Jennifer Lopez Latest Celeb To Enlist Fan Feedback On The Net

J. Lo is letting you choose ending of her ‘On the Floor’ video, joining growing list of stars who have also left decisions to fans. By James Dinh Jennifer Lopez Photo: Jeffrey Mayer/ Getty Images Jennifer Lopez is set to drop her dance-tastic video for “On the Floor” in less than a week, and she’s letting her fans choose how the Taj Stansberry-directed clip ends. On Thursday, Lopez visited Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show to announce that she’d be giving her fans the option to pick between two 15-to-20-second alternate endings , with the final cut airing during the March 3 “American Idol” broadcast at 8 p.m. ET/PT. “You get to do what I do,” J. Lo said during “On-Air With Ryan Seacrest.” “Like, I go in there with my videos and I start editing and picking all the shots I like and the things that I like and what I feel the best kind of feeling for the record is. You guys get to do that. We picked two different ones and we weren’t sure.” Lopez joins a list of stars, who have also maintained an interactive relationship with fans in order to get feedback on everything from song selection to tour set lists and promotional appearances. Katy Perry’s “E.T.” Single Back in December, Katy took to Twitter to ask fans what they thought should be the next single off her smash Teenage Dream. Shortly after, the pop star thanked fans for their suggestions, admitting that she agreed with the majority of them. Fast-forward two months as Katy selected the futuristic tune “E.T.” as to be the fourth release off her sophomore effort, and adding Kanye West into the mix. Bon Jovi’s Concert Set List When Bon Jovi teamed up with YouTube for a special concert show last year, the rockers were set on giving fans complete control. Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi recorded a video message, which was appropriately uploaded onto the site, asking fans to send in their song suggestions via text or video entry. And as expected, the group performed signature hits, including “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “It’s My Life” during the concert event. Janet Jackson’s Tour Dates Scheduling a tour can be difficult for busy artists, especially when there are so many cities to cover. However, that’s not the case with Janet Jackson’s upcoming world tour , for which she allowed fans vote on the cities where they’d most like to see her perform. The pop icon eventually selected a slew of dates based on fan submissions and they’ll get to hear her perform songs from her greatest-hits album, Number Ones. Rolling Stone Cover It’s not only stars who request fan feedback: Rolling Stone magazine is letting fans choose 1 of 16 unsigned bands to grace their coveted front cover, they announced last week. Through a tournament-style competition, fans will submit votes until the last two bands are standing. From there, the finalists will compete in an onstage battle of the bands that will determine who gets the cover and a recording contract from Atlantic Records. Betty White’s ‘SNL’ Facebook Campaign As Betty White’s popularity skyrocketed in recent years, so did the demand for her onscreen appearances, including admirers who wanted her to score a gig on “Saturday Night Live.” After an overwhelming Facebook campaign to have the then-88-year-old actress host the late-night sketch comedy show, White finally took the “SNL” stage and gave viewers what they wanted. With the help of White, “SNL” alums like Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph, and musical guest Jay-Z, the show earned its best numbers in more than 18 months. What artist do you think communicates best with their fans? Tell us in the comments!

Betty White Calls SAG Award Win ‘The Biggest Surprise’

