Miley Cyrus Stoner Birthday Party
[LESS INFO] 8 VIEWS | ADDED 16:08:59 11/29/11
Welcome to ICBW.tv
Miley Cyrus just celebrated her 19th birthday with a huge celebration that was topped off with a Bob Marley themed birthday cake delivered by Kelly Osborne . (I know, weird group of friends)
Miley Cyrus has been seen and now admitted to smoking narcotics, but reps for Miley said that she was joking around and that is not a stoner.
Oh yeah, because most hilarious jokes start with, “you know you’re a stoner when.”
But seriously, who cares that Miley Cyrus likes to smoke weed? Her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus , committed far worse crimes, like wearing a mullet that the 1993 WWF roster would be jealous of, and we let him back into the entertainment world with a creepy mustache and flat-ironed hair.
Some guy named Steve Frye is suing the Playboy Mansion for sex discrimination because he had to pay $1,000 to get into Playboy’s “Leather Meets Lace” party but pretty ladies did not.
Frye is claiming that free admission of pretty ladies “promotes harmful, negative stereotypes.”
And lawsuit promotes other stereotypes, like you're douchebag.
Don’t you think Christmas displays are getting a little out of control when you need to bring in a helicopter to help setup a seven-story high Christmas tree.
Nevermind, that was awesome!
Think you had a bad week...well, you probably did compared to this crazy dancing lady on a treadmill.

Were You Spied On During Black Friday From Outer Space?
More than likely, you participated in the tradition of Black Friday with millions of other shoppers.

You'd be surprised to learn they use the "eye in the sky" and have satellites watching malls all across the country. Check out what the Moxie Mo uncovered during a very successful and busy Black Friday weekend. Who knew technology could be so creepy?
iPad 2 Specs Leak?
We've been talking about the 2nd generation iPad over the past few episodes as rumors continue to swirl about what the iPad 2 will have and when it will arrive. Over this Thanksgiving weekend though, two very legit sources claim that Apple is already producing the iPad 2 and the Moxie Mo has all the specs that you can expect on this next blockbuster device. The big question is - should you get the iPad for Christmas or wait for the iPad 2? We'll talk about it and let you decide!

OKInsiderEpisode59- naughty celebrities- LiLo, Beyonce, JLO and Kanye...
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 14:48:01 01/14/10
Most of us have trouble sticking to our New Year’s resolutions but in fewer than 5 days Lindsay Lohan has managed to break hers. On New Years Eve Lindsay said she wasn’t going to have any more drama in her life, less than a week later she and her best friend Patrick are publicly at each others throats via twitter. Lindsay accusing her ex-bff of stealing her design ideas from her new clothing range and Patrick claiming that her design range doesn’t even exist! And there goes our resolution to not talk about LiLo in 2010!
Beyonce Knowles has caused some bizarre headlines recently, including ‘Beyonce parties with terrorists’- this is due to the performance that Beyonce gave on New Year’s Eve-(for a fee of $1.2million) in St Barts for Moutassim Gaddafi- son of Libyan dictator. He also goes by the nickname Hannibal! Looks like the Beyonce halo, may be looking a little tarnished!
The oscar committee have made some controversial choices over the years but Jennifer Lopez believes that the voters over-looked one exceptional performance recently- hers! The actress says she deserves an Oscar for her role in El cantante- a pet project she made with husband Marc Anthony- Only a few people saw it and even fewer liked it. The San Francisco chronicle called it ‘her least convincing performance to date’.!
Kanye West has been laying low since his embarrassing Taylor Swift invasion- but a new year and there’s a new Kanye-kind of- Kanye has climbed out of his box to predict that in time he will be as revered as icon Nina Simone. He has rambled on about how he is a poet and will show the truth. He says as other rappers get worse- he is getting better- good to know Kanye!
This week’s hero is Elin Nordegren who, aaccording to a tabloid, when asked by friends what her playboy husband Tiger Woods gave her for Christmas, she replied “ Three hundred million dollars, thank you very much”.
Villain of the week Is Tyra Banks, who announced over the New Year that this would be the last season of her Oprah wannabe chat show. Employees are not the saddened bunch you would expect in a recession- instead they are quite relieved, one crew member explained how there was a huge turnover of employees as it was very tough working with Tyra who apparently behaves as a real diva.
Hotshots-
Vince Vaughn marries, we have new Hank baby photos, Jake begs Reese to come back and Britney and Jason may be in trouble.

