Just when I was searching for the latest “juicy” news on the Net, I stumbled on one about some celebrities who were paid to show up during the opening of a hotel in Turkey and was paid about $1.5 million just to give the hotel the posh image it deserves. The guests were said to have been Sharon Stone, Richard Geere, Paris Hilton, Tom Jones and Carey Lowell. Sadly the event turned into an embarrassing episode for some of them. Sharon Stone who emceed the event began mispronouncing the word “Azerbaijan” before shrieking to the crowd and yelling “Chaka Khan! Chaka Khan!” How weird is that?”

Now, to be honest I didn’t really know how to enunciate “Azerbaijan” and what this word means but it did sound familiar. I checked answers.com to know how this word is pronounced and to know its meaning and here is what I found out…

“A country of Transcaucasia north of Iran on the Caspian Sea. It constitutes the northern part of the historical region of Azerbaijan, which was ceded to Russia by Persia in 1813 and 1828. It was a constituent republic of the USSR, known as the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, from 1936 to 1991. Baku is the capital. Population: 8,120,000.” (source: www.answers.com)

This is good to know for now. Too bad Sharon Stone has to freak out just because she doesn’t know how to pronounce the word. I mean, nobody really expects her to be perfect right? But that goes to show how ludicrous celebrities can be…perhaps not all but a good number of them are. I feel sorry for the owner of the Hotel who paid for their appearance when they’re not even worth it. I guess this would serve as a lesson learned.

American Idol finalists, Adam Lambert & Kris Allen

Latest talk on American idol winner, Kris Allen, was that his winning the title was intentional. According to New York Times, evidence showed AT&T as the reason behind Kris Allen’s victory. The night of the American Idol Finals, the mobile company was said to have provided phones to his fans to cast huge votes. These mobile phones have ‘power text’ features which could send a great deal of 10 text messages or more at one time. During the event, the AT&T representatives allegedly provided free service at two parties in Arkansas.

After this news went out about AT&Ts involvement, Fox Broadcasting issued a statement insisting that there were no discrepancies involved with the result during the American Idol finals and that it was accurate, fair and verified. They further claimed that Kris Allen was indeed the winner.

I don’t think that Fox would have admitted to any descrepancies with their voting system since this would only cast doubts to American Idol fans and since Kris Allen’s winning had already been rolled out to the public then it would have been difficult to retract his title.

Susan Boyle's shocking outburst during the Britain's Got Talent Semi-Finals

Yesterday night, Susan Boyle, the Britain’s Got Talent singing sensation reportedly swore at a journalist in front of guests in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel. A police who was stationed at the hotel that night had to intervene since Susan Boyle’s outburst was creating attention to other guests. It was reported that she yelled and I quote “How f**king dare you! You can’t f**king talk to me like that.” Boyle’s spokeswoman insisted that the incident wasn’t Susan’s fault and that the reporter provoked her. Later that night, Boyle was seen crying outside the hotel.

Lately, Susan has received several criticisms because of her not-so great performance during the Semi Finals for the Britain’s Got Talent show. Popular English pop singer, Lily Allen, posted on her Twitter account that Susan Boyle was overrated while Louis Walsh, the X Factor Judge and Westlife manager said she wasn’t a great singer. However, Piers Morgan, the Britain’s Got Talent judge who Susan admitted she’s got a crush on, was quick to defend her. He reportedly said during an interview that Boyle had been crying this week since she’s been struggling with her sudden fame. In an interview with radio station LBC 97.3, he also said Boyle was and I quote “an incredibly sweet, nice, gentle person who has been propelled through this show.”

Other rumour circulating was that Boyle also got into a jealous foul-mouthed tantrum during the Britain’s Got Talent semi-final night. It was reported that she got annoyed after Piers Morgan praised one of her counterparts, the young, Shaheen Jafargholi. After Morgan told Jafargholi that his performance was ‘the best singing performance we have heard in the semi-finals so far”, Boyle reportedly made a two-fingered gesture at the TV and even shouted profanity. About 150 guests were said to have witnessed her shocking outburst which stunned most of them a great deal.

One of the hottest pair in Hollywood, Shia LaBeouf, Transformers 2 star admitted that he and the gorgeous Megan Fox have that ‘spark’ between them. Though, having dated Rihanna in the past, Shia confessed that they weren’t really passionate with each other and that the ‘spark’ never existed. Just recently Megan Fox admitted to having enjoyed her on-screen romance with Shia and even thinks he is the ‘best kisser’ in the world. Megan Fox is currently dating Brian Austin Green but this didn’t stop her from praising Shia. Does this mean there’s a possible romance between Megan and Shia considering the fact that she showed up on the premiere showing of Shia LaBeouf’s movie Eagle Eye?

Just can’t wait to watch Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen soon!

Summit just recently released last May 19 the first official teaser poster for the upcoming New Moon Movie. Can you tell which one it is? And which poster is fan made?

Well, I don’t know about you but I thought the first one was the official teaser poster for New Moon but apparently I was wrong. The second poster I showed on this blog is the official teaser poster for New Moon. I thought that the first one was more appealing compared to the actual teaser poster. The first poster exuded the whole New Moon mood unlike the second poster. Not to mention the fact that Edward Cullen who is played by Robert Pattinson, looks really gorgeous on this poster! I’m counting the days and pretty much excited when New Moon would be shown here in our theaters!

Now I’m up interested in taking up cosmetology. It’s an interesting subject to look into.
