily Beast that she was found using drugs and that her family didn’t find her until just before the burial on Sunday morning.
Since then, the media has erupted with questions of whether she has a drug problem. Although her family won’t say she has a problem, it was reported well before Whitney’s death that Bobbi was photographed snorting cocaine.
Her spiral downwards is not uncommon with celebrities so it’s true that her behaviour shouldn’t be treated lightly. However, the girl’s mother just died and constantly berating her in the press isn’t going to make the situation any better. I can understand what lengths someone might go to to neutralize such fresh pain. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not condoning drugs in any way, I’m just saying that she has been through a lot and it’s not nice to kick her when she’s already down.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about the situation. What do you think?
Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen got major kudos a little while ago when Selena Gomez shared an Instagram photo of her boyfriend Justin Bieber grinning while listening to “Call Me Maybe.
Those two celebrities, along with Ashley Tisdale and a few other relevant celebrities, released a homemade video of them dancing to the song. I gotta say, it’s a pretty fun video and it’s nice to see them supporting a fellow artist. We usually see celebs glammed out for the red carpet or made out to be rivals in tabloids so it’s nice to see them hanging out during their downtime, being regular teens.
Last night’s episode of SNL was hosted by Maya Rudolph with performances by Sleigh Bells. The best act of the night was a Beyonce/Jay-Z sketch in which celebrities paid their respects to baby Blue Ivy Carter. Angelina tried to kidnap the Blue Ivy to add to her baby collection and an overly-excited Taylor Swift came through saying nothing at all. My fave visitors were Fred Armisen from Portlandia creeping over Ivy’s crib and giving her a creepy one-sided grin and Justin Timberlake putting himself to sleep strumming his canoe-guitar as Bon Iver.
Another great part of the night was a performance by musical duo Sleigh Bells. They also revealed that Jack White will be a musical guest on March 3 with Lindsay Lohan as host. It’ll be an interesting dynamic and I wonder if Lohan will poke fun at her longtime tabloid headlines.
“Comeback Kid”
My cat at home is not the friendliest furball. He stalks his prey — whether it’s a spider or toy mouse — like he’s a lion in the grassy plains of the Savanna. Even though he’s too proud to admit it, occasionally he needs a little bit of love. He’ll stealthily nudge my leg with his head but if I acknowledge him to quickly he’ll run away and hide.
The cat in this video is completely different. Not only does he want to be pet, he demands it by tapping his owner’s arm.
Kevin Costner gave a heartfelt eulogy at Whitney Houston’s funeral today at New Hope Baptist Church in her hometown, Newark. Costner was nearly brought to tears talking about Houston’s greatness in their 1992 film The Bodyguard: “you sang the whole damn song without a band, you made the picture what it was,” he said. “A lot of leading men could’ve played my part … but you, Whitney, I truly believe you were the only one who could’ve played Rachel Marron at that time. You weren’t just pretty; you were as beautiful as a woman could be. And people didn’t just like you Whitney, they loved you.”
The funeral was an emotional four hours. Although Aretha Franklin was too ill to attend, Stevie Wonder performed a reworked “Ribbon in the Sky.”

If Batman had a night out in Toronto he’d be able to crack all kinds of mysteries. But opening an original, non-spicy, beef jerky stick might be a little tough for him. This seems to be the case when Batman went on the prowl for drugs in Toronto yesterday, scouring the subways, coffee shops and streets in his pursuit.
Batman meets tons of people on his adventure, including legitimate policemen who he insists on ticketing and a random streeter who takes him out to party. His real name is Alex Brovedani, and he’s a stand-up comedian who grew up in Woodbridge, Ontario. He first wore batman’s cape on Halloween and has since taken to the streets with his deep, throaty voice.
Brovedani does a perfect impersonation, though his slow run gives him away. If you, like me, are totally impressed by Batman you can follow him at @TorontoBatman.
Okay, here’s your new game for the night. When you go out with your friends, count how many times these doozies come out. These two episode of The Flip Side shows what happens when men and women switch roles in everyday life.
The first episode, aptly called “Bar” features women picking up men by pinching their hineys and creating a barricade around their prey on the dance floor. “Screw you’re girlfriend, give me five minutes in the parking lot” or “those are amazing jeans, they would look so much better on my bedroom floor” are the pick-up lines of choice.
It gets even better with episode two, called “Dating.” Men tap into their emotional side, saying “I love you” a little too soon and spending a Friday night crying over sappy photos. “I want you to go to a Monster Truck Ralley and get run over by a truck somehow,” is a voicemail one guy leaves for his girlfriend when she doesn’t call him back.
I watched the episode with my guy friend and we agree they’re embarrassingly stereotypical but hilarious because they’re true. Have you heard these lines before?
Nothing starts our weekends off better than cute baby and animal videos. This five month old learns teething techniques from his two puggles, who happily nosh on their bones. The baby looks pretty jealous of the little guys and decides to make one of his own toys chewable.
Today Brittany discusses the evolution of Skrillex, old grannies dancing and inter-office babies.
It’s pretty hard to make out in this video, but a girl is claiming Justin Bieber said “fuck you” to her. Bieber spent Valentine’s Day at Disneyland with his girlfriend Selena Gomez and his family.
In the video, the teenager is hanging out with her friends and shouts to him “I follow you on Twitter” just before he enters the tunnel on a ride. It sounds like the teen heart throb responds with “fuck you” and he supposedly flipped his middle finger.
If it’s true, I understand why he would get angry. Would you really want a bunch of people following you around an amusement park during your downtime? Admittedly, it does sound like his voice but the video is such bad quality we’re not sure if it’s actually him. What do you think?
Listen to an elderly gentleman tell us kids all about Paul McCartney. Who is Paul McCartney you ask? Apparently, he was old, totally random and not as good as Lil B from The Pack. Well, that’s according to The History Channel and Twitter.
Funny or Die put together a hypothetical bio of The Beatles star, called “Who the Fuck is Paul McCartney?” It demonstrates how history can be distorted over time when you take fragments of a person’s career and try to link them together. Plus it shows a generation lapse, as many young people did not know who Paul McCartney was at the recent Grammys.
This has got to be one of the coolest grandmother’s ever. Earlier in the year we saw her dancing to LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” and now she pays tribute to Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.” Her grandson Adam eventually joins the dance but it’s her moon walking, twists and turns that keep us watching.
So cute! The best part is, it was all her idea. I definitely hope I’m still shaking my hips like this at 90.
If I could turn every song into a good acoustic version, I would. “Acoustic that please,” can be my new catch phrase.
Today Jessie J acoustified Rihanna’s “We Found Love” for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. The live version really showcases her pipes and puts a new spin on the song. I won’t say I like it better than the original, but it’s a fresh take on a song I’ve heard a little too much of lately. The singer also performed an acoustic version of her song “Domino,” but if you have to catch one out of the two, I’d definitely give this one a go.
