Kevin Jonas to Star in Reality TV Series
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Announcements, News,
Kevin Jonas is to star in his own reality TV show. The 24-year-old singer and his wife Danielle will appear in E!'s Married to Jonas - on which Ryan Seacrest will act as the executive producer - and will tell the tale of how the pair, who married in 2009, are dealing with their lives in the international spotlight.
"Danielle is living a true Cinderella story after marrying into pop royalty, partnering in Kevin's larger-than-life career and becoming a 'Jonas,' a name synonymous with hit music and a worldwide fan base. The series presents a unique look at a young couple and their families from two entirely different worlds, one small town and one dealing with international fame, coming together as one and starting a whole new life together," said Lisa Berger, president of entertainment programming for E!.
Ryan - who is best known as a presenter on American Idol - reveals plans have been in motion for some time to create a show, which will begin airing in August, based around the couple: "I vividly recall believing from the very first time that I met them that the Jonas Brothers would, without a doubt, become a worldwide cultural sensation. When we learned that Dani married Kevin, our production team became curious about what life would be like for a young bride entering the excitement, and sometimes chaos, of a pop star's life. The show will examine the ups and downs of Dani and Kevin's marriage, against the backdrop of their contrasting family cultures, traditions and individual careers."

Rihanna is "obsessed" with Gwyneth Paltrow. The "You Da One" singer is a huge fan of the Oscar-winning actress and says she's very envious of her lifestyle and her amazing body.
"I'm obsessed with Gwyneth. Honestly, what is it not? It makes me so jealous all the time ... her body ... I'm really jealous of her, I don't even know why I like her," she said.
As well as being impressed with Gwyneth, Rihanna was very flattered when the blonde beauty's husband Chris Martin covered her song "We found Love" with his band Coldplay. "Honestly it's flattering and special to know that other musicians appreciate your music ... To have a band like Coldplay that was just surreal, and if I love it, that's extra points. I know Coldplay, we collaborated together, we worked in the studio, shot a video just recently," she said.
The 23-year-old pop beauty - who recorded the duet "Princess of China" with the band - also spoke about posing in her underwear and say she only feels confident about it because she knows the images will be Photoshopped. "Totally, especially when it's Photoshopped. I'm comfortable in my underwear around the right people," she said when asked if she was comfortable being in her underwear.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups,
Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna have split up. The Voice coach and the Russian-born model have decided to part ways after two years of dating but Anne, 26, claims the couple still "love and respect" each other.
"Adam and I have decided to separate in an amicable and supportive manner. We still love and respect each other as friends. I wish him all the best," she told People.
"He will always love and cherish her," a friend of the Maroon 5 frontman added to US Weekly.
Adam, 33, and Anne first met at the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue release party in Las Vegas in early 2010, where Maroon 5 performed but didn't immediately hit it off. "He thought I was a stuck-up bitch and I kind of thought he was a d*****bag musician," Anne previously said.
Although the couple were rumored to have had a giant bust up earlier this year, speaking in February, Adam said he was determined to make the relationship work: "This is the most functional relationship I've ever been in. I don't want to screw it up."
Adam Levine ‘Cringed’ at Fragrance Offer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Adam Levine ''cringed'' when he was offered the chance to release a fragrance.
The 33-year-old Maroon 5 singer - who has previously expressed his distaste for celebrity scents - admits he wasn't keen until curiosity got the better of him.
"I'm not going to lie, I cringed the first time I heard. But at the end of the day, I thought that it was a cop-out to say, 'Oh, that's lame. I don't want to do that.' I love fashion; there are a lot of things I'd like to express creatively in the world. I like to think that I have decent taste, so why not try it and do a good version?"
But he insisted on remaining in control of the 222 perfumes throughout the design stages: "I've seen cool, sexy, inspiring things in fragrances. If I'm emulating those things, then I love it. If I'm not putting any effort into it, if I'm cashing in and just letting it go and having nothing to do with the creative process, I'm not interested."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Obituaries,
The Monkees singer Davy Jones has died, aged 66.
The lead singer of the "Daydream Believer" group - which also consists of original members Micky Dolenz, 66, and 70-year-old Peter Tork - passed away from a heart attack earlier today, a representative confirmed to TMZ.com. An official from the medical examiner's office for Martin County, Florida, told the website they received a phone call from the Martin Memorial Hospital informing them that Davy had died.
Davy leaves behind four daughters, Talia Elizabeth, 43, and Sarah Lee, 40 from his marriage to Linda Haines, and Jessica Lillian, 30, and 23-year-old Annabel Charlotte from his marriage to Anita Pollinger. The pop icon - who was born in Manchester, North West England - married 33-year-old TV presenter Jessica Pacheo - who he met in 2006 - in August 2009.
In May 2011, the singer said he was having some of the happiest times he's ever had in his life with Jessica: "We have love. We have friendship. She's also aware of what I've done in music, and the fact that I no longer really need to prove anything."

Pete Doherty: I’ve Stopped Injecting

Pete Doherty has stopped injecting drugs.
The former Libertines rocker - who has had a well documented battle with substance abuse - will not get high from needles any more out of respect for his mystery girlfriend as he doesn't want her to dabble with drugs.
"I've stopped injecting. The only way I see myself in a serious relationship is if I am toning it down a bit. When you're banging up all day you can't really have someone in your life, especially if she's an English rose. I wouldn't let her touch anything. I just wouldn't," he said.
Pete - who famously dated supermodel Kate Moss from January 2005 and July 2007 - also says he's more calmer in his life since quitting London and moving to the French capital of Paris three years ago: "The media circus got a bit twisted when I was in London. It became a bit of a joke, really. In Paris, they're so serious I can take myself really seriously, too. I can get really morbid without people telling me to cheer up."
