Dancing With Kylie Minogue
And then Kylie performed her megahit song Can't Get You Out Of My Head from her album Fever which was released in 2001:
My friend Tony and I were able to attend the taping of DWTS and we got to see Kylie perform these songs live ... I'll have all the deets tomorrow. Enjoy the videos, KM did a really great job with these performances :)

Waist Not, Want Not

Perhaps the cut of the dress is what is causing the severe look but her waist looks painfully cinched in these pictures. Janet has been lookin' really good lately ... I just hope she's not taking things to the extreme. I love a healthy lookin' woman and Janet is usually as healthy as they come. [Source]

Give 'Em Elle, Madonna
In May's issue of ELLE magazine our newest cover star Madonna talks intimately to Louise Gannon about her new album, family life, staying in shape and her love of Cadbury Creme Eggs ... This year Madonna turns 50, yet on the cover of this month's ELLE magazine, out tomorrow, you would hardly believe it. In her latest interview she tells us just how she stays at the top of her game and reveals how she keeps in such incredible shape. "There are no short cuts to being Madonna," she tells us. "It's all about hard work. There is no easy way. If you want to know how I look like I do, it's diet and exercise and constantly being careful." She also swears by oxygen facials and never goes in the sun, drinks rarely and would like to work out for three hours a day, she reveals in a candid interview on the eve of the hotly anticipated release of her 26th album, Hard Candy. It probably comes as no surprise that her routine is regimented and strict and that's how she gets such great results. "I'm not going to slow down, get off this ride, stay home and get fat!" she declares. But isn't it hard to be perfect all the time Madge? "One of the worst things about Britain is that it has such fabulous candy," she says and lets slip that when she's worked particularly hard at something, like the rest of us she rewards herself with a treat. "I love Cadbury Fruit and Nut, Crunchies and Maltesers. But my absolute favourite is a Cadbury Creme Egg. I bite straight in to it and suck all that good stuff right out!"
Brills! Does it really come as a surprise that Madonna would choose to inject a bit about her favorite candy in a coverstory interview to promote her new album entitled Hard Candy? The woman is insanely savvy and calculating ... everything she says is well-thought out component in her master plan for world domination. She is truly a media genius, I just love her. Personally, I prefer her VF cover to this coverphoto but they're both very nice. They do look a bit similar (except for the hat) so I wouldn't be surprised if the photos came from the same photoshoot. Never a wasted moment in Madonna's life. This issue of UK Elle hits newsstands tomorrow. [Source]

The TV Guide: Thai One On
Last night, I met up with Mike G., Adriana, Amy, her husband Scott (and their children), and my Mike for dinner at Rambutan Thai. It was Mike G.'s last full night here in LA (he flies back to Detroit tonight) so I wanted him to partake of the amazingness that is Rambutan. We had a lovely meal and a great convo ... it was a very nice night.
This afternoon, I'm meeting up with Tony so that we can go to the taping of Dancing with the Stars to see Kylie Minogue perform live on the show. I'm so excited ... normally I don't do dress code events (I loathe wearing ties) but this is one event I couldn't pass up. I'm not really counting on getting to meet Kylie but I am hopeful that maybe a chance meeting can happen. In the end, I'm just happy that we get to see her in such an intimate setting. Make sure you tune in tonight to watch DWTS so that you can see Kylie, too!!
I have no plans for the rest of the day ... I want to get some work done and do some cleaning ... really interesting stuff. It's a beautiful day outside, maybe I'll enjoy some of it while I'm out. Have a great April Fool's Day ... I'd be weary of wooden nickels today.

Can You Dig It?

... which isn't really all that horrible if you really think about it. After all, Hollywood "It" Girls can't be glamorous all the time ... I find that boogers are the great equalizer. It's kinda nice knowing that Paris Hilton falls flat on her face, Mariah Carey doesn't change her clothes and L. Lo likes to pick her nose ... why, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Vicki B. even changes her own oil (er, on her person, not in her car). [Source]

A Change Of Pace
The only thing missing from her Parisian outfit was the beret ... but I think the ponytail works in its place. This '60's Brigitte Bardot-look is a good one for Mariah ... I quite like it ... [Source]
... and apparently, Mariah loved it too. Here are pics of Mariah causing a commotion as she arrived at Claridge's hotel in the Mayfair district of London, England late last night/early this morning ... you will note she is still wearing the same outfit:
Now, under normal circumstances, a person who wears the same outfit all day long even while traveling is perfectly OK ... but Mariah Carey changes her clothes more times than pretty much any one else (celebrity or not) I've ever heard of. Could it be that Mimi has finally run out of outfits to wear? Does this mean that she is just a regular person like anyone else? I wonder what this news does for the morale of all her faithful Lambs out there. [Source]

Cloverfield: The Next Generation
Clicking on that box will show a series of symbols that mean nothing to me by the industrious folks who have created Alaygma Clues have a few theories.
Here are a couple of videos that appear to go along with this new viral campaign:
Now, because this buzz started a few weeks ago, I tend to believe it's not an elaborate April Fool's Joke but can we really be so sure? I tend to think that this new viral thing is genuine and will expand and grow over the coming weeks and months. At this point I'm intrigued to see what more comes of this ... but I'm wary that it may get complicated and confusing way too early before a movie may come of it. This is the new media, tho, online games like this are the wave of the present ... I guess it's time to play again. [Source]
UPDATE: The webmaster at Aladygmaclues.com informs me that this Night Shot site may be a fake and believes Aladygma.com is the only genuine site out there right now. Highlighting the Aladygma.com site will reveal small squares that are links to more clues. Game on.

I think it's great that JL is all about doing things for herself but a little help might've been nice. Is this a harbinger of things to come? I'd expect the babydaddy to disappear after the baby arrives but it doesn't strike me as a good omen that he's already not around. [Source, Source]

On The Road Again

... and even tho it's not pink, it also brings back the image of "crazy Britney". If you also consider that she looks a helluva lot like Ryan Cabrera with her new brown wig on ... well, you see how disturbing it all is. [Source]
Thus far, tho, Britney Spears has given us no reason to believe that she has reverted to her reckless ways ... in fact, even more positive changes continue to happen in her life. OK! magazine is confirming the rumors that Britney has rehired her former manager Larry Rudolph to be her manager again:
As Britney Spears continues to strive to get her personal and professional lives back in order, OK! has learned she's turned to a familiar face for help — former manager Larry Rudolph. Though the pair had parted company a year ago, sources confirm exclusively to OK! that the "Toxic" songstress has once again been taken under Larry's wing. Larry and Brit share a long and bumpy history. He was the visionary who discovered the young star Britney and shepherded her career from teen pop tart to international superstar. And when her life began to spiral dangerously out of control in the weeks and months following her Oct. 2006 divorce from Kevin Federline, it was Larry who Britney's parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, turned to for help getting her into rehab ... Brit's dad has always been open about his positive feelings toward Larry, even publicly thanking Larry for his efforts. And now Jamie, who has continued to think the world of Larry both as a manager and as a friend who has Britney's best interests at heart, has finally convinced Britney to let him take over the reins of her recently resurgent career.
This is great news. I honestly believe that Larry really cares for Britney and will do anything to help her succeed ... but not at the risk of her health and well-being. Larry is the perfect manager for our dear Britney and I'm happy to know that they are working together again. The good news just keeps on coming. Now, as long as Brit Brit continues to stay out of trubs (ie. no more hit and runs, Britters) then it should continue to be smooth sailing ... er, driving. [Source]
