Britney Spears, Best Celebrity Makeover of 2008

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Besides coming in at the top of the searches for 2008, Britney Spears also got best makeover of 2008.
Which I think she deserves.
Most people were ready to write her off at the beginning of 2008.
But now the celebrity train wreck seems to be over.
Oregon Live.com has even nicknamed her "The Queen of All Media".
And as of today, "Circus" is the number three selling album of last week.

Best makeover of 2008: Britney Spears
by Sara Stone,
I can't call this "The biggest comeback" because the raw fact is, she never left! Though her haitus to crazy town was shocking and saddening, she was more in the spotlight than she had been in recent years. So therefore, it is more of a revamping than a comeback.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan are everywhere these days.
And unlike a lot of other Hollywood couples, there doesn't seem to be a lot of press about why they are together.
But now rumors are starting to surface.
Is love all that's on Samantha's mind?

Samantha Ronson more dynamic as a duo with Lindsay Lohan
Samantha Ronson may want her relationship with Lindsay Lohan to work for more reasons than just love: Since dating the actress, the deejay?s fee per gig has jumped from around $1,500 to as much as $25,000, netting Ronson close to $3 million over the last year.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson's Busy Weekend

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Well the weekends over, but of course celebrities stay busy, especially on the weekends so they can hit the headlines Monday morning.
Case in point, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson.....

Lindsay and Sam's Whirlwind 14 Hours in Miami
In what may have been one of the shortest Miami stays on record for Lindsay Lohan, the 22-year-old actress joined girlfriend Samantha Ronson last night at Miami?s downtown club Karu & Y. The couple flew in late Saturday afternoon so Ronson could spin at the late-night boite.
Full story here

Of course you can't just have fun, you have to do grown up things too.
Like suing your own lawyer.

Isn't that like having a biting fight with a Great White?

Priyanka Chopra At an Art Show

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Bollywood actresses are not like their Hollywood counterparts.
I don't think they have anything comparable to Paris, Britney and Lindsay.
No, by contrast the actresses in Bollywood seem calm and reserved.
Charity events and art shows seem to be more in line with India.
As evidenced by this appearance by the beautiful Priyanka Chopra.......

Priyanka Chopra At Ayushi Mahajan's Art Show
Oh what a swanky scene at Ayusi Mahajan's art exhibit, held last night in the uber posh five-star Leela Hotel in Mumbai night last. The event that showcased the work of the already flourishing artist, Ayushi Mahajan, probably became a bigger success with the appearance of the gorgeous Bollywood actress and former Miss World winner, Priyanka Chopra. The event was purely put together to display and promote the art of the talented Ayushi Mahajan whose pieces featured at the show ranged from beautiful, calm, cool and tranquil realistic nature scenes which included sunsets and beaches to bright and bold modern, minimalistic, paint splattered art.

Britney Spear's Circus Sales Drop 60 Percent

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Ouch.
After Britney Spears debuted at number one last week with Circus, her sales plunged 60 percent and she dropped to number two, with Taylor Swift taking the top position.
60 percent drop?
Isn't that a bit sharp?
Maybe Britney's Circus is a bit too edgy for parents to give teenage girls, while Taylor Swift?s Fearless seems perfect.
But Britney shouldn't feel bad, she's sold 706,000 copies in two weeks.
That's 706,000 copies more than I have ever sold!
LOL

The big question now seems to be how will Britney handle life on the road with her tour?

Jessica Alba News

I haven't featured Jessica Alba here in awhile (probably because she doesn't act like an idiot in the press) but one of the world's most beautiful mothers is still out and about.

First, an article from X-17 Online about Jessica's fashion sense with pictures. I love the dark hair and bangs.....

Art Imitates Life for Kareena Kapoor

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor was in Philadelphia shooting an untitled Renzil D'Silva project with Saif Ali Khan and Karan Johar when the devastating atacks in Mumbai happened.
As often occurs, art imitated life for Kareena, but in a horrifying way.
Again, my thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this tragedy.


Kareena shoots a film based on terror in these hard times
When the heinous terror strike hit Mumbai, little did Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor know that terrorism would take a toll on the city when she would be away shooting for a similar terror-related film in Philadelphia.
On hearing the news of the attack, a worried Kareena spent her valuable time in the US, making anxious calls back home. The actress had been shooting for some horrifying terrorism scenes the previous day, for Karan Johar's new film.

Britney Spears "Circus"

I finally got the chance to sit down and listen to most of "Circus" and see a lot of the videos.
Britney doesn't look like she's lost much if any at all.
" Womanizer" may be my favorite track, and the video reminds me a lot of "Toxic" for some reason.
I especially love the lines " You think I'm crazy? I got your crazy!"
More of Britney's songwriting therapy?
And another thing, I got this weird Madonna vibe off the videos and songs.
When I started this blog it was called " Britney Spears, the Downward Spiral". But after things started really piling up on her I changed the name.
I hope Circus really is a new beginning for her.
It looks like it is.
The list of stops on her comeback tour is expanding, with her adding more performances in about half-dozen cities for her 2009 road trip for "Circus".

Mariah Carey and the Grammys

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Awhile back Mariah Carey was heading down the Britney Spears road.
But Mariah seems to have pulled out of that nose dive and is doing pretty well.
But even though things are going better, everything isn't coming up roses.
After putting on go go boots and performing "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," Mariah's album ?E=MC2? was completely snubbed by the Grammy committee.
Not even a single nomination.
Why?
Who cares?
The REAL Mariah Carey question is.....
Is she pregnant?
Rumor has it that Mariah and hubby Nick Cannon may be expecting.

Kim Kardashian...a UN Ambassador for South Africa?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Did I miss something?
According to several news sources Kim Kardashian was asked by United Nations officials at the Empowerment of Africa dinner in New York if she would be interested in becoming a UN ambassador for South Africa.
Kim Kardashian?
Okay, this is an episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" right?
"Tonight on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim is asked by United Nations officials to become the Ambassador for South Africa. Despite Bruce's objections, Kim accepts and hilarity ensues."
Nope.
It appears to be real.
Check out

and
http://www.inquisitr.com/10693/kim-kardashian-to-be-un-ambassador/

Don't worry though, this is celebrity news and within 24 hours all parties involved will issue strong denials that any event like that ever took place.
Meanwhile, I'll be looking for Rod Serling standing off to the side laughing.
