Lady Ga Ga
“I am totally confident that I am an incredible artist and performer. I am extremely confident about my body, the way I dress, the way I want to look. But I have no confidence when it comes to men. Men are a disaster area for me. It’s so weird because I believe I am super sexy. I believe I am incredible, but I have absolutely no luck with boyfriends.”
- Lady GaGa told British reporters

President Obama Gives Queen of England an iPod
Barack Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift of an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs of her 2007 United States visit to Richmond, Jamestown and Williamsburg in Virginia. In return, the Queen gave the President a silver framed signed photograph of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh - apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries.
It is believed the Queen already has an iPod, a 6GB silver Mini version she is said to have bought in 2005 at the suggestion of Prince Andrew.
UPDATE: Pool reporter Richard Wolf of USA Today says that an Obama aide told him the President also gave the Queen a "rare songbook signed by Richard Rodgers". END UPDATE

Madonna's Missing Millions
Before Madonna “adopts” another child from Malawi, maybe someone should ask her where the money went from her big star studded 2008 fundraiser for that country.
We tried: this column has tried to ascertain from The Gucci Foundation and from Madonna’s Kabbalah-backed Raising Malawi where the estimated $3.7 million has gone from the February 6, 2008 extravaganza. So far: No answers.
The fundraiser had some problems, however. Even though Raising Malawi had been in business for two years, it was still not approved as a sanctioned non profit at the time. Instead, Gucci formed its own Foundation — known as a 501 c3 — to collect the money. They brought UNICEF on board to give the event a feeling of legitimacy. But in the end, the efforts expended were for Raising Malawi, an organization founded by the Kabbalah Center of Los Angeles. Raising Malawi teaches the Kabbalah curriculum, called Spirituality for Kids, to Malawi orphans.Now, fourteen months after the fundraiser, there’s no accounting for the money that came in. At the time, Gucci claimed that they’d underwritten the entire event, that $3.7 million had been raised and that it had been split between Raising Malawi and UNICEF

