A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Words
POSTED BY Gossip Girl ON January 19th, 2010Susan Boyle Goes Postal
POSTED BY Gossip Girl ON January 15th, 2010She has one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, but Susan Boyle seems to be cracking under the pressure. Last night, SuBo was waiting in a VIP lounge at London’s Heathrow airport when she suddenly grabbed a mop from a janitor and proceeded to use it as a microphone, performing a rousing number (complete with obscenities) for waiting airline passengers. When officials asked her to cease and desist, the Britain’s Got Talent star fled the lounge, screaming, “I’ve escaped, I’ve escaped!” We’ve all sung into a broom before, but in the safety of our own homes. Susan, save those performances for your cats.
Katy’s Not Prego
POSTED BY Gossip Girl ON January 14th, 2010Katy Perry took to Twitter last night to announce to the entire world that it was her time of the month. If you all paid attention in Sex-Ed, you know that this declaration conveniently dispels rumors that her recent engagement to Russell Brand was of the shotgun variety. To quote Katy on the rumors, “Better luck next month peepz.”
A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words
POSTED BY Gossip Girl ON January 14th, 2010I’d make a snide remark about Sophia Loren’s Big Bird-esque jacket, but some celebrities are just untouchable. In fact, I’m convinced that if I were to say anything, a large bolt of lightning would immediately strike me down. Observe for yourself, but keep those lips sealed.
Hey People,
POSTED BY Gossip Girl ON January 14th, 2010It’s a beautiful crisp day on the Upper East Side. Sadly, that’s not the case for the residents of Haiti. Before you go out and drop $100 on lunch at Tao, or even think about buying that Valentino handbag from Bergdorf’s, consider what that money could do to benefit a country where thousands have lost their lives and millions have been ravaged by its worst earthquake in 200 years.
Actress/Singer/Philanthropist Selena Gomez has the right idea. As the youth ambassador for UNICEF, Ms. Gomez is encouraging everyone to stop what they are doing and donate. Whether you can give 5 cents or $5 million (I’m looking at you, C,) every little bit counts.

Idol’s Top Ten
POSTED BY Gossip Girl ON January 13th, 2010American Idol debuted last night to its usual stellar ratings. It’s hard to believe it’s been nine seasons since Kelly Clarkson was crowned the first winner—or just how many stars the show has created.

Heidi Montag’s Delusions of Grandeur
POSTED BY Gossip Girl ON January 13th, 2010On rare occasions, my posts write themselves. Here’s what Heidi Montag told EW about producing her own album, which she claims cost $2 million of her own money and emptied her bank account:
I think within the first week we will definitely make our money back. The songs will make an impact in pop history. They are absolutely incredible and everybody involved is the best of the best. People just haven’t seen me as a pop star. I’m very excited for the world to see a whole new Heidi.

Paula’s got the X-Factor
POSTED BY Gossip Girl ON January 12th, 2010After yesterday’s news that this season of American Idol will be Simon Cowell’s last, it came as no surprise that primetime’s favorite meanie made a second announcement: he’ll be importing his hit X-Factor series to American shores. Rumors are swirling that former Idol judge Paula Abdul will be joining Simon at the judges’ table when the series debuts in 2011. With Paula already gone from Idol, and Simon leaving in May, the show might be on its last leg. (Sorry, Randy Jackson, but no matter how many times you say “dawg,” we still don’t take you seriously.) Will you still watch after Simon leaves?
Scene & Heard
POSTED BY Gossip Girl ON January 12th, 2010“I got into a massive car crash outside of the Fox lot — completely totaling my car, when I get into the room for my audition, I literally was still pulling pieces of glass out of my hair. They’re like, ‘Are you okay?’ I’m like, ‘I’m fine!’” – Lea Michele on getting into a car accident moments before her successful Glee audition. Kids, don’t try this at home!
