Posted in Chris Brown, Concert, Tickets Sale on the November 9, 2009
Chris Brown’s upcoming comeback tour is turning out to be a flop in sales. Tickets went on sale last week and insiders are saying that the numbers were utterly pathetic. I could have told them that even before the tickets went out. Last year, the R&B singer was selling out 20,000 seat arenas and now, he can’t even sell out 1000-2500 seat venues. Every concert date listed on Ticketmaster still has a lot of seats available. I have a feeling that a huge part of this tour, if not the whole tour itself, is going to end up cancelled. It’s obvious that no one is welcoming him back with open arms that easily.
Posted in Amy Winehouse on the November 6, 2009
The singer was recently spotted coming out of a surgery in London and thank the heavens for those bloodsucking leeches called paparazzi for they managed to take a few pictures as well. It seems Amy Winehouse has made some new improvements on herself: she has pumped up her lips… no doubt to pucker up with Blake whenever they’re having one of their dates. Is Amy Winehouse going to go on a tour or something? What’s with all the body tweaking? Who is she trying to impress? Or maybe it’s a present from daddy Winehosue to lay off the meetings with Blake.
Posted in Chris Brown, Rihanna on the November 3, 2009
She just couldn’t hold it in any longer, could she? Well, she did make it on the front cover. It seems that even though a talk about “the event” with Rihanna was promised for Thursday morning, the singer took the opportunity to spill her guts in Glamour magazine where she did an interview in which she talked about the whole Chris Brown-related incident. When asked about how it had changed her, Rihanna replied the following: I’m stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t even know, like fans.” Yes, woe unto the fans of Rihanna for now they have to put up with her not-so satisfying new music. Chris Brown definitely managed to really hit a soft spot there!
Posted in Chris Brown, Rihanna on the October 22, 2009
The singer has recently given an interview in which he apparently tries to reason with everybody that what he did was perfectly natural and excusable. Here’s what Chris Brown said about himself: I’m human. If people feel a certain way, I’m not going to say they’re wrong. But it’s not right to judge somebody when people make mistakes all the time. I’ve learned from my mistakes and I’m learning from them. And I regret every moment, every second of it.” Heartening as his words are, Chris Brown seems to be overlooking one small detail: everybody loves judging everybody else. So, if he messed up, he should be sure it’ll be on his rap sheet for a long, long time… but, no need to worry, that’s what makes the lesson all the more valuable;
Posted in Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Twitter, iTunes on the October 16, 2009
Chris Brown has slowly been working his way back into the music world. The 20-year old R&B singer’s recent single ‘I Can Transform Ya’ featuring Lil Wayne has been doing well and his 2008 hit ‘Forever’ managed to work its way back to the top spot on the iTunes R&B chart. A new single called ‘So Cold’ was also just leaked onto the internet earlier this week and Chris went on his Twitter to talk about it saying “OMG as you all know a song leaked today from my album called so cold.. im a lil upset but i pray my album doesnt leak..” I hope it does so no one has to buy it and his album will be a sales flop.
Posted in Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Twitter on the September 10, 2009
Chris Brown recently announced that his song ‘Transformer’ featuring Lil Wayne will be the first single off of his upcoming new album called ‘Graffiti’. The 20-year old R&B singer also wrote on his Twitter about the album saying “Graffiti!!!! Comin soon…. Just finished it…hands down … My best album… That’s all I’mma give away right now… I honestly don’t think the game is ready for the recordz I got coming off the new album…. (not tryna be cocky)!!!! LOL.” A release date for his new album has yet to be announced. I could care less if it comes out in the next 20 years.

