Julia Naidenko and Sue Son Fail to Make the Cut in Britain's Got Talent May 24

Latvian sexy dancer Julia Naidenko and South Korean violinist Sue Son failed to make it in the finals of Britain's Got Talent (BGT) during the semi-finals round last May 24 (5/43/09). Julia, who sashayed in the stage with "Lady Marmalade", got ditched by judge Amanda Holden predicting that the Queen will "be very upset" upon seeing her sexy dancing because Prince Phillip and the boys will be distracted by her as she is "far too sexy". Sue, on the other hand, got raves with her performance as Holden thought that: "You are a vixen with a violin, you have really grown."

Susan Boyle 2nd Performance "Memory" - Britain's Got Talent Semi-Finals Show May 24

After making it to the 40 semifinalists in Britain's Got Talent (BGT), Susan Boyle was one of the first eight people who performed on BGT on May 24 (5/24/09). Although the 48 year old church singer from Blackburn sounded a bit nervous, Susan Boyle dished out an emotionally-charged 2nd performance of "Memory", a song from another Broadway musical Cats. See Susan Boyle's May 24 performance on Britain's Got Talent after the jump.

Susan Boyle 2nd Performance BGT Memory
Although there are mixed reviews about Susan's rendition of "Memory", BGT voting polls suggest that the Internet sensation got the most number of votes among the 8 contestants who performed last night. Upon knowing the BGT voter turnout, Susan Boyle enthused that she felt "fantastic, absolutely fantastic". According to her, she was not pressured at all and have really enjoyed herself tonight. Because of her BGT performance last night, Susan will again advance in the contest finals next Saturday May 30. The BGT contestants are vying to have a slot in Britain's annual Royal Variety Show — attended by members of the royal family — and win a £100,000 ($159,000) prize.

Marco Andretti and Mario Moraes Bows Out of Indy 500

The 2009 Indianapolis 500 (2009 Indy 500) appeared to be tough for the 22 year old Marco Andretti, son of the 1991 IndyCar World Series champ Michael Andretti, as he retired early in the race in the much-ballyhooed auto event of the year. The younger Andretti made contact with the Marco Moraes in the Turn One on the First Lap in the Indy 500 that swerved Marco's car into a wall that resulted to both of them to bow out of competition.
Marco Andretti and Mario Moraes Indy 500 2009
Marco Andretti blamed the 20 year old Brazilian about their fate by saying that "The kid just doesn't get it and he never will. You would think that somebody would know that somebody is sitting right outside of you". Moraes, on the other hand, was teary-eyed upon seeing the smash aftermath on his KV Racing Dallara. Moraes thought that it was Andretti who hit him: "I was holding my line, I was in front and he hit me. I don't know how and where yet." Right now, the 2009 Indy 500 race is being controlled by 2007 Indy Series Champ Dario Franchitti. Watch the actual Marco Andretti and Mario Moraes Indy 500 2009 video below:

LeBron James Basket Wins the Game



If you don't get the chills from this LeBron James video, even if you don't like basketball, you're cold, baby, cold. 

LeBron James nails a three-pointer to win the game with only 1 second left in the game and his team is losing 95 to 93 to the Orlando Magic. I mean, come on, LeBron James deserves mad props for this. 

Robert Pattinson and Erika Dutra Had Sex


Robert Pattinson is living it up in Cannes and he and a woman named Erika Dutra were busy "canoodling" at one of the parties. Of course, this has all of his teen fans in an uproar. 

Erika Dutra is just your everyday pedestrian Los Angeles resident and is not famous to any extent, but she is now that Robert Pattinson was snapped with his arm around her. 

You know that Erika Dutra will be getting death threats from tween fans around the world. And yes, Robert Pattinson and Erika Dutra left the party together. They probably went to have coffee and nothing more. Just kidding, they had hot, nasty sex for sure. 

Kara DioGuardi Bikini Body




Is it just me or is Kara DioGuardi rocking a really great body under those clothes? On the Wednesday finale of American Idol, Kara DioGuardi not only proved she could sing, she also showed Bikini Girl Katrina Darrell that her body isn't the only body worthy of a bikini. 

Kara DioGuardi ripped off her dress to show off her abs after she finished singing the song, and you could tell that Katrina Darrell had no idea it was going to happen. According to her they "turned my mic off, so obviously they wanted to hear her sing..."

When asked if she was surprised, Katrina Darrell answered, "When she flashed? The white body? Yeah, she needs a spray tan."


Yes, and now, Katrina Darrell needs a new gimmick. Ba-bye.

