A far cry from today's Barbie!

Chris Brown: Even though critics have urged Nickelodeon to revoke his Kids Choice Awards nominations, the network says the competition and voting will proceed as planned. Wrong message to send to kids or what does one have to do with the other? We’re very torn.

DWTS: Newsday is a bit “incredulous” that The Bachelor’s Melissa performed so well the other night despite being asked to join the competition last minute. The article makes some interesting points but who really expects truth in reality television anymore?

Kelly Clarkson: Idol’s first winner admits she’s never fallen in love. How is that possible when little Miley Cyrus says she has dozens of times?

Jay Leno: Doing a free stand-up concert in Detroit for the unemployed. Says Leno: “Who’s got money for entertainment these days?” So true, Jay. So true.

Conan O’Brien: Leno’s replacement is getting some funny endorsements from Tina Fey, Adam Sandler and other big-name stars. Curious to see if the ratings stunt pays off when his new show premieres in June. Still a long way off.

K-Rock: Rock and roll isn’t here to stay if you live in New York. Later today, the radio station is changing to the Top 40 genre. That means no more Metallica and no more shock jocks Opie and Anthony. The station’s previous switch from rock to talk radio failed and the company offered fans a mea culpa. Maybe second time’s charm?

Barbie: Horrible narration aside, this video provides an interesting look at how Barbie has changed over the years. Kind of made us want to go digging through our collection!

Power Rangers: Not sure if this should make us feel old or young, but the classic children’s series will no longer make new episodes. Probably a good thing since every season after the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers sucked. That’s right–we said it.

SIZZLED OUT: Carrie Underwood

STILL SIZZLING: Tickets to this Brit’s concert sold out in just 7 seconds. Imagine what it would’ve been like if computer sales existed back in his group’s heyday!

Kanye with his "baby sis"

Rihanna: Most publications are reporting, based on “sources,” that she was indeed the victim of Chris Brown’s alleged assault. (The first to name her, perhaps unethically, was the Los Angeles Times.) As such, PEOPLE has an article on Kanye West’s concern for Rihanna: he’s “devastated” and would do “any and everything to help her.” He also says he thinks RiRi could be “the greatest artist of all time.” That’s a little much, Kanye. You can stop now.

Obama: The Mrs. will be only the second First Lady in history to be featured on the cover of Vogue. The first: Hillary Clinton. We would’ve guessed Jackie O!

Obama Pt. 2: Gave the Huffington Post the honor of being the first online publication to be called upon in a White House news conference. Will SIZZLE be next? (Hey, we can dream, can’t we?!)

Grey’s Anatomy: Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight are as good as gone. Apparently it’s just a matter of “when.”

Adam Sandler: If this doesn’t mean hilarity, we don’t know what does. Sandler will star alongside Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David Spade in a yet-to-be-titled movie. It’s gotta be funny, right?

Queen Latifah: Not best known for her singing but the girl does have a voice. She’ll prove it later this month when shes sings the classic “I’ll Be Seeing You” at the Oscars.

Future TV: A new report argues that, in the future, we’ll have the capability of watching TV through contact lenses. Tattoos that allow us to feel the character’s emotions may also be possible. Sounds bizarre. And incredibly intriguing!

My Network TV: In its own futuristic move, network is planning to stop being, well, a network. Instead it will just have two hours of syndicated programming each week night. The rest will likely be paid programing a la infomercials. As long as it includes ShamWow, we’re in!

Sports Illustrated: If the cover model (Bar Refaeli) for the Swimsuit issue is going to pull her bottoms down, couldn’t they at least make sure she didn’t have any tan lines? Or is that supposed to be hot or something?

Celeb Mags: No wonder we can’t get hired! The grocery line staples are suffering from major losses right now. Not that we didn’t already know that. And not that we wanted to work for tabloids, anyway. PEOPLE (our dream job!) was the only mag to grow!!!!

SIZZLED OUT: Nick Cannon (Mariah Carey)

STILL SIZZLING: A first-time survey by Forbes ranked this actor, known for his sitcom and movie blockbusters, as “Hollywood’s most valuable,” meaning he is the best at “ensuring the financial success of film projects.”

