Amy Tumbles Down Again

Amy Tumbles Down Again

And here I thought she was already on the right path and walking the straight and narrow. It was too good to be true. Amy Winehouse still needs to get her life together and fast!

The ‘Rehab’ singer had a concert in Zurich a few nights ago and it was a complete turnaround from her Amsterdam show. To say that it was a complete disaster would be putting it gently. She was constantly drinking on stage, was crying all the time and she could hardly sing her songs.

A lot of people reportedly left her show 20 minutes into it. Now that’s just sad.

Big & Rich: Big Haters

Big & Rich: Big Haters

Country music superstar John Rich of the band Big & Rich believes that gays and lesbians are merely second class citizens that do not deserve to be granted equal rights. It’s not really any news, I just think it’s sad and so close-minded.

The Tennessean got an interview with him and John said he is a supporter of Fred Thompson’s presidential bid because he is a conservative who agrees with Fred’s voting record of being pro-life and being against gay marriage. John told the paper, “I think if you legalize that, you’ve got to legalize some other things that are pretty unsavory.”

Stop the hate!

Greatest Hits - Sara Evans

Greatest Hits - Sara Evans

Sara Evans wasted no time getting back to what she does best in the music game after her divorce. While it’s true that this is a compilation released just a week after the messy event was final, this set arrived and four of its 14 cuts are new tracks.There are some real problems with assembling a collection like this: for starters it contains not a single cut from her excellent debut, Three Chords and the Truth, issued in 1997. Greatest Hits is essentially every big single, but ignores some of the also-rans in favor of new songs. That’s fine and it’s accurate, but it feels incomplete. The new cuts are part of the problem: the album opens with “As if,” an anthemic but generic love song written with Hillary Lindsey and John Shanks, who produced all the new cuts (and you can be sure at least two of them will end up on her next studio effort).

The cut is full of big, compressed guitars and muted, programmed-sounding drums — despite the fact that Evans has one of the best bands in the business.

50 Cent Supports T.I.

Totally stupid now days, people will rat you out to save themselves…totally stupid actions sometimes cost you time out of your life. it is open season now days on show business people and anybody who don’t have sense enough to know that everybody makes bank on putting folks behind bars, the lawyers, the court, the prisons and the public because they buy all the media mess that print stuff about it. The only losers are the families who go to prison when the person goes to jail. You get ten years, so does your family and friends who support you! Wake up and think about before you do some mess…nobody wins but the law, you do the time and the law wins. Buy a clue, the objective it is to break down as many young artists as possible. Almost like as soon as you get any success as an artist you are open season. everybody wants something from you and you can’t trust nobody around you so stop calling these people around you friends, they are nothing but hangers on who will rat you out as soon as they get in a bind…stop that madness. didn’t you learn nothing from watching all the others who have been associating with rats…all rats love cheese and they eat it with the po po…okay but a clue and find better friends and associates. OK

Beyonce in Moscow

Beyonce in Moscow

Beyonce Knowles was spotted sightseeing in Moscow, Russia with her stylist mom Tina Knowles last Thursday. The ‘Bootylicious’ singer took in the sights at the Red Square and even posed in front Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It’s the multi-tented church with distinctive onion domes for those who don’t know.

Beyonce is expected to make an appearance next Thursday for the MTV Europe Music Awards. Ugh. Why? Is she performing? Is she getting an award? Or is she simply going to be there to annoy people? Seriously, I am so over Beyonce that it’s not even funny. She should just disappear and I wouldn’t really care.

Britney’s All by Her Lonesome

Britney’s All by Her Lonesome

Britney’s dance studio of choice Millennium Dance Complex held dancers’ auditions for the pop star citing a new video and a potential tour. Apparently, Britney doesn’t have any idea about it. Until recently.

Paparazzi caught Britney over the weekend and she talked to them about her next video for a song called ‘Someone’ which is set for release in December. When she was asked if any of the dancers from the auditions would be at the shoot, she said that she’s the only one who’s going to be in the video.

There’s also no official word whether she will go on tour so those dancers better hold on to their day jobs.

Pink and Carey to Divorce

Posted in Divorce, Love and Romance, Music Artists, NEWS, Pink by Amanda @ Oct 24, 2007

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And the smoke alarm is refusing to shut off when it comes to Pink and her husband Carey Hart.

The breakup rumors are continuing to hound the pop rocker and her motocross racing hubby. A source told the NY Daily News that “Divorce is just around the corner.” According to their report, Pink and Carey had a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy when it comes to cheating and that he was allowed to have his fun when she was away.

But apparently, Pink has changed her mind and that she wants kids. Too bad though because Carey had too much fun. The source says that “Carey has this one blond in particular that he takes everywhere, even public appearances.”

