Christina Aguilera is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Billboard magazine. In the accompanying cover article, Sia, one of the powerhouse singer’s collaborators, was quoted about what she thought of Christina. Sia said “Christina [Aguilera] could shit in a bottle and her fans would still love it.” Sorry to burst your bubble but that isn’t going to happen any time soon. Christina’s album would just drive my point home. However, if you said that Lady Gaga could shit in a bottle and her fans would still love it, I wouldn’t argue with you at all. Yes, I said it.
Demi Lovato has told sources that she thinks that Miley Cyrus is the sweetest thing in the world. The Disney princess/actress/singer has said that because “Miley has been in the spotlight longer than I have…I go to her.” Demi even admits to texting Miley even when she’s crying and stressed out, adding “She’ll reply back, ‘All right, here’s what you do.’ She’s the sweetest thing in the world.” I get how you can look up to someone or ask for help because they’ve been around longer but I highly doubt that Miley is the most competent one out there to approach. Here’s to hoping that Demi wouldn’t get led down the wrong path because of Miley Cyrus.
Elizabeth Taylor has hit out at Michael Jackson’s doctor for claiming that the singer was gay, according to reports.
The veteran Hollywood star, 78, who was close friends with the music legend before his death in June last year, took to Twitter to criticise Jackson’s dermatologist Dr Arnold Klein for saying Jacko had had a romantic relationship with his office manager.
Earlier today, she tweeted: “Dr Arnie Klein declared on 2 May that he did not betray Michael Jackson by saying publicly that he had a homosexual relationship with someone in ‘Arnie’s’ office.
It seems he supplies not only women (Debbie Rowe), but men too… how convenient. Just what we want in our doctors.
?And then to say he did not betray Michael’s confidence. No wonder he has death threats.?
She added: “I thought doctors, like priests, took an oath of confidentiality. May God have mercy on his soul.”
There are only a few episodes left of American Idol meaning there?s only so much time left until Simon Cowell will be gone from the judges? table permanently. However, there?s still no replacement named. It?s being said that the snarky judge?s replacement will not be revealed until after the May 26 season finale. Fox chairman Peter Rice said ?We?re not going to rush into something. We?re not going to try to find a Simon clone who can do what he does because, you know, he?s one of a kind. But the [Idol] format itself, people love.? I wonder who they?re going to pick.
A 12-year-old US child prodigy has become a YouTube sensation with his rendition of the Lady Gaga hit Paparazzi.
Greyson Michael Chance was filmed performing the song on the piano at Edmond middle school’s ?Chorus Performance Night’.
And the video has so far clocked up over one and a half million hits after being posted on his own YouTube page last week.
Chance, who bears a slight resemblance to other YouTube favourite Justin Bieber, can be seen in the clip whipping the audience of teen girls into a frenzy with his spot-on vocals and adept key strokes.
As well as posting his version of Paparazzi, Chance has also included videos of him performing two songs he has written – ?Stars’ and ?Broken Hearts’.
We finally found out who the top 3 contestants are on American Idol. The bottom singers aren?t revealed and instead, the top 4 were relieved of the stress one by one. Casey James and Lee DeWyze were the first to be revealed to be safe. Just by seeing who?s left to go home, I knew that it was going to be Michael Lynche leaving before it was even announced. Casey James, Lee DeWyze, and Crystal Bowersox are in the top 3.
My personal favorite is Crystal Bowersox
Lil Wayne is in trouble after the rapper was reportedly busted during an early morning search with a pair of earphones and an iPod charger. That?s a big no-no at Rikers Island. According to the New York Daily News, Lil Wayne, who is serving a one-year stint for a gun possession charge, will be charged with an infraction for being in possession of music contraband. They found the items wrapped in foil and hidden in the trash. The big mystery though is that officials were unable to locate the actual mp3 player. There?s no word on how he was able to smuggle the items in and what his penalty would be.
