Hayley Williams of Paramore

One of the hottest new bands rocking currently rocking the radio is Paramore. I can’t imagine anyone not loving them. The name Hayley Williams will soon be as well-known as Fergie, Gwen Stefani, and Rihanna.

She and the rest of Paramore were in Manchester (UK) Tuesday. The pictures are absolutely amazing - click each t-nail to see the larger view.

As if poor Jessica didn’t have enough trouble being one person. Fate, which must be pissed at the Simpsons like it’s never been pissed at anyone before, has dealt up a Jessica clone.

The clone’s name is Lynsey Nordstrom and she has stepped up to claim her very own 15 minutes of fame.

Apparently, the former nanny (she left that job to work full time as a Jessica Look-A-Like) was sent to the Cowboy’s vs Giants game by the New York Post. She was seated a few rows behind the Cowboy’s bench in an effort to cause distraction. I don’t really think the Giants needed any help distracting Dallas, but whatever.

Jessica #2 colors her hair and wears brown contacts to “pull off” the Jessica look. She’s also spent a great deal of time working on the smile and facial expressions.

The Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson pictures in this post are from the premiere of Cloverfield. (Can’t wait to see this one!)

I honestly can’t get past how adorable Pete and Ashlee look - they always seem so happy and in love. People make a lot of jokes about her surgeries and about how he dresses, but come on. Compared to a lot of the crazies out there, these two seem perfectly harmless to me. Really, who are they hurting?

Frankly, I think Ashlee looks gorgeous - this color of hair is perfect for her beautiful eyes and skin tone. And her legs…are you kidding me?

Being the classiest girl on the planet…okay, number two - but Brit’s gaining on Lady Winehouse…. is a full time job. But, somehow, Britney’s up for the challenge.

Britney Spears and her shadow, Adnan Ghalib have been leading the paparazzi around on a ridiculous shopping spree the past week. Showing up for court to fight for her sons is something she can’t be bothered with, but just try to get in her way if fast food, Starbucks, or shopping is near. One of their most infamous stops was at the Betsey Johnson store in Sherman Oaks where Britney apparently came out of a dressing room completely naked (agggghhhh), according to Life & Style:

“I was blown away. Britney’s private parts were right in front of me!” a store employee tells Life & Style. “I grabbed a dress to cover her and she screamed, ‘Get away from me! Don’t you f—— come near me!’ says the employee. “Then she disappeared in the dressing room with Adnan for 45 minutes. They were making weird noises. It was disgusting.”

When the dynamic duo finally came out, Britney continued to amaze with her beauty and brains:

“I couldn’t understand a word she was saying. She was slurring and spitting, and talking with a British accent,” says the employee. “Her face was covered with cold sores and acne, and her scalp was patchy. I wanted to help her, but she was so mean that I left her alone. “Then she muttered, ‘F— you!’ and left the store.”

You know, on second thought, I think Britney has not only passed Amy Winehouse in the race of class…..she’s left her in the bloody dust.

Amy Lee fans will love this one - it’s absolutely breath-taking. There’s an “other worldiness” quality to it that pretty much sums up Evanescence’s music. Some artists always keep you anxious, wondering what they’re going to do next, Evanescence is that way for me. I know it’ll be amazing.

Speaking of amazing, I couldn’t possibly be MORE psyched for American Idol to start back up tomorrow night! These early rounds are so freaking fun.

The Good:

Country sweetheart Taylor Swift is one of the few stars who’s actually as sweet as they look. Her record label president gave her a new hot pink truck on her 18th birthday. She has donated the truck to one of the coolest charities on the planet: the Victory Junction Gang, a charity that helps children with terminal illnesses.

Taylor also is actually laughing off a bizarre fan encounter that would have most stars speed-dialing their lawyers at best, knocking teeth out at worst. A fan apparently ran into the back of her car … and then asked for her autograph.

“Somebody hit my car and then asked me to sign a broken piece of my taillight,” she told the Canadian news site canoe.ca.

Then things got crazier as the first accident caused another one.

“It was crazy,” said Swift. “Five minutes later, this other woman saw me on the side of the road and decided that she wanted to get an autograph for her daughter. So she pulled over to get my autograph and then somebody hit her car. It was quite the experience!”

