The Dixie Chicks are Reuniting on Tour

The ‘Dixie Chicks’ are back!  The group hasn’t released a new album since their successful 2006 album, ‘Taking the Long Way.’  Fans feared the end of the ‘Dixie Chicks,’ when Martie Maguire and Emily Robison formed a new group without lead singer Natalie Maines, called ‘Court Yard Hounds.’  Fear not! Their tour begins in Toronto on June 8, 2010.  The Eagles and Keith Urban will also be joining them.  No word yet on whether the group will start recording new music anytime soon.

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler Love to Keep us Guessing

These two are at it again.  Here’s a brief recap: Jennifer Aniston is pissed that the media is accusing her of faking a relationship with Gerard Butler to promote ‘The Bounty Hunter.’  She’s hates the accusation, but she and Butler still enjoy plenty of friendly pawing.  See the snuggle fest below. 

‘American Idol’ Needs to Bring Back Alex Lambert

It’s definitely not possible to bring a contestant back at this point.  That being said, the fact that Alex Lambert didn’t make the top 12 on American Idol, further proves my point that they should have had a wild card round this season.  Lambert might end up with a great career though.  His online following is growing.  Watch him perform below so that you can join me in my disappointment. 

Director of ‘The Cove’ Finally Gets to Give his Oscar Speech

Louie Psihoyos, director of ‘The Cove,’ was finally able to give the Oscar speech that he was robbed of at the actual ceremony.  I’m not sure if you noticed this at the Oscars, but when ‘The Cove’ won for Best Documentary, Ric O’Barry (a dolphin activist) held up a sign that said “Text Dolphin to 44144.”  The Oscars freaked out when they saw the sign, and they turned off Psihoyos’ microphone while quickly cutting away from the stage.  As a result, Psihoyos was unable to give his speech.  George Lopez came to the rescue on ‘Lopez Tonight.’  Watch his speech below.

My Favorite American Idol Performance

He didn’t get a lot of compliments from the judges, but he blew me away.  Watch Lee Dewyze perform ‘Beast of Burden’ below.  If this guy wins, at least I can officially say I called it.

Eddy Grant Accuses Gorillaz of Ripping off His Song

Eddy Grant has accused Gorillaz of ripping off his song, ‘Time Warp,’ for their new song, ‘Stylo.’  Because Grant and Gorillaz share the same label, Grant is pissed at EMI for not alerting him to the rip-off.  I have listened to both songs and definitely see similarities, though I don’t know that it’s blazingly obvious.  Listen below and see what you think.

James Cameron is a Big Hypocrite

In a recent interview, Cameron said that he is opposed to movies trying to convert their films into 3-D in post production just to garner ‘Avatar’ style money.  Cameron said that the film should be shot in 3-D, rather than spending 8 weeks converting the film into 3-D after it’s already been shot.  Here comes the hypocrisy: Cameron is converting Titanic into 3-D for the 100th anniversary of the ship sinking.  I think he’s just pissed that this 3-D craze might cheapen a sequel to Avatar. 

Chris Harrison Likes to Grab Men’s Butts

Okay, I confess that I took some liberties with this title, but I could’nt resist. In a recent interview, Chris Harrison described how nervous the bachelors get when they first meet the women. What does he do to help them? He slaps them on the butt of course. Harrison said, “Every time those limos pull up they are scared to death, they’re nervous as hell. I slap them in the butt and I say, good luck, go get ’em. Don’t let me down.”  Wow, what a nice guy.
