After all, to quote Sasha Fierce, isn’t it time for Reggie to put a ring on it? He’s been dating the most famous Kardashian sister since 2007 (save for a temporary breakup last year), and surely Kim is ready to have her own star-studded wedding televised on her E! reality show. She already let Khloe beat her to the altar–can’t imagine she’d let Kourtney do so too!

Brangelina has been caught up in a rumor for the past week about the status of their hotter-than-hot relationship. The couple — who isn’t married — has been together for close to five years. Their happy home includes three adopted children and three biological. How could they even consider splitting up what seems like such a happy home?
Well, there are those rumors about Brad and Jen rekindling the romance that Angelina reportedly came between. Then there have been other cheating rumors involving Jolie and a dialect coach from her forthcoming movie, Salt.
But gossip such as this has always been a part of one of this sexy couple’s everyday itinerary. Why is everyone taking these rumors so seriously now? Are the tabloids right on? Are the rumors correct? And, most importantly, will they attend the Oscars to battle these things that people are saying?

Most of the year 2009 in music swirled around a few names for different reasons. Everyone went gaga over Lady GaGa and the Black Eyed Peas jump-started parties worldwide with feeling that tonight was going to be a good night. Outside the stage and the recording studio, we all saw how the violent altercation between Chris Brown and pop princess Rihanna turned into a media circus.
While everyone everywhere was running at such a crazily high speed, Taylor Swift went another way, slowly but surely winning people’s hearts. Already, at the tender age of 20, she has achieved more than 20 Top 40 hit songs, an MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video and hosted Saturday Night Live. She even picked up the distinction of being chosen as Entertainer of the Year by the Associated Press. She’s also the official celebrity spokesperson of the National Hockey League, along with being the cover girl of a slew of magazines. Not a bad way to close out the decade, wouldn’t you think?
The party doesn’t end there, either! Taylor Swift has been nominated to win no less than the prestigious Album of the Year award at the Grammy Awards on January 31. It comes hand-in-hand with nods for Best Country Album, Song of the Year, Best Female Vocal Performance for “You Belong with Me” and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for her song “Breathe” with Colbie Calliat.
To many fans, this is no surprise: her second album, Fearless, has been simply dominant on the charts, going straight to No. 1 and staying on track to be one of the most downloaded albums ever. Fearless is also a critics’ darling, hailed by connoisseurs and casual fans alike. It ended the year as the best-selling album, beating back stiff challenges from artists such as Susan Boyle, who finished second, and the late great Michael Jackson, who finished third according to Billboard.
So will Taylor Swift ride it to the end with a Grammy in tow? She’ll have to stand up to the competition there, and stiff it will be. The Album of the Year award is also being chased by Lady GaGa for smash hit The Fame, Dave Matthews Band’s Big Whisky and The Groogrux King, the Black Eyed Peas techno-inspired hip-hop opus The E.N.D. and R&B diva Beyoncé’s I Am … Sasha Fierce.
Once upon a time, American Idol was a televised karaoke competition. Young, aspiring singers would pour their renditions of Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and Bonnie Raitt on to the stage. Their dreams were praised or crushed (much more fun for sadistic voyeurs in the audience) by the presiding panel of pop music, consisting of Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell.
The drama was mostly relegated to the show, with a few bouts between judges, but now the off-camera antics of the justices are upstaging the talent!
Who can forget when Paula Abdul — reportedly offered less money than fellow judge Cowell and host Ryan Seacrest — parted ways with TV’s ratings juggernaut last year? Or when Kara DioGuardiand Ellen DeGeneres joined the ranks? Well, another judge is making headlines by packing his bags and exiting Idol. Cowell is ditching the slowly declining mega-hit for the U.S. version of The X Factor.
For the uninitiated, The X Factor is a British televised karaoke competition that’s similar to Idol and discovered previous winner and reigning pop queen, Leona Lewis. Cowell is bringing it to the states in fall 2011 and announced that the current season of Idol will be his last.
With his announcement coming just days before American Idol’s season premiere, attention has gravitated to the question of who will join sinister Simon at the judges’ table. Naturally, one of the names that has come up is that of Paula Abdul.
Paula hasn’t had much going on since her departure from Idol after Kris Allen was crowned. If the olive branch was extended, would she sign up for The X Factor?

NBC’s head honchos at 30 Rock have created quite the mess for late-night TV, but will its moves behind the scenes send one of its stars walking?
Prior to Conan O’Brien hosting The Tonight Show, Jay Leno held hosting duties after the retirement of the legendary Johnny Carson in 1992. Jay’s run lasted until earlier this year, when it was announced with much hype that Conan would be taking over the seat. Additionally, Leno would be getting a new prime-time variety/talk show that would air at 10 p.m. EST.
Leno’s experiment has been lauded by NBC as performing at the levels the network expected, but affiliates have complained that the scheduled lead-in from Jay’s new show has made the ratings for their evening newscasts drop.
The proposition on the table is for Leno to host a half-hour program starting at 11:35 p.m. (after most stations wrap up their news) with Conan’s Tonight Show pushed back to a 12:05 a.m. start time and Jimmy Fallon airing at 1:05 a.m.
It looks like NBC’s programming will be on hiatus in February thanks to the Winter Olympics, but once the schedule resumes, this new lineup is said to be taking place.
TMZ reports that NBC has given Conan a choice: stick with the new schedule or gracefully walk away from a contract that was originally supposed to last until 2014.
Looks like late-night viewers can’t have their cake and eat it, too, but what do you think is going to happen?

