Reformed drug addict Courtney Love is urging Britney Spears to get the help that she needs….or end up like Marilyn Monroe. Doesn’t she mean Anna Nicole?

Hours after Britney was committed involuntarily, Courtney went public with her concerns. She said, “I know exactly what’s going on, having been there. If she doesn’t get help something very, very bad is gonna happen.”

She aint gonna listen to you, Courtney, she won’t even listen to her own mother.

Despite rumors to the contrary, Paul McCartney has said that he did not have angioplasty:

“People are ringing and texting me saying, `Are you OK?’” he writes in a posting on his newly redesigned Web site. “I hadn’t seen the report so I was puzzled by so many enquiries about my health. So I think it’s a good time to put this rumour to rest.”

He said that over a year ago, a routine exam revealed something minor, but he has been assured that he’d be fine.

He has said that recent media reports of him undergoing angioplasty is the reason why he’s been getting so many calls and messages regarding his health. He wants to assure all of us that he’s just fine.

Glad to hear it, Paul!

If you think you’re in for a Led Zeppelin concert anytime soon, then you are sadly mistaken. Jimmy Page has said this in Tokyo recently: “The amount of work that we put into the O2, both ourselves rehearsing and also for the staging of it, was probably what you’d put into a world tour anyway.”

He also went on to say that Robert Plant has a project going on with Alison Krauss and he’s been busy with that, and will be until at least September.

So, we can wait around and hope that they’ll do a full tour. I know I will…I’d go see Robert Plant, but the tradeoff is seeing Alison Krauss sing or something…..and I just don’t think I could put myself through that. It’s just not worth it to me.

Michael Jackson and his kids, Paris and Prince Michael, were seen here roaming around the Luxor Casino in Vegas. They’re not wearing their masks either!

I’m not sure really if Michael is their biological father. These kids don’t look mixed at all. They would at least have some African American features in them, wouldn’t you think?

How freakin’ cute is that! Right? It’s funny and in the end, he still can’t win! Poor Justin.

Snoop Dogg has failed in a bid to persuade UK officials to lift a ban preventing him from entering the country.

The ban stems from an incident where Snoop was involved in a brawl at London’s Heathrow Airport in 2006. He recently attempted to get the order overturned –unsuccessfully.

The incident at the airpot left seven police officers injured and resulted in the Snoop ban. Man, they must hold a grudge forever. Jeez, it’s been almost two years.

Girlfriend has lost it. Seriously. Reports have said that she’s getting treatment for her mental disorder, but I’m not likely to believe them. I think she has spoiled rich brat syndrome, but that’s just me.

And the poll numbers are in! So far it’s not looking too good for Beyonce, who is dead last in the poll of who the public is most excited about seeing perform at the Grammy Awards.

At this time, the Foo Fighters are tied with Carrie Underwood at 28%. 18% percent are looking forward to seeing Aretha Franklin and 15% wanna see Rihanna.

For the record, I voted for Beyonce, cuz that broad can sing!

Apparently, Jewel’s career has taken a serious downturn. Or, nothing spells success like hosting a chili cook-off!

Anyways, I’ve only known a couple of her songs anyways, it’s not like she’s Britney Spears or anything. Okay, maybe that was a bad example, but Jewel’s music doesn’t really stick in your head like those of the major musical players….right? And right now I’m sure that she’s happy that she’s not Britney Spears cuz she’d be locked up tight at a hospital.

She is famous for “You were meant for me” and “Intuition”, and that’s it basically. Maybe she can work her way back up to doing fairs or something?

Blake Fielder-Civil has admitted that he lived in fear of waking up and hearing that his wife, Amy Winehouse, had died from a drug overdose. He said, “Every day I fear the prison chaplain is going to walk into my cell and break the news that Amy is dead.”

He also revealed that Amy was sometimes high on drugs when she came to visit him in prison and regularly fell asleep during their meetings.

He has warned Amy about drug use, saying, “Quit smoking crack or you’ll be dead in three months.”

He admitted that they both blew $1,000 a day on heroin and cocaine before he got locked up, but he has since cleaned up his act.

He went on to say that he was glad that Amy got caught on video smoking crack, because she is getting the help she deserves.

Britney Spears’ mother Lynne has staged her intervention, which has Britney in the UCLA Medical Center for another 5150 hold. Lynne Spears has barred Britney’s manager, Sam Lutfi, from seeing the poptard while she’s on lockdown again.

Dr. Phil has already betrayed the trust of the Spears family, by making her first breakdown on January 3rd a public spectacle. Now, he’s back in our faces, just to tell us that he doesn’t know anymore than we do….AND — get this: he’s staying out of it.

Hey, if you’re going to stay out of the whole mess, then stop commenting on it, you douchebag. Jesus, stop being an opportunist and keep your mouth shut already.

Forbes has come out with their list of top female earners in the music business. Madonna topped that list with a whopping $72 million between June 2006 and June 2007.