Robert Pattinson's Romantic 'Memoirs'
Sexy 'Twilight' and 'New Moon' vamp Robert Pattinson is in talks to star in a new romantic drama, reports Variety. Read on for details…
'Memoirs' would reteam Pattinson with 'Twilight' saga producer Summit Entertainment for a story about lovers whose fresh relationship is threatened by family tragedy.
Director Allen Coulter ('Hollywoodland,' "The Sopranos" and "Damages") is in talks to helm the project, which is being rewritten by Jenny Lumet ('Rachel Getting Married').
Pattinson is currently focused on the sequel 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon,' scheduled for a November 20 release.
'American Idol''s Top 10 Sing Motown
"American Idol"'s top 10 flew to the Motor City (Detroit) to get their groove on for this week's theme: the Motown song book. Then back in Los Angeles, they were mentored by no one less than Motown-great and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Smokey Robinson.
Matt Giraud launched the night playing piano and singing to Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." Randy Jackson enthused, " Yo, man. You set this off on a tone. I know there are some other boys that are the frontrunners, but that run you did at the end and how strong your falsetto is, you are challenging them for the top." Kara DioGuardi agreed, adding, "I think there are a lot of girls out there going, 'Let's get it on.' You are coming out of your shell. I think you could have pushed it more, but it was a solid performance." Paula Abdul praised, "You showed a sexy cool vibe. Most pop artists today over-riff. Yours fit the melody." And Simon Cowell made it unanimous, saying, "It was a great choice of song. It was a cool performance. Your voice absolutely suits that kind of song. That is what you should be doing. You are one of the frontrunners in this competition."
Kris Allen strummed the guitar as he put his own spin on "How Sweet It is to be Loved By You." Kara told him, "You didn't do James Taylor, you didn't do Marvin Gaye, you did Kris. At this point, the competition is about artistry. How you put your mark on the song. And you did it. You did everything right with that song." Paula added, "It is really nice seeing you come into your own. You picked a great song. Technically speaking the note you hit at the end was brilliant." Simon agreed, saying, "I thought it was smart that you did your version, but you need to start believing in yourself. You don't have the swagger. To be a star, you have to be conceited. It is about self belief." Randy simply said, "You have hit your zone. It is all good, baby."
Scott MacIntyre did an up-tempo version of Diana Ross' "You Can't Hurry Love." Paula told him, "I think you pleased both Simon and I. You did do something different. I loved the beginning, the chord changes. When you feel it, the audience feels it, too." Simon disagreed, saying, "There was a line in the song when you sang: 'How much more can you take.' It wasn't a good version. The piano was too honky-tonk. I thought it was completely the wrong song for you. I think you are better than that as an artist." Randy pointed out, "I don't agree with Simon often, but today I am. It wasn't the right song for you. Nothing great happened. It was just average for me. Kara said, "I think you brought tempo tonight, which I wanted to see from you, but the thing I wasn't crazy about is you took liberties with the melody, but you didn't nail it."
"For Once in my Life" was the Motown song choice of Megan Joy. Randy criticized: "That song was a train wreck for me. That song that fast doesn't fit what you do." Kara advised her that she should have sung "My Guy." "You hit bad notes all over the place. The song took you over," she pointed out. Paula complimented her on her appearance, saying, "Your stunning beauty takes my breath away. The camera loves you, but I am going to have to agree this was not the right song for you." Simon said, "The good news is you look good; the bad news is it was horrible. Whoever is advising you, I would fire. It was a horrible arrangement. I think you could be in serious trouble after tonight's performance."
Anoop Desai went mellow with The Miracles' "Ooo Baby Baby." Kara told him, "It has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written and one of the hardest to sing. You did a pretty good job. You really can sing. You have a skill set." Paula stated, "I think you have a new-found confidence, but your phrasing, your delivery and your falsetto is not just spot-on, but sweet." Simon thought it was a great vocal, but "I think you looked as if you were half asleep. It is one thing being serious, another being boring. You have had two good weeks in a row now," he said. And Randy advised him to turn it back up next week. "I see you more like that than the balladeer guy," he said.
Michael Sarver interpreted The Temptations' "Ain't too Proud to Beg." Paula had bad news for him, saying, "It felt a little Las Vegas-lounge-y for me -- the way you were working the microphone. You need to be driving that song and not let the reverse happen." Simon said, "Let me make this easy. Actually, I couldn't wait for this to end because you were shouting the song. You have no chance of winning this competition based on that vocal. In the real world, it just isn't good enough." Randy also had a criticism, pointing out, "The song was too big for you. You are not an R&B kind of dude. You made it a little corny because you were trying to do too much with it." Kara added, "At this point in the competition, it is not about singing, it is about artistry. It is about making it your own. That is what we need from you. That is what I didn't feel from you this week."
Lil Rounds belted out Martha and the Vandellas' "(Love is Like a) Heat Wave." Randy wasn't thrilled by the performance, saying, "It wasn't the right song for you. I felt you were rushing through. Not your best performance." Kara agreed, saying, "I've got to say, you were the diva tonight that everybody was waiting to hear. If you don't nail this week, I don't know what to tell you. I don't think you picked the right song." Paula completely disagreed. "I do agree with the fact that you look unbelievable. It is what you do vocally that feels fresh." Simon told her, "I think what you did tonight was an authentic tribute to the sound of Motown, but I wouldn't have chosen that song. It didn't give you a moment. I agree with Randy, it was too fast. You are one of the best singers we have in this competition. I am dying for you to do what you did a few weeks ago when you blew everybody away. You can't do it with a song like this.
Smokey Robinson's "Tracks of My Tears" was Adam Lambert's song selection and he got a standing ovation from Kara, who raved, "One of the best performances of the night. You showed artistry on that stage." Paula enthused, "What I love about this season is that someone like you comes along who is completely in his own league." Simon teased, "I am going to disagree with Kara, because it was the best performance of the night. You were able to sum up everything we have said about originality and picking a good song. You emerged tonight as a star." Randy pointed out, "From day one, I thought, 'This guy has the range. He can do anything.' You are not just a cool indie rocker, you can pull it down. You had such tender moments using what is in your arsenal. The bomb tonight!"
Danny Gokey rocked the house with "Get Ready" made famous by The Temptations. Paula declared, "You are undeniable and always reliable, giving us a first-class performance." Simon told him, "We know you are a good singer, but I thought that was clumsy and amateurish." Randy felt it wasn't Danny's best performance, but "I loved the energy of it," he said. Kara added, "I loved your personality tonight. It was good not great, but I am still a huge Danny fan."
After being in the bottom three last week, Allison Iraheta brought down the house on The Temptations' "Papa Was a Rolling Stone." Randy complimented, "You might be 16, but you are one of the dopest singers this season." Kara advised, "America, you've got to vote for her. Amazing. You sing like you've been singing for 400 years. That is from God. You can't teach that." Paula told her, "You kept your rocker edge. You are awesome. You belong in the competition." Simon made it unanimous, saying, "Allison you are a survivor. You had a terrible week last week. This was one of your best performances."

