Gucci creative director Frida Giannini said “I wanted Rihanna on board with this project because she’s so young, so modern and so iconic.” Rihanna said “I have always been a fan of the Gucci brand and the products, especially their handbags. But most of all, I’m very very intrigued by what they’re doing with UNICEF. As an artist, I feel like it’s our duty to make it a better place if we can. I’m blown away by what UNICEF has been able to accomplish in Africa with the money that Gucci has donated to them.
The singer recently admitted that she has learned that marriage is a lot more than just the facade of being together: “I learned that it’s a lot of hard work, that it’s more than a dress.” She also insists that the feelings she has for her husband and the relationship they’re in are genuine: “What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about the interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real.” Of course it is as real as can be, we hear about it all the time. How can it not be acknowledged as being real with all the attention that’s being drawn upon it.
Showing complete signs of recovering from her 2007 Video Music Awards debacle Britney Spears in her 1st live performance since then rocked while performing her hit new single “Womanizer” at the 2008 Bambi Awards in Germany on Thanksgiving Day.
She looked very in shape and much like her former BFF Madonna and the 26 year-old pop star had everyone dancing to their feet and adoring fans were trying to copy her on stage moves while Britney was performing.
Her song “Womanizer” is all over the place and its really being played repeatedly over the airwaves and in just a couple of days time or 2nd December to be precise is the release date for her album ‘Circus’. Man this is a really crucial period in the her career cos’ if this album can meet with a high degree of success then there will be no doubting that Britney has completely a major comeback.
Lance Bass recently blogged a post for Us Weekly about the Dancing with the Stars semi-final round. The former boy band member said “Producers wanted me dance to our song ‘Bye Bye Bye’ for my freestyle routine if I make the finals, but I think [doing an *NSYNC routine] would hurt me in the end, because Len doesn’t like my *NSYNC moves. Instead, I’ve decided to go with classic hip-hop moves from today with old-school music. Right now, I’m leaning towards dancing to ‘Tricky’ by Run DMC, but I’m going to poll my fans on my MySpace page to see what they like best. It’s either that or ‘Ice Ice Baby.’ I’ll even let them weigh in if they want the ’80s mullet back!”
If you happen to be looking to take advantage of the crappy housing market and trade up, you’re in luck. According to the LA Times, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have just listed their 10,500 sq. ft., 6 bedroom, 7.5 bath Beverly Park Mediterranean Village for a mere $14.8 million. You also get a gym, pool and an extra 4 acres of land if you wish to raise sheep and cattle. The country crooners are pulling a reverse hillbilly by packing up their stuff and moving away from Beverly. I wonder if they will shave a few million off if there are no buyers within a month.
Well you can’t keep her out of the news. For the last year or year and a half she’s been in the news for all the wrong reasons mainly due to the divorce from Kevin and more so their custody battle for their two sons.
Today she’s all that she was earlier, great singer, crowd entertainer, top of the charts songs and all. Success really speaks for itself, suddenly her numbers are superb and raging. Britney has left for Germany where she will be promoting her latest album ‘Circus’.
The scores of paparazzi there at the LAX Airport really made things difficult for the singer as she attempted to get past the security checkpoint, once she got through that she almost immediately disappeared into the International terminal.
Not long ago she would have to hide from the media glare and now she barely has time to look at them. Great going Brit just show your detractors that there’s no stopping you now.
Meet Hana Pestle — an eighteen year old singer/songwriter that has come a long way from her hometown of Billings, Montana. Hana moved to Los Angeles about a year ago to work on her debut album with Ben Moody, co-founder of Evanescence, who has also produced records for Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne. On top of the ten month recording process, Hana spent most of this year touring with an opening slot on the Blues Traveler, Live, Collective Soul Tour. She has since toured with the likes of Joshua Radin and Jon McLaughlin and is currently on the road with pop/pock band Ingram Hill.
The versatility of Hana’s vocals stands out on her current E.P with the intense single “These Two Hands” and a cover of Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelujah.” Hana will be able to tell more of her story on her full-length release due out next year.
Hana may be far away from home in a city she calls “much different yet wonderful,” but she explains, “I’m home wherever my guitar is.” Citing influences that range from Radiohead and Sarah McLachlan to Incubus, Feist and Jack Johnson, it is clear that Hana isn’t bound to any one genre.