Welcome to Music Video Reform School. Jackie and Martina managed to survive Christmas, and they are back with some new videos to grade. First up is the latest from Selena Gomez, and then they go back to the 80's with a classic video from KISS.
Selena Gomez:
BIO: (from myspace.com )
Selena Gomez took her sweet time before recording her debut album. After all, she had her hands full starring in her hit Disney Channel series "Wizards of Waverley Place," not to mention appearing in a string of movies and other TV shows. Still, music had been a core passion of hers going back to childhood. A child no more, Selena comes on strong with her Hollywood Records premiere CD, "Kiss & Tell." It is nothing less than the emancipation proclamation of a young artist with a lot to say.
She didn't get there alone. Producer Ted Bruner, along with songwriters Gina Schock , Tim James & Antonina Armato and Selena's band, The Scene, wrap her vocals with fire and ferocity. "Because it is my first record I wanted it to be amazing," Selena says. "I think of this record as a huge learning journey. I wanted to find my sound and see where I wanted to go musically."
On that journey, she clearly found her musical home base. And it rocks. Selena's blazing rock 'n' roll chops may surprise fans, especially on songs like "Kiss & Tell," with its battalion of drums, tight harmonies and Jane's Addiction-like lead guitar work. Says Selena with a laugh, "Basically this is my harsh song, but in a good way."
Selena decided to make the album "passionate, fun and empowering,' as she puts it. Thus, for the most part the 17-year-old singer bypasses the puppy love and goes straight to a righteous "guys are dogs" attitude. Songs like "Falling Down" and "I Don't Miss You At All" simmer with feminine scorn, while the pop gem "I Won't Apologize" (which Selena co-wrote) takes a stand for self-affirmation. "Girls my age tend to change themselves for others," Selena says. "Whether it's a boyfriend or trying to fit in with the 'cool kids,' this song says you're not going to apologize for who you are."
Selena tackles ballads on the wistful "The Way I Loved You" and "I Promise You," the latter a love song steeped in unadorned romance. She shakes off the sentimentality in the sophisticated put-down rocker "Stop and Erase," "I Got U," "Crush" and "As a Blond," perhaps the edgiest song yet from the legally brunette Selena. "Every girl goes through a break-up at some point," she says, "and they never feel good. I wanted to make sure that the songs about heartbreak were all empowering rather than sad. When I perform these songs I don't feel I am dwelling on pain."
She ends the album with a full-circle moment, re-recording "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," an upbeat hip-hop-flavored track she first cut several years ago and now revisits with a more seasoned point of view. "I thought it would be a fun to redo the song and add some cool techno beats," says the ever-adventurous Selena, who today stands at the brink of a thrilling new phase of her career.
Born July 22, 1992 in Dallas, Texas, Selena started acting at age seven when she landed a role in the popular television series "Barney & Friends," on which was a regular for two seasons. There she met her best friend, actress/singer and fellow Hollywood Records recording artist Demi Lovato. Their connection has endured. "I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to go through so much with Demi," says Selena. "We have known each other for so long now that we're more like sisters."
She landed her first feature film role in 2003, when she was cast in the sci-fi action adventure film "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over." Selena went on to lend her voice to "Horton Hears a Who!" in 2008, and made guest appearances on "Hannah Montana" and "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody."
But she made her greatest impact as an actress starring as girl wizard Alex Russo in the hit Disney Channel series "Wizards of Waverly Place," which premiered in 2007. For their work on the show, Selena and her cast mates won a 2009 Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program. "I don't think I'm too much like Alex," Selena says. "She gets into a lot of trouble, and my parents would never let that happen. Overall she's confident and doesn't let anyone negative get in her way, which is a good quality to have."
Her busy schedule in front of the camera did nothing to dampen her musical dreams. Selena recorded three songs for the "Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie" soundtrack, as well as tracks for "101 Dalmatians," "Another Cinderella Story" and "Tinker Bell." But she had broader ambitions. "I have always loved music and write all the time, but to make a career out of it seemed scary," she says. "I focused more on acting at one point, which blessed me with my show and other projects I had the honor of working on. Now I'm putting more into my music."
With a new album, a hit show and more movies on the horizon, it's a wonder Selena has time left for anything else. But she makes time to give something back. She has volunteered for St Jude's Hospital for children, Disney's Friends for Change and she was twice named youth ambassador for UNICEF, a role that recently took her on a fact-finding trip to Africa. It all served to expand her perspective on life. "I am constantly growing and changing," she says, "but I like to think my morals about family and friendships haven't changed."
She's not done dreaming. In the years ahead, Selena plans to push her career to greater heights, while always remembering her fans and the faith they place in her. Summing up her goals, Selena says: "I want to inspire others, help and make an impact." With "Kiss & Tell," she won't have long to wait.

