Britney Spears Coming To A Kohl's Near You

Check out this newly serviced photo of Britney Spears for her new ad campaign for Candie's. Isn't she lovely, Isn't she Wonderful! (Enough with the Stevie lyrics) But Britney is back and coming to a Kohl's near you. Not literally but in the cut-out form. At least it's better than Avril Lavigne or Hilary Duff (Not that I have anything against Hilary) but I'd rather see Britney posters at Kohl's.

Britney is featured in Candie's apparel, footwear, swimwear, intimates and accessories available exclusively at Kohl's. Britney showed Entetainment Tonight her favorite Candie's underwear, and says: "I had so much fun shooting the Candies for Kohl's campaign. My favorite set-up was against the gigantic wall of pink cotton candy." Too bad I wasn't there to help her change in and out of her clothes. I'm sure she could always use a few extra hands.

Supposedly, a full size, limited edition, pull-out poster will appear exclusively in the April 15th issue of Us Weekly Magazine. Be sure to grab your copy and post it on your wall. Or you can just send your copy to me!

I'm A Featured Blogger In A National Newspaper

Incase you missed it this is the article that was in The Washington Post today!!! It features me and another website I work on called Meetthefamous.com so check it out... Enjoy

Meetthefamous.com -- Inspired or Invasion of Privacy?



Screengrab of Meetthefamous.com.

You're innocently loitering on a London street when you spot what appears to be a tipsy George Clooney. Or maybe you capture Penelope Cruz in a less than glamorous moment. Or perhaps you have an old pix of tweener heartthrob Zac Efron before "High School Musical" made him a star.

In potentially horrifying news to many celebrities, a new Web site will pay you for all of the above. Meetthefamous.com, launched last fall, has quietly been picking up steam as a go-to site for aspiring paparazzi. Almost overnight, digital cameras and photo- and video-enabled cell phones have made celebrity news one of the first areas of news in which the idea of citizen journalism has actually caught on.

"What I've done is created a home for everybody to be the paparazzi," said Meet the Famous CEO Jordan Osher, who underscores his contributors ability to go where the real paparazzi can't follow stars. "[They can] share their celebrity encounters with the world and get paid for it."

Osher says the site now receives at least 50 photos each day and has amassed 16,000 images in their first five months of operation. Here's how it works: You have taken what you think is a marketable celebrity photo (or video). Upload that photo to Meetthefamous.com and you'll get $5 for every 1,000 pageviews that photo receives. If it's featured on the site's homepage, there's a $25 bonus. And, if the picture is sold to a magazine, tabloid or any other public venue, you'll receive a 50 percent commission.

And, Osher says, sales have been surprisingly lucrative. Recent sales have included a decade-old picture of a pre-"300" Gerard Butler to Life & Style and another of recent tabloid fave Rihanna.

"We got a picture of Rihanna getting a tattoo, kind of pulling her pants down," said Osher. "It's a really cool photo, really sexy -- everybody was all over that."

Brandon Downey is set to graduate from Rutgers University this spring, but he's also one of Meet the Famous's most reliable contributors. Posting as LaBellaVida7, the part-time subsitute teacher who aspires to be the "anti-Perez Hilton" has posted 120 photos to the site so far, including this vintage pic of a seemingly drunk Britney Spears in New York (Downey gets most of his snaps in New York and Philadelphia). A huge Spears fan, Downey says he turned down a $30,000 offer from the National Enquirer to publish the photo five or six years ago, but has since posted it online because his ideals have changed.

"I wish I had [sold the photo]," said Downey. "It would've paid off most of my college. I was kind of naive back then."

Downey's personal evolution seems to track with the public's increased consumption of what can be viewed as invasive coverage of stars. Celebs -- including Clooney and Julia Roberts -- have taken tough stances on the paparazzi and Los Angeles even briefly considered a Britney Law that would have created a 20-yard "safety bubble" around celebrities. The law was proposed after an ambulance transporting Spears to the hospital was besieged by photographers. And blog empire Gawker was criticized in 2006 when it launched Gawker Stalker, a Google map-enabled site that lets anyone geocode celebrity sightings. (Ex: "Just saw matthew broderick walking on 31st and park. He was with a blonde young model and not SJP." -- Mar 29th, 2009 @ 2pm.)

Osher says he doesn't think Meet the Famous will cause a further erosion of celebrities' personal space.

"Nothing we do encourages any illegal behavior. If you're at a bar and you see Paris Hilton doing a shot and you have your camera, you can take a picture. Whether they come to Meet the Famous or go directly to TMZ, it's gonna get out there."

The privacy line has been increasingly difficult to pinpoint with the advent of publicists who call ahead to alert paparazzi to their celeb's every move and stars like Ashton Kutcher, who recently posted this pic of wife Demi Moore's derriere on Twitter.

"What we've done is create a platform for the everyday person who doesn't know what to do with their photos," said Osher. "They can come here and profit off of it and in this economy it's a second source of income for some people."

Maybe someone should tell Ashton.

Rihanna Into Some Kink?


