Shakira to Start Family After Album Release

Shakira wants to have a baby.

The 32-year-old singer, who has been engaged to Antonio de la Rua, 36, for the last four years, admits that her biological clock is ticking and she’s desperate to start a family.

“I’m dying to have a baby. We both are. I’d like two and Antonio would like three. So probably after my next album, which comes out next year. I don’t think it could be sooner because in 2010 I’ll be touring as well. In fact, my biological clock is already ticking and I don’t know how to describe it. It’s just becoming a physical need now.”

The pop star, who met Antonio nine years ago in a restaurant in Argentina, knew straight away he was “The One”: “The minute I walked in, I saw him sitting, and I thought, ‘That man is for me, he’s the man of my life.’ I kept staring at him until I got to meet him that night. And then I just followed my intuition and everything worked out. Frankly, meeting him that night was like winning the lottery.”

Although Shakira is engaged, she doesn’t plan to marry Antonio anytime soon. She said, “I think it’s more romantic to be that eternal girlfriend. We’re happy the way things are. Our relationship is strong and steady.”

Lindsay Lohan Wants Lady Gaga Collaboration

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Style, Rumors,

Lindsay Lohan seeks a Lady Gaga collaborationWhen she’s not too busy partying or having her personal phone conversations recorded, Lindsay Lohan is tuning into Lady Gaga’s music!

The somewhat-working actress reveals on her Twitter page that she has been obsessed with Gaga’s Bad Romance video and expresses her

interest

desperation in collaborating with the popular artist.

“LADY GAGA IS F*)K!NG EP!C !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want to do a mini movie music video with @ladygaga in la, nyc, and all over europe. @ladygaga OBSESSED WITH YOUR NEW VIDEO! you’ve just become epic in my book ** [sic]”

I’m not sure if becoming epic in Lohan’s book is a compliment or something to flat-out ignore. If anything, a collaboration with Lohan would be a major downgrade and regression (two words: Labor Pains).

Either way, I have a feeling that the Alexander McQueen-loving Gaga wouldn’t be one to instantly jump on to a collaboration with a fashion house wrecking creative advisor like Lohan.

VIDEO: Lady Gaga Guest Stars on Gossip Girl

After witnessing the insane vodka-induced, human trafficking dealings by a Russian mafia-run bath house (complete with Alexander McQueen) in the Bad Romance video, I had nearly forgotten about Lady Gaga’s scheduled appearance on Gossip Girl!

Lady Gaga Hides From Paparazzi

Lady Gaga hiding from London paparazzi

As much as I adore Lady Gaga, I find it hard to believe that she would be hiding from the paparazzi. This is someone who lives in the spotlight, soaking up all the fame and attention she can acquire. So what gives as of late?

Was her makeup and attire too normal for her standard outings? She was snapped up in London this past week with little more than lingerie!

Perhaps she’s been exhausted over her new video, which she postponed a day due to her perfectionism. Whatever it is, let’s hope she gets well soon!

Lady Gaga Told Gossip Girl Writers What to Do


In what can only be the ultimate fusion of music, drama, and fashion, Lady Gaga is set to appear on Gossip Girl. While the rest of the cast haven’t let any info slip about the anticipated episode, Gaga herself decided to fill us in on what to expect, as well as divulging how she told the writers how she wanted the story to pan out.

“I am the narrator behind what is going on with the characters and make the song part of the moment,” the “Paparazzi” singer explained, noting that she didn’t want to be on a stage, as many musicians awkwardly and randomly appear on television shows often do (also because she stressed that she doesn’t lip-sync).

Leighton Meester Performs Alongside Weezer

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Videos,


From covering Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” to sharing the living room stage with Taylor Swift, Weezer’s front man Rivers Cuomo seems to enjoy cozying up to cute pop stars as of late. Cuomo has now moved on to aspiring pop princesses, like Leighton Meester.

During an All Hallow’s Eve show in New York, the Gossip Girl actress performed a supposedly-spontaneous duet for the band’s latest single,  “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To.”

While her voice is lost in the video (who wouldn’t be intimidated?), I’m more concerned about her multi-colored leggings, sci-fi-inspired jacket, and Amy Winehouse hair.

Michael Jackson Too Shy For Madonna

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rumors,

Madonna and Michael JacksonSo if Madonna and Michael Jackson were good friends, why did we never hear a collaboration out of it? The Queen of Pop thought found the King to be “too shy.”

The “Revolver” singer spent weeks working with the King of Pop several years ago, but never recorded a duet with him because Michael was scared of Madonna’s “provocative” music.

“We spent a chunk of time together, and became friends, but it never happened. I wrote a bunch of words and presented them to him, and he didn’t want to go there. He didn’t want to be provocative. And I said, ‘Well, why come to me?’ I mean, that’s like asking Quentin Tarantino to not put any violence in his films. I felt like he was too inhibited, too shy.”

Madonna paid tribute to Michael in an emotional speech at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month. Even though she used the occasion to “say goodbye” to her old friend, the star admits that she can’t stop thinking about Michael, and the torment he faced at the hands of the media.

Hard Working Rocker Mick Jagger

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Parties,

Mick Jagger parties in limited amountsMuch to the shock of many, Sir Mick Jagger limits his fun.

The 66-year-old Rolling Stones singer, renowned for his hell raising behavior in his youth, makes sure that he gets the balance between work and enjoyment right in his life, but still indulges his wild side on occasions: “You can’t give into temptation all your life, otherwise you’d have no through line; you’d never get anything finished. But it’s absolutely no fun at all unless you give into temptation some of your life. If you never do, you’re really boring and dull.”

Jagger, who has seven children by four different women, also says that spending a lot of time in hotels has given him the inspiration to make his homes colorful and exciting.

He added to British Vogue: “Hotel life has influenced my decorative tastes quite negatively. Because you say, ‘Right, I don’t want any brown or beige.’ Because most hotels go in for neutral colors—they don’t want to offend anybody.”


John Lennon Wanted Out Before McCartney

John Lennon and Paul McCartney during happier days

A lost interview reveals that John Lennon told Paul McCartney he wanted “a divorce” months before The Beatles split.

The dialogue between with the guitarist and singer reveals that he told his co-songwriter of his intentions to split the band in September 1969, before the release of their last album Let It Be.

Until now, it has widely been thought that Paul was responsible for the group—which also featured Ringo Starr and George Harrison—splitting, when he quit the band in April 1970. In the taped interview, John said that he told Paul when they fell out at a record company meeting.

Will.i.am Aims for Miami Dolphins

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Sports,

Will.i.am wants to join a football teamAfter jumping from record tracks to the big screen in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Will.i.am now aims for sports, proclaiming his desire to become an American football player.

The “Boom Boom Pow” rapper has taken to his blog to beg for a chance to try out for the Miami Dolphins: “I always wanted to play football, from the age of 10—that was my dream. I always loved the game of American football. I’m sad that I never followed my football dreams. Lately I’ve been thinking, is it too late to do it now? No way! I want to try out for the Miami Dolphins.”

The 34-year-old star goes on to boast about how quickly he can run—he even challenges 100m sprint world record holder Usain Bolt to a race—claiming his prowess would be an asset to any team.

Referring to former Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson, will.i.am claimed, “I’m very fast, beyond fast. I’ve raced Jamal Anderson and I smoked his a*s. I am extremely fast and I’m proud of it. I take pride in my cheetah speed. So I want to put this talent to use.”
