Just Stand Up To Cancer

2008-08-21T20:59:00.000-07:00

As many people may know, either from personal experience or just from reading about it in the news, breast cancer is becoming a growing epidemic and is affecting more and more women each year. To help promote awarness and the importance of early detection and treatment, 15 musical divas have joined together to lend their voices to the inspirational track: "Just Stand Up To Cancer." The track features legendary superstars such as Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and Beyonce, and include appearances from Carrie Underwood, Fergie, Leona Lewis, Sheryl Crow, Rihanna, Melissa Etheridge, Miley Cyrus, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara and LeeAnn Rimes. The track will be available on iTunes on September 2, 2008. And, if that were not enough, there will be a concert special to be aired on three major networks consecutively on September 5, 2008. AND, all the proceeds go to breast cancer research, so be sure to help support this cause.

Fergie and Natasha Bedingfiel Smash L.A. August 30, 2008

Also coming to the Wiltern this summer, Fergie and Natasha Bedingfield have teamed up with Pepsi: Smash to perform a very exclusive show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles. If you remember, the Pepsi: Smash Company recieved a lot of recognition in 2006 for hosting Mariah Carey's very first concert since her Charmbracelet tour. And, just like the Mariah concert, the only way to get into the venue and see the show, which takes place August 30, 2008, you have to win the tickets or find a scalper selling their tickets. As of today, you can win by going to the Pepsi: Smash website, calling KIIS-FM, or through Craigslist, where the tickets are selling for about $65 each.

ROAD TO VMAS: RECAP

2008-07-25T19:16:00.000-07:00

Well the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, CA, hosted on July 23, 2008 MTV2's and Time Warner Cables sponsored event Road To VMA's where aspiring L.A. talent got the opportunity to compete in a music competition for a spot to be featured in the 2008 Video Music Awards. The event was taped at the famous Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, CA, and the competitors - The Ruse, U-N-I, and End Roulette - were judged by celebrity panelists Kat Von D, Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio, and The Game. The show was great and the bands were amazing, but a real downer that night was The Game's personality. Judging by his facial expressions and his constant textingon his iPhone, it appeared as though he did not want to be there. The only time he looked away from his phone was when it was his time to speak and when a begging fan managed to get his attention and ask for a photo (but trust me, as soon as the photo was done and over with, it was back to the iPhone). Kat Von D and Matt Skiba were much nicer and more loyal to their fans, stopping to take photos and sign autographs with whomever asked. You would think being from Cali himself and being recognized by the fans who support him, The Game would be a bit more courteous. Anyways, just thought I'd share.

Mariah Carey is Out Of Hiding!

2008-07-09T22:34:00.001-07:00

Since ceasing promotion in the U.S. of her much anticipated studio album, E=MC2, and avoiding public appearances after her marriage to comedian Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey is making her television debut on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. The show will feature a live mini-concert where she will no doubtedly perform her current top 3 singles, "Touch My Body," "Bye Bye," and "I'll Be Loving You Long Time."

The show will take place July 31, 2008 in Hollywood, CA.

Making The Tour in Los Angeles

Following the success of both bands' albums, Diddy had only one thing in sight for his music groups: a successful national tour. The tour, simply titled The MAKING THE BAND TOUR, ended with a bang as Danity Kane, Day26, Donnie Klang, and Bad Boy Recording Artist, Cheri Dennis, swept into the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. Danity Kane who was formed in 2006 after successful completing MTV's reality television competition, Making the Band 3, had toured with several headlining acts including, Christina Aguilera and Black Eyed Peas, but following their successful record sales (both their debut and sophomore albums went no. 1) a headlining tour of their own was a must. They are joined by Diddy's second group to be formed in front of the eyes of millions of Americans, Day26--an all-male R&B group whose album also debuted at no. 1--as well as the first Bad Boy artist to recieve a recording contract following the Making the Band competition.

