Don’t say we didnt warn you, you may want to reserve your tickets now! The JBs and Taylor Swift will be playing at Rodeo Houston at Reliant Stadium. The Jonas Brothers perform March 8, 2009 and Swift takes the stage March 20, 2009. Other performers announced Monday include Rascal Flatts (March 3) and Brad Paisley (March 12), both of whom performed to big RodeoHouston crowds earlier this year. Flatts’ previous show attracted 72,051 folks; Paisley’s performance drew 73,003 fans. Both are among the top 10 paid-attendance record holders. (Miley holds the top 2 spots). It’ll be interesting to see if Miley’s “friend” can top those numbers.

Okay, Sara or Tina? Who’s the better Sara Palin? Tina Fey, as talented as she is, we expect her to have the glamourous look of a TV Star. But, Sara Palin??? You don’t expect a mother of five and possibly just a “heartbeat” away from being the President of the free world to be a looker, right? In any case, what’s her secret? Does moose hunting burn more calories than an hour on the treadmill?
The big buzz is that Tina Fey said in a TV Guide interview “I’ll tell you, that lady is five times better-looking than I am. She’s 44? She’s got none of that droopy (stuff). She’s keeping it tight!” You can probably thank the cold Alaskan nights for that. No wrinkles or droops, we call that shrinkage.
Hollywood Tuna says that Jessica Alba - who is pregnant by boyfriend Cash Warren - has turned down three offers to pose nude while pregnant, like Demi Moore, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears (and a few others, if I recall correctly).
Well, it’s not like she hasn’t posed (near) naked before. And I guess Jamie Lynn Spears is jailbait, so no naked actresses on glossy covers. Wait a minute. Aren’t the vast majority of actresses of child-bearing years currently pregnant or have just given birth? Anyone for a Halle Berry naked/ pregnant magazine cover?
At first, Amy Winehouse was going to be investigated and now she’s been arrested. It’s not entirely clear what’s going on but apparently it has something to do with her interference in her husband Blake Fielder-Civil’s case. Fielder-Civil was arrested in November and is currently in jail. Winehouse has been losing it to the point of wandering out in the streets at night half-clothed.

Okay, he’s not completely naked in the new Emporio Armani ad, but he’s really not that far from it. Especially with his legs splayed wide open. Anyway, he’s done his job, as apparently tight white briefs have increased in sales by 50%. Armani themselves are enjoying a 30% increase in sales.
Well, just wait until someone reminds guys that wearing tight briefs reduces sperm count. Oh wait, I just did. On the other hand, maybe wearing briefs will cut down on the incredible number of celebrity pregnancies and births witnessed in 2007.
On the flipside, maybe his wife Posh Spice, aka Victoria Beckham, will stop saying she’s a gay man in a woman’s body.
Alex Trebek was released from hospital yesterday (Dec 15th). He suffered a mild heart attack earlier in the week and was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Hospital.
Seems that during a Tori Amos concert in San Diego, two young women in the front row kept coming and going from their seats. Fed up, Amos kicked them out, telling them to get the f*ck out of my show. (See the YouTube video at Dlisted.)
While I think she’s within her rights, she tends to be overly sensitive. In the late 90s, at a small show, a guy came in a bit late, sat down in one of the few remaining seats up front, and said something out loud. Amos stopped playing and walked off the stage. I met that same guy a few years later. We somehow talked about Tori Amos and her concert, and I said how some assh*le ruined things for everyone. He said, “that was me.” He explained that he loved Tori Amos and was complimenting her, but she simply misunderstood.
Amos is an incredible talent, in fact a child prodigy, and they tend to not interact well with people in general. But at least in the case of these girls, she did the right thing. What do you think?
So Britney Spears was supposed to show up for a deposition with baby daddy K-Fed’s lawyers but decided to call in “sick”. Uh huh. She actually claimed queasiness or some such stomach illness. Yet other reports indicated that she was out partying much later. And that surprises you why? We’re talking about Britney Effin Spears, the biggest mess in Hollyweird, who is said to run over the feet of people - including officers - goes through red lights, smokes in front of her kids, whose seatbelts she doesn’t put on, and the list goes on. She really doesn’t want her kids, does she?
Lovely Jessica Alba is pregnant by boyfriend Cash Money Warren, disappointing millions of Dark Angel fanboys who never had a chance with her anyways. I guess this is one actress Jack Nicholson didn’t impregnate.
With three of her four kids being adopted and from other parts of the world, it’s not unexpected that Angelina Jolie’s biological daughter Shiloh might seem out of place. Sort of. But for Angelina Jolie to say that Shiloh is an outcast amongst the other three is really, really weird.
