day 15

new music tuesday

tuesdays are big days in the entertainment industry - it's when singles drop, albums release, and movies hit the shelves as dvds.  here are some of today's big releases:

1. akon, freedom

featuring the radio hit "right now (na na na)," akon's newest release is sure to be as successful as his past efforts.  the album features the rhythmic club jams akon is known for, and a list of singing partners that looks like a hip-hop grammy ballot - lil wayne, young jeezy,and t pain al

l make the list.  

2. taylor swift, the holiday collection

sold exclusively at target stores last holiday season, swift's six song christmas cd is sure to please.  it's filled with classics - "white christmas" and "silent night," to name a few - a new favorites - like "last christmas" and "christmases when you were mine." and, at only $6, it's hard to pass up.  

3. britney spears, circus

spears long awaited new album also hit stores today.  if you haven't already taken a listen, i suggest you do.  all the tracks are radio friendly and dancy, with the exception of a couple ballads.  and make sure to look out for "if u seek amy." this track has a secret message in the chorus and, inadvertently, in the title.  see if you can catch it.  the title track, which is the next single, is one of the standouts.  click here to see bspears performance of "circus" on good mo

rning america today. of course, she lip synched, but spears looks like she's perfected the arm flailing movements she tried out overseas with the "womanizer" tour. look out for britney in a town near you, too, starting in march as she heads out on a us arena tour.  

put your blue steel on

ben stiller has confirmed that a sequel to the 2001 cult hit zoolander is in the works.  this would mark stiller's one millionth (okay, i'm exaggerating) sequel to one of his box office hits. scripts are apparently in the works, with multiple versions being created.  stiller wants to make the movie just as comedic and "worthy" of its predecessor.  the film would most likely hit theaters sometime in 2010.  are you ready for more zoolander? has it been too long? almost a decade will have past between the two films...is stiller too old to play the male  model? maybe his age will play a part in the project.  a meet the parents threequel is also possible.  the last i heard, the film would be meet the little fockers, focusing on ben stiller and teri polo's characters' burgeoning family.  

life's the pits

what singer showed up to the her latest movie's premiere and forgot to shave? it was beyonce knowles.  beyonce came to the cadillac record's premiere with a little more hair than just her weave.  maybe this is why no pictures were shown in lady b's signature armpits up pose? hmm...wouldn't you think you would shave before a big event like this? this is just like julia roberts at the notting hill premiere.  hello, people! if you don't want to shave, don't weat sleeveless things or raise/expose your armpits!
