Entertainment Industry Reacts to Hudson Tragedy
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Breaking News,
“I’m planning on touring,” Jennifer Hudson smiled and spoke enthusiastically only weeks ago. “There’s more films and more music and stuff like that [in the future],” she said. “I want to start a fashion line as well, start writing music.” After her breakout performance in Dreamgirls, appearing as Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in the runaway hit chick flick Sex and the City and with a new album and movie already making waves, Jennifer Hudson’s life seemed charmed. Today, the effervescent star is at the center of a grisly tragedy.
Engaged to David Otunga and on the brink of what appears to be an extremely successful career, Hudson talked of her many future plans. “It’s gonna be a production,” she said of her wedding. “I have so many visions for it right now - I get to put that together.”
Hudson, 27, had the world at her feet only last week. Now, she probably feels the weight of the world crashing down on her shoulders. Over the weekend, Hudson’s mother and brother were victims of domestic violence, events which proved fatal for both. On Monday, the star was in Chicago identifying the body of her nephew Julian, 7, who had gone missing after the killings took place.

Kevin Costner to Attempt Country Music
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music,
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.

Is It Britney?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Videos, Breaking News, Rumors,
A Web site created on September 15, 2008 through Go Daddy calling itself Britney Spears Circus Leak has posted an audio Internet video that’s suddenly becoming the most talked-about file on the Web. Considering the subject matter, this is hardly surprising - but if you’re looking for the formula for online success, pay attention.
A single picture of Brit, a countdown showing the time remaining on the release of her album and a single audio embed is all it takes to make a site successful. If, of course, the site is offering up audio of what is purportedly a leaked track off of a truly unreleased album. The track, “Candy From Strangers” certainly sounds like it could be the work of Britney Spears.

Jessica Simpson’s Opry Debut
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Clothing, Videos, Features,
Many tuned in this weekend to watch MTV’s VMAs, which rewards popular artists for their innovation in a genre MTV only barely still supports - the music video. But while many artists are trying to find their feet in an ever-changing pop world, Jessica Simpson is clinging to the traditions of country music.
If her dress, hair style and eye-grabbing cleavage don’t remind you of Dolly Parton, nothing will. Jess strutted onto the Grand Ole Opry stage for her much-anticipated Nashville debut - and today most of the critics are talking much more about her chest and much less about her choice of song.

VMA Fashion: Who Hit a Sour Note?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Clothing, Fashion Police, Hair Styles, Red Carpet, Style, Photos, Editorials,
Award season is long, fraught with gossip, and seemingly unending. Someone always walks away with a statue - some performers and artists walk away with several. But by the time the same awards are given out the next year, no one really cares who won what the year before.
What we do remember is what they were wearing when they were doing it. People may not remember which Grammy Jennifer Lopez won the year she wore the green Versace gown, but they remember the gown. This year’s VMAs may be remembered for several years - the pictures not of moon men statues, but of the clothes everyone wore.
Whose couture sang the sweetest…and whose fashion was completely discordant?

Lynne Spears Book Sure to Create a Storm
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Rumors,
What is it like to parent one of the biggest stars in the world? What secrets could Britney Spears still have that the world doesn’t know? What is it like to be behind-the-scenes of celebrity stardom? If you want to know, you have to read the new book being offered by Lynne Spears - but get your copy quick. With the hype that’s being drummed up for the volume, it’s likely to sell out in the very first hour.
Lynne Spears, mother to pop culture icons Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears, snagged a book deal many, many months ago. She was going to pen a parenting manual titled Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, which was going to debut - get this - on Mother’s Day of 2008.

Jessica Simpson vs. Carrie Underwood
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Break-ups, Rivalries, Rumors,
In a recent interview, famous American Idol Carrie Underwood stated that ex-boyfriend Tony Romo still calls her up from time to time. “The phone will ring and it’ll be him, and I’ll maybe not answer,” Underwood stated.
After Romo and Underwood split in 2006, the Cowboy moved on to once-pop princess-now country gal Jessica Simpson, who took a fashion dig at Underwood by wearing a T that stated “Real Girls Eat Meat.” Now, the cattiness continues.
In response to Underwood’s statement that Romo still calls her, Simpson stated that she “looked at his call log,” and that Underwood’s words are untrue.
Whoa. While many suspicious girlfriends keep tabs of phone calls made to and by their men, it’s not the kind of thing you want to get caught doing - and it’s not the kind of thing you want to admit to the press, either. Looks like Jess is keeping tight tabs on her man - and she doesn’t care who knows it.

Why is Jessica Simpson Reinventing Herself?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Breaking News,
Still attempting to make her new image seem genuine, Jessica Simpson has signed on to endorse a Texas-brewed beer. People, it just doesn’t get much more country than that.
Simpson is set to be the new face of Stampede Light Plus, as made by the Dallas-based Stampede Brewing Company. Other than the reflected glory and ability to say she’s really a country gal, Jessica will also get a 15% share of the brewing company.
In a statement, Simpson said she is “always looking for ways to diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people.”

Lynne Spears: From Parenting to Provocative
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Breaking News,
Lynne Spears, mother to Britney and Jamie, is going to make sure she’s every bit as interesting as reality star and parent Dina Lohan. The famous mom has been working for many months on a promised parenting book, which was already halted (“postponed the book indefinitely” was the way the publishers put it) when the news first broke that Jamie Lynn (16) was pregnant.
The book will indeed be released September 16, but it’s now much less a parenting manual and more a juicy account of what it’s like to raise two stars. The tome’s official title is Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.

Listen to Hayden Panettiere’s New Single
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Videos,
Here we go again. There’s yet another television star who wants to make it as a singer. This time around Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) is the one assaulting our ears.
In a recent interview on his radio show, the 18-year-old told Ryan Seacrest she’s invested a lot into her music. In fact, she’s actually been working on her album for four years. (I can only imagine what 14-year-old Hayden would have produced.)
Listen to her new single, ‘Wake Up Call’, and let us know your opinions. Am I the only one who thinks the music doesn’t match the tone of the video?