The concert was a short 2 1/2 hours but the fans did not seem to mind. Cheri Dennis performed a short-but-sweet set getting the crowd pumped for the rest of the evening. Donnie Klang, who has yet to release a studio album, performed only 2 songs before leaving the stage. He later rejoined his fellow cast members, Day 26 to perform an acapella version of "Exclusive" with the group. Just before the Danity Kane took the stage, the one-and-only Diddy, surprises the crowd as he walks on stage to thank for the crowd for all their support, address the "bitchassness" in America, and to introduce his successful female act. Wearing doll-like outfits, appropriate for the theme of their recent album, Welcome to the Dollhouse, the girls glide across the stage showing the crowd that they are "Bad Girls." Their set is filled with new songs from their newest album, with only "Showstopper" being the only track included from their first album.

Pussycat Dolls Premiere New Single Exclusively to L.A. audience

2008-05-21T13:33:00.000-07:00

The all-female pop group who burst onto the music scene as recording artists in 2004 is back in L.A. to premiere yet another hit. The Pussycat Dolls have decided to premiere their newest single, "When I Grow Up," on one of the most popular late night talkshows, Jimmy Kimmel Live, May 20, 2008. This is the girls' first studio recording since the release of their highly successful debut album, PCD, in September 2005, and will be featured on the groups' second studio album entitled, Doll Domination, due out September 16, 2008. The girls delivered a strong performance with their sexy dance moves and lead vocals from frontwoman, Nicole Scherzinger. Though they performed a short 3-song set of "When I Grow Up," "Don'tcha" and "Buttons," the girls proved that despite having a short set, they can get their fans pumped as the hundreds of fans screamed and sang wildly along to their hits. If that was not enough, the girls were not shy when it came to giving back to their fans. They each created fans, took photos, and signed autographs before leaving to prepare for their next show. Pussycat Dolls creator and manager, Robin Antin, was also present to oversee the performance and greet fans.

2008-04-04T01:19:00.000-07:00

The breakout rock group of the year Paramore led a high energy set as they took the Pontiac Garage Stage April 4, 2008, just 24-hours before their scheduled appearance at this year's Bamboozle Left. The band, which is led by front woman Hayley Williams, performed a strong set for both new and old fans from their two albums. Following the success of their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, their sophomore album, RIOT!, earned the band a sold out world tour and a strong fanbase. Despite the slight chill in the air, the band took to the stage and belted out the following hits, "That's What You Get," "Misery Business," "Pressure," "Here We Go Again," "CrushCrushCrush," "Born For This," and "For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optomistic." Paramore ended their set by thanking Jimmy Kimmel and, surprise celeb audience member Sarah Silverman, for having the band on the show and invited the crowd to catch them at Bamboozle Left the following evening.

Don't Mess With EVE!

2008-03-23T14:54:00.000-07:00

Last night, at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel, thinks got pretty ugly when two women were caught talking trash to Philadelphia rapper Eve. Apparently, the altercation got physical and ended in the rapper pushing one woman down a flight of stairs. There are no reports of injury or the words the two women exchanged, but damn! I guess Eve's still got the hood in her.

Lindsay Lohan sex tape. Why Am I NOT Surprised?!

2008-03-20T22:57:00.000-07:00

So it is being reported all over the internet that Lindsay Lohan gets to join the bandwagon full of celebs and their "leaked" sex tapes. Lindsay is said to be featured in her very own skin flick featuring her ex-boyfriend Callum Best. So far, I can't tell if it's really her because it was shot using a cell phone, but various sources are reporting that it is in fact, LINDSAY LOHAN in the video. We'll just have to wait and find out I guess.

I knew Rihanna was a douche, but damn!!

2008-03-19T22:29:00.000-07:00

Damn, I knew Rihanna was turning into a big douche (or giant diva, however you want to phrase it), but this is bad. Now, we all know that celebrities, especially divas, do not travel alone. They all have to have their big entourages and assistants waiting at their beck and whim, and Rihanna is no exception. However, the Barbados native likes to travel in class alone while her friends are left in coach/economy. What a friend, right? Don't believe it? Check out this article about her diva-ish ways.

