I first blogged about Alisa Apps back in December when she was causing a stir on youtube by trying to get people to sing Jingle Bells with her, well now she’s at it again with The Pop Star Challenge! The Pop Star Challenge basically pits her own video ‘Confusion’ against those of well known stars, such as Rhianna, and then asks viewers to comment on and critique both – deciding which one is better. Pretty brave move, to try go up against artists with already well established fan bases. You can go ahead and watch the video below.
Why not take Alisa Apps Pop Star Challenge yourself?

Adam Jasinski thought he had a good chance of exiting the Big Brother house as the ninth-season winner, but didn’t want to get his hopes up too high.
Thanks to some strategic moves he made during the game and his ability convince the jury he deserved to win, the 29-year-old public relations manager from Del Ray Beach, FL shouldn’t have sweat it as he claimed Big Brother 9’s $500,000 prize by a 6 to 1 jury vote over Ryan Quicksall during last night’s live finale broadcast on CBS.
On Monday, Reality TV World spoke briefly Adam with about his various strategies in the competition; how he regrets using the word “retards” while conversing with some other houseguests; why he’s surprised at the attention the “Freudian slip” has garnered; how he may not have carried his former “perfect-match” partner Sheila Kennedy, but did have her back; and what he plans to do with the prize money.
Reality TV World: Were you confident you’d win the jury vote against Ryan? Did you think you’d win by such a large margin?
Adam: Landslide victory, wasn’t it?
Reality TV World: Yeah, was that surprising?
Adam: Not really in a sense. All week long, I was telling Ryan, “Look buddy, I think you’re going to win.” I didn’t want to be overconfident myself. I knew that if I had a chance to speak to the jury that I would win them over. I’m a good speaker in the sense that I can drive a convincing argument. I think I did. I had a gut feeling that I was going to win the show, but I didn’t want to get ahead of myself throughout the week. I hate to be let down.
Reality TV World: So you did have a strategy in approaching the jury when answering their questions and delivering your final statement?
Adam: A complete strategy. I put myself in other people’s shoes. You can tell what they’re going to ask. I knew [James Zinkand] was going to ask me competitive-wise versus Ryan, who won more competitions. In a sense, that question did phase me a little bit because it got me to justify that point to the jury.
I pretty much made one huge end speech, then dished out portions of it throughout the Q&A. Then whatever was left I summed it up in my key points and close it off with a nice little finale.
Davina McCall has quit Big Brother to become a serious actress, reports claim.
The presenter, who has fronted the Channel 4 reality show since 2000, will launch her new career when the ninth series ends this summer.
She has sacked long-time agent John Noel in favour of Michael Foster, who spearheaded Billie Piper’s transformation from popstar to respected actress.
A source told the News of the World: “She has finally realised the time is right to move on. After doing so many series of Big Brother, she’s become seriously bored.
“She’s very excited and convinced that Michael can turn her into a serious actor.”
The 40-year-old will reportedly star in a major ITV drama later this year. She previously attempted to change direction with a role in ITV sitcom Sam’s Game in 2001, but the show was cancelled after one series.
A Channel 4 insider said: “Davina has had to make some very hard choices. There is an understanding at Big Brother that it’s very unlikely she’ll be back.
“How many times can she keep on saying, ‘Big Brother House, this is Davina. You are live on Channel 4. Please do not swear’? This really is make or break time for her.”
