Former season six “American Idol” winner, Jordin Sparks says that she wants to do a duet with season eight runner-up, Adam Lambert.

Sparks revealed her collaboration idea, calling Lambert’s voice “out of this world”.

She adds, “Not since Freddie Mercury or Steven Tyler has there been a voice like his. It would be really cool to do something with him and maybe release my inner rockstar.”

Sparks also praised “American Idol” season one champ, Kelly Clarkson as a role model in how she’s conducting her career.

She says, “I’d love to do something with Kelly Clarkson because she’s been a monumental influence on me. I love how she handles her celebrity. She’s not in the tabloids a lot but everyone knows and respects her because she’s got an amazing voice. That’s something I aim towards.”

Sparks also revealed that she views original Idol Kelly Clarkson as a role model in conducting her pop career.

Pete Wentz’s East Village bar, “Angels And Kings” has been shut down by the NYPD for reportedly serving drinks to minors.

The bar has been closed for three days, but this isn’t its first run-in with not I.D. checking at the door. “Gawker” reports that they’ve already received two citations, which were thrown out of court.

Go here to see the close-up of the restraining order as posted by the NYPD.

If you’re a fan of Megadeth, Slayer, and all things metal, then haul your butt on over to Scott Wharton’s new metal blog, Hook In Mouth. The name of the blog just happens to be one of my favorite Megadeth songs, so you know I have to creep over there to keep up to date on my metal news.

I’m already digging the posts, including the ones about Megadeth nearing the completion of their newest album, how you can win some pretty cool Cannibal Corpse stuff, and how Rob Halford is launching his own record label.

Yes, heiress and reality show bubblehead, Paris Hilton, is releasing a second album.

Of her sophomore effort and follow-up to 2006′s “Paris”, she says, “I just talk about, you know … about things that have happened in my life — about friendship, it’s about love, you know, about certain instances in my life, and I think that people will get a really good insight on me and how I think.”

She adds, “You know, they’re not all fast songs, there’s some, like, slow songs in there as well, but most of the songs are fast because I love going to clubs and I love that world.”

See the video below if you choose to be made dumber by it:

Goth rocker Marilyn Manson was walking out of a building with a friend to a slew of paparazzi. To get their attention (or to distract them), he hits his friend in the junk and then smirks about it.

Check it out:

Funny funny. He looks different somehow, I can’t quite put my finger on it. Think he put on a few pounds? The gothic look sort of loses it’s meaning when it’s a 250 pound dude with Christina Aguilera’s fire engine red lipstick on, doesn’t it? I’m just sayin’.

Where’s the new music anyways?

On Tuesday, Clifford J. Harris (T.I.’s real name) entered into a minimum security federal prison in Arkansas to serve his sentence. He asked that during that year, no friends or family come to visit so that he could tough it out.

Even though Chris Brown has made the public statement, “I am not a monster”, an Eve imposter has some monster-ish words for him.

She says:

“No we don’t no wat happened that night, all i no, is seein rihannas beautiful face bruised and upset … that’s enough for me. and a message to rihanna …

girl your beautiful and talented and u dont need a nigga like that around u … ur special and deserve better…

a clip of him saying he isnt a monster … yeh motherf***er u are. let him or any other man come to me with power fists … id f*** him up …

hes guilty until proven innocent, and no man should ever raise a hand to a woman, im so sick of people kissin his ass.”

It was revealed that Eve is denying the rant, saying that the mad Twitterer isn’t her. Eve’s representative says, “Eve doesn’t Twitter – ever. It is not her who tweeted about Chris Brown.”

I wish it were, though, because whoever is writing those words, that’s someone I can get behind.

Kara DioGuardi has the let the gay cat out of the bag as far as “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert is concerned.

Even though Lambert hasn’t really addressed the rumors circulating as to whether or not he’s gay, DioGuardi has called it like she sees it.

Considering all of the pictures that were leaked of him in drag and smooching up on another guy, I didn’t think it was an issue worthy of him being closeted.

Rumor has it that Lambert will declare his sexuality with the inevitable, “Yes, I’m Gay!” “Rolling Stone” cover. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Britney Spears is being sued by a photographer, after a 2007 incident where she ran over his foot.

The snapper, Rick Mendoza, was taking pictures of Spears when he fell and she ran over his foot with her Mercedes. He walked away from the incident, as you can see in the video.

In the lawsuit, Mendoza says that Britney’s people, also named as defendants, “should have known….Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner.”