Though Maroon 5?s third album isn?t set to be released until September, the band is already getting ready for a North American tour to celebrate the release. That record better be good! I heard that they locked themselves in a mountain in Switzerland for months working on their new music. The tour kicks off with a concert in Saratoga Springs, New York on July 30 and will wrap up on August 29 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. More tour dates are still being organized. Joining Maroon 5 on tour will be a rotating set of opening acts that include Owl City, Guster, Kris Allen, VV Brown and Ry Cuming.
Miley Cyrus who is 16 at the time is caught dancing with 44-year-old Adam Shankman during a wrap party last summer in Georgia for the movie, ?The Last Song.?
Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus have stepped out together for a ?dinner date? according to reports.
The teen pair headed out for sushi in West Hollywood to talk about ?a side project?, Cyrus said.
Bieber reportedly joked with photographers that the Hannah Montana star was “having fun with me?, Us Magazine reports.
Cyrus declared she was not ?afraid? of the reaction of the teen heart-throb’s legion of fans, after reality star Kim Kardashian reportedly received death threats after spending time with Bieber at the White House Correspondents’ dinner.
Previously, Bieber and Cyrus have both publicly said they weren’t interested in the other. The Baby singer has said that she was ?not my type?. Last March Cyrus commented: ?Bieber fever … I’m not necessarily a fan.?
Even though Katy Perry seems to have taken a title more fitting for this type of idea, Jay-Z is going to have to do with Rihanna for a while. It seems the rapper has had one of his amazing business ideas recently and it involves Rihanna being the ?mascot? for a chain of burlesque clubs. This is what a source said about Jay-Z?s new idea: “All the top people think she’s smoking hot. They’re desperate to make her the face and body of a new burlesque club. Jay sees it as a great business opportunity.” Sure? what woman doesn?t like to have her body exploited for the purpose of profit? Rihanna?s probably going to get a real hoot out of this one, but what of Matt Kemp? How kindly will he take to this idea?
Lindsay Lohan is still working on that whole music career thing and she?s apparently pissed off that someone has been leaking her songs. The disaster of an actress/singer recently posted on her Twitter ?i don’t know who, but someone keeps leaking my tracks! i can assure everyone, it is NOT me.. so i’ve decided to do a music video rather than? let my tracks just go to waste?. need some time to choose a director and such* in regards to ‘can’t stop.’? Then, she decided to post a link to the supposed leaked track. I hope she realized that she?s the only one who actually leaked it considering that no one really cares about her anymore.
Since there is still over a month and a half to go until the third movie from the ?Twilight? saga, ?Eclipse?, hits theaters, fans will have to settle for the upcoming soundtrack to tide them over. It was recently announced that the first single from the movie will be released on May 17th and it will be from the author Stephenie Meyer?s favorite band Muse. The song is called ?Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever). The soundtrack will hit stores on June 8th. I wonder who else will be joining Muse on the track list. Try not to create a stampede while going to get your copy.
The MacGruber soundtrack will hit store shelves on Tuesday, May 18, and Kristen Wiig is lending her vocal chops to a couple of the songs. I especially love the track ?Champion?. It?s 80s style music that?s guaranteed to stay stuck in your head for a long while. The Saturday Night Live comedienne is actually featured in three tracks total. Other songs on the soundtrack are from Toto, The Hives, The Black Keys, Michael Bolton and many more. There are a total of 15 tracks on the album. Go and grab it when it comes out! Kristen?s songs are enough to make you say that it?s worth it.
As it was previously reported, Madonna?s private journal went up for auction ? or at the very least, they used to be. The auction has come to a halt last Monday as the Queen of Pop?s rep convinced eBay that the items rightfully belonged to the singer. The seller is pretty pissed at that. He still claims that the 12 journals, photos and address books are his. He was expecting to rake in at least $2.5 million from the auction. How can he claim that when the previous owner, a former assistant to Madonna, spoke out to not bid on the items? It goes to show you not to mess with Madonna!
