How do you walk away from $15 million? The thing is, it’s not like Britney Spears has never seen $15 million. She should have $15 million several times over by now. The problem is that it’s never enough. Even when she can barely function without pharmaceutical assistance, and the governance of both her father and her fiancé, it’s still never enough. Full Story

This is, so far, what the US version of The X Factor is for me. The judges and the host are featured on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter.

All he wears are ratty t-shirts to show off a rather mediocre chest but he cares enough for a pair of heels so that they won’t think he’s too short...? Height and hair, men get weird about height and hair. Full Story

Look at Posh’s face. The foundation. The skintone lips. She looks hideous. F-cking hideous. It’s Victoria Beckham today in Boston for the American Idol auditions wearing ten inches of foundation and bronzer.
