Still Like Hugh Jackman?

Below you will find a little clip of Britney Spears during her Good Morning America appearance earlier this morning. But, what I found more interesting was the way Hugh Jackman sang happy birthday to her. He has a really good voice. I'm not sure Britney had any clue who he is but at least she knows she lives in America. Took her awhile to figure it out, but she finally got there. Must be that old age setting in. Apparently Britney is going on a world tour. So, if you have a few hundred bucks sitting around and want to listen to Britney's records while she dances around pretending to sing them, then by all means spend your money. Wow. I can't believe she is 27. It seems like only yesterday that Ben Affleck was counting down the days until she turned 18.

bad fish-are you referring to the milli vanilli one?

mooshki said...

Nah, the "Affleck" part. But was that a blind, or just common knowledge that they hooked up?

Hugh Jackman was the lead in a Broadway musical for ages, so, yes, he can sing. And dance at the same time without having to mime. (Meow)

Look for 'The Boy from Oz' on Youtube, and you will see where all those gay rumours came from.

Ent your headline implies that we wouldn't like Hugh after that. I think it was kind of him to go along with the GMA pandering to Britney. And I wouldn't mind him singing me to sleep at night.

i think the Ben affleck Britney Spears was common knowledge at this point. The guy in the porsche in Cry me a River? Supposed to be Affleck! she cheated on justin with him and THAT is why they broke up not that ass clown Wade the dancer. well maybe both, that was her ho-ing years.

I saw him in the Boy From Oz and he sang and danced very well.

He interacted with the audience and stopped the show when someone came in late. He flirted with some guy and said "Meet me in my dressing room after the show." I told myself he was saying that as Peter Allen, not Hugh.

Cheryl said...

Meow indeed, ms-wonderland. I was pleasantly surprised by Hugh Jackman's singing on Broadway. He is a great entertainer and the Boy from Oz was a lot of fun.

Ben Affleck wiggles his way into another post on CDAN.

kimi said...

It's been a long time now but was the rumor Ben and Britney played strip poker then they did it? I heard as well he was the reason for the Britney Justin break.

ItsJustMe said...

I heard from a direct source (someone who danced with Wade) that it was indeed him she cheated with.

What happened to all the Hugh gay rumors? they've disappeared....

lutefisk said...

I have to say I NEVER heard the Affleck rumor. I am so disappointed in myself now.

palealebrew10 said...

me too, adrian-i have never heard of this-only the wade guy. i always have felt that there was "more" to the Britney/Justing breakup.

lutefisk said...

palebrew10--we should have realized all roads lead to Affleck!!

laesmralda said...

Wow I can't even wrap my mind around the whole Affleck Spears thing. my mind...blown, completely blown.

MontanaMarriott said...

Only in Hollywood can a white woman go nuts, make spectacle after spectacle of herself, appear to get herself together and find fame, success and adoration all over again. Yet poor Janet flashes a nipple and her career is DONE

Gotta love the double standard between white entertainers vs black entertainers in the media.

mooshki said...

Montana, not disagreeing with you, but I think fatism plays a huge role too. People like thin Britney, not "fat" Britney, and the same goes for Janet. Brit didn't get much of any positive press until she lost her chub.

kimi said...

Montana, I disagree. A lot went into Janets career decline. I think Mooshki is right about the being fat for too long when she was known for being a sex symbol. Look how many times in the last 20 years Whitney was crazy and it only hurt her the last few years. Fatism is alive and well and so is ageism, Britney is also younger but if this happened in her forties different story completely... I think people are just happy Britney is not dead at this point.

Seachica said...

Um, Diane Sawyer...Britney's hometown isn't New Orleans. It's Kentwood...not even a suburb of NO. Do your research! I think that's why Britney stumbled on America.

And no, I'm not a Britney fan. Just defending her here because I'd get confused too if someone said my hometown was one city, when it's really another!

Ms Cool said...

Um, I don't know why I care but here goes. It is good that she is doing better but this seems all too soon for someone that is probably still fragile.

shakey said...

I agree with Ms Cool.

Seeing that video kind of pissed me off - she looks like she's not grateful for the well wishes or the cake. Like she has Jessica Simpson "huh, what?" face.

Notice the last bit of her number at the very beginning? Seems to me like she should have put every ounce of energy into making people want to spend $100+ on a lip synch ticket.

Unknown said...

I watched her special last night on MTV. She seems very unhappy. She needs to retire, take whats left of her millions, and spend the rest of her life away from the spotlight. If she feels like she's living in a prison as a celebraty then she ought to try living without fame or money for that matter. She complains that her life is like groundhog day over and over - she should try living on the average person's salary for a year.
Promoting a new CD seems like a lot of pressure for someone whose had extensive mental health issues.

jax said...

ya they announced her new tour coming to Vancouver in April.
i'm betting it will be cancelled by that point. she is just not ready. that or she really doesn't care anymore. there is no passion or energy to her performances and she often looks overly medicated or scared shitless on stage.

Ayesha said...

It made me sick to my stomach, seeing the big fuss for this waste of skin and breath. I guess that's the way it is.

Reminds me of the feature in Spy Magazine, "Logrolling In Our Time".

Nauseating.

ureallyannoyme said...

I politely disagree with the Janet/Britney/black/white comparison. Britney obviously was sick while Janet played the victim when an obvious publicity stunt backfired. It boils down to "she needs help" vs "how stupid do you think we are?"

Geebz said...

I'm more tired of Britney than she is of doing this. Next.
