The stage production will be named after the group’s 1998 hit “Viva Forever” and will be created by Mamma Mia! producer Judy Craymer. All of the girls are excited about the project and think its a great…

Rihanna’s new single “Rude Boy” is quickly making its way up the Hot 100 chart and now she’s giving us some “boom, boom, boom” in a video to accompany the jam. The video, a modern throw back on the 80’s, reminds me of something we’d see from rapper/singer MIA and shows off a sexy, yet still hard version of the once Good Girl Gone Bad. The song wasn’t initially a favorite from her new disc, Rated R, but it’s slowly growing on me – giving me what I “want, want, want”.  

Kelly Clarkson, the world’s first American Idol, is creating quite a bit of buzz over a post on her blog earlier today.  The post inspired by comments made by Big Machine Records CEO, Scott Borchetta.  Borchetta became defensive over the critically slammed performance by Taylor Swift at Sunday’s Grammy’s ceremony.  Swift, a Big Machine recording artist, choked her way through a duet with the legendary Stevie Nicks, leaving critics and fans unimpressed and questioning why the artist continues to receive praise for her work.  Borchetta was quoted, saying: “This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This…

Last night marked the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards live on CBS.  The performances were great, the acceptance speeches were short, and the house was packed with A-List stars.  While the rumors that Britney Spears would perform turned out false, yet again, the starlet did attend the ceremony and the night had some great performances.  Some of the highlights included Green Day‘s “21 Guns” as it will appear in the upcoming stage production American Idiot, P!nk‘s aerial performance, Black Eyed Peas and Lady Antebellum singing their hits “I Gotta Feeling” and “Need You Now”.  My favorite performance of the night was the 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson featuring Carrie Underwood, Celine…
