A new interview of Chris Brown will air on Larry King Live later this week, and it really brings to light some of the things people have wanted to know about the musician. Like, for example, how he doesn’t remember the time he beat up his girlfriend Rihanna to within inches of death. Or how—probably because he doesn’t remember beating her—he still loves her. We don’t support Chris Brown because we saw Rihanna’s mangled face, but we do think it’s important to give everyone, even bad guys, a second chance. (more…)

Ah, print media. Your death is slow and current. You used to provide us with meaningful news without the human interest or the celebrity gossip that sells. But clearly, you overestimated the attention span of the American public. Now that sound bites and status updates are replacing news, perhaps you are looking back on the rags and mags of your age that have been pandering to the people since the days before information technology. Who Wore it Better? You should have been all over it when you had the chance. (more…)

In the great scheme of things, getting on a reality show won’t likely lead to lasting fame or notoriety. However, murdering your ex-Playmate stripper wife and escaping to Canada on foot AFTER getting on a reality show might be more effective. We know this thanks to Ryan Alexander Jenkins, the millionaire contestant on VH1’s Megan Wants A Millionaire who is now a prime suspect in the murder of his ex-Playmate stripper wife Jasmine Fiore.

Jenkins was last seen in a remote northern area of Washington, where he abandoned his BMW SUV (sweet repo auction ahead!) and a small boat and probably went to Canada on foot. Authorities from both sides of the border have been unsuccessful in locating this shining example of American pop culture, but the manhunt is ongoing.

14 seconds may not be a very long time in the grand scheme of things, but if utilized the right way, those handful of ticks on the clock are long enough to change the world as we know it. Today, that 14 second miracle occurred for those “Twilight” Fans out there patiently waiting for “New Moon,” the next installment of the vampire saga, to be released.

If you blink twice, the clip will be over, but listen carefully because you don’t want to miss A-Lister Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan deliver the amazingly profound line that will surely win her an Oscar, “you’re sorta beautiful.” So what’s the real icing on this vamp-clip?: Press pause at exactly the :08 marker. Girls (and a few guys) - you’ll thank me later.

After 20 years, 10 studio albums and dozens of hits loved in two isolated regions of the United States, country duo Brooks and Dunn have decided to call it quits. By the way, the Brooks in Brooks and Dunn isn’t Garth Brooks. Isn’t that weird? This whole time, I totally thought it was. Oh well, it doesn’t matter now. (more…)

“Maybe she’s a herm…” – Jack Black, Saving Silverman

No, Jack Black was not referring to Lady Gaga in the above quote, but were he to be asked about her in an interview, one might guess that he would reprise it. After all, the social web has been all atwitter this week with rumors regarding Lady Gaga’s sexuality.

On Friday, a new video hit the web, purportedly ‘proving’ the singer is not without penis. Along with the video, an ancient blog allegedly written by the star herself also ‘proves’ the existence of multiple naughty bits under her pleather skirt. “Its not something that I’m ashamed of, just isn’t something that I go around telling everyone. Yes. I have both male and female genitalia, but I consider myself a female.” According to the ‘Poker Face’ singer’s publicist, the claims are “ridiculous” - but we’ve seen the video, and the jury is clearly still out.

About five-sevenths of those in the proper age range to be referred to as “Teens” may not have the right to vote, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be blessed with the burden of choice. What better way to bestow upon the adolescent population their very own right to choose by giving them an award show in which they basically tell you what you already knew they liked. Yes, everyone who induces shrieking in those between the ages of 13 and 19 was on hand to be honored at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards, a shocking ceremony held at the Gibson Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night. The kids let their ballots (or however they vote) do the obsessed, high-pitched wailing that only dogs can hear. As soon as Lassie got the message loud and clear that the kids thought enough of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s performance in their light-hearted, not-at-all brooding, good-time vampire romp, Twilight, that they saw fit to award them both for it. The film went on to snag 11 awards in total.

Meanwhile, the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus surprised everyone by taking home five and six awards respectively, possibly in the music category or maybe just in the cute boyz and girlz department. The show also saw the aforementioned acts separately involved in two of the most beguiling moments in world pop culture history. (more…)
