American Idol for Rent

He may have been kicked out of American Idol early but that’s not going to stop former stripper David Hernandez’s hopes of making a name for himself. It’s being said that David has gone to the Big Apple to audition for the cast of Broadway’s ‘Rent’. Paparazzi caught up to the Idol castoff and they say that he seemed a little bewildered by the big city. He kept asking random strangers for help finding a car and even asked a Hasidic Jew whether he was a ‘Pilgrim’. Ok. Moving on, there’s no word whether he got to his audition or is already in. The Broadway production of ‘Rent’ ends its amazing 12-year run on June 1.

Eminem Writes

Eminem was once a rapper, tried to be an actor and is now wanting to be an author. The Detroit native is working on a tell-all memoir which will include details on his life story, photos, journal notes, hand-drawn sketches and lyrics. This would have been hot news if only it happened 5 years ago!

‘Eminem: The Way I Am’ is to be published by Orgion Books. The book is scheduled for release in the UK on October 16 of this year. Eminem’s team is said to be none too happy with the leak of this info as they claim it’s still a work in progress.

Leona Lewis in the US

X-Factor champion Leona Lewis has already taken the UK by storm and is even one of the best selling artists of 2007 on that side of the pond. Now, she’s set to release her debut album ‘Spirit’ in the US on April 28th. And she has some extra things in store.

Sources say that the singer is currently busy in the studio recording two brand new songs for the US release. One song, ‘Forgive Me’, is by singer/producer Akon and another is ‘Misses Glass’ by cutting edge producers/writers Madd Scientist and Rock City. Additionally, Leona has also re-recorded the video for ‘Bleeding Love’.

Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah Montana Concert Tour

Parents everywhere are breathing a collective sigh of relief. Maybe Christmas isn’t ruined after all.

It has been announced that Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah Montana, is extending her extremely popular tour and adding 14 more shows. The shows begin January 11 in Detroit and go until January 31 in Miami.

Disney says it was an overwhelming response from fans that made them decide to add the additional shows. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that it’s a huge revenue maker.

One downfall - the Jonas Brothers, who are touring with Miley, will not be on the added shows. Instead, Aly & AJ will join Miley from January 11 to January 24, with another “special guest” appearing for the remainder of the shows.

Another Amy Winehouse Bluff?

Amy Winehouse is one singer that everyone wishes to get some help. But according to her publicist, she is currently receiving medical help for her drug addiction as of Monday. Really now?

Wino is said to be currently in a program being supervised by doctors. She is also said to be writing a lot for a new record. Her publicist says “It’s a really difficult time and she’s been channeling it into her music.”

Amy is also said to be determined to make it to the Grammy Awards in February after getting 5 nominations last week.

I’m hoping that’s really the case. But I’m not holding my breath.

Lindsay Lohan at the Studio

Lindsay Lohan has been out of rehab for a while already and I guess she found it the right time to get back to work. Sources are saying that the troubled redhead is hard at work on another album. And you’ll never guess who she’s working with – JR Rotem!

Yup. Lindsay is working with the same music producer that reportedly hooked up with Britney Spears and is also responsible for the pop wreck’s commercial failure of an album ‘Blackout’. Is this really a smart move?

Lindsay and JR were spotted together in LA on Monday and by next week they’ll be in each others pants.

Nelly Furtado Secret Wedding?

Ok from surprise nuptials to secret ones. Nelly Furtado was spotted partying at Miami’s Y100 Jingle Ball on Saturday wearing a gold band on her wedding finger.

The engagement between her and Cuban sound engineer Demacio “Demo” Castellon was revealed in July.

A source is quoted as saying: “Nelly was partying backstage with Natasha Bedingfield and Timbaland. She was so happy and there was no missing the gold band on her finger. Natasha took her hand and looked at it and then hugged her and whispered something in her ear. It looked like she was congratulating her.”

All I can say is congratulations Nelly. And who can blame them if they really did do it in secret…not everyone is up for the big celebrity wedding of the Jordan and Peter style.

Madonna is $120 Million Richer

Madonna and a longtime friend were spotted after their workout at a Midtown Gym club on Thursday morning. Perhaps she’s flexing those muscles for when she has to carry a sack full of money some time soon.

