Calling all film majors! Think you know how Britney’s next video for “Piece of Me” should look? MTV wants you to direct it!

MTV’s “Britney Spears wants a Piece of You” contest kicks off on Monday and is calling for die-hard Britney fans to put together a video counterpart to the official video Brit shot this week. But what if you’ve never submitted anything to YouTube? (get with it, people!) It’s no problem.

To enter the contest all you have to do is download the MTV Video Remixer. Then you pick the shots you wants to use, mash them together and –viola!– you’ve got a submission! The video can be up to 3:34 in length and the winner will premiere on TRL on December 20th.

But you better get on it quick! Entries are due by December 14.

Having your video premiere on TRL is cool and all, but the true prize is having your video premiere before the official one. That won’t surface until January.

Britney Spears is lazy and slow? Shocking.

I’m sitting here watching the VMA’s and all I can think is: “What is happening?”

The 2007 VMA’s are being broadcast live from Las Vegas this year and it is most definitely the most awkward, uncomfortable piece of television I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching.

Wait…Rihanna preforming…she’s actually singing! That’s refreshing.

Anyway, Britney’s performance was lazy, boring, and frustratingly anti-climactic. Her weave was visable, her outfit was unflattering…her pupils were dialated!

Girl didn’t even sing. Didn’t. Even. Try.

Sarah Silverman tried to breathe some life into the night by doing her normal low-blow comedy (which I love!) but was so ill recieved that she was booted off stage before she could finish her monologue.

What??

Kudos to Justin Timberlake for calling out MTV and announcing that they “need to play more videos. We don’t want to see The Simpsons on reality TV.”

Wow. Read More »

At least Britney Spears is an inspiration to someone.

TMZ has posted a video of artist Ryan Crotty’s alarming “installation” which was based off of the life of everyone’s favorite trainwreck.

Basically a baby doll being force-fed a Pepsi with it’s hand shoved into a bag of Cheetos, Crotty’s art was paraded down the streets of Los Angeles and –thank God– it was all captured by TMZ.

I want to hate on this “artist” so badly, you guys. You have no idea. With his dated “trendy” neckerchief and stupid oversized glasses, he looks no different than any East Village hipster (what’s the LA equivalent? Anyone?).

You know he’s a Perez-reading, VH1-watching, beer guzzling (probably only Pabst, though) dude…except he’s a “creative”-type.

You know what I mean. He shops at H&M and answers to no one!

Ugh. Spare me. This is art? This is what inspires the masses? This is the best we can do?

Either way, can we all agree that with this mockery of art, Britney has officially jumped the shark? Okay, so she’s a bad mother. Kevin Federline is suing her. She’s a crack-pot with bad taste in…everything. Read More »

And here I was thinking for years and years that she had it together.

Sure, she married a weird looking guy, but that just meant she was the kind of girl who looked deeper and refused to be superficial. Even after she got divorced and starting dating perennial bachelor Owen Wilson, she refused to do the Britney and get trashed every night of the week, opting instead to continue living quietly and taking care of her son.

Plus, she’s adorable.

Which is why I was so pained to read this quote from September’s issue of Harper’s Bizaar:

“As primal beings, men are not supposed to be monogamous. When people ask, ‘Do you believe in monogamy?’ Well, of course that’s what you want. But part of what I love about men is that it’s hard for them to be monogamous. Women, I think, need to spend more time understanding men than changing men. And vice versa.”

What kind of idiot woman says something like that? How backwards do you have to be to allow men the convenience of being biologically deterred from monogamy? And why would you love it? Read More »

It’s no secret that celebrities such as Courtney Love and Keith Richards have lived quite wild lives. It’s written all over their faces…literally.

Living a less than stellar lifestyle health-wise does make you look older. All those late nights and foreign toxins going into the body…sounds kinda like college, huh?

Well, this hard partying/quick aging trend is catching on for the young celebs of our generation — not just the rock and roll greats of years past.

The UK’s Mirror had a recent article up about Real Age vs. Body Age, and rated unhealthy celebs like Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse against uber-healthy Madonna.

The results:

Madonna: Real AGE: 48, Body AGE: 35

Britney: Real AGE: 25, Body AGE: 30

Amy Winehouse: Real AGE: 23, Body AGE: 31

I’m sure some of his rabid fans will want to kill me after I say this, but I just don’t get the hoopla over Matthew McConaughey.

Everyone freaks out about this guy. Magazine after magazine goes nuts for his abs and workout habits and his abs and single status and his abs and his muscular, muscular abs.

Enough about the man’s chest! He’s just a guy, being fit. I don’t think it’s possible for him to get any fitter, so let’s just discuss something else.

Like how he’s part of the Paris and Britney club of Being Famous For Just Being Him. When was the last time McConau-hot had a movie that wasn’t lame?

Failure to Launch? Eh.
Sahara? Eh.
Two For the Money? Ugh.
We Are Marshall? Better than eh, but still not good.

And how come we never see MMc with a chick? He hasn’t been photographed with a girl on his arm since…I mean, I have no idea (didn’t he date Penelope Cruz at one point?).

Is he single because he just doesn’t go out? (too busy playing naked bongos?) Read More »

Going to the beach is a process. Sand and sun, snacks and toys…there’s a lot to carry and a lot to deal with.

I won’t lie, it has deterred me from even venturing to the shore sometimes, but no worries my friends. Our problems have been solved.

Our friends at toweldown.com have created what is possibly the single most useful beach accessory this side of sunscreen.

What is a Toweldown towel, you ask? Well, it’s a lot of things. It’s a backpack, purse and towel all-in-one. The best feature? The pouch on top that you can fill with sand to make a pillow. Genius! With plently of colors and designs to choose from you will definitely find one to match your new bikini. And with the affordable price, you better snag some for a few friends.

A Toweldown towel is one of those novel inventions that your friends will ask you about, and although it may take a few explanations (and probably a demonstration or two) it’ll be a must-have in no time. Read More »

I remember watching The Lost Boys a few years after it came out. I was still young then, easily impressionable and scared of everything. Needless to say, the movie had me sleeping with the light on for weeks.

A few years ago I happened to catch it again. Although I’m still very easily terrified, the 80’s classic was no longer a nightmare waiting to happen—it was a dream come true. Big hair, dated special effects, comedy, Kiefer Sutherland before he was in that completely irrational and unreal Fox show…and best of all, the film introduced the world to what we now know as The Two Coreys.

Corey Haim and Corey Feldman were the Lindsay and Britney of the yuppie era, adorable, famous, and then drug addicted and ruined. Only a few years after they starred side-by-side in the vampire extravaganza, both men were strung out Hollywood garbage.

But guess what? They’re back!

Of course.What forgotten celebrity doesn’t have a TV show these days? The Two Coreys, debuting on A&E on July 29 at 10:00 / 9:00 central, is the comeback extravaganza for the now clean and sober BFFs. Read More »
