It's been a bit since I Top-Fived your humble little Tuesdays, ha'ant it? And there's soo much I want to spill my guts on in the entertainosphere, so I thought, "Yo dude, put one and two together!" So that's what we're going to do today here at S & H. These are the Top 5 entertainment stories I should have blogged about in the past few weeks, but haven't.

5. Movies!
Rambo 5 is apparently building sound stages abroad already. Wicked. The next Clint Eastwood movie--Gran Torino--is (believed to be) a Dirty Harry sequel in clever disguise. And Jason Reitman is already teaming again with Juno writer, Diablo Cody. But this time, they got demon-possessed cheerleaders and our favorite Cohen, Adam Brody!

4. Big screen comic talk geek corner
The Xmen Origins movie of Wolverine is filming in Australia, and we can expect roles from Gambit, Deadpool and Sabretooth to pop up. However, it also sounds like (thankfully) there will not be a Fantastic Four 3. Not that I'm against Marvel's first family at all, but those movies were comic blockbuster kryptonite. And it also sounds like Marvel is planning lots of cross film cameos, with Robbie Downey Jr's Tony Stark popping up in The Hulk.

3. Chapter 27
A movie titled "Chapter 27" doesn't sound entirely creepy. But then you learn it's about the dude who shot and killed John Lennon. And then you see the movie poster with Jared Leto and learn he's put on 60 pounds for the role. By then, you're probably creeped out.

2. Good Vibrations!
Let's just stream of conscious talk about everything music, here at our Number 2 spot. Coldplay's new record, Viva La Vida, will hit stores June 17 and that makes me a happy sentimental boy. Scorsese to direct Bob Marley biopic for 2010 and that makes me a happy biopic fiend. Scott Weilend is breaking up his supergroup Velvet Revolver because he doesn't like that Slash sings backup. Rock's sharpest act going, The Raconteurs, pulled a fast one today by releasing an album no one knew a thing about. "Consolers Of The Lonely" was only announced last week and went under absolutely no promotion. Take that Radiohead. You can bet I'm heading to Best Buy when I get done work today.

1. Where The Wild Things At?
Aside from a mild return to "acting on" sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," Britney Spears has NOT been in the news. No melt downs. No umbrella incidents. No kidnappings. Nothing. And so, if you think about it...that's like, headline news. The gossip world is without a light, a beacon of truth, a leader. The tabloid system may have to revert back to fabricated stories soon if this keeps up.

I think I realized my favorite word of the year last night. We've seen it all year long in gossip stories about J. Lo, Jessica Alba, and Christina Aguilera.. But last night, it broke into the mainstream news media and made me realize it's the ultimate word of 2007. Drum roll please...

"Preggers"

It was on CNN last night as a headline about the teen pregnancy of lil' Britney Spears -- "Britney's lil' sis is preggers." PREGGERS!? In big bold print on CNN! I don't make this stuff up.

For an 'official' definition of preggers, here's what the Urban Dictionary has to say about that (#6 being my favorite).

I don't even know what the biggest story here is now. Whether the famous kid sis has now joined the growing stable of hollywood trainwrecked starlets with her big sis or whether "the most trusted name in news" is dipping into words like "preggers."

America's beloved Britney is hitting store shelves with her big 'comeback' album next Tuesday, October 30. Is it a coincidence that "Blackout" will be released on Hallow's Eve? Will it be more frightening than all the terror flicks littering the cable channels? You be the judge.

For a while, I was beginning to think it would bomb even worse than K-Fed's (her ex-hubby) awful shipwreck of a rap record. But, I forgot we are all endlessly infatuated with Britney the way we are with Michael Jackson, so no matter how lame her new single, "Gimme More" sounds, it's getting lots of airplay and will probably propel some decent album sales.

I think Britney oddly succeeds in (and has become the princess of) popular culture because she's kinda become this weird demented symbol of the American dream. Even if it's more of a nightmare. Think about it, she began as this gorgeous little honeypot and she tried her darndest to grow up, but has kinda failed to. The towns of America are littered with people who identify with that. Heck, I even raise my hand along with those folks. Plus, she's become a big open gash spurting for all the attention she can get. Who doesn't love a former teen starlet who shaves her head after divorcing out of a marriage we all knew was doomed to crash, and bashes cars with umbrellas? I know I do.

It shows that you don't have to be stable to be successful, but also that being successful doesn't make you stable. Maybe it's destabilizing? And for those of us that are far from being famous, it makes us sit back in our easy chairs a little more easily. I'm sure a lot of us are far from normal, but when we tune into the news to see Britney continuing to self-destruct, our lives don't seem so bad.

You can listen to her whole album before it's released right here via MTV's The Leak. What ya think?
