Concert Announcements: Taylor Swift and Queen Latifah

Friday, October 9, 2009

Queen Latifah, star of the mid-'90s Fox show Living Single, a.k.a. the greatest sitcom ever, is coming to Fillmore Miami Beach on November 17. Unfortunately, she's not taking Synclaire, Maxine, Regina, and Overton with her to do live Living Single theater. No, instead she'll be banking on her musical talent to entertain the crowd during "The Persona Tour." Persona is Latifah's first album in six years, and it's getting mixed to positive reviews. Tickets are available now through Live Nation.

Taylor Swift, country music's hottest thing and my guiltiest of pleasures has announced a second leg of her "Fearless" Tour will be coming to South Florida. According to Live Nation, the 19-year-old sensation will be visiting Sunrise on March 7, so it only makes sense she'll be playing BankAtlantic. Tickets aren't yet on sale, but stay tuned to Crossfade or Ticketmaster for updates. And check out Taylor Swift's adorably cheesy award-winning video after the jump.

But we're pleased to report that Jessica Alba has seen sense and dyed her hair back to a much more appealing darker shade.

Jessica Alba pretties up in Lanvin as she presents Johnny Depp with the Most Anticipated Fantasy Movie for Alice in Wonderland during Spike TV’s Scream Awards 2009 held at the Greek Theatre on Saturday (October 17) in Los Angeles.

Taylor Swift Has A Computer-Generated Dream

The video for Taylor Swift’s coming-of-age-thanks-to-boys tale “Fifteen” is out, and its heavy reliance on computer-generated scene-setting gives it the overwhelming feeling of a bad dream in which you’re transported back to high school, and you have to deal with all the insecurity-borne crap that you thought you got past after graduation and therapy. (Uh, you guys have those sorts of dreams, too, right?) I sort of feel like the overwhelming literality of the video and cheesiness of its setting torpedo the plain-spokenness of the track a bit, but something tells me that the clip won’t stop the song’s aphorisms about youth and love from being quoted at length on many teengirl Facebook pages.

Emma Watson vies for the coveted Milano

Emma Watson is making a serious bid for the much sought Milano award this year.

The Milano is given out each year to the television star that is regarded as most able to inspire masturbation in males of all ages. Past winners read like a who's who list of American masturbatory fantasies, with such names like Tracey "Carol Seaver" Gold or Shannon "Brenda Walsh" Doherty. And of course Alyssa "Samantha Micelli" Milano, whom the awards were named after.

Taylor Swift shows Chicago why she has a following

October 10, 2009

A lot can happen in a year. Last October, Taylor Swift was one of the acts that played near Soldier Field as part of the Chicago Country Music Festival. On Friday, she was headlining the first of two sold-out nights at the Allstate Arena.

During that 12-month span, Swift released her sophomore album, "Fearless," and saw her music cross over to the pop charts. She rode a wave of media attention that transformed her from country star to pop-culture phenomenon. Then last month, an awards show incident made Swift a household name.

Taylor Swift 'Confused By Dating'

Saturday, 10th October, 2009

Taylor Swift is still baffled by dating and reveals she has no rules when it comes to new romances.

"I think the reason I write about love so much is because I have no idea what is going on with love." Swift explains. "It's unpredictable and I haven't figured it out yet."

"Every love story is different and I like to approach every person I meet like they're a separate book, rather than a chapter in a whole book. I don't have one general theory for how to date a person."

Despite being able to perform to tens of thousands of fans at sold-out arenas, Taylor still gets shy around guys she has the hots for.

The Avril Lavigne Corollary

In commemoration of this reportorial approach, I would like to add the "Avril Lavigne" corollary to "opinions of the shape of the earth differ" journalism.

"Opinions of the shape of the earth differ" journalism was given its name by Paul Krugman in a 2000 op-ed about George W. Bush's alleged campaign trail falsehoods. "If a presidential candidate were to declare that the earth is flat, you would be sure to see a news analysis under the headline ''Shape of the Planet: Both Sides Have a Point.'' After all, the earth isn't perfectly spherical," Krugman wrote.

Avril Lavigne in News Notes

Avril Lavigne filed for divorce from her husband, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Jason Whibley Friday (October 9), in Los Angeles, California. The pair, who have been married for three years, have no children together. Lavigne cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split…

Avril Lavigne 'Denies New Romance Claims'

Avril Lavigne hasn't moved on as quickly as some media reports have made out.

It has been claimed the 'Girlfriend' punker had already got herself a new boyfriend, less than a month after she split from husband Deryck Whibley.

