Taylor Swift Celebrates Birthday With CMT’s Artists Of The Year

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Swift, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum and Brad Paisley are honored at the show, which premieres tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Swift Photo: CMT Taylor Swift turned 22 on Tuesday (December 13), and what better way to celebrate another banner year than with CMT’s Artists of the Year special? CMT caught up with Swift on the red carpet of the event, and she opened up about being honored alongside fellow Nashville pals Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum and Brad Paisley. “What I love about this event is it feels very low-key and fun and you can bring your friends, you sit at a table. It’s very unlike any other award show,” she said late last month at the taping in Music City. “Because you’re not sitting there wondering who’s going to win. There’s no anxiety, because you know who’s being honored, and it’s all about hearing the way the music is presented by other artists. It’s really exciting.” The All-American Rejects were picked to perform one of Taylor’s tracks at the show, which airs on CMT at 9 p.m. ET tonight. For their homage to the country superstar, they decided to take one of her particularly country-tinged Speak Now singles and do it up AAR style. “It’s special. We have a special performance for Miss Taylor Swift,” lead singer Tyson Ritter said. “We’re performing her song ‘Mean.’ We definitely sort of took a country song and made it not anything like what it was. It’s going to be a tribute to the fact that any song can stand in any genre, and we definitely brought it into ours. We’re like the Osmonds, except we’re the side that’s a little more rock and roll.” Ritter went on to gush about Swift and her work ethic. “She’s the real deal,” he explained. “She doesn’t take sh– from anybody while she does it. And strong women, that’s something to be feared and adored, right?” Having the All-American Rejects put their stamp on a track is the opposite of what Swift did on her Speak Now Tour . Stop after stop, she reimagined songs from artists like T.I. , Flo Rida and Usher, with the artists themselves right by her side. “I would sum up this past year as being a spontaneous, exciting, wonderful year of collaborations with artists I never expected would come up on my stage and perform for my fans,” she explained. “I see flashbacks of stadium shows and Usher coming out on stage and James Taylor coming out onstage and all these different artists coming out and playing with me, which was an amazing time for me.” Don’t miss CMT’s Artists of the Year , premiering tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Scary News Of The Day: Poll Shows That Obama Might Not Get Re-Elected!

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Dear Lord, what would we do if Obama lost the election?! Less than one year out from Election Day 2012, voters remain overwhelmingly pessimistic about the economy, and their concerns are taking a toll on President Obama’s re-election chances. Just 41 percent of Americans think Mr. Obama has performed his job well enough to be elected to a second term, whereas 54 percent don’t think so. The president’s overall approval rating remains in the mid-40′s, according to a CBS News poll – lower than the approval ratings of Mr. Obama’s four presidential predecessors at this point in their first terms. Mr. Obama’s approval rating is dragged down by his poor marks for his handling of the economy – which, at 33 percent, is the lowest rating of his presidency in CBS News polls. Mr. Obama receives better marks on foreign policy and for his leadership skills. But when it comes to leading the economy in the right direction, voters are unimpressed: Just 28 percent think he has made progress on improving the economy. And most Americans say the president doesn’t share the public’s priorities, according to the poll, conducted December 5-7. This absolutely scares us thinking about the possibility of someone like Rick Perry running this country?! Jesus please lay your hands on the wheel and make this right! Source More On Bossip!

Pure Comedy: Derek Jeter Has Been Ho-Hopping So Hard He Sends These Broads Home With Parting Gifts

