Much Much More
The Much Music Awards, hosted by The Jonas Brothers, aired last night live from Canada. On stage, Lady GaGa and Kelly Clarkson heated it up with their hits, but unfortunately the focus of last night’s awards turned to what went down offstage instead. Apparently, The Black Eyed Peas, who also performed last night, weren’t too happy with what celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, had been writing about their new album. The group confronted Perez at the rehearsals for the show and then continued to confront the blogger throughout last night’s celebration. Based on Perez’s site, and a terrible vlog he posted where he calls Fergie “Fugly” and Will.I.Am a whole slew…

T.M.T.H.
Before Adam Lambert was another controversial Idol contestant. However, Danny Noriega didn’t have the pipes that Lambert does and so his time on the hit show was short lived. But, even though his time on live T.V. was short, his time in the spotlight continued. He appeared on Rosie O’Donnell’s cruise as a featured performer and continued to make headlines across the nation. And not to be out done by Lambert, Danny has released his first single, “24/7”, which is paired with a horrible music video. And while this song doesn’t scream Top 40 smash, I am sure gay clubs all over the nation will be playing this single. It’s…

Kanye To Share the Spotlight?
Kanye West is preparing to hit the road for a big U.S. tour, but he won’t be traveling alone. It was announced last week that Lady GaGa and Kanye will share the bill for one long set as part of a national tour, probably because West wouldn’t be able to sell out without some major support. And even though I can’t stand Kanye’s cocky attitude, I do appreciate what he’s done for music. As for Lady GaGa, the “lady” is unstoppable! She currently has three singles in the top 10 and is burning up radio stations everywhere. The Idol Insider has been wanting to bring you some Lady-inspired posts for…