The Queen of Pop will reportedly leave her record label Warner Music to sign a $120 million recording and touring deal with Live Nation Inc. Under the terms of the proposed deal, Madonna would receive a signing bonus of $18 million and $17 million advance for each of three albums.

Madonna has been with Warner Music since her 1983 self-titled debut album. We have to wonder what went wrong for them to part ways.

Kelly Clarkson Hard at Work

Kelly Clarkson is still hard at work promoting her flop of an album ‘My December’. She recently released a new music video for one of the singles on the album. The video is for ‘Don’t Waste Your Time’.

Also, Kelly performed onstage at the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation’s 12th Annual Grand Slam for Children (what a mouthful!) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday.

The foundation was created to provide recreational and educational opportunities for at-risk children in Southern Nevada. They were able to raise more than $8.1 million.

Not to take away from the foundation’s success or anything, but I’m sure they would have gotten more had the performer been someone better than Kelly or if was Kelly before ‘My December’

Rihanna Went Home with Justin Timberlake

When the VMAs got over and the winners were announced (there were some really bad losers as well, like Kayne West) it was time to party and there were parties all over the town. All we did was watch them hang out with their friends, brag about themselves, drink and party. And we all couldn’t wait to tune in and watch it. It made me feel sort of sad to think of it that way, quite honestly. And who went with is one of my business but one thing that has attracted attention is that Justin Timberlake took singer Rihanna home and left his girlfriend Jessica Biel at the party itself

Britney Spears’ 2007 VMA Performance

For the past few weeks there has been a lot of hype surrounding Spears’ supposed ‘comeback’ performance but let’s just say it was less than mediocre. She was wearing heels that she could barely walk in and her performance consisted of her going from one side of the stage to the other in a jeweled bra and panties lip-syncing. Its sad seeing someone I idolized growing up, completely bomb on stage. There was so much hype surrounding this performance, not only from fans but from fellow celebrities. You would think that she would have done a better job at performing, but she gave up. She’s gained a lot of weight, her dancing was lame and her lip synching was worse than Ashlee Simpson.

2007 MTV VMA’s Worst Dressed People

Obviously the worst dressed star on the carpet was Lil Mama. I don’t know if she was trying to look like Little Bo Peep or a space Martian but it was wrong all around. Beyonce looked like a gold statue of liberty, that dress was really unflattering for her curvaceous figure. Shanna Moakler looked like she stole her grandmother’s curtain and had a dress made. What’s with the pigeons? What has happened to the dressing sense of these girls, Beyonce is such a beautiful lady and her curvy body is the talk of many hot chat sessions but I think she just couldn’t find anything this time to match her looks, so much so for designer dresses and cosmetics. Again coming back to Lil Mama, Ugly yeah, haha. I hate criticizing but what the hell is that Lil Mama? Maybe it was a dare for a LOT of money?

Paris Hilton and 50 Cent Getting Close

This is really kind of a weird co-incidence but it just happens to be that when ever I am writing about Lindsay Lohan there is some news that has Paris Hilton too. After getting out of jail this girl has not been in the news for anything and so should it be coz this girl’s got nothing in her to suggest that she is worth a penny. But loves to be seen and written about so how she could possibly manage to keep herself in the spotlight. Isn’t this the weirdest thing you’ve seen in a long time? When I first saw this picture, I thought it was a fluke. But then I could see the point of the two of them being together well coz both of them are pretty much the worst things in their own field, Paris cannot sing, act and Curtis, well he can sing but he has such bad lyrics and such a nasty looking personality that no one would bother if he went past them.

James Blunt Only Knows Saucy Spanish Phrases

Singer James Blunt has turned to Spanish in an attempt to woo potential girlfriends - but he only knows saucy phrases. He says, “I can say two things, ‘Tienes un condom?’ and ‘Cosquillee mis pelotas’. The first means ‘Do you have a condom?’ and the second is ‘Tickle my balls.’ You tickle my balls. You tickle my balls. You tickle my balls, it’s true. I bet you all that’s the only phrase this pervert knows in Spanish and he would have learnt to say the same words over and over again with a few changes and that’s the only thing this chap wants to tell his potential girlfriends.
