Ellen Quits 'American Idol'

Ellen has given notice she's not coming back next season to Idol, Simon Cowell has left to pursue bringing his other hit show from Great Britian to The United States. I tend to think Simon saw a sinking ship  and decided to get out while it was still on top. Kara (in my opinion) never really caught on and she isn't coming back next season either! Has American Idol run it's course? I think it may have. The way they handled Paula Abdul was the beginning of the end. Time will tell....

Ellen DeGeneres parts ways with 'American Idol' [poll]

Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me

One of the best songs on the 'Bionic' album. Gorgeous video. People have slept on the 'Bionic' album ... perhaps this new single & video will give it some much needed attention. There's so much more to it than the first single. She continues to be one of the most exciting artist's to watch grow to me. Her talent is off the charts. This new cd is such a diverse project, it really is much more than a dance album. I really hope 'Desnudate' is one of the next singles!

Kelly Rowland's Commander

I LOVE Kelly's music these days. She has found her own identity and she's making some good dance music. I've always found dance music by artist's who can really sing to be that much more entertaining. It's difficult to break out from such a popular group when you weren't the lead singer, there's always going to be comparisons. She suffered from that for a while, but in David Guetta she found someone that ignited something in her. I've always liked her, so it's good to see her break out and turn it out! Werk Kelly!

Naomi's Follicle Challenges

Super Model Naomi Campbell got the TMZ treatment! Doesn't she know better .. watch for the cameras!! TMZ is eternally shady. But so is the hair under than hat!

Girl when you got that going on up under there it should be guarded like Fort Knox!

Chris Brown: fake tears?

There is a witness who claims Chris Brown's tearful near breakdown during the Michael Jackson tribute he did on the BET Awards was only a bid for sympathy and fake. Further claiming one of his 'people' gave him eye drops to bring on the tears! This guys career is in ruins but I really hope he didn't do this. I saw the performance & admittedly I thought it was a bit much. But I thought it was 'possibly' real. I think what he was crying about was his life.... even dressed like Michael I think Mike was the furthest thing from his mind. He majorly fucked up and ruined and young and very promising career. I hope this isn't true... but nothing surprises me anymore.

At noon on Sunday, thousands of marchers filled Fifth Avenue for New York City’s annual gay pride parade. Nearly six miles away, on the sixth floor of a nursing home in Brooklyn, the frail, white-haired woman in beige pajamas and brown slippers in Room 609 sat motionless at the edge of her bed, staring out her window.