KISS
BIO: (from allmusic.com )
Rooted in the campy theatrics of Alice Cooper and the sleazy hard rock of glam rockers the New York Dolls, Kiss became a favorite of American teenagers in the '70s. Most kids were infatuated with the look of Kiss, not their music. Decked out in outrageously flamboyant costumes and makeup, the band fashioned a captivating stage show featuring dry ice, smoke bombs, elaborate lighting, blood spitting, and fire breathing that captured the imaginations of thousands of kids. But Kiss' music shouldn't be dismissed -- it was a commercially potent mix of anthemic, fist-pounding hard rock driven by sleek hooks and ballads powered by loud guitars, cloying melodies, and sweeping strings. It was a sound that laid the groundwork for both arena rock and the pop-metal that dominated rock in the late '80s. Kiss was the brainchild of Gene Simmons (bass, vocals) and Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar, vocals), former members of the New York-based hard rock band Wicked Lester; the duo brought in drummer Peter Criss through his ad in Rolling Stone and guitarist Ace Frehley responded to an advertisement in The Village Voice. Even at their first Manhattan concert in 1973, the group's approach was quite theatrical; Flipside producer Bill Aucoin offered the band a management deal after the show. Two weeks later, the band was signed to Neil Bogart's fledgling record label, Casablanca. Kiss released their self-titled debut in February of 1974; it peaked at number 87 on the U.S. charts. By April of 1975, the group had released three albums and had toured America constantly, building up a sizable fan base. Culled from those numerous concerts, Alive! (released in the fall of 1975) made the band rock & roll superstars; it climbed into the Top Ten and its accompanying single, "Rock 'N' Roll All Nite," made it to number 12. Their follow-up, Destroyer, was released in March of 1976 and became the group's first platinum album; it also featured their first Top Ten single, Peter Criss' power ballad "Beth."
A 1977 Gallup poll named Kiss the most popular band in America. Kiss mania was in full swing and thousands of pieces of merchandise hit the marketplace. The group had two comic books released by Marvel, pinball machines, makeup and masks, board games, and a live-action TV movie, Kiss Meet the Phantom of the Park. The group was never seen in public without wearing their makeup and their popularity was growing by leaps and bounds; the membership of the Kiss Army, the band's fan club, was now in the six figures. Even such enormous popularity had its limits, and the band reached them in 1978, when all four members released solo albums on the same day in October. Simmons' record was the most successful, reaching number 22 on the charts, yet all of them made it into the Top 50. Dynasty, released in 1979, continued their streak of platinum albums, yet it was their last recorded with the original lineup -- Criss left in 1980. Kiss Unmasked, released in the summer of 1980, was recorded with session drummer Anton Fig; Criss' permanent replacement, Eric Carr, joined the band in time for their 1980 world tour. Kiss Unmasked was their first record since Destroyer to fail to go platinum, and 1981's Music from the Elder, their first album recorded with Carr, didn't even go gold -- it couldn't even climb past number 75 on the charts. Ace Frehley left the band after its release; he was replaced by Vinnie Vincent in 1982. Vincent's first album with the group, 1982's Creatures of the Night, fared better than Music from the Elder, yet it couldn't make it past number 45 on the charts. Sensing it was time for a change, Kiss dispensed with their makeup for 1983's Lick It Up. The publicity worked, as the album became their first platinum record in four years. Animalize, released the following year, was just as successful, and the group had recaptured their niche. Vincent left after Animalize and was replaced by Mark St. John; St. John was soon taken ill with Reiter's Syndrome and left the band. Bruce Kulick became Kiss' new lead guitarist in 1984. For the rest of the decade, Kiss turned out a series of best-selling albums, culminating in the early 1990 hit ballad "Forever," which was their biggest single since "Beth."
Kiss was scheduled to record a new album with their old producer, Bob Ezrin, in 1990 when Eric Carr became severely ill with cancer; he died in November of 1991 at the age of 41. Kiss replaced him with Eric Singer and recorded Revenge (1992), their first album since 1989; it was a Top Ten hit and went gold. Kiss followed it with the release of Alive III the following year; it performed respectably, but was not up to the standards of their two previous live records. In 1996, the original lineup of Kiss -- featuring Simmons, Stanley, Frehley, and Criss -- reunited to perform an international tour, complete with their notorious makeup and special effects. The tour was one of the most successful of 1996, and in 1998 the reunited group issued Psycho Circus. While the ensuing tour in support of Psycho Circus was a success, sales of Kiss' reunion album weren't as stellar as anticipated. Reminiscent of the band's late-'70s unfocused period, few tracks on Psycho Circus featured all four members playing together (most tracks were supplemented with session musicians), as the band seemed more interested in flooding the marketplace with merchandise yet again instead of making the music their top priority. With rumors running rampant that the Psycho Circus Tour would be their last, the quartet announced in the spring of 2000 that they would be launching a U.S. farewell tour in the summer, which became one of the year's top concert draws. But on the eve of a Japanese and Australian tour in early 2001, Peter Criss suddenly left the band once again, supposedly discontent with his salary. Taking his place was previous Kiss drummer Eric Singer, who in a controversial move among some longtime fans, donned Criss' cat-man makeup (since Simmons and Stanley own both Frehley and Criss' makeup designs, there was no threat of a lawsuit) as the farewell tour continued. With the band scheduled to call it a day supposedly by late 2001, a mammoth career-encompassing box set was set for later in the year, while the summer saw perhaps the most over-the-top piece of Kiss merchandise yet -- the "Kiss Kasket."
The group was relatively quiet through the rest of the year, but 2002 started with a bang as Gene Simmons turned in an entertaining and controversial interview on NPR where he criticized the organization and berated host Terry Gross with sexual comments and condescending answers. He was promoting his autobiography at the time, which also caused dissent in the Kiss camp because of the inflammatory remarks made towards Ace Frehley. Frehley was quite angry at the situation, leading to his no-showing of an American Bandstand anniversary show. His place was taken by a wig-wearing Tommy Thayer, but no one was fooled and the band looked especially awful while pretending to play their instruments during the pre-recorded track. The appearance was an embarrassment for the group and for their fans, but Simmons was quick to dismiss the performance as another in a long series of money-oriented decisions. The band kept touring the globe with no new album in stores, but in 2008 they returned to the studio, re-recorded their hits, and released Jigoku-Retsuden aka KISSology or Kiss Klassics. The release was exclusive to Japan until a year later when it became a bonus disc for the band's first studio album in 11 years, Sonic Boom. Produced by Paul Stanley and Greg Collins, the album was exclusively distributed in North America by the Wal-Mart chain of stores.

