UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s newest apology here.

How is it possible that a 19-year-old girl has more maturity than a 32-year-old man?

Even though she would have been forgiven for any choice words she could use have used, Taylor Swift decided not to go there last night. When questioned by reporters about Kanye West’s rude behavior at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the country singer simply opted to take the high road.

“I was standing onstage and I was really excited because I had just won an award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage,” Swift told E! News. “And then, um, I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies

Jessica BielYou may have put yourself at risk just by reading this article.

According to McAfee Inc., is currently the most dangerous celebrity to search for online. Why? Is it because her content is NSFW? No - but it might not be safe for your laptop. The technology security company claims one out of every five searches for the actress’ names leads to a site designed to damage one’s computer.

This is the third year in a row the company has released results based on A-listers. In 2008, Inglourious Basterds star was the recipient of this dubious title.

Those names following directly behind Biel on this year’s list are Beyonce, , Tom Brady and Jessica Simpson.

Beyonce at 2009 BET AwardsBeyonce at 2009 BET Awards

If there is anyone who could have overshadowed Janet Jackson’s BET Awards appearance last night, it was Beyonce.

I believe it was Coco Chanel who said that when it came to accessorizing, you should always take off the last thing you put on. Unfortunately, this musical diva went a bit too far. What was already a loud dress was made even more garish when she paired it with large turquoise-colored hoops and beaded heels.

Now we know why Jay-Z’s always wearing sunglasses…

Joe Jonas Attempts the ‘Single Ladies’ Dance

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Videos


Uh, let’s be clear— shouldn’t be making plans to leave his boy band anytime soon.

To promote their upcoming album (Lines, Vines and Trying Times comes out on June 16), the Jonas Brothers have begun moonlighting as wish makers. This clip above has been dubbed by the trio as “long-awaited and long-requested.” Really?

My two thoughts on this? A) Justin Timberlake already channeled Beyonce last year…and he did it better. B) Is Joe the only person on Earth who doesn’t know the lyrics to “Single Ladies”?

Cash

Parade magazine will soon release a “What People Earn” issue which details the income earned by Hollywood’s elite for the fiscal year of 2008, a year which was extremely rough on the finances of many average Americans.

The issue reports that Jennifer Aniston earned a hefty $27 million, which trumps the paltry $2.25 mill raked in during 2008. Taylor Swift out-earned Brit with $5.5 million, which still pales when compared to Beyonce’s stunning $80 million in earnings.

So who’s the biggest star of them all, the top earner for the year 2008? Is it , Will Smith, Donald Trump? The winner, earning the most in the last calendar year, is Mattel with a whopping $3.3 billion. Barbie - still hot after all these years. Now, that’s star power.

According to the issue, celebrity salaries trump the average American’s yearly earnings by an extreme amount: the stars earn around 115 times more money than you do. Too bad about the recession - Barbie might’ve made it up to 4 billion on the year.

Beyonce Knowles

For the November issue of Essence magazine, singer Beyonce Knowles finally opens up about her April wedding to Jay-Z.

In the interview, Knowles explains why she was against a big traditional wedding (“It’s been my day so many days already”) and why she didn’t want an engagement ring:

“People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material and it’s just silly to me.”

Sometimes pictures - or massive pieces of jewelry - really do speak louder than words.

Even though Beyonce and Jay-Z have not yet acknowledged their April nuptials, the Dreamgirls star has slowly been confirming the news her own way.

In the past few weeks, the singer has occasionally been seen with a very large rock on her ring finger. The flawless 18 carat gem - designed by Lorraine Schwartz - is valued at a whopping $5 million.

I guess someone won’t be needing to worry about the financial crisis anytime soon.

Jay-Z, BeyonceAlthough no official announcement has been released, all signs indicate that Knowles, 26, and rapper Jay-Z, 38, are now indeed married.

After the two were spotted securing a marriage license earlier this week, it was just simply a matter of when.  The couple’s decision to wed on Friday night (4/4) may have been a matter of the date’s significance.  She was born on September 4th; he on December 4th.

According to online reports, the musicians apparently had a small private ceremony earlier in the evening before a much bigger bash that night.  (Tents erected on the roof of Shawn Carter’s Tribeca apartment building indicated something was going to happen.)  Several celebrities - including the girls from Destiny’s Child and - were also seen in the area.

Well, until they come out and fully admit the news - I’m going to go ahead and congratulate them anyway.  Cheers!
