Sneak Peak of Upcoming ‘Kourtney and Kim Take New York’ Season

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 25th, 2011

In a scene on the upcoming season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Kim is packing her bands with her new hubby Kris. Before it all went downhill, the two were very affectionate together, which is eerie to watch now, since they are now anything but. Maybe it’s all caused by the comment Kris made when trying to pick up his new bride. “You must have ate a lot of wedding cake!”

It’s uncomfortable to watch the new season of the show, especially when Kris playfully  says things like “You’re my wife now! It’s gonna take a lot to get rid of me.” By a lot, he means 72 days.

Watch the awkward clip over at US Magazine.

Gossip Cop also posted a sneak peak of the upcoming Kardashian show. In this clip, Kim addresses her fallout with her new husband. Looks like the divorce will indeed be mentioned on the show. I, personally, was under the impression that Kris would just disappear without ever being acknowledged.

Kim is seen crying and telling her sister, “he fell in love with me and I fell in love with him, and now my feelings have changed… I failed at this.”

Watch the video below. Catch the new season of Kim’s show this Sunday night on E!

Kelly Clarkson Performs on X Factor

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 24th, 2011

During the live elimination episode of The X Factor last night, Kelly Clarkson graced the stage to perform her new single “What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger)”.

While her performance at the recent American Music Awards fell a little flat, she redeems herself in terms of outfit choice and stage presence. The X Factor appearance was a sure light show, from psychedelic images to flashing cartoons.

Just a day before she went on stage, she wrote on her WhoSay page about releasing a special album for iTunes soon.

“We also put a Christmas song on there as well. I can’t wait to make a Christmas album. It was such a tease :) ,” she wrote.

WIth just about everyone putting forward a holiday album or Christmas video, I won’t hold it against Kelly if she wants to jump on the bandwagon. Whatever stuffs her stockings, right?

Check out the video of her awesome performance posted below.

Taylor Swift On Being A Role Model

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 18th, 2011

She may have platinum records and tons of awards on her fireplace mantel, but Taylor Swift also had a good head on her shoulders.

Catch her exclusive interview with Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes this Sunday at 7 p.m. EST.

In this video clip, Taylor talks about being a role model and always keeping her fans in mind when going about her day.

“Every singer out there with songs on the radio is raising the next generation, so make your words count,” Taylor says.

The interview is surely going to be a personal one for Taylor. Judging by this teaser, she sounds extremely passionate and articulate. You don’t find that many young stars with such qualities, anymore. So, this will really be an interesting interview to watch.

Kris Jenner Apologizes for Racist Comment

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 11th, 2011

We posted a video a while ago of Kris Jenner (Kim Kardashian’s mom) using a derogatory slur on national television.

While talking to Tara Spencer on Good Morning America, Kris used the term “Indian giver” when asked if her daughter will return her engagement ring since she divorced her husband of 72 days.

Perez Hilton reports lots of people have called and wrote in, expressing their disgust with Kris’ comment, which is understandable. Knowing what an attention-hungry woman Kris is and knowing how very little brain cells she has, of course she wouldn’t think before speaking. This isn’t so surprising. Kris is oen of those “celebrities” that aren’t properly educated in anything other than how to put on smokey eye make-up. All that hairspray is getting to her, I think.

Posted on Perez’s site is an apology Kris Jenner wrote to her publicist, Tara J. Ryan. In it Kris wrote:

“I am truly sorry if I offended anyone with something I said and I certainly had no intention of hurting or offending anyone…I was asked a question on the spot and because of my dry sarcastic personality I was apparently trying to find a bit of levity in a really tough situation. I was on a book tour in [New York City] that was booked several months ago and never expected to be thrust into the media storm that occurred but nevertheless would do anything for my kids. obviously not an ideal situation and I’m sorry that careless remark came out of my mouth.”

Kris went on to say how growing up in the ’60s, she would hear the term “indian giver” thrown around all the time. Excuses, excuses! She continues to make excuses about how she actually LOVES Indians!

“Kourtney loves fashion and I assure you its a compliment that she is inspired by the indian community and the amazing native style…my grandson wears moccasins almost every day because he likes the way they look.”

Wow, I didn’t know you liked Moccasins! By all means, please make fun of the native community. Just as long as you buy our products! For now, Kris Jenner’s apology doesn’t mean anything until she goes back on national television on her hands and knees begging for forgiveness.

