Justin Timberlake For President: Americans Agree! In these fractious, Red State/Blue State times, it’s kind of surprising that all Americans can agree on our next president, even if the majority vote does go to Justin Timberlake. Yes, according to a brand-new survey conducted by Public Policy Polling, JT was the overwhelming choice when folks were asked which musician they’d like to see as president, being named in 34 percent of all surveys. Adele and Beyoncé also were favorites for the White House, getting 19 and 14 percent,...

It’s like devils on the wall — big, scary eyes and big, scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we’re...

The Cyndi Lauper-scored “Kinky Boots” has earned a leading 13 Tony Award nominations, with the British import “Matilda: The Musical” close behind with 12. “Kinky Boots” is based on the 2005 British movie about a real-life shoe factory that struggles until it finds new life in fetish footwear. Lauper’s songs and a story by Harvey Fierstein have made it a crowd-pleaser. The haul did not match the record number of nominations for a musical, which is 15, set by “The Producers” in 2001...
Just when you think teen superstar Justin Bieber couldn’t possibly do anything dumber, he does something that makes you do a double face palm. Bieber is truly achieving the impossible: He’s making Lindsay Lohan look good. So what did Bieber do this time? Well, over the weekend he stopped at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. This museum is dedicated to preserving the memory of Anne Frank, whose chronicle of her family’s efforts to hide from the Nazis during World War II would later become “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Bieber...
“ah, hell no. If you want a new image; count me out” Lady Gaga once wore a dress made of meat, but apparently even she has her limits. The pop superstar reportedly turned down an offer of $1 million to play at the Republican National Convention. Turns out an independent conservative group – American Action Network – courted Gaga to perform in Tampa, Florida, last summer at an event “honoring women who run for public office.” The rejection is probably not much of a surprise, seeing as how Gaga isn’t...
“I may not be able to sing but I have great abs!” Justin Bieber is 19 and, for the first round of his birthday celebration, stripped down to show off his trim body. Because that’s exactly what you do when you get a year older, right. Right? “Great show! Now gonna go celebrate 19! Thanks,” the birthday boy tweeted late Thursday about his “Believe” tour performance in Birmingham, England, before heading out to party. The “Beauty and the Beat” singer left the show clothed but arrived at...
“You can’t touch this” Rapper MC Hammer launched a string of tweets Saturday with his side of the story two days after he was arrested in northern California for allegedly obstructing an officer. Among his tweets, Hammer said, apparently referring to the arresting officer, that he was asked whether he was on parole or probation before the man tried to pull him out of his vehicle Thursday night. Police in Dublin, east of Oakland, said Hammer was in a vehicle with expired registration and he was not the registered owner. “After...
“First I get snubbed by Grammys now my video stream crashes.” Justin Bieber’s Sunday night didn’t go exactly as planned. After being snubbed by the Grammys, the live chat he planned for his fans didn’t work out either. Fresh off his “Saturday Night Live” gig, the Beebs scheduled a video stream with his fans at the same time as the awards show (how convenient). “I’m gonna do an hour live video stream tomorrow at 8 est I’m gonna play some new music and answer questions send this to ur friend ”...
