I’m all about some big-hatted women (Audrey Hepburn, Aretha Franklin, and even the occasional Lady GaGa lunacy) but Katie Cassidy gets an F- for her “Urban Mangobrero.” I thought the show was Melrose Place, not Taco Bellrose Place!

Jennifer Aniston? BARM/Fame Pictures I think if…

The hair is so horrible…
This tribute to Michael Jackson was re-released in July by Latoya as a tribute to Michael, and at that time her production company said there would be no promotion or marketing for the song. Things can change in a little over a month. I didn’t watch the whole thing because I’m trying to cut down…
