Paris Hilton and....Paul McCartney ?
At the Grammys Sunday Night, Paris Hilton went up to Paul McCartney, (Yes THAT Paul McCartney) and asked him if he'd be interested in doing a duet.
Okay, let that sink in a minute.....
She pointed out that they were both singers.
I'll give you another minute.
Paul tried to graciously distance himself from her.
He IS after all Sir Paul McCartney, that title carries a bit of chivalry right?
But Paris kept pushing it, complimenting his great body of work....and his hair.
You cant make this stuff up.
Paul, in the consummate gentleman manner, told her that he would consider it.
If this somehow does happen, I think it will be one of the final signs of the Apocalypse.

Lindsay Lohan and Sevin Nyne
Lindsay Lohan seems to be reacting to the news that shes financially in trouble.
In her own way of course.
Hey, whatever works for her.
She's already launched her own line of leggings, which from what I understand is doing pretty well.
And now Lindsay is venturing into another market.
Spray on tans.
Lindsay will be premiering her own tan in a can product called Sevin Nyne.
This kinda keeps with her "numbers" theme, her leggings line being called 6126.
The spray will be sold through Sephora.com and they already have a page up for it here
There's also a page up for it here:
http://sevinnyne.com/
BTW, seven and nine are Lindsay's favorite numbers.

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty News
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty will be marrying her fiance Raj Kumdra in October of this year, but until then, they are renovating a 5 million pound Surrey home at St George's Hill.
Shilpa seems to be getting into the country life, saying that she can't wait to start raising a family there.
The home isn't the only thing Shilpa and Raj co-own.
They are also co-owners of the Rajasthan Royals, a franchise cricket team that represents the state of Rajasthan in the IPL (Indian Premier League).
Last year, the Royals won the inaugural DLF IPL T-20 Tournament.
Of course Shilpa isn't the only Bollywood celeb to invest in the Twenty20 format of the game.
Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Preity Zinta also have interests in the Twenty20 format.
Shilpa also has two movies coming out this year, "The Man" and "The Desire".

Cote de Pablo / Ziva David / NCIS
Chilean-American actress and recording artist Cote de Pablo plays Israeli Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David on the CBS drama NCIS.
A Chilean born actress playing an Israeli character on an American show.
Who says TV isn't diverse?
Cote's character on NCIS is amazing.
Ziva was introduced to the series in the third season premiere, and became a regular cast member in the episode "Silver War".
I like Ziva because even though this lady could be portrayed as a killing machine, they give her very human weaknesses.
Like the fact that Ziva can speak at least seven languages fluently, but has trouble with American slang.
And of course Ziva's running battles with Tony DiNozzo help make the show.
And even though CBS lists the show as Drama, Ziva and Tony help to make it one of the funniest shows on TV.
To me at least.
Cote has a song, Tom Waits's song "Temptation", on NCIS: The Official TV Soundtrack
(which I really like).

Bollywood Actress Bipasha Basu News
Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu is all over the news these days.
First, she seems to be starting a trend by not wearing make up.
Actually Ameesha Patel started it first, but you know, I wonder how many Hollywood actresses could pull off the no make up look?
And Bipasha is playing Diva again.
At Thursday night's launch of Shiamak Davar's sports wear collection, she was a no show.
Even though Bipasha is the company's brand ambassador and she was in Mumbai.
Rumor has it that she didnt attend because Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan were also invited to the event, so she was afraid she wouldn't get solo media coverage there.
Of course Bipasha's spokesperson denied this.
Bipasha has several movies coming out this year including Aa Dekhen Zara (a romantic sci-fi action thriller movie), Pankh, Lamhaa, Sob Choritro Kalponik and Chaimera.
Here is a video from Aa Dekhen Zara:

More About Lindsay and Sevin Nyne
Lindsay Lohan and her sister Ali Lohan were at the launch of "Sevin Nyne By Lindsay" at Sephora on Thursday in Santa Monica, California.
Oddly enough though, after the event, Lindsay, Ali and her friends spent the weekend in Hawaii, where Lohan soaked up some rays at a public park.
Isn't that bad advertising?
Over at the Telegraph UK, writer Melissa Whitworth tried Sevin Nyne and wrote about her experience.
You can read about it here.

Moon Bloodgood
With Terminator: Salvation bringing in $53.8 million in its opening weekend, and getting whomped by Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian (which brought in $70 million) things look kinda bleak for John Conner and his band of freedom fighters.
But of course the bright note in all of this is Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams, I'm sorry, Lt. Blair Williams.
Not only did Moon play Williams in the movie, but she did the voiceover for her character in the game "Terminator Salvation".
BTW, the game isnt being praised too widely either.
But anyway, back to Moon.....
Besides Terminator, this lovely young lady has appeared in generally lack luster movies, but pretty good TV shows.
Moon has been in Just Shoot Me!, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Monk, and she'll be joining the cast of USA's Burn Notice for two episodes as Detective Michelle Paxon when it returns.
Moon has appeared in Maxim magazine's Hot 100 list four times, in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009.
According to chickipedia, Moon is 5 feet 10 inches tall.
She gets her exotic looks from her Dutch-Irish father and South Korean mother.