‘Hot in Cleveland’ star wins for outstanding female in a comedy series. By Aly Semigran Betty White onstage during the 2011 SAG Awards Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images The Screen Actors Guild most certainly still has nothing but love for Betty White. Last year’s Lifetime Achievement Award recipient took to the podium once again, this time for outstanding female in a comedy series for her work in “Hot in Cleveland.” A stunned-looking White — who bested the likes of odds-on favorites like Jane Lynch (“Glee”), Tina Fey (“30 Rock”) and Sofia Vergara (“Modern Family”) — received a standing ovation from her peers as she made her way to the stage, stopping to give a peck on the cheek to this year’s Lifetime recipient, Ernest Borgnine. Presenter Jon Hamm (“Mad Men”) assisted White up the steps to the stage, to which she joked, “They had to get the old broad up those stairs and that’s not easy! “I cannot believe this,” the always-crowd-pleasing White told the audience. The first-time SAG nominee — who has enjoyed a major Hollywood comeback over the past few years thanks to “Cleveland,” a “Saturday Night Live” hosting gig and the 2009 comedy “The Proposal” — said of her win Sunday night, “This [is] the biggest surprise I’ve ever had in this business.” White said she felt very lucky and happy to still be working at the age of 89. When the audience cheered her on, White quickly cracked back, “You didn’t applaud when I turned 40!” She then turned the focus of her speech to her “Cleveland” co-stars Jane Leeves, Valerie Bertinelli and Wendie Malick: “We can’t wait to go to work every day,” she said. White, who wore a charming blue dress and sequined jacket, said of the ensemble cast, “It sounds like a clich

JWoww Nude Pictures: Blocked By Judge Again!

Sorry, Tom Lippolis . Your naked photos of Jersey Shore star JWoww will remain under lock and key, at least temporarily, after a judge’s ruling late yesterday. A New York judge ruled that JWoww’s (Jenni Farley’s) ex-boyfriend has no legal right to distribute the images he’s been threatening to sell for weeks now. This upholds a previous ruling temporarily blocking Lippolis’ moves. Her lawyer argued that the JWoww nude photos he has were taken sans consent as she was “under effects of pre-surgical and post-surgical anesthesia.” Lippolis has argued that it was her idea and that JWoww was “always a willing participant and always gave consent” to the series of naked images. He also claimed that releasing the photos wouldn’t harm JWoww’s reputation, since she had previously “expressed her desires to pose in Playboy.” But for now, the judge sided with JWoww, which means the pics must stay off the market for the time being. We know you guys are so pissed. The case is scheduled for arbitration (seriously), where a final decision on the pictures will be made. You can bet both sides are lawyering up.

Betty White Named AP’s Entertainer Of The Year

‘They haven’t caught on to me, and I hope they never do,’ actress jokes about the honor. By Jocelyn Vena Betty White Photo: Brendan Hoffman/ Getty Images Lady Gaga topped Billboard and MTV News’ lists as the lady of the year . MTV News gave some love to Kanye West as well, while Sandra Bullock topped People ‘s list . Now the Associated Press is getting in on the year-end honors, and it has named Betty White its Entertainer of the Year. White had quite a remarkable 2010, hosting “Saturday Night Live” and starring in a highly rated sitcom, “Hot in Cleveland.” And she had everyone laughing at her awards-show appearances, which included a SAG win in January and an Emmy win in September. “It’s ridiculous,” White said of the AP ‘s honor. “They haven’t caught on to me, and I hope they never do.” In the past, entertainers including Taylor Swift, Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert have topped the list. White beat out the cast of “Glee” by two votes, placing them at #2. Conan O’Brien, James Cameron and Apple’s iPad all tied for #3. Jon Stewart came in after them. Ballots were cast by 102 representatives of the AP ‘s U.S. news organization members. They voted on who had “the most influence on the entertainment world and culture” this year. White gave “SNL” a ratings boost when she appeared on the show in May. In the days prior to her appearance, she revealed that she was looking forward to appearing on the show with Jay-Z . “I’m thrilled to meet him. I’m thrilled to hear he’s going to be on the show because he’s the hottest thing since sliced bread, but I certainly enjoy him. I hope we’ll get along well,” White said. “Yes, [I have listened to his music] … I have no idea [if we’ll work together]! But I’m game to try anything. This is an adventure!” White also showed her signature sass when she joked that she had no hard feelings toward Sandra Bullock, who chose to kiss Scarlett Johansson and not her at the MTV Movie Awards in June. “No! To each his own!” she joked. “Anywhere you’re near Sandra Bullock, you’re in good shape!” Related Videos 2010 In 60 Seconds