The Bad

I have received so many e-mails about Britney Spears. People ask me if I like her music (I have liked a lot of her old songs - they were fun, catchy, the girl has a good voice.), if I hate her (I honestly don’t hate anyone), and what I think of her train wreck of a life. I feel sorry for her, because personally I think she’s pretty messed up. If I were going to hate anyone, it’d be people who would take advantage of someone like Britney….like the photographer she’s shacked up with.

I think that, like most people, this whole thing ceased being even mildly amusing when she locked herself in a room with her two innocent little boys and refused to give them back. Reports say that the youngest, Jaden, even has a bruise where she was holding him so tight, refusing to let go of him. (NOW she wants them?!?! What about all of the court-appointed meetings she couldn’t be bothered with attending or the time she had to turn them over to K-fed and then celebrated by partying all night?)

The latest stunt, refusing to turn them over and having a stand off that involved the police, has caused a lot of people to go from feeling sorry for her to just…well… despising her. I agree that these two little babies don’t deserve any part of this craziness. Britney’s diehard fans say they feel sorry for her because she wanted her babies so badly that she was willing to fight for them. I dunno. I mean, look at her face in the ambulance on the night it happened (the pics are all over the internet). That’s not a loving mom that’s been separated from babies she loves. She’s actually smiling. And the pics taken the next day when she was driving around with her photographer lover, she was smiling and laughing like she was on top of the world.

It seems to me that it’s like there are two Britneys. There’s the one that’s plasetered all over the internet, always doing stupid things and looking like a wild, reckless fool. Then there’s the one that OK! magazine photographer Dani Brubaker photographed a few weeks ago with Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, for the latest issue. During the photo shoot, Brubaker says that the singer was focused on her sons. “She was very loving,” Brubaker recalls. “She told me she loved her children and that they are her life.”

Reportedly, Britney found Brubaker’s photos so powerful that she became emotional. “I’m told that when she saw the photographs she literally cried for over an hour and stared at them all night long,” says Brubaker.

A friend of Britney’s told the magazine that she is “inconsolable.” “Those boys are her everything, and she’s said repeatedly that life isn’t worth living if she can’t have her babies with her,” says the friend, who adds.”"Britney has always said, ‘I would die for my boys if that’s what it took to prove I loved them. I’d do anything for them.”

Like I said, two Britneys. But the problem is, they both love publicity and they both need help. Stat! I want to see Britney make it safely to the other side of this nightmare. I hope she gets the help she needs, gets her act together, and even gets on top of the recording industry. Mostly, I hope that she realizes how lucky she is to have those two beautiful little boys and becomes the mommy they need.

The Ugly

Jessica Sierra was sentenced Monday to a yearlong stint at a California rehabilitation clinic and three years’ probation. Sierra, who is just 22, was arrested last month for disorderly intoxication and resisting officers. She remained jailed Tuesday in Tampa.

Circuit Judge David Perry said he doesn’t “want anybody glamorizing the fact that she’s a drug addict.” He also said he didn’t want the sentence to be another screen test for Sierra.

How’s he going to stop the glamorizing thing - I mean, look at her picture, if that’s not glamorous, what is?

The What Took so Long?

Finally, from the Taylor on top (the Swift) to the Taylor on bottom (the Hick) - Taylor Hicks has apparently been dropped by J Records.

*** Apparently, after the photographer skank sold videos/pics of him and Britney to the tabloids, Britney kicked him to the curb. So, she’s not totally out of her mind - well played, Brit.

From CMT.com:
Jessica Simpson’s country album will be released sometime in 2008 on Columbia Nashville, according to Billboard. She tells the magazine she’s been collaborating with Nashville songwriters, and that because she’s from Texas, she grew up listening to country music and has always wanted to make a country album. In the article, she cites Martina McBride, Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Reba McEntire as inspirations.

Jessica is a ridiculously talented girl. She can act, sing, write, design….. She has one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard - and I love her song writing. She and Ashlee are both really good at writing.

Jessica has been good to movies, but they haven’t been very good to her - as a matter of fact, with the exception of DOH, her movies have been Brutus to her Ceasar. E tu, Blonde Ambition?

Anyway, she’s back in the recording studio and I couldn’t be happier. She’ll be an absolutely perfect fit and I think she’ll set records with her sales.