Rihanna arrived at the British capital’s Gatwick airport with a small entourage of close friends, but when their flight number was called, Rihanna parted company with her clan to head for the luxury cabin. However, Rihanna made sure she wasn’t entirely cut off from her economy pals during the flight - she kept sending messages to them via air stewardesses.
A passenger says, “She arrived in the departure lounge wearing huge dark sunglasses, but everyone knew it was her. She was with her best friend and a few other people. At first I didn’t think it was strange when her friends boarded the plane first - I thought she might be waiting behind because of security. “But her friend sat next to us in economy while Rihanna was living it up in first class. Rihanna kept sending the air stewardess down to her friend and the rest of her entourage with messages.” When Rihanna touched down in Barbados, Prime Minister David Thompson was waiting to welcome her - while a steel band played her hits Umbrella and Don’t Stop The Music.

Fergie pregnant?

2008-03-19T15:46:00.000-07:00

It looks like Fergie and fiance Josh Duhamel may be joining the celebrity baby-making-wagon. Fergie, shown here leaving Hana Sushi restaurant in Santa Monica last night, looks to be sporting some extra baggage, and I'm not talking about Josh. Fergie Ferg seems to be carrying around some extra weight, possibly a baby bump?? We'll have to wait and see.

Vanessa Hudgens' New Album

The Hills are Alive and Nude!

2008-03-19T15:23:00.000-07:00

Before becoming a reality TV star, The Hills castmember, Audrina Partridge had another dream: to be a Playboy model. According to Derober, a few years ago Audrina asked a friend to take nude photos of her to be sent to the Playboy publications building. Unfortunately, however, Audrina's dreams of being a Playboy model were crushed when Playboy sent no response. Poor Audrina. She has not released a comment since the emergence of these new photos. Uncensored pics coming soon.

Hot Tours In The Making

2008-03-19T15:10:00.001-07:00

We all know that Kanye West and Alicia Keys are possibly the hottest tickets on the market right now. But, there are a number of great tours coming to the U.S. this year. To name a few, Janet Jackson will be heading out on tour at the end of Summer '08 possibly with her brothers, Ciara, or Missy Elliott. Danity Kane and Day26 still TBA. Mariah Carey has also announced that she will be hitting the road in support of her new album this year as well.

How Many Men Have Touched Mariah's Body?

2008-03-19T14:57:00.000-07:00

In a recent magazine interview, when commenting on her sexual relationships, Mariah Carey stated that she is a self-proclaimed "prude" in the bedroom. But, she took this confession to a whole new level when, in an interview in the Times of London, where she admittedly made the claim that "I can count the number of people I've had sex with on fewer than the fingers on one hand." That is insane! Especially for a woman who has been in the music business for over a decade.

Rumor has it that the two have hired a masseuse and colour therapist for their newborn twins, Max and Emme, along with two Shetland ponies, diamond-encrusted rattles, 600-count Egyptian cotton for the baby’s cots for their Los Angeles home. Why the hell these kids need these things at 2 weeks I old, I have no idea.

A source said: “Jennifer has gone all-out to give the twins an amazing childhood. She hired a colour therapist to paint the nursery a beautiful aquamarine and light blue - colours which are supposed to have intelligence-boosting properties. She listened to classical music all through her pregnancy and is now having music piped through to the nursery to help relax the babies. She has hired a professional baby masseuse to come in once or twice a week.”

J-Lo has also allegedly turned into a “germaphobe” since becoming a mother and has banned flowers and presents from the twins’ nursery to ensure it remains spotless.

The source added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “She is also paranoid about hygiene. The twins’ wing is totally sterile and all flowers and presents are stored in a separate area so they don’t contaminate the babies’ area. It may sound excessive but she only has her kids’ best interests at heart and wants to give them the start in life she never had.”

I see a little diva and divo in the making. I cannot wait until I can report that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are bankrupt.

Britney and Heidi: Were they attempting to help each other's careers?