That money is from live shows and various merchandise. That’s enough for her to buy a bunch of houses and turn them into gyms.

Here’s the full list:

1. Madonna – $72 million
2. Barbra Streisand – $60 million
3. Celine Dion – $45 million
4. Shakira – $38 million
5. Beyonce – $27 million
6. Gwen Stefani – $26 million
7. Christina Aguilera – $20 million
8. Faith Hill – $19 million
9. Dixie Chicks – $18 million
10. Mariah Carey – $13 million
11. Hilary Duff – $12 million
12. Avril Lavigne – $12 million
13. Martina McBride – $12 million
14. Britney Spears – $8 million
15. Carrie Underwood – $7 million
16. Nelly Furtado – $7 million
17. Fergie – $6 million
18. Jennifer Lopez – $6 million
19. Sheryl Crow – $6 million
20. Norah Jones – $5.5 million

It’s true. According to reports, Sheryl Crow has said that she uses her new album to put her little one, Wyatt, to sleep. It works for me, too. I just put that crap on and I’m out in no time.

Heck, that’s even better than reading an encyclopedia for insomnia.

Just my opinion.

Girlfriend has lost it. Seriously. Reports have said that she’s getting treatment for her mental disorder, but I’m not likely to believe them. I think she has spoiled rich brat syndrome, but that’s just me.

Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch, has said that his daughter is not ready for the pressure of a live show. He has insisted that she is too fragile to cope with performing at such a prestigious event, but has said that he’s happy that she is finally getting the help she needs.

Mitch has been adamant that her attend the ceremony. He said, “I’m not sure the Grammys are going to happen. I don’t want her to go – I think it might be a bit too soon for her. She’s not well – that’s why she’s in rehab. But she’s doing okay. She is getting good treatment.”

Amy Winehouse has been nominated for six Grammy Awards for 2007 and was reportedly planning to perform at the February 10th show.

Cuz this dude is a big freakin’ dork. And he sucks singing Journey. But I guess at 2am when the bar is about to close, everyone sounds good, right?

Gwen Stefani just found out that she is 13 weeks pregnant with her and Gavin Rossdale’s second child. They found out at Cedars-Sinai Hospital and couldn’t wait to share the news with everyone.

I am sure they are delighted to have a little brother or sister for Kingston. And he is so adorable, I just wanna pinch his cheeks.

Congratulations Gwen & Gavin!

I dunno if I could picture Lenny Kravitz and Paul McCartney doing a duet, but that’s exactly what Lenny wants to do.

He owns a mixing desk from London’s Abbey Road Studios where Lenny says all of the Beatles albums were recorded. Now, he wants Macca to fly out to his home in Miami to record a song with him.

“When you see pictures of John Lennon sitting at the desk it’s just priceless. I’d love to bring Paul McCartney back to my place and make a record with him. How cool would that be?”

I don’t think that would be too far-fetched of an idea. I like both singers, so it would definitely make an interesting combination.

Ashanti made an appearance at Pure Nightclub, Saturday night and performed her song, “The way I love you” for the crowd. It’s a short clip, but it’s still good. I like Ashanti, but my favorite song by her is still the duet she did with Ja Rule, “Always on Time.”

Erykah Badu’s new video, Honey, for your viewing pleasure. What do you think?

I like the beat to the song, but the video looks a little strange to me. But, that’s just Erykah for ya.

Michael Jackson is set to make a surprise comeback at the SuperBowl this weekend in TV ads to promote the 25th anniversary of Thriller.

The weirdo former star is to be honored in a Pepsi commercial based on the Thriller video, which air during the game between the New England Patriots and the the New York Giants on Sunday.

This is all a nice way for him to pimp out the special anniversary version of his album, cuz you know, the man’s got bills to pay.

Hard rockers Black Tide will embark on a U.S. tour with metalcore favorites All That Remains. The trek will kick off in late February in San Francisco and conclude in New Jersey at the famed Starland Ballroom.

Where’s the Cleveland date guys???

Amy Winehouse is currently in rehab and the video that showed her smoking crack could quite possibly be the reason why she ended up there.

Family, friends, and fans all alike urged Amy to seek treatment for her demons, even Blake Fielder-Civil said that if she didn’t get help, she’d be dead within three months.

Amy has now cut all ties with her old pal Pete Doherty because she feels that it was one of his friends who filmed her smoking crack.

Sources say that she has a suspicion that it might have something to do with one of Pete’s drug supplying friends. At this time, she is not taking any of Pete’s calls and has said that she’s not happy with him.

“The truth is she is devastated that one of her so-called friends has stitched her up and filmed her.”

If anything, maybe Amy will come around after she has been clean for a little while and may even thank Pete Doherty and his friend for being the catalyst in getting rid of her drug habit. Pete isn’t really that much better, either….He doesn’t do the crack himself, he shares it with his kittens.
