    Hush Hush Dolls

    April 20, 2009 /

    The Pussycat Dolls, who’s lead/only singer is Nicole Scherzinger are releasing a new single off their mildly successful album, Doll Domination. Their last single, “Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)”, from the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack got the girls some attention that they hadn’t seen since “When I Grow Up” hit the airwaves last summer. When that single was released, fans noticed something a little peculiar, the song was list as performed by A.R. Rahman & The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger. Well, last time we checked Nicole was a part of the group, ignoring the non-released, non-existent solo career she tried launching the past two years. Now, their new single,…

    April 19, 2009 /

    On May 5th, Justin Timberlake will appear on Saturday Night Live, where he will serve as host, for the third time, and perform with musical guest, Ciara. The duo will perform their current hit, “Love and Sex and Magic”. And if you’ve seen the sexified video, you’ll definitely want to check out the, what promises to be a steamy, performance. This is Ciara’s first time on SNL and the first time they will perform this song together. Justin is a SNL veteran, appearing in some of the most watched clips from the show, including the SNL Digital Short, “Dick In A Box”, and the “Single Ladies” video shoot parody with…

    Hooking Up Is Hard To Do

    April 18, 2009 /

    We brought you Kelly’s news about her new single, “I Do Not Hook Up” a few weeks ago and now the video is done and set to premiere on April 20th on MTV. But, in the meantime, we have it in its entirety right here! We love the video and judging by the storyline, it looks like she does, in fact, “hook up”. That’s good news for us!

No, not to gamble or party, – however, plenty of that debauchery will ensue – but we are going to see the biggest selling “circus” on earth –The Circus Tour Starring Britney Spears. The show, next Saturday at MGM Grand, will kick off with The Pussycat Dolls performing their slew of hits and it’s rumored that Girlicious, the sister-PCD group, will also perform to help hype the return of our Queen, Britney.

    The Carnival Ride Continues

    April 15, 2009 /

    Recently named Entertainer of the Year, Carrie Underwood, joined Sugarland, Darius Rucker, and Kenny Chesney on Oprah yesterday, where she talked about her success and dating in the public eye and performed her last single, “Just A Dream”. In a clip, where she allowed Oprah’s cameras to follow her for A Day In the Life piece, she was shown in the recording studio writing a new song, which leads us to believe the rumors are true that her follow up to Carnival Ride will be out by the year’s end. So it looks like her current reign as Top Female Vocal and Entertainer of the Year could continue in 2010,…

    Cheetah No Mo’

    April 14, 2009 /

    Former 3LW star, Adrienne Bailon, was on Angie Martinez’s radio show today and made some big announcements. First, the Cheetah Girls, which is what became of 3LW after one of the girls left the group, are no officially over. She said that their last tour was their last time together, as a group. Rumors surfaced that the group was over, after some racy NSFW photos were posted online taken from her stolen laptop, and her contract with Disney was in jeopardy. Then, in early 2009 Bailon appeared solo on two tracks from the soundtrack to “Confessions Of A Shopaholic”. Then, today she announced that she has officially been signed to…

    The Power of Disney

    For you tweens on Idol Insider, this is for you! One the many Disney princesses, Demi Lovato, is teaming up with one of the youngest American Idol contestants, David Archuleta, to embark on a US, summer tour. Now the Idol Insider would think that Archuleta would get the headling, or at the very least, a co-headling spot on the tour, but the promotional poster seems to promote it the other way around, dubbing him a “special guest” on the “Demi Lovato Summer Tour”. Anywho, for those who are interested, here are the dates (and no, we won’t be there): June 21: Hartford, Conn. (XL)June 22: Wilkes-Barre, Pa. (Wachovia Arena at…

    Top 8: The Year They Were Born

    April 10, 2009 /

    As soon as Idol‘s Top 8 show started off, I had a feeling we were in for a long haul, as the judges took up two whole segments of the show with their baby photos and annoying banter. But once Paula and Simon finished their lovefest, the show started with Danny Gokey offering a horribly arranged version of “Stand By Me”. As the weeks go on, I realize the more I really don’t care for Mr. Gokey. I mean, he’s talented, but really doesn’t give me anything to look forward to – and go ahead and hate on me, but you know it’s true. Following Danny came more boring and…

    April 9, 2009 /

    Britney Spears put her concert on hold, four songs in to the show, on Wednesday night during the Vancouver stop of her Circus tour because it was too smokey in the arena. An announcement came on the loud speaker, informing fans that the show would not continue if concert goers continued to smoke tobacco and marijuana. 30 minutes later the show continued, as planned, but Britney had a special message to her fans at the end of the show. It’s ironic and hilarious, check it out.
