The Sun is offering to pony up the cash for James Blunt to stop singing!

The singer has promised to give up singing for the right price.

He said to Uncut magazine in a recent interview, “Listen, I’m a reasonable human being. If people pay me enough, I’ll stop playing my music.”

So The Sun has a blank check for James to fill in with the amount he would take to stop putting out those crappy love songs.

Janet Jackson has been hospitalized, according to her rep about an hour ago.

She reportedly “got suddenly ill during the sound check” before her Montreal concert and had to be rushed to the hospital.

She is currently being monitored at the hospital and no further details have been released about her condition.

Think she’s pregnant? Or maybe she has ‘noonespayingattentiontomeitis’. What do you think?

Scott Weiland is gearing up for the release of his solo album, Happy, and is releasing a track called Paralysis. You can check out the track for yourself, here.

It reminds me a lot of a watered down David Bowie. You think that was the sound he was going for? I’d much rather listen to his Velvet Revolver stuff.

Amy Winehouse is facing arrest over allegedly punching a woman dancer in the face. The dancer, Sherene Flash, said that Amy punched her in the eye after she asked to take Amy’s picture.

Amy was seen running off, yelling, “Life can’t go on. I can’t do this any more.”

Authorities were called to the scene where they took a statement from Sherene. Amy will probably be questioned in the incident soon.

A friend said, “Sherene asked Amy if she could take a photo. Amy was okay at first, but when Sherene asked if a friend could get in the shot, Amy lashed out.”

Amy is officially crazy! Like Britney crazy only her British accent is real. Where’s the Save Amy t-shirts?

Sebastian Bach has won the CMT show Gone Country. Yech. I’m feeling the need to vomit right about now. Can you believe this nonsense?

I don’t know if Sebastian felt that he couldn’t make it as a rock singer, or whatever, but he has apparently turned his sights to the realm of country music. Run!

Here’s a clip of the song that Bas sang for the show, called One More Battle With A Bottle. Cringe.

Watch out Jessica Simpson, you’re not the only one out there with a beer to pawn!

Kid Rock is entering the beer race with the help of Drinks Americas Holdings and is launching his premium domestic beer, next year.

Drinks Americas CEO says, “Kid Rock is a reflection of great American rock and roll music and the American spirit, and we think we can create a beer in that same image. There is no question in our mind that people will try a beer that Kid Rock will stand by and when they like it, a great and incredibly valuable trademark will be created.”

Kid Rock: Beer for rednecks.

AC/DC are refusing to sell their music through iTunes, because they fear that their fans will only buy “a few tracks”. The band wants us all to buy the entire album as a package because they say the songs “belong together”.

Angus Young says, “We don’t make singles, we make albums. If we were on iTunes, we know a certain percentage of people would only download two or three songs from the album. We don’t think that represents us musically.”

I love AC/DC, but if I can’t buy only the songs that I want, then they can keep their album. I hate to be one of those people that would buy the album just to find that it sucks except for a few good tracks.

This is the official new song by Britney Spears, Womanizer.

It’s upbeat. What do you think?

Her voice is definitely a little different on this song, than her other stuff.

Lyrics to Womanizer by Britney Spears

Superstar
Where you from, how’s it going?
I know you
Gotta clue, what you’re doing?
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here
But I know what you are, what you are, baby

Look at you
Gettin’ more than just re-up
Baby, you
Got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin’ like a good one, but I call ‘em like I see ‘em
I know what you are, what you are, baby

Womanizer

Boy, don’t try to front
I know just what you are

Womanizer

Daddy-O
You got the swagger of champions
Too bad for you
Just can’t find the right companion
I guess when you have one too many, makes it hard
It could be easy, but that’s who you are, baby

Lollipop
Must mistake me as a sucker
To think that I
Would be a victim not another
Say it, play it how you wanna
But no way I’m ever gonna fall for you, never you, baby

Maybe if we both lived in a different world
It would be all good, and maybe I could be ya girl
But I can’t ’cause we don’t

What do you think of the lyrics?