Vibe magazine originally shut down in June when its previous owners couldn’t find any new buyers or a way to get rid of their debt. However, the hip hop and R&B magazine has proven that miracles can happen as it will soon make its comeback. The magazine was purchased this month by a group led by a private equity fund, InterMedia Partners. To bring back the magazine, they’ve chosen Jermain Hall as its editor in chief of Vibe and its website. According to the co-chief executive of the Vibe Lifestyle Network, Vibe’s website would provide info on urban music and entertainment on a “regular, daily, hourly, by-minute basis” while the print magazine would focus on more investigative style
Posted in Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, Rihanna, Video on the August 26, 2009
Chris Brown filmed a cameo in Keri Hilson’s new ‘Slow Dance’ music video in Los Angeles last week. The 20-year old R&B singer seems to be taking the slow route when it comes to attempting to make a comeback by only taking on very little appearances and cameos. Chris is expected to be back in court for sentencing this week for assaulting Rihanna after a party earlier this year. Maybe that’s why he’s still keeping his schedule light. Recently, a new track from Chris, called ‘Changed Man’, was leaked and people believe that this was some sort of apology for the Barbadian beauty.
Posted in American Idol, Danny Gookey on the June 30, 2009
The former American Idol contestant has recently produced a video in which he is promoting his home state of Milwaukee. After describing the cultural diversity of the state and all the wonderfully attractive tourist attractions, Danny Gokey ends his video with the earth-shattering words “You will not be disappointed.” Most likely not, just like the folks in Milwaukee weren’t disappointed with Danny Gokey’s performance on American Idol. But hey, at least it seems to be getting them some positive publicity and who knows, it might all actually turn up a big tourist number soon. Danny Gokey’s popularity is most likely going to be on the rise after this. Is it sheer coincidence that a new American Idol tour is coming up, a tour at which he will be participating?
Posted in Glastonbury, Music Festivals on the June 26, 2009
The band who will be performing at the famous Glastonbury festival has apparently requested that they be provided with a recording studio on their tour bus while at the festival so that they will be able to continue making their musical genius available to the world. A source said the following about the Black Eyed Peas’ requests: “The band are so excited about performing at Glastonbury. They love to be able to remix and make new tracks wherever they go so they have demanded they have a mini studio on their bus to capture the moment.” This is all probably because will.i.am is expecting inspiration to kick in regarding the small talks he and their manager had with Perez Hilton. And this is how new singles are born it seems.
Posted in Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey on the June 22, 2009
Mariah Carey has a new single out called ‘Obsessed’. It is being reported that the song was written about Eminem. I don’t hate it but I don’t like it either. The lyrics are good but the music is pretty boring and nothing to get excited about. The song also has that urban feel. Mariah Carey needs to go back to making pop music and stop trying so hard with the hip hop R&B genre. If she really wants to try something new, maybe she could go for dance music. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry do have some of the hottest music on radio right now and look what their genre is. Mariah should take some notes.
Posted in Chris Brown, Rihanna on the June 22, 2009
The singer who is going to testify against her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, who assaulted her earlier this year, will be doing so behind closed doors. It seems that Rihanna’s testimony will not be televised so we won’t be able to see what she’s going to say about what Chris Brown did. Oh well, guess we’ll have to settle for the press release… but it’s just not fair! It’s not fair that so many of Rihanna’s fans will not get the chance to see her slander her former boyfriend. But then again, why not be good Christians about this and consider the fact that this will be a lot easier on poor Chris Brown who has a lot on his shoulders lately.
Posted in Rihanna on the June 17, 2009
A man by the name of Christian Moeller, who apparently lives next door to the famous singer’s rented LA mansion, is suing Rihanna because she allows cars that go to her driveway to drive right over Mr. Moeller’s lawn and ruin it. Also, the cars apparently get abandoned on Christian Moeller’s estate. Really now? Considering the kind of cars the people who would visit Rihanna would have, does Christian Moeller really want to go through a lengthy lawsuit when he can just collect these probably not very small consolation prizes? After all, if the cars get abandoned, it’s clear that nobody really wants them anymore, isn’t it?
Posted in X Factor on the June 17, 2009
The winner of the X-Factor is apparently going to spend the fabulous sum of seventy five thousand dollars on her welcome home party when she returns to the UK. A source said the following about Alexandra Burke’s upcoming bash: “Alex hasn’t been home for months after working on her album, which is due out in the autumn. Her family can’t wait for her to get back and want to celebrate with the mother of all parties.” Ah, so it’s not just Alexandra Burke that will be spending on the party, but the whole family. Bring on the keg and let the good times roll, after all, it’s not everyday an X-Factor winner returns to the UK.
