Pete Townshend bares his belly at the Super Bowl

Yep, you should totally wear a T-shirt if you plan to whirl your arms around during the Super Bowl and you aren’t exactly into working your abs.

Pete Townshend, 64, proved as much during the Who’s half-time performance at the Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7.

The band’s show was thrilling to say the least, but maybe someone (anyone) should have told Pete to button those bottom buttons or at least wear a T-shirt.

Check out Pete’s belly below.

A source reportedly told the newspaper that Idol is the only show on TV that could compete with Sirius XM Radio for a contract with Stern, the highest paid radio personality on the air.

They think he could be even meaner than Cowell.

“They know he would be great TV and would clash with the other judges such as Ellen DeGeneres and the contestants. ‘Idol’ will do what it takes to sign him,” the source reportedly said.

O’Reilly and Stewart square off tonight in second part of interview

Jon Stewart and Bill O’Reilly squared off on “The O’Reilly Factor” Thursday night for the first time since 2004.

In the friendly fight, Stewart called O’Reilly the new voice of sanity on Fox News. He equated that to being the thinnest kid at fat camp.

“They have taken reasonable concerns about this president and this economy and turned it into full-fledged panic attack about the next coming of Chairman Mao,” Stewart said of Fox.

O’Reilly denied being a republic shill and defended his cohorts, calling Glenn Beck an everyman who simply spouts what he believes.

In a teaser for the second part of the interview set to air 8 p.m. tonight on FOX, O’Reilly hints that he will vet Stewart for vice president of the democratic party.

Brittany Murphy’s death ruled accidental

The cause of actress Brittany Murphy’s death has been revealed.

The 32-year-old died of pneumonia complicated by anemia and prescription drugs the LA coroner’s office has ruled, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.

The death has been ruled accidental.

The coroner’s office declined to identify the type of drugs used, the newspaper said. It only indicated they were all prescription drugs.

There was speculation that the star of “Clueless” and “8 Mile” died of prescription drug use.

Her husband and mother told investigators she suffered flu-like symptoms prior to her death.

Her husband partly blamed Warner Brothers for Murphy’s December death and indicated he might sue.

Rumors of Miley Cyrus sister’s kiddy lingerie line devastates company

Nope, you can’t believe everything you see on a blog.

Rumors that Miley Cyrus’ plucky 9-year-old sister Noah is launching a kiddy lingerie line are bogus and a little bit more.

Annie Dugourd, co-founder of Ooh, La La! Couture, the company that was said to produce the line, called the rumors of a children’s lingerie line “an absolute lie,” according to CNBC.

Dugourd blamed the whole thing on Perez Hilton and said the her company only plans to make line of tutu dresses for 8-year-old actress Emily Grace Reeves, Noah’s best friend,

“It’s been devastating for our little company. We’re two stay-at-home moms who make tutu dresses. We would never do anything inappropriate,” Dugourd said.

The company’s web site is down for the count at the moment.

Noah Cyrus’ outfits, including a dominatrix Halloween costume, have raised eyebrows.

In a promotional video that has since been disabled, Noah dances around in a leopard print dress and fingerless gloves. Miley, 17, says she “loves” the range of clothes, according to Stuff.co.nz.

Here is a video from Noah and Emily’s YouTube.com channel. Towards the end they sing about how much they like money. It has a good tune.

Swift backlash. Do you kinda hate Taylor Swift?

Kanye West is certainly crazy, but it seems more and more people think maybe he was sort of right at the MTV Video Awards: Taylor Swift might be OK, but she’s not the greatest thing since ice cream.

The Taylor Hater Nation is very large and - according to posts on blogs and Facebook groups like “I hate Taylor Swift,” - they are so over Taylor.

A MTV.com opinion piece, “Why You Shouldn’t Hate On Taylor Swift,” tried to justify Swift’s award winning ways, but readers weren’t having it.

“This article is exactly what annoys me the most about Taylor Swift, she is portrayed as a victim we are supposed to feel sorry for. Her boyfriend broke up with her - poor Taylor. Kanye interrupted her - poor Taylor. She has an awful performance on tv and people critiize her, how dare they - poor Taylor. She is an adult woman worth millions of dollars, with buckets of awards, she doesn’t need my sympathy,” one poster said.

The Haterations caused MTV to write a second item on Swift.

So what do you think? A lot of people obviously like Swift - her record sales are off the charts -, but are all the awards justified.
