    TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!!

    September 13, 2009 /

    Tonight is one of my favorite nights of the year! The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards kick off at 9pm Eastern. Be there as Lady GaGa, Cobra Starship, Beyonce and possibly Britney Spears take the stage. And tonight will also feature a once in a lifetime tribute to Michael Jackson by none other than his sister, Janet. This is your warning not to miss the event. And if you do, I’ll have all the highlights here tomorrrow.

    It’s Confirmed! Idol has a new judge!

    September 10, 2009 /

    It has been confirmed that Ellen DeGeneres will be the official new judge on the new season of American Idol. She made the announcement yesterday that she will be joining the judges panel as the voice of the people when the show premieres in January. I wonder how her and Simon will get along, it’s definitely not going to be as catty as Paula’s antics. Check out Ellen making the announcement below: What do you think of this decision? Is Ellen the right choice?

    She CAN sing…sometimes!

    September 7, 2009 /

    For the first time during The Circus Starring Britney Spears Tour, Ms. Spears took the mic…and sang! And guess what folks? It was awesome! When the pop starlet took the stage in Greensboro, NC last night, Brit-Brit sang a cover of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know”. It rocked and I wish I would have been there to see it. The bad news: I wasn’t there. The good news: Based on the past few months of great Britney appearances, it looks like she’s got her swagger and confidence back and is ready to throw down. I can’t wait for the next tour, hoping she will do even more of her live,…

    Only A Matter Of Time

    September 3, 2009 /

    So, it’s here! I got a first listen to Carrie Underwood’s new single, “Cowboy Casanova”, which I absolutely loved!! The song, an uptempo-foot stomper, will sure to be the hottest song of the fall. On Underwood’s previous two albums, she has released ballads as her lead singles, while this time she definitely shows off her inner Shania and pulls out a showstopper. Carrie, the current ACM Entertainer Of The Year, is gunning for that top stop again and she may just have it on lock with this new album. It is definitely shaping up to be one of excellence. And considering she is releasing it a day after my birthday…

    August 31, 2009 /

    Carrie Underwood unveiled the cover and title to her 3rd album, due out November 3rd – a week before she co-hosts the Country Music Awards with Brad Paisley. The album, titled Play On, is going to be produced by Mark Bright, who produced her previous efforts Carnival Ride and her debut, Some Hearts, which has been certified 7x platinum and is the best selling debut album from a female country singer in history. Underwood has been working with some great writers for this new album and it should be interesting to see how it all comes together. It seems the album may take a stab at more crossover hits, with…

    She’s Back

    August 26, 2009 /

    It looks like Britney will be back at The VMA’s this year – no word whether she’s performing or presenting, but it’s very exciting that the Pop Goddess will return. And last year she made a hilarious promo spot with Russell Brand indicating the “elephant in the room” and she’s done it again. First Letterman, now this…seems like Brit-Brit is back!

    Britney Spears stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman tonight to do the famous Top Ten list. The theme for tonight’s show was “The Top 10 ways the country would be different if Britney Spears was President”. It was hilarious and I am glad to see Britney looking more and more like the girl we once we knew. Check it out, but beware it may cause extreme laughter. Three words: Vice President Diddy!

    You might remember my post a couple months ago to a good friend, Ben James, regarding his bachelor party in Vegas. And now, cut to August in a blink of an eye, it’s time…the two crazy kids have decided to get married. Megan McCormick, my long time friend and business partner, and Ben will be wed this Saturday in Breckenridge, Colorado. I’ll be there to see the whole thing go down. As Ben and Meg make each other sob over their delicately written vows, Katers dances the night away to her favorite party jam, and Forsyth shovels cupcakes into his mouth as if no one is watching, I will be…

We love, love, love it, but hope the DVD shows less up close and more full production because otherwise fans won’t get to see the masterful show that is The Circus Starring Britney Spears Tour!
