Check out a house you will never own...

Britney Spears relisted the house she was dragged out of on a 5150 hold a few years ago.  It's on the market for a nice $5.5 million.

TMZ has pics of the house.

Pretty swanky!

Suri Cruise carries a more expensive handbag than I do...

According to US Weekly, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter, Suri, carries around an $850 Ferragamo purse and absolutely hates jeans.  She'll only wear dresses and heels.  She also has her own private playground.

Mind you- she's 3 years old.

Wow...  Suri, can you say "spoiled"?

Sure, Suri is already A-list and she's just 3 years old.  Can you imagine what she could grow to be like if her parents don't keep her grounded in some way?  She can grow to have such a sense of entitlement- it's scary.  My kid is going to be wearing clothes from Target and on nice occasions- Baby Gap.  The money Tom and Katie must drop on her clothes must be enough to sustain a small country.

Geez.

President of The Culture Campaign calls Lady Gaga "poison"

This is such BS.  On Fox News' America Live, Megan Kelly and Sandy Rios, President of The Culture Campaign, said Lady Gaga is "poisoning youth" and she portrays "sado-maschist porn"..

Bitches, please....  Love you Gaga!

Ticketmaster is very shady...

It's common knowledge that Ticketmaster is being investigated into its practices and this is certainly a new example of why they are being investigated:

Today was the Lady Gaga presale for her concert at MSG on July 6th.  You had to be a CitiCard holder, which I am...  The presale started today, and all the tickets were sold out.  I was curious, so I researched tickets on StubHub, and there they are!  Tickets galore with the prices double, triple, and quadruple the asking price on Ticketmaster's website.

They got into hot water over this with Springsteen's concerts- you'd think they'd learn.  It's extremely annoying and unfair to the public that all these tickets are suddenly sold out the second they go on sale.  I had this problem on Saturday with trying to get Glee tickets.  I could definitely get tickets to see the Gaga, but I really can't afford to spend $1,000 right now.  In these times, it seems ludicrous to me to pay that much for a concert.

I hope that she adds some more shows at MSG or even Nassau Coliseum, and hopefully I can get dibs on some seats. 

Tiger will play the Masters

Tiger Woods released the following statement this morning, indicating that he will play the Masters:

"The Masters is where I won my first major, and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta.

"The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and, as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be, even though it's been awhile since I last played.

"I have undergone almost two months of inpatient therapy, and I am continuing my treatment. Although I'm returning to competition, I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life.

"When I finally got into a position to think about competitive golf again, it became apparent to me that the Masters would be the earliest I could play. I called both Joe Lewis and Arnold Palmer and expressed my regrets for not attending the Tavistock Cup and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. I again want to thank them both for their support and their understanding. Those are fantastic tournaments, and I look forward to competing in them again.

"I would also like to thank the Augusta National members and staff for their support. I have deep appreciation for everything that they do to create a wonderful event for the benefit of the game."

I can't wait to see how the fans and commentators react to his return.  This should be interesting, and will most likely dominate the media just as his "accident" did.

My letter to Google

... And Googlegate continues...

In an effort to better understand how and why this website is a "significant risk" to advertisers, I sent a letter to Google's New York offices today.  Do I expect them to reply? No.  But it would be courteous to do so.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to you to find out the specifics of why my AdSense account was terminated and why I am being considered a “significant risk” to your advertisers because I would like to better understand my situation and work to correct it.  As a publisher, I feel that I am entitled to know the extent of my supposed “risk”.

My website, thecelebologist.com, has been operating since November 2009 using Blogger and I have been very fortunate that it has caught on in popularity.  I even have a contract with a worldwide photo agency to legally display pictures in my posts.  I have built Facebook pages and Twitter pages to promote the website, and have been seeing daily increases in people visiting my website because of it.  I have used FeedBurner to feed my blog into Twitter.  I have even taken Google up on a promotion for AdWords to further promote it.  Because of these promotion efforts, my website has had over 3,600 visits since November, which is being tracked by Google Analytics.  I have seen my AdSense earnings increase, and believed (and still believe) it is a direct result of the promotion I am doing for the website.  Everything I have done for my website has been through Google, and I am very saddened and disheartened that Google abruptly disabled my account and denied my appeal.

I feel as if Google has shut down a thriving website and has crippled it.  I feel as if I am being punished for using your AdSense and Affiliate products, and for the success of my website.  The ads are there for visitors to click on and I have chosen ads carefully to match my target audience with Google Affiliate.  The commission I have RIGHTFULLY earned from Google Affiliate (Fossil) has even been taken away.

I want to understand why my account was terminated to see if there are any changes that need to be made or if I need to put some additional trackers on it to truly see if there is any invalid activity occurring on my website.  The vague answers on your emails and forums are not helpful to me in trying to correct this situation. I find it appalling that you would send such an email, and not follow through on replies and requests to know what in fact I am considered a “risk”.  I would very much like to continue using Google products, including using Blogger as my platform, however, I am very much disappointed in what has occurred and feel that I may have to switch to another platform.  I believed I had a great foundation with having my website linked to all the products Google has to offer and this situation has certainly been a shock to that belief. 

Thank you for taking the time to address my concern and I look forward to your reply.

Replying to my letter would be a part of this thing called "customer service" and "responsibility to customers".  We'll see how this plays out.

At this point, I don't really care about the money I (rightfully) earned that they kept to make themselves richer.  It's just the principle of the matter.  I want to know the reason(s) why I'm such a "risk".  When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong.  But, if I don't know what in the world happened, how will I know if it truly is something I'm doing?!?  I could be doing something and not even realizing it.  Who knows?!?  Maybe they'll reconsider and reinstate my account, although it's probably a fat chance.

I'll let you guys know when they respond.  Thanks again for your readership and support.

True Blood is returning in June!

I'm so excited!

The third season of True Blood is returning to HBO on Sunday, June 13th at 9pm!!

I love my vamps!  I bought the series in a paperback box set with all the intention in the world to read the entire saga before season three...  but I'm lazy and lose interest quickly when it comes to books (well, except the Twilight Saga, which I read cover to cover no less than 5 times).  I think I got halfway through the first book and quit.

Well, at least I don't know what's coming up.  Ignorance is bliss!

I said it first! Weight loss company is seeking Gabourey Sidibe!

Only days after my post, TMZ posted this little gem:

The CEO of the weight loss company, AcaiSupply.com, had reached out to Precious star Gabourey Sidibe to offer her a one year supply of their product in return for an endorsement.  The catch?  She needs to lose the weight.

I wrote about this a few days ago and I feel like it's the pink elephant in the room that no one wants to acknowledge.  Search the tag below to read my post.

I said it once and I'll say it again: She may be a great actress, but she certainly is not the picture of health.

Don't forget the premiere of "The Price of Beauty"!

Jessica Simpson's new show, The Price of Beauty, premieres tonight at 10pm ET on VH1.  Here's a trailer for the season:

This show looks so good, and I really think this is going to help Jessica get back up there again.

Best of luck, Jess!