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This dude needs to re-write the “How To Be A Player” guide… Word on the street is that Derek Jeter has been so busy knocking down broads since breaking up with Minka Kelly that he can’t even keep track of which ones he’s already hit. Apparently Jeter offended one of his jumpies after giving her the same parting gift he hooked her up with before — AUTOGRAPHED DEREK JETER MEMORABILIA!!!! Hilarious. From Page Six : Yankees star Derek Jeter, one of New York’s most eligible hunks since his split with longtime gal pal Minka Kelly, is bedding a bevy of beauties in his Trump World Tower bachelor pad — and then coldly sending them home alone with gift baskets of autographed memorabilia. The Yankees captain’s wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am kiss-offs came to light when he mistakenly pulled the stunt twice on the same woman — forgetting she had been an earlier conquest, a pal told The Post. “Derek has girls stay with him at his apartment in New York, and then he gets them a car to take them home the next day. Waiting in his car is a gift basket containing signed Jeter memorabilia, usually a signed baseball,” the friend dished. “This summer, he ended up hooking up with a girl who he had hooked up with once before, but Jeter seemed to have forgotten about the first time and gave her the same identical parting gift, a gift basket with a signed Derek Jeter baseball,” the pal said. “He basically gave her the same gift twice because he’d forgotten hooking up with her the first time!” Jeter, who fiercely guards his privacy to protect his All-American image and multimillion-dollar marketability, split with the gorgeous actress Kelly this summer and has been playing the field ever since. The veteran shortstop usually shies away from the limelight, preferring stay-at-home parties with a tight circle of trusted friends. “He normally doesn’t go out with girls. He will have them come to his house. He’ll have cocktail parties. His friends invite girls they think he’ll be interested in. He’s very shy,” another friend explained. “He’ll occasionally take girls to a restaurant. He has a couple of restaurants that he goes to that aren’t trendy,” the friend said. “He goes to Nino’s in New York. He used to go to Mustang Grill on the Upper East Side. I know he’s been dating multiple girls. He likes a hole in the wall, or he likes a place that his friends own. He’s very cautious. He’ll only go out on off-nights,” the friend said. Afterward, Jeter sneaks the beauties home for some heavy hitting. “The girls go through the back-door entrance in the Trump World Tower to avoid the paparazzi,” the pal said. “He broke up with Minka in the summer and is definitely over her. He is playing the field.” And while the parting gift may seem cold, signed Jeter memorabilia sell like hotcakes on the Internet, with an autographed baseball fetching hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Neither the Yankees nor Jeter’s reps immediately returned messages for comment. Wait, so this broad not only got chopped down by Derek Jeter twice, she also got two of his autographed balls that she can sell for thousands and she’s complaining??? SMH! These broads ought to count themselves lucky if all they took home was autographed balls. After all the Hollyweird tail Jeter has chopped down we’d be surprised they didn’t get some other kind of “parting gift.” More On Bossip!

Its probably safe to say that 09/10/11 was the BEST DAY OF MY…

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Its probably safe to say that 09/10/11 was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. I’ve been trying to meet Justin for years and I finally got my chance when he came to Brazil with the My World Tour. Of course, I flew to São Paulo to go to his concert. But before that, I joined BieberFever.com’s Meet & Greet competition. Basically what I had to do was promote BieberFever.com. I gave it a shot and made my video, but I never thought I had a chance to win. I submitted my video, and when I was in the airport I received their e-mail saying I won. Words can’t describe how I felt at that moment.  We went to São Paulo and I went to get my Meet & Greet bracelets so I could meet him. In the e-mail they sent me, they told me there would be bracelets at the box-office. Turns out, it wasn’t in the box-office, but in one of the stadium gates. I didn’t know that, so I went to every single box-office, and no one knew what I was talking about. I talked to Justin’s team, to people organizing the concert… (no joke, I talked to about 50 different people) and no one helped me. Finally, I found a lady that was organizing the Meet & Greet, and she said she was going to look if my name was in the list. It started to rain so much and she took really long. My friends and I waited about an hour, soaking in the rain, for her to come back. I was almost losing all my hope when I finally saw her. She told me the Meet & Greet had finished, but she gave me 5 free tickets to go to the second São Paulo concert again and go to the Meet & Greet then.  So, I went again. I was in the line waiting to meet him (I even met Cobra Starship) and it was about 4:45 pm when I entered the same room Justin Drew Bieber was in. Usually they take photos with groups of 5 and the lady wanted me to take a picture with random people I don’t know. I refused and I took so long to enter the room, that by the time I was in the room, Justin had finished taking the photo with the other girls. So there I was. My chin dropped, and I froze. Justin looked at me and gave a half-smile, and I was soo nervous. I went to him and put my arms around his waist and he put his arm on my shoulder. I couldn’t feel my legs, I was almost fainting. My other friends that I took with me finally entered the room to take the picture. We took the picture, and I had no idea what to do after, so I just stood there. My friend asked him for a hug, so everyone entered and we all kind of had a group hug.  It was the best moment of my life. I even think I stepped on his foot! Haha, way to be remembered. Then, Kenny told us to leave because there were more people in the line. I watched his concert for the second time, but this time it was completely different. I thought that I would NEVER meet Justin, but he taught me to Never Say Never and to follow my dreams, so I did. I learned that no matter how down you can be, you can be losing your hope, but destiny will find its way. I wake up everyday with a smile on my face because now I know that I met my inspiration, the one person that keeps me going every single day. I met Justin Drew Bieber. Being a Belieber taught me so many things. I don’t doubt anything anymore, so wherever you are, no matter how low the chances are, if you dream big and follow your dreams, you’ll get there. NEVER SAY NEVER!   -@moniquegentz  Read the original post: Its probably safe to say that 09/10/11 was the BEST DAY OF MY…

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar Name Late, Unborn Daughter; Memorial Planned For Wednesday

