The “Smize” Have It … Will Tyra?

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

showimgIt’s hard to not love Tyra. This statement, of course is debatable. We at Predicto LOVE Tyra, especially after last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model.

Fans of the show are aware of Tyra’s trademark technique: smiling with your eyes. No matter what you have on or what crazy position you find yourself in, if you’re a model, the key to selling the product and the image is convincing onlookers with those baby blues (or browns, greens, grays and others).

Since this season’s run of ANTM features petite-sized models, Tyra feels it’s more important than ever for her protégés to strike a fierce face.

So important, in fact, that she dressed in nerd-girl attire before transforming into superhero, Super Smize, and posing harder than Vogue Evolution on America’s Best Dance Crew.

Remembering that the Smize is Tyra’s signature move, will she trademark the term by 1/10? 74% of voting Predicto members say yes!

Will Lark Voorhies Play Whitney Houston?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Lark VoorhiesWhen Lark Voorhies isn’t playing Lisa Turtle on Saved By the Bell, she’s … well, Ms. Voorhies hasn’t done much since she graduated from Bayside High.

Sure there have been made-for-TV movies and direct-to-DVD releases, but the high-profile projects have eluded her, such as Mario Lopez’s stint as host of America’s Best Dance Crew, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s roles in NYPD Blue and Raising the Bar.

That could change soon as rumors are circulating that music mogul Clive Davis is producing a biographical movie of Whitney Houston’s life. Word has it that Lark has been tapped for the flick’s lead role.

Clearly Lisa Turtle’s time in Hot Sundae is paying off, as this gig would likely raise her profile to SBTB levels and potentially lead to more projects down the line.

So, will Voorhies confirm she’s been offered the role in a Houston biopic by 12/10? 69% of voting Predicto members say yes!

“They look similar in ways and she hasn’t done anything in a while,” says member “pshe4779.”

“It would be a major career opportunity,” says “bcxu0367.”

“I think she would do well playing the star. She has the poise and grace Whitney has and the looks. Good luck to her,” says “drdk4341.”

“Voorhies is a no-name, [she] will not fit the role,” says “jafn9130.”

If Mr. Big Can Get Married, What’s Chris Noth Waiting For?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

The internet was a buzz today with news that Chris Noth just got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Tara Lynn Wilson. It seems that everyone was so excited that Mr. Big and Carrie Bradshaw finally tied the knot in the Sex and the City movie that they wanted a happy ending for his portrayer too. Alas, Chris quashed those rumors at GossipCop.com, calling them “completely bogus.”

Well, perhaps it’s “bogus” as of this moment, but who knows? Maybe he’ll enjoy playing Carrie’s husband in the SATC sequel so much that he’ll change his mind. Could Chris Noth surprise us all and get married before Sex and the City 2 wraps?

The Predicto community is split on this issue, with 50% predicting that Chris Noth will exchange wedding vows with his girlfriend before filming ends.

“If there’s a marriage, they will either elope to avoid the paparazzi or get hitched well after production. I’d say a month before the premiere,” says ”myag3044″.

“Why are we always in a hurry to get people married off, counters “vallynandmatt”.

Why indeed? Perhaps it’s just a simple fact that we love to see celebs get married!

Will Miss Piggy Denounce Lady GaGa for Stealing Kermie?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Kermit Lady GaGaOh no she didn’t! Lady GaGa may have had one of the biggest nights in MTV Video Music Award history with her big wins and hot performance, but is she about to become the other woman in a scandalous love triangle?

You see, when GaGa went to the VMAs, she was seen smooching with none other than Kermit the Frog. Kermie is dedicated to one Miss Piggy, the diva of all divas.

It’s common knowledge that our favorite sow is pretty much obsessed with Kermit, whether he accepts this or not. She can’t be pleased with GaGa smooching up on her man.

Predicto wondered: Will Piggy denounce Lady Gaga for strutting around the hottest event in music with her frog by 10/1? 67% of voting members say yes!

“That’s Ms. Piggy’s man. I would be upset, too,” says member “orwf9157.”

Miss Piggy“Miss Piggy owns Kermit. She is probably kickin’ his @$$ now,” says “johnel.”

“Get your own frog!” says “npiw8493.”