Ah, Lady GaGa. Not since Madonna and her cone bras have we seen a performer with such an outrageous sense of fashion. Since her debut, her music has spread through the airwaves like wildfire. Blunt, fringed platinum-blond hair, French-cut one-piece suits, sequined opaque shades and all, Lady GaGa has become more than a Billboard chart-topping star — she has become a fashion icon.
Early last year, Lady GaGa announced her interest in designing her own clothing line, which would promote her unique style and would cater mostly to the teen audience. She expressed genuine enthusiasm in the project, saying she couldn’t wait to do her own line within the next year. Well, it is now “next year” and we are all wondering what has become of her little fashion project.
Many are of the opinion that it is a definite possibility that Lady GaGa will launch her own fashion line. She already has a large degree of creative license in her own personal and performance clothing style. The fact that she continues to design her own clothing and accessories means that she has an immense drive to create and express herself, not only through music, but also through what she wears. Whether or not she is as enthusiastic at sharing her style with others now as she was last year remains to be seen.
There is also the question as to whether or not Lady GaGa’s fashion will fly among today’s trend-savvy teens. After two extremely successful album releases, we are confident about Lady GaGa’s influence in the music industry. Some say the release of her clothing line will rock the very foundations of modern fashion. Others say her fashion sense is simply too eccentric to be developed into a mainstream fashion line. Even some fans of Lady GaGa admit that — as much as they love her music and admire her bold sense of style — they are not quite sure whether they can wear clothes the way Lady GaGa does.
But we’re not asking about the Lady GaGa’s line’s potential for success. We are asking how soon it will be released.
You’ve got to hand it to Sir Richard Branson. He’s not just a billionaire, he’s fun. He’s not stodgy or creepy or any of that sort. As the leader of the Virgin group of companies, Branson has taken risks time and again to give people something special.
This time, Virgin is about to do something out of this world — literally. He has established Virgin Galactic, a new company dedicated to the exploration of suborbital space flight with an eye toward opening the doors for private flights. The group has done several tests on spacecraft prototypes and the progress being made has been cited as encouraging. It has been projected that “space tourism,” once a buzz word for an industry that never fully materialized, may finally become a reality at last.
What makes this story interesting is that it opens the door for people who may never really cut the grade at NASA to get out there and explore the cosmos. After all, flying into outer space is a dream a lot of us have and no high-profile celebrity has been in pursuit of that dream like former N’SYNC member, Lance Bass.
Bass, like some of the other members of defunct boy band N’SYNC, has been busy leading a largely private life after the singing group disbanded. One of his major endeavors penciled in as early as 2002 was to take part in a documentary of a celebrity going out into space. He was chosen due to his affinity for space travel, as it has been his lifelong dream to fly into space.
What happened next, however, was no less than a dashing of dreams, as sponsors started backing out of the project. Bass had already gone through the paces of preparation, such as moving to Star City, Russia, having corrective heart surgery for his cardiac arrhythmia and learning to speak Russian as part of the job. Yet, for fear of possible accidents and the media backlash that would occur if something went wrong with Bass’s maiden space voyage, the proposed documentary fell through.
To this day, Bass maintains that he would love to try and travel that proverbial final frontier sometime in his life. That was years ago. Now, with Virgin Galactic, the technology may be the key to making Lance Bass’s hopes of space flight real.
As fans of truTV’s ‘Haunting Evidence’ know, John J. Oliver has an uncanny knack for looking into the future. Naturally, we were “psyched” when this professional psychic offered to talk celebrity predictions with Predicto TV.
Ever gracious, John was nice enough to stop by our office and spend some quality time discussing what we can expect in 2010. After we’d granted him one vital request – that during our in-depth interview he be able to face south for optimal feng shui – he settled in and gave us some seer-ious 2010 predictions. In part 2 of our chat (watch Part 1 here) he clairvoyantly tips us off as to whose new year will be smooth sailing, as well as who can expect rocky roads ahead.
The Predicto TV team was invited to many great events throughout 2009. No matter how exclusive the guest list, sometimes it seemed everywhere we went, members from the cast of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ were in the house.
The ladies had plenty to share with us, but the number one topic was usually whether or not controversial Kelly Bensimon will be back in 2010. A lot of Predicto members voted to kick her off and even those who didn’t made sure to let us know they weren’t supporting her with their votes. Member “kristileigh” for instance commented that Bensimon would NOT be dumped, but added “Kelly has some issues.”
Issues aside, the girl appears to be a survivor. As the Bravo series’ third season nears its premiere, we’re already hearing that Bensimon is at the center of dramaand tossing barbs at mom-to-be Bethenny Frankel. See what other juicy morsels the ‘Housewives’ offered up to our cameras – check out Episode 55 of Predicto TV now!