Magazine, Paris Hilton, Rob Lowe, Seth Rogen, Soap Opera Digest, The Real World, Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker on November 20, 2008 by sizzlemaker

Soon this all will be just a bad dream!

Paris Hilton: At first “sources” were saying that she and Benji Madden are no longer together but we weren’t sure whether to believe it. They made huge declarations of their love as recently as last month. Turns out, the Associated Press got official confirmation from Hilton’s publicist. You win some, you lose some…

Miley Cyrus: Wants to be on a reality television show beacause they’re “crazy” and it would be cool “to be in a really nice house with cameras following me around.” Lucky for her, MTV is casting for season 22 of The Real World. Be careful what you wish for, Miley!

Rob Lowe: Chinese delegates, in California to discuss global warming with the governator, got the pleasure of witnessing Lowe film a scene for Brothers & Sisters. Lowe even got them directors’ chairs and headsets. What an inefficient use of time!

Gawker: Categorizes the 4 different ways magazines have been killed lately. Funny and sad at the same time.

OK! Magazine: They’re practically the only mag out there hiring. Too bad we don’t want to work for them! (Yes, we know one day we will regret saying that!)

Jossip: The aforementioned regret has already begun. Internships at some pretty desirable mags are now for sale, as in YOU PAY TO DO THEM. This truly is a “New America.” One in which we stay in bed under the covers all day.

Soap Opera Digest: You know times are bad when a publication starts asking for “volunteer writers.” At least they’re not auctioning the spots off to the highest bidder!

24: The two-hour telepic, airing Sunday, is a “dry-run” for a full-length feature in theaters. Ratings and DVD sales will be the deciding factors.

Blink-182: Mark Hoppus admits to talking a lot lately with former bandmates Travis Barker and Tom DeLonge. The best news: a music reunion, though not yet discussed, isn’t totally out of the question!

Beauty & the Geek: May have a second life on MTV, with D-list celebs participating as the beauties. Hard to believe Ashton Kutcher is involved with this crap.

AR2: What if there was a second American Revolution? That question is the subject of a new series in the works at FX. The “incendiary” plot will revolve around college students who stage a revolt and try to re-define the meaning of patriotism.

Judd Apatow: His next movie won’t be out til next summer at the earliest and it’s already getting press play. We’re not surprised considering, a, his track record and, b, the stars lined up (Adam Sandler, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jason Schwartzman and wife Leslie Mann).

SIZZLED OUT: Josh Schwartz

STILL SIZZLING: This actress spent an hour in the hospital after getting sick on a plane. Realizing the best days of our career were behind us would make us sick, too.

Will daddy's little twin make room for baby?

American Idol: A failed contestant, reportedly obsessed with judge Paula Abdul, committed suicide outside the singer’s home. Will the show be softer with its criticism now? Sadly, we doubt it.

Idol Gives Back: Guess not everything they do is bad. They raised $64 million for international charities.

Adam Sandler: Remains the only man in his family since his wife just gave birth to a baby girl. This makes a second mini-me for the funnyman. His older daughter looks just like him!

Rosie O’Donnell: The first details about Ro’s variety special are slipping out: Alanis Morrisette and Ne-Yo will both perform. After all, she’s the Queen of Nice and she can have whatever she likes.

Jennifer Aniston: Throws around phrases like “this is going to be a hayride and a half.” No wonder she’s still single. She also says she and ex John Mayer “adore one another.” Hmmmm…

Billy Joel: Going on tour with Elton John…for two years?! At least, says the piano man. He also claims ticket prices won’t be high. Yeah, we’ll believe it when we see it.

DWTS: Was there some poor sportsmanship at last night’s elimination? After Maurice Green got the ax, the audience burst out into cheers. And that was audience consisted of teens happy that hottie Cody Linley was still in the game.

Raffaello Follieri: Anne Hathaway’s ex wants to change prisons because the jail he’s in now is too “unsanitary.” What, you thought you were going to a country club?

Joe Jonas: Poor Taylor Swift! Not only did the Jo Bro dump her in such a we-must-still-be-in-high-school way, but he’s also already moved on! Sketch!

Brad Garrett: Everybody doesn’t love Brad. Or the papparazzi. The result: a criminal investigation into battery. Oh boy.
