All Britney Glee?

The latest news stemming from the all Madonna episode of Glee is that Britney Spears' manager, Adam Leber, is campaigning to get Spears an all Britney episode of the hit series.

What do you think of the idea? Personally, I'm all for it. I can just see it now. Santana (Naya Rivera) going to Finn (Cory Monteith) pleading, "Hit Me Baby One More Time." Kurt (Chris Colfer) slinking his way through "I'm a Slave 4 U" with a certain man on his mind. The lovely Glee ladies feeling empowered by singing "Stronger." So many possibilities...

Leber started the trending topic "#BritneySpearsGLEE" on Twitter with the hope of the idea catching on. Let's make this happen people!

Heidi Klum Takes Project Runway to the Red Carpet

Fans of Project Runway will recall the eleventh challenge of the season where the designers were charged with making a red carpet look worthy of the divine Heidi Klum.

In the end, Emilio Sosa won the challenge and Klum took to the red carpet in his winning dress at the premiere of "The Back-Up Plan." As evidenced in the picture, there were a few alterations, namely in the color and the length.

I prefer the drama of the original design. After comparing both dresses, you'd think Klum's dress was the one put together in a day or two!

Pop Goddess Kylie Minogue Returns with Aphrodite

Kylie Minogue will make a return to the charts on June 28th when her new single, "All The Lovers" is released. The track is the lead single from her forthcoming 11th studio album, "Aphrodite," which will be released on July 5th.

Kylie will take things back to her dance floor roots as Stuart Price was the executive producer of the album. Price produced Madonna's "Confessions On a Dance Floor." You can check out a preview of the first single here.

CW Shows Round-Up

May Sweeps is approaching, meaning it is almost season finale time for many of our favorite shows on the tube. The CW has released some juicy tidbits on the upcoming plots of some of their most popular shows from the 2009-2010 season.

I can't wait to see what happens. Be prepared people...there will be dramatic exits and devastating deaths.

Zap2it reports on "The Vampire Diaries," "Smallville," "One Tree Hill," "Gossip Girl," and "90210." WARNING: Some spoilers ahead.

When "Gossip Girl" returns, so will Serena's dad. Billy Baldwin stars as William Van Der Woodsen, and he's not going to make things easy for Rufus when they bump into each other at Lily's aparment. In the season finale, Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) is back. Of course, she's never just in town for a visit -- she's got a definite agenda. Blair and Chuck's future together will hang in the balance, all leading up to a possible showdown on top of the Empire State Building. We've confirmed with The CW that when the series returns in the fall, Jenny (Taylor Momsen) will be M.I.A. ... no news yet on how she'll make her great escape from the Upper East Side.

All is not well on "One Tree Hill." Skills returns from California to find out that Mouth, his best friend, has been hanging out with Miss Lauren. Meanwhile, Haley is still coming to terms with her mother's death, and her grief will spiral into depression. Nathan, Jamie, and the rest of their friends will convince her to join them in Utah for Julian's movie premiere. The season finale -- which was actually shot in Utah -- may be the last we see of the Tree Hill gang, as The CW hasn't yet renewed it for Season 8.

On "Smallville," Tess will break into Watchtower - and Chloe's elaborate security system will backfire, trapping both of them inside. Clark is going to realize that Zod has juiced his soldiers wtih super powers. He and Chloe will search for the Book of Rao to find out how to stop the army, but Clark will be a little bit preoccupied by a visit from his mom (Annette O'Toole) and her new boyfriend. When Clark and Zod have their final showdown to gain control of the planet, Chloe will call for backup... bringing back a few familiar faces.

Will Stefan's new human blood habit drive Elena into Damon's arms? "The Vampire Diaries" will never be the same after Stefan and Damon finally tell Elena how they became vampires in another highly-anticipated flashback episode. Damon and Alaric will continue their reluctant partnership as they try to get the jump on Jonathan Gilbert, who is headed for a messy fight with Pearl. A mysterious invention -- possibly dreamt up by the original Jonathan Gilbert in 1864 -- will bring Isobel back to Mystic Falls, but Elena's first meeting with her birth mother won't end well. Not everyone will survive the season finale on May 13.

So much for no-drama-Adrianna on "90210." She's going to record a duet with a sexy pop star (played by Diego Boneta), and their subsequent romance will put a wrench in Navid's plans to confess his feelings for her. Teddy's dad (Ryan O'Neal) isn't fond of Silver, but despite his dad's insistence that they break up, Teddy and Silver plan to take their relationship to the next level.

