30 Crazy Moments In Britney Spears’ Life In Honor Of Her 30th Birthday
So Britney Spears turned 30 today. Are we the only ones who feel ancient at this news? Hell, I remember bouncing around my room to “Oops… I Did It Again” in fourth grade. And yet it’s not too difficult to envision her as 30, since she’s lived several lifetimes thanks to her tumultuous relationships, mental/emotional instability, and ever-changing image from bubblegum pop girl to trashy hasbeen to somewhat-adjusted woman.
So much nonsense and soul-sucking sadness happened that you’d think her life was a reality show. Then she actually got a reality show. Here’s our roughly chronological journey through the high and low points of Britney’s personal life and career. More »

For the Last Time, There Are Not More People Voting for ‘American Idol’ Than for the President
Every year without fail, Ryan Seacrest tells the nation that more votes were cast for Idol than for the most recent presidential election. And every year without fail, a bunch of media outlets pick up this information and write hand-wringing editorials about how our country is doomed. But that assertion is stupid, and this is why.

Stanley Tucci Cast as Caesar Flickerman in ‘The Hunger Games’
Although I was holding out hope for him to play the sinister President Snow, I’m excited to see that Stanley Tucci will be part of the Hunger Games universe regardless. The actor has just signed on to play Capitol celebrity Caesar Flickerman, who conducts pre-Games interviews with each of the 24 tributes. (Think Ryan Seacrest, but with his hair, suit, and makeup dyed a new color each year.) More »
It’s Opposite Day with ‘The Hunger Games’ Casting!
Lionsgate continues to confound us with its casting choices for the March 2012 adaptation of The Hunger Games. Since this epic story comes to us in a book, each of the thousands of readers has a specific view of what each character should look like, yet you would think that there would be enough similarity for an actor to satisfy most fans. But instead, the movie’s casting directors seem to have chosen actors — Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson — who look the complete opposite from their characters’ physical descriptions. We’ve decided to help out and provide actors who may have the chops to play these characters, but look nothing like them. More »

Shocker: Kim Kardashian’s First Single, ‘Jam’ Totally Sucks
Oh Kim Kardashian, stick to what you’re good at — you know, reality TV, having a nice butt, and tweeting salad endorsements. Kim’s first single, “Jam,” which she admitted to Ryan Seacrest was “out of her comfort zone,” is laughably bad and nearly unlistenable. By which we mean: get ready for this to be the club hit of 2011! More »
American Idol: More Of A Sham Than We Thought?
In its tenth season now, FOX’s American Idol behemoth franchise has undeniably mastered the tricks of emotionally manipulating the audience. (See: this season’s contestant Chris Medina, the Detroit singer who has a fiancee in a wheelchair.)
Not all of the show’s tricks are apparent to the audience. And yet surprisingly few wannabe American Idols have dished about the behind the scenes happenings of auditioning to be on FOX’s hit show. But an anonymous blogger who calls herself “Maria Saint” has written a very interesting behind the scenes explanation of what goes down at an American Idol cattle call.
For starters, contestants are pre-sorted by talent before they even audition, there’s a fake Ryan Seacrest who does exit interviews, and the judges don’t actually see most of the wannabe singers perform. More »

5 Reasons Why Jessica Simpson Should Replace Ellen On ‘American Idol’
It’s a fact: Jessica Simpson is in talks with American Idol about joining the judges’ panel next season. She’s not going to replace Simon Cowell; she would, however, make a great replacement for Ellen DeGeneres, who is dead weight on a show being singlehandedly held together by the prodigious talents of Ryan Seacrest.
Here is why Jessica should replace Ellen:
1. Unofficial studies have shown that Idol fans really, really miss Paula Abdul. Paula, with her seal claps and glazed, medicated eyes,… More »