Justin Bieber is one lucky guy! Not only did the young pop singer get to throw out the first pitch at the Chicago White Sox game on Monday night, but he also managed to catch a foul ball ? something that most baseball fans dream of and never actually get to do. First baseman Paul Konerko knocked a fould ball into Justin?s suite. But instead of keeping the ball, the heartthrob gave it to a lucky fan. I wonder who the fan got an autograph from for the ball, Paul or Justin. Justin is such a charmer, isn?t he? It must be why a lot of people go crazy for him.
Now here?s a practical spirit! Why mope and whine about something all day when you can just make a song about it. That?s what Kelly Clarkson did about her label and Ryan Tedder who wrote a song for her that was very, very similar to Beyonce?s ?Halo? a while back. Kelly Clarkson?s new song, ?Wash, Rinse, Repeat? addresses that matter and a gander at the lyrics makes it all come out: ?Music from the past, from the present, well just last week / We will change a note and get away with it (wait and see)? Well, isn?t she taking the moral high-ground? one would?ve thought Simon Cowell had taught her better. But hey, if Kelly Clarkson is fed up with her pop career, why spoil the fun?
Well there goes KISS? reputation down the drain. It seems that the band?s front man, Gene Simmons, would like to include Lady GaGa as an honorary member. Here?s why, at least according to him: “I love the vibe, the big mouth and the big visuals. She’s the most exciting thing to happen since us. She’s a female version of us. One of the first things we learned was to treat the audience as the guv’nor. When they buy a ticket they become your boss. We just work here. She realizes that her fans deserve the best you got because they pay your wages.” If we were to overlook the blatant arrogance, which is no easy thing, we?d come across Gene Simmons? view on ?working? for the fans. So it?s just a day-job for KISS it seems? well, Lady GaGa won?t really go for that. For her art is sex and sex is not just a day-job now is it?
Tik Tok star Ke$ha has announced she will perform at a benefit concert in her hometown of Nashville next month following the recent floods.
The 23-year-old is from Nashville herself and will sing at the special flood benefit concert on June 16, at the Limelight.
She said: “I’m thrilled to announce that I will be playing a show to help benefit Nashville, my hometown. One hundred per cent of the profits from ticket sales will go to help the victims of these devastating floods.
“Nashville helped shape me as an artist and as a person and my love for this city is beyond words.
“I will continue to do anything I can to help rebuild this city and support the families and animals who have been affected by this tragedy.”
Who would?ve thought that Jennifer Lopez is not any different from your average person in regards to what she eats? Well, maybe quite a few, but nonetheless the singer and actress recently confirmed these suspicions. This is what Jennifer Lopez said on her eating habits: “Just like anybody I try to watch what I eat – there’s no big science to it, which is what sucks. One of the good tricks is to have a goal – for me it may be getting in shape for a video shoot. The other is portion control. I love to eat everything and you pretty much can – a little piece of something fattening is not going to kill you. It’s when you eat the whole box that it’s going to kill you.” There is an important lesson to be learned here: keep Jennifer Lopez away from boxes of chocolates: they can be very, very hazardous to her health.
And it looks like this time really was the American Idol contestant?s last and very unlucky charm. Aaron Kelly got voted off of American Idol last night since his ?Fly me to the Moon? rendition from Frank Sinatra didn?t manage to convince the audience to well. Ryan Seacrest gave the following words of encouragement for Aaron Kelly: “You are truly an inspiration,” Seeing as how he only made 5th he?s probably an inspiration to Danny Gokey and the like? and that?s not going to stop him from rising in the pop world in a flash. Unfortunately for him, he?s going to have to do it from home and not this season?s American Idol podium.
Well, it?s pretty obvious who the star of last night?s American Idol episode was. A mere glance at Simon Cowell?s comment about Michael Lynche?s performance will be more than an answer to that question: “The first three performance have been OK. Now, with you, that’s all changed. … I actually felt that you listened and that everyone worked together on that performance. … Fantastic. Well done.” It looks like the American Idol contestant really managed to sell Frank Sinatra?s ?The Way You Look Tonight? to the judges? and to the audience from the looks of the Idol Meter. There?s really no doubt now about who?s going to be safe this week.
