Josh Groban scored himself a high spot on the albums’ charts with his Christmas album ‘Noel’. And it seems like everyone got wind of what a big deal music can be this holiday season because a couple of others want the same cake that Josh is eating.
American Idol alum and multi award-winning singer Carrie Underwood is trying her luck this Christmas season by making her own version of ‘Do You Hear What I Hear?’. And if you want your holiday season to have a bit more of an edge, try listening to Ludacris and his own holiday theme ‘Ludacrismas’.
The Jonas Brothers are really proving that they’re a hardworking group. The musical family trio took some time for a quick photo shoot backstage at Good Morning America on Friday. The three teen hunks performed their smash single ‘S.O.S.’ for the throng of screaming fan girls.
The brothers didn’t travel alone though. Their dad Kevin Sr., mom Denise and younger brother Frankie were also with them. If Frankie was only old enough, he’d be in the group too. Maybe they could make like Menudo and exchange an older member for a younger one someday. It could be like a Jonas family right of passage.
South Florida is about to get rocked. The Y100’s Jingle Ball is hitting the town on Saturday, December 15 at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton will serve as one of the hosts while the hottest stars of today will take the stage. Artists that are on the bill include Timbaland, Good Charlotte, Natasha Bedingfield, Ashley Tisdale, One Republic, Plain White Ts, Sean Kingston, Elliot Yamin and even more.
Perez will also be joining Elvis Duran for the Z100 Jingle Ball in New York City on December 14. That’s one very busy celebrity blogger. I wish I was Perez.
His looks scare us, his songs scare us and his paintings scare us. Everything that goes on around Marilyn Manson is scary so what makes us think that his performances, and even his props, would be any different?Manson decided to up the ante to his scary factor by adding a massive butcher knife to the end of his microphone. The 38-year old kicked off his tour in Madrid earlier in the week where fans got a slice, pun intended, of crazy from the drag goth rocker.
Maybe the only scarier thing that he could do now is to remove his make up using acid.
Travis Barker of Blink 182 fame is usually rockin’ it out. With his tattoos, mo-hawk and piercings, you would hardly think of him as a hip hop act. But a video has been posted on YouTube where the drummer is making use of his talent to pound out the song ‘Crank That’ by Soulja Boy. And anyone can say that his remix is fantastic as he put his rock star attitude on the mega hit.
I just think it’s sad that the Soulja Boy is getting pretty commercial. Children to ballet to it, Natalie Portman dances to it and Travis did a remix of it. If by some miracle, Britney decides to dance again and learn the Soulja Boy dance, it’s over!
We’ve had a lot to say about Rehab singer Amy Winehouse of late. With her recent activities at her gigs, and her hubby in jail there has been a lot of speculation as to whether the 24-year-old is heading for a breakdown.
Now Liam Gallagher; notorious for his, let’s say, “Rock ‘n’ Roll” lifestyle; has warned Amy to tone down her wild ways before it gets out of control. Despite admitting that if he were still Amy’s age, he would probably be doing the same thing (if not more drugs), the Oasis singer said “She plays with fire, so she’ll get burnt. That’s the way it goes. If she knows what she is doing is not good, then she needs to back up a bit.”
And it’s not without reason. The troubled singer collapsed after an overdose in the summer and has since struggled to stay sober. And now further health fears have sparked after she looked painfully thin while visiting her husband Blake Fielder Civil at London’s Pentonville Prison on Thursday.
Amy you have the backing of legend musical names such as Andrew Lloyd Webber and Liam Gallagher, but only you can help you. Perhaps it really is time for some Rehab.
If you have Jermaine Dupri saying F you to you, just say F you right back. The music producer wrote a very impassioned and misguided essay about the state of the music business. And coming from one of the producers who can be considered a mogul already, it makes me sick.
Not only did it clearly show his lack of appreciation for the people that buy his music, but he also looks at iTunes as a big evil monster. Janet Jackson’s main squeeze thinks that albums should be sold as a whole and consumers shouldn’t have the option to buy songs individually like we can on iTunes.
Well at least we buy a song instead of downloading them illegally!
Alicia Keys hit the top of the charts this week with her new album “As I Am”. The gorgeous and talented singer has hit Number one with her album in the Billboard 200 charts, after it sold over 700,000 copies in the US. Blimey girl that’s a lot of albums!
Keys has had 3 previous albums hit number one in the first week of their release; hinting that this little lady is not just a pretty face. She seems to have the “key” to our hearts, or at least our ears, as fans sweep in to buy her music as fast as it can hit the shelves.
And what a perfect name for the album. We’ll definitely take you as you are Alicia…it seems to be working so far. Keep your ears peeled folks – if you haven’t heard it yet, get buying it; before it’s sold out!
Regina Daniels has worked as R. Kelly’s publicist for 14 years. She deserves a loyalty award don’t you think? But before we can even go to hand it to her, she’s formally announced her decision to cut all ties with the R&B singer.
In her statement about it, Daniels says “I have prided myself on loyalty, respect and professionalism. It saddens me that I was not always shown those same courtesies during my 14-year tenure as Mr. Kelly’s publicist … There are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign.”
Ooh! Ooh! I hope there’s a lawsuit involved.
People have been saying that John Mayer is a douche, he’s too into himself, he is mighty ugly especially when he goes on stage and whatnot but no one can deny that he makes some really pretty songs. And you have to love pretty songs.John recently wrote a tune for the upcoming Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman flick ‘The Bucket List’ and it’s called ‘Say’. It’s a great love song to add to his collection and it even features a full string section.
He may come off as a wannabe rocker but John also happens to be a sensitive musician.
