Rihanna’s New man
Posted in Dating, Rihanna on the November 20, 2009
Rihanna is reportedly dating someone new and it’s being said that it’s ‘90210’ actor Tristan Wilds. He was a very important guest at a party in the singer’s Los Angeles home that the Barbadian babe was throwing to say goodbye to her friends before heading off to London last week. An insider said “No one knew why Tristan was there initially, because it was not an industry party — it was very intimate. But everyone quickly realized they weren’t meeting for the first time, because they were openly affectionate for everyone to see…He’s a real gentleman. She likes him a lot, and it shows. From the moment he walked into her party, Rihanna lit up.”
Lady Gaga Talks Beyonce
Posted in Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Video on the November 20, 2009
The music video for the song ‘Video Phone’ starring Beyonce and Lady Gaga is out and it is hot! The princess of pop recently spoke to MTV about working with Beyonce, saying “She is such a beautiful person. I had kind of lost faith a little bit in meeting artists in the business – and then I met Beyonce.” If you got what the singer was saying, she pretty much gave some mad props to her fellow artist. I wonder how Beyonce feels about that and what she has to say about Lady Gaga. Then again, I highly doubt there’s anyone who can say a bad thing about her.
Janet Jackson Flash Mob
Posted in Janet Jackson, Singer on the November 19, 2009
Flash mobs usually pay homage to musicians who are no longer with us, or at least the ones who aren’t right there. However, the Janet Jackson flash mob that went down last weekend had a very special guest – the singer herself. It wasn’t all a coincidence though. It was actually all to promote her greatest hits album which comes out on Tuesday. It was still pretty cool though. The mob busted out some of her most famous choreography and were also dressed in some of her most recognizable clothes. I bet she was entertained by all of that. I want my own flash mob!
Rihanna Talks New Album
Posted in Rihanna, new album on the November 19, 2009
Rihanna recently went around Europe on a promotional tour for her forthcoming album called ‘Rated R’. The 21-year old singer recently spoke to the Associated Press about her album, saying that it is a real reflection of who she is. The Barbadian babe said “I feel like my fans, they knew me, they knew what I looked like, but they didn’t really know what my personality was. But I wanted to give them more of who I really was because I feel like that was a connection I was missing.” ‘Rated R’ will be hitting stores this coming Monday, November 23.
Taylor Swift Talks Taylor Lautner
Posted in Actors, Dating, Taylor Swift on the November 18, 2009
In the December issue of InStyle magazine, Taylor Swift discusses her love of the single life and her fondness of ‘Twilight’ star Taylor Lautner. The country singer said “He and I have gotten really close. It would be confusing on the set with two Taylors in the same scene. They were like, ‘Taylor, on your mark – no, not you, the other one!’ So halfway through the shoot, I said, ‘How about you guys call me Swifty and call him Taylor?’” The actor seems to be fond of her too as he said “Taylor is hilarious. It was definitely not hard to play her love interest.”
Lady Gaga Talks Art
Posted in Lady Gaga on the November 18, 2009
Lady Gaga played a pink piano at the MOCA New 30th Anniversary Gala at LA’s Museum of Contemporary Art this past weekend. The 23-year old singer performed her new song ‘Speechless’ alongside Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli while members of Russia’s Bolshoi ballet troupe danced to the music. The pop princess talked about the performance to the Wall Street Journal saying “For me, art is a lie, and the artists are there to create lies we kill when we make it true. Francesco and I were like warriors on stage, trying to make a true moment. Art is life, life is art. The question is, what came first?”
Britney Spears on iPhone
Posted in Britney Spears, Concert on the November 17, 2009
Britney Spears went crazy on Twitter this past weekend as she kept hyping us about this amazing new iPhone application of hers. The app has several features, including a ‘Be Britney’s Dancer’ feature which places your face over one of the pop star’s dancers and something called ‘The Sparkler’ that you’re supposed to activate when you go to one of the singer’s concerts. It sparkles. The best part about it is it also yells out “It’s Britney, bitch!” when you shake your phone! That’s a riot! It also gives you updates on what’s going on with the life of Britney.