Bret Michaels? is making lots of progress and his sister Michelle says that the Poison lead singer is ?definitely doing better and was starting to walk a little bit!? She continues ?He?s up and moving but it is not going to surprise me if he is still in the ICU on Friday. I think they?re having a problem really getting the bleed?I think there are some issues?that?s why the back pain. What?s happened is all that blood in his brain is starting to drain and he?s starting to have a lot of back pain. It?s been I can hear it in his voice, I know he?s in a lot of pain?He?s so happy that everybody is pulling for him. The fact that he got medical treatment right away, he went immediately and because there is one of the best neurological centers in America there he was very fortunate and I think he will recover quickly and it wouldn?t surprise me to see him back there sooner than most.? Keep it up Bret!
The MuchMusic Video Awards are definitely bringing in the big guns this year and I bet that they are going to kill it! Not only will Miley Cyrus be co-hosting the show but Katy Perry and Justin Bieber have been added as performers. While I could care less about the Disney teen queen, I cannot wait to see what the ?I Kissed a Girl? singer and the teen pop heartthrob will do to rock the house. The awards will be held on June 20th in Toronto. I?ve already marked my calendar so I don?t forget. Will you be tuning in?
An eBay seller is claiming to have a boatload of Madonna?s personal items, including journals from 1988 to 1992, an address book with famous contacts like Antonio Banderas, Dennis Hopper, Lenny Kravitz, Matt Damon, John Malkovich, Oliver Stone and Al Pacino, as well as personal family pictures. The set, which is now being sold on eBay, is said to have belonged to the Queen of Pop?s personal assistant Melissa Crowe, who worked for the singer from 1987 to 1996. There?s no word yet on how the seller obtained the items but Melissa has told a fan site that she wants the items back and tells fans to not bid on the items. I can only imagine how juicy those journals are.
Pamela Anderson and Nicole Scherzinger went Gaga on Dancing With The Stars.
The Baywatch beauty and Pussycat Doll teamed up for a cha-cha challenge danced to Lady Gaga hit Telephone.
Both stars sizzled in PVC trenchcoats as they appeared on stage with their dancers before ripping them off to reveal skimpy silver-sequinned minis.
Pam got in character with Lady Gaga-inspired gold paint above her eye, while Nicole at times looked like she might lose her top.
Along with their third teammate, American Football star Chad Ochocinco, Team Gaga danced to victory 27-24 over their Team Madonna opponents Niecy Nash, Erin Andrews and Evan Lysacek.
Earlier, Pam had scored her highest points to date with a waltz, earning her and partner Damien Whitewood 24 points.
Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough, also dancing the waltz, managed to get 27 points.
“I just have to say, flat-out, you are by far the best dancer we’ve ever had on this show,? said Carrie Ann Inaba. “You dance almost as Derek’s equal.”
Bruno Tonioli added: “You’re as close to dancing royalty as you can possibly be.?
The highest score in the individual dances, however, was awarded to Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek and his partner Anna Trebunskaya.
“It was just the perfect combination of power, control and sexy in a whole different way!” said Carrie Ann Inaba. Added Bruno Tonioli: “You danced like a true alpha male.?
Here?s an interesting principle that Alicia Keys has and that you might not find at too many artists. Apparently the singer doesn?t like recording a song that she wouldn?t be able to sing live. This is what Alicia Keys said on the matter: “I never use Auto-Tune, or anything like that. I won’t have that software in my life. I don’t mind others using it. But if I can’t sing on my own, then I’m not going to record it.” Well, at least some pop starts still have a bit of decency left in them? too bad for Alicia Keys that she?s part of this dwindling race.
Kid Rock has been rumored to be the host for the CMT Awards and it has been confirmed by the rock singer himself. He said ?The rumors are true ? I?m hosting the CMT Awards live from Nashville on June 9th. All I can promise is I will be awesome.? I can think of more entertaining people but if that?s who they want, I guess I can take it. Although I don?t really think of his as a country artist, Kid Rock won a CMT Award last year for his song ?All Summer Long?. I hope he keeps his promise that the show will be awesome and that it?s not just code for trashy.
