Britney shoots down ‘new suitor audition’ claims - Thaindian.com

Britney Spears Washington, Sept 15 (ANI): Pop diva Britney Spears has rubbished reports that she's staging fake music video auditions to find a new partner.

A report in the New York Daily News recently claimed that the Toxic singer set up a fake casting in Los Angeles to find a new beau, but her hand-picked suitor, 24-year-old model Bekim Trenova, turned her down.

However, Spears' spokesperson claims that the story is "completely false".

"She (Spears) doesn't know this guy," Contactmusic quoted the spokesperson as claiming.

The 27-year-old singer was said to be dating with her agent, Jason Trawick.

A source said: "When he got there, there was no camera crew. There was just Britney. She was looking sexy. She made it pretty clear that she was less interested in hiring him than in dating him. Bekim found the whole scene very weird. He was polite but not interested. He made some excuse to get out of there." (ANI)

Make My Day
PARIS FOR PREZ

Printable version of this story

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- It was the snit heard 'round the world. The snarky, scantily-clad video response that got pundits tongues wagging about something other than politics, at least until their wives saw them. Maybe its echo has faded from the news, but it still makes me wake up screaming in the middle of the night.

Paris Hilton says she's running for President.

The vapid blond heiress and star of "The Simple Life," announced her candidacy in a spoof video on FunnyOrDie.com. Hilton said she was running because that "wrinkly white-haired guy" - John McCain, for those of you emerging from under your rocks - used her image in a television spot against his opponent, presumptive President of the United States, Barack Obama.

"Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton, and I'm a celebrity too," she said without a sense of irony or shame. "Only I'm not from the olden days, and I'm not promising change like that other guy. I'm just hot."

Oh man, this is really bad. I've always been a big supporter of third party candidates, but my one litmus test is whether they can even spell "candidate." And that they haven't starred in an Internet sex video/ I swear, if she wins, I'm moving to Canada with Alec Baldwin, unless he chickens out like he did last time. (Big wussy. The guy swore up and down he would move to Canada if George Bush became President, but we're stuck with him and his 17 brothers.) Still, I don't think she's got a real shot, so I'll probably be here for a while.

"But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which means I guess I'm running for President," she continued. Yeah, right. By that logic, since her boyfriend used her in that sex video, I guess that would make her a slut. . .

Uh, oh. This is worse than I thought! Do they get the NFL in Canada? Can I get the Dish Network to work up there?

"So thanks for the endorsement, white-haired dude, and I want America to know I'm, like, totally ready to lead."

Oh, good, as long as you're totally ready. I mean, we wouldn't want someone who was , like, only concerned about whether certain other world leaders are, like, hot, or whether the White House clashes with her outfits. She'll probably appoint Extreme Makerover's Ty Pennington the Secretary of the Department of the Interior to make sure.

"I'll see you at the White House," she concluded. "Oh, and I might paint it pink."

Looks like I've got a tough decision to make. Do I go for the big city or the small town? I've been to Toronto, and it's a nice city with a strong arts community. But if I lived in a smaller town, I'd be closer to nature and some really good fishing. Dryden, Ontario is gorgeous in the summer.

But even as I pace the floor and gnaw on my fingernails, I have to admit, her energy policy made some sense.

"We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight, while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. That way, offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in, which will create new jobs and energy independence. Energy crisis solved. I'll see you at the debates, bitches."

But then she, like, totally shot herself in the foot when she said she was considering Rihanna, the R&B artist, as her vice presidential nominee.

Come on! Rihanna?! Are you kidding me? Everyone knows she doesn't have the foreign affairs experience needed to re-establish the U.S. as a world leader. Plus, she was born in Barbados, so she's not a natural-born American citizen, which means she can't take on that role.

While some people would say Britney Spears, Hilton's fellow celeb and John McCain commercial target, is the emotional favorite, I think Cameron Diaz is the better choice. She can shore up the Hispanic vote and improve relations with Latin America. Of course, you'll also need Ashton Kutcher to head up the Department of Homeland Security (Hey Iran, you've been punk'd!). And what do you think of Scarlett Johansen as the Secretary of State... ?

Uh, excuse me. I don't know what came over me. If anything, I'm worrying too much about something that will never happen. Hilton is only 27, eight years too young to run for president, which means I don't have to worry about a global disaster for eight more years. But with her sordid past, I doubt she could even be elected dogcatcher of Putnam County.

Besides, I'm hoping Lindsey Lohan will be out of rehab and ready to run for Senate by 2016.