Lady Gaga on Discount
Posted in Concert, Concert Tour, Lady Gaga on the November 15, 2009
Lady Gaga knows exactly what’s going on in the world and that’s why the pop princess has plans on bringing each and everyone a little bit of joy by releasing a reasonably-priced standard version of her new album ‘The Fame Monster’. The singer said in a statement “In the midst of my creative journey composing The Fame Monster, there came an exciting revelation that this was in fact my sophomore album. I would not add, nor take away any songs from this EP. It is a complete conceptual and musical body of work that can stand on its own two feet. It doesn’t need The Fame… We may have an economy, but music has no economy. I will release four or more singles from The Fame Monster, tour the world with the Monster Ball Tour and most importantly, I insist on honoring my fans with an affordable new album, an album that is as loyal to them, as they have been me.”
Rihanna’s Rider
Posted in Concert, Rihanna on the November 14, 2009
Rihanna’s concert tour rider has been revealed, all thanks to The Smoking Gun. The 21-year old Barbadian singer requests for a lot to be in her dressing room but at least they’re not over the top. Among the things listed on her rider as 24 buffalo wings with hot sauce on the side, 1 whole roasted chicken spiced with jerk season and cut into parts and steamed white rice, 1 bag of good quality tortilla chips, 1 small bag of salted plantain chips, and 1 bag of fire hot crunchy Cheetos brand cheese doodles. The rider also says that Rihanna may ask for hard boiled eggs, turkey bacon and turkey sausage at any time throughout the day so organizers better be prepared. It’s obvious she loves food.
Taylor Swift Makes CMA History
Posted in Award, Taylor Swift on the November 13, 2009
At 19 years old, Taylor Swift rocked the Country Music Association Awards this past Wednesday by winning all 4 awards for which she was nominated and making her the youngest person and first female solo act to win the Country Music Association’s entertainer of the year award. The golden girl of a singer said “I’ll never forget this moment because in this moment everything that I have ever wanted has just happened to me. Every single person in that category let me open up for them this year. Thank you all so much. I love you.” Taylor brought her band on stage to help her celebrate and her father was shown crying in the audience. Congratulations!
Mariah Carey Finally Gets It
Posted in Mariah Carey on the November 13, 2009
Mariah Carey has released a new song. And with that release, I can unofficially say that her mediocre streak has finally come to an end. ‘100%’ was written for the singer’s Oscar-worthy new film ‘Precious’. And as much as I hate to say it, I like the song. No, scratch that. I absolutely love the song. It’s too bad that whoever chose this song to be sung by her and to be part of the film wasn’t the same person who was working on what songs to put on her album too. I’m sure whoever that guy was could have made a world of difference with the way her music career is going if he was.
Susan Boyle Talks Breakdown
Posted in Britain’s Got Talent, susan boyle on the November 13, 2009
Once she got her break on Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle had no idea that it would lead to a breakdown. After going into a clinic to fight stress and anxiety, the singer is finally talking about what drove her over the edge. Susan said “There were phone calls 24 hours a day. They kept me awake for three weeks, until I changed my number. It was constant. There were a lot of press people outside my door, a lot of television people, a lot of people who wanted a piece of me. It got to the stage where I couldn’t even go outside because the media — American television crews, too — surrounded the house. It was like being inside a giant pressure cooker, where the lid bubbles up and bubbles up and soon the pressure cooker goes. Everything had built up, and I was exhausted. You have to understand, my life ceased to be normal.”
Britney Spears is Upset with Australia
Posted in Britney Spears, Concert on the November 13, 2009
Britney Spears’ first tour in Australia continues to feel the heat and it’s making the pop star upset. After being criticized by the media for lip synching and reports of fans walking out of her concert, the singer’s tour promoter quickly came to her defense saying “Britney is aware of all this and she’s extremely upset by it. She’s a human being. I’m embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting.” Britney has always lip synched her performance and everyone is aware of that. So what’s with all the fuss?
Kris Allen Video
Posted in Adam Lambert, American Idol, Kris Allen, Video on the November 13, 2009
American Idol champ Kris Allen recently debuted the music video for his single ‘Live Like We’re Dying’. The 24-year old singer told PopEater “It was cool because we actually shot it in the desert in L.A. in the middle of nowhere in this junkyard. I’m pulling the big cord through the junkyard…then I plug in the clock and it starts counting down to zero. It was my first video, so I was really trying to have a great time.” Kris’ self-titled debut album will be in stores next week, November 17, Tuesday. Unlike Adam Lambert, Kris’ debut seems to be doing well enough.
Steven Tyler Leaves Aerosmith
Posted in Music, Rock on the November 13, 2009
Several sources are claiming that Steven Tyler has quit his job as the lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith. The musician has encountered a slew of injuries this year, including a broken shoulder in August and guitarist Joe Perry says that they have not been in contact for a full month after the accident. Joe informed reporters that Steven has “quit as far as I can tell”, further explaining “I don’t know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.” Joe also says that Aerosmith still has plans to continue even without their mouth and will look for a new singer.
Lady Gaga Talks Gossip Girl
Posted in Lady Gaga on the November 12, 2009
There’s very little to be heard of Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated appearance on ‘Gossip Girl’. Apart from the cast confirming that the singer will be on the show, they remained coy about the details. Now, there are details from the pop princess herself. During a recent interview, Lady Gaga talked about her cameo, saying “I hate TV series performances, because they kind of come in out of nowhere, and everyone’s, like, really into the story, and then all of a sudden somebody breaks into song. And it has nothing to do with the storyline, and then it screws everything up. I really sat down with the writers. I was like, ‘Look, I want to do this, and the reason I want to do this is because I am trying to say something that is not mainstream in a mainstream capacity. So, if I can say it on your show, that would be, like, a real coup d’état for me as a performance artist.’”
Rihanna to Give Worldwide Live Performance
Posted in Live, Rihanna on the November 12, 2009
With Rihanna’s album ‘Rated R’ being released on November 23rd, the singer and her camp are doing everything to ensure it’s a success, especially after the mixed reaction to the first few singles. The Barbadian babe has teamed up with Nokia to help with promotions. On November 16th, Nokia will stream a live performance of Rihanna in London for fans to get an exclusive first listen of her album. The event will allow viewers to preview her tracks from the new record with the whole thing being done in a secret location. In addition, Nokia will also offer an exclusive version of the album via the Nokia Music store. Rihanna said of the partnering, “I am so excited to partner up with Nokia. They are doing some really revolutionary things with this album, enabling me to reach more fans than ever before.”
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz glad she made hubby Pete Wentz work hard to get her
Posted in Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz on the November 10, 2009
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has revealed that her husband Pete Wentz had to really up his game to get her to go out with him.
The 25-year-old mum-of-one said: “He worked hard to get me, let me tell you. But I’m glad he did… He’s my best friend in the world and he’s an amazing dad.”
The actress - who is to be written out of Melrose Place - also spoke about getting back into shape after giving birth to their son Bronx Wentz in November 2008, adding that she didn’t follow the Hollywood trend by rushing to lose the baby weight.
She said: “I wasn’t in a rush to get back to this body for anyone else. It was more like: ‘I wanna look good [for me]. I wanna feel good’.”
When it came to losing the weight, the actress tried a home-delivery meal plan, but soon fell off the wagon.
“It was hard,” she said, “because I’m an eater. If I want a grilled cheese sandwich, I’ll eat a grilled cheese sandwich.”
She also insisted that, despite her slim frame, she loves curves and fiercely supports her sister Jessica, who has been criticised for her voluptuous figure.
“It’s disgusting that people would say those things. My sister has an incredible body,” she said.
“What defines sexy is not someone’s weight.”
Chris Brown’s Comeback Attempt a Failure
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.
Leona Lewis Performs First Show Since Attack
Posted in Concert, Leona Lewis on the November 6, 2009
Leona Lewis gave a fantastic performance at her first solo gig in London on Monday, for which she got a standing ovation for. The singer spoke to the audience to thank them for their support, saying “I just want to say thank you so much for coming to support me. The first time I ever performed here I was 13 so it seemed fitting for me to come back here.” The concept for her concert was amazing too! Leona appeared on stage in a black hooded cape with large images of herself projected on a see-through screen. Congratulations on the success of your solo show!
