While we expect tomorrow’s “CSI” coming( brand new shave next) as “the awfully prohibited daughter of a tacky owners of a decrepit motel, “ Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” notches the 11th week as the top-selling manuscript in America…and provides a li’l punish opposite The Jonas Brothers.
But watch out Taylor, U2’s coming…
Taylor, who cameos in The JoBros’ underwhelmingly behaving unison movie, deserves her own movie since she steals the show from the hirsute contingent, sez this scribe.
Meanwhile, this man sez which many “Nashville has a repute for branch out crap, ” but Taylor is one of Music City’s finest.
Here’s which shave from Thursday’s “CSI:”

At slightest one censor sez Taylor “acquits herself well” in the episode.

Jewel-ry Counter: While Jewel battles tendinitis in her knees as she preps for Monday’s premiere of “Dancing with the Stars, ” a gossip has hatched that she’s already been transposed by a “Girl Next Door.”
