So get ready for The Jonas Brothers v2.0…or so Kevin Jonas’ wife might have us believe. The Jonas Brother’s spouse seems to be pretty excited about the idea of her and her husband starting their own family. This is what Danielle Deleasa said on the matter: ”I cannot wait to be a mom and I know he’s pushing to be a dad.” So it looks like Kevin Jonas actually did manage to beat his brothers to it and be the one to expand the Jonas Clan further. Disney Channel is probably looking forward to him becoming a father too. They’ll probably be very excited about sinking their claws into the fresh new talents.
Nelly Furtado looked glamorous when she arrived for the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007 which was held at the Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany on Thursday. The 28-year old ?Promiscuous? singer looked mighty fantastic in her long blond tresses and brown gown. She looked gorgeous!
Apart from being a winner by looking gorgeous, Nelly also picked up the first award of the night for Album of the Year. When she accepted the award, she said ?I know I always cry but this actually means so much to me. Thank you so much, I love you.?
We love you too Nelly. And congratulations!
I find it amazing that some people that can otherwise be considered child stars can still remain clean cut when they?ve become older. Those Hanson boys are proof of that. They?re such do-gooders. And no, it?s not a bad thing.
Isaac, Taylor and Zach were on a special mission to fight poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa by walking a mile in West Hollywood. The walk was to help raise awareness. It was then followed by a performance by the band of brothers.
After the whole thing, Isaac talked about his recent pulmonary embolism. He was in high spirits and said that he?s ?feeling really, really good?.
Maybe having some of her girls around last week gave her some good luck. Spice Girl Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice, and her partner Maksim Chmerkovkiy danced the Rumba on the performance show of ?Dancing With The Stars? and garnered the first perfect score of the season.
The judges also gave massive props to the dancing duo. Bruno Tonioli said ?That wasn?t a dance, it was a cliffhanger.? Carrie Ann Inaba said that she was mesmerized while Len Goodman said ?That routine was perfected, inspected, dissected, and as far as I?m concerned it won?t be rejected.?
Each judge gave a perfect 10 to Mel B and Maksim.
Disney star Miley Cyrus recently got done with her sold-out opening of the Hannah Montana concert in St. Louis, Missouri this past weekend. This is what $1000 per ticket will get you. And just as she promised, she made the show worth it.
A few days ago, it was announced that her dad Billy Ray Cyrus and the piano player from High School Musical Olesya Rulin will headline Jim Amatulli?s drama ?Flying By?. It?s a story of a business man who risks his marriage, family and fortune to pursue his dream of being in a rock band. I guess now that Miley?s busy with her own music, Billy Ray has to work without his daughter by his side.
Britney Spears? video for her comeback single ?Gimme More? was supposed to premiere Monday on TRL but iTunes beat everyone to it. This is her first video for any single off of her upcoming comeback album which would be dropping on November 13.
In the video, Britney plays ?split personalities?. A dominatrix type wears a leather vest, a studded belt and skimpy panties over ripped fishnet stockings. Now why does that get up sound familiar?
The video, if you could even call it that, has Britney swing around a stripper pole most of the time. It?s supposedly her concept and vision. It was directed by first-timer Jake Sarfaty who was handpicked by Brit.
The judges, as well as the rest of America, have all molded fine musicians in the form of American Idol alumni like Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry and Elliot Yamin. Now, those same judges are setting their eyes on the train wreck that is Britney Spears.
Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul believe they have what it takes to bring back Brit?s career. In an announcement to FOX News, Simon says that to help revive Brit?s career, getting her ?away from her stupid friends? would be the main plan.
Simon continues by saying ?MTV ratings are up and all we’re hearing is Britney, Britney, Britney! She can turn it around.?
It?s unclear whether they want Britney as a guest star or a contestant but honestly, can they bring her career back from the grave she dug in Vegas?
Music mogul Carl Stubner is in a heap of trouble. Two words: Motley Crue. The band is alleging that Stubner scalped free tickets that were given to him when he was managing the rock group.
According to an amended complaint, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars are accusing Stubner of requesting tickets to their concerts and then selling them at scalper prices to get some extra money to flow into his pockets. The band is claiming that he used ?his position and status as a manager? and demanded numerous complimentary tickets per show, which he resold.?
A rep for Sanctuary Group, the management company that Stubner works under, could not be reached for any comment.
You could say that Kenny Chesney, with a top tour, hit after hit and another multiplatinum album, enjoyed an amazing last couple of years ? but you’d be wrong. Yes, he accomplished all that. But, enjoy it? That’s another matter.
2006 was another pinnacle in the seemingly unstoppable career of the country superstar, but it also may have been his most frustrating time as an artist ? and a person.
Chesney was still reeling from his very public breakup of his brief marriage to Academy Award-winner Renee Zellweger (and the tabloid frenzy that followed), and felt particularly uninspired, even when it came to what he loved most ? touring.
“I wasn’t mentally ready to go on the road, after all the media stuff that happened with the breakup with Renee, I just mentally wasn’t ready to go, so all last year, even though I had fun and the whole tour was amazing … mentally I just wasn’t 100 percent there,” he admits.
He was even reluctant to work on a follow-up to his multiplatinum 2005 album, “The Road and the Radio,” which featured such hits as “Beer in Mexico.”
“Last year at the CMA Awards … he said to me, `I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get this record done; I don’t know what I want to say,’” Joe Galante, head of Sony Nashville, recalls Chesney saying.
Galante didn’t want to push his superstar to make a record he wasn’t ready to make. But he told him to take a crack at it, and see if something might give him inspiration.
