The "Pop" Quiz
Baldmike Explains it All: I've said that it seems by looking at the rotating features on Xanga's front page that our blogging site wants to aspire to TMZ status. Well, here's today's Pop Culture Pop Quiz, and who better to institute this feature than a 57 year old literary scholar. After you take this quiz, you'll be suitably "with it" and "hip" to be able to maneuver through the sometimes sticky pop culture landscape. (At least until TMZ.com updates their page.)

Wow, I missed only 4, I watch too much tv
I missed five because I didn't know or didn't care. I'm actually proud to know Britney's 30. Actually, I thought she was 29, only a few months older than I. Oh well. Hope you get your accolades for this silly stunt
Obviously, I am not "hip" or "with it" as I don't think I could answer any of the questions correctly. I don't watch American Idol & I don't watch programs about celebrities. Miley Cyrus is the only one I care anything about, but I missed the announcement & headline this week. I hope she did not do either A. or D. ~~Blessings 'n Cheers
i failed... hehehehe
I thought I was pretty well informed! Haha guess not! I think I would fare better in a Xanga gossip quiz xD
Hah, I'm not sure if I should be proud but I got all of the questions right!
