Buzz Bites — 6/10/09: BRITNEY SPEARS SAYS TO SELF IN THE MIRROR EVERY MORNING: "FML!!!"

Posted 6/10/09 6:49 pm EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music

+ Finally, we get some confirmation from the people who change Britney Spears' batteries each day that yes, she IS dating her agent Jason Trawick (much to her daddy's delight, because the guy also happens to be one of her brother Bryan's best buds). Between numerous tour dates in Europe, dates with Jason, (play)dates with her kids, and U.S. tour dates just added, poor Brit Brit should be so GRATEFUL that she has all these people in her life! She's a fuggin' ROOMBA without a tray to empty!! <beep bop boo bop> (People)

+ Speaking of blondes with doting daddies, Jessica Simpson roamed around NYC last night with her chicken cutlets pressed up into her chin for no apparent reason. (What Would Tyler Durden Do)

+ It's just boobs and babes today at Buzzworthy!!! AaaaHOOOOOOga! Former Spice Girl and footballer's wife Victoria Beckham was spotted in London superbly shipshape, with nary a nippenstruden left to the imagination. Thanks Tore! (Agent Bedhead)

+ We're not sure how we feel about this, but fashion-forward Kanye West (after cooing about how amazing she is) announced that he's going on tour with Lady Gaga (no opener, just two performers side by side). Personally, we think HE should be opening for HER! (MTV News)

+ Also, while vacationing in Hawaii, it looks like Lady Gaga was fishin' for shrimp and caught one -- by the name of "Speedy." Jay kay -- it's her longtime boyfriend. Not kidding about his name being "Speedy" (wonder if he is insecure about her beasti-- bisexuality). Oh - and she's not. wearing. ANY. makeup. so prep yourself for that. (Daily Mail)

+ We told you yesterday about Miley Cyrus twisting into a Twitter tizzy about Nick Jonas and her boyfriend Justin Gaston breaking up. But that's not all! She's puttin' her foot down and screamin' to news outlets everywheres! Her Tweets are "not news people!" (Twitter)

+ And here's those crazy kids bein' all cutesy wutesy tootsey on the set of "Before The Storm," the song that the Jonas Brothers wrote and she and Nick Jonas recorded together (again, yesterday's news but we GOTTA KEEP YOU UPDATED!!!). (Socialite Life)

Buzz Bites — 6/9/09: MILEY CYRUS LOVES BREAKUPS (UNLESS YOU'RE READING HER TWEETS)!

Posted 6/9/09 5:55 pm EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music

+ It's a big day in blogland today, particularly for Miley Cyrus. First, she's been Tweeting a trail of tears all over the place about her alleged breakup with boyfriend Justin Gaston after recently leaving town to go shoot a movie in the South. (Twitter)

+ Then, her EX-ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas confirmed that he and Miley did indeed record an alternate version of a song originally sung by The Jonas Brothers. (Twist)

+ ...though it seems that Nick might have a had a little more to do with the split than they're letting on, as reports surface that the former couple were recently seen goofing around on the set of a music video, and also "writing" a song together in a dark movie theater. Hmms.... (E! Online)

+ If you can believe it, soul goddess Adele (also aMAYzing as MTV's first artist in the resurrected Unplugged series) actually canceled her first tour -- for booze and a boy. (ICYDK)

+ Oh yeah. Adam Lambert is gay. (MTV News)

+ And he had a mancrush on Kris Allen. (MTV News)

+ Photoshop moment of the day: Beyonce hustling hard in these Japanese water ads. (Bossip)

+ If Simon Cowell has his way, Zac Efron will play the lead role in the remake of Saturday Night Fever. How anyone could think John Travolta's performance could be matched, we will NEVER know. (Limelife)

Weekend Buzz Bites — BRET MICHAELS PROBABLY ISN'T CRACKING A SMILE

Posted 6/8/09 6:31 pm EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music

+ VH-1 reality star and Poison frontman Bret Michaels probably does NOT need to be reminded to "Open Up And Say... Ahh" for a Vicodin cocktail after getting pretty banged up at the Tony Awards last night. He suffered a broken nose and sundry other minor injuries when a piece of the set fell on top of him during the opening act. Get better, Bret! (MTV News)

+ Tons of stars like Rihanna, Adam Levine and his hot tattoos, Zac Efron (meh) and more turned out on Sunday, not just for the Tonys but for the Lakers vs. Magic game in L.A. (Neon Limelight)

