Star Tripping

If reports are accurate, then Enrique Iglesias just made an enemy out of Britney spears.

According to TMZ sources, Enrique has decided to quit being the opener for Britney’s latest tour because he thought they would be co-headliners. However, after he found out that he was just an opening act, he bolted.

It’s too bad as Britney herself announced their concert together over at Good Morning America. Looks like Britney will either have to look for a new opening act or just go ahead and do it alone.

As for Enrique Iglesias, this does not bode well for his PR as Britney is seen as a fallen star who wasn’t given assistance at the time she needed it.

Simon Cowell maybe getting ex-American Idol Judge Paula Abdul as part of his new show, X-Factor.

According to Simon, working with Paula can be annoying at times, but he admitted that he missed her:

“When I was working with her at times, I actually wanted to kill her, she was the most annoying person. And then I’d miss her, and I think she was the same,”

Selecting the next judge would require a lot of decisions to be made. Although if it were up to him, his chemistry with Paula Abdul would be enough for him to choose her.

X-factor auditions begins this Sunday in L.A.

Did Chris Brown blow up at Good Morning America (GMA) and broke a window in the process?

Mr. Brown obviously does not want to talk about the beating he gave Rihanna. When one of the co-anchors of the show asked whether he saw his ex-girlfriend since the incident, Brown steered the interview back to promoting his new album.

“I mean, not really. It’s not really a big deal to me now as far as that situation. I think I’m past that in my life. I think today’s the album day so that’s what I’m focused on. Everybody go get that album.”

After he performed, he got back to his dressing room, went out shirtless and talked with his segment producer. The staff became concerned and called security after they heard loud noises. When he left, the GMA crew found that his dressing room’s window has been smashed.

There hasn’t been any comment from Brown or his representatives as of this moment.
