It's freezing outside, so is the gossip.

What do you do when you've been kicked out of the Playboy house?  You write a book, duh. Holly, Kendra, and Bridget all got together over the weekend to celebrate its launch.  Hmm... Other than the book, Holly is still dating Criss Angel, Kendra is still dating that fooball player, and Bridget is still working on her own show.

It looks like viewership for The Hills is way down!  Maybe the next season will be its last?  Who knows.  I wonder if anyone will be interested in Whitney's upcoming show, The City.  

Melinda Doolittle, the third place finisher of American Idol's 6th season, is finally putting out an album.  I bet it won't do well.  I didn't really watch that season at all, but when I did, I didn't get too excited over Melinda.  I mean, she's a fine singer and all, but she just doesn't have the wow factor.

Have you ever wanted to look like Paula Abdul?  Me neither.  However, if "classy bling" is your thing, then check out the Home Shopping Network when Paula launches her own jewelry line!  

Coming soon!

I'm starting a new venture in 2009...  It's called The Fierce Life and it's an expansion of Fierce Reality.  What do I mean, you ask?  Check it out here and see for yourself!

Don't worry; at this point, I'm still planning on updating Fierce Reality regularly, but it's about time that I branched out and preached on some other topics.

:)  Enjoy!

So there's this show called X Factor in the UK, right?  It's their version of American Idol. Anyhow, some girl named Alexandra Burke won last night, and she got to perform "Listen" from Dreamgirls with Beyonce.  Fierce, right?  I can't imagine someone like Beyonce being on Idol; X Factor just knows how to bring in the stars!  Anyhow, it's a great performance.  Alexandra is good--a little flat on some of her high notes--but good.  Beyonce is fierce.

Speaking of American Idol, it looks like we are in for some changes this season.  There's apparently going to be less focus on the auditions and more on the Hollywood rounds; 36 finalists will be chosen instead of the usual 24.  Also, they're bringing back the wildcard choice, in which each judge gets to pick one finalist who wouldn't have made it otherwise.  I like it.

I can't even bring myself to listen to the rest of Kanye's performance of "Heartless" on SNL the other night...  It's horrible.  Dear Kayne: you're not a singer.  Love, Matt.

NBC is bringing a new dance show to its lineup in early 2009.  It's called Superstars of Dance, and it pits teams from different countries against one another.  Each team is comprised of two solo dancers, one couple, and one larger group.  Interesting. 

Final Thought: Here is all you ever wanted to know about the scheduling of the upcoming season of Idol...

Misc.

How cute is Clay Aiken's boyfriend?  Reed Kelly, Broadway star.  Loves it.  Good for Clay, you know?  I mean, it's about time that he ended up with someone fierce.  I can't help but wish that it were me, though...

Who is the next celebrity to appear on Dancing With The Stars, you ask?  It's none other than Stevie Wonder.  Interesting chocie, I say.  First of all, he's blind; second of all, I could never really imagine him on the show!

Final Thought: How hot is Maks?  A lot of people are bashing his recent red carpet pics, but I can't help but drool just a little bit.
