AS SEEN ON: Britney's ‘3' tops the charts

October 19, 2009

Courtesy of thehypefactor.com Britney Spears, once again, is at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with her new single, "3." It's deja vu: Last October, "Womanizer" hit the top spot. This time, however, I don't get it at all. I always like hearing good news about Britney Spears.

HEAR AND NOW: Long Live the King

By Rebecca Lee | October 12, 2009

Michael Jackson may be dead, but he definitely isn't gone. Although the pop sensation bid the world farewell on July 25, his death seems to have sparked a craving for all things MJ. The latest example of Jackson's immortality is Sony Music's release yesterday of "This Is It." Insiders speculate that the track was recorded sometime around 1991 when Jackson was working on "Dangerous" (1991). This song might actually be it: the fruition of Jackson's aspirations to stage a comeback in 2009.

Gervais' acting and writing talents shine in ‘Lying'

By kelly o'brien | October 11, 2009

A number of familiar obstacles stand between Mark Bellison (writer-director Ricky Gervais) and his beautiful date, Anna McDoogles, (Jennifer Garner) in the first scene of "The Invention of Lying" (2009). They include Mark's lack of financial assets, his soon-to-be lack of employment, his lack of any apparent talent that could remedy those situations and the obstacle that proves most difficult to overcome his chubby, snub-nosed exterior. It is, perhaps, in recognition of our own superficial tendencies that we are first introduced to Mark through a voice-over.
