I'm writing this post after driving eight hours from my hometown in Illinois to the middle of eastern Tennessee where I've come to see my sister who has been recently diagnosed with mono. Therefore, as it is approximately 2:30 in the morning here, let me preface the following posting is not quite as "witty" or "clever" as most of my other postings are, there is a reason for this and it is that I'm pretty sure at least half of my brain cells are not operational at this point in the night. Therefore, please don't judge. But now without any further adue...
Although last week the news was released that Beyonce Knowles and her husband, rapper, Jay-Z aren't expected to bring an adorable future pop sensation into the world, we do have something to make up for the tremendous loss (or at least that is the loss that was never there to begin with.) Mariah Carey is pregnant! Mimi and her husband, Nick Cannon, released to the press this week that the soaring soprano riff singer are expecting a child sometime coming this spring and that they are being very cautious with it as they lost a child due to miscarriage previously about two years ago all while showing ample emotion throughout the interviews. The father- to-be, Cannon, said when interviewed that, "the greatest gift on Earth is a child."
In other celebrity relationship news, it appears that Billy Ray Cyrus and wife Tisch are ending their marriage of seventeen years as the two filed for divorce in Tennessee this week citing the cause to be irreconcilable differences. Furthermore, it was discovered that it was indeed Billy Ray who filed for the divorce papers while he is also asking for shared custody of the couple's three children, including pop star Miley Cyrus. Now, maybe it's just me, but did anyone else see this coming? I think after so long of whoring out your own daughter it has to be bound to put some strain on the relationship... or at least I really hope it would.
In today's reason that the world is coming to an end, we can see the notorious Antoine Dodson. The viral video sensation (Am I the only one here who can quote the famous interview word-for-word?) now is using his newfound fifteen minutes of fame to become a lucrative career. BeenVerified.com has released a "sex offender-tracker," which Dodson has been hired to become the new spokesperson of. In the new commercial for the device Dodson is shown in his signature black wife beater and red bandana while holding a baby (Is anyone else wondering if the tracker's catchphrase will be "You don't have to come and confess, we're lookin' for you, we're gonna find you. So you can run and tell that... homeboy!"???) all the while making at least one blog reader admittedly more likely to buy the tracker (you know, to make my Halloween costume more authentic of course!) Anyway, I decided for those of you have literally have been living under a rock the last few weeks to throw you a bone and post the video that made the man famous... enjoy!

The past week (or I should say past few weeks to be more correct) has been the week of the dirty picture. Starting off the week, controversy abounded as it was reported that football on-again-off-again retiree, Brett Farve, sent photos of his genitalia to a former New York Jets stadium reporter, Jenn Sterger. This has caused the NFL to open up an investigation regarding the incident that could end with the accusation of Farve participating in workplace harrassment. In the end however, I'm seeing this ending with the selling of these photos (which have allegedly already leaked onto the internet) and the next "One Night In Paris," being born.
The second incident of the dirty picture week goes to no other than Miley Cyrus. After mixed emoions were stirred up about the teen sensation earlier this summer when her video for "Can't Be Tamed," was released, which was hailed by many as a triumph on her path to maturing with her audience and caused disgust amongst others, the ex-Hannah Montana is back again and causing pretty much the same controversy... except even more bluntly. In a new video recentley released by Cyrus, "Who Owns My Heart," Cyrus is seen writhing around on beds, in limousines, in clubs, and on tables many times wearing only her underclothing... while she is still only seventeen. This has once again has drawn the same argument of should we let Miley grow up just quite yet or should we try to hold her back to Disney for this last month of her being a legal minor. My opinion you may ask on this topic? Look to other popstars in their transition years from adolescene into adulthood such as Britney Spears and take note; while the following road may be a hard one to travel, in my opinion it will also be one for Cyrus that is rewarding. (Not to mention uber-lucrative!)
This brings me to the final instance of dirty pictures of the week. Members of the cast of the hit television series Glee did an interview with men's fashion and lifestyle magazine, GQ, while the female stars posed in many revealing and sexual photos to go along with the story. The problem? At least in the eyes of the Parental Television Council Advisory Board, the photos were far too sexy and send the wrong message to many of the show's younger fans. (Which if we're going to be honest here is a large portion of the show's audience.) However, no need to fear. Whenever those mean PTCAB people show up to try to ruin all the fun there will always for sure be someone to count on to save the day... Billy Ray Cyrus. After the controversy began about the photos the "Achey-Breaky Heart," crooner (who happens to be a member of the board) said that he thought the photos were fine and that he thought the board was overreacting and that he was quite frankly getting tired of the board... all the while also defending his own daughter's (Miley's that is) newfound sluttiness from also being criticized by those mean Parental Television Council Advisory Board people as well. Aww, Billy, you're so nice... and by nice I mean creepy.

