A Word On Proselytizing

I'm a big fan of Penn Jillette, and this video of his, really got me thinking. I have mixed feelings about proselytizing, on the one hand, he's right. If I knew without a doubt that a truck was barreling toward someone I loved, I'd do everything I could, to get them out of the way in time. I honestly believe that every religious person is wasting away the one life they will ever have, how can I, in good conscience just look the other way? Besides, Chabad and others can sell their wares, and try to be Mekarev people, why can't I do the same..?

On the other hand, who am I to involve myself in other peoples business, or to make conclusions about how they should live their life...

I grappled with this when I was first starting to question everything I'd been raised to believe, when I tried to broach the subject with my wife, it didn't go over too well. She was satisfied with what we were raised, and didn't want to question it. So we agreed to disagree, I didn't discuss my thoughts with her, and she didn't pressure me about hers. I didn't want to force her into anything, lest one day she wake up and blame me for losing her family and friends, among all the other problems that come along with doing what I did.

Luckily though, over time my heresy - inadvertently - started to sink in, and before long she was right along side of me.

For years I used to picture my ultimate fantasy: sitting with my family in Pizza Hut, just like a regular American family, why Pizza Hut of all places? I have no idea, that's just the way it was. One day, purely as a joke I suggested we go out to Pizza Hut, I was shocked when my wife said "sure"! As we sat there in Pizza Hut I had tears in my eyes, here we where, a regular American family.

I still don't have a solid opinion on "spreading the word", but I'm leaning towards Penn's way of thinking.

lady gaga paparazzi video leak

Here is the official Lady Gaga Paparazzi video. See the music video and photos of Lady GaGa here.

LADY GAGA is not a happy bunny this evening her PAPARAZZI video has leaked online! It's pretty damn hot, she even makes crutches look good LOL! This is a really fantastic video.

The Paparazzi video is in support of the third single from Lady GaGa’s highly successful debut album, The Fame.Jonas Akerlund directed Paparazzi and has previously worked with Smashing Pumpkins, Madonna, Moby and U2.


Gaga describes her video as “the most amazing creative work that I’ve put together so far. It has a real, genuine, powerful message about fame-whoring and death and the demise of the celebrity, and what that does to young people.” A very cinematic approach was taken to create this video and explores the lengths at which some people will go to in order to reach celebrity status.

Two major themes in the video include both pornography and murder.The video was not set to premiere until June 4, 2009 however, due to a leak, Lady GaGa chose to debut her video on Perez Hilton’s celebrity gossip blog.

melissa joan hart weight loss

People Magazine has a few things going in its favor this week.

The next big win for People is that it convinced yet another star to pose in a bikini after losing weight.

Melissa Joan Hart is the latest celebrity to appear on People Magazine announcing their weight loss.

She has lost some addition weight, which brings Melissa Joan Hart’s weight loss to a total of about 42 pounds or so. She should be proud of reaching her weight-loss goal, and it is great that she wants to share her experience with others.

Looking at Melissa Joan Hart’s new 113-lb. bikini body, it’s hard to believe it was only last summer she felt “horrified” by the unflattering bathing suits shots taken of her at a Southern California beach.

Reclaiming her slim figure took Hart 14 months of hard work."It didn't happen by magic – it was as hard for me as it would be for anyone," Melissa Joan Hart says. "I didn't want to take any time away from my sons."

Hart says there are enormous pressures put on by a public that has grown accustomed to seeing stars get back in skinny jeans mere weeks after giving birth, not to mention anorexic waifs like Lindsay Lohan flaunting their rib cages hard.

Her inspiration to finally get back in the best shape of her life? The women in her life, including her friend, actress Jaime Pressly, who has a son, Dezi, 2.

"I realized I didn't have to be heavy just because I have kids," she says. Adds Pressly: "She took the time to take care of herself. I'm blown away."

To get back in bikini shape, Hart worked with nutritionist Derek Johnson at New Metabolism to change her diet. She also hit the gym with her trainer Mark Harari at Pulse Fitness Studio.

As for how she feels now? "I feel amazing!" she says. "I had to prove to myself that I could do it. I had to give it a go!"

Adriana Lima and Marko Jaric expecting first child

Victoria’s Secret angel Adriana Lima is pregnant with her first child.

