    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!

    President Spears

    August 19, 2009 /

    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!

    Already Gone…Again

    August 14, 2009 /

    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…

    The Circus HD

    August 13, 2009 /

    Check out this incredible video of the opening of The Circus Tour, leading us to believe a DVD is on its way. 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!

    Judges Speak Out

    August 12, 2009 /

    In Denver, the remaining Idol judges spoke out, for the first time about Paula Abdul’s choice to not come back to the show. Simon, sad? Who would have thought that’d be the case. Plus, Victoria Beckham joins the bunch to fill in and shows off some nerves. Oh, how we love her!

    Britney Spears arrived at the Teen Choice Awards yesterday to accept her award for “The Ultimate Choice”. We know what you’re thinking, and you’re right – no one knows what the award is actually for, but we’re glad she showed up. She definitely is looking healthy and happy.

    Tell Me Lies

    August 9, 2009 /

    Friday, American Idol took over Good Morning America as David Cook, Kris Allen, and Adam Lambert took the stage for various performances. To cap off the Idol-filled show, the trio sang the Fleetwood Mac classic “Little Lies”. It’s always interesting to see various Idols sing together – you really get a sense of who’s truly the best singers. In this case, David Cook definitely takes the cake. What do you think?

    Denver is so Posh

    August 8, 2009 /

    It’s official! Our beloved Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham has arrived in Denver to fill in as a guest judge in the place of Paula Abdul. From the moment the Beck beauty stepped off the plane at DIA (Denver’s International Airport), she lit up the city in her very posh, purple dress. All the judges – Randy, Kara, Simon and even Ryan are here for the official Idol auditions. A production insider has said that Beckham was trying “too hard to be nice”, and with her dry sense of humor it came off “icy and wooden”, which didn’t go over well with the contestants who were already bummed to come to…

    Update

    August 7, 2009 /

    We reported this morning that Britney Spears would put on a rare televised performance at The Teen Choice Awards this weekend (to air on Monday), but it seems that even though the 30 promo spot (below) says she’s performing, that may not be the case. It is now being reported that Ms. Spears will be accepting a “special” award for all of her accomplishments rather than perform. That seems a little misleading and we’re not loving it. MTV also announced that they have not officially finalized a Spears performance for this September’s VMA’s. What is going on?? We need Brit-Brit back on TV!! In the meantime, we can’t help but…

    Teen Choice, My Choice

    August 7, 2009 /

    The Teen Choice Awards, airing Monday, August 10th, will feature performances by Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Sean Kingston, and Black Eyed Peas. While those were all predictable and obvious choices for the awards telecast, we can’t wait for the debut performance of “Good Girls Go Bad” by Cobra Starship and Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl‘s Blair), as well as Britney Spears’ confirmed performance. I was a little shocked they didn’t hold out for the VMA’s, but Teen Choice will do. But, it doesn’t mean MTV won’t pimp her performance on the VMA’s out to be the “most exciting return to television”! We know she’ll knock ’em dead at the TCA, but…
