<blockquote>TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson has died after being hospitalized at UCLA Medical Center. He was taken to the hospital supposedly suffering from cardiac arrest and unconscious.</p>
<p>E! News spoke to Joe Jackson (father of Michael) and said, “He had a heart attack. He is not OK.” Nothing else is known about the situation other than that Jackson was not breathing when someone found him and called 911. Paramedics continued to administer CPR in the ambulance en route to UCLA.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Carrie Prejean, who was crowned as Miss California less than two months ago, loses her crown today for continued issues with contract violations. Ms. Prejean originally came under fire for her insensitivity and her harsh views on Gay marriage that she expressed during the California pageant. She continued to be scrutinized at a later date for some racy photos that came to light that many people considered being a direct violation of her contract. Luckily for her, Donald Trump came to her rescue and allowed her to keep her crown and actually gave her praise for her “honesty” and deemed that the pictures were “OK”.<br /><a href="http://cugop.org/2009/06/miss-california-loses-crown/">Miss California Fired<br /></a></p>

Mr. Jason Mesnick, the single father who was the Bachelor all season of 2008-2009 finally picked the &#8220;love of his life&#8221; tonight. Actually, he did so twice picking Melissa Rycroft, a former Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader, originally then changes his mind and goes with Molly Malaney, a girl I actually went to College with at Indiana University.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to be a Mesnick!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Melissa said before she, Jason, and his son Ty executed a carefree jump into a pool in formal wear. Well that was short lived as this show hit another all time low flip flopping from one girl to another. What is this world coming to? What are your thoughts on the drama that was who won the bachelor 2009?</p>

<p>What is the deal with <a href="http://www.twirlit.com/2009/02/18/american-idol-2009-rules/">American Idol&#8217;s 2009 elimination rules</a>? Now they are only letting the top female, top male and next highest vote getter advance to the next round. This seems a bit extreme. I mean why put so many people through the rounds if the show is going going to cut the all so quickly.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span>As opposed to the past two seasons, this year there will be no “Idol Gives Back” episode, but instead producers have brought back the fan favorite <a href="http://www.twirlit.com/2009/02/18/american-idol-2009-rules/">Wild Card Round</a>, with the Top 12 finalists decided by March 10th. I understand the effort to try to change things up and keep the show current, but when American Idol loses talented singers in the process it sort of defeats the purpose.</p>

