Miss Predicto Talks Miley Cyrus and Celebrity Sexting

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Sexting [verb]: The act of sending a provocative  photo of one’s self via cell phone.

milleyThere’s a new epidemic on the rise, and I’m not talking about the peanut butter salmonella scare. Nope, it’s teenage kids (and some adults) unthinkingly sending risque phone pics to each other, only to have them uploaded and gawked at on the Internet.

Celebrities are often on the forefront of most trends sweeping the nation, and sexting is no different. If you type in Miley Cyrus’s name into the Google Images search engine, what will come up are a bunch of photos of Hannah Montana in various sexy poses (wet tee shirt, bare midriff, etc).

A hacker named “Digital Gangster” hacked into her Cyrus’ phone’s photo memory and swiped a bunch of pictures that she had sent to her then-boyfriend, Nick Jonas. So unfortunately, Miley will have those pics following her around the InterWebs until she’s a grandmother. Maybe even until her own kids are grandparents.

Other teen Disney stars like Vanessa Hudgens and one of the Cheetah Girls also had their brushes with sexting scandals. So it seems like a matter of time before another celeb makes a bad judgment and sexts again.

The Predicto Mobile community believes the same thing: 78% predicted that a celeb will be caught ’sexting’ before May.

Take a lesson from Miley’s travails and don’t take any photos of yourself that you’re not comfortable with the rest of the world seeing, okay?

Miss Predicto Talks Michelle Obama Pregnancy Rumors

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

I’m not in the habit of starting rumors–but I can’t help spreading them! Perez Hilton is speculating that our First Lady Michelle Obama is pregnant.

michbabybump1A “bump watch” for Michelle sounds pretty tacky, doesn’t it? But I guess people would like this rumor to be true because America’s already in love with the First Family, and a brand new baby born to our beloved Commander-in-Chief would elevate the poor Obama clan to crazy levels of excitement and scrutiny. Especially if the First Baby was a boy. (OMG, Barack Jr!)

Lately our usual go-to celebs for fun and scandal–Lindsay, Britney, Paris, plus the Jen/Brad/Angie triangle–have been pretty boring. No one’ s shaving their heads or dating wildly inappropriate people.

So if Michelle is expecting, the tabloids will be all over this story like Amy Winehouse on crack. On the bright side, this story could save magazines like US Weekly and Star Magazine from folding. (Sample articles could include “Oh-Baby: The Obamas are Preggers!” and “Sasha and Malia Want to Name the Baby After a Jonas Brother.”)

The Predicto Mobile community is pretty split on this one: 50% predicted that Michelle Obama will confirm rumors that she is pregnant by 4/10.

By the way, an Obama baby would be only the second born in the White House. (President Grover Cleveland became a daddy while in office in 1893).  Could it happen again?