The stunning Brazilian’s representatives have confirmed to US website People.com that she and husband Marko Jaric are about to become proud parents of a baby.

"Adriana and Marko are overjoyed that they are expecting their first child together and are excited to share the happy news and start their family together," the reps told People, which first had the baby-making news.

The duo eloped on Valentine's Day, swapping vows in a private civil ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyo., less than a year after Jaric popped the question.

Jaric, 30,who hails from Serbia and plays for the Memphis Grizzlies, met his beautiful Brazilian bride in 2006.

Kristin Cavallari is a Malibu Beach Babe

Making the most of the holiday weekend, Kristin Cavallari was spotted living it up at a swanky beach house in Malibu yesterday (May 24).

The newest edition to “The Hills” partied like the seasoned pro that she is, hanging out on the deck and throwing back Coronas along with some friends.

The 22-year-old former Laguna Beach star recently admitted that her prom on the show actually wasn’t her first. “I actually went to five proms, which was a lot,” she told MTV News. “My favorite was senior prom, and I wore a dress similar to the color of my shirt, like a peach dress.”

“Senior prom was just a lot of fun,” she said. “It was just all your friends right before you graduate … and it’s, like, the last thing.”
Looking for an afternoon pick-me-up, Kristin was also spotted making a trip to a nearby Starbucks coffeehouse for an icy cool coffee beverage.

And of course, Miss Cavallari was looking springtime sexy in a white midriff-baring top teamed with a matching long white long with sandals.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Kristin will be “replacing” Lauren Conrad in the upcoming season of The Hills.

kathy coleman land of the lost

Here is a picture of Kathy Coleman as Land of the Lost fans will remember her. Coleman makes a movie cameo in the feature film adaptation of Land of the Lost hitting movie theatres.

Kathy Coleman, also known as Kathleen Coleman, is making a comeback for the movie remake of the Land of the Lost.

Kathy Coleman will be making an appearance on the upcoming movie remake of the show Land of the Lost. It has yet to be revealed exactly what role she will play, but they are calling her appearance a “cameo.”

The film is described as:
“a disgraced paleontologist, his assistant, and a macho tour guide who find themselves in a strange, alternate world inhabited by dinosaurs, monkey people and reptilian Sleestaks.”
The film is led by Will Ferrell based upon the cult classic of the 1970s. Despite its huge cult following that decade, the show only ran three seasons.

A remake of the series from Sid and Marty Krofft in the 1990s didn’t bring equal results.

Kathy coleman came from a big family—she is the youngest of 10 children! . Known for her braided hair and red and white checkered shirt, Kathy was adored by fans of the show.
She also married young—at age 18. Kathy married the son of the late US Congressman Alphonzo Bell Jr. She had two sons with him before their divorce. She then relocated back the Los Angeles area following the breakup.

susan boyle memories

Susan Boyle is back. Susan Boyle sang her way to the final of Britain's Got Talent last night.

The Scottish woman who took the Internet by storm with her performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables" returned to "Britain's Got Talent" tonight with another Broadway show tune, this time "Memory" from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Cats."

Looking shocked at topping the public poll, she performed a celebratory jiggle for judge Piers Morgan, whom she called 'Piersy baby'.

Everyone is loving this performance. Sure she faltered at the beginning. But imagine the pressure? From Oprah to GMA, Susan has been everywhere but back to this stage and yet she displayed nerves of steel and delivered.

They were selected to go through by judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden, who had to choose between the group and ten-year-old Natalie Okri.

Comments tonight include:


Yes she did ‘falter’ at the beginning, but she performed fantastically under so much expectation and pressure!

She will win hands down! I bet she got more votes than the rest of the night’s contestants put together. Even Simon stood and applauded and appologised! That says something

Simon Cowell gave her a standing ovation. Other comments included:

Still a beautiful voice despite the wobble at the beginning. She recouped and went full speed ahead with her amazing voice. And by the way, Susan, you looked very nice.

At the end of the show, Boyle was declared a semifinalist, winning the "public vote" of viewers, who phoned in their picks. She'll take on 39 other acts in a live contest next week.

About 60 million people watched Boyle's original performance on YouTube, producers said.