Lady Gaga Performs New Song ‘Marry the Night’

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 10th, 2011

After her week-long stint in India, Lady Gaga joined Justin Bieber, Gwyneth Paltrow and a bevy of other A-listers at the Bambi Awards in Germany.

Not only did she win for Best International Pop Artist, she also gave an outstanding performance of her newest single, “Marry the Night”.

The coolest thing about her aesthetic performance was the piano attached to a black convertible. The lady in black rose up from her instrument mid-song, so fans could see her gigantic, gothic dress. Unlike other televised performances, Lady Gaga didn’t rely on heavy explosions, explicit dancing or controversial images to put on a good show. Her voice was flawless and the set design was subtly beautiful.

Check out her performance below.

The Muppets Should Host the 2012 Oscars

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 10th, 2011

The biggest night in L.A is just a few months away. The red carpet will roll out, and golden statues will tower over the flashing cameras as the Oscars unfold.

Elaborately stunning gowns, tasteful and otherwise, shall parade across our televisions and live streams.  But who is the host? Earlier this week, film director Brett Ratner resigned as the producer. He called it quits after making some anti-gay remarks in the media. A day later, Eddie Murphy closed up shop as well. But all is not lost! A replacement has been found for the producer in Brian Grazer, who has produced the shows “24” and “Arrested Development”.

As far as hosting goes, a frog and a few of his pals are gaining momentum.

The Twitterverse is a buzz with hashtagging of the Henson muppet creations. Even Perez Hilton is showing some muppet love when he tweeted:  “@RealBrianGrazer #Muppet Oscars.”

There’s even a MuppetOscars2012 Twitter account set up, with over 10,000 followers.  The Facebook support for The Muppets Should Host the 2012 Oscars has rallied over 25,000 ‘likes’. It’s no surprise this has come up. A ten year hiatus from the small screen has left fans hungering for more than just their upcoming film, The Muppets, out on November 23rd.

They’ve got some serious competition to deal with, from past Oscar hots like Billy Crystal or Steve Carell, who have really upped the ante. Who knows, maybe the rainbow connection will arrive on the most glamorous of nights.

The Maury Show Wants Justin Bieber’s Paternity Test

Posted by @jordans_life on November 10th, 2011

It’s official, last night reports started surfacing that Maury is officially courting Justin Bieber for what could be the show’s most watched episode ever.

According to the Huffington Post, producers of The Maury Show wants to broadcast the results of the Yeater – Bieber paternity test on national television.  A spokesperson for the show commented, saying ”we are actively pursuing this story.”

Amy Rosenblum, the former executive producer of the show also thinks it could be a huge money maker.

“This would be a huge TV event … When I brought the DNA test to TV for the first time on Maury, I had no idea it would still be as popular today as it was then. Maury is trusted by millions of viewers and if Maury told Justin ‘You are not the father,’ everyone would believe it,” she told the Post.

Maury is infamous for his paternity tests and there is no better place to hear those magic five words, “You ARE NOT the father!”

I think we all saw this coming. This story is a candidate for andPOP’s least shocking post ever. However, if it does happen, I can’t wait to see Justin dance when he gets the results. Even better, Usher could join him and they can glide across the stage together as Mariah storms off to accuse one of the 10,000 other possible fathers.

Lady Gaga to Host Thanksgiving Special on TV

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 7th, 2011

For all you Americans, come November 24 you’ll have one Very Gaga Thanksgiving.

The flamboyant singer will host a 90 minute Thanksgiving special airing on ABC. Do you think one of her dozens of costume changes includes a roasted turkey?

The singer will be interviewed by veteran anchor Katie Couric and will also perform eight songs, including her new single Marry the Night, infront of a small audience, MTV reports.  A world renowned chef will also appear on the show to share holiday recipes. It seems like this television special will have something for everybody.

Kris Jenner Uses The Slur “Indian Giver” on National TV

Posted by @jordans_life on November 3rd, 2011

Grandma Kardashian owes America an apology. Today on Good Morning America, Kris Jenner was doing her usual rounds (trying to exploit her daughters for more money) and decided she was going to comment on Kim’s divorce.

