It was apocalypse-indicating enough when The Hills' Heidi Montag tried to establish herself as a legitimate, pink-bikini-wearing, exaggeratedly-hand-gesturing, beach-romping pop starlet, in that so-bad-it's-bad "Higher" music video lensed by Speidi's lesser half, Spencer Pratt. But now Spencer seems no longer content to remain behind the camera, or behind Heidi's shadow...and so he's recorded his own pop single and video, the dubiously titled "I'm A Celebrity":

Ugh! Get me out of here!

Let me tell you, readers...this song makes Heidi's "Higher" sound like the Beatles' "A Day In The Life." I mean, at least Heidi had the common sense and decency to NOT RAP...unlike MC Spencer here, who recently, psychotically told MTV News: "I've always known that I secretly am the hottest rapper in the game. But I didn't feel the urge until Asher Roth started hitting the airwaves and, no offense to Asher Roth--somebody with some real swagger needed to come into the game. So I'll challenge him. I'll

I can scarcely comprehend how Jennifer Hudson has weathered the ups and down of her life over the past couple years. In a very short span of time, she has experienced incredible highs (the release of her successful debut album; her Oscar, Golden Globe, and Grammy victories; her engagement to I Love New York 2 reality-star-turned-pro-wrestler David "Punk" Otunga; performing the national anthem for a televised audience of millions at the Super Bowl; starring in The Secret Life Of Bees alongside A-listers Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, Dakota Fanning, and Sophie Okonedo). And tragically, she's experienced even more unimaginable lows, namely the horrific triple-homicide of her mother, brother, and nephew in October 2008--which caused her to go into seclusion just as her album was coming out, and also motivated her to move away from Chicago, where the murders took place. On top of all that, Jennifer also suffered vocal-cord problems recently, which forced her to postpone some dates on her 2009

Earlier this season, I lamented Daisy De La Hoya's bubbleheaded decision to eliminate Swedish-triplet bachelors '84, '85, and '86--aka Rock, Kelii, and Izzy of the Hollywood hair-metal band Snake Of Eden--on the very first episode of her trainwrecky VH1 Celebreality dating show, Daisy Of Love. The show's been careening steadily downhill ever since the triplets split the scene. But it figures that Daisy didn't want to keep anyone around who was much, much prettier or blonder than herself.

Well, while I eagerly await the inevitable premiere of a new VH1 spinoff show called Snake Of Love (dang, I might even answer the casting call for that one), I am happy to report that Daisy's loss is Lady Gaga's gain. Lady Gaga just made the genius cross-promotional career move of casting all three Snake Of Eden pretty-boy rockers in her amazing and controversial new "Paparazzi" video, which was lensed by another awesome Swede, video genius Jonas Akerlund (the Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up," Madonna's

The hands-down best auditioner on So You Think You Can Dance last night, Nathan Trasoras, was unanimously, fawningly praised by all three judges. Nigel Lythgoe called him a "brilliant dancer" and compared to him past SYTYCD greats like Travis Wall and Danny Tidwell. From the minute he stepped onto that stage, he seemed like a top 20 shoo-in and a clear frontrunner.

But sadly, Nathan Trasoras will not be on So You Think You Can Dance--not this season, anyway. Alas, at 17, Nathan is under the age limit to compete on the show. But with an audition like the one below, I really think Nigel ought to pull some strings and make an exception for Nathan. Age ain't nuthin' but a number when a dancer has talent like this:

Really now, SYTYCD's sister show American Idol lets teenagers compete--this Idol season's best female, Allison Iraheta, was actually only 16, a factoid that the drilling-into-the-ground judges really never let the audience forget (Allison's youth was of kind of her selling