House of Heroes have just premiered their version of the holiday classic “Silent Night.” The Ohio band, whose most recent album The End Is Not The End was delivered via digital stores, has seen an incredible response with the release making it to the #6 spot on the iTunes rock chart and #42 on the overall chart, with a #1 radio hit single and over 1 million plays on their MySpace page. House of Heroes’ discography includes a 2005 self-titled debut and the re-release Say No More in 2006. Prior to signing a record deal with Mono Vs Stereo/Gotee, the band released an indie project What You Want Is Now (2002) to much critical acclaim and a large grassroots following.
Check out this week’s episode of PCD TV straight from Melbourne, Australia. The Dolls, who represent and encourage female empowerment, send a very important message from their performance at a breast cancer awareness event. Watch them take the stage to help raise money for the cause and spread the message.
Amy Winehouse, who looks much worse for every day she survives, has revealed to News of the World that her marriage to Blake-Fielder Civil is over.
AWWW NO MORE BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE?
According to NOTW, Blake (incarcerated) is leaving her for German model Sophie Schandorff.
I always believed Blake had a sick taste in women. I’m so glad he proved me wrong.
The ¼ singer ¾ druggie confessed that their marriage is “over” and that “there’s no way back for us now.”
She also tells them that their marriage “was never going to last.”
And most important of all? We were only together for SEX. I fancied him like mad, like no one else I’ve ever known. But it’s not enough, is it?”
A close ‘friend’ of Amy’s revealed that their sex life was insanely excessive as their rampant drug use.
She says:
“They were into threesomes. It was Blake’s idea but Amy said she’d been with women before so it wasn’t a problem. She said she’s had a string of female lovers. Whenever Blake said he wanted three-in-a-bed Amy would fix it.”
“They thought they were on this sexual journey together. And the pair of them were into some real kinky stuff, not just the usual bondage and sex games but really gross stuff you couldn’t mention in a newspaper. They were bad for each other, each pushing the other to excess, whether drugs or sex. Plus he sponged off her. And she’s awake to that now.”
One question: WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH HER NOW? PETE DOHERTY?
After getting all the buzz for their hush-hush marriage early this year, power couple Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z is the talk of the town once again after they topped Forbes’ list of top-earning Hollywood couples, thanks to a combined income of $110 million in 2007. The combined income of the couple is however estimated at $160 million from June 2007 to 2008.
Beyonce and Jay-Z are both popular figures in the American music industry albeit in different categories—Jay-Z reigns in the world of hip hop while Beyonce reigns in the R&B and Bootylicious category. However, there is not arguing that the couple reign supreme when it comes to high-paying endorsements.
Next in the list is power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith with $57 million worth of combined earnings although majority of that came from Smith’s movie hits like Hancock, The Pursuit of Happiness and I Am Legend. Victoria and David Beckham is at number three with a combined income of $39 million.
The list also includes Nicole Kidman and country singer Keith Urban, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as well as Eva Longoria of “Desperate Housewives” and Tony Parker.
Do not panic! Nothing happened to him, he just came a little close to it and found out that he would probably like to die drunk when the time truly comes. After the plane he was traveling in had to make an emergency landing, Enrique got a little nervous and had a few drinks: “I had a few shots of vodka and I was fine. Die drunk, right? I’m a bit of a panic flayer. I fly myself, but I definitely panicked for a few minutes.” Apparently the singer learned how to fly just to get over his fear of flying… he most likely found out that alcohol works much, much better. Plus, it might even get fun after one point.
The stunning pop diva Mariah Carey is one of those singers who put the maximum effort in staying slim and smart.
If you have been waiting for a long time to learn how the hot and spicy singer stays in shape, then you do not have to wait any more.
Recently Mariah Carey revealed that her pilates and water aerobics workout schedule that spans 7 days a week, along with a strict 1,500 calorie diet keep her in midriff-baring shape.
Although the “Touch My Body” singer admitted that she occasionally sneaks a “morsel” of fried chicken and mac burger and cheese.
The clothes she wears are indeed hard to keep on the body for a long time – without such a sexy figure. Isn’t it?
Last Wednesday night, singer Mary J. Blige attended the Gucci UNICEF dinner held at The Oak Room at the Plaza in New York.
The usually stylish Blige was seen wearing fur from head to toe!
She had on a black knee-length dress, what looks to be leather boots, a fur Louis Vuitton scarf, and a large fur coat.
Do you think what she was wearing was real fur??
I THINK SO!!!
Didn’t she hear about Lindsay getting floured?
Good thing for her, no PETA members were invited to the event. Otherwise she would have been somebody else covered in flour!