The Sum 41 rocker was seen holding hands with a unnamed female, and reports soon suggested Avril had also found new love in the form of billionaire Justin Murdock. But Lavigne's rep tells GossipCop that the stories are "totally 100 per cent not true."

Avril Lavigne's ex caught with new love

A mere week after Avril Lavigne filed for divorce from Derek Whibley – the Sum 41 frontman was spotted in a heavy breathing session with new love interest Hanna Beth Merjos.

The two were caught on camera by TMZ.com openly kissing his in at Tattoo Mania in Hollywood on Monday night.

Avril Lavigne gives LA mansion to ex-husband

Sunday, 25 October , 2009

Rockers Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley, who are going through their divorce process, are splitting up the assets and the latter is getting the LA mansion.

Last week, Avril signed over the deed that says that multi-million dollar Sherman Oaks home will go to Deryck. TMZ.com reports that the 25-year-old singer, who filed for divorce on October 9, has named her ex-husband the new "sole and separate" owner of the house.

But the house also came with a lot of debt - there are still over a million dollars left on it to pay off.

Mandy Moore Must Show More Skin To Win!

Mandy Moore has revealed stripping down to her underwear for new movie Because I Said So was nerve-wracking but not the end of the world. She said recently: “I’m super self-conscious.” “What girl really feels comfortable about being on a gigantic movie screen with her butt there?”

Mandy Moore Talks Plans For Rapunzel

Mandy Moore started her career as a bubblegum pop princess, and has spent the last ten years or so moving away from that, going back to her natural brown hair, starring in indies like Dedication, and marrying Ryan Adams. But now that she's older, she's going right back where she started, with plans to play Rapunzel in Disney's 3D-animated version of the classic fairy tale.

Moore recently talked to Empire a little bit about her plans for the character.

Mandy Moore: Diavolina Diva

She’s no stranger to swanky soirees and yesterday (October 15) Mandy Moore was spotted at the Diavolina Launch Party in Los Angeles.

The “All Good Things” songstress looked cute in a vintage-style red printed dress teamed with a pair of strappy black heels. As for upcoming projects, Mandy has been tapped to voice the character of “Rapunzel” in the upcoming animated Disney film.

She explained, “She’s just coming into her own and is anxious to figure out a way to see the world around her that she’s been kept away from for so many years. I just feel honored to be in such good company. Being a Disney Princess is kind of every girl’s ultimate dream.”

Mandy Moore Becomes Disney Royalty

A solid choice we think. Mandy Moore has one of those squeaky, cutesy voices perfect for this.

Sources reveal that Mandy will be lending her vocals to the latest Disney animated feature, Rapunzel, as the princess herself!

The movie has some potential that past Disney flicks haven't, mainly since music man Alan Menken, who also did Beauty and The Beast & Aladdin, will be composing.

Voicing opposite Mandy will be Chuck star Zachary Levi as "the bandit who finds himself on the road with the rebellious" Rapunzel.

This revamp of the classic fairytale "picks up with the princess, famous for her 70 feet of golden hair, after she's been stolen from her parents' castle as an infant and imprisoned. Now a teenager, Rapunzel escapes and goes on the run with a bandit as her captor pursues them."

Mandy Moore Celebrates Fashion, Charity and Being A Newlywed

What’s better than one hot store opening in a new location in West Hollywood? Two hot stores opening at once, of course! When Diavolina and Madison launched with a single party benefiting the Susan G. Komen foundation Thursday night hosted by Current/Eliott designers Meritt Elliot and Emily Current, Lucy Hale, Tichina Arnold, and Mandy Moore came out to celebrate.

Mandy Moore, who works with Current and Elliot (they are also stylists) regularly, had something else her mind: her husband of seven months, Ryan Adams. “I’m learning every day,” she said of being married. “I’m lucky because I get to spend every day with my best friend and he’s a great influence.” And their pals second the emotion, with Elliot saying of the couple, “Being around both of them is a joy. They’re super fun.” Mandy also praises Emily and Merritt in turn, enthusing, “I’m always happy to support them, I couldn’t be more excited for their success.

You know when hope for people and they deserve it and then it happens to the good people — there is justice in the world. I adore them and I am always happy to come out. Anything to show my love.” The other stars were focused on love of a different kind — retail love! “I’ve never been to Diavolina before but, of course, I’ve been to Madison,” said Hale. “I saw a really cute studded bag in there so I’m going to check that out.” Arnold was thinking bigger. “There are a red pair of Yves Saint Laurent shoes over there. I must have those. It’s perfect for the holidays.”