Nikki McKibbin at American Idol Finale

Oh no what happened to former American Idol contestant Nikki McKibbin?

The once tiny singer showed up to the AI season finale Wednesday night with a couple extra pounds packed on.
That's an old picture of former "American Idol" contender Nikki McKibbin, but TMZ caught up with her at last night's "Idol" finale.

Nikki McKibbin is a singer and songwriter who made her debut on the national stage on the reality television series American Idol during the first season, taking third place behind Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson. She has lived a rough and rocky road since then, struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction issues.

McKibbin was on hand last night at the Nokia Theater for the season eight American Idol finale. The 30 year old Texan initially signed on with 19 Management and RCA Records. They urged her to release a country album but she felt that she was rooted in rock and headed down that path.
Nikki may popular for her appearances on "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" and "Sober House."

She also appeared on "Fear Factor," "Battle of the Network Reality Stars," and "Kill Reality".

I didn't watch the first season of "Idol", but I did get to know Nikki while I was hooked on "Celebrity Rehab" and "Sober House." I'm glad to see she cleaned up her act!

Her latest singles are Here to There and Inconsolable.

Kris Allen Wins American Idol!

It’s the American Idol 8 season finale… but who won American Idol??

The total underdog, dark horse winner… Kris Allen wins the American Idol 2009 finale!!!!

We get an intro of the judges, with clips of Randy Jackson’s “for me… for you…” line; clips of Kara sweetening bad news; clips of Paula’s vocabulary; clips of Simon Cowell hard of hearing.

Kris Allen has made one of the biggest comebacks in television history! After 620 million votes, 19 weeks, 100,000 auditions, an extra judge and a bikini girl, Kris Allen is your new American Idol.

Although Adam was an early favorite with his huge vocals and in-your-face style and confidence, Kris Allen never gave up and came from obscurity in the early rounds to win it all.

Before the results were given,Ryan Seacrest tells us it’s the hottest ticket in town… then talks about how just under 100 million votes came in.

Adam and Kris highlighted their polar opposite styling in perfect fashion. Kris paired up with Keith Urban and gave us a radio-worthy version of “Kiss A Girl.” Even with Keith Urban on the stage with him, the song sounded like it should be on his album.

Adam gave us a bigger-than-life collaboration with Kiss, platform boots , space-shoulder pads and all. It was everything you want from Adam.

As one last gift to the Idol fans both guys joined together for what we have been waiting for all season … Adam singing with Queen, “We Are the Champions.” And surprisingly, Kris holding his own!

Highlights included Kara DioGuardi showing up Bikini Girl in a vocal duel and then adding salt to the wounds by stripping down to a bikini as an inside joke/charity bet among the judges and Ryan. The Top 13 had lots of face time with each Idol getting at least one feature spot – something my season did not get, oh well.

David Cook sings “Permanent” as a tribute to his brother who passed away. After the show, the performance will go on iTunes, with proceeds going to an organization that’s trying to find a cure for cancer.

Lame of all lameness - “Golden Idol Awards” to honor all the crappy singers in the competition. Nick Mitchell (”Norman Gentle”) wins male performance and performs.

Queen Latifah and Lil Rounds sing “Cue the Rain.”

Jason Mraz sings “I’m Yours” with the finalists.

A look back at Kris Allen’s American Idol journey.

Kris Allen sings “Kiss a Girl” with Keith Urban.

The finalist girls sing “Glamorous” and then Fergie takes the stage and sings “Big Girls Don’t Cry”… then Black Eyed Peas perform.

More Golden Idols for “Best Attitude” - bikini girl, natch. She sings “Vision of Love” with Kara. And then Kara does a quick bikini flash of her own for charity.

Allison Iraheta and Cyndi Lauper sing “Time After Time.”

A chat with Kris and Adam’s parents.

Danny Gokey sings “Hello,” then sings with Lionel Richie.

Ryan Seacrest talks about the American Idol tour and album.

Next a look at Adam Lambert’s journey. Then he sings “Beth” then sings “Detroit Rock City”/”Rock & Roll All Night” with KISS.

Carlos Santana plays and the Idol finalists sing a Santana medley.

Final Ford commercial… and then, surprise from David Cook! Kris and Adam get a Ford Fusion!!