If you have been alive in the last few days, you have undoubtedly seen the following clip that shows outraged hosts of The View, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, got so upset with guest, conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly, after he said that Muslims killed Americans on 9/11. Many have been outraged by this and say that the co-hosts actions were uncalled for. However, I have personal experience on trying to get through to "the crazies," as I call them (I do live in Illinois south of I-80 after all) and therefore can completely understand the situation that Joy and Whoopi were put in. Bill O'Reilly refused to acknowledge that yes, while the terrorists who happened to kill Americans on September 11, 2001 did happen to be Islamic, they also happened to be extremist. Now, while that may seem like a petty argument to some on the right who would back up O'Reilly no matter what, let me put it into this perspective for you: this is exactly like saying that John Brown killing the men at Pottawatomie Creek and Harpers Ferry, Virginia was an act that was done by Christians. Both are nothing but offensive and ultimatley untrue. Therefore, despite Bill's lack of manners by way of his starting a yelling match, Joy and Whoopi should be nothing but proud of their positions to simply not let the man that so often uses his media platform to put his spin on his shows so-called, "No Spin Zone," get away with doing it once again. Now, I would also love to hear all of your opinions on this topic so please give me your ideas and comments in the comment section below this posting.
In other celebrity news, (or in this case a sorta kina celebrity) on the count of three let's all say "aww." Ready? One, two, three, "AWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!" Poor Snooki! (which yes, even I am somewhat appalled for having written that) Everyone's favorite Oompa -Loompa is being teased and made fun of... for being fat. While this of course is horrible, (you guys at South Park are jerk-doody-head-meanie-butt-faces!) it does however even get worse. After the episode making fun of the Jersey Shore star was shown on South Park, Snooki was given an offer to become the new spokesperson for an acai berry diet to try to make her become the next Kirstie Ally or Valerie Bertinelli. Now, while to many Snooki appears to be overweight, it is my opinion that this is simply because of her short height and that she doesn't have a need to lose any weight. Furthermore, this issue is not helped by the fact that it has been reported that Snooki struggled with anorexia during her high school years. Therefore, who are the bigger bullies: South Park for making fun of her, or the diet company for trying to make a buck off of it?
This brings me to today's reason that the world is coming to an end. This week the news came out that after violating the terms of his probation by being found carrying a controlled substance, rapper, T.I., was sentenced to eleven months in prison. "Now, why would that be a reason for the world to end J.C.?" you might ask. This is because this news came in the same week that T.I. was heralded as a hero for stopping a man from committing suicide by jumping off of a ledge. Therefore, it would almost appear as though in our modern-day world it means nothing to be a good Samaritan and that nice guys truly do always finish last.

I'm not going to lie. So far as the world of celebrity gossip goes, this week was kind of a bust. After all, no one was arrested for cocaine use. (At least to my knowledge that is) This makes me wonder what our country is coming to when we don't have good drug addiction stories to share about our beloved celebrities. Oh well, while I may not be able to give you any good cocaine abuse stories for the week I can still give you the happenings that did actually occur in the very slow news week that has just passed.
While on October 6th I celebrated my sixteenth birthday, sixteen-year-old, Angus T. Jones was ranked as the highest earning child star in the world. If that name sounds unfamiliar to you, you may know him better as "that kid from Two-and-a-Half Men." This week it was revealed that Jones signed a contract with CBS for two more seasons that guarantees he will earn $300,000 per episode. Furthermore, the contract says that the next two seasons will have at least twenty-six shows giving him 7.8 million dollars, going up to possibly forty-eight shows which would earn him 14.4 million dollars. Jealous much? I know one thing for sure is that I am!
While "that kid from Two-and-a-Half Men," has been raking in the dough, it appears as though German royal family (yea apparently Germany has one of those too) is doing just the opposite. This week, Prince Frederic von Anhalt put up a relic of the family for auction on the internet: a uniform of the Duke of Anhalt. The problem? While the uniform is said to be valued at $250,000 it is being sold for a mere (well that is in the whole scheme of this issue that is) $160,000. While this at first may make some wonder if the royal family are idiots for the crappy deal, it appears there is a good reason for the sell. The proceeds from the item are to be put towards Prince Frederic von Anhalt's wife, actress Zsa Zsa Gaborr's medical bills after she had surgery on her hip back in July. (Everybody say "aww!") Nothing says romance like pawning off some family heirlooms!
