$61 MILLION DOLLARS IS A LOT OF MONEY

oh my gosh! this is pure insanity and financial waste at its very worst...britney spears blew through a shit load of money over the past few months - in touch weekly claims the one-time pop princess spent $61 million dollars in less than one year (due to her messy behavior which included legal bills & 'health' expenses) holy fucking cow - oh my gosh - i felt bad about purchasing both my xbox 360 & ps3 at the same time - the price of those combined is a mere drop in britney's bucket! she has been literally bleeding cash (i'd love a fraction of her fortune to pay off my student loans) and hasn't brought much in - reportedly ms. spears lost out on $50 million because she didn't tour with her latest album blackout (hands down her best album - i'm still listening to it on a fairly regular basis) below is britney leaving a vocal lesson which i'm sure must have cost a pretty penny...at least she got to leave with her very own burned CD (which probably cost extra...) people see her coming and the dollar $ign$ $tart adding up in their head$! popbytes over & out for tonight - thank heavens tomorrow is friday - xxoo

ORANGE SKIN - UMMM...NOT SO FASHIONABLE

good evening! can i just tell you that i sat in a nightmare of a traffic jam? the good times started out around melrose & highland...to get to hollywood & highland - it took almost an entire hour! that's not a very far distance at all (1.25 miles to be exact) i was losing my mind but thankfully i'm home now! moving on - i've never understood how people can go out of the house looking like they were spray painted orange - for example legendary fashion designer valentino (who's getting up there at age 75) he was spotted out last night in new york city going to dinner at the waverly inn looking way too orange for his own good (the color is uneven and doesn't match his neck, ears, or hands) i know being pale isn't always the best look but this is totally ridiculous - it looks like crap! i'll go to the tanning salon occasionally but i've never done the spray tan nor do i have any plans to give it a try (i'd have to go into hiding if i looked orange like he does) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo

† FROM DJ PAUL V.
Remember when Fergie dropped her big hit, 'Fergalicious'? Did you keep digging in the back of your brain wondering 'what does this song remind me of?' Well, if you didn't solve the mystery yourself, I will. Fergie basically copped two songs: 'Push It' by Salt 'N Pepa (who I hope will be back on reality TV soon!) and 'Supersonic' by JJ Fad, both fresh 'n funky, late 80's b-girls. LA's own DJ Axel decided to expose the rip-off - er, I mean, inspiration - and it's part of his super cool mega-mashup project, Breakin' The Law. Also check out the excellent VJ Brewski video embedded below!