Michael Sarver and Megan Joy sing with Steve Martin.

The boys sing “If You Want My Body” then sing with Rod Stewart.

More Golden Crap awards for outstanding female. Tatiana wins and is annoying, as per usual.

Final performance, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen duet - “We Are the Champions” with Queen and the rest of the Idols.

And… finally… the nationwide vote of nearly 100 million votes… the winner of American Idol 2009 is Kris Allen.

Bikini Girl returns to 'American Idol'

Bikini Girl is back on "American Idol," as they reshow her audition clip as part of their run-down of screwed-up females who auditioned for the show this year.

Katrina Darrell, a 20-year-old model from Chino Hills, California wore a skimpy bikini to American Idol auditions in Phoenix, Arizona, and not surprisingly, got her golden ticket to Hollywood!

She then comes out on stage live, busting out of her bikini of course, as Randy Jackson gives her a standing ovation and she kisses Ryan flush on the lips as he makes a joke about her, uh, recent endowments.

Then Kara DioGuardi surprises her, comes out and takes over -- they hug and everything at first, but Kara totally destroys her and takes over the singing, it's pretty entertaining actually.

Whoah! And then Kara rips apart her dress, she's wearing a black bikini underneath! The audience goes wild. This is hilarious, Ryan says she did it for charity.

There was also another short period in time that I thought Fergie was going to hand out an upskirt to the American Idol viewers, which would have shocked the panties off of everyone Im sure. Needless to say there was no Fergie Upskirt thankfully so no worries on letting the youngsters watch Fergie and the Black Eyed Pea’s performance.

miley cyrus fat??

The teenage superstar has been hit with the criticisms over her weight after admitting to eating sugary cereals at night time and admitting on Twitter that she has jiggling thighs.

And, like all teenage girls, Miley Cyrus is conscious of her weight. We know this because someone called her fat and she won’t shut up about it.

The 16-year-old Hannah Montana star posted an angry tirade on her Twitter webpage insisting she is a "normal girl" after being criticised about her weight.

After attracting negative attention about her figure Miley is fighting back. She said: "Talk all you want. I have my flaws. I'm a normal girl, there's things about my body I would change but stop with calling me fat in post. I don't even like the word... People that are so okay with being so hateful disgust me."

"Oh, and P.S. If your thighs don't jiggle, go see a doctor. Thanks."

She later added: "Wow, now I'm upsetting people because I'm putting down skinny girls! Nicole Richie has one of the tiniest, most adorable bodies and I guarantee you that even her thighs jiggle!"

Well said Miley! If this girl is thought of fat then there is no hope for the rest of us!

shawn johnson wins dancing with the stars

I will not watch "Dancing With the Stars" again.

French actor Gilles Marini could have scored a 33 out of a possible 30 on "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday night. The room melted with his last tango, and he deserved to win the season finale. His last two opponents were very good; he and partner Cheryl Burke were steaming.

But teen gymnast Shawn Johnson showed that dancing isn't the game; fan voting is. And she won the finale. Anyone who watched the show for what it's supposed to be could not be comfortable with the result. But this was only the second great injustice this season. The first came when rapper Lil' Kim was voted off. Yet even she wouldn't have stood a chance against Marini. The guy is the complete package, to put it delicately. As judge Carrie Ann Inaba said, his "artistry" set him apart from all others.

The 17-year-old gymnast was named "Dancing With the Stars" champion Tuesday during the season finale of the hit ABC show.

The winning couple held the mirrorball trophy aloft as the rest of the contestants rushed out to greet them, hoisting them into the air as sparkling confetti flew.

"This has been the best experience ever," Johnson said after her victory. "I've grown so much."

Johnson was tied with fellow finalist Gilles Marini after Melissa Rycroft was dismissed earlier in Tuesday's show.

All three finalists performed one last dance, each earning a perfect score of 30 from the judges. Viewer votes are combined with judges' scores to determine the "Dancing" champ.

Show host Tom Bergeron said "less than 1 percent" separated the two finalists.

Former contestant Jeffrey Ross came back for a little comic relief, roasting the three finalists, calling them, "the underage, the unwed and the unpronounceable."

