Who Let in the Old Folks?
Mar 31st
You’d think Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards would be a pedophile’s dream, yet it seems that the event was mostly filled with geriatrics . . . you know, the 25+ crowd. I mean you had your usual teenage suspects Miley Cyrus and Hayden Panettiere in attendance–by the way, nice ass shot for the kids, Hayden!–but you also had Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Love Hewitt and her Hips, and a very pregnant Jessica Alba. And speaking of Jessica Alba, is she there as a role model for 8 year olds who aspire to become pregnant before marriage? Well, I guess she is a better choice than Jamie Lynn Spears. Also, when you check out the pics from the Kids’ Choice Awards, notice Rihanna’s strange, strange face. She looks like a goddamn Star Trek character if you ask me . . .
Melinda Doolittle Is Adorable!
Mar 27th
Okay, I pinky swear that we will not become a pro-American Idol fan freak site where we post about AI every day, but please indulge me for a minute . . . today I met Melinda Doolittle at her autograph signing event/promo tour for Edy’s ice cream, and I wanted to share the experience. I know it’s incredibly lame/gay/weird to go as a fan to these things, but honestly Melinda is the only contestant in seven AI seasons who has blown my mind with their vocals, thus I deemed meeting her worth suffering the embarrassment of telling my friends that I met a former AI contestant at an autograph signing at a grocery store.
All that aside . . Melinda has an amazing, warm personality! As conversations that involve me typically do, it quickly devolved into being all about me when she complimented my purple eye shadow–MAC pigment in “Violet,” thank you. I meant to ask her if she was recording an album–but we got talking about me. Anyway, if you loved Melinda on Season 6 of AI, you’d love her more in person. She’s really pretty, taller than I thought she’d be, and just a very warm person. It was so cute to watch her hug all over a two year boy who was sitting on her lap.
I told her that she was the only female contestant from AI that I would consider coming out to see–hot male ones, yeah, but any other female no. Speaking of “hot” male contestants, have a gander at the “hot” one this year, Michael Lee Johns, i.e. Michael Hutchence and Jim Morrison wannabe . . .
Gwen Stefani’s Baby Shower
Mar 26th
Gwen Stefani looks gorgeous arriving to her baby shower, doesn’t she? Pregnancy looks a-ma-zing on her! Baby number two for Gwen and Gavin is due in July, but she hasn’t let the public know the gender yet. It totally annoys me when parents either don’t want to know the gender, or they know it but won’t tell anyone. It’s like, really who cares that much that it’s secretworthy–it’s a simple damn question and not answering it is very annoying. But, anyway, Gwen says of her son firstborn child, Kingston:
“Kingston didn’t really change me so much as he just has made my life better.
I’ll be rocking him to sleep and he’ll be playing with my hair and it’s just the most amazing feeling in the world. To have this little guy who loves me so much automatically, it’s just crazy.” Source
Awww, total sweetness!
Welcome Back to American Idol, Danny?
Mar 25th
Resurrect your love of purple hair streaks and strutting because Danny Noriega just may be going on tour with American Idol if the rumors are true about the show implementing their “wild card” policy. Several American Idol message boards are “reporting” that on April 9th (the “Idol Gives Back” show), five booted semi-finalists will sing-it-out to compete for a slot on the American Idol tour. I’m not sure if by “semi-finalists” they mean those who belonged to the Top 24, or Top 16 or what, but I do know that if the producers were smart, i.e. adequately able to gauge the pulse of America, they’d bring back Danny . . . unless of course if his gig on Rosie O’Donell’s gay cruise next summer would conflict with a tour.
