Jennifer Lopez has laughed off her on-stage stumble at the American Music Awards by joking that it was part of a choreographed routine.

Lopez said that the way she dealt with the incident should be applauded, adding that she was delighted to be back in front of the crowd performing again.

Adam Lambert defends his AMAs performance


Adam Lambert has addressed his controversial performance at Sunday's American Music Awards.

Speaking to CNN after the show, the singer claimed that the kiss had been "in the moment" and was not a choreographed part of his performance.

"Part of what I love about being a performer is sometimes you are just in the moment and things happen. Adrenaline is a crazy feeling," he explained.

Lambert went on to say that he had not been trying to make a statement, but "in hindsight, I do feel like there is a bit of a double standard in the entertainment industry".

He added: "I feel like women performers have been pushing the envelope sexually for the past 20 years and all of a sudden a male does it and everybody goes, 'Oh, we can't show that on TV'. For me, it's a form of discrimination and a double standard and that's too bad."

Hey i said that!!!!Sounds like we couldn't agree more!!! Rock on lambie!

Wesley Snipes Appeals Tax Convictions


Wesley Snipes has appealed his three-year prison sentence on U.S. federal tax charges - insisting the term is "unreasonable."

Can't agree more!

The star was convicted in 2008 of three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file his income tax return.

According to prosecutors, who pursued the maximum penalty, Snipes made at least $13.8 million for the years in question and owed $2.7 million in back taxes.

Snipes apologised at the time, insisting he was was "unschooled in the science of law and finance". And again i agree, poor guy!

His attorney accused prosecutors of seeking to make an example out of the actor, insisting the sentence "focused too heavily on deterrence".

Snipes remains free on bail and was not present at the Atlanta courthouse.

The three-judge panel did not issue an immediate decision.

Let's hope he isn't another celebrity biting IRS dust!

Get your damn act in gear Steven-we do love you Tyler, but we will move on without you and continue loving Aerosmith without you!!

Serve the rat right!!

Jennifer Lopez has her ex-husband Ojani Noa under constant surveillance since he publicized plans to release home videos of their brief marriage, according to his lawyer and manager.

Lopez successfully applied for a restraining order against her former partner to prevent him putting footage of their honeymoon in his mockumentary How I Married Jennifer Lopez: the J.Lo and Ojani Noa Story. Earlier this month, the star also launched a $10 million lawsuit against Noa, alleging he had violated terms of a confidentiality agreement he signed in 2005.

Noa slammed his ex after a court hearing where the restraining order was issued, claiming Lopez was "destroying his life" by taking exception to the personal video footage.

Now the Cuban is adamant he is under surveillance by members of Lopez's entourage.

Well ofcourse he is, who would trust this numbskull??

Amy Winehouse Hospitalized Over A 'Leaky' Boob?

However, her dad Mitch has admitted she actually entered the facility because of complications from her breast enhancement operation in October.

He says, "It wasn't because she has a cold. She's fine, she just had a little leaky something or other."

A friend explains to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "She saw something oozing out on to her top. She was worried as to see stuff seeping out was horrible."

Jessica Biel Is Kicking Butt In The 'A-Team' Movie


When i think of A Team i think CHEESY!!!

But, if Jessica Biel says that this time it isn't going to be so then i'm gonna take her word for it!!

"I think I was a little concerned, at first, about whether we were going to be really super-cheesy or dark, or what we'd be doing," Biel said. "I think we've found lots of humor, at the same time that it's quite emotional with dramatic moments. I think it's going to be a lot of different things combined into this one movie. But, there are a lot of throw-backs and a lot of paying homage to the original show."

Biel is credited as Lt. Sosa, but actually said she might be a captain. "It's really fun. I'm getting to work a lot with weapons again, which I haven't done in a long time. That sounds kinda weird, but it's the best to learn about that kind of thing. The cast is wonderful. Joe Carnahan, our director, is hitting the nail right on the head. We've got a really interesting tone going on."

However as "kick ass" as she says it's gonna be, i'm not going to give A-Team an A star till i watch it for myself!!!

Kenyan in New Moon!!!!!