Leonard Nimoy Hanging Up His Vulcan Ears For Good

Spock's journey has come to an end as Leonard Nimoy has announced that he is retiring from acting, IGN reported Tuesday. This means that he will not reprise his role as Spock Prime in the sequel to 2009's Star Trek. Some of you may be wondering about Nimoy's role in Fringe, but he has concluded his tenure on the show.

"I want to get off the stage. Also, I don't think it would be fair to Zachary Quinto," Nimoy said of his successor in the role of the USS Enterprise's Vulcan first officer. "He's a terrific actor, he looks the part, and it's time to give him some space. And I'm very flattered the character will continue."

Nimoy's retirement also means that he will no longer be actively involved with conventions and fan events.

Yup, he's hanging up his Vulcan ears for good. We wish Leonard Nimoy a happy retirement and that he may "live long and prosper."

No Grace For Gaga

Scary pop icon Grace Jones has labeled the Fame Monster herself, Lady Gaga, as unoriginal and accuses Gaga of copying her signature style.

"I've seen some things she's worn that I've worn, and that does kind of piss me off... I wouldn't go to see her."

Despite what Jones had to say, Lady Gaga has freely admitted that she's been inspired by Jones and even referred to her as "Jesus."

Jones may want to rethink her refusal to work with Gaga...when's the last time we've heard or seen anything from her prior to this? Hmmmmm? Exactly!

American Idol Interview: Will Young

Season 8 American Idol winner Kris Allen enjoyed the water attractions at the Atlantis Resort & Casino in the Bahamas with his wife, family, and friends. Allen performed a 45 minute concert in the Atlantis ballroom. Check out the rest of the Idol hottie's pictures from the source.

In the picture below, Allen is with his bandmate Cale (on the left) and his younger brother, Daniel (on the right). I really don't see the family resemblance.

Who's the Wealthiest Fictional Character?

Forbes magazine has released their annual list of wealthiest fictional characters. It's definitely an eclectic mix.

At the top of the list is Carlisle Cullen, the head of the vampiric Cullen clan from the Twilight novels and movies. How the hell does Forbes figure this out? I don't know, but here's their explanation for Mr. Cullen:

Immortal vampire and small-town doctor has quietly amassed a fortune over the centuries. In 1670 received generous handout from Italian friends; put savings in bank, reaped billions in compound interest. Made shrewd long-term investments in steel, gold, oil, thanks to prescience of daughter turned financial advisor Alice; saw recessions coming, invested early in Wal-Mart. Earned doctor's salary for 340 years without paying for groceries, health care expenses. Avoids sunshine and public displays of wealth but owns several valuable properties, including yacht, private island, collection of Renaissance art.

Scrooge McDuck is at No. 2, which explains how he was able to swim in a vault full of gold coins!

Here is the entire Forbes Fictional 15:

Thank You, Brett Claywell

After Brett Claywell's final appearance as Kyle Lewis on ABC's One Life to Live, the talented and gracious actor left a wonderful note to his fans on his Facebook page.

Throughout his run on the soap and after his surprise firing, Claywell has shown that he is an absolute class act. He poured his heart and soul into his role and portrayed one of the most beautiful love stories ever told.

The story of Kyle Lewis (Claywell) and Oliver Fish (Scott Evans), two former fraternity brothers who reconnected and rekindled their past love only after much emotional turmoil, was eye-opening, refreshing, ground-breaking, and touching.

It is a shame that the story has come to an end, but it will live on in the hearts of fans for a very long time. As for Claywell, his talent and passion for acting will undoubtedly lead to bigger and better roles and he has earned the undying support of fans from all over the world.

After His Prison Break, Wentworth Miller Decides to EAT...A LOT!

Fans of Fox's Prison Break and Wentworth Miller will recall his svelte, tattooed body which had the designs to free him from prison and to send hearts racing everywhere. Apparently, prison food is good for your diet as evidenced by these pictures:

What the Pop happened, Wentworth? Miller was photographed hiking with a friend and sporting a few extra pounds. It's not that he looks bad, but it's very different from the man we once knew.

Next up for the actor is Resident Evil: Afterlife in September. I wonder if he's this hefty in the movie? I hope not. Otherwise, he'll definitely be zombie food and the zombies will be eating for days!