2008-03-04T22:37:00.000-08:00

Recently, I found a song on youtube that must have been premiered on KIIS-FM recently by The Hills regular Heidi Montag. Like her first single, yes I said single, in case you missed it on the radio, it's because the song sank faster than the Titanic, especially because it featured her big headed boy-toy Spencer Pratt. Still, this didn't stop Heidi from premiering a new duet on KIIS-FM, this time with train-wreck Britney Spears. The song is called DRAMATIC. I like Britney's parts, but can't express enough how retarded Heidi sounds. Anyways, you can listen to Dramatic here.

Diddy's Got His Eyes On L.A.

Diddy/Puffy/P. Diddy/Puff Daddy/Sean/Sean Combs/Sean John has his eyes on the Los Angeles area. Recently, the rapper has been looking at real estate in the Los Angeles area and has plans to work "bi-coastal" managing talent on the West Coast and the East Coast. Hallelujah! Danity Kane baby!

The Game is Over

2008-03-03T20:50:00.000-08:00

On March 2, 2008, Compton's very own rap star The Game turned himself in to begin serving a 60-day jail sentence as a part of a plea deal in which he pleaded no contest to felony possession of a firearm in a school zone. The charges stem from a 2007 basketball game at the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex in Compton, where the Game alleged beat up another player - then he brandished a pistol and threatening to kill him.In addition to the 60-day sentence, The Game also received 150 hours of community service and three years probation. Let's hope that the butterfly tattooed on his face is covered up enough to keep him from becoming someone's toy in their prison games.

Janet In-Store Appearance

2008-02-29T16:23:00.001-08:00

As previously posted, Janet Jackson made a special in-store appearance at the Virgin Megastore in Hollywood, CA, last night. Not feeling the hair, but I bet it was a great night. Did I mention that she performed a free concert in Hollywood too? Video will be up shortly. As if this was not enough to keep Janet busy for the day, Miss Jackson also made an appearance on the Larry King live show for a short interview where she acknowledged rumors of a Jackson Family Reunion Tour.

“I would love to do it. I get my brothers on the phone all the time. I’m the biggest fan of the the Jackson Five. I have conference calls all the time pushing them to do a huge tour. I tell them if they did, I would love to open for them. They would love to, but one of them is on the fence. You have to respect that. Michael’s worked very hard at his solo career. I don’t know. Maybe he’ll come around. I’m still kind of working on him.”

That would be one hell of a tour, not to mention music history.

O'Brien taking over Leno's Turf

2008-02-27T14:05:00.001-08:00

It's finally about to be official. Conan O'Brien will be taking over Jay Leno's job as the Tonight Show host next year. Apparently, Leno is not happy about this decision. Jay Leno has been the show's host since 1992, a 16 year run. I'm sad. I thought Leno was a good host, didn't care for his jokes or monologues, but I doubt Conan can do any better.

Paris Needs A New Bestie...It could be you!

2008-02-27T13:51:00.000-08:00

Wow. Paris Hilton is doing another reality TV show. But this time, she will be without her long-time on-again-off-again friend, Nicole Richie. No, the two haven't broken up they're friendship again, but Paris and Nicole have agreed that Nicole needs to spend time alone with her and her new baby. "Of course, my real best friend will always be Nicole. She's like my sister, but now she's busy with her daughter, Harlow." Anyways, Paris' show is set to take place in a local L.A. sorority where Paris will be experiencing all that a college sorority has to offer. "I never got to go to college and this will be my chance to be in a sorority and have that experience." On the show, there's a little twist. The group of girls will be competing to become the heiress' new best friend. Haha, great grand prize right?! I give the friendship a week, two at most.

Gary Busey Thinks Too Much of Himself

2008-02-26T21:03:00.001-08:00

Somebody needs to humble Gary Busey before his ego makes his head explode. How can a guy who hasn't been in a successful music since Jesus walked the Earth be so mean to people and talk so much trash about others? Man, he needs a rude-awakening. Check out this video where an 11-year-old girl tries to interview him during the Academy Awards a few nights ago.