+ A Jeff Buckley biopic may be in the works again, with James Franco among the brooding teen heartthrobs interested in the role. Franco is a dead ringer for Buckley, but can he sing?? (The Tripwire)

+ Possibly trying to make up for the debacle that was her Species-esque hairdo at the 2009 Movie Awards, Megan Fox moooooooore than redeemed herself at the premiere of the Transformers sequel in Japan. YOWZA! (Socialite Life)

+ Today's Twitter fight is brought to you by the picture of sobriety Lindsay Lohan and resident hottie Dr. Drew. (PopEater)

+ And speaking of sober sallies, Pete Doherty was holed up in a airplane restroom shooting smack like a pro. (Celebrity Smack)

+ More big news today from MTV Movie Awards winner Miley Cyrus, who announced an upcoming fall tour with her brother's band, Metro Station, AND the August launch of her joint-venture Wal-Mart fashion line with designer Max Azria. (MTV News)

+ Check out this behind-the-scenes video from the set of Lady Gaga's latest single, "Paparazzi." (Popnography)

Buzz Bites — 6/2/09: ARE THE VERONICAS ON THEIR WAY TO MTV REALITY?

Posted 6/2/09 3:25 pm EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music, Videos

+ Are Aussie superstars The Veronicas in serious talks to do a U.S.-based reality show with MTV? If so, we'll totally sit with you at lunch! (news.com.au)

+  It's nice to see Adam Lambert can ease back into his former American Idol life. Last night he was seen tooling around L.A. with his supposed boyfriend Drake "Cheeks" Labry. Hard to say which set of cheeks he is nicknamed for... (Popbytes)

+ Poor Britney is being forced to continue with the European leg of her mega-grossing Circus tour against her will, or so an insider says. (MSNBC)

+ Note: Amy Winehouse wants black kids. In the meantime, she's boozing it up in St. Lucia. (Daily Mail)

+ And somewhere thousands of miles away from Amy Winehouse, super cutie Taylor Swift is not boozing it up, but probably getting embarrassed by her dad. (People)

+ While out on an Australian press tour for her new album, Kelly Clarkson skipped hair and makeup and decided to put on some jeans (instead of those horrible black flared stretch pants she's so fond of). Baby steps, Kel. Baby steps. (ICYDK)

+ The owner of the banged-up Maserati that he lent to Lindsay Lohan has listed the P.O.S. on eBay. Funny how none of the damage the car sustained is listed. (TMZ)

+ Sade is working on her first album in nine years. Excuse us while we drive home in our Chevy Astro to pick up some 2" pillar candles at Pier 1 for the bubble bath we've been waiting nine years to have. (Reuters)

Weekend Buzz Bites — EMINEM GETS A LOOKIELOO AT BRÜNO'S BEST 'ASS'ETS!

Posted 6/1/09 5:16 pm EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music

+ So the big moment that everyone is talking about today is from last night's MTV Movie Awards, when Brüno flew down in what looked like a feathered jock strap and nearly sat on Eminem's face. Let's just say Em didn't wait around to see Zac Efron win for Best Male Performance. (MTV Movie Awards)

+ P.S. Megan Fox doesn't really give a s*** what you thought about her hairdo at the Movie Awards. Suck her Tweet! (US Magazine)

+ Joss Stone is willing to pony up millions of dollars to be let go from her recording contract with label EMI. Add her name to the list of bands or musicians who have left the label since 2007, including the Rolling Stones and Radiohead. (NME)

+ Shy crooner Susan Boyle came in second on Britain's Got Talent, then promptly checked herself into the hospital for going a little exhausted from all the media attention. Get better, Susie. (ICYDK)

+ P!nk slammed Kanye West recently for showing up to a Stella McCartney fashion show wearing fur and talking about how he wished designers used more fur (all while the VP of PETA was sitting in earshot). Whups? (Bossip)

Buzz Bites — 5/29/09: LAMBERT TO AIKEN: ANY PRESS IS GOOD PRESS, RIGHT??

