Check Out Beyonce’s Massive Piece of Bling
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Weddings,
Sometimes pictures - or massive pieces of jewelry - really do speak louder than words.
Even though Beyonce and Jay-Z have not yet acknowledged their April nuptials, the Dreamgirls star has slowly been confirming the news her own way.
In the past few weeks, the singer has occasionally been seen with a very large rock on her ring finger. The flawless 18 carat gem - designed by Lorraine Schwartz - is valued at a whopping $5 million.
I guess someone won’t be needing to worry about the financial crisis anytime soon.

Kanye West Not Ready to Apologize for Airport Fight
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Videos,
Although it’s been almost a month since he was detained at LAX, Kanye West does not appear he’s about to get past that incident anytime soon.
Back on September 11 (a horrible date for any airport arrest), the musician and his road manager were both arrested for damaging a photographer’s equipment. Although West has since been cleared of a felony charge (he only destroyed a relatively inexpensive lighting component), he could still be slapped with a misdemeanor. (It’s unclear what charges his partner-in-crime might still be dealing with.)
Needless to say, Kanye wasn’t entirely thrilled about being questioned recently by another paparazzo:

Janet Jackson Cancels String of Concerts Due to Illness
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music,
UPDATE: Janet’s tour will reportedly resume this Saturday.
An undisclosed illness has now caused Janet Jackson to cancel a total of 6 concert dates in less than two weeks.
Last Sunday, the singer fell suddenly ill during a sound check in Montreal. After a brief hospitalization, stops in Boston and Philadelphia were called off.
Although Janet was preparing to resume her tour on this weekend, Jackson’s doctor advised the 42-year-old to take more time to recuperate. In addition to Saturday’s gig in Greensboro, N.C., Sunday’s concert in Atlanta and Tuesday’s date in Fort Lauderdale were also postponed.

What do you do when your movie career fizzles? Well - if you’re Jessica Simpson
Kevin Costner, you turn to country music.
Kevin, who was last seen in Swing Vote, recently told People that he will be releasing a country album next month.
While this might seem like surprising news to most Costner followers, the 53-year-old has been moonlighting as a musician for quite some time now. In fact, some of his Modern West band members have been working with him for nearly 20 years. (Not that this qualifies them to sell any tracks or anything.)
The album - which Kevin co-wrote six songs for - is due out on November 11. Assuming the actor doesn’t line up any other acting gigs (he just recently wrapped work on The New Daughter), the band will be out touring by the end of this year. Expect the ladies of The View to feign interest shortly.

Although most women would kill to look even half as good as Madonna at age 50, the singer often takes her exercise regime to the extreme.
What do you think? Would you consider her muscular physique to be an attractive feature…or does she ironically appear older than she should?

Three days after being released from the hospital, DJ AM (a.k.a. Adam Goldstein) attended the funeral for Chris Baker. Baker, one of the four victims from September 20’s crash, was Travis Barker’s close friend and assistant.
Although Goldstein’s burns were mostly covered, injuries to his neck were still visible underneath his green polo. (The attendees were asked to wear Chris’ favorite color to Monday’s service.)
Travis, who was also released from the Georgia hospital yesterday, was unfortunately not able to pay his respects his person. The former Blink-182 drummer, who now (understandably) refuses to fly, is currently en route back to LA via a bus.

UPDATE: Travis Barker has just been released from the hospital as well.
One week after surviving a deadly plane crash, 35-year-old DJ AM (a.k.a. Adam Goldstein) has been released from the hospital. Goldstein, who was a patient at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, was originally listed in critical condition at the time of admittance. According to Dr. Fred Mullins, Adam was treated for second and third-degree burns to his arms and a portion of his head.
Adam’s departure was addressed in a statement released today by his rep. “While he is deeply saddened by the events, he is thankful for all of the love and support he has been receiving from fans and friends worldwide. We ask that you continue to respect his privacy as he rests and heals and mourns the loss of his friends.”

Move over Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse. Another British musician would like to get back into the media spotlight.
This past weekend, George Michael was detained by London’s Metropolitan Police after being caught (again) with illegal substances. The incident, which happened a month after the completion of his concert tour, became the singer’s fourth drug-related arrest in just the past three years. British papers have reported that Michael was found with crack cocaine and marijuana when he was nabbed in a public toilet - yes, another bathroom - on Friday.
Although officers confirmed arresting a 45-year-old for possession of Class A and Class C drugs, the man was eventually let go after receiving a ‘caution.’ No further action was expected to be taken.