Avril Drama: No One Wants Her Tickets or Her House

2008-02-26T19:56:00.000-08:00

Avril Lavigne is facing a lot of hardship nowadays. Perez Hilton thinks she's a douchebag, her Best Damn Tour has the worst damn ticket sales, and now she can't even sell her Mulholland estate. According to Perez, her house has been on the market for quite some time, but the sale has been a no go. Initially listed at $7 million, the estate has dropped to a whopping $5.8 million. That's a pretty big price cut: nearly $2,000,000. Poor Avril.

Michael Jackson in $24 million dollar debt...

2008-02-26T14:35:00.000-08:00

Michael Jackson may be the king of pop, but not even this king could hold on to the NEVERLAND ranch. Maybe if he learned to keep his hands to himself, he might be able to. Anyways, I digress. The popstar's multi-million dollar estate has been foreclosed and is scheduled to be auctioned off soon, unless Michael can come up with $24,525,906.61 soon. If you're interested in living in the Santa Barbara area and witness where so many of Michael's little-boy-dreams came true, this may be the place for you. You can even sleep in his bed, ride his rides, and maybe even get a bottle of Jesus-juice, considering that all the possessions within the property are being included in the auction. According to Fox News,

"It's not just the house either. When Neverland is auctioned, it will include everything: all personal property inside, all fixtures and appliances, furniture, and "all merry go round type devices," any rides, games. The auction literally includes every single thing that is or isn't nailed down."

Some little boy may be happy to know he may finally get back his underwear soon.

Hate Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt??

2008-02-26T14:15:00.001-08:00

If you hate The Hills most notorious couple, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, I've got great news for you (or completely horrible news, however you want to look at it). The two are in the process of creating a video game! What's so great about this? According to Spencer,

“You can definitely play as us or you can play against us,” Pratt said. “You can even torture me.” He said “there's going to be two versions: the adult version and the one for minors,” adding, “just be ready, that's all I have to say.”

Sounds great, right? The two promise that it will be out in time for Christmas 2009. How cool is that? The two biggest media whores get to cash in on how much people hate them. Only in AMERICA!!

Thanks Rihanna.....My Ears Are Bleeding. >:(

2008-02-26T12:55:00.001-08:00

PerezHilton has recently come across footage of Rihanna performing Mariah Carey's classic, Hero, and it is very hard to listen to. I tried to keep telling myself, "She was just a kid! She was just a kid! She probably hasn't had any vocal training!" but my God! From 2:20-the end (that's right, I watched the whole thing) it's just BAD! Like American-Idol-reject-auditions-bad! The sad thing is, if she were to re-sing the song today, it'll probably sound the same.

Wow. You gotta love when celebrities blog, but this takes it to a whole new level. Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz decided to make a video with his girlfriend, Ashlee Simpson, about their input on saving the world. That's right! Finally, someone has come up with a solution. Let's trust Pete Wentz --who let his little Pete pictures leak onto the NET for all to see, and Ashlee Simpson--the lip-syncing, plastic surgeon's dream, with the fate of the world. At least Ashlee Simpson proved one thing in this video, millionaires can still have a Trailer-Park-mentality. Go ASHLEE!

Jonas Brothers or Avril Lavigne Fans!

2008-02-24T23:52:00.000-08:00

Any Jonas Brothers fans? Or Avril Lavigne fans?
According to PerezHilton.com, due to Avril Lavigne's Best Damn Tour low ticket sales, the Jonas Brothers have been added to the tour, joining openers Boys Like Girls. Let's see if she sells out now considering the Jonas Brothers' concerts sold-out in minutes. Maybe she should have went with a different tour title considering how her ticket sales suck so much.

The Best Damn Tour will be in the L.A. area on
Sat. May 3, 2008 - Anaheim, CA

Mizz Jackson in L.A. Sshh!!!