Making the Video Spicy

Victoria Beckham and Melanie Brown were seen arriving at a London airport on Friday after a flight from Los Angeles, California. The two were in town to meet with the rest of the girls to shoot their upcoming Spice Girls music video for ‘Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)’.

The girls are keeping the fans informed now as they launched a blog on their official website. The first post was one from Mel C where she talked about tour preparations. She mentioned that she had a meeting with Roberto Cavalli’s team last week and raved about the costumes.

She also talks about Mel B and ‘Dancing With The Stars’, their new documentary, promotions for her single as well as the Spice Girls tour.

The New Jennifer Hudson

Is it the month for the slim downs? First we saw a skinny Lily Allen and now a slimmed down Jennifer Hudson.

The American Idol alum/award-wining actress showed off her downsized body at a Project ALS party in New York City on Tuesday night. And boy was she hot! She’s working the boobs real well people.

I just hope that she doesn’t lose too much weight. She has to keep representing that big is beautiful. Whether you’re a singer or actress or host or business woman or just the average female, Jennifer’s one of few remaining who serve as a positive role model for kids.

Celine’s New Video

blog5-celine-dion.jpg

Celine Dion has released a new video. It’s for the first single off of her new album called ‘Taking Chances’. Incidentally enough, the single and the album have the same name.

The video features the French Canadian singer with a spy helmet. The video is definitely on the hi-tech side. Celine’s new album is scheduled for release on November 13.

Celine is still not done with her entertainment extravaganza of four years at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas but her last show has already been scheduled for December 15. I wonder if she’s going to tour in support of her new album or would just integrate some new songs in her Las Vegas show.

Britney’s Writing Skills

Posted in Britney Spears, Music Artists, Music News, Songs by Amanda @ Oct 19, 2007

britney-spears.jpg

With Britney Spears’ falling dignity, everything goes down with it. And that includes her so-called writing skills.

Sure, she’s never been confused with a true artist before but she has been credited for writing some songs. On her last album ‘In The Zone’, she was credited as a songwriter on seven of the songs. Five songs listed her as a co-writer on her 2001 self-titled album. But on her new album ‘Blackout’, Brit is listed as a songwriter for just two of the songs.

I guess she was just too out of it this time around. But then again, it shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Carrie Underwood: ‘I’m Not Stupid’

carrie-underwood-stupid.jpg

Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, and now Carrie Underwood are all from Oklahoma and are very successful - if anyone says their “stupid” - then they need to look in the mirror! They are not stupid! Don’t worry Carrie! You’re not! What is it about calling singers stupid, well they can sing and she is a winner at the American Idol contest so she has to have some really good singing skills and a whole lot of talent to win a big contest like that – so does that make her stupid, I think not at all. If you have a record deal or millions in your bank account that doesn’t mean you are stupid. People need to understand that just because someone is repetitive and yet successful it does not mean she/he is stupid, it means that we are putting up with their shit and there are happy to oblige. We are the ones who are stupid buying the same kind of music with new beats, they are just doing the marketing right to fool us all.

Jennifer Lopez Denies Diva Demands

jennifer_lopez_picture.jpg

Superstar Jennifer Lopez has played down reports of her extravagant backstage demands - insisting her former manager was to blame. In the past, the singer/actress’ list of requirements has included items such as white drapes and white couches, yellow roses with a red trim, and room temperature Evian water. And the list goes on and on to the extent that one could fill a full page of her demand, most of you might have read it too – her morning breakfast, time for meal and other things. But guys do not feel jealous and do not envy her for this, she is one of the best in the business today and she deserves every bit and more. When we like to see our favorite stars perform then they are entitled to these luxuries. At least the ticket prices of her concerts are not priced at $2000 like those of the Eagles, so that we can see her live on stage dancing and singing some great numbers.

Catatonia Singer To Return To Wales After Divorce

Former Catatonia star Cerys Matthews has split from her husband Seth Riddle after four years of marriage. The singer, 38, will leave the family home in Nashville, Tennessee and return to her native Wales with the couple’s two children: Glenys, four, and Johnny, two. See that’s exactly what I meant when I said that the female in Hollywood or rather in America are so silly that they would fall for a man who’s motive is just to enter their lives for a few years and then rob then of their money, leave them with 2 kids and say goodbye. Britney Spears is a good example if have to quote one and now Britney does not have her kids coz Kevin wants more money and that’s just not case with women, men to falls on their knees for some shit head average looking female just coz she took care of them while in hospital or served them at a bar. The next thing you find out they are dating. Will they ever learn, no they shouldn’t coz then how do we prove they are shit heads?

John Mayer surprised some lucky concertgoers at the Mercury Lounge in New York City on Saturday night when he came up to the stage unannounced and started to perform an acoustic set.

John reportedly performed some new material along with some old ones. One person in attendance said that the new stuff sounds great. Another witness adds that one song was “an obvious slap to all the Jessica Simpsons of the world”.

