Will Bret Michaels Recover by “The Celebrity Apprentice” Finale?

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Bad news for Bret Michaels! Over the weekend, the frontman of Poison was hospitalized because of a brain hemorrhage.

Even worse, Donald Trump says Bret is in “big, big trouble and the prognosis is not so great.”

The Donald, who has allegedly been in contact with Michaels’ hospital, puts a positive spin on the situation, though, saying that Bret’s competitive spirit is what will ultimately save his life. (He should know, given that Michaels’ is a contestant on the current season of Celebrity Apprentice.)

No word yet on what caused the hemorrhage, but it may lead back to his performance during 2009’s Tony Awards. After rocking out with the cast of the show Rock of Ages, Bret was clobbered by stage scenery. He recovered quickly and because the external damage faded, everyone wrote off the injury. Could that be coming back to haunt Michaels?

Though fans are unsure of what will happen during this scary situation, 55% of the Predicto Mobile community expects Bret to recover in time for the Celebrity Apprentice finale in May!

“I think Bret Michaels is a fighter and he will make a full recovery. All his fans are praying for him,” says member “vkuh7812.”

“Bret Michaels is a strong person, but I think it would be a miracle and way too soon if he returned to the show,” says “zlkc7830.”

“He will recover, but will not appear in person on the finale. It will be via live video feed,” says “qobi9534.”

“Bret Michaels has to live, he is the life of rock and roll,” says “kenq8636.”

Will Justin Bieber Beat Snoop Dogg?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

There’s a new teen king on the scene and his name is Justin Bieber.

The 16-year-old Canadian singer has already scored a spot among Predicto Mobile’s Top 6 Celebs to Watch in 2010, but is he also about to rule the Billboard 200 album chart?

Last week, Bieber released his latest album, My World 2.0, the follow-up to 2009’s My World. Justin recruited Ludacris and Sean Kingston for collaborations on his much talked-about sophomore disc.

Since the release of his debut, Bieber’s profile has skyrocketed, resulting in participation on the remake of “We Are the World,” attending the Grammys and performing at last weekend’s Kids Choice Awards. Oh, it helps that Usher is his mentor and his manager has been jailed for causing a near riot in Long Island, N.Y.

Of the other high-profile releases that came out last Tuesday, the one that has the star power to potentially stop the new kid on the block is West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg with his latest, More Malice.

Predicto asked its members who they expect to take top honors when the charts are revealed this week. 67% say Justin Bieber will rank higher!

Questions and Quarry at the NYC Premiere of ‘The Bounty Hunter’

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Why did director Andy Tennant of The Bounty Hunter shoot down the idea of a Catcher in the Rye movie? How come Gerard Butler didn’t learn a thing about relationships, while working on this film alongside Jennifer Aniston? Find out the inside story as Predicto TV hits the red carpet for the NYC Premiere of The Bounty Hunter.

We talked to stars from the new romantic comedy, plus Miss USA Kristen Dalton and Kendra’s own Kendra Baskett. Check out their celebrity predictions and behind the scenes tales about the making of The Bounty Hunter. Watch Episode 61 of Predicto TV now!


Will Chris Brown Retire?

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

By now, everyone is familiar with “the incident” in which Chris Brown and his then-girlfriend Rihanna got into a physical altercation. The encounter left her battered and bruised, and lead to Brown serving hundreds of hours of community service — narrowly escaping a much harsher punishment.

Since then, both artists have released new albums, but to polarized results. Rihanna managed to crack the top 10 of Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 with “Russian Roulette,” “Hard” and “Rude Boy,” while Brown barely made a dent with “I Can Transform Ya” and “Crawl.”

As the publication’s Artist of the Year for 2008, Breezy should be able to bend the charts at will, something he seemingly did ever since stepping onto the scene in 2005 with his debut single, “Run It.”

That power is quickly slipping from his grasp, as he made a plea to his fans for some help. In an audio message posted on SayNow.com, Brown basically says he’s still being blacklisted from radio, despite his many (many) apologies and his good behavior obtained by serving his sentence.

But the fans don’t seem to be turning out, buying fewer albums and not calling in to request for his songs. Could the lack of support lead Chris into an early retirement? We asked the Predicto Mobile community and 75% of voting players say that he WON’T quit the music-and-performing game.