Tuesday's season finale also featured a performance by Lady Gaga and the finale of the new pro-dancer competition. Anna Damidova competed with three other professional dancers for a spot on next season's "Dancing With the Stars."

While Johnson was paid increasingly by the episode, she got nothing extra for taking the mirroball trophy, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles.

Because she's under 18, Johnson had to have a judge approve a minor's contract to participate in "Dancing." That agreement spelled out that Johnson receives $125,000 for being a contestant, and made significantly more per week the longer she lasted: For weeks three and four, Johnson received $10,000 per week; $20,000 per week for weeks five, six and seven; $30,000 for weeks eight and nine; and for the final two weeks, she received $50,000 a week — but no winning bonus.

rapper dolla dead

The Los Angeles Times reports that Atlanta-based rapper Dolla (né Anthony Burton II) was shot and killed outside of Los Angeles' Beverly Center shopping mall just after 3 p.m. PDT on Monday.

The shooting reportedly occurred during a group melee, possibly also involving a knife.A man has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of rapper Dolla -- we've learned he goes by the name Aubery Berry.

Dolla, a rapper whose real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II, was shot in the head while he and several other people stood near the center's La Cienega Boulevard entrance, according to police, witnesses and Dolla's publicist, Sue Vannasing. A friend of the rappers who was at the Beverly Center and a Los Angeles Police Department official also confirmed the victim's identity to The Times.

Burton, 21, arrived at LAX from Atlanta earlier in the day and went to the Beverly Center to shop, Vannasing said. After the shooting, Burton was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center a few blocks from the mall, where he died, police said.

Sources say after the shooting, the LAPD put out an alert that the suspect may have fled to the Los Angeles International Airport in an attempt to fly out of the city.

LAX police spotted a man who matched the description, sitting in the lobby area of Terminal 1. Cops approached Berry and almost immediately he said he knew why cops were there and then raised his hands and told them he had a 9 millimeter handgun in his waistband.

Berry (we have not confirmed if this is his legal name or an alias) -- a 20-year-old African American male -- was taken into custody.

Dolla is perhaps best known for the single "Feelin' Myself," which was featured in the 2006 dance film Step Up.

Anna Wintour: Sunglasses Are My Armor

Anna Wintour revealed to Morley Safer on 60 Minutes that sunglasses are her armor. She says if she is wearing sunglasses then she can sit bored at a show and nobody will notice.

Wintour - who is the editor of US style bible Vogue - gets invited to numerous fashion shows for her job, so uses the glasses to hide her true feelings when she is unimpressed at what is being presented.

Safer and 60 Minutes cameras followed Wintour to the spring fashion shows in Milan, Paris and New York, where the sunglasses are especially handy she says. "They're seriously useful...I can sit in a show and if I'm bored out of my mind, nobody will notice," says Wintour. "And if I 'm enjoying it, nobody will notice….At this point they've become...really, armor."

But getting noticed is also part of who she is and what it means to be in command at Vogue magazine, the bible of high fashion, which provides her a yearly stipend for clothing rumored to be in the six figures. "It's very important to me to look good when I go out publicly. I like looking at my clothes rack in the morning and deciding what to pick out," she tells Safer. I enjoy fashion, Morley, I mean, I wouldn't be in this job if I didn't."

Wintour is not the only celebrity to hide behind her sunglasses.

Victoria Beckham is rarely seen without her huge designer glasses and has previously explained she feels better wearing them as people can see less of her face.

She has said: "I'm not over confident and feel better if I hide behind my glasses and wear a cap as that means there is less of me for people to judge."

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are often pictured in their shades and regularly wear them on the red carpet as well as during nights out.

It was down to a trio of contestants who performed Tuesday night on the FOX reality show American Idol. Danny Gokey, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert entertained viewers with two songs apiece and then it was up to America to decide who would be sent home.

After 88 million votes, it’s going to be Kris Allen and Adam Lambert in the finale. After the votes were tabulated, it was Danny Gokey who was eliminated . He took the stage and performed an emotional rendition of You Are So Beautiful, bringing tears to the eyes of judges Kara and Paula.

Gokey, 29, a widowed church music director from Wisconsin, had until this week been one of the leading vote-getters among viewers this season.Danny lost his wife Sophia 10 months ago when she died of complications following heart surgery. It was just three weeks later when he first auditioned for American Idol.

