Lily Allen has announced she may quit music. The 23-year-old singer revealed she will give up singing if her eagerly-anticipated second album, tentatively titled ‘Stuck on the Naughty Step’, is a flop.

Lily recently put the finishing touches to the follow up to 2006’s ‘Alright, Still’, and fears she “got away with something” because of the huge success of her first album.

The ‘Littlest Things’ singer said: “I left school at 15. I’m not a genius songwriter. I don’t think I’m really good at anything. I’m really scared about what people are going to say. I don’t know why. Some people will like it and some won’t. If people hate it, then I’ll just try something else.”

Lily said that if she does quit singing she would like to work behind the scenes role in the music industry, adding: “I’d really like to do A+R at a record company.”

Last month, Lily was in Los Angeles working on the album with producer Greg Kurstin, who produced two tracks on ‘Alright, Still’. She revealed possible song titles include ‘Everyone’s at it’ and ‘He Wasn’t There’.

Lily has also previewed possible tracks to be included on the LP on her MySpace internet page, including ‘I Don’t Know’ and ‘Guess Who Batman’. It was rumored earlier this week that Lily was set to record a duet with Lindsay Lohan. The album is due for release next year.

Wow….what is her deal? I mean, she’s the freakin’ cokehead but she wants to drag other folks into her crap.

Seems Amy’s concert this weekend was pretty exciting. Besides attacking a fan, she also attacked another celeb, for no reason apparently. As she sang, she ad libbed some love to her jailed up hubby Blake.

Then, as she performed Unholy War, she said, “I’m not opening for a c*** like Kanye.” What? Who knew she had beef with him?

Kanye’s response to Amy? He blogged about it, saying, “THIS JUST IN…AMY WINEHOUSE HATES ME!!! NOW I’VE REALLY MADE IT!!! LOL!!!”

Congratulations are well in order for Chantal Kreviazuk as the very talented Canadian singer and songwriter gave birth to a beautiful bouncing baby boy at 4:48 AM on June 28th, Saturday. Look at the cheeks on the little one! I just want to pinch them. The newest addition to her family has been given the name Salvador Daniel Maida. The dad is super hot musician Raine Maida. Salvador is the third child for the couple. They have two other children, both boys as well named Rowan and Lucca. Chantal says “He is healthy and adorable. I’m trying not to eat him up! Infants are just miraculous.” They truly are.

Singer and songwriter Kate Voegele appeared at a Verizon Wireless store to sign autographs on Wednesday in New York City. She was joined by Natasha Bedingfield and the Veronicas, for whom she’s opening for on tour. The 21-year old Kate was recently spotlighted by Entertainment Weekly as being the best of “the new golden age of female singer-songwriters” while Billboard has hailed her as “An Artist to Watch in ‘08”. The experts are already saying that we’re going to fall in love with Kate this year and after hearing her songs, I’m not doubting them. Kate is definitely going to be big.

R&B style queen Rihanna sat next to her unofficial boy Chris Brown during the 2008 BET Awards which was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Rihanna arrived at the awards ceremony in style, wearing an eye-catching yellow Giambattista Valli dress. Apart from grabbing a couple awards, Rihanna also performed her latest single ‘Take a Bow’. If you still don’t know what Rihanna’s new should tattoo means, it’s “IV. LXXXVI”, which is the Roman numeral for 4.86, the date of birth of her best friend. Apparently this best friend of hers is “closer than people from her own family’.”

Katy Perry has dethroned Coldplay to take over the spot for the number one song in America. According to Billboard, her infectious ‘I Kissed a Girl’ bumped Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida’ at the top of the US singles chart. The song has already been #1 in Canada and is likely to follow suit in other countries once it’s released in Europe in the late summer or early fall. Industry experts have said that Katy should be able to hold on to the top spot for a bit too as her song continues to sell well and is getting tons of airplay. Katy’s debut album ‘One of the Boys’ has also debuted on the Top 10 of the Billboard charts this week. Congratulations!

Woo hoo…after days in the hospital, Amy Winehouse hit the stage Friday in London and performed at a concert for Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday party.

She sang “Rehab” and “Valerie”, and the crowds cheered. Those around sid that she looked healthy, even though she’d been in the hospital.

I’m still not sure why Amy Winehouse performed at his party, but whatever…..

The Disney Channel’s new Jonas Brothers movie ‘Camp Rock’ debuted to a huge audience on Friday night. The made for TV movie averaged a total of 8.9 million viewers at 8-10 PM which made it the cable network’s second most watched original movie ever. ‘Camp Rock’ came behind ‘High School Musical 2’ with 17.2 million. However, the Jonas’ movie did trump the original ‘High School Musical’ which only debuted to 7.7 million viewers back in January 2006. ‘Camp Rock’ may be getting slammed by reviewers but they didn’t do a shabby job at attracting an audience. I’m pretty sure this will lead to a ‘Camp Rock 2’. Darned capitalists!

Britney Spears is reportedly working on a new album and there’s a Las Vegas twist on it as it is being said that Vegas kingpin George Maloof is behind it. Sources say that the album is being recorded at Maloof’s Palms Casion in Las Vegas and that former manager Larry Rudolph, who’s been back in the picture for a while, is producing the album. Maloof is trying his best to extend his arm into the music industry and is also behind Ali Lohan’s upcoming album. If he really wants to be part of the industry, supporting those two acts isn’t really the right way to do it.