2008-02-24T23:40:00.000-08:00

I guess this is super secret because it hasn't been announced or publicized anywhere yet that Janet Jackson will be in L.A. promoting her new studio album Discipline (released Feb. 26, 2008). If you happen to be in the area on Feb. 26, 2008 at 12:00am, the Virgin Megastore in Hollywood will be selling Miss Jackson's album and giving out wristband's good for a guaranteed spot to meet Janet and have your CD signed by her on Thursday, Feb. 28, 2008. Also, Janet will be performing a FREE concert prior to the meet & greet, so if you aren't lucky enough to get a wristband, you can still see Janet perform for free.

RUMOR: Chris Brown to GLOW...

2008-02-24T23:30:00.000-08:00

Rumor on the NET is that Chris Brown may be joining Kanye West's Glow in the Dark Tour! According to mediatakeout, a rep working for Chris Brown has been quoted stating "Chris will definitely be a part of the tour .... it's just a question of how much of a role he'll play." If this is true, then you have three chances to catch Chris Brown in L.A. (April 21- Nokia Theatre LA, April 22 - Nokia Theatre LA, & June 7 - Staples Center). If you manage to pick up a ticket to these sold out shows, you're in for a great show. Chris' dance moves, Rihanna's voice, and rhymes from N.E.R.D., Lupe Fiasco, and Kanye West, not to mention the special guests. Good Luck finding tickets though, they're being scalped like crazy.

Surprise, Surprise Miss Mary J. Blige!

Surprisingly, tickets to see Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z on April 16, 2008 at the Hollywood Bowl are selling! I just checked which tickets are available still and only the benches in the back of the house are available which means the front row tickets near the stage (which sold for $350.75) are all sold out! WOW! The next question is how many of the VIP experiences have been sold so far. Each VIP Experience package is an additional $395.

If you can afford to give M.J. or Jay-Z your money, click here.

Rihanna + Chris Brown = <3 (?)

2008-02-10T22:41:00.000-08:00

Are Chris Brown and Rihanna a couple? After recently spotting the two together at T-Pain's House of Blues concert on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, I think so. For over a year now, it seemed that Rihanna and Chris would be hooking up, despite her comments that he is too young for her. Maybe she has noticed how much he's grown up. I first suspected something when I saw Rihanna at Chris Brown's concert in L.A. on January 3, 2007. She was really enjoying the show, if you know what I mean. Then at this recent T-Pain show, it was announced that Rihanna and Chris were in the crowd together. When Chris took the stage, he didn't deny the statement. And later, the two attended Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy party together. Is this love?

T-Pain's Own Pre-Grammy Party

2008-02-10T22:00:00.000-08:00

The Stars weren't just coming out for the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles this weekend. T-Pain, who was scheduled to perform alone on February 9, 2008, at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip, decided to invite a few friends. The night started out a few hours late (T-Pain was scheduled to start at 9:00pm; did not start until 11:15pm) but the crowd didn't mind by the end of the night. First among the list of friends stopping by to support the show was new, up and coming rapper, GORILLA Zoe ("Hood N****") who performed two songs including his debut single. He was followed by a surprise performance by Chris Brown (who was announced to be dining with Rihanna at the venue). Chris performed "Kiss Kiss" with T-Pain, along with "Wall to Wall" and before performing their newest single together, "Shawty Get Loose," Lil' Mama exploded on stage and performed her debut single, "Lipgloss." Her performance was followed by the group performance of "Shawty Get Loose" where Lil' Mama and Chris Brown re-enacted their dance battle as seen in the music video for the single. If these guest appearances were not enough, Busta Rhymes took the stage and performed a few of his hits including "Touch It" and "Break Ya Neck." Next, Akon was announced from backstage and he took the stage performing his hits including "Smack That," "I Wanna Love You," and others before taking a stage dive into the crowd where he did a short crowd surf. Finally, at 1:45am, T-Pain was about to end the night when he received word that Nelly was backstage. T-Pain would not end the night until Nelly came out and performed his hit "Flap Your Wings." WOW! Then to make a great night even better I met Ashanti, Busta Rhymes, and Nelly!
