It has been more than a decade since Yolanda Saldivar murdered Selena Quintanilla Perez. At the time, Selena was the undisputed queen of Tejano music. Her death, at age 23, was both unexpected and tragic. She was killed by Saldivar, her fan club president.
After Selena’s death, her English language crossover album, “Dreaming of You,†went on to sell 300,000 copies in its first week.
It was recently learned that her family is releasing, with Mexican variety show host Johnny Canales, a DVD of Selena’s performances on the “The Johnny Canales Show.â€

Surely you have heard about this by now. But in case you missed it, Saturday was the season premiere of SNL. It was hosted my Michael Phelps. But that is not the big news story here. Tina Fey was also on SNL. She was playing Sarah Palin in a sketch. And she looked so much like her it was scary!
If you missed the clip, it is on the NBC site now. So check out Fey does Palin.

In case you missed it, Britney was back on the VMA’s last night. It was rumored for a while that she would be. Then her people insisted she would not be. And then it was confirmed that she would be there. Only she would not be performing. Apparently, her spot was opening it again. And it was a blink and you miss it type of performance.

I hate it when women bash one another. And then it is worse when it is celebs that do it in public. The latest instance of this? Roseanne Barr is the culprit. And Angelina Jolie was her target.
So, are you wondering what she said? Well, here it is.
“Jon Voight, your evil spawn Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about $40 million a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away ($3 million) of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity, as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the Earth even more.
Why, Roseanne, why?

I went to the movies last weekend. I went to see The Dark Knight. I also looked to see what else was out. Wow. What a lack of strong female characters. And you know what the sad part is? No one really seems to care. There is no uproar. There aren’t even any rumblings.

I don’t watch reality shows. And I don’t pay a lot of attention to the things that celebrities say. But sometimes celebs say something so stupid that you just can’t miss it. And the most recent case of that is Brooke Hogan. She is the daughter of Hulk Hogan. And I think she had a pop album out a while back.
Apparently little Brookie things that women should not be in politics. In fact, here is her full stupid quote…
You know what? I am actually not that much into voting. I think it’s kinda crazy that a woman is running, because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I’m so moody all the time, I know I couldn’t be able to run a country, ’cause I’d be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, ya know?

Have you seen those commercials on TV for credit report monitoring? You know the ones, right? They feature a guy, usually singing, and another guy with him. The most annoying one is the one where he is in a seafood restaurant. But I saw a new one the other day. It talks about how he had good credit. Then he married a girl with bad credit. And now his credit is shot. And he is left working a crappy job. I’m not sure what the job has to do with anything. But the clear message is that the bad credit issues are all the woman’s fault. As if.

If you have kids, then you likely worry about what they are listening to when it comes to music. If that is the case then you need to know about a summer concert tour. It is the Disney Music Block Party Tour.
It is part festival part concert. And it is something the whole family can enjoy.
There will be some live musical performances by They Might Be Giants, Imagination Movers, Barenaked Ladies, Dan Zanes, Ralph’s World, and Choo Choo Soul. And Raven-Symone is hosting most of the stops.

Angelina Jolie has had her twins. Early reports stated that she had given birth to two girls. Now official reports state otherwise.
She gave birth to one girl and one boy. And thankfully she did not give them crazy names like a lot of celebs.
Angelina named the boy Knox Leon. And she named the girl Vivienne Marcheline. What a beautiful name!

Jennifer Hudson has been in the spotlight for a while now. People know what she looks like. That is why it is so ridiculous that they Photoshopped her new album cover. In case you have not seen it, I have put it below.
Apparently she was on the BET awards last month and was nowhere near this size. Why does the entertainment industry insist on being body image police? And why didn’t Jennifer stand up for herself since she always proclaims to be proud of her body?
