Will Chastity Bono, Now Known as Chaz, Marry His Female Partner by 12/20?

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Chastity Bono 2Chastity Bono, daughter of singing duo Sonny and Cher, is undergoing a sex change and now goes by the name of Chaz, according to his publicist, who stressed using masculine pronouns to describe the child of one of the most popular gay icons.

Chastity made headlines nearly 20 years ago when Star magazine outted him, but Chastity publicly and officially came out years later in an issue of The Advocate magazine.

The process will sneak Bono past the recently upheld Prop 8 in California, which bans new marriages for same-sex couples (though those who married in the time frame it was legal retain married status). Basically, Bono will be able to marry his longtime female partner.

The Predicto Mobile Community thinks wedding bells are in Chaz’s future, with 76% of respondents predicting that he’ll marry his partner by 12/20.

“Why not tie the knot when you have been together for a long time?” asks member “gfbk2191.” “Marriage [is the] next logical step,” says “spidey,” who also voted yes.

“I think he will just keep dating,” says “ivct6152,” who voted no, speculating that Chaz may not pop the question anytime soon.

Friday, June 12th, 2009

R. Kelly Trapped in the ClosetIt’s been almost two years since Sylvester and company wrestled with all of the drama of the “Trapped in the Closet” series. What started as a seemingly innocent tryst has escalated into R. Kelly’s 22-chapter story arc filled with cheating, ­little people and “the package.”

Kels has a new album in the works, set for September release, and fans of the most dramatic body of work outside of daytime television are hungry for answers!

Predicto Asks: Will Jay-Z Accept Mos Def’s Challenge to Battle for “Greatest Rapper Alive” Bragging Rights?

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Jay-Z 3Jay-Z holds the title of “Greatest Rapper Alive,” but Mos Def thinks the lyrical genius should step up and defend his crown.

Mos Def appeared on The Angie Martinez Show on New York’s Hot 97 FM on Tuesday, where the radio personality asked him about a video posted on YouTube back in March. On the video, Mos Def expressed his desire to go toe-to-toe with some of today’s hip-hop heavyweights, including Jigga, Lil Wayne and Kanye West.

“Friend or foe, I love you all,” Mos Def said on air and in a story featured on MTV.com. “But I’m saying, if you saying that you’re better than Slick Rick, who is still very alive and well, you saying that you’re better than Rakim, you saying you’re better than Black Thought — and the people making that claim have never been in a position to have to defend that in an open forum.”

Mos Def’s idea for that forum is the New Orleans Superdome, complete with a battle of the bands, breakers and DJs. In the main event of the “Battle of New Orleans,” Jay and Mos Def would each pick their team of four MCs for the back-and-forth. His dream team would be Black Thought, MF Doom, Jay Electronica and Nas.

Mos DefThe Predicto Mobile community thinks this dream will come true — though maybe in a smaller venue — with 82% of voters predicting that Jay-Z will accept Mos Def’s challenge to defend his status as “Greatest Rapper Alive” by 10/15.

“Jay-Z turn down a battle? I doubt that will happen,” says Predicto member “hskh2308.” “Jay-Z would win by a landslide,” says “gigs3448,” but “orcv2469” says, “Punk ass bitch [referring to Hova] won’t give someone that can beat [him] a chance.”

User “dgpr8750” says that neither of them deserves the honor. “Lil Wayne already has the ‘Best Rapper Alive’ title.”

Who will be crowned the top MC? First Jay has to agree to participate, a date has to be set, a place has to be found … it could be a while. But for instant access to the latest predictions, visit Predicto.com, sign up and start playing today!


Predicto Wonders: Will Kendra Ask Hef to Be the Godfather of Her Bun(ny) in the Oven?

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Hugh Hefner Kendra Wilkinson 2Kendra Wilkinson is going from girl next door to mom next door.

The reality TV star and her fiancé, Philadelphia Eagles Wide Receiver Hank Baskett, announced that they are expecting their first child together. The pair is also set to marry later this month.

What will Kendra and Hank name their bundle of joy? According to People.com, if the baby is a girl, expect a combination of Kendra’s first initial and her middle name, Leigh, for the hybrid Kaleigh. If it’s a boy, he’ll follow in the tradition of his dad, Hank III, and be christened Hank IV.

Everybody wants to know if the future Mrs. Baskett will ask her ex, Hugh Hefner, to be the child’s godfather. Within the Predicto Mobile community, 65% of respondents predict that she will ask Hef to take on the role.

“She probably wants her kid to be financially stable for the rest of [its] lifetime with a great godparent,” says user “rmis0391.” Others agree, but for more gold-digging reasons. “She will for the money and gifts that may come with it,” says “vaez8677.”

“Why would you want your ex to be the godfather [of] your child [with] someone else?” says no-voter “gejf5983.” “That would be weird. I wouldn’t ask my ex to do that.”

“Kapv6134” also says no, along with, “Hef might not be the best “spiritual guide” to choose.”

Regardless, we wish Kendra and Hank the best of luck throughout her pregnancy. We can’t wait to see how this plays out on her TV show.

Predicto Ponders: Will Speidi Really Stay Gone from I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here?

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Speidi Spencer Pratt Heidi Montag 2Spencer and Heidi Pratt are at it again!