American Idol Star Mandisa Drops 75 Lbs.
From People Magazine: Suffering Simon Cowell's barbs about her weight during season 5's American Idol auditions – he cracked that the show would need a "bigger stage" to accommodate her – was a "worst fear come true" for the singer Mandisa, but that pain was nothing new.
The Grammy-nominated Christian singer's weight battle was borne of early trauma – she was sexually molested as a child and raped at 16. "A lot of girls turn to men to fill that void and some turn to drugs," Mandisa, 32, tells PEOPLE. "I turned to food as my drug of choice."
Her weight left her open to ridicule and health problems. Mandisa recalls her humiliation when she performed a routine with her high-school drill team and a classmate joked that she caused the whole gym to shake. "I still remember that like it was yesterday," she says, adding that she was even denied health insurance because of her weight.
Making a Change
After a visit to Mt. Rushmore last summer that left her so short of breath she had trouble making it to the viewpoint, she set herself a goal to lose 100 lbs. by the March 24 release date of her new album, Freedom, on March 24. "I thought I couldn't get up and sing about freedom when I had been chained for so long," she says.
Following a routine of cardio workouts five days a week, a diet heavy on salads, lean meats and fiber, and counseling to work on her childhood issues, she's dropped more than 75 lbs. "Being able to fit into clothes I couldn't before is great," she says. "To be able to walk into a room and not feel self-conscious, I don't ever remember feeling this way."
She plans to continue her new routine for life but remains realistic. "I want to be healthy, and I believe my body will get to whatever it's supposed to be," she says. "It could be a size 8 – but personally I like a girl with a little meat on her bones! I don't need to look like the models on the magazine covers in order to be beautiful."
American Idol 13
ET was on the red carpet to speak with the remaining "American Idol" contestants Thursday night, but in a surprise move this season the judges let an additional contestant through!
Before the show went off the air on Thursday night, "Idol" judge Simon Cowell made a surprise announcement: "We decided recently we're going to make this a Top 13."
"Making the top 13 is incredible," Michael Sarver tells ET. "Number one the top 13, it's history -- it's never been done before. I think the incredible thing about that is the one person who always slips through the cracks didn't slip through tonight."
"The pressure's definitely on," Adam Lambert says. "But I think once you reach this point of being in the top 13, you've arrived to a certain level. There's almost a sigh of relief as well as the impending pressure weighing on me."
Watch the video to hear how the successful singers feel to be part of the first ever Top 13, and whether they are already getting a taste of stardom by getting recognized on the street.
Contestants Lil Rounds, Scott MacIntyre and Jorge Nuñez made it to the Top 13 on Wednesday, joining Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver, Danny Gokey, Allison Iraheta, Kris Allen, Jasmine Murray, Megan Corkrey, Matt Giraud, Anoop Desai, and Adam Lambert.

Chris Brown Turns himself in for possible assault
Boyfriend arrested for alleged assault on Rihanna
It seems that all is not happy in paradise as Rihanna is revealed to be the victim in the incident that led to Chris Brown being arrested yesterday in Los Angeles.
The alleged attack, which is still shrouded in mystery, meant that both stars missed their performances at last night's Grammy Awards.
LA police have now named Rihanna as the victim in the case after earlier saying that the female victim had "suffered visible injuries".
The couple, who always denied they were an item, apparently got into an argument whist driving around in a rented Lamborghini late on Saturday night.
"The exact charge was criminal threats and it is going to be investigated as a criminal threats investigation,” said Police Sgt. Bridgett Pickett.
"There may be domestic violence charges added later, but that will be up to the district attorney’s office."
Brown has been released on $50,000 bail.
Rihanna's publicist said: "Rihanna is well. Thank you for your concern and support."

