More Photos from 2011 Cheryl Cole Calendar

I gather that photos from Cheryl Cole’s 2011 calendar were leaking like tracks from a Lil Wayne album, earlier this month. The calendar’s cover and a few grainy stills were released as were one or two preview images from the full set.

Now, there are some further images that show most of the 2011 release, from which you’re probably not going to get Malaria-cooties (though, having said that, I do feel Malaria-ish, after looking at these). More, at your own risk, below…

Taylor Momsen Clears Up Rihanna Misquote

Taylor Momsen didn’t mean to insult Rihanna, when talking about how the pop charts in general were going down the pooper. Momsen’s quotes in Spin magazine made headlines, last week, when she was quoted as saying that she wanted to bring back real rock and was sick of the pretenders clogging up the pop charts. At the wise old age of 17, she seemed to think she was the person to resurrect the genre… even though she lacks the mental faculty to put on pants and tuck in her tampon string when only wearing her underwear on stage.

Momsen tells T4, “That quote was spun, it’s a misquote. I was arguing the difference between rock versus pop and it’s a very pop-oriented world at the moment. There is no rock and the people who dress or have guitars in their music, [for] audiences, that’s the closest thing they have to rock right now. We’re looking to bring back a real rock band and Rihanna… I wasn’t insulting Rihanna. Rihanna’s great.” [Contact Music]

Erykah Badu Probation for Public Nudity Video


Erykah Badu gets only probation for public nudity in Window Seat music video.

Everyone who has a remote grasp of how celebrity justice works will have seen this coming a mile off. It is being reported today that singer Erykah Badu has received only probation, regarding public nudity during the filming of her Window Seat music video five months ago. The singer, 39, has paid a $500 fine and will serve six months of probation for stripping during the music video shoot in Dallas. This basically means, she paid with the change down the back of her sofa and she can’t expose her vajay to the general public again for half-a-year.

In March, Badu performed a walking striptease for her Window Seat music video at Dealey Plaza, where President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot in 1963. The video ends with a nude Badu falling to the ground as if she has been shot. Police in April cited her for disorderly conduct after a witness made a sworn complaint. A number of children were among the tourists and other random passers-by seen in the video. [Pop Eater]

A Studio Isn’t Starbucks. Maybe She Was Lost?

Britney Spears sent out a tweet full of lies, today… LIES. She told her alarming number of fans that she had spent the day in the recording studio, which some are hoping is for her upcoming Glee episode or her forthcoming album. I wouldn’t get too excited, as she probably wasn’t in the studio for long. As soon as she realised the mood lighting and comfy chair were costing her $$$ p/h, and didn’t include refills, she probably left and went to get her elixir of life elsewhere.

M.I.A. Reveals Official Music Video for XXXO


M.I.A.’s XXXO music video official premiere on YouTube.com and VEVO.com.

M.I.A. has released the pretty tame music video for XXXO. By tame, I don’t mean really tame by any particular stretch. I just mean no children were executed with a point blank gunshot to the head, like in her Born Free music video. I did like that video, though it took weeks before I watched it… and even then I only did so on the recommendation of a friend. This video is 100% less gruesome and 100% more glittery. In fact, I’m pretty sure that in between the stunning visuals, I actually saw one of my escaped glittery unicorns prancing around the screen.

Teen Choice Awards 2010 Full List of Winners

Below, in addition to the coverage which showed the red carpet arrivals and press room trophy photos of the celebrities at the Teen Choice Awards 2010 (including Megan’s Fox’s terrifying and waxen face), is the ridiculously long and convoluted list of winners. They pretty much have a Best Split Ends, and Best You’ve Got Some Broccoli In Your Teeth categories. This mess of a ceremony is ridiculous.