Everybody on planet Earth is well aware of the beatdown that Rihanna received via Chris Brown this past February on Grammy morning. Since that day we have seen Chris and Rihanna frolicking in the beaches of Miami, Chris Brown showing no remorse and Rihanna getting a gun tattooed on her ribcage.

After hearing that Rihanna was thinking about taking Chris back I asked myself, "Hasn't she ever seen, What's Love Got To Do With It?. I think Oprah needs to stage an intervention with herself and Miss. Tina Turner and knock (not literally) some sense into this girl.

In the past few days new claims have arisen saying Rihanna is not cooperating with police with the charges filed against Chris Brown. This makes me think she might have liked getting her ass beat like a batch a potatoes. Maybe she likes the kinky shiite. A little smack her, a bite there, some electricity over there, and a punch in the good ole baby maker! I mean whoe doesn't like a little blood pouring from the orifices?

No matter what happens I will still listen to Rihanna's music because it is addicting. Those bom bom be doms and baby baby when we first met songs are what pop music is all about. Chris Brown, on the other hand, has decent songs but I would like to see his ass go to jail and get, well just like he sings, double his pleasure double his fun. For- ever- ever-ever...

Miley Mistakes Her Kid's Choice Award For An Oscar?


Apparently Miley Cyrus does have problems when it comes to differentiating between two things. We all know that she has an identity crisis with Hannah Montana and herself and now we all learned that on Sunday night she thought she won an Oscar when in reality it was a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for Favorite Female Singer. When she walked up on stage to accept her award she burst into tears and said she wasn't expecting to win the award. Let's get this straight people, Hannah Montana was up against Beyonce, Rihanna and Alicia Keys on a children's television channel and she was surprised that she won the award.

Note to Miley: You are 16 and deserve to be on the channel, I want to know why you weren't up against Ashley Tilsdale, Brooke Hogan, and the Mama Mia cast. As for the crying out burst I'm not quite sure why Miley cried. Maybe she was trying to get in touch with her Halle Berry side or maybe she wanted to prove to us that she is capable of winning awards. Whatever it is I hope she never wins an Oscar because she wouldn't give a speech most likely she would just stand there shaking her Oscar saying, "You like me! You really, really like me!" Oh Wait! That's been done!

Gisele Kills It On The Cover of The May 2009 Vanity Fair



Don't call her Mrs. Tom Brady because our generations most successful supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, is capable of taking over the world. Not only is she married to one of the most talented quarterbacks in football today but she is one of the most beautiful women to have walked the planet. This May the 28-year old Brazilian model will grace the cover of Vanity Fair. In the magazine she talks about her compatibility with Tom Brady: “He’s very close to his family. He’s Catholic. His parents have been married 40 years. He’s got a pure heart. That’s all that matters – he’s got the purest heart. I feel grateful because I have a lot of love in my life. I found the person I’m sharing my life with. I have a good man.” She continues to speak of doubts arising from her and Tom’s relationship: “You question at times – ‘Should I stay here? Maybe you should work this out.’ But when people break up, it’s for a reason. [Dealing with baby John] was a blessing, because otherwise I don’t think I would have known what he was made of, and he wouldn’t have known what I was made of. [I love Tom's integrity and] the way he was a good person through all the times. I was like, You have the heart in a good place! It made me feel more in love with him; it made me realize who he was.” It seems they are happily married yet in need of another wedding stateside in the near future. Last month, Gisele and Tom were wed in her native Brazil while in her hometown for Carnivale. Look for May's issue of Vanity Fair on newsstands in April.

Best Album Release of March: All I Ever Wanted


Kelly Clarkson's 4th Album release, "All I Ever Wanted" takes her back to her boy-bashing roots with songs like, "I Do Not Hook Up" and "Don't Let Me Stop You." I guess she is trying to dispell all the lesbian rumors by writing all these songs that speak of breaking up with guys and being with guys who were interested in other girls. Whatever she is doing it is working with 2 straight weeks atop the Billboard Top 100 Charts. The album was released on March 10th, 2009 following the release of her smash single "My Life Would Suck Without You." Kudos to Kelly and Co. for releasing 2009's first unforgettable song.

Whether or not you are a Kelly fan you will be saying "My life will suck without you!" while on the shitter, walking your dog or working out on the treadmill. It is one of those infectious songs that even the straightest of straight men try to say they have never heard and everybody knows they know every lyric to. I bet you I could put Arnold Schwarzenegger on Don't Forget The Lyrics and give him "My Life Would Suck Without You" for $250,000 and he would win it. Wouldn't that be a sight for the blind and music for the deaf, eh? My point is that Kelly Clarkson somehow gets the best songs. I know she does write her music which I commend her for, but she does get cowriters and writers for other songs. On this album she has Kara DioGuardi of American Idol fame writing for her and Katy Perry, Barry Swartz and the very successful Max Martin.

Songs I suggest for download are; "Cry", "I Do Not Hook Up", "Don't Let Me Stop You", " All I Ever Wanted" and " If No One Will Listen." Eventhough the whole CD is amazing, download those songs if you feel the economy has hit you just as hard as the rest of us. Other honorable mentions of CD's that came out this month are; Martina McBride, John Rich, U2, Keri Hilson, and Hannah Montana The Movie Soundtrack.