The artist at work: he uses life experiences as inspiration, his guitar and voice as his medium and fans to spread the word of how we should all laugh at Jessica Simpson. John Mayer, I love you!

She’s the rarest of divas, raised in a small New Zealand town, the adopted daughter of a Maori father and Irish mother. But after nearly 40 years of performing, soprano Kiri Te Kanawa belongs to the world. She’s sung for kings and queens, in all the famous concert halls and worked with the greatest conductors alive. You know for all her achievement and greatness we just like to she what all the other no hopers and sluts in Hollywood are up yo, we seriously need to get are acts together and praise the people who deserve it rather than speaking the shit out on Britney Spears and the other so called divas. Just because our silly journals and magazines cover Paris Hilton and the likes it doesn’t have to be that way. There are some sensible people out there who do their job better than these high flying ridiclues and yet we do hail them for their perfomances.

Kylie to Make Big Splash

Kylie Minogue is back and she’s back with a vengeance. She’s planning to make her official comeback a big splash as the pop star has just announced a big TV special with ITV1 in the UK.The special is not quite a concert but much more than that. Kylie, alongside her longtime collaborator William Baker and a team, will present a ‘visual experience’ to accompany each track. Kylie says “My creative team and I are preparing a fabulous evening with a mixture of old songs, new songs and lots of surprises thrown into the mix as well.”

The special is set to air some time in November which is around the same time as the release of Kylie’s new album.

Britney Gets Rushed

blog3-britney-spears.jpg

Britney Spears comeback album ‘Blackout’ was supposed to be released in November but it has since been moved up to October 30th.

Jive Records, Brit’s label, is now aware that songs from the pop star’s forthcoming release, unfinished material and even demos have been leaked online. A label spokesperson has gone on the record with the statement that “Due to these numerous unauthorized on-line leaks, the label is doing everything possible to prevent and avoid any further illegal distribution of songs including moving up the release date of the album to October 30th.”

I can practically hear those Halloween parties with her in the background.

Country Star Joe Nichols Enters Rehab

He has struggled with the issue of substance abuse and he is not alone all the other major stars are struggling with the same problems. The announcement comes just one month after the “Another Side of You” singer, 30, wed his girlfriend of 12 years, Heather Singleton, 30. What can be done about the grim situation facing the entertainment industry, I do not know but surely it’s a problem that we all have been ignoring and now there are celebs entering the rehab everyday, Lindsay goes in comes out, so does Amy Winehouse, then there is someone else and now there is Joe who needs some help. And mind you this is just the tip of the ice berg here that we are looking at, there are so many other’s who go unreported and the we only get to here about the A list star, the problem with the struggling stars who are looking for their big break could be even worse. We need to tell the stars that if they continue with their wayward ways and do not clean up their acts then they could be facing losing interest from fans. We do not want these f**king shitheads amongst us.

Salt ‘N’ Pepa Rapper Quit Duo To Fight Bulimia

salt_n_pepa1.jpg

Rapper Cheryl James quit Salt ‘N’ Pepa in 2001 to recover from depression and bulimia. James, better known as Salt, walked out on the girl group to get away from the “endless” pressure she felt being in the spotlight. Now 41, she says, “I had to get rid of the chaos in my life, which I attributed to being in the group… The pressure to be beautiful and management telling me, ‘You’re gaining weight.’ It was endless.” This should be an eye opener to all those aspiring to be singers and musicians, the ‘endless’ pressure to look slim as the world’s slimmest mobile instrument can be ridiculous at times. Man like want do the people want the female singers to be like –some 15 mm wide body with gadgets like looks and sumptuous curves, 2 mega pixel camera and even more features. They are humans and not mobile phone for heavens sake; they feel hungry and have some tastes.

Joss Stone Despises All Her Former Managers

joss-stone-photo.jpg

Soul star Joss Stone is glad to be rid of her manager - insisting she is better off without them. The British singer, 20, has changed her representation numerous times throughout her five-year career, and is now determined to go it alone. I think she has said it right, sometimes its better that you path your career yourself rather than depend on some selfish managers who just go and make the wrong comments about you in public and then you have to face the barrage of question from the media. Maybe she has been the one who has not been able to choose the right people to represent her and now that she has vowed not to have one lets see how she will manage all her dates and her career. I think that previous bad experiences should not make her not have a manager, she should keep searching for one and wait until she find the right person to fill the post and till then she could do the job herself.

Fashion Icon Amy Winehouse

Did you ever think that Amy Winehouse would become a fashion icon? I don’t know about anyone else, but even just by asking it, I know it’s so wrong on so many levels. With the beehive hair, bat wing eyeliner and ballet shoes, who would really want to copy her? Perennial copy cat Aubrey O’Day of course!