Just as Galante suspected, the inspiration did come ? though not from the usual sources. Chesney, who has written or co-written tunes for all of his previous albums, found the most personal and profound songs for his new disc, “Just Who I Am: Poets and Pirates,” from the pens of others. The album, on sale Tuesday, doesn’t contain one song written by Chesney. Even so, he considers it perhaps the one that reveals his true emotions more than any other, especially with songs like “Wife and Kids,” where he wistfully yearns for the perfect family life that now eludes him, and “Better as a Memory,” in which he lists his own shortcomings as a mate.
“This record opens me up a little bit more, and I’m letting that happen more and more, and that’s tough for a guy like me, who’s constantly got a wall up,” says the congenial Chesney, relaxing at a Manhattan studio a few hours before a concert at Madison Square Garden.
“There’s a piece of me in all of these songs, there’s a whole lot of me in the majority of them,” he continues. “`Better as a Memory,’ that’s probably one of the most brutally honest songs that I’ve ever recorded about me, and it’s a letter that I’ve probably written to a lot of girls before.”
As Galante puts it: “I think he let people into the issues that are facing him.”
Part of this newfound introspection, and willingness to put more of his emotions out for public dissection, came after Chesney began working with a country great who has endured plenty of triumphs and setbacks in the public eye ? legend Willie Nelson. Chesney is the producer on Nelson’s next record, due out next year.
“Every artist feeds off inspiration, and when I needed it the most, God gave me Willie Nelson,” Chesney says.
When Chesney began working on the album in late 2006, he hadn’t started working on his own record, and admits to feeling “pretty stressed out.”
With all the lip synching, jelly jiggling, bitch slapping, sore-losing and bad fashion at the recently held VMAs, some musicians found time to show us that there?s still good left in the world in the form of their newly ripped hot bodies. Now you can gimme more of that!
Dr. Dre appeared in all his massive rock-hard glory like he was the Fantastic Four?s The Thing. Timbaland is no longer shy about his muscled body and brought sexyback by accentuating his pecks and guns with a little black tank. And Maroon 5?s front man Adam Levine shed his formerly scrawny image when he showed his buff shoulders and biceps in a hipster vest.
Its official–Britney Spears is a lost cause. That performance was horrible!!! And i never did like the song. The only people who will buy her CDs are young out of control teenagers. She didn’t perform at all tonight…where?s all the hype people put behind this? She didn’t dance, gave up on her lip synching, and looked high like she couldn’t figure out if she was coming or going. And where were all the Criss magic acts that people said she was working on with him all those “late nights”. Britney is a JOKE and this just proves it! I told you people out there that these VMAs is the make or break thing for her and it solely depended on her whether she wanted to extend her career or finish it with a lull. And we have it, she?s just slammed the door shut on her making a come back and the people who had even the slightest of interest left in her and her music would now have concluded that Britney is a star of a by gone era and there?s nothing left in her to suggest she can make it back from here.
Scores of bikini-clad babes and bare-chested hunks downing drinks by the pool. Gift suites overflowing with swag, from diamonds and designer jeans to fancy shades and hotel stays. Concerts by Kanye West, 50 Cent, Maroon 5 and Joss Stone for crowds that included Jamie Foxx, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Paris Hilton and Ashlee Simpson.
With the MTV Video Music Awards in town, Sin City took its debauchery and extravagance to a whole new level. The awards, featuring a much-hyped opening number by Britney Spears, are set to air live Sunday from the Palms hotel.
The unpredictable pop star was the talk of the weekend. People bragged about Britney sightings, buzzed about what events she would attend and offered opinions on her chances for a comeback.
Security guards, hotel workers, fans and photographers clamored and jockeyed for position at the mere rumor that Spears would show up at the Venetian hotel’s gifting suite on Saturday. She never showed. But she did stop by the Palms to rehearse her show-opening routine for her new single, “Gimmie More.”
Still, gift suites including the Star Lounge at Hard Rock Hotel and the Style Villa at Caesars Palace were hot destinations Saturday. Eve played X-Box and West kicked back in a poolside cabana at the Venetian. Ludacris and Nelly collected goodies at the Hard Rock. And 50 Cent picked up a $62,000 diamond-encrusted watch at Caesars. Other swag-collecting stars included Jennifer Hudson, Nelly, Lauren Conrad and Lil Jon.
The focus turned from freebies to parties once the sun went down. Christina Aguilera made an appearance at nightclub LAX, Pharrell Williams held a dinner soiree at the Venetian and Maroon 5 and Robin Thicke performed at the House of Blues. Maxim’s bash at Mandalay Bay, which featured an hourlong set by Stone, drew rapper Chamillionaire and “Entourage” stars Adrian Grenier and Kevin Connolly.
The Hard Rock Hotel was packed to capacity as it hosted concerts by West, 50 Cent and Linkin Park. Hilton, Ciara and Mario Lopez took in 50′s poolside show. Spears and Combs dropped by his afterparty before leaving together for nightclub Tao.
Simpson brought two dates to see West perform at Rolling Stone’s 40th anniversary party her dad, Joe Simpson, and her boyfriend, Pete Wentz. Eve and Jermaine Dupri were also on hand to see the set, during which Foxx and rapper T-Pain joined West on stage.
The ever-outspoken West had some less-than-kind words for Spears and MTV.
“I can’t believe she would perform. She hasn’t had a hit record in years,” he said, apparently miffed that MTV didn’t invite him to open the show. “Maybe my money’s not right. Maybe my skin’s not right.”
But producers who worked with Spears on her new album seemed confident she would regain her pop glory.
She will “surprise the world,” said Sean Garrett, who collaborated with the singer on three new tracks.
Besides Spears, 50 Cent, Rihanna, Nelly Furtado, Lil Wayne and Lily Allen are set to perform at the Video Music Awards.
