Britney Earns 3rd Top 10 Off Femme Fatale


Our girl Britney is ON.A.ROLL!!

This week the Queen of Pop earns her 3rd top single from her #1 album Femme Fatale, as "I Wanna Go" shoots 11-9 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It may come as a surprise, but this is the first album from Brit to garner 3 top ten hits; she scored two top 10 hits from ...Baby One More Time ("Baby" hit #1 and "Crazy" peaked at #10), and Circus ("Womanizer" went to #1 and "Circus" reached #3), so this is great news!!

It also happens to be Britney's 12th top 10 hit, which puts her in 3rd place for female artists with the most top 10's this decade, behind Rihanna (18) and Beyonce (14).

LOVE IT! Looks like nothing can stop Ms. Spears, she is still on top of her game and better than ever!

America's Sweet Heart Has Still Got It

Oscar winner Julia Roberts is looking AH-mazing on the cover of W Magazine, while promoting her latest film Larry Crowne with equally-as-iconic legend Tom Hanks.

Don't know how much Photoshop is involved here, but nonetheless she looks sexy!!

Britney SMOKIN' Hot on Cover of Harper's Bazaar

Unless you've been living under a rock the past couple months you should all be well aware that our gurl Britney Spears is having one HELL of a year!!!

Her latest album Femme Fatale became her sixth #1 album, was certified platinum, and she's scored two MONSTER singles "Hold It Against Me" and her current chart topper "Till the World Ends".

And now, in the midst of preparing for her upcoming tour, Brit shot a super sexy spread for Harper's Bazaar Magazine.

Dayumm! She's looking so good! Can't wait to see her in real life when she goes on tour!!

If You Don't Know Already


This was announced yesterday, but it's news that spreads fast. Oprah will be ending her historical talk show in 2011, after 25 years of being TV's top dog.

Oprah has said that after 25 years she feels it's time to end the talk show, which made her a billionaire.

I actually think this is a very smart move. Oprah's numbers have been falling steadily over the last couple of years, and I think it's best that she finish on top, while she is still considered a Day Time TV powerhouse.

I bet Tyra Banks is hysterically crying out of pure joy right now...

Happy Birthday Pretty Woman!


America's Sweetheart, or I guess I should say America's 'former' Sweetheart, Julia Roberts, turns 42-years old today!

Happy Birthday!

Ever since she first graced our presence with her breakout role in 1988's Mystic Pizza, Roberts has been entertaining the masses with her million-dollar smile and impressive acting chops.

In the last 5 years, though, she's been kind of keeping it low key, and the movies she's released during this time have been nothing special (did anybody see Duplicity? Ya, me neither.)

I think it's time for a Julia Roberts comeback! We all want to see another Oscar-worthy performance like Erin Brockovitch (in which she actually did win the Oscar), it's long over due!

So Julia, get back out there! Leave Phinnaeus and Hazel with the baby sitter and get crackin'!

U2 Tour Continues to be Massive


U2 takes the #1 spot on the Hot Tours List, that follows the top grossing tours around the world. The band grossed $41.4 million over 13 dates in Europe, good enough to beat the likes of fellow tour giants Madonna and Bruce Springsteen.

Although the band's latest album "No Line on the Horizon" debut at #1 all over the world, it was a commercial failure in the states, not even selling a million copies.

Even if they don't sell what they used to, U2 is one of the best live bands of all time. I have been fortunate enough to see them perform twice, and both times were unbelievable! I strongly recommend you to check them out at least once!!

Dylan to Release Christmas Album


It has been confirmed that Bob Dylan will be releasing his first Christmas album, according to Billboard. The legendary artist has already recorded versions of "I'll Be Home For Christmas," as well as "Here Comes Santa Claus."

I don't know about you guys, but I don't think I'd enjoy a Bob Dylan Christmas album. I usually think holiday CD's are for people with um, good voices, who cover these cheesy songs and make them somewhat enjoyable by belting the crap out of them.

Our boy Robert Zimmerman does not quite have the pipes to carry this baby out. The world's best songwriter of all time should not be doing Christmas covers!

Oculous Happy Birthdayo!



It's J.K. Rowling's Birthday today!

Then author of the Harry Potter series turns 44 today, and what does she have to celebrate?

Oh well hmmm, let's think. Since the first Harry Potter book came out in 1997, Rowling has sold a staggering 400 MILLION copies of the 7 book series, and is now the richest woman in Britain! In 2008 the Sunday Times Rich List estimated that Rowling was worth close to $798 million dollars. Since then, the release of the new movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince means that her net worth has probably risen again!

Of all people, Rowling deserves all of her success. Harry Potter is probably the biggest pop cultural phenomenon of the last 20 years, and forever changed the face of children's literature. (Who am I kidding, I'm 23 and just recently finished the 5th book...for the 3rd time.)

Congrats!
