It is on between the Beliebers and the Little Monsters. After Lady Gaga usurped Justin Bieber’s throne on Twitter this month, taking over as the most-followed person on that social networking service, a fan of the teenage sensation took to the Internet and – as excerpted by The New York Post – wrote: ” To all beliebers this is operation unfollow Lady Gaga. I’m sorry if your a ‘little monster’ but don’t [you] want Justin to be #1 followed on Twitter?” As a result of this campaign, the hastag #OperationUnfollowGaga has sprung up on Twitter. Naturally, Lady Gaga’s followers aren’t on board with this plan. One Tweeted it to be “pathetic.” And what are the current standings? Bieber – who released a new single this week – checks in at 19,115,097 million followers. Lady Gaga has him beat at 21,813,419. It’s now time for you to take a side. What are you, readers?
The singers are expected to return to the top five next week, the first time they’ve been chart mates in 26 years. By Gil Kaufman Madonna on cover of True Blue and Lionel Richie on cover of Dancing on the Ceiling Photo: Sire/ Motown America was still four years away from the first of three wars in the Middle East, Lady Gaga was a newborn, and the Internet was just a twinkle in the eye of some academic nerds’ coke-bottle glasses. That’s how long it’s been since Madonna and Lionel Richie were both in the top five of the Billboard 200 chart at the same time. The year was 1986, and Richie was riding high with his smash #1 album, Dancing on the Ceiling, while Madge was at #5 with her former #1, True Blue. Next week the pair will be chart mates again, as Madonna’s dance-tastic MDNA is predicted to sell between 300,000 and 350,000 copies to take the top spot, while Richie’s album of country re-workings of his biggest hits, Tuskegee, should land at #2 on sales of 125,000 to 150,000. Back in the day, both were celebrating the release of their third album. Madonna dedicated her “girliest” work to date to her then-husband, actor Sean Penn, even as she began delving into more topical songs (“Papa Don’t Preach”) and Latin rhythms (“La Isla Bonita”). For an artist who’d already ascended to pop stardom with her first two discs, True Blue was a chance for Madonna to expand her fanbase, and though it debuted at #28, it eventually reached #1, where it stayed for five weeks. Among the singles released from the album are “Live to Tell,” the title track and “Open Your Heart.” It went on to sell more than 25 million copies worldwide. For Richie, it was also a time of transition. The former Commodores singer — who was born in Tuskegee, Alabama — had scored some hits on his first two solo albums, including “My Love,” the Caribbean-spiced “All Night Long,” “Hello” and “Running With the Night.” While Madonna continues to be one of the biggest live draws in the world and a global superstar, Dancing on the Ceiling marked the beginning of the end of Richie’s mass popularity. But, the famously well-coiffed singer went out with a huge bang. Not only was the title cut a #1 single and hugely popular video, but the album also spawned the moving ballad “Say You, Say Me,” as well as “Love Will Conquer All” and “Ballerina Girl.” While Madonna continued to crank out hit albums such as Like a Prayer, Erotica and Bedtime Stories, it would be 10 years before Richie was back on the charts. His Louder Than Words came out in April 1996, debuting at #33 and not spawning any memorable hits. Against the usual pop music odds, Madonna is still launching singles onto the charts, recently played the most coveted gig in music — the Super Bowl halftime show — and has collaborated with modern stars like Nicki Minaj. Richie has been lower-profile, but served a well-received stint as a guest mentor on the second-biggest reality music competition on TV, “The Voice,” and he roped in such big-name country stars as Kenny Chesney, Shania Twain, Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles, Blake Shelton, Willie Nelson and old pal Kenny Rogers.

I’m not sure if any of you were looking for pictures of a pregnant celebrity hosing herself down in a swimsuit, but this is happening. Here’s Uma Thurman on vacation on a yacht somewhere hosing herself down in a stretched out one piece bathing suit. I normally enjoy big old pregnancy boobs as much as the next guy, but this isn’t exactly my cup of tea. That being said, I know the internet is filled with people into all kinds of strange things so this is for them. Enjoy. I didn’t even know she was preggers… At least I hope she’s pregnant. Gross.
