Britney Then vs Miley Now

Miley Cyrus has been one of the most controversial characters of the pop cultural scene of 2013. I am sorry to say that I may have been a bit harsh on her, but I didn't (and still don't) like what she is doing.

Some have also seen parallels with Britney Spears, in the past that is. Britney was also quite a controversial character in some circles some time back, much of it having to do with her fashion style. Back then, I was quite vocal about just letting people do what they want, letting them have fun, etc. So how is Miley different for me now?

Well, there's a world of difference here for me. Britney was disliked by some for her appearance, and that was it. Miley, on the other hand, has been doing some really off-putting things, and is showing no signs of stopping. Britney was about having fun, no matter if you liked her appearance or not. But Miley - that's certainly not fun, whatever she is doing.

Kelly Clarkson's Big Family Christmas

Kelly Clarkson has said that she wants to spend her first Christmas as a married woman with her family on both sides, in a big family event.

"We're starting a family tradition, and I'm excited about it," she said.

That's the spirit of marriage and family, isn't it?

If you haven't fully embraced this spirit yet, I suggest you do so. It's so rewarding!

By the way, if you don't currently believe in marriage and family, think again. If you do, think of the ridiculousness of denying marriage in a legal way to gay couples, and think if that is fair at all. That is all.

Let's Help Kelly Clarkson Feel Better

It has been reported that Kelly Clarkson is suffering from severe morning sickness due to her pregnancy. It's been said that she is vomiting up to a dozen times per day.

It must be so difficult for her.

I guess we can all post our sympathy and well wishes for her everywhere on the internet. She will at least get some of it, I think. It would really help, I believe.

Zoe Saldana Keeping her Marriage and Private Life Away from Spotlight

Since her marriage this Northern summer, Zoe Saldana has not been very willing to discuss the details of her married life with her husband. Now she has explained it all to Ocean Drive magazine.

"I realized throughout the years of being in this business that the only way to maintain some kind of sanity is to protect that which is most dear to you, which is your life and everyone that's in it," she said.

I agree fully. And it's not just those as followed as Zoe that can take this on board. I personally do not discuss my personal life either. There are many more interesting things out there to discuss anyway. Everybody needs a bit of privacy, I think.

To Britney's Sons, She's Just Mommy

Britney may have been quite a major cultural icon for the past two decades for most of us, but apparently her sons may not see it that way.

"I think they are kind of blinded by it. I don't think they really comprehend. They just think of mommy as mommy," Britney told MTV recently.

And I think it's just natural. I mean, for a kid it's weird enough for your mom to be in the news all the time, isn't it?

It just remind us that even mega-sized cultural icons are just people with lives and families.

Lorde on 'Haters'

Some people just throw around the word 'hater' too much. It appears that Lorde has something to say about it.

"I think there's a funny culture in music that's only happened over the last 15 years, that if you have an opinion about something in music that isn't 100-percent good, you're a 'hater,' even if you have perfectly reasonable grounds for that critique," she said.

I agree. I would even go further to say that 'hater' has become a term to silence people. There's nothing wrong with hating crappy music that talks about greed, sex and drugs all the time, for example.

Chaz Bono Loses 85 Pounds, Gets Money from Mom

Cher's son Chaz Bono has lost 85 pounds, it has been reported. I had a look at the pictures - he looks like a much fitter man, I think.

It has also been reported that his mother gave him money along the way to encourage him.

I wish my mother would do that!