Yes We Can - Barack Obama Music Video
Congratulations, Mr. President.
-Lyrics-
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --
Yes. We. Can.

Michelle Obama Shares Stage with Miley, Jonas Brothers
Who could upstage Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers? At Monday night's Kids Inaugural concert, that would be Michelle Obama.

"Barack and I are so thankful for the military sacrifice that helps make our nation safe," she told them. "We join you all today and every day in praying for your loved ones and their safety."
As a beaming Sasha and Malia took photos of their mom on stage, Mrs. Obama said, "You kids are the future of this great nation. And at this extraordinary moment in our nation's history, we wanted you to be able to join in on this celebration and share this incredible journey with us."

Madonna bounces back with glamorous new look and a new mystery beau
Madonna could barely hide the smile from her face when out in New York last night with yet another new man.
The singer had been looking haggard of late, the visible toll of her recent divorce from film director Guy Ritchie. But the 50-year-old's new man looks to have put a spring in her step, as the pair emerged from New York's exclusive Waverly Inn restaurant after dinner. The man, whose name has not been revealed, appeared to be much younger than the mother-of-three, who appears to have a penchant for toyboys.Since her divorce from Ritchie, 40, at the end of last year, Madonna has most recently dated 20-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz and 33-year-old American baseball star, Alex 'A-Rod' Rodriguez.

T.I. show not part of community service
LOS ANGELES — T.I. is using his upcoming MTV reality show to scare teens straight, and it's not part of the 1,000 hours of community service he must complete before facing a prison sentence March 27.
The 28-year-old rapper told the Television Critics Association on Friday that he's put in 864 hours so far. He said: "This show is in addition to (that)."

Soulja Boy Crib Jacked ( TMZ)
Remember the Soulja Boy video where he was chillin' in his crib, and six thugs armed with pistols and AK-47s busted in and robbed the place? Wait ... that really happened.
A rep for the teen rapper says the incident took place at Soulja Boy's home Dec. 30th -- no one was injured.
In a online video released the next day, two masked dudes claimed responsibility for the attack, claiming it was just the two of them and one weapon.

