This guy is really, really good

So, the judges on 'America's Got Talent,' got a big surprise recently when a Britney Spears inpersonator came on the scene.

One judge, the British guy, rolled his eyes the whole time.

Another screamed and laughted while the impersonator performed.

The third, the Hoff, just looked a little confused. Ok, he looked a lot confused.

I don't blame them.

This guy is good. Yes, I said this guy. Check him out:


I mean, really good. If it wasn't for his really, really sharp features, he could be Britney.

Hey, Brit, do you need a body double?

I think you may need to hire this guy. You could have him leave your house and let the stalker paps chase him while you go about your merry way.

When you felt like being photographed, which we know you do sometimes, you could go out. If not, send out the decoy and then go live it up.

Just think about it, Brit. It could be a good investment.

'Sex' really does sell

The 'Sex and the City' movie has grossed more than $120 million at the box office, and is still going strong.

A saucy movie about the lives of adult women is officially a blockbuster.

For those not familiar with this goddess of a show, it was an HBO show that ran from 1998 to the early 2000s, and can be seen in re-runs on TBS most nights.

I'm so happy for the girls and the movie, which totally rocked, by the way.

If you've seen it, why not treat yourself and go again.

If not, you've got to plan a girls' night out for 'Sex.'

(That sounded so dirty. I love it!)

Miley's missteps

By now, you've seen or heard something about the controversial photos of teen star Miley Ray Cyrus.

If not, here's the dish:

Miley, 15, otherwise known as the pop music and Disney television show star Hannah Montana, recently had a photo shoot with Vanity Fair and photography great Annie Leibovitz.

Both Miley's parents, creepy dad Billy Ray Cyrus, and her mother, whatshername, were at the shoot, and approved the photos.

However, when the naked photo from the shoot, with Miley draped only in a sheet came out, all heck broke loose.

Miley said Leibovitz's shots "embarassed" her. Leibovitz said the portrait was approved by Miley and her parents, and that it is art.

Here's one of the many stories on the controversy.

What made me mad about the whole deal was the following quote from Disney about the whole thing:

"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines," a network statement said.

What?!?!?!

Are they serious?

An update on your boy

Do you remember that weird guy that urged the world to "Leave Britney alone!"

Well, I know you guys have been hungry for an update on Chris Crocker's status.

That's right, ya'll, Chris Crocker is in the house. (Yeah!)

Here's a story on him and some video, just in case you forgot how. . . special his is.

Great eye make-up, Chris. You've come a long way from this video.

Just playing. You still suck.

Laugh, baby, laugh

This baby is sooooo cute.

In this video, the little guy goes all out, even falling over with his giggling.

Look at him in his cute, little footed pajamas. . .

Awwwww. . .

There's just something about baby laughter.

Stand by your man?

By now, most have read about Eliot Spitzer's "failings" involving a prostitution ring, and his wife standing by him during the fallout.

In this AP story, the reporter remarks about his "his weary-looking wife, Silda."

I'm weary of this whole situation.

What is up with the wife having to "share" her husband's public humiliation?

He's the one who was with a prostitute.

He's the one who spent roughly $80,000 doing so.

He should be the one who has to face the public and answer for his behavior - not her.

If I was Silda, I would be at home trying to comfort my three teenaged daughters, and helping them through this mess.

Spitzer would be on his own.

What the. . .

I'm not sure what PETA was trying to say with this display in London this week.

Was the animal-rights group saying. . .

That fat girls make good pigs for random demonstrations?

That moms are pigs?

That boobs on display mean don't eat pigs?

Pig cages are cool decorations and come with scantly-clad juicy girls?

I have no idea.

However, I'm not keen on them putting this pleasantly plump girl on display. Again, what are they trying to say?

Then again, I guess she had to agree to be put in a cage, darn near naked, in the middle of the street for all to see her jiggly parts.

Sigh.

What a world, dear readers. What a world.

*Thanks to www.perezhilton.com for the link to the PETA demonstration. He's one of my favorite hot spots for gossip and other web weirdness.

Have you guys seen this?

A friend of mine passed this video on to me.

I'm not a fan of the sandwich and what does a baseball bat have to do with it?

However, this cat is getting down, and the tune is kinda catchy.

I think Mo and Seven party like this at night while I'm sleeping. This helps explain why I can't get any good sleep.

In the good news department, I think I've found a new ringtone.

Someone even thought this would be a good idea for an American Idol audition.

Nice.

Can't get enough? Here's more.

Have you ever watched. . .

Flavor of Love on VH1?

I've been known to watch this hot mess of a reality show in all its ghettofabulousness.

This dose of reality television is a quest to find love for Flava Flav, a hip-hop personality who used to be a front man for rap legends and the supergroup, Public Enemy.

I hate to admit it, but the show's kind of addictive.

I get a kick out of watching these hootchies fight over a hip-hop has been who looks like an ugly bug.

My day job

When I'm not writing highly amusing blog posts, they make me write news stories.

Here's one from Sunday's newspaper:

People's Annual Man Candy list

It's that time of year again - a time for one of my favorite hot men lists.

Each year, People magazine puts together a list of Hollywood's yummiest man candy, with guys who are sexy and, did I mention, smoking-hot?

This year's list is as awesome and chocked full of strong chins, flat abs and smoky eyes as ever, with favs like Matt Damon, Patrick Dempsey and Ryan Reynolds.

Young, talented and sexy Justin Timberlake, and the guy with the sexy eyes on Entrourage, also made the list. On the people.com site, there are also other features with hot men on display this month.

My favorite "fat" movies

Some of my favorite movies have fat people in them.

When I'm feeling down about my weight, I'll watch the "The Nutty Professor," the one with Eddie Murphy, and his interesting array of characters. My favorite scene is the first family dinner scene. I LOVE the dad's monologue on Oprah, and Luther Vandross.

Here's the scene:
