The new queen of Disney TV, Selena Gomez, has reportedly lost her voice and subsequently has had to cancel a few of her concerts. Fans of the actress/singer in Delaware and Ohio who were hoping to see Selena live were disappointed to find out that she won’t be able to perform at their state fairs due to some strained vocal chords. Unfortunately for the fans in Delaware, arrangements could not be made to reschedule and will instead be offered refunds and a free concert from AllStar Weekend. Those in Ohio were luckier as the state fair officials were able to reschedule the show for November. Get well soon Selena!
Joe Jonas has scored himself some TV time and possibly a new career as the Jonas Brothers singer landed a guest-starring role on the hit TV series ‘Hot in Cleveland’. According to EW, the 20-year old pop star will play Valerie Bertinelli’s son. Joe’s first, and likely not the last, episode will air in August. If he plays his cards right, he’s got himself a new career once the band thing completely tanks and Nick Jonas no longer wants to work with him because he’s too busy being a big Broadway or West End stud. This way, Joe can also keep himself in line and avoid breaking any more hearts.
The music industry better brace itself as it is going to be plagued by new music from Heidi Montag. The reality TV star turned wannabe singer broke the news on her Twitter last week telling her so-called fans “heading into the music studio recording my new single! Steve Morales my music producer moves into my house tomorrow to make my summer album!” I guess that moving in is code for kidnapping and forcing him to produce her music. Kidnapping makes sense considering that I doubt anyone would voluntarily produce her music after what happened with her first album. Why can’t Heidi just crawl into a hole and die?
Security had to dive into action, quite literally might I add, to protect Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian during a photo shoot in the Bahamas last week after a 12-year old rushed the pop singer and the reality TV star on the beach. Sources on the shoot say that security had to dive on the overzealous fan to keep her away from the celebrities. Fortunately, no one was hurt and they eventually let the kid go. There’s no word on whether she was trying to get to Kim or Justin but the duo was with heavy security that day due to previous threats to Kim from jealous fans of Justin’s.
News came out last week that a contestant who made the Top 24 on American Idol was given the boot because he was supposedly ineligible to participate. Information has come out that Chris Golightly got shafted! The reality TV competition show?s producers received an email shortly after it was announced that the aspiring singer made the Top 24 from his manager saying that he was under contract with another studio, thus his disqualification. The thing is, Chris isn?t under contract as the deal was terminated a month before he auditioned for AI. His manager called the very same day to clear up the mix up but a new contestant had been chosen to replace him by then.
It hasn?t even been a week since Simon Cowell announced his departure from American Idol and people are already speculating about who should take his place. The latest rumor to come out from the reality TV talent show?s set is that Elton John could be taking over for Simon. I like this idea way better than Ryan Seacrest pulling double duty. Plus, the iconic singer has some experience as he sat in as a guest judge back in season 3. However, Elton?s camp was quick to squash the rumor saying that the musician is way too busy to be able to commit to such a deal.
America?s attention was captivated when American Idol?s latest season premiered this past Tuesday. The ninth season of the reality TV talent show kicked off with a bang with the premiere episode drawing almost 30 million viewers to the network. Although the numbers have yet to reach the same heights as the show?s fifth season, Fox was actually prepared for the worst. Considering the exit of fan favorite judge Paula Abdul, the network assumed that the ratings share would go way down compared to last year?s numbers. It may not have happened now but it?s bound to happen next year when Simon Cowell will no longer be part of the show ? if there will still be a show that is.
The next season of American Idol is shaping up to be a good one. The reality TV talent show is back on the air on January 12 for a 2-night, 4-hour premiere event featuring the auditions from Boston and Atlanta. They have quite a star-studded guest judge list to boot! Not only is Ellen DeGeneres taking over for Paula Abdul for the whole season but Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Kristin Chenoweth, Neil Patrick Harris, Joe Jonas, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry and Shania Twain will be guest judges throughout the season. I am definitely looking forward to this new season!
Josh Groban made a memorable, albeit brief, appearance on ?Glee? this season, but according to the singer, we haven?t seen the last of him on the musical TV show. Josh has confirmed that he will be returning to the series before the season is out, saying ?I think I?m going to come back and do one more episode. And we?ll see what happens.? He admits that he?s eager to return because he loves to do comedy and he loved working with the cast, sharing ?I had a great time with that cast, coming from a theater background. It?s so nice to see so many theater actors being hired for mainstream television. And also, being a member of the choir club as a kid, just to see that group of people being represented in mainstream culture is really, really so great.?
With talks of a tour and musical, all that?s left for the Spice Girls is some TV work and it looks like they?re heading that was too. According to reports, the members of the band are planning a reality/talent show to find versions of themselves for the Spice Girls musical. The band?s former manager and mastermind and owner of the Idol shows, Simon Fuller, is helping with the idea. A source said ?It’s a fantastic new way to broaden out the Spice franchise and cash in on their personalities, their story and their songs. The girls would have to work intensely on a TV show for a short period of time. But they then launch a musical which could run for months or even years. It will take on a life of its own. The concept could even be replicated in other countries. The sky is the limit with this one.?

The cast of ?Glee? got the go-ahead from Major League Baseball to perform during the World Series! The game will be in either Los Angeles or Philadelphia, depending on whether the Dodgers of the Phillies end up in the World Series. The TV show?s cast will be singing during Game 3 which as of now is scheduled for Halloween. Take that NBC! They?ll probably have more viewers during the game than if they were in the Macy?s Thanksgiving Day Parade anyway. I can?t wait to hear their rendition on the National Anthem. I wonder if there?s going to be any choreography involved in their performance.
American TV hosts could not contain their excitement about X Factor’s Danyl Johnson as they played his stunning audition on their show.
Johnson got his own segment on NBC’s Today Show, in which he was compared to overnight British singing sensation Susan Boyle.
Johnson wowed judge Simon Cowell and has since become an internet sensation after his audition was posted on YouTube.
The Today Show is now reportedly trying to land Johnson for a performance on its hugely popular morning show.
“He does seem to have great range, but he also has this incredible presence,” said co-host Matt Lauer.
“If you want to go online and watch his whole audition, it is just extraordinary, his presence onstage and how he captivated the audience and judges.”
Johnson was hailed by Cowell as the best first audition he had ever seen when he performed a rendition of a Beatles track, With A Little Help From My Friends.
Now Johnson is being tipped as a favourite to win the talent show.

Entertainment author and TV host Robin Leach recently posted a disturbing blog entry about Michael Jackson?s final days. According to Robin?s source, two nights before the sudden passing of the King of Pop, Michael was ?in a high state of stress and emotional drama, fearing that he would never be able to complete the 50-concert run in London, and it would kill him.? The singer was hoping that AEG would let him perform the concert as a ?one-night world spectacular? with simulcasts in theaters and arenas around the world as well as a subsequent CD and DVD release. AEG told Michael that the show must go on, even though the singer reportedly said at his last rehearsal ??We can’t go on. I’ll never make all 50. It will kill me.? With the rejection of his proposed plan, Michael became ?more stressed than he’d ever been in his life? and wrestled with insomnia. The source believes that this is what drove Michael to seek out the strong sedatives found in his home.