Both Brown and Rihanna pulled out of the Grammy&#8217;s at the last minute because of these events. More news will be posted when more is known about the situation.</p>
<p>Giving someone herpes is really bad and aboslutely does NOT justify Chris Brown striking Rihanna, however, I can understand his frustration. What are your thoughts about it?</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the lineup for 2009&#8217;s Grammy Award performers.</p>
<p><strong>Lil Wayne</strong>- The biggest Lillest name at this year&#8217;s Grammy&#8217;s is none other than Lil Wayne. Leading all contenders with 8 nominations, Wayne&#8217;s looking to win his first Grammy ever. He&#8217;ll also be joining the biggest names in hip-hop by performing with TI, Kanye West and Jay Z in the smash hit Swagger Like Us. In his 2nd performance he will pay tribute to his hometown of New Orleans through his song &#8220;Tie My Hands,&#8221; reflecting on the tragedies surrounding Hurricane Katrina.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19122" title="krtphotoslive094876-enter-radiohead" src="http://static.manolith.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/krtphotoslive094876-enter-radiohead.jpg" alt="krtphotoslive094876-enter-radiohead" width="300" height="200" /></span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Radiohead &#8211; </strong>Tagged as one of the most anticipated performances of the night, Radiohead will be performing their hit &#8220;House of Cards.&#8221; This will be Radiohead&#8217;s first live performance in the United States since 2000.</p>
<p><span id="more-239"></span></p>
<p><strong>Kid Rock</strong> &#8211; Nominated for two Grammy awards, this former hip-hop DJ is looking to bring some old fashioned rock and roll for his hometown of Detroit, MI. Having never won a Grammy award, Kid Rock is more than due to grab his first ever golden phonograph.</p>
<p><strong>Robert Plant and Alison Krauss</strong> &#8211; The Led Zeppelin front man is teaming up with <del datetime="2009-02-08T01:00:24+00:00">British</del> singing sensation Alison Krauss for a rock and roll performance. Could be hit or miss, but with a rock legendary performer like Plant, you should expect a good show.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19123" title="upiphotos871118-coldplay-vida-la-vi" src="http://static.manolith.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/upiphotos871118-coldplay-vida-la-vi.jpg" alt="upiphotos871118-coldplay-vida-la-vi" width="300" height="200" /></span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Coldplay </strong>- The British invasion is led by Chris Martin and his crumpet eating pals.  After X &amp; Y was lambasted by critics, the group returned to form with their latest single &#8220;Viva La Vida.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Paul McCartney</strong> &#8211; The former Beatles front man returns this year to perform a song from his critically acclaimed CD Electric Arguments.  From all that he&#8217;s been through with divorces and that Steven Colbert interview, it&#8217;ll be interesting to see what he brings to the stage.</p>
<p><strong>Katy Perry </strong>- Her father is a minister, but that didn&#8217;t stop this teen heart throb from singing about kissing a girl and liking it.  Should be a great performance of a song we&#8217;ve all heard thousands of times.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19124" title="dpaphotos055820-tv-show-bet-that" src="http://static.manolith.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dpaphotos055820-tv-show-bet-that.jpg" alt="dpaphotos055820-tv-show-bet-that" width="300" height="200" /></span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Justin Timberlake</strong> &#8211; What is a Grammy&#8217;s show without the presence of the perennial fan favorite and annoyingly pervasive JT. He is rumored to be doing a duet with Britney Spears. Actually, that&#8217;s not true.  But it would be interesting to see.</p>
<p><strong>The Jonas Brothers</strong> &#8211; Nominated for best new artist, teenage girls everwhere are going crazy. These male versions of Miley Cyrus are anticipated to keep the kids up late on Sunday night.</p>
<p><strong>Jennifer Hudson</strong> &#8211; Oscar-Award winner and former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson will be performing her debut single &#8220;Spotlight.&#8221; Jennifer Hudson is slowly making her way back to the &#8220;Spotlight&#8221;, after suffering from her own family tragedy that left her brother, mother and newphew dead.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Kanye West </strong>- The Grammy aficianado and 10-time Grammy winner Kanye West will be making his presence felt in his two perfomances. The first will be with his hip-hop brethren, in TI&#8217;s smash hit &#8220;Swagger Like Us.&#8221; While the second is with British sensation Estelle, rapping over her crossover single &#8220;American Boy.&#8221;<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Rihanna </strong>- Up for three awards, this R&amp;B songstress will most likely be performing her smash lead single Disturbia. At last year&#8217;s grammy&#8217;s she ripped the stage with her perfomances of &#8220;Please don&#8217;t stop the music&#8221; and the unforgettable &#8220;Umbrella.&#8221;<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Jay-Z </strong>- With six grammy nomintations, the self-proclaimed &#8220;Michael Jordan&#8221; of rap, Jay Z looks to add his Brooklyn swag to TI&#8217;s &#8220;Swagger Like Us&#8221; performance. Jigga always has something up his sleeve, so don&#8217;t be surprised if he comes out with his wifey Beyonce.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>T.I.</strong> &#8211; Hip-hop&#8217;s ultimate gangsta, TIP is looking to make the best of his Grammy performance; knowing that in only a few months he will be carrying out a 366-day sentence in a Georgia State prison. TI will hit the stage with his hip-hop buddies performing the ultra swag anthem &#8220;Swagger Like Us&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dancing with the Stars announced its 2009 cast throughout Sunday night instead of announcing it on “Good Morning America.” The cast includes an interesting list of celebrity entertainers. The strategic announcement is an attempt by ABC to thwart the Grammys on CBS, though I’ll be surprised if it takes away any sizeable audience from the Grammys.</p>
<p><strong>The Cast: </strong>Jewel, Lil’ Kim, Shawn Johnson, Steve “The Woz” Wozniak, NFL star Lawrence Taylor, Steve-O, Belinda Carlisle, Nancy O’Dell, Denise Richards, country singer Chuck Wicks, cowboy Ty Murray, comedian David Alan Grier and actor Gilles Marini.</p>
<p>Who do you think will do well this season?<br />
Who are some of your early favorites?</p>