According to Simon, the finale should be a “ding dong” of an affair. Without making us consult our British-to-English dictionaries, Simon informed us that it was a good thing.

However, before we got to any results of American Idol 2009 top 2, we got to see footage of each of the Top 3’s visits to their hometown. I don’t know what it is about this part, but I always get teary eyed when I watch the contenders deal with their new found fame at home.

The Top 3 journeyed back to their hometowns for a love fest. Danny to Milwaukee, Kris to Conway, Arkansas and Adam to San Diego. Touching video footage showed frenzied fans at rallies and parades.

Then Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks returned to the Idol stage to sing “Battlefield.” It doesn’t seem like it’s been two years since Jordin was awaiting her fate on the stage. I thought she looked beautiful and sounded great. But I have to wonder if she was in this year’s pool of contestants, would she still have won?

Finally we heard Katy Perry singing her new single, “Waking Up in Vegas.” This performance is my first exposure to the colorful singer and I didn’t think it was half bad. And judging from her cape, she’s an Adam fan. I will be pulling for Kris next week, but regardless of who wins the American Idol 2009 finale we should be in store for one spectacular show.

Check out your American Idol Season 8 Top 2 below, Katy Perry performance video, Danny Gokey You Are So Beautiful first video is from tonight, second video is his performance from Tuesday night.

danny gokey you are so beautiful

Danny Gokey chose to sing “You Are So Beautiful” which was originally made famous by Joe Cocker. After losing his wife, I can’t believe that he can sing these super emotional songs. I thought his voice sounding so amazing and I loved the arrangement. I think that was my favorite performance by Danny this season.

Wow, what a great choice. It totally fits the tone of his voice. He and Adam Lambert generally pick good songs. Man, this is super, super cheesy; everything is totally drawn out, a lot of emotion in his voice.

I can't help it though, it's a great song, and he adds some nice little vocal runs in there -- I like it. Very sincere, Gokey's fans are gonna love this. Heck of a nice finish, too. A bit artificial in that you can tell everything is practiced and planned, but that doesn't mean it's not effective.
Randy said that he loved that Danny showed that he’s in the competition because he can really, really, really sing. Kara said that it was stunning and amazing. Paula said that they were left breathless by the performance and that by changing the song’s structure he made it beautiful. Simon said that it was a vocal master class. Wow!

Judges comments on Dance Little Sister:
Randy - Let the games begin!
Kara - I did not like the dancing
Paula - You did (dancing) really good
Simon - Toy saxophone solo was not good

Judges comments on You are so Beautiful:
Randy - You can really really really sing
Kara - That was stunning
Paula - It was a beautiful performance
Simon - That was a vocal masterclass
Afterwards Danny says he just did what he did best, didn't overanalyze everything.

Good luck Danny! Good luck Vote for the Worst!

Helen Phillips wins 'The Biggest Loser'

Father and son Ron Morelli and Mike Morelli, the last remaining team, fell below the yellow line in the final weigh-in in The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 18. America’s vote will save one of them and put him in the final three with Tara Costa and Helen Phillips.

The Biggest Loser live three hour 2009 season 8 finale is airing now on NBC. While the viewers are waiting to crown the Biggest loser 2009 season finale winner, according to one poll Tara may become the winner this time.

During tonight's The Biggest Loser 2009 Finale the third finalist will be revealed and the season 8 Biggest loser winner will be Crowned. Keep in mind that the show is TV-PG rated.
The first order of business is to find out who America voted for. Unsurprisingly, America has picked Mike. He looks like he’s down around 50%, so he should prove to be stiff competition. Now that we’ve found that out, we know the final three, and one of them will be The Biggest Loser season 7 winner.

Meanwhile,According to Zap2it Poll 60 percent of the voters think that Tara will be the Biggest Loser winner of the 2009 Finale. Helen comes third in the poll with 5 percent and Ron is the 4th with only 1 percent voting chance to be the winner of The Biggest Loser 2009.

The Biggest Loser is even very popular in Canada and many people are watching the show from across the border. Sanling_Shines Twits about watching the Biggest Loser and wishing there was a Canadian version. "But our trainers would probably be too polite," she continues.
Over 166,000 people pledged their weight loss to support the Pound for Pound Challenge. In total, they pledged 2.9 million pounds so far. Continuing this project, for every pound pledged this summer, General Mills will donate one pound of food up to 1 million pounds.