Teens pick the best, worst of 2008- Happy New Year
What a momentous year it's been — we totally pwn3d it. Take the elections. We got all wrapped up in Obama and McCain. We campaigned for our causes. We fought hard over Proposition 8.
This year was full of highs and lows. The lows included an ailing economy, a slew of revolting reality TV shows and a few annoying overplayed songs — including the appropriately named "Low."
To remember the best and worst of '08, the Life in Perspective teen board collaborated on a list of Top 5s.
Best viral videos
# Paris Hilton's campaign ad at funnyordie.com: "I'm, like, totally ready to lead."
# Sarah Palin pardons a turkey: Gov. Palin officially saves one turkey from the Thanksgiving table "... then talks to the media as other turkeys are slaughtered in the background.
# Ninja cat: The only thing scarier than a cat sneaking up on you is a ninja cat sneaking up on you.
# Jonas Brothers, "Band in a Bus" series: If you can't get enough of them, you can now keep up with the brothers between concerts.
# "Yes We Can" Obama campaign song: Now artist will.i.am can say "Yes, we did."
Most overplayed songs
# "Low" by Flo Rida: This song makes us feel so low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low.
# "Closer" by Ne-Yo: Thank you very much, but we'll keep our distance
# "Stop and Stare" by OneRepublic: At this point, we'll just keep on going and look straight ahead.
# "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis: More like bleeding ears.
# "Please Don't Stop the Music" by Rihanna: Don't take it seriously, you can stop it anytime you like. We're not kidding. Stop it. Now.
#
Guilty pleasure songs
# "Love Bug" by the Jonas Brothers: Even Jo Bro haters can appreciate this Jack Johnson-esque piece.
# "Guilty Pleasure" by Cobra Starship: This song's title is self-explanatory.
# "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry: I sang along, and I liked it.
# "Disturbia" by Rihanna: This tune is so catchy, we catch even our parents humming it.
# "One Step at a Time" by Jordin Sparks: Everyone loves an American Idol.
Suspect fashion trends
# Crocs: Now they come with fluffy linings. It might look comfortable, but don't even think about it!
# Skinny jeans: Years from now, men will desperately attempt to explain why they once felt compelled to wear their sister's pants in public.
# Men wearing pink: At no point was pink the new black. Who spread these lies?
# Gauges: The human earlobe was only meant to accommodate metal of a certain size. Never rods as thick as a quarter.
# The pouf: The forehead just didn't cut it. Finally a hairstyle that supplied the five-head to a demographic other than balding men.
Awkward 'Twilight' bits
# Bella in her undies: Let's face it, the majority of "Twilight" viewers were there for Edward, so showing a little underwear was entirely unnecessary.
# Edward sees Bella in biology class: Judging by his reaction to meeting Bella, we'd say Edward suffers from epilepsy, rather than love.
# "Say It": Edward knows he's a vampire, Bella knows he's a vampire; we know he's a vampire. There's got to be a better way to remind us all of this.
# Vampires in the sunshine: Apparently, vampires don't die in the sun. They just get showered with arts and crafts glitter.
# Jessica tries on prom dresses: No, that dress does not make your chest look good.
Gains for our generation
# Going green: It's our planet too, and if you won't save it, we will.
# iPhone: How many other phones come with GPS, mp3, and downloadable lightsaber widgets?
# More financial aid: Now we can afford Harvard. Next step: getting accepted.
# YouTube: Even Obama realized that YouTube is a force to be reckoned with — he will post his weekly presidential addresses online.
# Facebook: How many friends do you have?
Political moments
# Youths rock the vote: Apathy is so passe.
# Obama's election night speech: Finally, we've elected a minority candidate to the highest office.
# Tina Fey's Palin impressions: Doggone it, Fey's even better than the real thing.
# The passing of Prop. 8: High school campuses heated up with debate over this controversial amendment banning gay marriage.
# Palin prank call: When two Canadian comedians posed as French President Sarkozy, Palin fell for the ruse.
Good clicks

# Engrish (www.engrish.com): This blog's intercontinental humor won't get lost in transration.
# Dwight's blog (http://blog.nbc.com/DwightsBlog): Essential for fans of "The Office," this blog is a treasure trove of information, like how to build a moat.
# PostSecret (http://postsecret.blogspot.com): We're secret admirers of this anonymous tell-all site.
# Perez Hilton (www.perezhilton.com): Thanks to this gossiper's blog, you, too, can be in with the it group.
Slang you should know
# That's what she said: It just won't stop. That's what she said.
# Epic (fail): The zenith of human triumph and the very depths of human failure, encompassed in three syllables.
# Dope: At first, "dope" meant idiot, then cannabis, now it's synonymous with cool.
# Pwn3d: A word to express the totality of your opponent's defeat. Yeah, the noobs were pwn3d.

We can't believe we're watching this "...
# "Paris Hilton's New BFF": Friends don't let friends make fools of themselves on national TV.
# "Double Shot at Love": It's like the original, but twice as bad.
# "Rock the Cradle": Rock stars' children had best not push their music careers, especially if they lack all talent — they're an embarrassment to their parents.
# "Living Lohan": Lindsay's on the cover of every tabloid. Do we really need to hear about the rest of the family?
# "The Hills": The Hills are alive "... with the screams of gossipy rich kids.
Laws teens ignored
# Driving with friends in the car: Twelve minutes after getting our licenses, 12 months after getting out licenses — same difference.
# Talking on cell phones while driving: Well, the adults are breaking the rules, too.
# Curfew: Like some law is going to stop us from partying past midnight.
# Jaywalking: You mean pedestrians have to pay attention to traffic lights, too?
# Riding bikes without helmets: We like the wind in our hair.
