Ever wondered why celeb faux pas are the most talked about news pieces? Because they have juice. A taste of rebelliousness. A taste of abnormality. People love everything that takes a path away from normal. The moral police, though, stand up and raise their hands in protest. This is what happened this year in the American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on the 22nd of this month. This Sunday night brought those moments which are still being talked about and being googled and youtubed and twittered, and of course blogged. Let us visit those moments too in this blog!

Faux Pas one is the fall. Jennifer Lopez while performing on stage had an almost terrible accident. Louboutins, the Pop diva’s new single, was being performed with a number of dancers and acts. During one of these acts, J-Lo lost her balance after jumping from the top of the human-stairs. That must been embarrasing huh?! But she didn’t show it. She went on performing the routine after that. Later, while talking to the press, she said “that was part of the choreography”. Really? That is difficult to believe!
This piece of news has got the maximum “view count” on youtube. More than 750,000 have viewed her 13 second fall video on youtube. Also, there are many blogs that have given a link to the whole act and it was disabled because of copyright claims by Dick Clark Productions, the AMA producers.

The second faux pas has pulled more than 6,500 results from googlenews. Type ‘Adam Lambert’ in a few days from today and he might just cross the 7 figure search result that google gives in his name. Because, this “happily gay guy” believes in the “freedom of expression and artistic integrity”. His new single, “For Your Entertainment” says so and so does he in his performance at the AMA. His performance included quite some vulgar moments that might have been “funny” for the nondescripts, “artistic freedom and expression” for Lambert and his fans, but “indecent or profane material” for the Federal Communications Commission. Reuters reported that ABC television received over 1,500 complaints for this “sexually-charged performance”. Michael Slezak from the Entertainment Weekly well describes this performance as “a carefully planned stab at dominating the post-AMA blogosphere/water-cooler discussion.”
In conclusion to this faux pas, a question might arise, did Lambert wow the people or did he initiate a tow for himself? That will depend on FCC, if they really will fine the channel and him or not.

Our last faux pas for AMA, 2009, is a now normal one. ‘Now normal’, because it seems like in every awards show there is always one or some of the celebs that go the “malfunction” way with her or their wardrobe. But, surprisingly, it is always an eyebrow raiser. This time, this crime was committed by Kate Hudson. Her plunging neckline was more than just plunging, more like winging actually! When she came on stage to announce the Black Eyed Peas performance next, with Nicole Kidman, her silver “glitzy” dress made heads turn and mobile phones active.
It is high time that Kate Hudson and all wardrobe malfunctioners to understand that these ceremonies might not be the best place for skin shows.

Faux pas over. But is that all?
Is it not that award ceremonies are about awards and winners and great performances? Why then do these social blunders get so much footage?
The reality is that they get footage. People watch them. Read them and talk about them. And later forget about them! That’s it.

It was an embarrassing moment for the once labeled Queen of Pop, Whitney Houston. She faced a wardrobe malfunctioning on Sunday night’s X-Factor.

This was a clean comeback for Houston from drug abuse and her troubled marriage with singer Bobby Brown. But she was soon faced with another harsh setback raving much controversy. The pop crooner appeared on Oprah Winfrey show’s premiere season, which seemed to be a dramatic comeback for her. Houston then attended Sunday night’s X-Factor, which is a British reality music talent show, where she faced an awkward wardrobe malfunctioning.

Houston’s dress strap tore in the back while she performed her new single, “Million Dollar Bill”, on stage. Just before the mis-hap, the singer seemed in a little discomfort in long sparkly silver dress, which poorly fitted in the back. Thankfully Houston was luckier than Janet Jackson, and her wardrobe malfunctioning did not reveal anything. While in Jackson’s case it was as embarrassing as a nip-slip.

Whitney Houston managed the mis-hap well and continued with her performance. At a post performance interview the singer was quoted as saying, “I sang myself out of my clothes”.

The singer seemed very confused and did not have answers prepared to most of the questions aimed at her. Houston was almost out of breath and couldn’t give answers to simple questions related to her tour and album. The 46 year old singer seemed to have lost her temper due to the wardrobe malfunctioning while she performed her new single “Million Dollar Bill”.

We don’t yet have any confirmed news of whether Levi Johnston is going to show his front of backside naked for his upcoming photo shoot with Playgirl magazine. But we are certain that the 19 year old, father of one, does not want to take any chance. Johnston is currently busy working out to look good from all sides for his upcoming Playgirl spread just in case he has to pose from all sides. The star has hired a personal trainer with whom he is working out hard 6 days a week for the past three weeks.

