Madonna Nude Picture Up for Sale

Friday, January 23rd, 2009


Before Madonna became the Queen of Pop, she was a struggling dancer in New York City. To make ends meet, she agreed to pose for a full frontal nude photo for $25 back in 1979. The photographer who took that rare snap is poised to make a huge profit off of it as the picture is up for auction at the New York branch of Christie’s on February 12th. It’s expected to go for at least $10,000. I wonder if Madonna will be bidding on this auction herself. Oh well, at this stage of her career, I doubt anything like this could do her any harm.

New AI judge clash with contestant

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi gave the show more flavor and spice when she clashed with a bikini-clad contestant over the latter’s interpretation of Mariah Carrey’s song “Vision of Love”. DioGuardi told 20-year old American Idol contestant Katrina Darrell that her version of the song lacked swing and proceeded to demonstrate how to sing it properly. The conflict became more heated after Paula Abdul heard Darrell say that DioGuardi’s demonstration was no better either. Darrell wore a skimpy bikini to the audition primarily to catch attention and she did more than that. The two male judges Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell gave Darrell a “yes” vote but the two girls were still at it and had Darrell sing the song again with the required swing. Ryan Seacrest said bikini girl had a better body than a better face. Darrell was however given the go signal to go through after a few minutes. DioGuardi said wearing her bikini was probably a good call for Darrell since she indeed got everyone’s attention. She said it is important to have contestants who are pretty and cute because it is after a visual medium. Aside from being a pretty girl, she added, the contestants should also have an incredible voice and great stage presence.

Sharon Stone lose on American history

Friday, January 23rd, 2009


Hollywood actress Sharon Stone famous for her roles in the ‘Basic Instinct’ trilogy is pathetic when it comes to knowing about American history. While speaking at a function to honor Barack Obama, the new U.S. President held in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday the actress the Liberty Bell, was “brought back to America.”

Stone said, “We’re gonna ring that liberty bell that we brought with us here to America. We’re gonna make the American Dream into an American reality.” But actually the bell was shipped to Philadelphia in the 1750s.

Oh we can forgive Sharon for such a mistake if she is willing to admit that a lousy underwear she was wearing that time was the culprit or else if that is not the case then I cannot believe that she did not arrive prepared enough to know what to say during her speech.

If she knew she had such an engagement which she was aware cos’ she was there then she should have asked someone to listen out to her speech and checked on its parts. Big failure!