Mandy Has Lots Moore to Share About Life With Ryan

October 24th, 2009

Mandy Moore was pretty in a printed dress on Thursday night for a bash in LA held to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation. It was a rare outing for Mandy, who's been busy settling into married life with Ryan Adams. She opened up about their relationship, saying, "I’m learning every day. I’m lucky because I get to spend every day with my best friend and he’s a great influence." Ryan gave Mandy some advice when it came to her recent music endeavors, and maybe their romance can inspire her acting in her next big screen performance.

Rihanna's X-Rated comeback

Last week, we were warned that Rihanna’s comeback would be “edgier” than anything we expected. But after these snaps dropped on the new desk, we understood. The ultimate Good Girl Gone Bad is back and she’s set to be fiercer - and raunchier - than ever before.

Wearing nothing but a corset and wrapped in barbed-wire, the Umbrella singer looks pretty hot in the shots for her brand new album, Rated R, and has just finished shooting the video for her comeback single Russian Roulette – in which she dons a sexy pirate ensemble, complete with suspenders and an eye-patch.

Rihanna's 'Russian Roulette' Video to Premiere on November 6

source: www.aceshowbiz.com

Rihanna reportedly will debut 'Russian Roulette' music video which is directed by Anthony Mandler on November 6.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Rumor has it, Rihanna will premiere an accompanying music video for her fresh single "Russian Roulette" on November 6. The video is directed by Anthony Mandler and will have its debut on ABC during the network's primetime hour.

Beside having a music video premiered on ABC, Rihannawill also perform live at the TV network on November 23 to celebrate the release of her new album "Rated R". The Barbadian songstress is scheduled to take the stage of "Good Morning America" on that date.

"Russian Roulette" is the album's first single. Written by Ne-Yo and produced by Chuck Harmony, the song becomes Rihanna's first release since being involved in an altercation with Chris Brown back in February.

In a recent interview with MTV, Chuck threw speculation on why Rihanna wants "Russian Roulette" as the lead single. "If I had to speculate, I would speculate that [she released it] for shock value," he said. " 'Russian Roulette' is the kind of song that when you hear it you're gonna talk about it - whether you like it, you talk about it. It's so unexpected, from the tempo to the title to the feel."

On what to expect from the record, Ne-Yo recently told E! Online, "Expect an edgier, almost angrier Rihanna on this one. Rihanna says some things on this album that you've never heard her say before."

Paramore's Hayley Williams 'So Nervous' About Returning To Stage

After spending a week in near-total silence as a result of a nasty case of laryngitis, Hayley Williams was raring to get back onstage. The only problem was that she didn't know if her voice was up to the task.

So, on Saturday night, backstage at Chicago's House of Blues, the mood was understandably tense. Not only were Paramore resuming their oft-delayed Brand New Eyes tour, but there were serious questions about just what would happen the second Williams strode onstage and attempted to sing.

And, truth be told, even she didn't know what to expect.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Taxi Driver

Meet Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, British writer, creator of the world famous detective, Sherlock Holmes with his power of deduction. Mr. Doyle's got a funny story to share to you. So, enjoy!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is waiting at a taxi stand outside the railway station in Paris. When a taxi pulls up, he puts his suitcase in the front seat and gets in the back. As he is about to tell the taxi driver where he wants to go, the driver asks him, "Where can I take you, Mr. Doyle?"
Doyle is flabbergasted. He asks the driver whether he knows him by sight. The driver says, "No, sir, I have never seen you before."
The puzzled Doyle asks him what makes him think that he is Conan Doyle. The driver replies, "this morning's paper had a story about you being on vacation in Marseilles. This is the taxi stand where people who return from Marseilles always come to. Your skin color tells me you have been on vacation. The ink spot on your right index finger suggests to me that you are a writer. Your clothing is very English, and not French. Adding up all those pieces of information, I deduce that you are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."


Doyle says, "This is a truly amazing deduction. You are a real-life counter-part to my fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes."
'There is one other thing,' the driver says.
"what is that?" Doyle asks.
'Your name.' the driver replies, 'is on the front of your suitcase.'

Megan Fox Latest Hairstyles

megan fox latest hairstyles

RIHANNA is now on Twitter

She joined Twitter and made her first Tweet announcing her new album. With a quick note saying 'The wait is over, November 23, 2009', Rihanna told us the date of the album's release.

