ear full of jewels

gagaphones

do you have lots of moolah to throw around on things that don’t matter? then this is the product for you! lady gaga teamed up with dr. dre to launch her very own line of headphones. yes, headphones.

and here’s the best part. they go for a whopping $99.95 to $149.95 depending upon the style you choose. what, are these magic earphones or something? apparently it’s a small price to pay to have a pair of diamond-shape jewels in your ears.

the lady explains her new adventure in the marketing materials: “in the deepest hour of the night, i confess to myself three things; i would die if i was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion. heartbeats embody the trinity of my human-being, with one additional vow: that SOUND matters. wear heartbeats, love each other, and celebrate the art and lifestyle of music.”

i’ll pass, thanks.

glee-less

gleeslider

last may, fox was convinced they had a hit with their latest tv show, ‘glee.’ viewers were ecstatic over the preview of this musically-inclined sitcom. naturally, fox jumped for joy over the ratings & fast-tracked the show into a fall premiere. but they might want to wait on the congratulatory champagne.

the next set of reviews are in. and variety has ripped the hopeful hit to shreds! “talk about one-hit wonders,” the mag writes, ”the promise & energy associated with the debut of ‘glee’ last spring largely evaporates.” the review purports that the series will be short-lived, to say the least.

did ya miss the preview last spring? lemme catch you up. it’s a look at romance through a high-school glee club. misfit singers, star quarterbacks, cheerleaders & awkward teachers fill the cast – with the group occasionally bursting into song & dance. variety says that while the cast has a whole lot of talent, it seems to be crushed alongside the show’s “jokey, cartoonish, wildly uneven tone.” we’ll see if audiences buy into the new show come this season. ‘glee’ premieres on fox sept. 9th at 9pm. i’ll leave you with this parting shot from variety: in order for the show to last, “they’re gonna have to croon a tune helluva lot better than this!”

celeb babymakin’

20090830_spermy_560x229__oPt

ever looked at a magazine and thought, wow, i wish my baby could look like _____(fill in celebrity here). well, you’re in luck! l.a.-based sperm bank, california cryobank, has launched a “donor-look-a-like” service where recipients can choose a sperm donor based on their resemblance to celebrities. only in hollywood would this even occur to someone as a good idea!

the website boasts that look-alikes have been “researched and selected from the limitless expanses of the internet” and that the donors can be “actors, athletes, musicians, or anyone else famous enough to be found on the web.” recipients can search for their favorite celebrity among a long list that includes everyone from hugh grant and ben affleck to adam sandler and jet li!

but it should be noted that, according to the sperm bank, “no celebrity is meant as an exact match for any donor, nor should you assume that your future children will look like any celebrity listed.” disclaimer, anyone? the coo of idant laboratories, stephen feldschuh defends the new service: “ultimately we’re all interested in what someone looks like. it’s what we do when we’re dating or meet someone. i didn’t ask my wife her medical history before I decided to marry her.”

the crush of a terrorist

whitneyosama

here’s two people that you never thought you’d say in the same sentence! osama bin laden and whitney houston. what’s linking these two together? apparently bin laden is obsessed with whitney’s music! novelist kola boof documented her experience as a osama bin laden’s sex slave in her memoir diary of a lost girl. in the book, boof reveals some interesting details into the life of her captor.

she said of bin laden, “he told me whitney houston was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen… he said that he had a paramount desire for her, and although he claimed music was evil he spoke of someday spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting with the superstar.” perhaps he would take some time off from terrorizing people to spark up his love life?

bin laden also was said to have copies of tabloid & playboy magazines in his briefcase. another weird fact? the man loves his American tv! his fave shows were ‘the wonder years,’ ‘miami vice,’ & macgyver!’ so let me get this straight – he condemns western culture as being of the devil, yet he’s all about our music, tv & “reading materials.” you learn something new every day…

milking it

levi-johnston-0910

shut your pie hole, levi! regardless on whether or not you like republican vice-presidential nominee sarah palin, i think we can all agree that this media monger has got to stop. after palin’s daughter bristol and boyfriend levi johnston had their baby & split up, the new daddy has embarked on a massive smear campaign. because, let’s be honest, how else will he make money?

johnston has opened up to vanity fair in an exclusive interview to be published in their september issue. entitled “me and mrs. palin,” levi shares insider details on palin family drama. of sarah and husband todd’s marriage, levi says “there was a lot of talk of divorce in that house.” he goes on about sarah’s mothering skills: “even before she was nominated, there wasn’t much parenting in that house… the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school.”

according to levi, there was even some master plan for sarah to adopt bristol’s baby? “she told me that once Bristol had the baby she and todd would adopt him…i think sarah wanted to make bristol look good, and she didn’t want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid.” is any of it true? we have no idea. but it speaks volumes about his maturity level – that he is willing to publicly degrade the mother and extended family of his child. levi, there’s a little something we like to call DIGNITY. go find yourself some!

some dictator love

there are so many things wrong with what’s going on here. first, what the heck is aubrey o’day doing on the sean hannity show? the girls group cast-off has been milking her “fame” in such prestigious ways like posing for playboy and wearing next to nothing on the red carpet. classy! so why hannity had her as a guest, it’s beyond me!

regardless, the lovely lady had some insight to share about everyone’s favorite dictators, fidel castro and adolf hitler on the show yesterday. she defends communist dictator castro, calling him “brilliant!” she goes on to say “i’m not defending his behavior in many instances, but i do have to say that i will 100 percent agree he’s an incredibly brilliant man.”

there’s no greater way to get yourself in hot water than express admiration for the commie’s. well, i take that back. because aubrey in the next breath discusses how she also believes adolf hitler was a brilliant man. in the wake of the coverage surrounding her comments, aubrey just released a statement to tmz to explain herself further. and there you have it, folks! check out the hysterical clip above.