'America's Got Talent' finalists wow judges - News1130.com

Posted: 14 Sep 2009 10:25 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES - The "America's Got Talent" finalists did it their way - and the judges loved it.

Piers Morgan called the Texas Tenors, a cheesy trio of cowboy-hat-wearing crooners from Houston who performed Frank Sinatra's "My Way," his new "guilty pleasure," while David Hasselhoff said Voices of Glory, an inspirational singing sibling act from Highland, N.Y., had a "slam dunk" with their rendition of Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All."

Viewer votes will determine which of the 10 finalists will win a chance to headline a Las Vegas show and the $1 million grand prize. Before the fourth season winner is crowned Wednesday, Susan Boyle, the Scottish sensation of "Britain's Got Talent," will make her U.S. TV singing debut. Leona Lewis, Shakira and Rascal Flatts are also scheduled to perform.

More than half of the final 10 acts competing to win the NBC talent competition are singers, including vocalist Lawrence Beamen from Walnut Creek, Calif.; opera singer Barbara Padilla from Houston; singer-songwriter Kevin Skinner, a chicken farmer from Mayfield, Ky.; and crooner Drew Stevyns, of Sykesville, Md. Sharon Osbourne had only one criticism for Stevyns.

"I think your trousers could be tighter," she teased him.

The judges were also pleased with the moves of the Fab Five, power tap-dancing sisters from Morgan, Utah, who clogged alongside acrobats to Britney Spears' "Circus." They seemed less impressed with Hairo Torres' solo breakdancing routine set to Ne-Yo's "Closer." Morgan said a subdued Torres, of Grants Pass, Ore., had "lost the fun" of his previous routines.

Grandma Lee, the only comedian in the finals, was carried onto the stage by four burly men and delivered her sauciest material yet. Acerbic British judge Morgan, the butt of many of Lee's jokes, gave the 75-year-old comedian from Jacksonville, Fla., a standing ovation - even after she said "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell was her new "baby daddy."

The most acclaim went to the evening's final act: Recycled Percussion, a quartet of rhythm makers from Goffstown, N.H., who use found objects as instruments. Their water-soaked rendition of The Beach Boys' "Wipeout" left Osbourne gushing that they "belong in Vegas." Morgan called Recycled Percussion's routine an "absolutely brilliant way to end a brilliant show."

Kanye West's Outbursts: The History - Myfoxorl and O

Posted: 14 Sep 2009 06:51 PM PDT

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Add Sunday night's outburst at the MTV Video Music Awards to Kanye West's history of tirades at awards ceremonies.

West hijacked best female video winner Taylor Swift's speech to argue that Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" was more deserving of the award.

West apologized twice for his comments . But this isn't the first time West has made his opinions well-known.

At the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, West said he would "never return to MTV" after Britney Spears was chosen to open the show and perform on the main stage. Instead West performed his single "Stronger" at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. Sources told MTV that West said, "Why did I perform in just a suite? Justin [Timberlake]'s my boy, but even he gets to perform in both a suite and on the main stage? Something's wrong here.'"

Then after not winning any of the awards in the five categories in which he was nominated, West reportedly said backstage , "That's two years in a row, man … give a black man a chance. I'm trying hard man, I have the … No. 1 record, man."

The day after the show, West went on New York radio station Z100 to explain himself. "I wasn't mad that I just didn't win any awards. For me, [MTV] made it seem like performing on the main stage was a bad thing, and the suites were just so great. It was my dream when I made 'Stronger' to open up the VMAs with a real power performance."

In 2006 West grabbed the mic from Justice vs. Simian at the MTV Europe Music Awards after the duo won the Best Video Award for "We Are Your Friends" over his "Touch the Sky." West argued that his video "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. … I was jumping across canyons. … If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility."

He would later blame his outburst on drinking before the show . "I had a little sippy sippy," he said.

At a telethon to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, West appeared on camera with comic Mike Meyers. But at one point, West stopped following the teleprompter . "Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of the people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way. And they've given them permission to go down and shoot us....George Bush doesn't care about black people."

West talked to ABC's Nightline in 2007 about his comments on the Katrina telethon, saying that the incident "changed his life for the better. I think people understood me a little more. They understood, like, this guy is like … has a little baby Tourettes … maybe not quite diagnosed, but the truth just comes out like accidentally."

The earliest outburst came in 2004 at the American Music Awards in which West lost the Best New Artist award to Gretchen Wilson and left the show in a huff. Backstage he told reporters , "I felt like I was definitely robbed, and I refused to give any politically correct bull----ass comment. ... I was the Best New Artist this year." He went on to apologize to Wilson for being "ignorant."