Remember that this new CD, though we still don't know its name, was produced by Justin Timberlake. A few weeks ago we wondered if there was something going on between Rihanna and Justin, but that was all a rumor. Rihanna called Jessica Biel, Justin's girlfriend, and told her that there was nothing between them besides friendship.

Rihanna doesn't not want to be labeled as a boyfriend-stealer and anyway, she knows what it is like to be cheated on. She doesn't want another woman to have to go through the same thing.

Hayley Williams Goes Solo For Jennifer's Body Soundtrack

Whether you've heard about it or not this had people talking a bit. Fans have been wondering why when the soundtrack listing for Diablo Cody's cannibal-tastic film Jennifer's Body was released, Hayley Williams' name was listed, not Paramore. No, this was not a mistake or a sign that she'll be starting her own solo project she assures us, so don't worry.

Hayley Williams and the Charismatic Frontperson Problem

Thursday, Jul. 23 2009 @ 10:32AM

Jennifer's Body is a new movie that's got all kinds of stuff I can really get enough of: Megan Fox, vampires, high school. It's also got a hot-shit soundtrack full of hot-shit music that people over the age of, say, 17, might find irritating: Panic! at the Disco, Cobra Starship, etc. It's all so very 2009-sounding (except maybe Screeching Weasel and Hole), and there's even that Black Kids song.

Anyway, track 3 is apparently a solo number by Paramore singer Hayley Williams, called "Teenagers." As you may recall, when the group appeared in Spin last year, they were adamant about how they're a band, and not just a vehicle for their charismatic, flame-haired singer. (The article was called "Paramore Is a Band," after the slogan Williams wore emblazoned on a shirt to reinforce that point.)

Zipper Incident


This story about my funny experience. One morning, my brother and I rode with our father halfway to the office. When we got to the Pancoran area, which is my usual drop off zone, I got out and started to cross street to get on the bus when suddenly I heard a voice on a loudspeaker, "MBAK ...... MBAK ....!"
I looked around and saw a policeman beckoning to me. Well, OK, the Pancoran street is really wide. So, maybe he actually needed that loudspeaker. But why? What was wrong with me? Was it because I didn't use the zebra cross? I was so scared, but I came up to him and asked with an innocent face and in the gentlest voice I could produce, "Yes,sir?"
The Policeman said, "so you won't be embarrassed later ...." The loudspeaker was still on! His voice echoed through the whole street. Everyone instantly looked in our direction, even those standing far, far away from us. And then he continued, "You forgot to zip up your skirt." Luckily, he did not say the last sentence on the loudspeaker.

Of course I couldn't zip up my skirt under those watchful eyes, so I just covered its back with my big bag. Oh gosh! What a bad start!!

Hayley Williams Wants Everyone To Know That Paramore Is Still A Band

Hayley Williams’ solo contribution to the soundtrack for Jennifer’s Body has led some outlets to engage in a bit of speculation over whether the Paramore singer would be embarking on a solo career anytime soon. But in a post to the band’s Livejournal, she’s pretty adamant over the fact that her solo track is a one-off, and that even though she admires her tourmate Gwen Stefani, she won’t be following in Stefani’s uncomfortably shod solo-career footsteps anytime soon:

Live Shots: Gwen Stefani And Hayley Williams Team Up In Irvine

Rihanna turns up the heat at Paris Fashion Week

Is Rihanna trying to break the world record for wearing not only a staggering amount of outfits in one week, but also for how provocative they can be?

The designer clad super-star is giving every fashionista a run for their money by sporting some seriously fierce (and raunchy) looks while in the French capital for Fashion Week.

In the last week alone, Rihanna has sported an oversized Vivenne Westwood blazer that just covered her underwear with over-the-knee tan boots, a criss-cross jacket revealing a satin bra with tight leather trousers and now this Hussein Chalayan dress with black patent thigh-high boots and suspenders.

The R&B singer has changed her look, and even her make-up, several times a day depending on which shows she attended, including Givenchy, Jean Paul Gautier and Maison Martin Margiela to name but a few.

Reason for Rihanna's raunchy style

October 10, 2009

LAST week fashionistas from around the globe gathered in France for Rihanna Fashion Week. Actually, it was Paris Fashion Week, but the highlight of the new season shows might as well have been renamed for the sexy singer who has undergone an extreme style makeover.

Front row among the creme de la creme of the fashion world, Rihanna made sure all eyes and cameras were focused firmly on her.

Taking cues direct from this year's catwalks, she rocked couture from the likes of Givenchy, Balmain, Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood.

It's a new Rihanna for a new season and her new-found confidence seems to be about sexing up her previously sweet girl-next-door look.
