It’s an undebatable fact that the MTV VMA’s are a big waste of time. Britney Spears jiggling her way across a stage and Kanye West throwing yet another temper tantrum is not news. But damn if it’s not entertaining to watch the stars in all of their drunken glory! Aside…
Alanis Morisette is conquering the web with an unpredictable cover. The typically angst-ridden Canadian singer produced a satire of the Black Eyed Peas’ inane hit song “My Humps.” There is even a Will.i.am stand-in for the video, which, while faithful to the original lyrics, is delivered in Morisette’s usual slow…
And you thought Bobby and Whitney were bad. Amy Winehouse and her husband, Blake Civil-Fiedler were recently photographed bloodied and bruised after a recent fight in London.

Say it ain’t so! First, rumors keep popping up that Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa are getting a divorce–which entitles the soon-to-be ex Mrs. Bryant to HALF of everything Kobe is worth. It’s California and they had no pre-nup. No sympathy there… fools and their money always part. You…
Don’t even get me started on this outfit. According to this news story, R. Kelly may finally be heading to trial to face charges on child pornography…which is a really spruced up way of saying “this jackass not only peed on a 14-year-old girl then slept with her, he also…