The cowboy doesn’t like ‘em rowdy. And he doesn’t like when men are mean to women either. He proved both at a concert in Auburn, Washington.

As he sang “Indian Outlaw”, a bit of chaos broke out near the front. Apparently Tim saw an aggressive male fan hit a female fan, and Tim didn’t take took kindly to that. He yelled, “Get rid of this guy! Security!”

But security didn’t move fast enough for Tim, so he grabbed the guy, pulled him on stage, and held him until they could get him. Needless to say, he was escorted from the concert.

Michelle Branch is taking a break from her music career so you’re not going to be able to find her hanging out at any recording studios but according to new reports, the country singer now has a new place to hang out in the form of a bakery called The Sugar Bar in Nashville, Tennessee. Michelle says that it’s an old-fashioned bakeshop and bar where you can grab a drink and a slice of Bourbon Chocolate Cake after dinner. She goes on to say “Besides music, one of my dreams has always been to open a bakery.” Her business is also local friendly as she plans to support local farmers by using their butter, milk, eggs and fruit.

Celine Dion is getting on her architect for not knowing much about geometry. The singer hired Florida architect Randall Stofft in 2005 to build her a $3 million Jupiter Island home complete with an octagonal living room. Stofft saw it differently and Celine said he refused to build the house she wanted. According to the Palm Beach Post, the house is still unfinished up to now which is why Celine has filed suit asking for a quarter million in damages. It’s one of those cases where the customer is always right. Heck, he’s going to be paid regardless if Celine’s vision was a mess. It was her idea that she’s paying for anyway. He should have just followed orders if you ask me.

She comes across so sweet, so together, so stylish…and then this.

Rihanna hit the red carpet in a see-through, strappy number…as in, leather belts to hold it up. The black shirt was see-through, but the real shocker was what you could see. Yep, folks, she was showcasing her pretty nipple ring.

Who really wears nipple rings? Old granmas who think it’ll make them seem young.

Gag…

People is reporting that country signer Sara Evans scored a touch down last weekend when she married the former University of Alabama quarterback Jay Barker in a small outdoor ceremony that I’m pretty sure no one really cares about. The wedding party was made up of the couple’s seven children and 130 of their close family and friends as witnesses to the occasion. The couple met when they were both seeking spiritual counseling from a minister after their first marriages ended in divorce. Let’s hope this one works or they might end up fighting over who gets to go to that minister.

Whatever happened to the days when Music Television actually played music? Now it’s just one poor loser after another trying to do some “cool new” reality show. I’m sick of it.

The latest has-been to join the craze? None other than Janet Jackson. Her show is something about finding talented singers. Yeah, that’s original for sure.

I’m think maybe she’s jealous of Paula….agree?

According to reports, Coldplay’s new album ‘Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends’ has sold 125,000 copies during its first day out in the UK. With those numbers, the album is expected to take over the top spot on the UK album chart very easily. Why? To be honest, I’m not a big fan of the album. I think it sucks. There are even rumors that one of their songs, ‘Viva La Vida’ was actually copied off from an unknown UK band. Tsk. Add the fact that Chris Martin has gone diva on us, it just made me not like it more.

The Jonas Brothers have taken over the cover of the new issue of Billboard. In their interview, they talked about their new album, writing songs and even Jonas mania. Of the new album, they spoke of the singles being reminiscent of Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake and even early Weezer. Joe talked about writing the songs saying “Pretty much we were writing all these songs when we were on tour, and we didn’t have time to go into a studio and record. There’s a lot of time when you’re on the tour bus where there’s a lot of waiting around. We have like four hours in each day where we could really do something.” Nick adds his experience saying “When we’re writing together, we’re really open to each other’s ideas, which I think is really important when you’re writing songs. No one can be closed-minded, because then nothing is going to work. For us, it’s really just one of our passions. It’s kind of our roots.”

Jessica Simpson wants to sing country music for ‘the rest’ of her life. The 27-year-old singer – whose career rocketed after she appeared on MTV reality show ‘Newlyweds’ with now ex-husband Nick Lachey – loved making her debut country record so much she never intends to return to pop music.

She said: “I’m planning on making country music for the rest of my life, and I don’t want to go back to that other world.”

Jessica also revealed she has heard mixed reviews for the first single ‘Come On Over’, from the as-yet-untitled LP, but is determined not to give up.

She added: “A lot of people have listened to ‘Come On Over’ and told me, ‘I really wanted to hate it, but I like it. It’s a backhanded compliment, but I’m glad it’s that way and not the other way around! I take a lot of pride in my talent and in the record I was able to put together. I’m not giving up.”

Katy Perry has a top 5 single on the charts called ‘I Kissed a Girl’. But before her song became a hit, singer-songwriter Jill Sobule had a 1995 hit of the same name. When asked of what she thought of Katy’s song, Jill said “I don’t feel precious about the title, but I’ve gotten tons of e-mails from annoyed fans. Some think it’s more of a ‘Girls Gone Wild’ thing than anything shocking or empowering to true gay feelings…Maybe I’ll write a third ‘I Kissed a Girl’ for fun. It will be about how I kissed her, left the dull boyfriend, got gay-married in California, and really no one gave a s—.”
