Britney Concert Tickets are Definitely NOT Affordable.
I was excited at the possibility of going to the new Britney Spears concert when she stops by Phoenix. I casually checked ticket prices and amidst planning of who I would go with and what I would wear, all hope was instantly shattered.
The cost of a general admission ticket? $344.50 (before any taxes or fees). Yep, you know just $350.00 for each mediocre seat—months in advance. Oh, and if you want good seats? Shell out $500.00+. Damn it.
Why did I think Britney tickets would fall in the $100-$200 range? Why do I put myself through these things? I must enjoy, on some level, being disappointed in life.
Oops! Beyone Reveals Inauguration Secret.
Nice one. After the Presidential Inaugural Committee tried so hard to keep the first song a secret, Beyonce didn’t return the favor.
“I am so honored that I will be performing for President Obama and the First Lady. To sing ‘At Last’ while they have their first dance is a dream come true,” says the Grammy-award winner. “I could not be more honored and excited that they have asked me to be part of this moment in history.”
Boring song choice, but fitting. I suppose taste should be a priority with these things.
The event is definitely catering towards the younger audience members. Hip-hop royalty Jay Z, Alicia Keys, and Mary J Blige will be there. Also, Nick Cannon’s wife, Mariah Carey.

Joaquin Phoenix is Secretly a Rapper
Um, Joaquin Phoenix is going to embark on a rapping career and to highlight all of its sucess, Casey Affleck is going to film it.
Were they high when they thought of this? Just asking.
I know Phoenix wanted to retire from acting to start a music career, but I would have never guessed it was a hip hop career. Does he know he played Johnny Cash? As in country/folk music?
But bonus points for getting Diddy to produce the album, though. You know he’s still trying to recover from Making the Band. This will totally revamp his reputation.
Ashlee Simpson Heads Back to Acting.
It looks like Ashlee Simpson is heading back to acting with her tag-a-long husband Pete Wentz.
The two are going to guest star on CSI as some sort of Bonnie and Clyde duo. *yawn*
I liked Ashlee when she was on 7th Heaven. Not that I ever watched the show, but when I’d, you know, just channel surf through it I thought she was pretty good. In a cheesy, can’t act, sort of way. But hey, none of those cast members could really act. The show was driven more by its message than its writing or characters.
So okay, okay, I get it that Ashlee wants to head back into doing something for a change. But what I don’t get is why does Pete have to be there? Can’t she do something by herself for a change? I thought Ashlee was supposed to be the independent one between her and Jessica.
The episode premiers in March. I’m sure we all just can’t wait for it.
“It Ain’t Trickin if You Got It” Revealed
Okay, maybe it’s just me but I hear the above phrase ALL the time in songs and I have NO IDEA what it means. Naturally, I googled it today because I’m bored at work.
Ah, of course.
And This Is Why I am Deathly Afraid of Flying.

I am freaking out right now just reading about this.
A US Airways Airbus 320 (yep, the newly released Airbus) flew through a flock of birds and then crash landed into New York’s Hudson River. The birds (unclear what kind) damaged two engines, causing the crash.
The water temperatures are extremely cold and witnesses report the plane is sinking as rescue crews do their best to remove passengers.
I hope everyone is okay.
Thoughts and prayers go out to passengers and their families.
Update: the birds were geese. Fantastic.
Verne Troyer in a Bear Suit Eating Honey from a Jar. Seriously.
Omg, I feel SO bad for laughing at this but it’s totally worth it.
Big Brother UK made the contestants dress up as bears (Winnie the Pooh style) and then eat honey from jar. With a wooden spoon and all. The best part is that Verne Troyer is on the show and he looks so funny.
All the contestants look SO pissed. Whatever producer came up with this deserves a big raise. I never watch Big Brother, but if they do stuff like this then I’ll be Tivo’ing this all day.
That’s what you get for being on Big Brother.
Lindsay and Sam DJ’ing for Obama? Really?
Lindsay Lohan and her girlfriend Sam Ronson will be dj’ing at a party thrown in honor of Barack Obama’s inauguration.
I love how Linsday gets credit for dj’ing too, even though it’s only Ronson that works the iTunes playlist turn tables. We all know Lindsay doesn’t work anymore. Has anyone told Lohan that they don’t give academy awards for showing up at clubs?
But, I digress. The party is appropriately titled the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball held and it will be held in Washington D.C.
Some news publications think these two will be on their “best behavior” because they are such huge supporters of Barack Obama. I’m curious, what does “best behavior” include? Is that drinking but no screaming matches? Or, are we compromising and allowing pouty faces and mellow dramatic stances?
Designer Valentino Going to Jail?
Hmm, who would’ve guess that Valentino is a shady guy?
His crime: tax evasion, kind of
Valentino is being fined by the Italian government due to some unethical business practices. He moved his residence from Italy to London, thus eliminating the requirement of reporting income to Italy. However, he kept his business operations running in Italy. So, the Italian government issued a fine and is possibly investigating the matter further. Criminal charges may be in store for Valentino.
Wouldn’t it be crazy if he went to jail over this? How are these rich people so stupid? Don’t they have expensive accountants and attorneys to make sure stuff like this doesn’t happen?
Amazing.
Paris Hilton Kicked Out of Golden Globes Party!
Ouch!! Not everyone loves Paris at their parties!
According to the NY Daily News, Paris Hilton was escorted out of one of the hottest VIP Golden Globes after party. The host, Kevin Huvane of the Creative Artist Agency was “outraged” and demanded she be kicked out.
So what’s an unwanted heiress to do? Hide in the bathroom of course! Eyewitness accounts say she hid in the powder room and as soon as she thought it was safe to exit, security met her and escorted her out. How embarrassing. And Paris thought going to jail was the worst moment of her life.
Who was actually invited? Just the usual A-list celebs: Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie.
Poor Paris, credible fame always eludes you.
