On Gear Live: Apple’s HUGE Siri Apple Intelligence Fumble w/ John Gruber - Geared Up 205

On yesterday’s episode of Ellen, singer opened up about something she had never spoken about before.  Although her battle with breast cancer was quite public, her original misdiagnosis wasn’t.

As it was, the performer went in for a check-up right before the start of her 2005 concert tour only to be told that “everything was fine.”  Three years later, she is currently in remission.

“Because someone’s in a big white coat and using big medical instruments, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right.”


Well, Kylie—let us just say that you are looking absolutely fabulous today.  We wish the best of luck to you.

Carrie Underwood, Chace CrawfordWhile I’m certain that this isn’t the first time something like this has happened, it may be the first time we’ve heard a celebrity publicly admit that they’ve ended a relationship this way.

After an taping yesteday, former American Idol star Carrie Underwood opened up to Extra about her recently publicized breakup.

The country singer told ‘s girlfriend that she and her Gossip Girl beau (Chace Crawford) ended on a very anti-climactic note.  It was all done via text message.  (You can see that interview here.)

“It was completely mutual.  We broke up like over text…it was like ‘peace out’.  Like, I don’t know.  It just didn’t work.  We both know it didn’t work.  And, no hard feelings at all whatsoever.  No big deal.”

I must say, although she kept repeating it was ‘no big deal’, she did seem awfully bitter to me.

Jay-Z, BeyonceAlthough no official announcement has been released, all signs indicate that Knowles, 26, and rapper Jay-Z, 38, are now indeed married.

After the two were spotted securing a marriage license earlier this week, it was just simply a matter of when.  The couple’s decision to wed on Friday night (4/4) may have been a matter of the date’s significance.  She was born on September 4th; he on December 4th.

According to online reports, the musicians apparently had a small private ceremony earlier in the evening before a much bigger bash that night.  (Tents erected on the roof of Shawn Carter’s Tribeca apartment building indicated something was going to happen.)  Several celebrities - including the girls from Destiny’s Child and - were also seen in the area.

Well, until they come out and fully admit the news - I’m going to go ahead and congratulate them anyway.  Cheers!

Sure, has had a rocky road, and I don’t debate that. But let’s be serious - being a celebrity is good, too. Check out this video to get a real taste of a Spears shopping excursion, and tell me who should feel sorry for who in the entertainment industry. Let’s not forget - you want the perks, you live through the pitfalls, too.

New Kids on the Block

Sure, I listened to the . I was a young girl in the 90s - find me another like myself who didn’t listen to this band. They rocketed to success, blazed a trail for all the boy bands which came after them, and sold 70 million albums while swinging their legs back and forth and wearing ripped-up jeans. I mean, what says superstars quite like that?

Now they’re all almost forty, and they’re going to attempt to do it (or…something sort of like it) again. Honestly, plainly, I’ve never been into aging rockers. I admire bands like The Rolling Stones and performers like Paul McCartney and sure I think they’re great, but there’s also something a little sad about almost-geriatric singers still playing an electric guitar (don’t believe me? Did you see the ?).

Put-Description-HereThanks to Being Bobby Brown, the public already knows a lot more than they wanted to about the music industry’s Most Troubled Couple.  So really, what more could Bobby Brown say now?

Well, apparently a lot more.  In an upcoming tell-all, the New Edition singer pulls no punches about his less than angelic past.  But will pro- fans believe what he has to say?

According to the New York Post, the musician basically blames his history with cocaine on the turbulent union.  (Marijuana had been his drug of choice.) In Bobby Brown: Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing, he also admits that people may have been right to question the couple’s longevity from the start.

Sorry, ladies.  There was no actual ‘performance’ from the New Kids on the Block this morning.  (You’ll have to wait until May 16th for that.)  But here’s your chance to see if the men at least physically held up over the years.

Put-Description-HereAlthough I knew this day would eventually come, I still have a hard time believing it’s finally happened.  has just now surpassed The King.

Mariah’s latest single, Touch My Body, just became the Number One song on Billboard’s Hot 100.  This achievement gives the 38-year-old singer a total of eighteen #1 hits on those charts, edging her right past Elvis Presley.  (He was holding reign at 17.)  With a few more years under her belt, she may one day pass as well.  (The Fab Four clock in at 20 toppers.)

While I will fully admit that I like many of Carey’s songs, I find it strange to even think of her musical library being in the same realm as those two legends.  Will her songs eventually stand the test of time?  Which one of her singles could possibly compare to something like Let It Be or Can’t Help Falling in Love?

Carey’s next album, E=MC2, will be released on April 16.

Beyonce, Jay-ZCould this simply be an April Fool’s joke…or is that what they’d like you to believe?

According to People, and Jay-Z have finally taken the next step in their relationship:  They’ve secured a marriage license.  A source tells the magazine that the lovebirds - who have been together since 2002 - obtained the paperwork earlier today in Scarsdale, New York.

Assuming the rumors are true, that means we should probably expect to hear wedding bells for the musicians sometime very soon.  The license hits its expiration date in 60 days.

Britney Spears Now, I’ve heard it all. It may be April first, but this is not a joke….at least, I don’t think it is. Animal rights group PETA was so blown away by seeing on How I Met Your Mother that the group has offered her a job. No, not as a spokesperson. As a receptionist.

Spears would be given $1000, to be donated to a children’s charity, if she were to accept the gig, offered to her by the very group which has lambasted her in the past. PETA sent Spears a letter dated March 27, 2008. According the letter, this job could last for only an hour, giving Brit the opportunity to see what they (PETA employees) deal with every day and why animal rights are so very important. The letter reads: “You will see firsthand the problems that we deal with every day. You would be able to help the cats and dogs who linger in animal shelters because people have chosen to buy animals from breeders or pet stores.”
