Ugh, OK. It’s hard to hate Rebecca Black. She’s already parlayed wry self-awareness into a facsimile of a career, and props for that.

But if this is Rebecca’s “Moment,” it is an interminable, “endless breadsticks” kind of Moment. Last week, Rebecca joined Katy Perry onstage in concert for a chorus of “Friday”; this week, she was interviewed on ABC’s Nightline about the perils of fame.

Then, last night, Rebecca Black performed a short medley—a very short medley, as she has only two songs—on America’s Got Talent. Verdict? If she’s singing without a backing track, she sounds better than you expect, which isn’t great, but it’s something.

The best part of the performance, however, comes at its conclusion, when Talent judge Piers Morgan visibly wonders when he can get back to his super-important job at CNN. Take a look at Sharon Osbourne‘s reaction. Oh, Piers! What a pistol!

See this video? Yeah, I know you’re probably thinking one of two things – a) Oh dude, I know what this is! or, b) What the hell is this? If you’re in the former, don’t ruin it for your fellow readers, just bliss out and listen to it again, and if you’re in the latter, boy, do I have a surprise for you: it’s the return to music for Justin Timberlake!

While I’m not all that impressed, to tell the truth, I am pretty happy that he’s dabbling again. He’s just got it all: the brains, the acting chops, the vocals, and the (sort of) looks. He needs to exercise these things simultaneously, and what better way to start than finally getting back to music?

A photo of Lady Gaga

“I often feel like my shoes are the only part of me that know what I’m doing all the time because they’re always with me. There’s this one pair of boots that I always wear, and sometimes when I’m so alone in my hotel room, I look at them and I think how they really are the only things in my life that know exactly what I’ve been through all day.”

- Lady Gaga doing what she does best: talking out of her crazy ass head.

Truthfully, this is the first time that I’ve ever really felt bad for Lady Gaga. When we found out that she might use Rogaine, I was like “eh, she has money for good wigs.” When she started spewing out so much pretentiousness that it became obvious that there’s probably a little something off in her crazy ol’ head, I was just incredibly irritated. But now that she’s gone and revealed that she doesn’t have anybody as close to her as her shoes? That’s just plain heartbreaking.

A photo of Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis has been working her way into my heart lately. Sometime between 2005 when I developed my slow burning love for That 70′s Show and last week when she spoke Russian, she became one of my tip top favorite ladies. But now she did this interview with the British Glamour, and I think that maybe she might need to slow her roll, just a little.

From Glamour via Amy Grindhouse:

On being insanely attractive: ‘[Winning the Spike TV’s Guys’ Choice award this summer for the Holy Grail of Hot was] insane. Listen, I couldn’t be happier to get any of this, because I think it’s hysterical and it makes all my friends laugh. If somebody finds me attractive, God bless them, I think it’s fantastic.’

On dating rumors: ‘Being single, I find myself not being able to be in a room with a man without, the next day, I’m dating that man [according to the tabloids]. That happened for a solid six months [after Black Swan].’

On Justin Timberlake: ‘He’s incredibly funny, we laughed a lot on set… Humour is an amazing quality to have. I like sarcasm, satire, self-deprecating humour. But I also think there’s something to be said for not looking for anything and being pleasantly surprised.’

On dating Justin Timberlake: ‘[Rumours are] an unfortunate thing that comes with the circumstances, but there’s no truth to it whatsoever.’

On Hollywood: ‘No one’s curing cancer in this industry, remember? It’s not changing the world. It’s just entertainment, an art, a form of escapism. My friends and family are my number one thing in life, but you need a healthy balance. This is a phenomenal job, but the most important lesson I’ve learnt is that you never want to let your only source of happiness come from something that’s so filled with uncertainty.’

On weight loss: ‘I’m a huge foodie, I love food. But when people say, ‘I can’t lose weight’, no no no, you can. Your body can do everything and anything, you just have to want to do it.’

I think that Mila’s charming, I do. The whole “if somebody finds me attractive, God bless them” bit? So adorable. But I don’t think it’s entirely fair for a woman who’s immeasurably gifted, genetically, who’s never struggled with her weight, at least not in a major way, and who has the means to hire trainers and buy healthier foods to call every single person who actually does struggle with weight out like this. I’m not saying there’s no truth to what she’s saying, I think there definitely definitely is, I just don’t think it sounds right coming from someone like Mila.

Thoughts?

A photo of LeAnn Rimes

Because if there’s one body type that drives us all crazy, it’s that emaciated look that’s so hot right now, with that distended stomach and those sweet toothpick arms. And we all know that no one is doing that look better than LeAnn Rimes.

What do you guys think? Could LeAnn sell you a bikini, or do you not want your breasts to ever look anything like hers?
