Again, hoping that this video won't be taken down too soon, here is the sneak peek of the upcoming film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which aired during the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. Movie looks great, hits theaters on June 24th! Can't wait.
The overall show was kind of lame, seems like the same movies and people won all the awards. But there were only a few things that made the 2009 MTV Movie Awards good which inlcudes the sneak peeks of upcoming films. The dude butt on Eminem's face and this, the hilarious opening of the awards show by host Andy Sanberg. Check it out! (Hopefully it won't be taken down from YouTube)
And it's finally here! The official movie trailer for the upcoming Twilight film New Moon has been released. You can ejoy that above, looks great! Can't wait to see this one when it hits the big screen in November.
Before the "ass-on-the-face" incident which had Eminem walking off the awards in anger and also has everyone talking, he took the stage to perform a medley of his latest singles "We Made You" and "Crack a Bottle". Enjoy!

Now, if you're not into animated films, then your choice this weekend could be the horror movie Drag Me to Hell. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is a loan officer with a good job and a promising future. With a promotion up in the air between her and another employee, her boss, Mr. Jacks (David Paymer), advises her that she needs to demonstrate that she can make "the hard calls" and tough decisions. When Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver), an elderly Gypsy woman, asks for a third extension on her mortgage, Christine, against her better instincts, denies her in an attempt to prove herself. In desperation, Ganush prostrates herself before Christine, begging and kissing the hem of her skirt. As a crowd of customers and employees gathers, Christine panics and shoves the woman away, gravely insulting her.
That night, in a parking garage, Ganush, enraged and humiliated, exacts revenge by attacking Christine, pulling her out of her car and tearing off one of the buttons on the sleeve of her jacket before using it to place a curse upon her. Shaken by this confrontation, but sure that no further harm will come of it, Christine tries to forget what has happened and move on with her life. But when she arrives home, a mysterious entity that only she can see begins to haunt and torment at all hours. She confides in her boyfriend, Clay Dalton (Justin Long); however, he is too skeptical to believe her stories about terrifying demons.
The Veronicas performed one of their past singles "4ever" live at The 5:19 show on BBC. It's been a while since I heard this song, I forgot I actually liked it. Check it out!
Black Eyed Peas- "Meet Me Halfway"
Green Day- "21 Guns"
Lady Gaga has released the music video for one of her latest singles "Paparazzi" to be released after "LoveGame" off her album The Fame. The video, which runs for over seven minutes is easily one of the best music videos I've seen in the last couple of years. Everything this woman does is to an extreme and it works more than well for her. This music video is simply great (and that's an understatement). It's just something you definitely wouldn't want to miss. GaGa is surely changing Pop music and as it has been said, it will never be the same again. Enjoy!
Katy Perry appears looking damn sexy on the cover of Complex Magazine, check it out above! Hot stuff.
Someone's coming after the Carrie Underwood record. Country singer Brad Paisley has just scored his tenth #1 single in a row on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart with his latest hit "Then" off the album American Saturday Night in stores June 30th.

New Header/Layout Coming: June 1st
The time to change the blog's layout is coming up once again, and for this summer I want to ask you to pick the three celebrities who will be featured on the upcoming summer header.

Lauren Conrad appears on the July 2009 cover of Cosmopolitan magazine looking, well, damn hot! The "reality" star talks about leaving The Hills and what she thinks the future holds for her. Check out the cover above.
Expect to see this official promo poster for the upcoming CW show Melrose Place just about everywhere from shopping malls to high way banners. Melrose Place will make its awaited-for premiere on The CW this fall.

Here's a song flying up on radio airplay. French DJ David Guetta has released the song "When Love Takes Over" featurting Kelly Rowland and it's becoming quite the hit. A short video was just released which shows the two on the set of the music video and talking about what it will be. Love the song, check it out!