In this week's installment of celebrities gone wild (although still not having to do with cocaine) there are actually two count's of stars acting crazed. The first case of this was viewed this week in Los Angeles, where British comedian extrordinare and fiance of Katy Perry, Russel Brand was arrested for assault during an "altercation," with paparazzi. It has been reported that this case should be settled Los Angeles City Attorney's Office as Brand as said that he was justified in his actions since the paparazzo was attempting to take photos up his fiancee's skirt. (Which by the way Katy, I think it would be smart to learn from the mistakes of Britney and Paris and just start wearing pants.)
The other case of celebrities gone wild was found when Shakira released the music video to her new song, "Loca." (Which I happen to love and have already bought off of iTunes just so you know) While singing in the video the Columbian latin-pop crossover sensation is seen dancing in a fountain in Barcelona, Spain. The problem with this? Apparently no one got a permit to do this in the fountain. Futthermore, in the video Shakira is shown sitting on the back of a motorcycle without wearing a helmet, another offense of the city's ordinances. Therefore, the city of Barcelona is threatening to fine Shakira for taking the liberty of dancing in the fountain and going sans helmet. However, I always like to see what the readers think so please tell me: should the city of Barcelona get a better sense of humor and lighten up or is Shakira truly "loca." Watch the video and please discuss in the comment section below!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Reports confirm that Heidi has finally really called off her divorce from Spencer! What kind of world are we coming to? One that possibly can't survive for that much longer I guess, since this divorce was crucial to the survival of it. Why- oh- why can't these two just break up! Heidi Montag (I still refuse to refer to her as a Pratt) was seen with her husband, Spencer this week burning their divorce papers in a fire while roasting marshmallows over it and making smores. (Which, yes the idea of this is making me rather hungry right now.) All I can say, is that I still have a nasty taste in my mouth from this!
In other news, it looks like Gisele Bundchen is a cheater! She was seen getting rather close and personal with a man at a masquerade in Paris who was not her husband, Tom Brady. (And yes, I am having flashbacks to watching the Baz Lurman version of Romeo and Juliet right now too) Now, what is her excuse for this? I suppose the fact that she's Gisele Bundchen, and she'll do whatever she wants!
In Dancing With The Stars news, (I know it's hard to call anything from that show newsworthy) Michael Bolton is a cry baby. (Or well, a bigger one than what we already knew!) After being given a bad review by one of his judgest this week and eventually being voted off the show, he went to multiple media outlets saying tthat the judge's comments were demeaning and mean-spirited. The problem with this? HE'S A JUDGE; HIS JOB IS TO JUDGE YOU!!! In my opinion, this does nothing for Bolton but makes him seem more annoying than his songs ever could to me (although it's still close) and makes me want to tell him to just shut up. (PLEASE!)
This week in American Idol news, it has been reported that newly announced judge, Jennifer Lopez, (who since has had an absolutley unsuccessful music career, I think is a horrible choice for the position by the way) has been having some major cat fights with fellow diva, Ryan Seacreast. Do I believe this is true however? No! FOX always tries to make it seem like there is some controversy on the show that there really isn't so that people will (hopefully) tune in to the show come January. I think that this is just another one of these ploys on the part of FOX to do this... so don't fall for it!
One of the stars of "The Real Housewives of D.C.," says she will not stop calling fellow castmates Tareq and Michaele Salahi the "White House Party Crashers." Of course, these two are the couple that were the center of much media attention earlier this year when they were able to sneak into a ball at the White House and get past the secret service. However, according to the couple's lawyer they did not crash the party and therefore the couple has threatned to sue anyone on the cast who calls them the defamatory remark. And is this "Real Houswives..." drama a surprise to anyone? No.
Finally, in cocaine abuse news, (which yes, I now feel is often used enough to be officially made a category) earlier this week, pop sensation Bruno Mars was charged with a felony for possession of a controlled substance. He was actually arrested on September 19th in the bathroom of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. (what is it about celebrities getting arrested for cocaine abuse and Vegas bathrooms???) If he is convicted of the crime he may face penalties up to a five thousand dollar fine and up to four years in prison (however the latter is unlikely.) I can already picture the crazed fans lining up at the court house with picket signs reading: "Free Bruno!"