The notoriously fame-hungry couple has exited NBC’s I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! for the second time in the show’s brief run.

Things got crazy last week when the duo took off their mics during filming and requested that the show’s producers return them to The Hills. But they returned soon after and, as punishment, were forced to stay in the “Lost Chamber,” a spider-filled room away from their fellow celebrity survivalists.

Spencer’s sister, Stephanie, posted on Twitter that her brother and Heidi were locked up for three days with no food and water, a claim the show’s producers immediately said was untrue. Heidi apparently became sick and repeatedly threw up as many as 30 times during the ordeal, and her health has been cited as the reason for their departure.

The story doesn’t stop there. Replacing them in an upcoming episode will be Heidi’s big sis, Holly Montag. The Predicto Mobile community predicts that we haven’t seen the last of Speidi on I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! About 65% of those voting expect to see Spencer and Heidi on a future episode this season, much to their displeasure.

“They are all about drama and the spotlight. They will do anything to get some time in front of the camera,” says Predicto member “trpx8143″, echoing that many believe this entire scenario has been a well-organized publicity stunt.

“Why can’t they die instead of rising up like Jason [from the Friday the 13th movies] in every sequel?” asks Predicto peep “nwyd4298″ . Well, we don’t want to see them die, but maybe the wannabe celebs should focus on her health for a while rather than trying to get even more attention.

Do you like seeing who we’ll be booted off cheesy reality TV shows? Then check out Predicto.com and start playing today!

This just in: Speidi has a new feuding partner and it’s lovable weatherman Al Roker. The Today‘ show personality ripped the pair during an interview and later on his Twitter account, saying they had reached minute 11 in their 15 minutes of fame. (Follow @predicto on Twitter!)

Nearly 61% of respondents in the Predicto Mobile Community expect Roker to apologize to Speidi by 6/30. “Al is a great guy and would never maliciously hurt anyone. I am sure he will apologize if they are upset… and the babies they are, I’m sure [he will]!” says user “Jasmineari.” “Upnx3099″ predicts — and hopes — for just the opposite. I sincerely hope he doesn’t. In fact the news programs should really stop wasting our time talking about them.”


Predicto Asks: Will Injured Bret Michaels Show Face After His Accident at the Tony Awards?

Monday, June 8th, 2009

It was anything but a good time for Bret Michaels at Sunday’s Tony Awards.

The lead singer of Poison took to the stage with his band and cast members of the musical, Rock of Ages. After a roaring performance, Michaels began his exit offstage, only to be hit in the face by some descending scenery.

Bret MichaelsThough a publicist called him a “trooper” because he planned to attend some after-parties, it’s reported that Michaels opted out for a date with an X-ray machine. His nose, apparently, was not broken during the incident, which pummeled the Rock of Love star to the ground.

Being practically knocked out by the props may put your average celebrity out of commission, but 78% of the Predicto Mobile community predicts that Michaels will make a public appearance by 6/20.

“Bret is a true star that never wants to be out of the light for any time at all, no matter what happens,” says Predicto Mobile member boge6407. Wmq1572 agrees, saying that, “Bret Michaels isn’t going to stay out of the spotlight because he got slapped. He is the man!”

UPDATE: The Predicto community got it right: Bret showed off his injuries on his MySpace page a few days after the show.

This will be the most talked about moment from this year’s awards. To find out about and predict the outcome of other hot topics, visit Predicto.com and sign up today!


Predicto Asks: Will Bradley Cooper or Will Ferrell Get the Last Laugh at the Box Office?

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Summer 2009 has been dominated by a lot of big-budget, special effects-laden movies so far. We’ve gotten Wolverine, Star Trek and Terminator Salvation in quick succession, with future blockbusters Transformers and Harry Potter just on the horizon.

land-of-the-lost-enikThis is a quieter weekend for the movies, in terms of A-list star power and fiery explosions. But hopefully there will be lots of laughs, with two high-profile comedies going head-to-head for your time and money.

Will Ferrell’s been on every talk show on the planet promoting his movie remake of Land of the Lost. Based on his PR hi-jinks, all we really know about the movie so far is that he tries to attack Matt Lauer and a T-Rex attacks him. Will the movie be as  fun as the corny 70s TV show its based on? Most of the critics say nyet, with one particularly harsh reviewer opining, “When it comes to movies, there’s good stupid and there’s just plain stupid. Land of the Lost is just plain stupid, and that’s not good.”

The Hangover has been getting much better buzz despite its lack of tabloid-friendly celebs. Bradley Cooper’s probably the most famous face in the movie, especially since he was rumored to be dating Jennifer Aniston for a half-second. But you don’t need movie stars when you have a good premise: three guys lose their buddy after a crazy bachelor party (but they gain a baby, a tiger and a Mike Tyson cameo, so it all evens out).

The critics seem to like this movie a lot. One critic wrote: “Every summer needs at least one silly, dirty comedy, but The Hangover may end up being one of the few to actually get the mix right.” Silly? Dirty? Sounds like a recipe for box office success!

The Predicto Mobile community agrees: 58% predict The Hangover will make make money than Land of the Lost this weekend. Looks like Will Ferrell might be the one waking up with a hangover on Monday morning.

UPDATE: The Predicto peeps were spot on. The Hangover was #1 at the box office, making it the first sleeper hit of the summer!