“Maybe Lady GaGa and Miss Piggy should do collaboration,” says “rqhx7049.”

It could be called “Porker Face.” OK, bad joke.

After the MTV Fiasco, will Kanye Skip His Leno Performance?

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Kanye West Taylor Swift
The MTV Video Music Awards are a known hotspot for controversy. This year’s event was no exception, and neither was its igniter: Kanye West.

After an electrifying tribute to Michael Jackson by various dancers and Janet Jackson, the awards started to make their way out to their soon-to-be owners, specifically the one for Best Female Video.

One of the contenders was Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It),” which has achieved iconic video status, but the category’s winner was Taylor Swift’s “You Belong to Me.” Once Swift began her acceptance speech, West took to the stage and took the microphone from her. He recognized that Taylor’s work was good, but then proceeded to say that Beyoncé’s video was one of the best of the decade. Swift looked heartbroken in the background, while Beyoncé looked embarrassed.

Kanyeezy was booed and it wasn’t long before producers kicked him out of the awards with girlfriend Amber Rose in tow.

Many attendees and celebrities took to their Twitter accounts blasting Kanye’s behavior. Everyone from rapper Pitbull to former American Idol Kelly Clarkson seemed to be on Team Taylor.

In a classy move, Beyoncé, whose “Single Ladies” won Video of the Year, expressed how excited she was to win her first VMA with Destiny’s Child when she was 17. After expressing how important that moment was to her, she invited Swift back to the stage so that she could finish her speech.

Since then, Kanye continues to be the most hated man in America. Given that he’s set to perform on Jay Leno’s new prime-time show tonight with Jay-Z and Rihanna, Predicto wondered: will he skip out on the show due to the VMA fiasco? 74% say no and expect Kanye to make his scheduled performance.

“Just because Kanye told Taylor off doesn’t mean he’s not going to do the hottest TV show with a legend like Jay-Z,” says member “rxfm2252.”

“If he skips out it will only show that he was totally wrong in what he said. It would be like admitting guilt,” says “warpony75.”

“I think Mr. West ticked off a lot of people at the show and should apologize to them tonight,” says “pxbo7193.”

“I want to challenge Kanye to a fistfight for being disrespectful to the entire entertainment industry by being a punk for real,” says “kqnc9334.”

Yowza! Let’s not get into any fights over this. After all, as host Russell Brand said, last night was about love. Maybe not everyone practiced it in a way that everyone else agrees with, but we speculate that TV ratings, album sales and “boos” will let Kanye know how folks feel about this situation in the long run.

Is Jennifer Aniston Going the Brangelina Way?

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Jennifer Aniston picJennifer Aniston is adopting a child. Well, not just yet, and 54% of Predicto voters say not at all. But the other side of the issue is whether Jen would possibly adopt a child this year is some indication that she is trying to copy Angelina Jolie, who went on an adopting spree with Brad Pitt. We have to wonder, if that were true, is Jen trying to discreetly woo Brad Pitt back to her side? Maybe not and she’s probably not trying to copy Angelina’s “fondness” of adopting children either.

Why She Might Adopt This Year

Jen could be in need of some loving. She is currently nursing a broken heart (which she nicely conceals). As one voter aptly puts it, Jen has got a lot of love to give. Maybe this time she’ll share a piece of that extra love not to another man, but with a child. Yes, fixing a broken heart does not require another partner.

Additionally, now that she has a lot of time on her hands as she is not currently caught up in any projects, she can give some serious thought to adopting a child this year. After all, adoption is a downright serious move that requires a lot of serious thinking.

Oh, Jen probably thinks she’s not getting any younger, and with no one to have kids with at the moment, why not just adopt one this year?

Perhaps this equation will sum up the possibility of Jen adopting a child soon:

Jen being lonely + lots of time on her hands + getting a little bit older = adopting a child soon

Why She Might Not Adopt This Year

Jen probably has a lot of better stuff to do this year. Who knows? She could spend her time traveling, hanging out with friends, booking some lucrative projects or even hook up with another guy. She might need a man more than a child at the moment, anyway. How many times has she nursed a broken heart? And in any of those instances, how many times did we hear her plan about having a kid? Even during her on-off relationship with John Mayer, the media was buzzing with sightings of Jen’s supposed baby bump. So, why believe old news now?