OKInsiderEpisode55 - Pussy cat Dolls go stray, Adam Lambert's kiss, Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhart househunt and Lady Gaga's fanalicious gesture.
[LESS INFO] 9 VIEWS | ADDED 11:26:41 12/02/09
Their management say they have definitely not split and are denying rumors that the band are not talking to Nicole Scherzinger , but the Pussy cat Dolls themselves don’t seem to be supporting this, first Kimberly told the world she hadn’t spoken to Nicole in months, and when the girls got together for Melody’ s birthday, Nicole was a no-show.
Paris Hilton and her BF Doug Reinhart have finally got the message. Neighbors have been complaining for months about their huge rows and all night partying, they even got a petition together to get them evicted. The couple however are now house-hunting, so they could be coming to a neighborhood near you!
The Adam Lambert controversy has gone into over-drive, and now has exploded in Chris Brown’ s face. Viewers have written in complaining about the singer snogging a male musician live on stage, there was such an outcry that the singers appearance on Good Morning America was cancelled for the next day. The show has however booked Chris Brown for next week… does that mean gay snogging is less acceptable than listening to a man convicted of assault…?
Amy Winehouse is clearly excited about Christmas, so excited in fact that the singer spent £18,000 in a single shopping trip, buying Christmas decorations, including musical fairy lights and a moving reindeer.
This weeks hero is generous Lady Gaga , who after hearing that her fans had been waiting up all night for a album signing in LA, ordered 80 pizzas to be delivered to the delighted fans.
Villain of the week is Britney Spear ’s former paparazzi boyfriend Adnan Ghalib who has been sentenced to 45 days in jail for trying to knock over a process-server in his car.
Hotshots:
The Jolie-Pitt family dig deep for charity, Susan Boyle conquers America, and the Beckham’ s oldest son teaches mum and dad over his grades.