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After the miscarriage of their 20th child last week, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar announced that they will hold a memorial service on Wednesday, December 14. They’ve also given the baby girl a name: Jubilee Shalom Duggar. The stars of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting discovered at a routine ultrasound that the child, due next April, no longer had a heartbeat and Michelle had miscarried. “We have had many tears today,” says Jim Bob Duggar , 46. “This is life, and I understand that we are going though something that many others have.” “You think about the what-ifs, but God gives us strength to go on. We won’t be able to see this child’s life and the phases we’ve seen for our other children.” “But we will see this child in heaven one day. We are thankful, and we are blessed to have the children we have here and the ones we will meet someday.” Jim Bob says they are grateful for the health of youngest daughter, Josie, who turned 2 on December 10, and who has endured serious health problems. Jubilee Duggar’s memorial service will be for their friends and the Duggar family members, who already held a private service in their home late Sunday. Should the Duggars try again for baby #20?

In the Digital Short below, the adorable-looking singer and Andy Samberg become best friends for the holidays in a display of festive cheer and camaraderie. The joy of caring and friendship is so profound for these two that a hobo and a lunatic – Matt Damon and Val Kilmer – are even welcomed into their holiday posse.

Snooki The ‘Same Person,’ Despite ‘Jersey Shore’ Fame

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Pint-size guidette lands at #3 on MTV News’ Top 50 TV Characters of 2011. By Jocelyn Vena Snooki Photo: Sonia Recchia/ WireImage Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is America’s favorite self-proclaimed “meatball.” As one of the tanned, colorful stars of “Jersey Shore,” Snooki has charmed America with her devil-may-care attitude, her search for love and her ability to put guys in their place without flinching thanks to her scrappy attitude. This year, Snooki traveled the globe with her “Shore” pals, taking their visa-revoking-worthy antics to Italy. Come 2012, the crew will be back home in Seaside Heights , where they’ll once again GTL their way through parties and drama for season five of the hit MTV show. Snooki also appears in the highly anticipated “Three Stooges” flick , due in the spring. Sure, it’s hard not to love everyone on “Jersey Shore,” but in 2011, Snooki proved she’s more than just a small-screen sensation. She became an author, pistachio spokesperson and mini-mogul, putting her name on a variety of products ranging from slippers to perfume. She also sits at #3 on our list of the Top 50 TV Characters of 2011 . See our Top 50 TV Characters of 2011, 50 to 41, including a masked bachelor and dashing novelist/crime-fighter. MTV News got on the phone with Snooki on Friday (December 9) to talk about her whirlwind 12 months. MTV : You landed at #3 on our list of favorite TV characters! As you reflect back on 2011, what was your favorite moment? Snooki : Oh, cool! Great! I would probably say Wrestlemania [back in March]. It was really fun to be in the ring and just doing back flips. See our Top 50 TV Characters of 2011, 40 to 31, including a “hootie hoo!”-hollering chef and funnyman talk-show host. MTV : We are very close to the next season of “Jersey Shore.” The trailer came out this week, and there’s a lot of crazy stuff in there. What was your reaction to the trailer? Snooki : Kind of like with every season, just memories. They’re gonna be excited to see us back in Seaside. Check out our Top 50 TV Characters of 2011, 30-21, including a depressed meth cook and a football coach with a heart of gold. MTV : Watching the trailer, there seems to be some situations between you and the Situation. Can you talk a little bit about what’s happening between the two of you? Snooki : We can’t really give it away; it’s just our relationship and how it progresses, whether it be really good or really bad [with the Situation]. Check out our Top 50 TV Characters, 20-11, featuring a sword-wielding 9-year-old and a Trouble Tones teen. MTV : As we look forward to 2012, what are you most looking forward to in the next phase of your life? Snooki : I’m just really excited about my brand and all my products that are coming out. I definitely want to brand myself and have a big line of things. So I’m really excited about that. MTV : When the “Three Stooges” trailer came out this week, “Shore” fans were surprised to see you and JWoww at the end. Can you talk about your part in the film? Snooki : We’re pretty much playing ourselves, like what you see on “Jersey Shore.” So it was pretty easy just to be yourself. I definitely want to do more movies like that. We [Snooki and her “Jersey Shore” castmates] went to L.A. for four days. I’ve seen [the original], when it was in black-and-white and stuff like that. It was fun to be on set. Don’t miss our Top 10 Characters of 2011, including a Parks & Rec boss and a real daughter of New Jersey. MTV : As we reflect and look forward, what’s it like to be Snooki right now? Snooki : I’m still just the same person that I was before everything happened. I’m still the same person. Obviously, there’s a lot more opportunities that we get to do, but I’m still the same person. When I’m not doing the stuff with the show or promoting myself, I’m still just hanging out with my friends and doing the same stuff. The fifth season of “Jersey Shore” premieres Thursday, January 5, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. For continuing “Shore” coverage, be sure to check in with MTV’s Remote Control blog.
