American Idol 8 contender Joanna Pacitti has come under fire for using the world’s most popular amateur singing competition to boost what many feel is already a well-established career
in showbusiness.
Joanna was once signed to A&M Records. During that time she not only recorded an album, but had songs featured on the soundtracks for movies like Legally Blonde (“Watch Me Shine”), Bratz (“Out From Under”), First Daughter, and Nancy Drew. In fact, “Out From Under” was re-recorded by Britney Spears on her most recent CD, Circus.
The 24-year-old joined the cast of Broadway’s Annie in 1997 at the age of 11. But, she and her family ended up suing producers after Joanna was replaced in the show after she became sick with bronchitis. Her mother filed suit for $50 million, but settled with producers out of court.
She eventually released the 2006 album, This Crazy Life, on Geffen Records
The brunette previously dated Dancing With the Stars professional Mark Ballas, according to his manager.
Is Joanna Pacitti’s experience too broad for her to compete on American Idol fairly?
Amanda Bynes has been on leg fire lately! Sure you expect her to hit the clubs at night in a short skirt showing off her killer legs, but now she is bringing the leg show to shopping trips. If I went to the mall and saw that I wouldn’t mind going more often, but you never see legs like that. You see overweight fifty year old women in Juicy sweats thinking they are 19. It just really makes you upset.
The world’s most famous and loathed celeb blogger Perez Hilton screwed up on his post about Al Gore III (Al Gore’s son). The former Vice President’s son (24) was arrested for driving a blue Toyota Prius on the southbound San Diego Freeway at 100mph and having marijuana, Valium, Xanax, Vicodin and Adderall in the car. But the photo Perez defaced and posted isn’t his mugshot; this is:Al Gore III was released after posting $20,000 bail. “He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs,” Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Armormino said.
Anybody who was anybody made a trip to Washington, D.C. last weekend to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama. That event alone made it okay for everyone in town to celebrate and party the weekend away. Young Jeezy kicked things off with his Presidential Status Inauguration Ball at Club Love in D.C. on January 18th 2009
like Jay-Z, Beyonce, Trey Songz, Nelly and more all showed up to party for Barack! Continue reading for the rest of the photos.
Something tells us that Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has had a good time.
The former Big Brother wannabe shared her tongue with the paps after a night on the razzle.
How very rude.
It seems she just can’t help but flash some sort of pink bit to the world and his dog.
But after an evening of raging it up at an Ann Summer’s party – it seems Aisleyne might have had enough of the free bar.
In fact, as she leaves the event, it looks as if she might need some matchsticks to keep her eyes open as she hauls herself into a taxi and blows a rather sloppy kiss in our general direction.
Still, she clearly had enough sense to grab herself a goodies bag before she paced out.
Go see Aisleyne and other stars looking rather tired and emotional, in our gallery below.
