Will the Rumored Kimmel/Silverman Sex Tape Leak?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Sarah Silverman Jimmy KimmelNothing gets folks excited — literally and figuratively — quite like a celebrity sex tape!

But before you start pounding the keys on Google to see the footage of Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman getting it on, check out the story on this salacious scandal.

According to some guy’s Web site, the two comedians reportedly and accidentally filmed a 15-minute romp and left the tape in their room at a resort. The Canadian blogger, who doesn’t credit their source, then posts screen grabs from the video, though one of the images is from a parody Kimmel did on his show with actor Ben Affleck.

The other two pictures in the spread are a little sketchy, as the guy who is supposed to be Kimmel on the left looks a little different in the body than the confirmed, shirtless Kimmel on the right.

So, does a tape really exist? More importantly, if it does, will it leak to the public? Predicto Mobile community members seem to think so, with 61% saying that it will be released by 10/20!

“Yes it will be leaked and Sarah will not be too happy about it,” says member “Babygirl91506.”

“There are no secrets in Hollywood,” says “?Chula76442?” But does anyone have an interest in seeing this couple’s secrets made bare?

“I hope [it doesn’t get released], but if so, it might make a good horror flick!” says “pri_t_kitty.”

Harsh, but probably accurate. (We were thinking comedy, but that’s probably not any nicer.) Want to find out what happens?

Have Janet and JD Gotten Back Together?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Janet Jackson Jermaine DupriJanet Jackson has never been one to talk about her love life. We knew about her brief but public marriage to the member of another musical family, James DeBarge of the DeBarge clan, and her very-secret-but-then-public relationship with husband Rene Elizondo. Outside of these two couplings, Janet has really only been linked to Jermaine Dupri, the music mogul who originally headed So So Def Records before landing executive gigs with Virgin and Island Def Jam.

The pair dated for nearly seven years before reportedly calling it quits around the time Jackson’s brother Michael died. But these pictures have everyone asking if the duo has reconnected.

Janet and JD were in Milan for Fashion Week when photogs snapped pics of the couple at Donatella Versace’s after-party. Did they both happen to be in the same place at the same time? Or was there something more … planned taking place?

We asked Predicto Mobile community members if they thought Jackson and Dupri would confirm they are once again dating, and the results are overwhelming. Nearly 86% of voters expect an official “yes, we are” from the two by 12/10.

Chris Brown’s Making Headlines … and Not in the Papers

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Chris BrownChris Brown hasn’t done much performing since the February “incident” in which he assaulted his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. Besides filling in for up-and-comer Drake (BET’s Rookie of the Year?) at a tour stop in Virginia, Brown has kept a low profile.

That could change very soon as he may headline a concert. Given that Doublemint gum distanced itself from the R&B crooner, is it surprising that a radio station, specifically New York’s Power 105, would give him top billing in a high-profile show?

The Power 105 Powerhouse concert is set for October 27, and Brown shares stage duties with the likes of Mario, Ginuwine and Trey Songz. There’s no doubting that Brown is one of today’s most engaging performers, who may have an added appeal given his ability to channel Michael Jackson, but will the show go on — with him as a part of the act? 70% of voting Predicto Mobile members predict that Breezy will pack the arena from wall to wall and will perform at Powerhouse.

“I hope this brings him back. It just shows that we are all human!” says member “qpln6511.”

“He is very talented and learning a lesson,” says “ftnv2476.”

“They need to leave Chris Brown alone!” says “npiw8493.”

Have Chris’ apologies appealed to the public to give him another change? (If they haven’t, perhaps this bow-tie did the trick.) If so, he just might feel comfortable enough to take the stage.

Are We Going to Find Led Zeppelin in Guitar Hero Soon?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Predicto image September 24“It’s been a long time since I rock-and-rolled!” wailed Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant in their 1973 hit song “Rock and Roll.” Yes, it’s been a long time since the aging British rock group brought the house down with their ageless repertoire, though Led Zeppelin got together two years ago and pulled off an incredible performance, snow-white hair, wrinkled faces and all.

But what’s really making fans clamor for more Led Zep is the possibility of releasing the band’s tracks in the Guitar Hero video game before the end of this year. The creators of the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games have been very busy these days, rummaging through classic rock catalogs, hoping to lure enthusiasts from all generations to the video games and rake in heaps of revenue. The venture also provides a very lucrative additional source of royalties for musicians. Even one of the greatest among the legends, The Beatles, have recently allowed their tracks to be included in the Rock Band video games, creating a fresh new following for the Fab Four.

One wonders, though, do remaining Zeppelin members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones find the releasing of their hits such as “Moby Dick” in Guitar Hero an appealing prospect?

While 90% of Predicto voters so far say yes, Led Zeppelin will announce they are releasing a Guitar Hero video game by 12/15, the main man himself, Jimmy Page, says otherwise in a recent interview. As for the reason for why they may not release their tracks in Guitar Hero or any video game — well, they are just not comfortable giving game developers access to their master recordings. Also, as for his thoughts on gamers playing Led Zeppelin tracks on fake guitars, Page suggested they pick up a cheap guitar instead and learn how to make it work.

Well, we’ve heard a lot of these denials in the past so most fans probably won’t take Jimmy Page’s word at face value. Who knows? He could have spoken too soon. But fans are willing to put up with anything just to see “Royal Orleans,” “Stairway to Heaven,” “Dazed and Confused” and “Kashmir” in Guitar Hero. With enough demands, fans might just get the rest of the Zep crew to agree to finally release their immortal tracks in video games. Who really knows?

