Joe Jonas ‘ruthless’ on ‘American Idol’?

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

Joe Jonas had a great time during his stint as a guest judge on “American Idol”, but only after getting over his nerves and becoming more candid about their performances.

He said, “I was a little nervous at the start because I was kind of afraid I was going to hurt people’s feelings. You have to really be honest. At first, you feel bad, because you see these people come through, and they just want it really bad. The first few, I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re great.’ Towards like five in, you have to be like, ‘I’m sorry, no. This isn’t for you.’”

He went on to reveal that he saw a lot of talent at the Dallas auditions, even though some of the singers seemed more suited to a certain style. He said that there might have been a diamond in the rough there.

He added, “There were a couple of people that walked through the audition room whose voices were just so different. I’d never heard anything like it. And I was like, ‘Yeah, this guy could totally win it. I would be really proud if somebody from Texas wins.”

The episode he appears in airs tonight!

Brittany Murphy’s husband suing over ‘Happy Feet’

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

Brittany Murphy’s husband, Simon Monjack, is claiming that Warner Brothers is the responsible party in the actress’ death.

He says that he plans to file a wrongful death suit against the company over her termination.

Murphy was said to have been devastated after losing a role in the sequel to “Happy Feet” which he believes caused her to have a heart attack.

And even before the “Happy Feet” nonsense, she was also fired from “The Caller” due to reports about her erratic behavior on set.

Monjack said, “Warner Brothers relied on conjecture and hearsay about the Puerto Rico film [The Caller] for why they canceled Brittany’s role in ‘Happy Feet’.”

RIP Zelda Rubinstein

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

“Poltergeist” phenom Zelda Rubinstein passed away today at the age of 76. She was most known as Tangina Barrons in “Poltergeist”, where she played the short psychic who was called to rid the family home of evil forces.

Late December, it was reported that Rubinstein had suffered from both kidney and lung failure. It was said that she was taken off of life support at that time, due to her failing condition.

Friends denounced that statement, saying that she was on her way to recovery.

She passed away earlier today at Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Los Angeles.

RIP.

Pete Doherty fined over pocketed heroin in court

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

Pete Doherty is not the sharpest tool in the shed. The former Babyshambles singer was fined earlier today for walking into a courtroom last month with some heroin in his pocket.

Maybe this was a cry for help? Or probably just hapless stupidity.

He appeared in the Gloucester Magistrates’ Court in England earlier today for a careless driving charged, but got escorted out of the building when authorities saw heroin fall from his pocket.

Judge Joti Boparai said, “Either this was sheer stupidity or a ploy to get more publicity.”

He was fined $1,200 in costs. The Judge in the case felt it wasn’t worth sending him to rehab because he’s already paying for drug treatment privately.

Well, no one accused him of being smart!

Photo: Mariah Carey covers ‘Observer Woman Magazine’

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

Mariah Carey is on the cover of “Observer Woman Magazine” and she talked about everything from her role as a Social Worker in “Precious”, her family and her racial identity.

On her role in Precious:

blockquote> “I spent as much time as I could getting into it,” Carey says. “She is supposed to be exhausted, so it didn’t matter that I stayed up… I really did the best I could to morph into this woman who goes into this office every day and deals with people needing something from her, trying to get things from her, maybe being disingenuous.”

On her insecurity:

“I am very insecure about my looks, and I always have been because of being mixed race [Carey's mother is Irish-American and her father was an African-American of Venezuelan descent]. It’s not so weird now, and everyone’s accepting it in a big way, but as a child I felt very, um, out of place and didn’t feel pretty. So taking on that character and having Lee make me older in the way he did, I guess it was freeing because I didn’t have to try in any way to look pretty, and you know, when you grow up with that type of insecurity you don’t always feel pretty.”

On her family:

“I don’t want to go into my family stuff, but there were very difficult things that took place. I think certain people like to torture me because they think I’ve had it easier than I actually have and they think: ‘Oh, she’s got this, she’s got that, she’s always had everything perfect’ and it’s sooo not true. You know, I really relate to this movie in a lot of ways.”

On her racial identity:

“Usually the black community knew that I was black, but white people didn’t always – they hadn’t always experienced being around people who were half-black, half-white and who looked more white. My mum’s very, very Irish and my father was light-skinned, so I turned out the way I turned out.”