So who do you think is the winner???

Helen Phillips was crowned the biggest loser on the seventh seven finale of NBC’s hit weight loss show “The Biggest Loser.”

Helen lost a total of 140 pounds during her six months on the show and looked amazing in a sexy, hot pink dress she couldn’t stop showing off.

The show began with a look back at all the ups and downs of the season. I’m sure it brought up a lot of strong emotions for the contestants because it brought up a lot of strong emotions for me. I was in tears by the time they reached the marathon. It is just amazing to see how far everyone has come.

adam lambert sing one

Adam Lambert gets his text from Simon: He'll be doing U2's One.

Adam Lambert sings One by U2 and Cryin’ by Aerosmith on American Idol 8 Top 3

It's very "Mad World"-like, same shade of blue stage, same slow and controlled performance. Man, so soulful... this is going to make Adam's fans melt. Belts out the chorus, showing off his range; the audience is just shrieking as he hits and holds the high note, looks like he's going to cry after singing that crazy note.

Not amazing for me, but better than anyone else tonight by a mile. Wow, audience erupts, Adam's just standing there beaming as his parents look on.

Randy says he "went off melody". Kara says "you're an "amazing strategist, you did your own version". Paula calls it "a brilliant choice of song and superb performance." Simon says "It was a brilliant, brilliant performance."Kara said he just proved that he can take a song and do it in a completely different way (she's just figuring that out?).

Simon says flat out it's a "brilliant" performance (and a brilliant song choice). Adds if you're not in the finals it'll be one of the biggest upsets. Uh, I couldn't think of a bigger one....

I've heard some great versions of this songs -- U2, Mary J. Blige, Johnny Cash. Adam starts it at an unbelievably subdued level. It's just gorgeous. But it doesn't last long. He goes from gorgeous to shrieky -- and, I'm sorry, I hate reverting to that over-used descriptor, but there's just no better word to describe it -- in less than two seconds. That trick has worked for a lot of the songs that he's done, but it just sounds awful here. Arrangement's great, though.

Good luck Adam! Good luck Glamberts!

One Lyrics
Artist: U2

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...life

One

lindsay lohan pregnant??

We all know that Lindsay Lohan graves attention but this one might be going to far.

According to sources close to the young starlet and gossip blogs everywhere, Lindsay Lohan is purportedly 7 weeks pregnant. The 22 year-old Lohan has yet to respond to any of these claims nor issued an official statement.

Unidentified tattles connected to celebrity journalist Ian Halperin claim the star has bedded a number of men in recent weeks in a bid to move past her split from girlfriend Samantha Ronson, and apparently doesn’t know who the child’s father is."I swear she's carrying," a source tells Halperin. "She's going through big emotional turmoil. She’s not sure if she’ll have it or go through with an abortion that she booked to have in the next few days. Saddest part is she has no idea who the father is. She must have slept with more than two dozen men in the past couple of months."

Sounds pretty suspect, not least of all because Lohan barely seems capable of sustaining herself these days, let alone another life in her womb.

Readers, have your say in the comments section: Do you you think Lindsay Lohan could be preggers?

lauren london pregnant??

That's what I'm hearing; the YBF is reporting that Lauren is something like 5 month pregnant, and while there's no confirmation on it.

According to YBF, Lauren is “indeed 5 months pregnant!” According to a celeb manager with loose lips, their client was offered a role after Lauren was unable to due to the rumored pregnancy and said to be taking time off from her career…

Until I see an official press release, a letter from the OBGYN, and the sonogram I won’t believe Lauren London is pregnant, and better yet pregnant by Lil’ Wayne.

Of course this rumor has been floating around for a while now, and if she is that far along, she would have been about 3 months pregnant in the above picture taken at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon at the end of March…

That's both criminal and disgusting - Weezy looks like a walking cockroach, and that kid won't be able to deal with a sizzurp-addicted father. Christ, that bothers me. I pray this is some wild rumor, or that she at least was level-headed enough to fuck with a dude who has something to with life other than electronically manipulating his twisted musings to nothing beats.