What about you, guys? Have your say at Predicto.com. Do you think Led Zeppelin is going to cut Guitar Hero fans some slack and give them the best Christmas present by announcing the release of their songs in the next GH installment?

Will Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom Break the Record for Fastest Wedding?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Khloe LamarThe most successful stars in the NBA have to be quick on their feet, but Lamar Odom is moving at the speed of light in the love department.

Odom recently hooked up with Khloé Kardashian. The seemingly odd couple were spotted at her step-brother Brody Jenner’s birthday party in early September. Since then, the rumors have been building that the pair were engaged.

Fast forward to now, with the whirlwind romance transitioning from wedding denials to soon-to-be newlyweds. The pair are getting married this weekend!

How serious is this? Well, the bachelor party is set, the couple is already registered and the guests have been invited. It looks like this is one wedding that will happen!

Speaking of the guest list, the Predicto Mobile community is voting right now as to whether or not Odom’s Laker teammate, Kobe Bryant, will show up. So far, 72% say yes!

And once it does, it’s sure to be the most talked about event of the weekend. There’s no doubting that this has definitely raised Khloé’s profile as the most popular Kardashian of the moment (surely you remember her sisters, Kim and Kourtney?).

We can hardly wait to see the pictures from the nuptials, which are sure to be on the cover of all the celebrity weeklies in the next week or so. (Calm down, guys, we’re guessing pics from the bachelor party won’t leave the club.)

NeNe on Real Housewives of … Orange County?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

RHOOC
Sigh. We just can’t get enough of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise … and we’re sort of OK with that. We’re even more excited because of this news.

The Real Housewives of Orange County is set to premiere its fifth season on November 5. Though the spin-offs have been plenty, the ladies of O.C. are sure to bring enough drama to make you remember who started the madness.

But not to be outdone, one of the housewives of Atlanta recently made a stop in the O.C. to dine with the RHOOC’s Gretchen Rossi. Who, you ask? None other than RHOA’s NeNe Leakes, the self-proclaimed “realest housewife” of the ATL set.

With all these pictures of the dynamic duo, Rossi’s man Slade and NeNe’s less-than-eager-to-be-present husband Greg, will this footage make its way on to RHOOC during the season’s first few episodes in November? 64% of voting Predicto Mobile members say yes.

Since RHOA had one of the series’ best debuts when it premiered this summer, perhaps this is a way to build buzz for the ongoing Real Housewives saga? What do you think will happen?

Will Robert Pattinson Guest Host Saturday Night Live?

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Robert PattinsonTwilight’s core fan base may have to stay up late in the future.

Though he’s not currently scheduled to appear, word has it that Robert Pattinson has somewhat of an open invitation to host Saturday Night Live.

It’s not uncommon for stars to have this honor when they are at the peak of their career or at least have a new project out. And Pattinson definitely fits the bill with his soon-to-be blockbuster known as New Moon coming out in November.

Predicto asked if he’d have the honor of hosting the show this season. 72% of voting Predicto Mobile community members think that he will announce that he’ll appear on the show by 10/30.

“Of course he will. He is hot right now. My 14-year-old daughter loves him. I know she will beg to stay up and watch!” says member “5757.”

“I don’t think anyone has gone wrong by going on SNL. It always seems to be a career booster,” says “txqr0911.”

“I doubt it, he doesn’t seem desperate enough for work to need to be a host. Also, I do not think he’s the type to do anything but acting,” says “sjkn4759.”

Is Drake BET’s Rookie of the Year?

Friday, September 18th, 2009

DrakeBET recently announced its nominees for its Hip-Hop Awards. Of course all of the usual suspects appeared multiple times, including Kanye West, Eminem, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.

Newcomer Drake scored three nods: MVP of the Year, Lyricist of the Year and Rookie of the Year. How did a relative unknown from Canada become one of the most in-demand names in the rap industry?

Well, after a series of mixtapes and being featured on the network’s 106 & Park, Drake was romantically linked to Rihanna, though their “relationship” seems to have been nothing more than a rumor. He affiliated himself with Lil Wayne’s clique, Young Money, and embarked on a tour, despite hurting his knee. He even appeared on 2009’s BET Awards and had a single climb all the way to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (“Best I Ever Had”).

Not bad feats for the soon-to-be 23-year-old and worthy ammo for a Rookie of the Year nomination. But will he win when the awards are broadcast on October 27? 72% of voting Predicto Mobile players say yes!

From Runway to Superhero Gig for Tim Gunn

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

A line of more than 200 people snaked around Times Square’s world-famous comic book store Midtown Comics for the debut of Models, Inc., the new story created with the help of some very fashionable folks. Fans waited to meet Tim Gunn from Project Runway, who didn’t just act as a consultant to the hot Marvel Comics issue (which sold out in one day), but also donned the Iron Man costume–even if only in the comic book’s pages. With notable comics illustrator Phil Jimenez (Wonder Woman, Spider-Man) sitting next to him, Tim signed issues of Models, Inc. and posed for photos with his admirers. “It was phenomenal enough for me to be a character in Models, Inc.,” he said.

“But when Marvel contacted me I thought they had the wrong person… The best part of this is the surprise element, not knowing quite where this is going, and being completely wowed by it when you see it.” Predicto TV got an exclusive interview with the stylistas, who gave us the scoop on the best-dressed heroes. With New York’s famous Fashion Week underway, Tim said he was happy to visit the comic book store, and meet the crowd. He and Phil also played Predicto, and answered questions about hot topics in pop culture.  Check out Episode 40 of Predicto TV now!