One man on the scene even commented that he heard the photographer’s foot crack. He did seem to walk away without any issue, though. I wonder how much he’s suing for.

Dr. Dre must be gearing up for the release of “Detox”, which is reportedly due out in the fall. (Woot!) To tide you over until then, we have this nifty commercial.

Dre just filmed this new commercial for Dr. Pepper, where he says, “Slow is better. Trust me, I’m a doctor.”

Is that “Detox” playing as he spins???

Snap! Clay Aiken slammed Adam Lambert saying that he wasn’t his “cup of tea at all” and that his Johnny Cash performance made his ears bleed, but that’s okay with Lambert. Even though Aiken later apologized, Lambert is really laughing it off.

He said, “I don’t know Clay. I’m glad he’s getting headlines now though, because he wasn’t before. If he wants to ride my coattails about it, good for him.”

Lambert made sure he cleared up the details surrounding the famous TextGate, where people thought that AT&T or some other party were giving votes to Kris Allen.

He added, “There are plenty of standards and practices set up where they make sure that there’s no, foul play. And I don’t think it’s a conspiracy. I think people are making a big deal out of nothing. A couple of employees handed out a couple of phones and showed people how to use them. I don’t think that’s a conspiracy of any kind.”

And there you have it!

Eminem was filming a teaser with Jimmy Kimmel and he was trying to teach him how to rap.

This clip is funny. Jimmy starts out dedicating the song to his “homies in Compton” and Em stops him and asks if he knows anyone there. Jimmy says no and Em tells him that he might not want to say that then.

Jimmy proceeds with the song, dedicating it to his homies in Sherman Oaks, because he knows people there.

Too funny.

Ha. So much for Chris Brown not being a monster.

The D.A. involved in Chris’ case told Rihanna’s lawyer, Donald Etra, that she would be expected at the next court hearing via subpoena.

Etra said that Rihanna will be called to the stand to testify at Chris’ preliminary hearing on June 22, 2009.

Chris Brown’s lawyer also asked for an order requiring the LAPD to provide information on the leaked beating photo, but the motion was rejected.

I hope she lays the smack down on this fool. He’s not a monster?!?? Really? Was there someone else in that car that night?

Adam Lambert and “American Idol” winner Kris Allen performed on “The Today Show” earlier today.

First, the guys talked about the show and how things have changed for them. Kris was also asked about “TextGate” whereas AT&T were said to have rigged the results in favor of his win on the show. Kris joked that he didn’t call AT&T and tell them that he needed more votes.

Adam said that he rolled his eyes when he heard the news and said that people are just looking for something to be dramatic about. He adds that there is no conspiracy, so relax.

And Adam says that he will not be working with Queen!

The guys also performed for the show, with Kris singing “Heartless” and Adam singing, “Mad World”:

Kris also sang the “American Idol” coronation song, written by Kara DioGuardi, “No Boundaries”:

I love how well they got along throughout the show and the results. It bodes well for both of their careers.

Adam Lambert was asked to front one of the biggest rock acts in the history of music, Queen. Who wouldn’t die for the chance to sing the songs sung by the late Freddie Mercury?

Lambert says that he’s not ruling out fronting the band, but he does have some other things planned, as well.

When asked about fronting Queen, he said, “That’s a tough question, because, honestly, how do you say no to being in Queen? I mean, that’s unbelievable. But at the same time, I do have my own thing to do right now, and that’s my goal. So if I could, I would try to do both. That’s the honest question. I would try to do both. I would love to perform with them anytime they wanted me to but I also have my record to do. So we’ll see.”

When speaking about his newest endeavor, a new record, he says, “My record will be kind of a rock-pop-electronic-dance thing. I don’t know how to describe it. I think it’s gonna take on a life of its own, as far as genre goes.”

Lambert goes on to reveal that he would love the opportunity to collaborate with Madonna, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga.

He added, “Madonna would be amazing. I’d love to work with Madonna – I think she’s a genius. She has great ideas. Lady Gaga is brilliant. She’s got her finger on the pulse. She’s the hot thing right now. Katy Perry’s amazing, absolutely amazing.”

Who would you like to see Lambert collaborate with?

Credit Card company American Express has filed a lawsuit against Hole rocker Courtney Love. She reportedly owes them a whopping $352,059.67 in her unpaid balance, along with damages, attorney’s fees, and late charges.

Courtney’s charging privileges have been suspended after she reportedly failed and refused to make the payments.

I’m sure she’ll post something to Twitter or her MySpace page about this soon. And we won’t be able to understand a word of it.