Posted in R&B, Usher on the June 15, 2009
The famous rapper apparently hasn’t lived together with his wife Tameka Foster for around a year and divorce papers have been filled recently. A source said the following about the impending doom of Usher’s marriage: “They haven’t lived together for nearly a year after almost two years of marriage. Usher’s primary concern is for his children. He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them.” Yes, that is true! Usher is definitely doing the right thing for his children. What child doesn’t want to grow up in a family of divorcees? Still, considering how much Usher seems to be around home lately, they’re probably already getting used to it.
Posted in Katie Price, Peter Andre on the June 15, 2009
The model recently admitted that she has finally found the opportunity to get over her husband, or soon to be former husband, Peter Andre. And this opportunity seems to have come in the form of her son’s fourth birthday party. Katie Price said the following about what her relationship to Peter Andre is now: “I’m so over Pete. This has been all about moving on with my life. The party was all about me, my friends and the kids, nothing else. Upsetting got in the way. It’s a chance for me to let my hair down after a very sad few weeks. It’s been the perfect medicine.” Yes, partying… it’s the perfect way to get over stuff… well, actually to burry it, but hey, Katie Price must know what she’s doing. Hopefully Peter Andre won’t be too devastated about this either and he’ll find some nice bar where he can “deal with his emotions”.

Peter Andre wants to reunite with Katie Price:
The singer has recently also released another statement in which he says that he would like to reunite with Katie Price, even though he still does not think too highly of her. Peter Andre said: “I left Kate because at times she behaved like a complete tart, but this isn’t just about her or me. The most important thing in our lives are our children. It would be best if we were reunited.” It seems that now the publicity problem was dealt with, Peter Andre wishes to once again bring balance to his universe. Still, it is a tad too soon to be reorganizing things, it kind of makes the publicity theory more possible. Or was Peter Andre expecting every one to be too surprised to notice?

The famous hip-hop star and the R&B singer are apparently very much in love with each other. Swizz Beats said the following about his new relationship with Alicia Keys: “What we have is so precious. But we’re nowhere ready for a baby or a ring.” True, very wise words on Swizz Beats’ behalf… after all, what precious thing comes with those kinds of commitments, especially considering the bitter divorce Swizz Beats is facing. He’s probably not going to be pulling that stunt too soon, but for now, Alicia Keys is his own little precious charm. The only question that remains is for how long this will be a reality.
Posted in Music on the May 13, 2009
Mitch Winehouse, father of the famous troubled singer, is very worried about his daughter’s new alcohol related problems and the fact that they may lead to serious consequences. He said the following about Amy Winehouse’s new bad habits: “After she almost died twice from drug related problems, to see her walking, smiling - she has progressed so much. But now, if it’s alcohol instead of hard drugs - I don’t think I can go through that again. I’ve decided to distance myself, and whatever happens, happens. It’s her life. It’s her career. It’s her decision.” Considering what happened at the Jazz Festival, Amy Winehouse probably doesn’t have many decisions to make regarding her career. But why worry? She’s young, she probably has a strong liver… in time, she will probably see that alcohol is not the way.

And the race continues with the three contestants apparently vying for something of a draw so as to keep the competition flowing on and on. It seems Danny Gookey is not about to let the others get the better of him so he goes for Billy Preston’s “You are so beautiful”… after many consultations with his mentors. It proves to be a wise choice as Danny Gookey gets the chance to show off his vocal abilities. Randy Jackson said: “You showed you are here because you can really, really, REALLY sing.” Simon Cowell remains the ever heartless skeptic, but he also commends Danny Gookey’s vocal abilities. So far, it looks like the three contestants might actually make a pretty decent band if they team up… but, sadly they’re going to have to rip each other’s guts out vying for first place.