The Pussycat Dolls have released their latest music video for the single "Hush Hush;Hush Hush". Lots of dancing going on in the video, good song... but overall, I feel like the Dolls have dissapointed many of their fans with their last album. Let's see where these ladies will take the group next, with out without Nicole Scherzinger.
The newest American Idol winner, Kris Allen, appeared live on Regis & Kelly to perform his new single "No Boundaries" live. Check it out!
Mandy Moore appeared live at The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform her latest single "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week" off her album Amanda Leigh in stores today. I like this song, hopefully it does good on the charts.
The season 5 premiere of Jon & Kate Plus 8 shattered all rating records for TLC. The hour-long episode -- in which tabloid cover queen Kate Gosselin admitted, "I have a lot of anger...this is not what I envisioned for us" -- attracted a whopping 9.8 million viewers, which more than doubled the audience that tuned into the show's season 4 finale in March (4.6 million). Early estimates also reveal that the premiere, which lured unprecedented numbers of women aged 18-34 and women 18-49, was TLC's (and Jon & Kate's) most-watched episode ever. It also trounced the broadcast networks, which aired mostly repeats because of the holiday (an original episode of The Bachelorette on ABC lured 6 million).
Monday's episode focused on the sextuplets' fifth birthday party, but a good deal of it was devoted to tense, one-on-one discussions between an off-camera producer and either Jon or Kate. Without specifically addressing how her husband has been accused of having an affair, the 34-year-old mother of eight spoke candidly about how Jon has "made poor decisions and we have to live with it" and how he "doesn't remind me of the Jon I used to know." For his part, Jon, 32, reiterated that he didn't cheat on his wife and how "people are getting paid off to say whatever they want to say" in the tabloids -- a direct reference to the barrage of press coverage about his late-night liaison with Deanna Hummel, 23. Jon also rued the day when his kids would Google him: "Hopefully, they'll be mature enough to understand it's all crap."
Both parents talked about how they were committed to their children, but they wouldn't address whether a split -- either temporary or permanent -- was in the cards. "I wish I knew," said Kate, when asked what the future holds for them, although she did admit that a group picture taken at the sextuplets' birthday party "could be our last."
"We very swiftly turned into two different people," Kate told the camera. "It's difficult."
David Cook has continued promotion of his Platinum-selling self-titled debut album. This time he appeared to perform his latest single "Come Back to Me" live at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Great song, enjoy!
This one makes me laugh, quite a bit. Brooke Hogan has released the album cover for her sophomore effort The Redemption and it's so bad it's hilarious. A painting of herself? Seriously? A cheap-looking one for that matter. Check it out, ha!
Singer Lily Allen appears on the new cover of Q Magazine, check it out above!

Above is the official cover for David Cook's charity single "Permanent" live performance from the American Idol finale. I would post a download link to the song, however, this is a charity song with all proceeds for a great cause and I do not feel right posting it, instead, I'm providing you with the link to purchase the song on iTunes, so CLICK HERE to do that. Proceeds from sales of the single are set to go toward an organization dedicated to finding a cure for cancer. Like I previously reported, Cook's brother has passed away after losing his battle with brain cancer and this song was dedicated to him.

Kris Allen & Keith Urban- "Kiss a Girl"
KRIS ALLEN
Mariah Carey will be releasing a new album towards the end of the year and via her official Twitter page she has announced the name for her new album. Carey states "Bcuz I Love U, I want u to be the first to know the title of my new album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" Its very personal & dedicated to u". Interesting title.
Worst single choice of the year right here. Britney Spears has released the single cover for "Radar" fourth song released from her album Circus in stores now. Extremely dissapointed at this single choice.
I though it couldn't get worst than "Diva". Beyoncé will release the fifth single from her I Am... Sasha Fierece album which is the song called "Ego" featuring Kanye West. The music video is set to premiere this week but I have to say this song is terrible, imo. But then again, most of the upbeat songs on this album are bad. Check out the official single cover above. Now, below is the cover for her upcoming DVD to hit stores June 16th called Above and Beyoncé Video Collection and Dance Mixes.

American Idol winner David Cook is currently promoting his newest single "Come Back to Me", this time he performed the song live at The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Don't forget, he will perform "Permanent" tonight at the American Idol finale! Can't wait to see that, must be really hard for him to sing that now since his brother has passed.
Lady Gaga performed her new single "LoveGame" at the season finale of Dancing With the Stars where 17 year-old Shawn Johnson walked away as the winner this season beating out actor Gilles Marini with less than a 1% difference in votes. Whoa! That's reportedly the closest finale ever in the show's history. Check out GaGa's performance and Congrats to the winners!!
Hopefully we'll get to see the full performance of this one! Carrie Underwood took the stage last night on American Idol to perform this season's goodbye song "Home Sweet Home" and because the show ran a little long her performance was cut off without it being finished. That got me angry, haha. All I'm saying is that we better get to see the full perfomance soon. For now, enjoy what we have.
Wow, the finals have come already? Here's what both Kris Allen and Adam Lambert performed tonight on American Idol.
Not only is she an extremely talented singer/songwriter, but Taylor Swift shows she's got a huge heart. Taylor appeared on the Oprah show where she had a little girl in tears. Check out the video, beautiful.
Here's another comeback I'm excited about! Blink-182 are back together and performed together for the first time in years live at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Check out their performance of "Rock Show" above. Loving it!!

I can't get enough of hearing this woman's voice. Enjoy!

