ABC Cancels More Adam Lambert Gigs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Music, Talk Shows, ABC, Gossip, News,
Looks like Adam Lambert will be in ABC’s doghouse a little while longer.
The singer’s controversial number on the American Music Awards has already cost him a performance on GMA, now he’s lost two other gigs on that same network. Lambert’s previously scheduled appearance on the Dec. 17 broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live has just been dropped. A tentative booking on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve is off as well.

Lambert Admits He Got Carried Away, Still Not Sorry
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Award Shows, Daytime, Music, ABC, CBS, Gossip, News, Video,
If the folks at ABC were counting on Adam Lambert to apologize for his AMA performance, it’s probably a good thing they canceled his Good Morning America appearance.
The American Idol alum showed up to The Early Show instead and did admit that catching glimpses of his favorite pop stars sparked more of his energy.
“I admit I did get carried away, but I don’t see anything wrong with it. I do see how people got offended and that was not my intention. My intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time with it.”
He also made no apologies when asked about how he felt with children watching his performance: “It didn’t cross my mind - children. It was almost 11 o’clock at night. I was in the audience and it was mostly adults… I’m not a babysitter. I’m a performer.”
Check out his Early Show performances after the break!

VIDEO: Adam Lambert Brings Controversy to American Music Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip, News, Video,
I’m guessing this wasn’t the kind of “entertainment” ABC was hoping to see from Adam Lambert.
At tonight’s American Music Awards, the American Idol finalist raised eyebrows higher than his own hairstyle. During an S&M-laced performance of “For Your Entertainment,” Lambert leads a male dancer around the stage with a leash, simulates oral sex and then later kisses a male keyboardist—all on live TV. (Just in case you hadn’t already heard—he’s gay.)
Although it’s unclear which portions ABC was prepared for, E!‘s Marc Malkin said the kiss was not the cards. “Very good source tells me that ABC and producers did NOT know adam lambert was going to makout w/keyboardist…” Malkin tweeted.

Gossip Girl Threesome Stirs More Controversy
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Editorial, Gossip, News, Rumors,
Hit teenage drama show Gossip Girl continues to anger parents everywhere after news of a threesome scene on Monday’s show leaked. Nothing new there, eh?
The Parents Television Council has their knickers in a bunch, deeming the scene “reckless and irresponsible” and attempting to get the network to not air the episode.
“Will you now be complicit in establishing a precedent and expectation that teenagers should engage in behaviors heretofore associated primarily with adult films? CW has been defending graphic content on Gossip Girl by asserting that they don’t target teenagers. Such a claim doesn’t even pass the ‘laugh test,’” said Parents Television Council President Tim Winter in a statement released yesterday.
I mean, this is the same show that heralded seemingly-negative reviews (“Every parent’s nightmare,” “Mind-blowingly inappropriate,” and “A nasty piece of work”) by slapping them on top of provocative, sexual pictures of the show’s characters for their season two ad campaign. They also garnered hype for the much anticipated gay kiss.
My point?

VIDEO: Kanye West Gets Emotional on Jay Leno
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Talk Shows, NBC, Video,
UPDATE: New video added above includes a third apology from the rapper.
He was only supposed to perform with Rihanna and Jay-Z, but Kanye West found himself sitting on Jay Leno‘s new set tonight. This appearance comes just hours after Kanye posted a new apology for singer Taylor Swift.
Although NBC has only provided teaser video so far (we’re working to find another clip), you can see the rapper become emotional when the host talks about his outburst at the Video Music Awards. (Asking what West’s deceased mother would have said about the matter was apparently the million dollar question.)

MTV VIDEO: Beyonce Shares VMAs Spotlight with Taylor Swift
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, MTV, Gossip, Video,
UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response to West’s outburst here.
Hey Kanye—screw your apology letter. This is what “class” looks like.
Having witnessed Taylor Swift’s VMAs moment interrupted by one of her “fans,” Beyonce Knowles did what was right. While accepting her award for Video of the Year, the singer allowed the 19-year-old to pick up where she left off.
“I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV Award with Destiny’s Child, and it was one of the most exciting moments in my life. So I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment,” Knowles said.
Cue another standing ovation…for both stars.

Kanye West’s Weak Apology to Taylor Swift
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, MTV, Internet,
UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s newest apology here.
UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response to his outburst here.
Etiquette Rule #213: “If you’re going to write an apology letter…DON’T USE ALL FREAKIN’ CAPS!!!”
Shortly after disrespecting country singer Taylor Swift (and reportedly being kicked out of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards), Kanye West hit his personal blog.
Since we’re currently unable to access the website (has the half-ass “apology” already disintegrated?), you’ll just have to read his
words here.
What do you think about the rapper’s post? Do you think Taylor should even give him the time of day?

MTV VIDEO: Kanye West Disrespects Taylor Swift at VMAs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, MTV, News, Video,
UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response here.
UPDATE: You can read Kanye West’s “apology” here.
Let’s just make this clear—this stunt was not orchestrated like Bruno’s moment with Eminem.
During tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West stunned the audience—and an already stunned Taylor Swift—with a declaration that will be talked about for quite some time. While accepting an award for Best Female Video, the country singer was interrupted by the rapper who was upset about Beyonce’s loss in the category.
Although Kanye is known for acting like a child when he is not presented an award, he felt it was necessary to defend Ms. Knowles’ honor during Taylor’s moment on stage. (Based on the shocked expression on Beyonce’s face, she clearly didn’t want his help.) Unfortunately, that left the beautiful 19-year-old standing there with nothing left to say.

Is the Miss Universe Pageant Rigged?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Gossip, Rumors, Video,
Choreographer Michael Schwandt, who’s worked on the last four Miss Universe pageants, recently spilled a few behind-the-scenes secrets in an interview. Schwandt says that pageant owner Donald Trump - and not the panel of judges - decides which contestants will make it to the final round.
“He pops in the day before the telecast, and we line up all the girls in alphabetical order,” he explained. “He [Trump] basically walks by and has an assistant that takes notes. And it’s just kind of common knowledge that he picks six of the top fifteen single-handedly.”
Of course, the procedure described by Schwandt is not outlined in the official Miss Universe pageant rules.

Nearly Three Dozen Sponsors Boycott Glenn Beck
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Cable, News, Video,
Listen up, Glenn Beck. President Obama may or may not have a “deep-seated hatred for white people,” but advertisers apparently have a deep-seated disliking for you.
Nearly one month after telling the crew at Fox & Friends that Obama was “a racist,” the backlash for the FOX News commentator keeps coming. In total, 33 advertisers - including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., CVS Caremark, Clorox and Sprint - have now asked to be distanced from the show.