There was nothing really unusual about her comments until she addressed the matter of the 20 carat ring. Kris was adamant that Kim should keep the ring and emphasized her point with a horribly offensive statement:

“I hate an Indian giver. It’s a gift. You keep a gift.”

First of all, I don’t care how ‘old’ you are, but being ancient (and senile) doesn’t give you a license to be ignorant. In addition, who still talks like that?! Everyone knows that phrase has been stricken from the world’s vernacular lexicon and she definitely should know better.

For the record, This “mother” must really love her daughter. And nothing says “I love you” like going on national television to sell out your child while they’re going through a divorce. It must have made Kim especially proud to hear her mom using outdated racist terminology.

Kris Jenner should probably look into correcting this situation immediately. Yet again the Kardashians have proven that they may be one of the richest families in show business but they certainly are not the classiest.

Cher Sends Angry Tweets

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 26th, 2011

Another star that’s spending too much time chattin’ bull on Twitter is living legend Cher.

Her transgendered son Chaz Bono was eliminated on Dancing With the Stars last night and Cher has some mean words to say on Twitter.

She tweeted: “Congratulations Chaz I’m SO PROUD OF U ! This was YOUR Quest & u Followed your Star but your mom “could cut a bitch!….

Thank u Carrie Ann 4 your Gentility u r beautiful inside & out! To the Gentleman? I didn’t know who u were b4 which I guess is a blessing!

Going Home is Fine but why insult him b4 he Goes! Maybe Rudeness & Flapping Arms take the place of TALENT ! As for the Older Gentleman ….every Show Needs A Grumpy Old Man!”

If I were Bruno (the grumpy old judge on the show who called Chaz a “little penguin”) I would apologize immediately. I’m trying to picture Cher “cutting a bitch” and it doesn’t look pretty!

Selena Gomez Gets Beat Up On South Park

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 21st, 2011

It’s true that Justin and Selena do everything together, even getting beaten up in cartoon form on South Park.

Selena appeared on this week’s episode of South Park being punched around and hit in the head with a cookie tray. This follows Justin’s appearance on the show last season that features his head exploding while performing on stage. Gross!

Selena’s cameo on the notoriously inappropriate show leaves a sour taste in one’s mouth. Not too long ago, she was receiving death threats by a 46-year-old man, the Huffington reports.

Now, no one ever expects the creators of South Park to ever be classy or respecting of real life events surrounding celebrities. The creators have been torturing celebrities for years! Yes, the clip made me laugh for a moment but when you realize what Selena’s dealing with in real life the joke isn’t funny any more. I wouldn’t be surprised if Selena Gomez’ team tried to find a way to bring the show down.

Watch the South Park clip on YouTube.

Kelly Clarkson Wants to Appear on Parks and Recreation

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 19th, 2011

 

We all know singers crossover on to television at one point or another.

Kelly Clarkson, of American Idol fame, has been seen and heard everywhere lately to promote her new album Stronger. The other day the Idol champ took to her blog to mention her desire to appear on the NBC hit sitcom Parks & Recreation.

“It’s hilarious! I am a bad actress but maybe I could play a bad actress! I would nail that! I need to be in a scene with Ron Swanson. I love all of them but the trucker stache gets me every time,” she wrote.

The first time  Kelly Clarkson got bit by the acting bug was in 2003 when her and Idol runner-up Justin whats-his-face-no-one-really-cared-about-him starred in the summer flop From Justin To Kelly. That movie tanked at the box office faster than Lindsay Lohan at a coke buffet. But now, it seems Kelly Clarkson is looking back in laughter, realizing she made a bad call. Good on her for owning up to her failures!

Kelly is a very sweet, bubbly girl and she would indeed perk up the NBC show. Lots of famous stars have made a cameo on Amy Phoeler’s show, including comedian Louis C.K. and basketball legend Detlef Schrempf. I’m sure the Parks and Rec department can make a little room for an American Idol contestant in the near future.

Fred Durst is a T.V. Douchebag

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 14th, 2011

Things in Hollywood either make no complete sense or absolute sense. Fred Durst starring in a CBS sitcom titled Douchebag falls in the latter category.

The Limp Bizkit frontman is clearly stretching his acting abilities by playing a rockstar trying to balance work with family. Wow, I can smell an Emmy! (I hope readers can smell my sarcasm.)

