Update!! The Pop Tart Is Coming Back!

Yep. You read that right. Ex-Pop Princess Britney Spears has just come out with 2 songs from her fifth album. Okay, it's on the internet, and the album will be released on November. Anyway, one of the two songs, Cold As Fire, is definitely not for kids. So parents, you know what to do.

Erm...her "comeback single" is entitled Gimme More, btw.

It has also been reported that Britney's going to have a grand comeback concert. Is anyone going to watch that? Personally, I think all that Britney's good for these days is giving people who are stressed with too much work a good, hearty laugh. While she's planning for that concert, Britney Spears is still in the middle of that custody battle with ex-husband, K-Fed. Extra publicity, huh?

The Asian Audrey Hepburn

Isn't this a lovely picture of Zhang Zi Yi? She really is very, very pretty - truly worth being called "Asia's Audrey Hepburn". Although, I never really imagined that Zhang would become this beautiful. I mean, I was able to watch A Road Home, one of her first movies and I know it's her, but there isn't anything spectacular about her then.

I liked most of the films Zhang Zi Yi starred in, like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and House of Flying Daggers. In 2005, she played the part of Sayuri in the movie adaptation of Memoirs of a Geisha. Personally, I wanted a Japanese actress to play this part, since it is about Japan's culture and all, but she did give justice to the character she portrayed. Zhang's dancing skills really surface in these movies, and I remain in awe whenever I watch her doing martial arts or dance routines.

Zhang Zi Yi also is a good actress. I liked how she acted in her The Banquet (2006) movie. She evolves with every movie that she makes (where she's one of the leads, of course). If she's the one who chooses the roles she plays, then I must commend her for having good tastes and for knowing which roles suit her the best.

She keeps silent when it comes to her private life, and not much is known. Although recently, it has been said that she's dating an Israeli multi-millionaire named Vivi Nevo. At least, she also knows the best options that she can choose when it comes to her life. Zhang Zi Yi, really is a rare gem that in my opinion, will be more treasured as time passes.

When Teens Go Bad

I think everyone has heard of Lindsay Lohan at one point or another. She probably started being known all over the world when she played the lead role for Disney's Parent Trap remake in 1998. She has also played lead roles in movies like Freaky Friday (2003), Mean Girls (2004) and Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005). Recently, Lindsay's movies are all but successful.

Lindsay Lohan is probably one of the most talked-about celebrities today...negatively, that is. Her day-to-day fiascoes has been garnering too much media attention that it's becoming ever so tiresome already. It's either Lindsay's really screwing up her life for a reason that none of us can fathom or she just loves the attention. If it's the latter, then she just has to do what she does and she'll have all the attention she wants. Heck, she's in the line of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears when it comes to being wasted with alcohol and drugs, being a whore, being caught on camera with all those slips (you know what I mean), going to rehab and being arrested multiple times.

I guess having parents like hers contribute to how she is right now, so if that's the case, we can't really blame Lindsay. I'm thinking that it sucks to have a frustrated actress for a mom and a fraud securities dealer for a dad. Is it safe to say that they're probably using Lindsay as a milking cow? I think she's the only one who's making a living in her family since her siblings are all younger than her. Of course, these are all my speculations.

There also has been reports that Lindsay Lohan is dangerous when she's drunk and sniffing coke. Too many reports from different people who seem to be close to her, like her former bodyguards and assistants, have been popping up everywhere. Isn't Lindsay a bit concerned about herself? More importantly, doesn't she respect herself at the very least? Well apparently, it seems she doesn't.

I wish Lindsay would clean up for good. She used to be so cute with that freckled face and red hair. To commemorate the old Lindsay Lohan, I give you, dear readers, a picture...

At a Loss for Kate Moss

I don't think there's that much to say about Kate Moss. Sure, she revolutionized the modeling industry when she started, making the "anorexic-look" something that most women would want. She had a lot of offers and contracts for different international fashion lines, she had a relationship with Johnny Depp (sigh...) and she was asked to do music videos with artists like Elton John and The White Stripes.

So, where is Kate Moss now? The glitz and glamor of the fashion world probably pressured the poor girl into drinking booze and getting high. Either that or her relationship with Pete Doherty really made her fall apart because he probably introduced drugs to her. I think that the ever-overdosed Doherty is Kate Moss' downfall. Well, I think a lot of people think that too. Surprise, surprise.

After that fiasco in one British magazine where Kate was featured on the cover doing drugs, she lost almost all her contracts. It's a good thing this girl makes friends with credible people who are willing to defend her. Uhhh speaking of friends, I think Kate Moss should choose friends who are clean, because she created more bad news for herself when people found out that she was friends with Lindsay Lohan. Speculations that Kate was the one giving Lindsay drugs arose too...

I really don't understand what it is with models/actresses and drugs. They should just give the money that they spend for drugs and drug paraphernalia to charity. Or give them to me instead.

