Porter Wagoner passed away today. How sad. Country music has lost an icon. Known not only for his music, he was also known for his flashy rhinestone studded suits and his pompadour hairstyle. And he still wore both every time he performed.

I am one of the last people to stand up for celebrities who do stupid things and get away with it just because they are a celebrity. So with regards to Britney's performance at the VMA's, it looked less than enthusiastic on her part, not to mentio...