Johnston agreed to do a photo shoot with Playgirl about a month back. His representative have not given any information on how much the star will charge for this photo shoot, which will happen soon sometime this month.

“Team Levi is in the process of preparing for his Playgirl appearance. He is in the gym six days a week for the next three weeks”, confirmed Johnston’s lawyer, Rex Butler. Johnston, who rose to fame after making Palin’s teen daughter, Bristol, pregnant last year, is all set to bare his clothes for the upcoming issue of Playgirl. The parents of the the 9 month old, Tripp, are now separated.

In a recent issue of GQ magazine Johnston appeared shirtless with his daughter Tripp, besides appearing in a witty TV commercial for a peanut company. Johnston acted as an escort to comedian Kathy Griffin in the Teen Choice Awards held in August.

Although Johnston is following actor Burt Reynolds’ footsteps for the photo shoot, it has not yet been revealed whether he too would pose on a bearskin rug wearing a broad smile, like the actor.

Beyonce Knowles will be performing in Malaysia sometime very soon. Beyonce is determined to appear for a show to be hosted in Malaysia in October. Two years back one of her shows was called off after there were much protests threatening to disrupt the concert because of her sexy image and clothing.

Malaysia is a conservative country where a large part of the population are Muslim.  According to the rules and regulation followed by the country, every female performer will have to cover up from the shoulders to knees with no cleavage showing. There are much speculation already fueling the fire as how the  R&B superstar will present herself on the stage.

The musical show will take place at a stadium in the biggest city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, on 25th October. Beyonce wrote on her website, “Beyonce for the first time ever has decided to make Malaysia part of her I am World Tour”.

Beyonce was scheduled for a concert in Malaysia two years ago, which she has to cancel following protest threats by Malaysia’s opposition Islamic party. The R&B superstar has to head for Indonesia instead. Her publicist has said that Indonesia is less strict when it comes to attire and behavior of a performer.

The youth vice head of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, Sabki Yusof,have been quoted as saying that it was the government’s “responsibility to protect the people of Malaysia” from what he described as immoral Western influences. He would soon be forwarding a  protest note to the government, he mentioned.

Sabki also added, “We are not against entertainment as long as it is within the framework of our culture and our religion. We are against Western sexy performances. We don’t think our people need that”.

Earlier celebrated singers like Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani have performed in Malaysia under similar protest threats by conservative Muslims.

Kim Kardashian got an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction scare at the Emmy Awards this year. She buzzed on twitter while freaking out about the zip popping out.

“”FASHION EMERGENCY! My zipper on my gown just all popped & broke on my way 2 Emmy’s! My stylist is meeting me there but I’m FREAKING OUT!!!” tweeted Kim in panic. But the situation was soon rescued by brave soldiers of the fashion world with threads and needles. The tailor present in the green room saved the dress from totally tearing away.

Kim then tweets – “… Ok tailor & stylist on site! They will have to sew my dress on me! DEEP BREATH! … Almost done sewing. …”. And then she appeared in the ivory white one shoulder asymmetrical outfit which looked totally like she was born in it. Hail the wonders of the sew and tuck!

Dress malfunction are not new news, but the way these incidents are occurring, it is alarming. Good that these events have a tailor on the venue.

Anyways, moving on with the Kim-Watch, she didn’t give any interviews on the red carpet! Now is that weird or what? The girl who features in hollywood gossip now and then. Got somethin’ to hide, missy?

Anyways, maybe she doesn’t want to answer another question about her sister Khloe who is going to take her wedding vows soon.

Her other sister, Kourtney Kardashian was around though. With Kim on the red carpet she looked divine in a steel-grey flowing gown from BCBG which accentuated her seven-month pregnant body. She did give a little interview to E! saying “It’s challenging but I still try to be fashionable.” Damn right, she does look beautiful with her hair down and pretty eyes.

The new anti-fur, anti-leather advertisement of Pamela Anderson, which has been shot for an animal rights group has been banned recently and tagged as “too racy”. The ad shows Anderson in scantily clad dress posing like a aircraft security guard. The commercial was conceived by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and was mainly shot to be shown at the three airports of New York city. The airport authority chiefs although called the ad to be “too sexy” and banned its screening at the airport.

The airport authority was concerned about the reaction of the passengers and feared the ad might as well offend some of the passengers traveling with young children. The commercial was put on hold, which was supposed to debut on Thursday. A representative for CNN Airport Network have written a letter to PETA stating the reason behind the ban of the ad as, “particularly sensitive because children make up part of the demographic in airports”.

