Selena Gomez Talks Carrie Underwood

Sunday, November 9th, 2008


Despite claiming to be drama-free, Carrie Underwood’s recent anti-politics comments have garnered the country crooner negative attention. Disney’s newest princess Selena Gomez responded to Carrie’s statement that celebrities should not make public political endorsements with some disapproval. She said “A lot of people do look up to certain celebrities and will follow in their footsteps. I think you just have to be aware of what you’re saying.” Although the young star is not yet old enough to vote, she was active in encouraging the under-18 crowd to educate themselves. Selena helped launch UR Vote Counts, which conducted a faux election for teens with voting booths set up in malls.

Laura White’s Dad blames a smear campaign for his daughter’s loss:

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Yesterday on X Factor, Laura White got voted to go home and her dad now comes out and blames a horrific campaign against his daughter, aimed at destroying her potential. Apparently, being homesick, dating an X Factor Executive and having a contract with Matt Aitken have a really, really big influence on the judging of Laura’s singing abilities. Another interesting thing is that Laura is apparently dating a man named Mathew Firsht who runs a company that provides live audiences for shows. “Provides live audiences for shows”? I wonder what ever happened to people going to a show just because they enjoy watching it… do they need some sort of special training now, or what?