I posted some pictures yesterday, but here's something better. American Idol finalist Michael Sarver took it on his own to make a exclusive look video at what the eleven Idol finalists do during their break at rehearsals for the upcoming Season Finale show - not the Tour like I had said yesterday. In the video we see every finalist except Kris Allen and Adam Lambert who are still competing. The Summer Tour will feature the Top Ten finalists only: Michael Sarver, Megan Joy, Scott MacIntyre, Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai, Matt Giraud, Allison Irheta, Danny Gokey and of course Adam and Kris leaving out Alexis Grace, Jorge Nunez and Jasmine Murray.

Linkin Park has recorded the lead single to be released from the original motion picture soundtrack of one of this summer's most anticipated films Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Here's the rest of the top five:
Lady Gaga is now promoting her newest single "LoveGame". She performed the song live at The Rove in the land down under this weekend.

It's been two years already? Gee, how time flies! Today, May 16, 2009 The Best Damn Blog has completed two full years running online and I could not be happier with how the blog has developed over the last two years. First of all and most importantly, I want to thank every single person who visits and enjoys this blog, especially those who have visited the blog since May 2007 and continue to do so today. I could not be more thankful for every visit, it honestly means a lot to me. In two years, the blog has been visited about 400,000 times which is more than I could ask for. Sure, some blogs get those visits in a matter of two or three months, but heck, I'm happy with my numbers and I get a kick of seeing the blog slowly become more popular. I'll tell you that this blog started off with around 50 visitors a day and it's my pleasure to say that currently I am receiving an average of 1,000 visitors daily. Amazing! Before I forget, another special thanks to the people who take the time to leave comments and share your opinions and points of view! Not only does it put a smile on my face but it inspires me to continue working hard on this blog. All in all, it is my hope that the blog continues to improve and continue to bring all of you pleasure and at least five minutes of entertainment a day. Once again, thank you all and here's to another year of success!

So check that out. For those who might not know yet, her album One of the Boys is in stores now, go buy it!
Jordin Sparks performed her new single "Battlefield" live at American Idol featuring Ryan Tedder at the keyboard. I liked this performance a lot actually and it made me like the song a little more.
Eliminated: 
I did not cover this season of America's Next Top Model because I thought I'd give it a break for a season, I've been doing it since Cycle 9 so I took a little break. The season's finale was tonight and once again I was dissapointed with the winner. Yes, at the beginning of this season I thought Teyona looked promising and I knew she would be a finalist but at the same time, Allison kept catching my eye and my attention more and more every week. On tonight's episode it was clear to me that Allison had done enough to walk home as America's Next Top Model, she had it all in the end, but Tyra and her gang decided to pick Teyona instead for reasons they only know. I must say, however, that those two girls were definitely the strongest this season, but again, I would have preferred to see Allison walk away with the title. Tomorrow I will be posting the CoverGirl shots from the final three contestants.
About next season, here's something interesting: all the models will be 5'7" or shorter making Cycle 13 officially a "short model cycle". Ha, that should be interesting. Also, expect to see either a new judge because Paulina Porizkova has been fired from the show. Maybe she'll get replaced or maybe we'll see only three judges next season. Who knows.
Carrie Becomes the First Country Artist in History to Achieve 10 #1 Singles from Their First Two Albums!
“I Told You So” Today Marks Her 10th #1 Single with Album Sales Already Topping 10 Million!
Nashville, TN – She’s sold more than 10 million albums with her first two records alone, and now Carrie Underwood hits another milestone 10 as her current smash, “I Told You So,” becomes her 10th single to top a key sales or airplay chart. The accomplishment makes the four-time GRAMMY winner the first country artist in history ever to achieve 10 #1 singles on the strength of their first two albums.
This week’s #1 country airplay blockbuster also marks the fifth consecutive chart-topper from Carrie’s Carnival Ride album, which includes “Just a Dream” and three hits Carrie co-wrote: “So Small,” “All-American Girl,” and “Last Name.”
The newly crowned ACM Entertainer of the Year and three-time reigning ACM and CMA Female Vocalist accomplishes the rare feat of taking a former #1 song to the top of the country charts a second time – 21 years after Randy Travis first saw his composition hit the chart summit. She becomes the first country artist to return a song to #1 since Alan Jackson took the Don Williams classic, “It Must Be Love,” back to the top nearly nine years ago.
In addition to her original recording of “I Told You So” on Carnival Ride, fans can also enjoy a special studio duet of the song, currently available as a digital single, featuring Carrie with Randy Travis.
The only American Idol winner ever to achieve 10 #1 hits, Underwood’s collection of chart-toppers began with the instant success of her post-American Idol single, “Inside Your Heaven,” which debuted atop Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in the summer of 2005. It was the first of five #1s to top the BDS or Mediabase charts from her 7x-Platinum debut, Some Hearts, with the others including the GRAMMY-winning “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “Before He Cheats,” as well as “Don’t Forget to Remember Me” and “Wasted.”
And in a bit of Carrie trivia, 10 continues to be a lucky number for Carrie. Her birthday is March 10, and just two weeks after her American Idol win in 2005, she made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry on the 10th of June and later became a member of the Opry with her official induction on May 10, 2008.

