Britney Loses Custody
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Gossip, Internet, Rumors,
While details are still developing, People magazine (and loads of other news sites and blogs) are reporting that Britney Spears is temporarily losing custody of her two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Kevin Federline will have custody of the children, beginning Wednesday, “until further notice of the court,” according to the judge at today’s hearing. The specifics have not been made public, but the odds of Brit having custody have become increasingly stacked against her after recent events, including charges against her for a hit-and-run accident, driving without a valid license, and of course… interviews from her former bodyguard that claim the poptart endangered her kids and used drugs. You also may recall that Britney is supposed to have random drug testing twice a week. No word yet on whether this recent custody decision is the result of any testing. There will be another hearing on Wednesday.

Sarah Silverman Comments on Britney Jokes
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Cable, Gossip,
Sarah Silverman, current Comedy Central golden girl, is still fielding comments springing from her Britney Spears VMA jokes. The comedienne is getting a lot of flak for calling Brit’s babies “adorable mistakes,” which Silverman maintains was meant to be a harmless joke. She went on to say she doesn’t want to be involved in a feud with Spears – or any girl half her age. Silverman is known for her off-the-cuff remarks and somewhat lewd jokes, but the touchiness surrounding this year’s award season has created more press than the results of the awards themselves. Everyone is so busy looking for controversy, we no longer have any idea what happened with any of the awards. And the Oscars haven’t even happened yet.

Kid Rock and Tommy Lee: Round Two?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Music, Reality, MTV, Gossip,
Though the headlines were pushed farther down the page in the wake of Britney’s jaw-dropping performance at the MTV VMAs, the battle royale between Tommy Lee and Kid Rock did get some of the attention it deserved. Any time aging rockers start to duke it out over a fading, bleach-blonde actress, it’s just good entertainment. So…why not put Rock and Lee in a ring and let them duke it out for real? At least, that’s the idea that has tickled the fancy of Las Vegas showman Jeff Beacher, who is offering the rockers $1 million to fight at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. To winner go the spoils, and the odds-on favorite is already Rock. Beacher has promised that if the rockers agree, he’ll even have Mini Britney open the show. Mini Britney is the nickname of 26-year-old performer Terra Jole, who is known for her Britney impersonation.

Will Britney Spears Apologize at the Emmys?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, FOX, Gossip, Rumors,
Sources are reporting to US Weekly that we could be witnessing another Britney Spears sighting much sooner than we had expected. The honchos at FOX are apparently talking to Brit’s peeps about a possible Emmys appearance. It wouldn’t be an opportunity for her to redo what she forgot to learn last week, rather it would give her a chance to apologize for her disastrous VMA performance. That would make two Britney-filled Sundays in a row. Woo hoo!
While I’m seriously doubting Spears will be able to weather large crowds anytime soon (let alone speak without backup vocals), I’m sure the rumors of a surprise appearance would be enough to make the ratings-hungry producers happy.
Coincidentally, Kanye West is also scheduled to perform in Sunday’s telecast (he’ll be part of some ‘skit’ based on the music competition shows). So will Kanye now be ranting that he and Spears were exploited by FOX? We should be so lucky!

What Went Wrong with Britney’s VMA Performance?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Music, Reality, Cable, MTV, Talent, Gossip, Rumors,
If you’ve somehow missed the disparaging comments about Britney Spears on stage at the VMAs, you’re a better person than me – because I’ve found it’s totally unavoidable. The first day, the comments centered on Brit’s off-beat performance, her lethargic dance moves, and her completely lackluster stage presence. The second day, the news was filled with remarks about Brit’s body. The songstress has never been afraid to show off what she’s got, but critics are saying the mother of two should be covering it up instead. Video of Brit’s performance is absolutely everywhere for those that missed the MTV broadcast, and for those who just want to have a good laugh a second time around. Several reporters claim to have “the real story” behind the big B-bomb that landed on stage during award night. But does anyone, other than Spears herself, really know what went wrong?

An Open Letter—In Defense of Britney Spears
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, MTV, Editorial, Gossip,
Dear Video Music Awards viewers:
We’re probably all tired of talking about Ms. Spears and her disastrous performance by now…but I’d been thinking about The Biggest Loser premiere last night and I just had to get this off my chest: Britney isn’t fat.
Yes, she’s bigger now than we she last appeared on the VMAs.
Yes, she would have looked better in the corset.
Yes, I’m sick of this alter-stripper persona that she has taken on.
But dang—I thought she looked pretty good for someone who’d drinking frozen margaritas non-stop. And heck, I’m just happy she didn’t wear those ugly brown boots onstage!
You can call her a train wreck, bad mother, lost child all you want….but let’s lay off the weight.
Yeah, you heard me right. I’m actually defending Britney. But make no mistake—I’m only defending her on this one issue. For those of you who read my first open letter to Britney, I still stand behind everything I said then.

VMAs Speared by Britney
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Music, Reality, MTV, Gossip,
For those that missed the black bikini-clad Britney Spears at the VMAs last night, there are videos all over the Web and clips all over the TV. Immediately after the broadcast, the E! network started running a ticker bashing Brit’s performance. MTV’s broadcast might have been a comeback chance for Britney Spears, but her performance is getting headlines for different reasons. As stars like Sean “Diddy” Combs looked on in confusion, Spears lip-synched her way through a performance that wasn’t on beat, contained less-than-thrilling dance moves, and fell completely flat with fans. Between Brit’s bomb and the fist fight between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee, the artists who won awards were treated more like afterthoughts amid the electric-blue tables that crowded the main room, and the chaotic suites that hosted live performances. Despite encouraging words from fans and other artists, Spears still seems more like a slow-motion train wreck than pop superstar.

The 2007 MTV Video Music Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, Cable, MTV, Cable/Satellite,
Before this evening’s festivities begin, the producers of the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards should really thank the scandal-plagued artists who’ve unintentionally thrown publicity their way. Tonight, we’ll be thinking about those performers who’ve canceled because they need to be in rehab (Amy Winehouse) and closely watching those who should probably go back (Britney Spears).
We’d been warning you for weeks that this would be a one-time only telecast, but in case you forgot—we hope this helps. And for those who live on the West Coast (like me), you can play along and read our coverage as if it were in real-time:

MySpace’s Tila Tequila Gets Own Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Reality, MTV, Cable/Satellite,
I’ve admittedly not kept up with dusty MySpace account, and now I’m not sure if I’m hip enough to return.
MTV—once again proving they’re the place to turn to for quality programming—will be introducing another dating/reality show this fall. The ingenious twist? This time around male and female contestants will be competing to date the same person: Tila Tequila. For those oblivious (like I was) to this internet celebrity, the bisexual beauty is apparently ‘the most popular girl in the history of MySpace’. Should I now feel sad that she’s not one of my ‘friends’?
Once her show A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila debuts on October 9th, Tila will work on becoming the most popular girl on MTV as well. Take note, Lauren Conrad!

Britney Spears Staging a Comeback
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, MTV, Gossip,
Justin Timberlake brought SexyBack, but can Brit bring herself back from the tabloid nightmare she has fallen into? Britney Spears has released a new single called Gimme More - a catchy tune that’s burning up radio waves. The song opens with Britney’s voice, rife with attitude: “It’s Britney, bitch” – but don’t worry, it does get a little better from there. Spears will also be performing at the MTV VMAs this year, a stage she once made famous when she exchanged a sultry, mid-song kiss with pop Queen Madonna (whose crown will never truly be taken, all kisses and pop princesses aside).
