Disney's Dirrty Stars

First pop tween Miley Cyrus raised eyebrows with her pictures in Vanity Fair in which it appeared the 15-year-old was simply wrapped in a blanket. Personally, I didn't think it was a big deal... Only her back was exposed, so yeah...

Then Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon had nude photos leak onto the internet. Although I'm sure some young girls look up to her, I kind of excused her because she's like 26, an adult and should be able to do what she wants to do. I'm sure the photo leak wasn't meant to happen.

But this just takes the cake...
High School Musical stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens pose with a fan in a SEX TOY SHOP! Wow...

Caterpillar To Butterfly?

When Zachary Travis first auditioned for American Idol and failed to make it past the first level, he vowed to try again. Then, he arrived in a blouse and high-heels, singing Whitney Houston's "Queen of the Night."



Now he's back - with a whole new look. Ditching the heels and long hair, he's back as the gay porn superstar Kirk Cummings!

What a hottie! Both Kirk's youtube account and MySpace link him to his former alter-ego Zach.

Abdul Says FOX Knew

According to American Idol judge Paula Abdul, the FOX network and American Idol producers were well aware that Paula Goodspeed had stalked her. In an interview with Barbara Walters, Abdul revealed that she had informed them that the girl was a stalker and not to let her audition for the show. However, producers ignored her request and let Goodspeed on the show "for entertainment value."

Goodspeed was found dead in a car near Abdul's home last month due to an apparent suicide.

Abdul, 46, blames FOX for Goodspeed being able to find her home. Goodspeed, with her mother, had followed Abdul home after an audition according to Abdul. She also says that Goodspeed had written her several "disturbing letters" for nearly 18 years and had a restraining order again her.

When asked why she hasn't left the show, Abdul says it's because she is still under contract.

Airbrush: A Girl's Best Friend?

For some reason, it seems like the world feels like everyone needs to be airbrushed. Even celebrities that I consider to be some of the most beautiful, such as Jessica Alba, get touched up to death. Take a look at the before and after shots below. I personally think that the ORIGINAL looks better. It shows a softer, more real Jessica vs. the mouthwatering sex kitten they want to make her out to be.

Before:

After:

It's kind of disgusting what this industry does. Can't a person just be naturally beautiful anymore?

Angelina Becomes Highest-Paid Actress

According to the Hollywood Reporter's list Angelina Jolie has become the highest-paid actress. The 33-year-old bombshell rakes in more than $15 million a movie. She is followed by Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon - last year's top earner. Most recently, Jolie replaced Tom Cruise in the espionage thriller Edwin A. Salt, which will be shot starting in February. Jolie's 2008 movies have earned nearly $1 billion world wide.

Listen: Fearless

Country singer Taylor Swift seems to have come a long way since her debut in 2006. On her latest album "Fearless," the 18-year-old has improved both lyrically and vocally, proving to be one of the best newer artists in the business.

Swift's recent break up with fellow teen star, Joe Jonas of the boy band The Jonas Brothers, had a definite impact on the new CD. In fact, the track "Always and Forever" was written about the heartbreaker. According to a radio interview, Swift said the song was added to the album last minute because she "needed to tell the story."

Other true standout songs include "Breathe" featuring Colbie Caillat and lead single "Love Story." The latter is an example of the fairy tale theme that seems present throughout the 13-track album. The official video for "Love Story" is even modeled after the classic Romeo and Juliet story.

In the same vein, the lyrically and vocally beautiful "White Horse" is probably the best track on the album. On it Swift sings, "I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale. I'm not the one you sweep of her feet, lead her up the stairwell."

Perhaps most impressive is the singer's songwriting skills. All of the songs featured on "Fearless" were either written or co-written by Swift. Her abilities seem to be reminiscent of Avril Lavinge's debut album.

"Fearless" has a more pop-country sound then her first album. In a time where auto tune is popular, it is refreshing to hear artists such as Swift, who have a natural gift for singing rather than relying on the magic of a recording studio.