Danny Gokeyt.A.T.u. performed one of their biggest singles live at Eurovision 2009. The duo took the stage to sing "Not Gonna Get Us". It's been a while since I heard this song, glad to see them performing it on stage again. I have to say, they look great and this was a great performance as well. Enjoy.
I'm actually pretty damn embarrased to post this video because, well, it is that bad. Heidi Montag, who likes to call herself a singer, has released a new "music video" for her song "Blackout" directed by her dick of a husband Spencer Pratt. The reason why I'm posting it is because it is so bad I couldn't resist to talk trash about it. Watch the video to see Montag make a fool of herself and if you're looking for a good laugh this is the video to see. Enjoy!!! (I must say, however, that she does look damn hot in that bikini)
Lady Gaga is still working hard to promote her album The Fame in stores now. She appeared live at The Ellen DeGeneres Show where she performed "Poker Face" live. This is the same version she sang a couple of weeks ago at American Idol. Her sense of style is... definitely interesting. Great performance nonetheless. Enjoy!
Is it just me or are Beyoncé's hips unusually large? Anyway, here is a promo picture for Beyoncé's upcoming series of performances in Las Vegas called I Am... Yours.

The top three contestants on American Idol will each perform two songs this coming week. One is the judge's choice and the other is their own choice. Here I've got the spoilers of what each of them were assigned to sing by the judges. Spoilers ahead!
Britney Spears has announced that the fourth single from her album Circus (and Blackout) will be the song "Radar". The reason why I included Blackout in parenthesis is because the song is also found on that album, just a slightly different version. I like the song, but honestly... there is a lot of better material in Britney's new album and I can't believe they haven't gone with a ballad instead, she has not released a hit ballad in years! Hopefully the next one will be "Unusual You". Check out "Radar" above for those who have not heard it yet.
Out on the big screen right now is another of this year's most awaited-for films, Star Trek which features on the main characters of the original Star Trek series, who are portrayed by a new cast, though the film introduces a retroactively altered timeline which changes the events of the original series and the previous movies. It explores the backstories of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto), before they unite aboard the USS Enterprise to combat Nero (Eric Bana), a Romulan from the future who threatens the United Federation of Planets. Sounds good! Can't wait to see this one.
1. Adam Lambert - Whole Lotta Love
Taylor Swift performed her hit single "Teardrops on My Guitar" live at the Paul O'Grandy show. Great performance, although I'm wondering why she did not perform her new single "You Belong With Me" instead. Enjoy!

19 year-old country singer Taylor Swift appears looking gorgeous in the new cover of Flare magazine. She looks good, I like.
I return a little early from a trip to NY and I find that poor Rihanna can't seem to get a break lately. First, she's involved in the biggest scandal of her career yet. She was physically assaulted by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown and now some pictures of the singer have hit the web where she is seen completely nude. I wonder if Chris Brown has something to do with this? To see the pictures, click here. Open at your own risk.
Rock group Daughtry premiered their new single "No Surprise" live at American Idol last night. The song is great and I can't wait to see a music video for it. Don't forget their album Leave this Town hits stores July 14th!
For the first time ever, Paula Abdul has taken the stage on American Idol to perform one of her songs "Here for the Music". Although she lipsynched the song I have to say the performance was great, the dancing and coreography were really good. Check it out! Did not know Paula still had those dance moves in her.
The Black Eyed Peas performed their new single "Boom Boom Pow" live at Jimmy Kimmel's Concert Series. Check it out! Their album The E.N.D. hits stores this June.
There were only four contestants left so a bottom three was obviously not announced. Instead, the results were delivered in random order, what we do know is that the person that received the lowest amount of votes was Allison Iraheta who was sent home tonight during Idol. This leaves the final three to be Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey and Kris Allen. I believe this is the first time in Idol history that three men make up the final three. Next week the remaining contestants sing two songs each, one is the judge's pick and the other their own choice. Should be interesting.
As most of us know by now, No Doubt will be guest starring on a new episode of Gossip Girl and above is a clip of their performance. Can't wait to see the full clip.