One of the members of Diddy’s pop clone girl group Danity Kane was spotted pretty much mimicking Wino’s hair do. The 23-year old singer rocked her own blonde octopus weave at a Miami club on Saturday which made heads turn. And not in a good way.

Man Doesn’t Want Niece To Be Adopted By ‘Big White Star’ Madonna

Posted in Family, Madonna, Music Artists, NEWS, Rumor by Amanda @ Oct 9, 2007

madonna-adopt.jpg

Madonna’s attempt to adopt a second Malawian child has been thrown into doubt after the child’s outraged uncle voiced his opposition to the move. I don’t really think it’s like that in a sense, I think that he doesn’t want his daughter to grow up not knowing her roots and where she came from. For instance Madonna doesn’t really take her other adopted son back to Malawi that much, but Angelina jolie makes frequent visits to zahara’s country, because she wants her to know of her heritage. I think some silly people in this country will jump on the race band wagon wheel. They will have this notion that this man wouldn’t let his niece go as Madonna is a white who has a different culture from his. Also Madonna’s images as a former notorious bad girl of entertainment industry might not make him feel safe about the girl staying with Madonna.

Kylie Minogue Fears She Will Never Wed

kylie-minogue-sexy.jpg
Pop superstar Kylie Minogue fears she will never get married. The Australian singer, who split up with her fiancé Olivier Martinez last year, would love to settle down and start a family but she has yet to find the right man - and wonders if she ever will. Well she shouldn’t be so desperate to get married, you have to be patient and not get married to any lame jerk that screws up your entire life and leaves you when you are pregnant. Yes I am trying to compare a small situation of Kylie to Britney Spears, Britney was as successful as Kylie if not more, Britney married Kevin Ferdaline and he messed up her whole career and has taken her kids away from her too now recently. So I beg Kylie to not rush into a relation and commit to it for a long term and have the shit clogged up her ass and then have to cry someday in public.

Juliette Lewis is Definitely Crazy

It’s already an established case that Juliette Lewis is bizarre. It should come as no surprise that her outfits would be just, or even more bizarre, as her.

The 34-year old actress turned singer arrived at a Rolling Stone party at Opera on Thursday looking like an adorably glittered little red riding hood. If that’s not crazy enough for you, ‘The Other Sister’ star kept on and on to the paps about the craziest pop star of all time, Britney Spears.

And wouldn’t you know it? She’s a fan of the girl. She said “I love that, that, that song ‘Gimme More,’ seriously!” As they say, birds of a feather.

britney-spears-new-video-gimme-more.jpg

I can’t believe it, really. It seems like this whole K-Fed thing really got the best of her. Bad timing to have a divorce and it’s after effects and trying to make a very strong comeback. Unless it’s magically better on Monday, this is the worst video I’ve seen of hers since Boys. Thank God the song is good. Britney: please be sober or at least know what you’re doing if you’re not, when you shoot a video that’s going to be in public. This looks like the VMA’s all over. Strippers do not make “cute” little moves like a Britney video when they are on a pole. Do your homework, and please execute them correctly. More than that though since you already did it.. Can you PLEASE remake this video.. I KNOW you can do better, and you could make this video SO much better. Put a little ‘Im a Slave 4 U’ sexiness in there at least. Just get better, don’t let your mess destroy you. Kick k-fed to the side and leave him and all those problems with him there.

Melanie Brown is desperate to ditch her ‘Scary Spice’ image in favor of a more sophisticated look. The singer, 32, who is currently wowing audiences on American reality show Dancing with the Stars, is even taking etiquette lessons in a bid to refine her image. Yeah, right now all the Spice Girls group is on could 9 with their ticket for UK gig being sold out in a mere 38 seconds. There nothing wrong if she want to have a new image and create a new identity for her self as long as it is a positive one. She does have two little girls who look up to their mom. I think that these all a series of preparations that the Spice Girls are undertaking for their forth coming world tour and if these girls are leaving no stone unturned to make it a success then I bet ya they are going to have a successful outing. Its all about putting the right efforts in your work if you do it well and in a planned manner then you are giving yourself the best shot at success.

Britney Gets License

Posted in Britney Spears, Drugs, Music Artists, NEWS, Songs Download by Amanda @ Oct 6, 2007

blog5-britney-spears.jpg

She may just be on the road to getting better. In some ways, I think it may be literal too.

Britney Spears has been issued a valid license for the state of California. She was granted one on Tuesday and she recently picked her paper license at the DMV office in Van Nuys. The paper license would be valid only until a permanent one is sent in the mail. Looks like she won’t be driving around illegally anymore.

Even better news for the singer is that her song ‘Gimme More’ is #1 on the Soundscan Singles chart which is based solely on digital downloads. However, it’s highly unlikely for her to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart because radio airplay is very minimal to say the least.