A couple of weeks ago there was a scandal that inolvede Hayden Panettiere and some child sex ring, a story that was possibly fake, but that blew over without comment from any of the people who were involved….because let’s face it….the real child whore is this Kendall Jenner bitch… Truth is that it was probably bullshit, and even if it wasn’t, that shit’s gonna be covered up hard. All the freaks in Hollywood who you know are in Hollywood will kill people off to keep that kind of shit underwraps….unless of course that garbage human is the Kardashian mom, who like all child pimps, encourages her daughters to be whores in sex tapes, bikinis, scandals, or whatever it is cuz shit makes them money, makes them feel relevant, makes them feel important, and probably gets them meals comped at restaurants, amongst other perks of being a loud, obnoxious, useless bunch of trash….. So you can assume she’s behind her teen daughter putting up pics of herself in a bikini on the internet…something normal parents would try to avoid…for obvious fucking reasons…..reasons that Kris Jenner doesn’t care will stain her kids and leave them drug addicted in a fucking ditch….but thanks to her hard work…with enough money to pull them out into their life of damaged, full of baggage….that just happens to be luxury Louis Vuitton…..the fucked up rich….a breed of their own….that I like to fuck. Here’s her pic. I approve of this message: LIKE US ON FACEBOOK EVEN IF YOU DON’T LIKE US
When Bobby Brown was arrested this week on suspicion of DUI, few people were surprised. It wasn’t exactly the singer’s first arrest. Among those who saw another run in with the law coming for this New Edition members? Cissy Houston, the mother of Whitney who has been telling everyone in her circle that Bobby is a bad influence on 19-year old granddaughter Bobbi Kristina. Sources tell TMZ Cissy feels “vindicated” by the arrest and hopes the incident helps her case: that Brown should “keep his distance” from his child, who has been going through a great deal of turmoil since her mom’s passing last month. Referring to her dad, one insider says: “This is the last person she needs to be around.” It doesn’t sound like Bobbi will need much convincing. Rumors state that the teenager is hoping to change her last name in the near future in order to separate herself as much as possible from her law-breaking parent. [Photo: WENN.com]
Octomom’s topless photo shoot in Closer Magazine , which hit the Internet yesterday, didn’t exactly impress Steve Hirsch of Vivid Entertainment fame. From a business perspective at least. Yes, the Octomom nude pics were eye-opening from a certain standpoint, but Hirsch can’t believe how much she just lowered her XXX market value. Hirsch, if you recall, offered Octo (a.k.a. Nadya Suleman) $1 MILLION in 2009 to star in a movie with his company. She shot that offer down hard. Ditto the $500,000 offer he made her in 2010 for ONE SCENE. The point of all this ? Closer allegedly paid her a modest 10 grand for the nude pics. Citing a “market correction,” yet intrigued by Nadya’s sudden willingness to get naked, Hirsch is making her another offer to join the Vivid ranks. The deal: $100,000 to appear in THREE hardcore sex scenes. A million bucks was so ’09. “Regrettably your market value has diminished,” he says. She might be desperate enough to strip down to pay rent, but nude stills are a far cry from getting probed on video. Don’t hold your breath Steve.
The leak of George Zimmerman’s statement to police have shed new light on the Trayvon Martin case, along with accusations of bias against the media and public. Until Tuesday, the case had been framed from Martin’s standpoint, which is certainly understandable to a point, as he was unarmed when he was shot and killed. However, Zimmerman’s defense depicts Trayvon not as an unsuspecting youngster chased by an armed vigilante, but as a violent aggressor who left him no choice. Some commentators point to Zimmerman’s story as evidence that the media and public have been too quick to lay blame in a case that has gripped the nation. Zimmerman’s claim that he was jumped and beaten to the point where he shot Martin in self-defense seems dubious, especially if a dispatcher told him not to pursue the boy. Nevertheless, he hasn’t been charged with a crime. You wouldn’t know it by the mug shot, taken after a previous arrest, circulated by the media for the last month – most times, next to a five-year-old photo of Martin. The contrast of the above images has indirectly but significantly shaped the way the sensationalized case is framed, turning the 17-year-old into an innocent martyr. Martin’s tragic death has sparked important public debate over racial profiling, gun laws and other broad social issues. Yet the media tends to sell a single narrative. Consider how the following photos might portray the case instead: Do a smiling Zimmerman in a suit and tie, or a current photo of Martin with fake gold teeth change your perception of either party involved? Probably at least a little. Stories such as President Obama’s remarks or the “Million Hoodie March” get enormous attention and make the public fall in love with the idealized version of Martin. The fact of the matter is, though, they have little to do with the case. Police in Sanford, Fla., deserve to be under scrutiny for their decision not to arrest Zimmerman, but the April 10 grand jury investigation also needs to play itself out. The truth, as is so often the case, won’t be found easily. It almost unavoidably lies among a thousand shades of grey in a case of great complexity and magnitude. By oversimplifying it and/or turning into an entertainment form, the media and public fail to honor both the deceased’s memory and the accused’s right to due process. You tell us: Is there media bias in the Trayvon Martin case?
Apparently Alicia Silverstone chews food and regurgitates it into her 10-month-old son’s mouth to nourish him. We know because she posted a video of this. Alicia posted the video on her blog this weekend – well played once again, Internet – claiming it’s her “favorite” way to feed her son Bear Blu (his real name). “He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating,” she says, without offering an explanation of why she engages in this behavior. Enjoy: Alicia Silverstone Feeds Baby Is Alicia just trying to spare Bear Blu the arduous task of chewing? Does she believe there is some other health benefit to this? We may never know. As for what they’re eating, Alicia’s a staunch vegan and is raising her son to be too, so we’re guessing it’s some delish soy tofu thing PETA hearts her for.
During Tim Tebow’s press conference today, my friend Rohit messaged me “someone needs to cut together all the times he says how ‘excited’ he is” and I agreed, but before I lifted a finger to actually do anything, I thought to myself, there’s no way someone on the internet isn’t already doing that. Surely enough, I let Internet take the wheel, and shortly after Tebow’s press conference concluded, this… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : VH1’s Today In Music Discovery Date : 26/03/2012 20:11 Number of articles : 3