Erika Dutra is Robert Pattinson's Cannes Date

Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson seems to be enjoying himself at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival with a hot blonde named Erika Dutra from Los Angeles. While Kristen Stewart, Rob's screen partner and rumored "girlfriend", is filming some scenes miles away, Life & Style the Robert Pattinson and Erika Dutra "were spotted canoodling at the post-party for amfAR Cinema Against AIDS in Cannes".
Erika Dutra and Robert Pattinson in Cannes
Eyewitness account suggest that Erika Dutra was introduced to Rob by mutual friend and the Twilight star began to "take pictures of her all night". And every female R-Patz fan should gasp to know that they were even "kissing". Eyewitness says that "There was serious chemistry between them, and they looked like they were having an amazing time" and " "Erika and Robert even left the party together!". Erika should gird her loins now as jealous fans will surely dig something bad about her pretty soon.

American Idol Finale Predictions - Who Will Win American Idol Season 8?

In the past week, we had a clear American Idol 8 winner. Yet, after the May 19 finale performance, the mood had change - Kris Allen might just have the shot at being the 8th American Idol! Adam Lambert did not do bad yesterday, but the sheer improvements are more magnified in Kris Allen. American Idol 2009 predictions say that Kris and Adam have a slim margin in terms of votes!

Dial Idol Predictions tell us that Kris edged out Adam by 1.1% of all the votes.
Dial Idol Predictions May 20 5-20-2009
Although Dial Idol is not the most accurate prediction instrument, I think their results are credible enough because we've seen how Adam and Kris performed last night. I want Adam Lambert to win, but right now I'm not too sure about that. Kris might just be the American Idol Winner for 2009!

Adam Lambert, Kris Allen "No Boundaries" - American Idol Finale Round 3

The American Idol Season 8 Winner's Song is co-written by Kara DioGuardi, Cathy Dennis and Mitch Allen. The song wasn't as good as the past winner's songs. For me, it lacks the impact of the other songs like "A Moment Like This" or "I Believe".
American Idol 8 Winner's Song No Boundaries
Adam Lambert "No Boundaries" Judges' comments:
Randy: I love it.. a little pitchy in some spots!
Kara: I speak in behalf my co-writers.. I'm moved and I'm proud
Paula: I'm very proud.. what you brought was remarkable. I will be a fan forever
Simon: I'm not gonna judge the song.. I'm gonna judge you. You're the best most original contestant!



Kris Allen "No Boundaries" Judges' Comments:
Randy: You're an amazing competitor. That song fit your voice.
Kara: I congratulate you.. I hope people vote for this season.
Paula: You did an amazing job to end up where you are.
Simon: You came in.. first audition - no confidence. You have thoroughly deserved where you are!

OMG! I think the Winner's Song fit Kris Allen's voice more than Adam's. Will Adam be robbed of his American Idol seat tomorrow?

Chace Crawford Confirmed to Lead Footloose Remake

After Zac Efron's backing out drama and numerous speculations, the Footloose remake is now spelling out the name of Chace Crawford to reprise the lead role of Ren (previously played by Kevin Bacon). This news was confirmed directly by the producer Paramount Pictures to Perezhilton.com.
Chace Crawford in Footloose Remake
Now that we know who the leading man is, the leading lady will surely be another thing we would want to know. Four young female stars are said to be on the list that is led by Miley Cyrus, Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Byrnes and Julianne Hough. Tween fans might be leaning towards the Miley Cyrus option, but I think Hayden Panettiere should be given consideration too. This Footloose remake is to be megged by Kenny Ortega, the same man who directed High School Musical movies.

Hayden Kho Scandal Festival - Hayden Kho is a DOG!

I've seen three Hayden Kho videos with three different women. No, the video does not just involve dancing like the Katrina Halili videos that emerged weeks ago. This time it is real stuff! The 3 long clips of Hayden Kho surreptitiously taking videos of Katrina Halili, Maricar Reyes and undetermined Brazilian model in their bed scenes. Hayden seems like a disturbed man because he is obviously taking these without the women's knowledge, where the camera is hidden in the closet.
Katrina Halili and Maricar Reyes
If you don't know Maricar, she's been seen in Pond's commercial and played one of Armando Solis' ex-gf in ABS-CBN's I Love Betty La Fea. I am just posting here some cam caps of the said Maricar Reyes video because it's the only thing clearer among the 3 videos I found in a site:

I sure hope these videos will be the last ones. I think everyone would not want to see Hayden Kho-Vicky Belo scandals. Ugh, that's the scariest thought!