PETA has although waved off the opposition and have decided to show the ad on in-flight entertainment. Dan Mathews, the Senior Vice President of PETA, has said, “We’re now looking to place the spot among in-flight entertainment and hope that more adventurous carriers such as Virgin take us up on it”.

The airport bosses feel there will be mixed reaction from on board passengers. The young men would undoubtedly love to see Pammy in skimpy clad clothes, but for the rest, it could just be too blue.

Bar Refaeli, the Israeli model, showed off her shaped body in a new swim wear ad. The hot beauty, flashing in ‘Little Black Bikini‘ will surely set your pulses racing.

“Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with finding the perfect little black bikini, [and] always searching for a timeless, sexy suit with the best fit”, said the 23 year old model from Israel.

The Hurley Little Black Bikini will be available for purchase in the Internet from May 1st. A limited stock will be made available for buying at a price of $120. A portion of the sale will be donated to Boarding for Breast Cancer. This organization is a youth-focused charity that aims to spread the halt of the disease thanks to early detection and an active lifestyle.

Lindsay Lohan is after all not totally broken as it had seemed earlier after she had a break-up with her DJ gal pal Samantha Ronson. Lohan seems to have been spending some pricey days in the sun post break-up.

Lohan along with her sister Ali and a few of her gal friends was spotted spending a weekend in Hawaii. Lohan was photographed getting soaked under the sun in a teeny bikini at a public park.    The young actress, who was quoted complaining about not being offered a proper role, was spotted spending thousands of dollars on designer bags during a shopping spree.

In an interview with the E! News late last month Lindsay said, “If people would just leave my personal life alone – because it’s really not that interesting – then I could land a great role, but all the sicko fans and the noise is so distracting“. She also admitted that she was nervous while she was paying her mortgage.

Recently the star has been in constant news following her split with Samantha Ronson. “I really care about Samantha and we’ll see what happens. Maybe when we’re fully in the right place …I love her“, Lohan said. Before coming for  a vacation Lohan changed her Facebook relationship status to “It’s Complicated”.

We understand your pain girl!

Susan Boyle, the most talked about celebrity on Internet, who rose to fame with her spellbinding performance in “Britain’s Got Talent”, finally goes through a makeover. She looked worn like a large beige round piece of linen placed under a dish or bowl when she debuted in the show on television. People laughed at her when she appeared on the stage to perform. But the golden-voiced Susan Boyle simply enthralled all sitting in the audience as well as the judges. And now she has emerged anew dressed in a bright colored printed dress covered by a leather finish jacket and high heels.

While this 48 year old singer has been quoted as saying that changing the way she looks simply seems out of question, Boyle has been quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying, “I need to sort out my dress sense“.

In fact, many Susan fans too believe in the same. In a poll conducted by People Magazine on whether or not Boyle needs to change her look a straight 52 percent people said yes, while the remaining 48 percent apparently like Susan the way she is. So does the “Britain’s Got Talent” judge Amanda Holden.

Holden has also told in an interview that, “People want the average woman who shows you dreams are still possible and that hopes will still happen for you“. she also added, “If we made her with big toothy grin or bouffant-y hair, it would kill who she is standing for. Whether she knows it or not, she is standing for the average person in the street. I am sure she will comb her hair and have a bit of [lipstick] on. But she won’t be going under the knife or anything like that!“

Valerie Bertinelli shows of her toned body in a green bikini and steals away the heart of millions. It has been reported by a close source that the star couldn’t sleep for the first time in nearly 30 years after she decided to step out in public bikini clad.

“I thought, Am I really going to do this? Can I pull this off?”, Bertinelli, the star whose mind was hastened to insecurity, said. “What am I so afraid of? Come on – it’s just a bathing suit!”, she added while starting to rouse a zippy talk about her.

Bertinelli will be celebrating her 49th birthday on April 23th, had been bold enough to show off those strips of  Lycra. From  172 lbs. Bertinelli has shed down to 132 lbs. in about 9 months. Bertinelli has last worn a bikini when she was at the tender age of 20. “I thought, If I’m so afraid of a bikini, there’s something wrong. And so I had to get back into one!”, she was quoted saying in an interview on Friday.

She began by walking 10,000 steps a day followed by rigorous exercise and a strict diet regime. After trying out this routine for few months on her own she finally hired a personal trainer in December. To get those perfect curves and shed the extra kilos for a stark bikini shape he trimmed her daily caloric intake from 1,700 to around 1,200.

“I never, ever, ever had deltoids!Oh my God, when I’m doing exercises and I see them pop out, I’m like, Yes!”,  Bertinelli said.
