oh my word - i loved jason castro when he was on the 7th season of american idol ... those gorgeous blue eyes and his dreamy blank stares (yet he could lose the dreads!) check out the cover of his self-titled debut album - he's looking so damn adorable! then have a listen to jason's new single that's what i'm here for here (you can pick it up on itunes) popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo ...

damn! this latest cover of W magazine featuring jennifer aniston and gerard butler (i love that they call him 'gerry') is hot! it's shot by famed photographer steven klein (for more pictures head to the magazine's website) although they do make a stunning looking couple - i don't know about their on-screen chemistry (and who know what's going on with them in real-life?!) that upcoming movie they did together the bounty hunter looks completely awful! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo ...

good evening! who else is watching american idol right now?! although i said i wouldn't watch the show without (messy) judge paula abdul - i just couldn't help myself and although i do really miss my paula - i think ellen degeneres has turned out to be quite a good fit for the show! as for the contestants this year - nobody is really blowing me away at all - like adam lambert did last time around (or fantasia barrino back in season three) there's simply no ...

hey hey! here's a live video of madonna on her big money-making sticky & sweet world tour doing her hit song 4 minutes with cutie justin timberlake and timbaland - it's off the upcoming DVD releasing at the end of the month! although i wasn't impressed at all with this tour (confessions was way better) i'll still be adding this to my madge collection! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo ...

i'm totally stoked to see the runaways - the new film based on the true tale of 1970's los angeles rock band the runaways - starring dakota fanning as cherie currie and kristen stewart as joan jett (both actresses look eerily like their real-life counterparts!) the movie doesn't open until next friday (march 19th) but i'm going to a press screening one week from tonight - i'll definitely let you guys know what i think (at least i know the soundtrack is going to rock ... i freakin' love ...

i do think brazilian model jesus luz is pretty damn sexy but i'm getting sick of looking at that unsightly curly mop on the top of his head (check him out below playing DJ in lisbon) it's totally time for madonna to send her boy toy to the barbershop! although madge might actually be over him ... she was spotted out with another younger man this past weekend while partying here in los angeles! i guess she's keeping all of her options open - smart lady! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo ...

oh i do think i'm love with jared leto - his new haircut is beyond adorable - i featured him a couple of weeks ago in my just because he's cute column - before he chopped off a lot of his hair - he was at the lanvin fashion show over in paris - looking totally cute - i swear ever since my so-called life, i've had a thing for him - except like i've already said - not a fan of his band 30 seconds to mars - ...

hey y'all! with the premiere of dancing with stars about two weeks away (monday, march 22nd) you'd think pamela anderson might be busy practicing her dance moves but she's still partying like a (washed-up) rock star - girlfriend was spotted leaving a london club looking a bit disheveled (what else is new?!) if she wants to last on the show - she's needs to calm down on the late night escapades and start learning all the steps that will be coming down the pike! i'm totally going to vote for ms. anderson like a crazy ...

UPDATE! oops ... the pictures were labeled wrong ... that's not nikki sixx - it's actually guitarist steve stevens - sorry about that! many thanks to the commenter 'tinakay' below for the heads up! ... nikki sixx's new lady friend (i'm not sure of her name, does anyone know who she is?) the mötley crüe bassist (who recently split with LA ink star kat von d) was spotted out last night leaving bardot here in los angeles - and his date had an outfit on (if you can ...

hey hey! here's the brand new goldfrapp video for their totally delicious and hot eighties-inspired single rocket - off their upcoming album head first (releasing march 22nd - i can't wait) sexy lead singer alison goldfrapp doesn't mess around ... in the video (drenched in xanadau colors) she completely tapes up and kidnaps her former flame and sends him off into space via a big ass rocket (i wonder what he did to deserve that?) watch the drama below! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo ...

oh happy day! we've got a brand new track from courtney love and her new band (although she's still calling it hole - good branding) called skinny little bitch (off the upcoming album nobody's daughter - due out next month) i freakin' LOVE it - i swear i've already played it like 50x - have a listen below - then download it for free over on nobodysdaughter.com - plus she announced two shows - one in new york city (april 27th @ terminal 5) and the other here in los angeles ...

hey hey! this is a follow-up post ... yesterday i featured estelle's new single freak (produced by david guetta) and just today the video premiered after a slight delay (it was supposed to be released last friday) i think her new album all of me is definitely going to have a different vibe than her last one shine - i'm really digging this single and the video! anyways, tonight i'm heading downtown for the opening of dreamgirls at the ahmanson - i've always wanted to see this show performed ...

during the season finale of the bachelor last night (jake picked vienna - ugh) the new cast of dancing with the stars was announced - all eleven people are posted below - of course i'm tossing all of my support behind pamela anderson - i love the hot mess factor she'll no doubt bring to the show (along with a nipple slip) if she goes then i'm going to take a spot on team shannen doherty! the competition kicks off on monday, march 22nd - i always say i'm not going ...

oh what will lady gaga think of next?! i swear it seems like everyday she's got something totally crazy on (in the past few days she did huge antlers and a cam-equipped outfit) she was spotted out last night in london (after her gig at the O2 arena) grabbing a bite to eat at mr. chow's with a diamond-encrusted silver lobster philip treacy headpiece - along with a (rubber?) chicken claw dangling from her wrist - plus the dress is made of plastic and it's see-through (what's ...

good evening! i'm sorry for being a little out of the loop - my folks are visiting me for a few days so i've been away from the computer but things will be back to normal next week! right now i've got the brand new shakira video for gypsy, the third single off her latest release she wolf (a very decent album!) she looks stunning in the video - plus she's got a sexy co-star by her side - spanish tennis player rafael nadal - who helps turn up the steamy factor! popbytes ...

good morning! has anybody else been loving the new sade album? apparently a lot of people are because it nabbed the top spot on the billboard charts - selling 500,000+ copies in its first week of release which is pretty amazing considering it's their first release in ten years! (lovers rock peaked at #3 back in 2000) it's a great album - totally relaxing - perfect for late-night chilling or sunday brunch! below is a remix (by konrad) of the first single and title track soldier of love - if you ...

i'm freaking out over this amazing video - a blend of lady gaga's hit song bad romance and GLEE! kudos to creator mannylondon - it's so damn awesome! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo ...

oh lordy - can jennifer love hewitt be any more annoying than she already is? i can't say anything horrible or mean about her but damn she's gotta get on people's nerves (just look at that hairbow!) i seriously wonder how her comedian boyfriend jamie kennedy deals? (we already know how ms. hewitt deals) she was celebrating her 31st birthday over in toluca lake - maybe the (lame) celebration idea was to dress up like a thirteen-year-old version of madonna? because that's exactly what she looks like! (i swear i'd slit my wrists hanging out with her) ...

earlier today i was watching a stream of the annual brit awards where lady gaga performed (a mix of telephone / dance in the dark - dedicated to the recently deceased alexander mcqueen - watch it below) and picked up three awards in all (the first international act to do so in five years - here's the full list of winners) of course girlfriend showed up in yet another crazy high fashion costume - the pic below of her arriving on the red carpet totally reminded me of that classic childrens' ...

Even better than busting your butt at the gym is taking some well deserved time off! Just as you schedule (or should schedule) being active, whether that's a dance class, taking a hike, going to the gym, walking around the mall (hello, sopping burns calories, only buying burns cash!); you should also schedule time off from your workout routine. A vacation, trip or just a long weekend 'staycation' is the perfect time to take a break from your life. So many health and fitness plans forget that your emotional well being is even more important than being ...