On whether she still experiences racism:

“Yes. It’ll be a mild thing that I’ll get over, but a friend said to me the other day: ‘Oh yeah, you’ll like her –she’s like you, she’s got a black husband’ [Carey married the 28-year-old actor Nick Cannon last year]. And I’m like: ‘How many times do I have to tell you – my father was black. My mother’s white. In this country that makes you black, do you understand? I know I’m very light-skinned, but stop doing that!’ It’s one of those things that the world doesn’t quite understand. When I first came to Europe, everybody was asking me: ‘Why do you always have black people in your music videos?’ And I was like, errm, how do I answer this one?”

Avril Lavigne says album delay not due to tensions with Deryck Whibley

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

Despite the rumors that there is tension between Avril Lavigne and soon-to-be ex-husband Deryck Whibley, causing a delay in her album’s release, she says it’s quite the opposite.

Her new album, “Pink Crust” was already pushed back once and is likely to be released in the summer. It was rumored that because Whibley was producing the album, he was causing some tension with its release.

She said, “We still work together all the time. He’s one of my best friends. We’ve been friends for a really long time, and we always will be. We’re family and we have a connection. We work really well together.”

Then why the delays?

LeAnn Rimes sings about heartbreak at Sundance

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

Country singer LeAnn Rimes debuted a new song all about heartbreak at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday night.

She performed at an ASCAP party, singing an untitled song about love and sadness. She said, “It’s about love.”

The lyrics:

What have I done?
I broke the heart of the sweetest man
What have I done?
I broke the heart of the only man who’s ever loved me

Who have I become?
I hope you find someone new
Someone who deserves you

My guess is that Eddie Cibrian has already kicked her to the curb for someone else?

Kesha likes to party in the jungle

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

Pop icon Ke$ha says that she takes a jet to South America at least once a year, so she can “reconnect with the wild.”

Last year, she spent Christmas in the Mexican forest, reportedly trying to become one with nature.

She said, “I go to the jungle at least once a year to get away from human beings. Society has taught us to suppress certain things, but if I want to do something, I let the animal inside take over, no matter how uninhibited or irrelevant it is. Crazy people are what keeps life interesting.”

Sounds like someone is busy pimping out their record.

Conan O’Brien back in bed with NBC

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

Former “Tonight Show” host Conan O’Brien is reportedly back in bed with NBC, the network who left him in a lurch over the late night talk show for Jay Leno.

According to TMZ, the network has picked up an hour-long pilot produced by Conan’s company, Conaco. The show is called “Justice” and is centered around a Supreme Court justice who resigns from the Court to open his own private practice.

Interesting how these things play out. I still wonder if he’s going to jump ship to Fox as soon as September rolls around and he’s a completely free agent.

Video: Whiney crybaby music by Justin Gaston

by on Jan.27, 2010, under articles

Underwear model and future reality TV show nobody, Justin Gaston wrote this song called “Paper Hearts” for Miley Cyrus after she ditched him for her “Last Song” co-star Liam Hemsworth.

Folks, I give you: Whiney Crybaby Music by Justin Gaston. If he’s trying to win her heart back, it’s not going to work. Miley already knows that she’s way out of her league with Liam. He’s not in it for the chipmunk love, he’s in it for the association to a rich Disney kid and her generous purse strings.

Tell me I’m wrong. Video is after the jump, if you care. (continue reading…)

Joss Stone thinks British people hate her

by on Jan.26, 2010, under articles

British songstress Joss Stone says that she thinks British people hate her. She’s been slammed over her style of dress and received nothing but bashing when she used a fake American accent at the 2007 Brit Awards.

She says that she can’t figure out why she gets so much negative attention from her own people.

She said, “A lot of people in this country hate me. I seem to annoy people. I’m always on the worst-dressed lists and I just seem to get people very angry. When I went out on stage at the Brits two years ago, there was an outcry because people thought I was talking in an American accent. I’m the sort of person who deals with conflict head-on, but my record company just canceled all interviews and TV appearances because of the fuss. I still don’t get what it’s all about.”

We don’t hate you, Joss. Come sing for us in the States!

What do you think of the new look that 30-year-old former ‘N Sync singer Lance Bass was sporting recently? The photos were taken by Mike Ruiz. You can check out more of his work of his official Facebook page.

It’s almost as if he’s channeling Jared Leto and Adam Lambert. Too much guyliner.

What say you? Do you prefer a more clean-cut Lance or this glammed up version?
