She has greatest hits, but some forgettable looks!
Rihanna: One of the columnists at Entertainment Weekly wrote a great column on how people are mistaken for thinking Rihanna is a role model. Memo to the world: being a pop singer doesn’t make you qualified to set examples for kids!
American Idol: Rumor has it that the producers already “picked” the final four. The show’s response? “No comment.” Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve been accused of rigging the voting. Definitely won’t be the last.
DWTS: There’s a ton of so-called professional post-show bloggers out there, but for an inside source, check out judge Bruno Tonioli’s over at The Daily Beast.
Madonna: Working on a greatest hits album to be released in the fall. Will likely include new songs as well. Does this woman ever stop?!
Natasha Richardson: With so many conflicting stories out there, we’re not going to link to anything. Some say she’s brain dead. Others say she was talking fine after the accident. Let’s stop speculating and just wait for an official comment!
Facebook: As hardcore Twitter users (follow us at @sizzlemaker!), we simultaneously annoyed and pleased by Facebook’s recent changes. Most people, it seems, are just upset because they can be. No one likes change, do they?
SIZZLED OUT: SciFi (becoming SyFy)
STILL SIZZLING: This late actor, best known for his filmwork, directed two soon-to-be-released music videos before his unexpected death.
Sizzle: When The Media Sizzles, You'll Find It Here!

Re: Idol– picking the final four is not the same as rigging the vote. The producers probably have their “picks” every year, and they’d be dumb not to, but that’s a far cry from fudging the actual call-in totals. There are other ways to influence the show and they do them every year 😛
