Are You a Sexy Mama?

Nearly five days after she appeared on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” rocking a super sexy, barely-there catsuit, songstress Jennifer Lopez is still making headlines. “Sexy Mama!!” screamed one tabloid. “Hot Mama!” blared another. And then there was this one: “OVEREXPOSED!” declared a British newspaper.

Celebs at the Democratic Convention

Yesterday was the official kickoff of the Democratic National Convention in Colorado and the celebs turned out to support the party. Singer Sheryl Crow dedicated the song “Strong Enough” to presidential hopeful Barack Obama at last night’s concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater. She changed the lyrics to fit the occasion, singing “Are you strong enough to my man, or my president?” Crow told the Associated Press before the concert that she felt the Republican Party was responsible for the celebrity tag attached to Obama’s name, but said “I have yet to see him at any celebrity events.” Another musician on … Continue reading

Celebrity Moms Lending a Hand to Children of the World

Dogs living around a Staten Island, New York elementary school for autistic children must have gotten an earful yesterday when Jennifer Lopez made a surprise visit to perform for some unsuspecting students. Imagine the ear piercing screams that came from the auditorium where a group of 10- and 11-year-olds and their family members were gathered for a graduation ceremony. The happy day was made even more exciting when the singer and new mom to twins performed her hit “Let’s Get Loud” for the students at their commencement ceremony. A teacher at the school told local newspapers that she showed the … Continue reading

Stars Branching Out… In Places We Don’t Want Them

If I have to hear about one more Hollywood celeb who has decided to “branch out” into the world of fashion I might just hurl all over my pleather JLo coat. I’m kidding about having the coat… not about hurling. So I’m not sure what to do about my lunch given the fact that actress Lindsay Lohan has just announced that she is interested in launching her own perfume line. The 21-year-old free spirit says she wants to follow in the footsteps of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and JLo and come up with a scent that is uniquely her own. … Continue reading

Celebrity Moms Speak Out

“No Nanny!” That’s the word from doubly blessed mom Jennifer Lopez. According to Us Weekly, mommy to 3-month-old twins Max and Emme refuses to get a nanny because she says she wants to be a hands-on parent. The magazine reports that Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony hired help to look after the newborns shortly after they came home from the hospital, but for some unknown reason the babies’ female nanny left her job last month and instead of replacing her Lopez has decided to go at it alone. GASP! Us reports that the singer is caring for her children … Continue reading

No, No J-Lo

Say it ain’t so. When Jennifer Lopez finally announced she was pregnant with twins (during her seventh month) she said all her dreams had finally come true and she planned to “just be a mom” for a while. Well, time’s up! I guess “just” being a mom was not as exciting as she thought it would be because now it appears Lopez is taking the mommy bit to TV. Yesterday TLC announced it will be airing a new reality series on how Lopez juggles her career — including launching a new fragrance — with motherhood. ARGH! I can’t believe she … Continue reading

Greatest Musical Feuds Ever – Part 1

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just all get along? Nah, what fun would that be? Here is a list of the best band squabbles ever. Some are between two bands and one is even innerbanditary (yes, I just made up that word), but all were played out in the public eye: Lynyrd Skynrd vs. Neil Young I guess Neil Young started this one. He wrote the song “Southern Man,” which contained lyrics that talked about crosses burning and paying back slaves for all the years of injustice done to them. Lynyrd Skynrd, a band almost synonymous with Southern … Continue reading