The Simple Mind

Well...I can't deny the fact that I think Paris Hilton is pretty. She isn't anywhere near "average American looks" if you ask me. She's tall, slender, she carries herself with confidence and she has loads of money to boot. I'm sure everyone knows who Paris Hilton is. First of all, she's almost always in any entertainment and gossip-related news. (Her recent stint - being jailed for driving with a suspended license - even made it to the more serious news media.)

Second, Paris is an heiress to the Hilton Hotels franchise. I'm not really sure if she'd be given the task of actually managing the hotels in the future or being an "heiress" only holds true up to the title itself. Third, I think she has more scandals than any other actress/model/heiress combined. Erm... I'll think of other things some other day.

Also, contrary to popular belief, I don't think Paris Hilton is as intelligent as a rock. I actually think she's brilliant, all sarcasm aside, please. Why, you ask? It's because she knows how to promote and create enough publicity to sell her image to the public. Whenever Paris creates a scene and it blows up to uncontrollable proportions, she launches a product right after it while she's still a "hot item".

Imagine, her book sold a lot of copies, if I recall correctly. I checked the book out and it's third-biography, third-publicity and third-photo book. I mean, there isn't that much content in there at all...but it sells. Then she also launched her own brand of perfume, watches, clothes, footwear and, believe it or not, hair extensions. Aside from that, she lent her name to a nightclub chain called Club Paris.

Paris Hilton also starred in a reality TV show with her then best friend, Nicole Ritchie. I say "then" because Paris has been known to change best friends faster than night turns to day. Oh, I digress. The TV show was given the title "The Simple Life" and it follows the adventures of the two rich kids as they learn how to actually do what most people do: work for a living without the glitz and glamor of showbiz. I enjoyed watching it, really. Ahh I forgot to mention that a week before The Simple Life was aired, Paris' notorious sex video leaked out from the dark recesses of her private life, thoughts and memories.

That sex video won awards, btw.

From Wendy to Hottie

Hilary Duff has definitely become prettier and sexier these days. I like the way she looks, how she dresses, how she acts in public, well...she's so much better than her contemporaries. Hilary created a cleaner image than other actress/singers maybe because she saw how it could affect one's career if her life and actions got out of hand.

If you have no idea who Hilary Duff is... Where have you been hiding?? Duff was Wendy in Casper and Wendy. She also played Lizzie (the lead character) in Disney's Lizzie McGuire. Ask kids around you and you'll know who "Lizzie" is. She also starred in several movies like Cheaper by the Dozen (with Steve Martin), A Cinderella Story (with Chad Michael Murray), and The Perfect Man (with Heather Locklear).

These days, Hilary is busy with her singing career. With songs like Why Not?, So Yesterday and Dignity, Hilary has already released several albums yet, she lip-syncs during live shows. Don't ask me why because your guess is as good as mine, but it could probably be the fact that she can't really sing. Oh well.. Anyone can do that these days: release an album even if you can't sing and you make millions if you have a pretty face.

I think she'll make it big. Especially now that things are over between her and that Good Charlotte member crap. Then she has to tell her sister to give her space because she's been tagging along Hilary ever since Hilary started doing more movies. Well, let's face it. Her sister, Haylie, wants to be a star too but as luck would have it, she just doesn't compare to Hilary in looks and in everything.

I just hope that she doesn't lose track of her goals and end up being an alcoholic substance abuser. Oh and she should try singing for real. Even for just one mini-concert...but that would make her career go down the drain, wouldn't it?

Rotten pop tart!

If you have no idea who this woman is, her name's Britney Spears. She used to be famous for her bubblegum pop songs like "...Baby One More Time", "Lucky" and "Toxic". She had a lot of teenage girls for fans and they all wanted to be like her - young, refreshing, rich...she was all those, plus she had a cute (?) boyfriend: Justin Timberlake.

I think Britney started to go downhill after she broke up with Timberlake. It's like she craved for more attention, but maybe, since there aren't any news-worthy events in her life, she decided to create some. Britney Spears got married and the marriage lasted for 55 hours before she filed for divorce. Then she met, and married, Kevin Federline whom she had two (cute and adorable) kids with: Sean Preston and Jayden James. She divorced Federline a few months after her second child was born and Britney's been living the life of a single mom since then.

How do single moms behave anyway? If it includes shaving your head bald, drinking until you drop, going out without any underwear on as well as flashing them (when you are wearing them) at every chance you get, making out with anyone regardless of gender, getting rehabilitated for drug abuse, and calling your kids "mistakes" among others, REALITY CHECK PLEASE! Anyone in their right mind would think that these actions are terribly irresponsible and downright atrocious. If that's the case, then Britney Spears isn't in her right mind.

She really messed up. Sure, almost everyone knows her and she's in the showbiz news almost everyday but is this the kind of publicity Britney Spears wanted? Her life was going pretty well and she was famous for her *ehem* talent..well.. I think she can dance (although I personally think Christina Aguilera sings better). All these fiasco that she created caused her to have a falling-out with her family and maybe her sons will end up hating her too. Poor kids.

Oh well. Just be thankful that majority of us aren't like her. In the meantime, let's sit back and enjoy the antics of Britney Spears.
