Sanjaya to Take the Post-Idol World By Storm?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
There’s more than one huge celebrity today who was once called loser (we’ll say non-winner, it sounds less harsh) by a little show called American Idol. Is one of these almost-winners ready to take the world by storm with his latest project?
Some would swear that Sanjaya Malakar was the winner of Season 6. The young crooner melted hearts with his big smile, captivating locks and signature style. Though he was voted off Idol in seventh place, Malakar returned to the show to perform on the season’s finale.
Would you like to know a little bit more about his side of the story (or, are you just a full-on Sanjaya fan)? Then get your credit card ready on January 20 to purchase Malakar’s “Dancing to the Music in My Head: Memoirs of the People’s Idol.” It is both album and memoir, and it’s about all the Sanjaya you could ever want.
Have a listen to some of the album’s tracks through Amazon.com.

Marshall Mathers: Back in a Big Way
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Just when you thought Eminem was well off the rap radar, the former superstar is in the spotlight again. His “I’m Having a Relapse” is making the rounds of the Internet, there’s talk of a possible new tour…and he’s even got a book coming out.
I know what you’re thinking - does it carry a parental warning? Can the rapper who can’t get through a ditty without dropping the “f-bomb” several times really compose a coherent literary sentence? According to early reviews, the memoir is a rather poignant look at the life of this poor kid-turned celebrity.
The book, “The Way I Am” details the childhood and growing years of Marshall Bruce Mathers III (better known as Slim Shady, Eminem and “that white guy who raps”). The 200 pages of the book are stuffed with text and never-before-publicly-seen pictures that take fans inside the hard life of this celeb.
The tome’s prologue offers some insight into where Eminem has been hiding since 2006, when the death of his best friend Deshaun Holton (rapper Proof) caused him to leave the limelight. “After he passed, it was a year before I could really do anything normally again,” the book explains. “It was tough for me to even get out of bed, and I had days when I couldn’t walk, let alone write a rhyme.”
Proof, also a Detroit denizen, helped get Slim Shady into the city’s scene.
The book actually holds back little. Eminem recounts his drug abuse problems, how he invented the character Slim Shady and even his love life. It hits shelves tomorrow, conveniently close to the time when his latest album, Relapse, will debut (which will be some time before the year 2008 is over).

Wagner starred TV shows like It Takes a Thief and Hart to Hart.
In his new memoir Pieces of My Heart, Wagner reveals that he enjoyed an affair with another screen goddess. I actually know a good deal about Wagner, Wood and even how Christopher Walken figures into their strange story.

Miley Cyrus Signs Book Deal
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Child Stars, Features,
Sick of Miley Cyrus yet? Disney sure isn’t.
Having already conquered the small screen and broken box office records for the big screen, the uber-successful pop star has recently signed a seven-figure deal with Disney-Hyperion, probably the most any fifteen year-old has been paid to write a book.
As if Disney hasn’t used and abused their Hannah Montana cash cow enough, the book is set to release in 2009, right about when the movie will premiere. Oh how I love Disney’s avariciousness.