Lindsay Lohan and The Other Side
Lindsay Lohan really seems to be trying to get things together.
First her 6126 clothing line, then the launch of "Sevin Nyne By Lindsay" and now word that Lindsay has stepped into a movie role that was written for Mrs. Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes.
The role in in an action film called "The Other Side", directed by David Michaels.
Katie had been working on the role for months, but decided to pull out to focus on her part in the Broadway play "All My Sons ".
The plot synopsis of the film is "An over-achieving science scholar tries to solve a bizarre mystery involving the residents of a remote island and ultimately discovers something she could have never predicted."
Lindsay will be playing part of Max Mackenzie.
Also starring in the movie is Woody Harrelson and Eddie Izzard.
And it also stars Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette?
This looks to be an interesting project to say the least.

The Top Ten Most Searched For Women In May
Well last months most searched for ladies on this blog really surprised me.
I know I say that every month, but this really did catch me off guard.
1. Alicia Keys
Maybe her little thing with Hip-hop maestro Swizz Beatz elevated her on the searched for list last month.
Of course when you show up on "American Idol " it don't hurt your ratings any.
2. Jessica Biel
I gotta chalk this up to Timothy Linh Bui's "Powder Blue", which just hit DVD and Blu-ray.
Or maybe it was "Easy Virtue"
3. Jessica Simpson
She stays on the covers of the tabloids. Just when you think she's gone, she shows back up again in full force.
She's got her name on shoes, sunglasses, perfume and even wigs.
And now she's pitching a new reality show, "What Price Beauty?".
4. Beyonce Knowles
The lady has class besides being gorgeous. Beyonce and Jay-Z know just how to stay in the public eye, but not go for over kill.
And staying in touch with her fans, like offering her fans affordable shows doesn't hurt either.
5. Scarlett Johansson
Getting voted one of the 40 Most Iconic Movie Goddesses of all time to start out 2009 isnt bad.
And getting tapped to play the Black Widow in the sequel to Iron Man isnt going to hurt her rankings either.
6. Lindsay Lohan
Showing some signs of getting it together now.
Her clothing line, her spray on tan and now a part in a movie "The Other Side". Will Lindsay follow Britney in getting her life together?
7. Eva Mendes
Everyone seems to like Eva. You really dont see a lot of internet hate with her. And with her new movie coming up, "Bad Lieutenant" directed by Werner Herzog and starring Nicolas Cage, Val Kilmer and Xzibit, expect to see a lot more of this Cuban beauty.
8. Cameron Diaz
She's getting quite a bit of press for being single. And starting work on the new movie "Wichita" with media magnet Tom Cruise will keep her in the limelight.
9. Jennifer Love Hewitt
Critics say The Ghost Whisperer just keeps getting better and better. Jennifer is hanging out with Jamie Kennedy and getting ready to start a country album (?).
10. Britney Spears
Two words: Circus Tour. She has stayed the course, handled the tour schedule and only had a few small bumps in the road.
The runners up....
Halle Berry
Angelina Jolie
Carmen Electra
Avril Lavigne
Hilary Duff
What?
No Megan Fox, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Shakira?
Nope, not last month.

Alicia Keys
Well it seems like everyone has spoken.
Alicia Keys really is the most popular woman on this blog.
Alicia was born Alicia Augello Cook on January 25, 1981 in Manhattan, in New York City.
Her mother was Irish-Italian and her father was Jamaican.
She made an appearance in 1985 at the age of four on The Cosby Show, where she was one of a group of girls that were Rudy Huxtable's sleepover guests in the episode.
At the age of seven she began to play the piano, and learned classical music by composers such as Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin.
She enrolled in the Professional Performing Arts School at the age of 12, and started writing songs at the age of 14.
(Britney Spears also attended the same school)
Alicia's first album, "Songs in A Minor", in 2001, was a hit, selling over 11 million copies and earning her five Grammy Awards.
This is the album her hit "Fallin"came from.
Her next album "The Diary of Alicia Keys" in 2003 sold over eight million copies and got her four more Grammy Awards.
She relaesed a live album in 2005, "Unplugged", that debuted at number one in the United States.
Her third studio album in 2007 "As I Am" produced her most successful song worldwide to date, "No One".
In 2007 she made her big screen debut, playing assassin Georgia Sykes in the film Smokin' Aces.
Even though the movie received poor reviews, I liked it.
And I thought she was great (and stunning) in it.
Besides Smokin'Aces, she has appeared in The Nanny Diaries (2007) and The Secret Life of Bees (2008).
On June 26th, Alicia will receive the Golden Note Award from ASCAP, (the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) in Los Angeles.
Past winners of this award include Diddy, Jay-Z, Quincy Jones, LL Cool J and Lionel Richie.
Alicia is currently dating music producer and Hip-hop star Swizz Beatz.