Posted 5/29/09 3:31 pm EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music

+ Adam Lambert took the high road (sort of) in response to Clay Aiken's bitter blog rant about his performance on this season of American Idol. (PopCrunch)

+ On the "Lamchop" tip, looks like this year's American Idol runner-up could be the next frontman for Queen. (Prefix)

+ Mmm... if you're hurting for a smooth cover of No Doubt's "Don't Speak," Chrisette Michele has the perfect remedy for you. A beautiful rendition, indeed. (Neon Limelight)

+ Outspoken fashion queen/rapper Kanye West doesn't like books (or reading for that matter) -- which is why he wrote his own book and wants you to buy it now. (Reuters)

+ Is this for real??? Ciara is giving away her Fantasy Ride CD for free when you buy a large chicken sandwich from KFC?? Is this real life? (Fierocia)

+ Friday LOLZ: In case you didn't see that hysterical vid of Katharine McPhee getting attacked by paparazzi and then promptly saved by an outspoken homeless woman, FunnyOrDie has released a spoof of said video. You MUST watch. (Seriously? OMG! WTF?)

Posted 5/28/09 2:45 pm EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music

+ Twitter seems to be the sounding board for a lot of celebrities to vent their frustrations with many things. Today, rapper Eve ranted (with plenty of expletives, to boot) about that whole Chris Brown "I ain't a monster" thing we told you about yesterday. And boy did she let him have it! (BET)

+ Here's our little angel David Archuleta being all cute and Hibachi-like at a kids' charity event in North Carolina. (Archuleta Avenue)

+ Courtney Love has been sued yet again, this time for missing a couple (hundred) payments to her AmEx Gold card. Oops! (ICYDK)

+ This week's "uh-oh Britney" moment: our girl did a recent shoot for Elle and, though she was wearing expensive clothes, managed to dirty up the duds as only a woman can. (Hot Momma Gossip)

+ Recent cover art depecting Brooke Hogan as some sort of oil-painted Tupac angel was so not fake. OOF! (IDLYITW)

Buzz Bites — 5/27/09: SPENCER PRATT IS THE FUTURE OF HIP-HOP????

Posted 5/27/09 3:48 pm EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music

+ How on earth anyone takes Spencer Pratt and his so-called burgeoning rap career seriously is beyond us. Still, he's been getting interviewed by the likes of Complex and XXL. Really? WTF?? (The Tripwire)

+ Rihanna makes an appearance in Kanye West's new video "Paranoid." Word of advice: Less 'Ye, more Ri. KAY?? (JustJared)

+ This just in: Buzz-crush Honor Society has announced their first-ever headlining tour! (Buzzworthy)

+ Because we all give a s*** what Chris Brown is doing these days, he kindly let us know via YouTube that his new record is coming out soon. Oh. And he ain't a monster. (MTV News)

+ Um. Ok. This month's Rolling Stone will feature a verrrrrrrrrry Carol Kane-esque Lady Gaga. The bitch is everywhere!!! (Rolling Stone)

+ Here's Pitbull beating the ever-living s*** out of a poor concert-goer. Way to be. (Holy Moly!)

+ HA! Seems like #unfollowdiddy is the hottest trend on Twitter right now. Go figure. (Twitter)

Buzz Bites — 5/26/09: THERE'S MORE TO WOMEN THAN BOOBS AND BLONDE HAIR, LARRY KING!

Posted 5/26/09 5:34 pm EST by in Buzz Bites, Celebrity, Music

+ Tuesday LOLz: 75-year old CNN dinosaur Larry King was out grabbing a sandwich at an L.A. deli when he mistook Gwen Stefani for Christina Aguilera (and only realized his mistake after he asked for an autograph for his son and saw that the signature wasn't right). FAIL! (PopCrunch)

+ Katy Perry (who is reportedly back together with boyfriend Travis McCoy) is a hard-working woman with curves, and she ain't hawking shoes to pay the bills. For now, anyway. Hey -- something's gotta pay for her fashion obsession! (Star Magazine)

+ While we're on the K.P. tip, holy GOD does Ms. Perry make me want to take a cold shower after seeing her in the new issue of Complex magazine. Must. Print. These. Immediately. (Complex)

+ The Black Eyed Peas have been releasing track previews from their upcoming album The E.N.D., and the latest (which just happens to be the second off the album), "I Got A Feeling," sounds like it will be the summer anthem of 2009. (Neon Limelight)

+ Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo says to get ready for your very own Weezer-branded "Snuggie." Do you think he's really serious?! (The Tripwire)

+ If it's hard for you to believe that 25-year old Mandy Moore was recently married to singer Ryan Adams, then you're not the only one who's getting used to it. (People)

+ FInally, former Wilco (who Mandy Moore namechecked in a recent Buzzworthy video interview) band member Jay Bennett  passed away in his sleep this past weekend. (MTV News)
