Welcome to the beginning of what I hope will become a regular feature. It’s called Soap It Up! It’s our take on entertainment and celebrity news, except in our case we plan on making a sarcastic remark about each item. Original? Probably not, we take our inspiration for this article from a former British television news program called “Liquid News”.


“Liquid News” was a BBC program and it featured a round-up of celebrity news, only to go ahead and make fun of the celebrities instead. It was a hit for BBC Three but sadly it’s host, Christopher Price died and with it the show never really covered.


Hopefully, this little article can try and carry on that spirit.


Besides Conan vs. The Chin there are other things happening in the world of celebrities.


Simon Cowell announced he’ll be leaving American Idol and producing an American version of his UK hit “The X-Factor” for FOX. Have you actually read the format of The X-Factor? It sounds a like American Idol in concept, only just a little more boring. Contestants have to compete in different groups, there’s really a lot more of the behind-the-scenes stuff such as being mentored – which isn’t a bad thing I suppose. Oh wait, Simon Cowell is your mentor.


I’m being too harsh, he’s brought lots of cash to lots of stars all over the globe. Here’s hoping America is ready for a really, really, really indepth version of American Idol. And, guess who’s hosting?! It ain’t Ryan Seacrest! So there’s some big ups right there.




TV dad turned pariah, Jon Gosselin is back in the news. His Manhattan apartment has been trashed by his former girlfriend, Hailey Glassman. He is pressing charges, which is really a way for his lawyer to get some practice in preparation for the inevitable divorce hearings that are set to begin with Kate.




So first Batman did it, then Star Trek did it and now, Spider-Man is going to reboot.
Word is that Columbia Pictures have officially tossed out Spider-Man 4 as we know it. Script issues were to blame and with the film officially given the kibosh, the big three – Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and director Sam Raimi – are out.


Eventually, Columbia will release a film based on Peter Parker’s teenaged years – of course I do believe that Tobey could probably pull it off.


Shame really, lots of people I knew hated the third Spider-Man film. Best part of the film? The song at the end by Snow Patrol.




Was Usher’s robbed of over 1 Million Dollars worth of valuables?
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
Usher had parked his SUV near a mall in Atlanta, GA and when he returned over 1 Million Dollars in electronics, furs, gold were missing.


And we thought Michigan was bad.


And who the hell keeps furs in a SUV? You’re just waiting for PETA to show up at a red light and start protesting.




That does it for Soap It Up! and all the celebrity news from yesterday.