“Chris has already been through a lot and just because he is going through a tough [time] doesn’t mean he is going to quit doing something,” says member “ztnc3168.”

“He will keep trying to make a comeback,” says “thbn2341.”

Predicto Picks Shining Stars at the Oscars

Monday, March 8th, 2010

The Oscars have come and gone, marking the end of the awards season. Fortunately, viewers were given plenty of memorable moments as the stars aligned during the ceremony.

The Predicto Mobile community speculated via SMS on who would appear, what would happen and — most importantly — who would win. One of the Academy’s recipients was none other than Sandra Bullock, who claimed the Best Actress title for her role in The Blind Side. But America’s Sweetheart also scored another accolade for her acting, winning the Razzie award for her part in All About Steve opposite Bradley Cooper. Bullock became the first person to be named the best and the worst in the same year — a feat that 69% of the Predicto Mobile community expected her to accomplish when the nominations were revealed earlier this year.

Bullock wasn’t the only winner in the house, as Mo’Nique walked away with an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. The honor comes as no surprise to Predicto players, 65% of whom said the Queen of Comedy would win for her dramatic portrayal of the mother in Precious.

Beyond the awards, one of the most talked about events of the Oscars was Ben Stiller’s appearance on stage dressed as one of the Na’vi people of Avatar. Originally pulled from the show, 81% of Predicto players were sure Stiller’s skit would return, especially after director James Cameron himself gave approval to the comedic piece. A more touching moment came from the stars from The Breakfast Club, who showed up to pay tribute to director and friend John Hughes, who passed away last year. 73% accurately predicted that this was one class reunion that the Brat Pack wouldn’t want to miss.

Once again, the Predicto Mobile community proved that it’s on the pulse of what’s hot in movies.

Predicto Ponders: Where Should the ‘Real Housewives’ Go Next?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Explosive cat fights, shameless product plugs and endless drama — it must be time for another Real Housewives series. In fact, the third season of The Real Housewives of New York premieres on Bravo this week. The Big Apple edition of the franchise is sure to provide plenty of fodder for the Predicto Mobile community, whose players are always on the pulse of the hottest happenings in pop culture, news and sports.

Since Bravo’s hit reality show has already taken over Orange County, Atlanta and New Jersey with its housewife high jinks, Predicto would like to offer its suggestions for future seasons of the franchise.

Texas: Everything is bigger in Texas and Predicto is pretty sure that applies to drama as well. One option is the Preston Hollow neighborhood in Dallas, where stars of the show could mingle with President and Laura Bush while tailgating at Cowboys games. Another is Houston, whose oil money has surely produced a few wealthy executives with wives who enjoy living a lavish lifestyle.

Salt Lake City: Utah’s capitol is a Rocky Mountain paradise, complete with the greatest snow on Earth. The ski bunnies of neighboring Park City’s elite could heat things up with affairs, hissy fits and snowball fights. Throw in the wife (wife singular, as polygamy is illegal in the state) of a prominent figure within the Church of Latter-day Saints and RHOSLC could be quite the downhill slope.

Scottsdale: Phoenix’s eastern cousin is a literal hot bed of tanning, cosmetic surgery and people who are thisclose to knowing someone who knows someone in Los Angeles. Year-round sunbathing, expansive homes and bleach-blond hairdos only spice up the inevitable cougar hunting, near divorces and over-the-budget purchases.

Alaska: Housewives of the “lipstick on a pit bull” variety will rough it out (or not, for the sake of viewers) in the vast wintry landscape. Likely living in the only houses for miles, the housewives will tolerate their fellow Sarah Palin admirers, but will constantly be rolling their eyes, backstabbing and talking smack about their “girlfriends” as they take their kids to hockey practice.

The current crop of Real Housewives stars always keep busy with their antics — such as Atlanta’s Kim reportedly dating a woman, OC’s Tamra possibly cheating and a potential guest spot on RHONY by their New Jersey counterparts. That won’t stop anyone from eagerly anticipating where the show might expand to next. And don’t forget to check out Predicto TV’s “Best of the Housewives” episode, which you can watch above.

Where would you like to see the housewives franchise go next?
