Pitbull Talks Lindsay Lohan

Pitbull had posted a 3-minute interview on his official website PlanetPit.com where he shares his thoughts on the lawsuit that Lindsay Lohan filed against him. The actress is suing the rapper over a lyric in his hit song “Give Me Everything” which, according to Lindsay, disparages her name. He didn’t really have to explain himself but my hat’s off to him for doing so. Pitbull said “When I mention Lindsay Lohan in the record it’s really a positive message. When I say I got it locked up, if you play at the park, if you from the neighborhood, when they say you got it locked up, that means you run that area.” He even invited Lindsay to come with him to the VMAs where he will be hitting the stage with Ne-Yo to perform the song.

New from Selena Gomez – Love You Like a Love Song

The official second single to come off of Selena Gomez’s upcoming third album “When the Sun Goes Down”, which is out on June 28th, has been revealed to be “Love You Like a Love Song”. The Rock Mafia-produced track sees the 18-year old pop singer/actress return to her dance influenced ways from “A Year Without Rain”. If you loved the track “Round and Round” from that album, you’ll love “Love You Like a Love Song”. It’s catchy, sassy, well-produced and will make you bop around. Selena is bringing her A-game with this new album of hers. I’m not the biggest fan of hers but even I can admit that.

Beyonce Covers Dazed & Confused

Beyonce is featured on the cover of the July issue of Dazed & Confused magazine. The summer music special features the 29-year old R&B singer/actress in what the magazine calls “a scorching hot trailer park fantasy”. When asked about taking her little time away from the music industry, Beyonce said “I needed some time to live. I’ve been signed to the same label since I was 12 years old and never had more than a month and a half off since I was 13. I’ve worked so hard for so many years and just felt like, ‘Well, why not?’” She definitely deserved that break but it’s also great to see and hear her new music.

New Video from Moby – The Day

Moby is back with the music video for his song “The Day”. The track is the first single to come off of the singer’s upcoming album “Destroyed”, which is due out on May 16th. In the video, the very beautiful actress Heather Graham stars as an angelic nurse. The visual is also loaded with some very spiritual images depicting the battle between good and evil for a dying woman’s soul. That’s pretty deep. I usually don’t understand any of Moby’s videos but this one is definitely an interesting watch. Check out the video and tell me what you think of it.

Amber Riley Covers Adele on the Glee episode “Night of Neglect”

Amber Riley recently took to her webcam to cover Adele’s new single “Someone Like You”. The “Glee” actress also took to her Twitter to express her thoughts on the British singer and her song, saying “I don’t care who sings it, NO ONE can sing an Adele song like ADELE, she is perfect :) but I’m glad you guys liked my version too….” Amber isn’t the only “Glee” star to cover the likes of Adele though. Last night’s episode of the hit TV show saw Gwyneth Paltrow take on “Turning Tables”. Both of them did stellar jobs on their covers but I agree with Amber, no one can sing an Adele song like Adele.Check the Season 2 Episode 17 of Glee episode titled “Night of Neglect.”

Foo Fighters on SNL

The Foo Fighters were the music guests on this past weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live, which saw Oscar award winning actress Helen Mirren as host. The American rock band took the stage to perform some tracks from their album “Wasting Light”, namely the lead single “Rope” and “Walk”. It was a solid effort and it looks like their appearance on SNL has paid off as their album has since gotten back in the top 10 on the US iTunes. I’ve always been a fan of the Foo Fighters so I’m really happy that they’re garnering success for their current record.

Miley Cyrus on SNL

Miley Cyrus poked fun at herself and a few other headline-making celebrities during her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. The Disney singer/actress addressed her previous controversies singing “There’s a photo of me being kissed by some dude and [photographer] Annie Leibovitz trying to get me nude. For those of you who think that’s very crude, I’m sorry that I’m not perfect.” In another verse, she pokes fun at Lindsay Lohan and Tiger Woods, singing “I never stole a necklace or got a DUI. Never cheated on my wife like that golfer guy. So what you can see a little boob from the side? I’m sorry I’m not perfect.” Kristen Wiig and Bobby Moynihan also chimed in, saying “You didn’t make a dirty tape and pass it along. You didn’t text a photo of your dong.” To which Miley replied “Don’t both of these things seem worse than a bong?” Epic. She also did an impersonation of Justin Bieber in a skit.

New Video from Jennifer Hudson – Where You At

Grammy and Oscar award-winner Jennifer Hudson recently premiered the official music video for her latest single “Where You At”. The R Kelly-written ballad is the first offering from the singer/actress’ upcoming sophomore album called “I Remember Me”, which is due to come out on March 22. At first I just thought that it was a pretty song but I really fell in love with it after seeing Jennifer’s live performances of it. Those diva notes are no joke. As for the visual, it’s cool. It’s a bit boring at some points but it’s well shot and the locations were amazing.

Lea Michele to Sing at Super Bowl

Fox really wants all “Glee” fans to watch the Super Bowl this year as it has recently been announced that actress Lea Michele will be singing “America the Beautiful” during the pre-game festivities of this year’s big event. Following the TV star’s lead will be pop singer Christina Aguilera who will sing the National Anthem. It sounds like a diva off to me. I wonder whose set of pipes will grab the hearts of the nation more. I think it’s a pretty tough call but if Christina messes up, she’s going to live with it for the rest of her life.

Miley Cyrus? Camp Knew about Bong Video

Sources are saying that Miley Cyrus? handlers knew all about the bong video weeks ago and did everything they could to bury it, including buying off several students. According to sources, a college student contacted one of the Disney actress/singer?s reps to ask if they were willing to make an exchange for their copy of the video. Money was discussed but in the end, they settled for an exchange of hardware ? an old MacBook Pro for a brand new one. After that, another student made a similar trade-off for another copy of the video. There could be numerous other trade-offs that aren?t known but we all know that in the end, the video still came out.