All in all, the teen shows that she is one of the best in the country industry. Swift has shown much growth on "Fearless" and has the potential to go even further.

Grade: A-

It's Britney, Bitch!

Yesterday, Britney Spears released her new music video to "Circus" found on her latest album. The pop princess is back and better than ever.

Excuse My Beauty?

For those wondering: This is NOT hot... Tina Turner failed when attempting to pull off a blonde wig and apparently was attacked by a lawnmower just prior to performing.

Listen: Circus

After a rough year of custody battles, trouble with the law and moments of just pure craziness, many had doubts of what the future held for pop princess Britney Spears. Her sixth studio album “Circus,” however, gives hope that the recovering star will be able to revive her fallen career.

"I'm like a fire cracker, I make it hot when I put on a show," Spears sings on title track "Circus" on the new album. Not only does the song have an infectious beat, but the lyrics ring true. "Circus" possesses a gold mine of potential hit singles, proving that Spears has still got it despite her past troubles.

While Spears has never been known for her vocal abilities, she does know how to make irresistible dance tracks. Most songs found on the CD, such as lead single "Womanizer," are good examples of this.

On the contrary, a few tracks like the touching ballad "My Baby" showcase Spears' softer side.

Lyrically the album hits its highs and lows. The chorus of "Blur" tends to feel too repetitive and the lyrics found in "Mmm Papi" are just plain silly. Hot club beats tend to make up for any falling short in the lyrics department though. 

This is not to say that album completely lacks creative lyrics. "If You Seek Amy" clearly has some encoded messages as Spears sings, "All the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy." Read it out loud slowly.

In addition to “Womanizer” and “Circus,” the song “Kill the Lights” is another stand out track that is sure to please listeners. Similar to her previous album’s hit “Piece of Me,” the song details the love hate relationship between Spears and the paparazzi. Speaking of her previous album, “Radar” makes a surprise reappearance on “Circus.”

All in all, Spears has done a job well done. Although her 2007 release “Blackout” did not do terribly, she obviously wasn’t ready to take on her superstar role just yet. With the recent MTV documentary "Britney Spears: For the Record" and her satisfying performances overseas, Spears shows promise and improvement. She just might be successful in her second attempt at a comeback. "Circus" is a definiate step in the right direction.

Grade: B+

Mother Knows Best

Devastated by their elopement Nov. 20, Heidi Montag's mother told Us Weekly that she believes now husband Spencer Pratt may have drugged her daughter beforehand.

The 46-year-old mother, Darlene Egelhoff, says that she would like to see a blood test from Mexico and that she wouldn't be surprised if Montag had been drugged.

Although she's not worried about the marriage because she's confident that it won't work, Egelhoff is worried about how Pratt has tried to control Montag, including trying to cut everyone out of her life.

Egelhoff describes the marriage as the "the biggest mistake Heidi's ever made" and believes that it will only last about six months.

Paris Chooses New BFF

After weeks of fake bitches, drama and tears, hotel heiress Paris Hilton finally picked her new BFF. On the finale of Paris Hilton's: My New BFF, it was Brittany Flickinger who was lucky winner. Although no cash prize was awarded, the 24-year-old now has the friendship of one of the biggest celebrities today: Ms. Paris Hilton.

BFF Winner, Brittany Flickering, strikes a pose on the red carpet.

Flickering beat out runner-up and crazed fan/groupie Vanessa Fontana - THANK GOODNESS. Fontana's constant praise of Hilton was not only becoming annoyingly over-done, but also borderline stalkerish. Ultimately, I had wanted sweetheart, Shelley Burkett to win, although Brittany isn't necessarily a bad choice either.

Perhaps it was Vanessa's big mouth that got into deep water with the socialite and turned Hilton off from choosing her to be the new BFF?

Either way, I hope Brittany and Paris have a long-lasting friendship in the upcoming years.