What do you think? Rumor or true?

Hoopz Sex Tape Leaking

We had some breaking news today that might make you say mother and forget the day. It turns out that Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander from VH1’s Flavor of Love and I Love Money has a sex tape about to leak all over the net (although some sources are saying they already have it). Above is a pretty PG rated clip that’s circulating.

The rumors are true. A hardcore sex video starring Hoopz, does exist.Infamous celebrity sex tape broker Mr. ZZee, the mystery man behind other best selling celebrity sex tapes, is announcing he has acquired a hardcore sex video starring reality TV star Nikki Alexander aka Hoopz. Hoopz, star and winning contestant of VH1's Flavor of Love and I Love Money hit shows, is shown having sex with her boyfriend, and all of the hardcore footage is on tape.The high quality video features multiple positions, multiple camera angles, including hand-held and POV footage and even shows Hoopz doing a wild sideways cowgirl position that has to be seen to be believed!

First Cassie, then Miss California, then Rihanna, then Cassie again… is the timing of all of this looking a little fishy? Is the economy so bad that everyone has to jump on the “hey I can get naked too” bandwagon? What do you think?

halle berry baby pictures

Finally, a great look at Halle Berry's baby Nahla! Halle has been very private with her daughter since Nahla's birth last March including skipping the baby photo sales game. Instead, the little one made her public debut at the Los Angeles Zoo on Saturday with Halle and her mom Judith.

The trio took a ride around to see the animals, though Nahla seemed more interested in her toy than any of the wildlife. Talk about a beautiful baby and Halle couldn't look happier enjoying the Summer afternoon with three generations of women in their family.

Halle wasn’t all that happy to see the cameras and started throwing the cameras looks that could kill. She was putting up her hands and well, just wanted them to go away. Can you blame her?No. But, I must say that this is the price of fame. If you don’t want to deal with it, order in. Have someone deliver your lunch. Don’t go places you know the paps will see you in. Am I wrong?

The 42 year old actress was named Sexiest Woman Alive in October 2008 by Esquire magazine.

It was said to be taken on using a Blackberry at a London Hotel room. It says in the mirror “I love you Robyn I miss you”, Robyn is Rihanna’s real name.

Cassie Topless Pictures Leaked

Cassie pictures were leaked online today; the star for some reason took racy photos of herself with no clothes on and they were leaked to the public. Heaven love the hard working elves at ONTD for posting this stuff or my life would have so many less bubes in it and thus, far less worth or meaning.

"It seems that someone has hacked into my computer," she Tweeted about the photos. "That's real foul and evil. Now stop acting like you haven't seen a t---y before."

The singer later took to her blogto further comment on the photo leak — posting at 4:57 a.m. — reiterating the fact that she thought whoever released the private photos is "evil."
The singer, 22, full name Cassandra Ventura, says that her PC was hacked. She even used her official Twitter page to discuss it. In her twitter updates, she says in plain Engrish that the general public who are blowing up her page should not act like they have never seen bubes before. She has a point.
"The recent personal pictures that have been leaked on the internet of me were hacked and stolen out of my computer," she wrote. "These photos were obviously never intended for the world to see and it's sad that people would really take time to steal and post them, it's just evil. At the end of the day breasts are breasts, mine weren't the first you've seen and they won't be the last ... people need to grow up, let's move on. Thank you."

At press time, a rep for Cassie had not responded to MTV News' multiple requests for comment.

Cassie is certainly not the first pop star in recent years who has had private, nude photos of her leaked to the Internet. "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens also had a scandal back in 2007 when a nude photo was leaked.

Much like Cassie, Hudgens took responsibility for the photos, saying they were meant to be private and that "kids do stupid things sometimes." "It was something that was meant to be private," she said. "And even though it isn't anymore, I'd still like to keep it as private as I can."
Though I have seen one before I had a gander at her rack, and you know what, it’s the weirdest thing. Though she is naked from (at least) the waist up, there is nothing remotely sexual about the shots. I mean, the girl is gorgeous and I mean the kind of gorgeous where you feel you have been punched in the face, but still, her sitting on her bed trying to look all sexified just seems a little cold. Not even having both of her nips pierced helped the matter. Odd.
