Who will buy my misery?

For a while we were concerned that Britney Spears was set to overtake Whitney Houston's title of "trashiest former pop star".

Music Makes Me Say These Things

Simon's voice has a bratty, youthful sound, and her arrangement skips along on jittery beats, carried along by video game synths and a spy movie theme that makes the track come across like a sequel to Britney Spears' "Toxic."

A Meandering Meditation on Columbus Short, 'Studio 60,' and Soup

Oh, actor-dancer-choreographer Columbus Short?a few brief months ago, your name might've been mistaken for must-avoid special feature on the Bicentennial Man DVD. At best, you could've hoped for the immortal tag, Guy Who Slept With Britney Spears But All We Did Was Sleep, Honest . And today? You're the star of the surprise hit Stomp the Yard . And that's not all! You're also party to the slo-mo multi-Prius pileup that is Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip .
In case you haven't been watching (and unless you own a Learjet made of non-conflict diamonds, you haven't been), Short plays Darius (pictured), the only black staff writer on the SNL -ish Studio 60 . Being the only black writer on Studio 60 is almost like being the Only Staff Writer Period, except that's there's also an Only Woman Writer (Lucy Davis) flitting around, plus a Damaged Genius (Mark McKinney) who Yodas to and fro, giving the greenlight to awful-sounding pitches like "The Husky Gymnast." So Darius already has his work cut out for him, one would imagine.
Ah, but there's another wrinkle! Darius is soon butting heads with Simon, the Only Black Castmember of Studio 60 , and the guy who "saved" Darius from a life of dead-end club bookings and laughless stand-up. Now Simon expects payback, in the form of Darius' fealty: Simon wants his pawn's pen on every "black" sketch, which, I guess, means every Simon sketch, since Simon, on stage and backstage, is a character defined almost entirely by his blackness. But Darius doesn't want to be Simon's, er, serf, so he passes the
"black" stuff along to Only Woman Writer (also Lonely Woman Writer,
natch?but that's a rant for another day), who doesn't understand
contemporary African-American vernacular, presumably because of her
womanness, her Britishness, and her poorly-writtenness. And this
prompts Simon to "kick [Darius'] ass nice and slow," in the smug
phrasing of overseer, exec producer and Godlike writer-of-everything
Matt Albie.
Where's all this going? Nowhere good, I'm guessing. Putting Short's
character in a kicked-dog posture, with Simon doing the kicking, might
be a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of H.N.I.C. syndrome .
But something about Albie's complicity in it is just... icky. I sense
Aaron Sorkin sidling up to something he doesn't really understand?which
probably means (and I'm just spitballing here) that he'll cut his
losses in the near future. So don't get too attached to Columbus Short,
whom I keep wanting to call Campbell Scott, who makes me think of soup.
And my own name, which is what it all comes back to, anyway. I'm now
so far up my own blog, there's no hope for return. I'm going out for
soup. Here endeth the free-association.

Things That Make Me Die Inside (Vol. 11)

So Daniel Radcliffe is making his West End stage debut in Equus , and bully for him. There's just the little matter of the show's publicity photos -- the ones that feature the Artist Formerly Known as Harry Potter in a state of alarming disrobement. Bad enough that looking at Radcliffe's nipples, I get flashbacks to Pale Man's eyeballs in Pan's Labyrinth , but then you glance downward and realize that he's either wearing jeans that ride so low they'd make Britney Spears blush, or else, in the words of the great Tracey Ullman, the boy has got "No! Panties! On!" I mean, I can see?er, I don't want to finish this sentence. Let's just say Radcliffe is totally gonna be dubbed "Hairy Potter" by some jokester on his next movie set. It's not like I have a problem with nudity, or even Radcliffe's nudity (theoretically), but I don't think I was ready for this jelly. Not yet. Not without a couple years' notice. I'm not the only one dabbing my eyes with Clorox-dabbed Q-Tips, am I?

Britney's Getting Rid of Her Mansion

Weighing her down as much as the hair on her head was, is Britney Spears' multi-million dollar Beverly Hills mansion because she's now looking to rid herself of that as well. It turns out that her son, Sean Preston, was happier in their Malibu home and may be the reason for Britney's possible relocation back to that abode, according to OK!

Britney Spears in her best pop princess figure

The Pop Celebrity Britney Spears is back in her initial shape in five weeks after giving birth to her second son, Sutton Pierce, with her husband Kevin Federline. Britney Spears was seen recently with her new slim figure while enjoying a shopping spree in Los Angeles, in size 10 jeans, a tight black polo top [...]

Is it time to ban stars from PopWatch?

Few stars have mastered the tricky feat of bowing out gracefully and leaving the audience wanting more. Take Jamie Lee Curtis and Meg Tilly , both of whom have been making the interview rounds this week to promote their books and to assure us that they've given up acting to take up lower-profile careers as authors. Indeed, Tilly hasn't acted for over a decade; I'm betting Curtis' retirement will last about as long as Jay-Z's, but who could blame her if she'd rather not make Christmas with the Kranks II ?
At the other end of the spectrum, we have Kevin Federline, who, despite the lack of any discernible demand for his presence, won't leave. Sure, it may prove satisfying to watch him get coldcocked by George Eads this Thursday on CSI (YouTube has a preview clip that will also double handily as Federline's Emmy highlight reel next fall), but beyond that, he's not much fun, even as a punching bag. His lone talent, of course, consists of being Kevin Federline. That's also his job, and every press mention of him marks a successful day at the office. So here at PopWatch, we're only making the problem worse.
I was indifferent to the gossip columns of Lloyd Grove, who submitted his last ''Lowdown'' item to The New York Daily News yesterday, but I admired his policy of banning mention of boldface names he thought were a waste of ink. (Pariah No. 1 was Paris Hilton; No. 2 was Brad Pitt, who, despite some actual evidence of talent and achievement, apparently struck Grove as a trophy husband and a frivolous, superfluous person.)
So I'm wondering if PopWatch shouldn't embark on a similar policy. Are there some folks who should be banned from further mention on this blog? If so, should a certain husband of Britney Spears be the first person we shun, or is someone else more deserving? Or should we let Sir Popozao and others like him stay in our good graces, in the hope that someday, someday, they'll do something remotely entertaining and worthwhile?