Britney and More Circus Tours Dates
People.com is reporting that Britney Spears is dating her agent Jason Trawick.
Evidently Britney has had a crush on him for awhile, he's one of her brother Bryan's best friends.
Recently they took a vacation to the Bahamas with Britney's sons, Sean Preston and Jayden.
And you know how some people were wondering if Britney would even be able to finish the Circus Tour?
Well Britney has announced 20 more dates in the U.S. and Canada after she gets back from Europe.
And yes she IS hitting my home state on September 5th.
I'll be looking into maybe doing some live updates then.
Britney will also be hitting Australia in November for her first ever concerts there.
Sounds like Britney is not only gonna hit the finish line, but she's gonna keep going.

The Women of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Well this show that I watched is now gone.
I guess I was too slow doing the entries huh?
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a science fiction television series that aired on Fox, but it's canceled now.
So lets do everything in one fell swoop.
First up, Sarah Conner herself, Lena Headey.
Lena got the role by beating over 300 other actresses.
Not physically, you know, in auditions.
It seems everyone's main problem with the TV Sarah Conner was that she wasn't the lean, muscular, ripped fighting machine that Linda Hamilton was in T2.
Next, Summer Glau as Cameron. I don't think anyone really had a problem with the unknown model Terminator.
Summer of course had a big science fiction fan base going in because of her portrayal of "River" in Firefly.
Leven Rambin as Riley Dawson. I don't know about you, but to me Riley had "doomed" stamped on her forehead when she showed up. For some reason I knew things for her would not go well.
Stephanie Jacobsen as Jesse Flores, the beautiful, deadly and possibly psychotic Australian resistance sailor.
Shirley Manson as Catherine Weaver. Yes the liquid metal T-1001 Terminator was also the lead singer of Garbage.
Not on the show mind you, but how cool would that have been?
So with this much beauty on the show, how did it fail?
Yeah I know it had plot holes.
Some of the ones that spring to mind are:
Cameron was a High School Student.
Why didn't she set off the metal detectors in the school?
If you know the Terminators are almost indestructible killing machines, why carry 9mms?
You know, little things like that.
If given time, it might have turned into a really good show.
But Fox doesn't give a lot of time.

Britney Spears and London
Britney Spears kicked off the European leg of her Circus Tour last night in London at the O2 Arena.
This is the first of eight shows she'll be doing there before moving on to Manchester, Dublin and the rest of Europe.
For an indepth review of her opening night, check out this article at NME.com:
http://www.nme.com/news/britney-spears/45095
And in a situation worthy of a soap opera, it seems Britney's people are trying to keep Brit away from former pal Lindsay Lohan, who has also arrived in London.
Back in Britney's partying days, Britney, Lindsay and Paris Hilton created more than a few headlines.
Britney's people don't want her falling back into that lifestyle, and rumors are that they are trying to keep the two apart.
Makes me feel a bit sad for Lindsay though.
With her looking like shes trying to get her life back together, maybe Britney would be a good influence on her.
And lastly, Britney's former assistant, Alli Sims recently told Access Hollywood that things with Britney weren't as bad as everyone made out, and the media blew a lot of it out of proportion.

Paris Hilton and Dubai
Paris Hilton will be filming the latest installment of her reality TV show " Paris Hilton's My New BFF " in Dubai.
Why Dubai?
Paris says its because she wants to expand her brand into the Arab world.
I think it's because she could feel the money pulling her clear across the world.
But Paris in the Arab world?
I can hear "Jihad" being muttered all the way over here.
Paris has said that both she and the show will respect the region's culture.
Even Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, gave his blessing to the show.
Somehow I can't see Paris in a burqa though.
For backup, Paris will be taking her boyfriend Doug Reinhardt with her.
"Paris Hilton's My New BFF." has filmed two seasons in Los Angeles for MTV and one in London for ITV2, British television.

Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda and Ai Otsuka
J Pop idols Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda and Ai Otsuka all had to cancel concerts last month because of the threat of Swine Flu.
Avex, the industry leading record label and management company decided to err on the side of safety to protect the public.
The concerts were expected to pull in at least an estimated 48,000 fans.
Rescheduled dates for the six shows in the Kansai (Western Japan) region have yet to be announced.