Jamie Spears Threatens To Shut Down Britney's Biggest Fan Site...WTF????


On March 27th, 2009 an era ended for all us Britney fans. As much as I thought the webmaster of Breatheheavy.com was a conceited ass, I thought the way he ran the website and the information on the website was amazing. My daily fix of all things Britney was there for me whenever I needed it. Like all Britney fans we need a reassurance that she is okay and her kids are okay and that she is going to keep giving us more. Breatheheavy.com did that for us. Allegedly, Jamie Spears threaten the webmaster verbally over the phone recently and sent him papers telling him to immediately halt production on the website. As many of you know, back in 2008 Britney lost all her rights when her dad became her conservator. This is the very reason why Jamie Spears is allowed to act as Britney and threaten the webmaster of Breatheheavy.com. In the past Britney has commented about Breatheheavy and what it has done for her and her fans. I am shocked to see that today it is gone. I think Jamie Spears has gone to far and speaking from my recent run in's with Britney herself she is not her old self at all. I want the old Britney back and that means she needs to send her father back to Louisiana eaten crawfish and drinking beers again like the alchi he once was! Leave OUR Britney alone you ass and let her live her life. Don't let her be so overprotected! Didn't you listen to your daughters 3rd album track 2? I feel better...

Chelsea Handler Wants Me To Get Sucked!


I went to the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA because my favorite talk show host was performing there. I have been watching Chelsea Handler on E!'s "Chelsea Lately" since the shows premiere back in 2007. I read both of her best selling books and watched her stand-up routine. It was a no-brainer to try and get my book signed and possibly a photo with her while she was in town. I arrived at the Tower Theater early to scope out Chelsea's escape route and get a feel for security. I noticed her Escalade parked down a side alley with a sorry excuse for a security guard blocking the entrance.(We'll get back to him) Around 10:30 that night my friends and a large group gathered to see if Ms. Handler would sign our books. When she pulled away the car made a quick right and got stopped by traffic. At that point I saw my one and only chance to attack, I mean, meet Chelsea. I ran up to the window Chelsea was at and at that moment I blurted out "Chelsea sign my book!" While everybody else was scared of the security and thought Chelsea would just stop for all of us. I ,however, was being the proactive one and went to Chelsea. Chelsea rolled down her window and asked me my name. I told her my name and that I think she is HIGH-larious. Her boyfriend was with her and he smiled at me. I said "Hi!" back to him. When I turn to my left I notice the Biggie Smalls type bodyguard flying(Or rolling) at me. My eyes suddenly widened, I was about to get steamrolled. When he noticed Chelsea speaking with me he ran right past me. I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes. 400lbs of pure McDonald's and KFC coming at you at a high speed is enough for you to surrender yourself to the Heaven's above. Chelsea signed my book and went on her way. I was the only person out of 100 to get my book signed! It was well worth the near death experience. When I looked at the autograph it said, "Brandon-Suck U! Chelsea" What a polite way of telling somebody to, "Feck Off!" It only made me respect Chelsea more. I went back to my friends that night with an ear to ear grin knowing I was the only Philadelphian to have met Miss. Handler. Suck It!

The King Of All Media Challenges The Queen To A Duel


My friends and many others who I have met have told me to start writing stories about the celebrities I have met, wanna meet or just blog about the screwed up lifestyles of Hollywood's rich and famous. Every since I was a young lad I dreamt of being in the elite class of the heroin addicts, cocaine sniffers and pill poppers. I wanted to be Drew Barrymore's friend, Cory Feldman's buddy and Valerie Bertinelli's son. Today I feel like I may have a chance at doing most of those things except being Valerie Bertinelli's son. I could be her Jenny Craig companion though. Which would be hot because she just scored the hot, new cover of PEOPLE magazine. Which has always been a dream of mine. But I wanted to be PEOPLE's Sexiest Men Alive. If you saw me you would say I have a shot. Believe me. Anyway back on topic. I decided I needed to blog about celebrities because my writing style is very unique to those that we are addicted to in today's society. Perezhilton.com, JustJared.com, Pinkisthenewblog.com, etc. are all great sites but I think I could be the Anti-Perez. No respectful 30 year old male with a cock intact would ever call himself a Queen unless he was 30 minutes from cutting that shit off for good. That's part of the reason I feel Perez is overrated and annoying at times. I have love for the man and sometimes I have intense hatred for the man. He used to talk mad shiite about my girl, Miss. Britney Spears and all a sudden he shows up on the opening video of her tour. That's something shady if you ask me. So I am going to start my own blog and write about everything from celebrities to sports to movies to music releases. The key here is I am going to write my blog unlike Perez who has hired people to take over his blog and keep the original name. If I were him I would change it to TheQueenandShrews.com PerezPaysmeto writethis.com. Well I hope you enjoy my blog and maybe one day I will be duelling with the Queen. Bring it BITCH!