I was so flabbergasted when i realised that a Kenyan actor had cinched his way into 'New Moon'-te second film in the Twilight Saga!!
Edi Gathegi plays Laurent, a vampire, who wants to 'eat' and kill 'Bella', but is eventually shredded to pieces by the werewolves (SPOILER ALERT).
But this isn't the first time Edi has shone overseas, he played Dr Jeffrey Cole in my favourite Dr drama-House and also appeared in 'My Bloody Valentine'this year.
We can definitely expect more from this Kenyan!!

Osbourne 'delighted by McCartney snub'

Ozzy Osbourne was snubbed by Sir Paul McCartney but rather than feeling rejected he was honoured!

Huh??

Well what happened was that the Black Sabbath frontman recalled that he once used a chance meeting with McCartney to ask whether he would like to team up on some new material.

Osbourne revealed that the Liverpudlian declined the offer, but only because he did not feel he could better Osbourne's work.

He said Meeting Paul McCartney was phenomenal. They were in the studio at the same time andozzy tried to get mcartney to play bass on one of his songs.

"to which paul politely declined as he said he couldn't improve on the bass-line that was there. And ozzy asked him if he was kidding? As mccartney could p*ss on the record and ozzy’d make it his life.

Ozzy really has a way with words doesn't he?

Nicolas Cage aging sadly!

Nicholas Cage, who is the United Nations Goodwill ambassador on Drugs and Crime, is in Mombasa Kenya!

He recently made a visit to the Shimo la Tewa GK Prison.

But despite working for such a brilliant cause, The 45-year-old star has looked better.

The poor guys hair is disappearing, and he seems very pale.

Maybe his financial problems are causing premature aging?

Cage is taking his former business manager to court in a multi-million dollar lawsuit, accusing the adviser of sending the actor "down a path toward financial ruin." The star has been hit with a $6.26 million tax lien from Internal Revenue Service (IRS), alleging he failed to pay income tax on wages dating back to 2007.

Cage is also facing other claims of unpaid tax related to his earnings between 2002 and 2004, while he was accused of defaulting on a $2 million loan earlier this month.
Poor guy.

He only sang a couple of songs but the entire pub shut up to listen to his mesmerizing voice!! It got so silent at one point that we would glare angrily at waitresses shuffling around with their drinks!

All i can say is WOW!! To say i was blown away is an understatement!

And guess what, you can catch him for yourself this Friday at Daas restaurant and bar in Westlands from 8.30pm, where he will feature songs from Michael Jackson, John Mayer(and he sounds better than Mr. Mayer himself), Cold Play and ofcourse his own tunes like "Elsewhere" which has become a radio sensation and broken the record for the longest run on the airwaves!!!

MTV Staying Alive Foundation in conjunction with UNICEF and G-Pange, HIV Free Generation have funded a 3 part Drama Series which was shot in Nairobi under the directorship of renowned South African Director, Teboho Mahlatsi and is produced by renowned Kenyan producer, Alison Ngibuini.

The drama series aptly named Shuga promises to be an explosive production which will lift the lid on the sex lives of Kenyan and by extension African youth.

According to my sources, It is a no holds barred production that will push the envelope and address issues relating to youth and emerging sex trends that society is either unwilling to address or is totally ignorant about.Sounds freaking awesome!!

Part of Shuga’s cast comprises Lupita Nyongo who plays the lead role, Valerie Kimani-supporting role and cameo appearances by Jimmi Gait, Nonini, Nameless, DJ Adrian and P Unit.

Keep it here for a review on this!!

Gay Wedding, Liza Minnelli Cameo On 'Sex And The City' Sequel A Hoax



Rumors the new Sex And The City movie will feature a gay wedding and performances by Liza Minnelli and Barbra Streisand has been blasted as a hoax by star Mario Cantone.

Details of the film's top secret plot appeared to have been leaked in recent weeks, with sources insisting the two divas would appear in a ceremony uniting Cantone's character Anthony Marantino and Willie Garson's Stanford Blatch.

Minnelli herself told an Australian newspaper she performed a version of Beyonce Knowles's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)" for the film.

But Cantone insists the rumors are false - hinting they are part of a deliberate ploy to throw fans and the press off the scent.

The actor tells NYPost.com's PopWrap blog, "No, nothing's true. I hadn't even read that. That's hilarious."

And he laughs off the suggestion of a Minnelli cameo: "No, I would have self-combusted! I would have been dead. I wouldn't be here talking to you. I don't even know that she's in the movie."