Amy Winehouse was sent a bill for $46,250 after she was said to have vomited all over a dress that was sent to her on loan by a designer. According to reports, she has been blacklisted by fashion publicists, who regularly send free clothes to celebrities.

A source says, “Harvey Nichols loaned Amy $25,000 worth of silk and satin dresses. Unfortunately, while wearing one of the frocks, she went on an all night bender. She ended up in the loos, where she was violently sick. Let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. She eventually couriered them back on Monday, but didn’t wrap them separately. So sick had gone on all the clothes.”

Amy, note to self: If you’re going to drink until you’re stupid, at least have some common sense the next day.

Busta Rhymes has been allowed back into the U.K., after he spent hours detained at the airport earlier today. They detained him over “unresolved convictions” here in the U.S. Officials at the airport tried to re-route the rapper to Amsterdam, until Busta’s lawyer secured an injunction preventing that.

U.K. authorities have now granted him permission to enter the country, where he’s due to perform a charity concert at the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow.

The detention was said to have been related to previous convictions for drunk driving and assault.

This is the trailer for the new movie Notorious, based on the life and death of Christopher ‘Notorious B.I.G.’ Wallace.

Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler does not like to be impersonated on blogs. Who does?

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A., Steven claims that impersonators have posted pictures and intimate details of his private life with his girlfriend, his children, and his mother.

Steven’s mother recently passed away, so I can see how he’d be mad about that. Apparently those sites were removed by Google in December of last year, but have since resurfaced.

Kanye West has pulled the plug on what was going to be another chart battle with 50 Cent, by releasing his new CD ealier than previously planned.

His album, 808s & Heartbreak was supposed to be dropping a week after 50′s Before I Self Destruct in December, but the rapper says that he’s going to release it in November instead.

Too funny!

Britney Spears’ alleged promos for her new single, Womanizer, are faked by fans, according to BreatheHeavy.com.

They have the photographic proof that the poses used in each of the two supposed promos were taken from pictures of Brit from her Onyx Hotel tour. They look good, though.

We’ll just have to wait and see what her people have come up with.

Clay Aiken has finally come out of the closet and confirmed what we already knew, he’s gay. In the October issue of People, the American Idol singer says that he is gay and that he “cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.”

Good for him! It’s about time that he’s able to be himself and be comfortable with that.

For the four 11-year olds out there that still care, you should know that Miley Cyrus is not trying to get fired from Disney. Recent reports suggested that she was showing up late for tapings of Hannah Montana and causing havoc on the set of the show. She was said to be wanting to ditch Disney and pursue her singing career. But that’s not so, according to Miley.

She says, “I am fully committed to Hannah Montana. It’s what gave me this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people. I’m really excited about our new season. We are making great new episodes that I can’t wait for our fans to see and I’m looking forward to the Hannah Montana movie that will be out in the spring.

There you have it, so now we can all go back to what we were doing before we knew this useless piece of information.

Ted Nugent has offered his bodyguard services to former Beatle Paul McCartney for his concert in Israel on Thursday.

Despite being polar opposites in the fact that Ted is an NRA enthusiast and Paul being an animal lover, Ted says that he should take his offer seriously due to death threats from Muslim extremists.

Ted says, “Regardless that Paul and I have our obvious social, cultural, and culinary differences outside of music, I will not bend or waiver to voodoo religious whackjobs and neither should Paul. It would be my pleasure to keep this legendary musical hero safe from terrorists and mad men, and then buy him a nice dinner of tofu. I’m Dirty Harry with a ponytail, and I’m at Paul’s service.”

But will Paul take him up on that?

Kelly Osbourne has signed a book deal to write her memoirs. This is the most ludicrous news I’ve heard all day. Apparently, there’s a publisher out there that thinks Kelly has an interesting story to tell at the tender age of 24. I know her dad is a huge rock star, but she’s a spoiled brat that lives a posh life. That’s going to appeal to a lot of people, right?

She has signed the deal with Virgin Books to release the book later on this year. She is going to be detailing her two trips to rehab for her addiction to painkillers and her feud with Christina Aguilera.

Do you think that’s interesting enough to pick the book up?
