Ali Lohan’s Musical Debut
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Rumors,
It’s no secret that Ali Lohan is trying to follow in big sister Lindsay’s footsteps - she’s already said as much in her interviews. Ali, 14, has recently debuted her first single “All the Way Around” (it can be found here on YouTube). Here’s the surprising part: it’s pretty good.
The somewhat repetitive song has a rhythmic R&B feel that’s somewhat different from Lindsay Lohan’s poppy sound, and Ali’s vocals sound very mature. Ali calls her soon-to-be-released album “more hip-hop. Kind of like Rihanna.” If this first single is any indication of Ali’s sound, I think the album could be pretty good. All the way around.

Madonna Tell-All: Do You Care?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors,
Madonna’s plan was “to rule the world,” when she spoke to Dick Clark on American Bandstand. The then-80s singer was decked out in her black lace best and still singing songs like “Borderline” at the time. How were we to know she would become one of the world’s biggest stars, winning accolades in not just the music industry but movies as well? Irreverent and irrepressible, Madonna quickly became the queen of pop.
It was only a matter of time before somebody released a tell-all book detailing her exploits. I just thought it would be Sean Penn.

New Edition and NKOTB Working Together
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music,
What do you do when you’re a reunited boy band in need of a publicity stunt? You join forces with another boy band.
Last week, the New Kids on the Block hit the recording studio with the group that hit the music scene before them: New Edition. It was the first time both Maurice Starr creations have worked together on a project.
The song - which does not include bad boy Bobby Brown - is being put together by RedOne, the same man also responsible for Heidi Montag‘s new track ‘Fashion.’ (Just in case that news raises any red flags for you.) According to the producer, the song “sounds very universal and melodic and has both sides in it: The R&B, which is New Edition and the pop side for New Kids.”
You can expect to hear ‘Full Service’ on NKOTB’s upcoming album.

Marriage Over for Shania Twain
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Divorce,
UPDATE: It’s now being reported that an affair is the cause of the breakup. You can find more information here.
After 14 years of marriage, singer Shania Twain and her rarely seen husband, Robert “Mutt” Lange, have chosen to separate.
The two met back in 1993 and married shortly thereafter. During their relationship, the country star and her producer hubby collaborated on most of her albums including Come on Over, The Woman in Me and Up!. In the past few years, the private duo have spent the majority of their time living at their homes in Switzerland and New Zealand.
Shania’s rep confirmed the marital news in statement today. “Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, are separating after 14 years of marriage. This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time.”
Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, also have a 6-year-old son, Eja D’Angelo.

Scarlett Johansson the Singer?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Videos,
While we’ve become used to seeing musicians evolve into Oscar-nominated thespians (e.g. Will Smith, Queen Latifah), I can’t recall the last time an A-list actor has successfully made their mark in the music industry. But does that mean they should stop trying?
On May 20th, Scarlett Johansson will release her first album, Anywhere I Lay My Head. Her first single, ‘Falling Down’, can be heard via her video below. After listening to it, let us know what you think. Should she stick to starring in Woody Allen films…or could she possibly have a side career in music?

Britney Spears and K-Fed: Couple, or Couple of Exes?
Gossip sites and magazines are exploding with the news that Britney Spears and Kevin Federline may be putting their shattered romance back together. After months of agonizing divorce proceedings and custody hearings, could this really be the case? What has sparked these rumors? Apparently, the two shared a smooch. Sure, that’s national news.
Here’s how it (allegedly) went down: K-Fed comes over to Brit’s home on April 8 to gather up Sean Preston and Jayden James after a visit with mom. The two were talking about the boys when Brit leaned in and puckered up. Two separate publications published news on the kiss, which does not guarantee its authenticity or even that it was, in fact, newsworthy. Whether we’re talking about on-the-cheek or full liplock action, the pair do share a pair of kids between them - some affection and esteem is bound to result.

New Kids on the Today Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Where Are They Now?,
Sorry, ladies. There was no actual ‘performance’ from the New Kids on the Block this morning. (You’ll have to wait until May 16th for that.) But here’s your chance to see if the men at least physically held up over the years.
Mariah Carey Edges Past Elvis
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music,
Although I knew this day would eventually come, I still have a hard time believing it’s finally happened. Mariah Carey has just now surpassed The King.
Mariah’s latest single, Touch My Body, just became the Number One song on Billboard’s Hot 100. This achievement gives the 38-year-old singer a total of eighteen #1 hits on those charts, edging her right past Elvis Presley. (He was holding reign at 17.) With a few more years under her belt, she may one day pass The Beatles as well. (The Fab Four clock in at 20 toppers.)
While I will fully admit that I like many of Carey’s songs, I find it strange to even think of her musical library being in the same realm as those two legends. Will her songs eventually stand the test of time? Which one of her singles could possibly compare to something like Let It Be or Can’t Help Falling in Love?
Carey’s next album, E=MC2, will be released on April 16.

Britney Spears Comeback: The Sequel
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Rumors,
Gossip mag queen Britney Spears seemed poised for a comeback just before the VMA debacle, which started a whole downhill slide for the former money-maker. Now current gossip suggests Brit may once again be ready to get back in the saddle.
Spears is apparently talking with dancer Leo Moctezuma, a former collaborator, with the pair scheduled to talk again in the next few days. She’s also working on a video for Hot As Ice and apparently back to the business of her career.
