“Make sure you lip-sync good.”

Elton John has accused Madonna of lip-syncing in the past, after she won the Best Live Act at the GQ Awards in 2004. With over one billion people watching, the Super Bowl is the ultimate opportunity for exposure. Artists like Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen have sang at the Super Bowl in the past. Asked if he’d ever seen a great performance there, Elton John said:

“I’ve never seen a decent one. Never ever.”

Elton John did show some sympathy towards artists who have performed at the Super Bowl:

“You have to play live, but I don’t think you can. In all fairness to everyone who’s done one before, you may be able to sing live, but it’s really hard to play live.”

Elton John’s husband, David Furnish, has also had plenty to say about Madonna of late. After winning a Best Original Song award at the Golden Globes earlier this month, Furnish wrote on Facebook:

“Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!! Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it’s narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is.(sic)”

What do you make of these recent comments from Elton John and David Furnish? Sour grapes or fair enough?

Drew Barrymore stopped by Good Morning America this morning to talk about her new movie, Big Miracle, but show host Robin Roberts wasn’t about to let her get away without talking about her recently-announced engagement to Will Kopelman.

In the interview, Barrymore said that she’s not rushing into thumbing through wedding magazines, checking out wedding dresses, or doing any wedding planning at all. Rather, the 36-year-old bride-to-be says she’s taking the opportunity to just enjoy the moment.

“We’re trying to figure it out, I think everyone expects you to kind of know right away what all the plans are,” she told Robin Roberts. “And I’m like, ‘Oh goodness, this just happened a month ago, do I not have it together, or is it OK to keep daydreaming?’”

Roberts rightly pointed out that it’s OK to continue to dream about her wedding. Barrymore insisted that she was content in just soaking up all of the positivity surrounding her engagement, and is enjoying the happiness of her new fiancé. She’ll get to the wedding planning when she’s ready.

“I root for his happiness and people’s happiness and this is a really positive story and positive time and I like positivity, I’m drawn to it!” she said.

After nearly a month of silence former Kim Kardashian beau Kris Humphries will finally come forward on Friday to tell his half of the story to the team at Good Morning America!

Kris was originally forbidden to talk about his split because of a prenuptial agreement however that agreement is being dismissed and he will be allowed to talk to the press.

An insider told RadarOnline last week:

“The confidentiality aspect of the prenup is extensive and was created just in case things went bad, neither Kim nor Kris could discuss their relationship to the media. But now, Kris wants to be able to talk about the relationship without fear of being sued.”

Listing the couples split as Oct. 31, 2011 Humphries last week asked that their marriage be annulled and listed the reason as “fraud.”

If the annulment is denied he has also asked for a legal separation.

According to that same insider:

“Kris is getting excellent legal advice. If the judge annuls the marriage, they were never legally married, and the prenup at that point is really moot. Kris wants this to play out in court, and wants the process to be transparent. If this needs to go to trial, he is ready for that.”

Given how much Kim Kardashian and her friends have bashed Kris Humphries since the split that caused her career to be on the rocks I can’t say I blame the guy for wanting to share his half of the story.

70s rockers Journey took to the Today Show stage on Friday to rock out as part of Today Show’s Summer Concert Series.

Performing at Rockefeller Plaza, the band rocked out to Don’t Stop Believin’ , a song that has been on playlists for nearly 30 years and was recently named by SoundScan as the most downloaded song of the 20th Century.

Here’s Journey rocking out on the show:

It must have been “travel back in time” day for morning talk shows as mall favorite Tiffany and teen star Debbie Gibson also showed up to perform for the Good Morning America crowd during a live performance on Friday.

Now the awkward couple is back on the radar after a sitting down with Good Morning America for their first interview which can only be described as weird.

The interview starts with Hutchison claiming he had no idea that Stodden – who spends the majority of the interview licking her lips while staring at her new husband – was only a teen when the two met online after she signed up for one of his acting classes.

“My world turned upside down…. It didn’t make me want to walk away, but it definitely was a struggle inside my heart … because I had already started falling for her,” Doug said, explaining his shock after discovering Courtney was only 16.