It Could Be Worse...Sarah Palin

It Could Be Worse...Sarah Palin
Former Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin , has been hitting the interview trail promoting her new book, Going Rogue. One roadblock along the way was this cover of Newsweek. The magazine took a photograph that was used in another magazine called Runner's World.
The most intriguing part of this controversy is that, Palin hasn't complained about the article titled "How do you solve a problem like Sarah Palin." But just about the picture. And Sarah, you look hot, so chill out. I mean have you ever looked at an issue of the National Inquirer? Famous people would kill to have a picture like this. And Newsweek, you need to knock it off too, because of this we may never get another hot chick run for political office ever again. You are officially, that creep guy, who chases all the girls away. And I know Sarah, you want to be taken seriously and since that probably will never happen. Lets do the next logical thing, show bad pictures of everyone else...ready, go
It Could Be Worse, Sarah Palin, you could be Nicolas Cage . This A-Lister has reportedly squandered his fortune with purchases ranging from 22 cars, over 15 homes worldwide, 4 yachts and 2 castles. Hey asshole, even egyptian kings would only build themselves 1 pyramid, why do you have two castles.
Sarah, you could be Oprah Winfrey who announced that she will be ending her national syndicated show in 2011. This is surprising to me, because at this point in her career she basically just has to show up, give away free shit at christmas, talk to a celebrities about rehab, and repeat.
University of Kansas Football Head Coach, Mark Mangino , is being investigated for unspecified personnel reason allegedly having an altercation with one of his players. Mangino has a bad track record when it comes to violet outbursts and attacking buffets, worse of all he can't even go back to the Chocolate Factory.
It could be worse, Sarah Palin, you could be former Miss California Carrie Prejean . Who pretending that she couldn't hear things on her interview with Larry King. La,La,La, I can't hear you Larry, oh wait, I just responded to your question...Silent Game
And finally tonight, I want to end with a segment called I don't get it. Like I don't get this game on Facebook called Farmville , so you pretend to farm, farmers don't like to farm, so why would I want to pretend to do so. Might as well create a game called work, in which I sit in an office all day filling out spread sheets. I don't get space missions , what have they ever accomplished besides beating the Russians to the moons in the 60s. Even Sgt. Slaughter moved on. And this show on Fox called Glee , so they take good songs and have a high school singing group cover them, sounds like torture.
But Sarah, It Could Be Worse...you could be this driver who crashed this car that was worth $1.6 million.

Microsoft CEO Must Testify in Vista Capable Debacle
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, has been mandated by a federal judge to testify in a class action lawsuit over the "Vista Capable" fiasco. US District Judge Marsha Pechman gave consumers approval in February to file a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for giving false information about Windows XP computers being able to run Vista. Plaintiffs in the case allege that Microsoft artificially inflated demand in the run-up to Christmas 2006, by advertising that PCs would be capable of running the full version of the firm's delayed Vista operating system.