One of the reasons why Jen might not adopt a child this year is that she hasn’t found out yet that she can’t have a child. Or has someone told her there’s no way she could?

As far as Jen is concerned, she is having the time of her life these days, despite the broken heart.

So, is Jen going the Brangelina way this year or not? Visit Predicto.com and have your say!


Will Paula Abdul Be a Guest On Ellen’s Talk Show?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Ellen DeGeneresIt’s official! American Idol has finally found a fourth judge — but it won’t be Paula Abdul returning to her seat on the hit reality show.

Instead, fans of the ratings juggernaut will have to get used to talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres, who will serve as the “voice” of regular folks who watch the show.

Meanwhile, Paula has been mum over her satisfaction or displeasure with the situation. Her Twitter account hasn’t posted a new message since yesterday and none of the gossip blogs are reporting any exposés on her comments.

Ellen is hoping that Abdul isn’t mad at her and that she can fill the role as the compassionate judge, but maybe Paula would come and tell Ellen exactly what she thinks … on her show?

Predicto asked and our members responded. Nearly 73% of voters think that Paula will appear on Ellen’s talk show by 12/1.

“Ellen would be put in a bad spot if Paula started bashing Idol. I don’t think it will happen,” says member “JG24Fan.”

“Ellen is a true pro. She would do it, just to improve her show,” says “wilburforce2004.”

“Say what you want about Paula, but she is a peacemaker, not a drama queen. She knows Ellen has nothing to do with the Idol B.S.,” says member “uoik7221.”

“I’m glad Paula [is] gone, but Ellen [is] not a good replacement,” says “AngelKT.”

Will 17-Year-Old Melanie Oudin Face Serena Williams at the U.S. Open?

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Melanie OudinRafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Serena Williams are names most tennis fans expect to see in the U.S. Open’s winning brackets, but an unexpected, 17-year-old American contender is joining the fray.

Melanie Oudin of Georgia was ranked No. 70 in the world when the Open began. She’s since beaten powerhouses as Maria Sharapova, Elena Dementieva and Nadia Petrova to secure a spot in the quarterfinals, a feat not accomplished for someone so young since Serena Williams.

Speaking of Serena, if Williams wins her bracket and if Oudin beats Dutch player Caroline Wozniaki, she’ll face off against the multi-year champion in the women’s finals.

So, will Oudin take on Williams? 77% of voting Predicto members say yes!

“That would be a good match to see on TV if the 17-year-old beats Serena Williams,” says member “xagc9657.”

“I think she will play against Serena since they’re both good,” says “btfv0634.”

“[Oudin] is done! Her luck runs out tonight,” says “JG24Fan.”

“I think Serena will have a run for her money,” says “owrz1348.”

Did Tila Tequila Have More Than a Shot This Weekend?

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Tila TequilaHave you heard the latest drama starring Tila Tequila? It involves an NFL player, alcohol and conflicting stories, and we couldn’t think of a more delicious recipe for disaster.

Over the weekend, Tila was partying at a nightclub and at the home of her boyfriend, Shawn Merriman, who happens to be an outside linebacker for the San Diego Chargers. The bisexual beauty — who had two dating-reality shows on MTV (A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila and A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila 2), claims to be allergic to alcohol and is the most popular person on MySpace — was apparently so drunk that Merriman insisted she stay at his house in order to sober up before hitting the road.

A seemingly reasonable request, but at this point, Tequila says that Merriman choked her and knocked her to the ground, though he and witnesses deny this. Tila called the police and made a citizen’s arrest that sent the Charger to jail for seven hours. He was released only after posting a $58,000 bail.

With the mixed messages coming from the alleged perpetrator and the victim, something likely contributed to the distraction from the truth. Was it the alcohol Tila tweeted about, to which she is supposedly allergic? We asked the Predicto Mobile community to offer their thoughts on whether or not Tila will admit to drinking that night, and nearly 53% expect that Tila will come clean about drinking by 9/15.

See what voters had to say!

Everyone has an opinion about Tila Tequila, whether they love her or hate her. Her tally in either category could increase depending on what the truth reveals about what went down in San Diego.