And somebody got the news wrong.
Us Weekly reported that the song on Britney’s new album, Mmm Papi, was not inspired by or written for her former sleazebag paparazzo beau, Adnan Ghalib.
Nicole Morier, who co-wrote Mmm Papi with Britney Spears, told PerezHilton.com exclusively:
“I never said that to the US Weekly! The song is definitely not about Adnan and in the whole time I worked with her last spring and summer I never once saw that guy. We strictly wrote the song for fun. the Mmm Papi part came out of Mmm Papa Luv U and I came up with it because the track was a fun up beat track and we wanted to do something crazy like mmmpapamowow.
They claim that the mmm papi part of the song “came later as rhythmic idea and it was also more inspired by Hey Mami from the group Fannypack”. It was their “ode to all the Latino hotties in the world such as yourself”, Nicole tells Perezhilton.
Nicole Kidman must have felt so elated knowing that husband Keith Urban is one of the sexiest men alive! A survey conducted by Entertainment Television shows Urban in the 16th place among the world’s sexiest men alive. Country music lovers already consider Urban sexy but survey shows he is more than country-sexy. The world’s “sexiest men alive” list is topped by soccer player David Beckham.
Entertainment Television recruited twenty judges who came up with the list of 25 hottest hunks worldwide. Urban was chosen not merely for his country charms but for his sweetness, versatility and virility. According to one judge, Urban can go from rugged to formal in a matter of minutes. He is also credited for giving Kidman a baby and a happy marriage.
The panel of judges chose hunks from all industries including sports, movies, ramp and even pop divas. The inclusion of Urban and Beckham in the list shows how sexy is defined by the judges—-good looks, great fashion sense, and fatherhood. Bad boy Johnny Depp’s number two position however shows that being naughty on the side also helps!
E-Television’s sexiest hunks list also included Dan Carter (rugby player), Jonathan Meyers (actor), Kostas Martakis (pop star) and Dingdong Dantes (Filipino actor).
Shania Twain appeared as an absolute vision of beauty at the 42nd Annual Country Music Awards Show held last Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee. She looked ridiculously stunning! The little Canadian country singing gal presented the award for Entertainer of the Year which went to Kenny Chesney. The awards ceremony appearance was Shania’s first major public appearance since that loser husband of hers allegedly dumped her for his butt ugly employee. If he even got a glimpse of his ex-wife during that show, I’m willing to bet that he’s severely regretting his decision of ever leaving her. Who the heck leaves Shania for someone else?
Yes, you read that right! PerezHilton.com claims that they have sources telling them that Mel B. will have her very own Vegas revue show.
Think Spice Girls meets Showgirls.
In other words, fabulous!
The singer formerly known as Scary Spice has teamed up with big Broadway director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray/Legally Blonde) to collaborate on the new project, called Peep Show.
A source close to Mel tells us it’s “very sexy and very girl power!”
Peep Show will open in 2009 and play at the Planet Hollywood Casino Resort.

Taylor Swift recently had an interview wherein she talks about everything from her best friend in the business to the last three ring tones on her cell phone. Well that’s random. The interviewer noted how her new album ‘Fearless’ features mostly songs about guys. She was asked whether she preferred writing love songs or break up songs. Taylor replied “I really like to write songs about relationships. I like to write about boys and I love to write about every aspect of love. I think that it’s really fascinating to me how many angles there are to a breakup. There are so many different things you can write about one breakup. So right now, that’s my favorite thing to write about. But also when you’re falling in love with someone, when you’ve just gone on the best date ever and you write a song about it. I think capturing that moment in time is really important and really fun. I am just fascinated by the whole relationship thing and that’s my favorite thing to write songs about.”
Well it proves again that great idea or probably the best idea and plans spring up when having a peaceful time in the restroom. The same seems to be the case with Mariah Carey as she has revealed that the idea for the hit single hit her when she was in the bathroom.
Now this could easily be just one of those ‘I thought it in …’ sought of parsing oneself stunts. But then it happens with a lot of us as well, when we are sitting all by ourselves and you cannot even attend your boss’s call your inevitably goes into uncharted territory and suddenly you have a brilliant idea. You say to yourself “Why didn’t I think of this before”.
You rush out of the bathroom with your pants still unbuttoned and like a creative genius to scribble the ultimate lyrics or something out of the ordinary. It surely can happen so kudos to Mariah for pulling out a super track from her bathroom and maybe she should stay there more often that way she won’t flop like the way she did at the of this century.