From there, the couple discusses their online courtship, which was monitored and approved of by Mrs. Stodden, and the beautiful moment when Doug – three times the age of his bride – called and explained to Courtney’s parents that he was falling in love with their daughter.

“I said, Krista (Mrs. Stodden), I don’t know if you know this or not, but your daughter and I are falling in love. If you and Alex have any misgivings whatsoever about this … I will respect you, and Courtney will respect you. And we will step back.”

Both parents oddly had no reservations, giving Hutchison the window to propose, which he did upon meeting Courtney for the first time in person.

The newlyweds, who are considering the possibility of a reality show, now live together in Hutchison’s Hollywood home along with their pet Chihuahua, Everette.

Titled 15 Minutes, the 16 track concept album tells the story of a singer who experiences the highs and lows of the fame machine.

“I’ve been having a lot of success with the cover songs,” explained Manilow in a recent interview with ABC, “but I missed writing, so that’s what [this album] is. These days, [fame] seems to be more magnified than ever,” Manilow continued. “Especially with reality shows like American Idol. These young people get fame out of the blue, and I’ve been there, and it is difficult to handle when it hits you at any time.”

So what is the inspiration behind his new look and sound?

In a recent interview with Reuters, the ‘Copacobana’ singer revealed his album began to develop as he witnessed Britney Spears enduring a public meltdown.

“I was watching Britney Spears being driven crazy by the paparazzi,” Manilow says. “This young, beautiful, talented girl was just trying to live her life, but she was being followed around everywhere. I asked myself, is that the price of fame these days?”

Barry, who has sold more than 80 million records worldwide, has already started working on his next project, a second volume of his 1984 jazz album, 2:00 AM Paradise Café.

Here is a recent clip of Manilow performing Bring on Tommorow on ABC’s Good Morning America show.

The crazy intern that stalked Steve Phillips, Brooke Hundley, tearfully defended her actions and showed an alarming level of denial in a Good Morning America interview.

Hundley denied stalking Phillips, a claim easily refuted by reading her scary letter to Marni Phillips or listening to the 911 call reporting her erratic visit wherein she crashed into a pole at the Phillips’ home. Saying she hoped Phillips would “grow up,” Hundley defends her actions, describing the relationship as abusive and her motives in terrorizing the Phillips family as rooted in a desire to save other women from similar upset and distress.

Despite being the driving force behind this story’s prominence in the media, Hundley feels she bears little responsibility in the drama that eventually cost herself and Phillips their jobs and provided endless gossip fodder for the media:

“I didn’t in any time working at ESPN follow anybody around, wanting any sort of relationship with anybody. I didn’t harass anyone. I didn’t want anything from anyone.”

Good Morning America reports that Jon and Kate Gosselin’s “controversy is likely to boost attention and ratings for the couple’s TLC show” with the season opener just days away on May 25.

According to Good Morning America on the Jon and Kate affair:

One thing is for sure: The controversy is likely to boost attention and ratings for the couple’s TLC show. When season five premieres May 25, viewers will tune in to see if the Gosselins, parents of 8-year-old twin girls and 5-year-old sextuplets, address their offscreen troubles on the show.

The show is obviously taking advantage of the current publicity around the show’s cast. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times said that the first episode of Jon and Kate plus 8 was not yet completed because producers were still trying to figure out how to incorporate the latest tabloid headlines and buzz into the show.

“We are in production for season five and moving forward as planned, while fully supporting the family and respecting their needs as they work through this challenging time,” a TLC spokeswoman, Laurie Goldberg, said in a statement to ABCNews.com. “This show has always been about a real family dealing with real-life situations, and that will continue to be the case for the new season.”

In front of a paltry crowed reported to be only 50 people, Simpson stopped mid song, complaining that she couldn’t hear the band behind her. She did manage to get going again, but as you can hear in the video above, the universal panning the performance received is well and truly justified.

I guess the positive is that she wasn’t miming…well maybe not, miming would have sounded better.
