New discoveries made in the Antarctic now force specialists to revise their previous models of how much ice melts and by how much the water levels worldwide will increase because of it.

Don't you just love strip joints?

Amy Winehouse turned on fans at her concert last night after they started booing her.

Britney Spears is a well-known narcissist, and obviously imagines that her presence is enough to spice up any party in this world. However, Brit obviously doesn't read the newspapers and magazines and doesn't surf the Internet either - which is a big mistake, because it can lead to some disaster like the on... |

It's official: Kanye West is worse than Avril Lavigne when it comes to whining and bitching around. I mean, yes, we all know his ego is the size of China and having five nominations and not getting a single Moonman was a serious punch in the gut. But really, we're all getting kind of tired of his kindergart... |

A couple of days ago, I was more than happy to report that rumor had it that Britney Spears was shooting for a new video and I imagine I wasn't the only one. Sure, I'm not a fan of her music per se, but still, it was good to see her attempting to make a comeback on the music scene. After all, all those peop... |

For two weeks or so, we've been hearing nothing but rumors about Britney Spears' imminent meltdown and a revelation that was about to change our image of the former Princess of Pop for eternity.

Britney Spears' photo shoot and interview with 'OK!'

All this is may cause a dj vu for us. In fact, no 'may' is involved, because I for one certainly have the impression that we've been through this with Britney before, less than a year ago.

Britney Spears could actually be the most mediated celebrity ever. Like, in the entire history of mankind! And, seeing that she's doing nothing in particular to get all that media exposure, it's quite an amazing thing, you know!

Mercury Meltdown did wonders for the PS2 and PSP, so a motion sensitive control scheme for the title is only the logical approach for developers. The object of the game is to guide the flowing mercury to one or more finish posts in the level. As the blobs of mercury have different colors, different destinations are a... |

Let's make this short: Britney Spears is out of rehab and apparently on her way back to where she was before, whatever that may be.