According to Deadline, Durst’s manager, John Schneider, came up with the storyline and will work as a non-writing producer for the soon-to-be cancelled show.

If this show lasts longer than the brilliant Clone High did, there will be hell to pay.

Is Beyonce Wearing a Fake Baby Bump?

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 10th, 2011

Fans tweeted up a storm when they saw Beyonce’s recent on camera interview with Sunday Night HD.

When Queen B sat down, thousands of viewers could see her baby bump folding and crumpling in high definition.

Now, rumours are swirling that Mrs. Jay Z is wearing a prosthetic bump while a surrogate carries her baby to term. Kind of a creepy move, if you ask us. Beyonce is known to keep her personal life VERY private but it’s one thing to be private and another to be a complete fraud.

Watch the video and judge for yourself!

Jennifer Lopez May Not Return For ‘American Idol’ Season

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 15th, 2011

Jennifer Lopez may not return to ‘American Idol’ for a second season, reports CTV.

During an interview on Tuesday with Scott Mills of the BBC, Lopez said:

“You know, this is the question of the hour. I don’t know, I don’t know.”

“I had an amazing time doing it and I loved it but I have a lot of other things happening and it’s gonna come down to making a choice of really what I want to do for the next year,” said Lopez.

Lopez and fellow judge Steven Tyler brought huge ratings and a new image to the show, but now that her career is kickstarted again, is she jumping ship?

This news raises the question if Tyler will leave as well, since they both have found top fame again. Do you think she should return? Or should new judges be instilled?

Lupe Fiasco Calls Obama A “Terrorist”

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 13th, 2011

Rapper Lupe Fiasco has called President Obama a “terrorist” during a television appearance, reports Rolling Stone.

Blasting the U.S. president during an appearance on CBC’s ‘What’s Trending,’ the rapper attacked the president’s foreign policy and declared him to be a “terrorist.”

“To me, the biggest terrorist is Obama in the United States of America,” Fiasco said. “I’m trying to fight the terrorism that’s causing the other forms of terrorism. You know the root cause of terrorists is the stuff the U.S. government allows to happen. The foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists.”

Fiasco went on to say that has no desire to vote in the 2012 presidential election.

“I don’t get involved in politics,” he said. “It’s meaningless. If I’m going to say I stand behind this person and write on a piece of paper that says, ‘Yeah, I stand for this person,’ then I have to take responsibility for everything he does cause that’s just who I am as a human being. So politicians aren’t going to do that because I don’t want you to bomb some village in the middle of nowhere.”

Although the statement is a little extreme, I see where he is coming from. I’m very often discouraged from voting as I don’t ever fully agree with the runners and their plans. But I think a vote is better than no vote. You should have a little say in who runs your country.

Glee’s Chris Colfer Gets Book Deal

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 9th, 2011

‘Glee’ star Chris Colfer has just penned a book deal, reports Entertainment Weekly.

The singer and actor has signed a two-book deal with ‘Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.’

Colfer will release two books, the first being an adventure novel touching on classic fairy tales, and the unrevealed second coming later. The first book, ‘The Land of Stories,’ is set to hit stores in summer 2012.

The star has previous experience as a writer, even writing the scripts for a Disney Channel pilot and the movie ‘Struck by Lightning.’

“When I was ten years old, I promised myself that if I ever had the opportunity to write this book, I would jump at the chance,” Colfer says. “This book has been at the core of my imagination for a long time and I’m excited and nervous to share it.”

I think this is a very smart career move. ‘Glee’ won’t last forever, so he needs to branch out. It is smart, though, to do children’s books, as that is his key demographic from ‘Glee.’ Smart businessman!

Laurence Fishburne Leaving CSI

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 8th, 2011

Laurence Fishburne is leaving ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,’ reports CTV.

Joining the show midway through the 2008-09 season as Dr. Raymond Langston, Fishburne reportedly won’t be back on the crime drama this fall, says a source.

The source spoke anonymously on Tuesday because the announcement has not been officially announced, revealing that the show’s producers anticipated the leave as Fishburne’s movie career has always been his primary focus.

The show will return for its 12th season this fall, and still continues to rank among the 20 top-rated shows on television.

I always though Fishburne was better than television. No offence to TV actors, but he is just such a great actor and has such screen presence, that it’s time for him to focus on films again. Let’s do another ‘Matrix,’ yeah?
