Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Britney Spears has moved on from seeking Amy to referencing threesomes. In her new single titled “3,” the pop princess suggests she likes being intimate with two lovers at the same time.
“Three is a charm / Two is not the same / I don’t see the harm / So are you game?” Britney sings on the track. The chorus continues: “One, two, three / Not only you and me / Got one eighty degrees / And I’m caught in between. Countin’ one, two, three / Peter, Paul and Mary / Getting’ down with 3P / Everybody loves ***.”

50 Cent Preparing to Make an Impact
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap,
50 Cent thinks his new album could “impact as hard” as his debut LP.
The “Candy Shop” rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - says he is glad he has taken his time working on Before I Self Destruct because he now believes it is as good as his first record, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
“I had more time to work on this record. I usually put an album out every two years, so this is almost an additional year,” he said. “This record could potentially be the one to top Get Rich or Die Tryin. I think it could impact as hard, but not necessarily sell as much.”
50 - who grew up in a tough New York neighourhood - also spoke about gangsta rap, insisting it is still relevant to modern society. “People are still living under these circumstances. They identify with it because they have similar struggles or have experienced something similar. They enjoy gangsta rap with a different intensity,” he added to BBC Newsbeat.
The singer insists he isn’t prepared to alter his style to make it less intense. “If we just follow trends then we’re all doing the same thing,” he said. “If Black Eyed Peas’ ‘Boom Boom Pow’ is hot, do we all go and make a ‘Boom Boom Pow’?”

Fred Durst has split from his wife after just three months of marriage. The Limp Bizkit frontman announced he was ending his brief union with Esther Nazarov on his Twitter page.
“For those of you inquiring I will confirm that Esther and I have decided to go our separate ways and we both thank you for your support,” he wrote. “Thank you all so much for your concern and extremely kind words. Sincerely. We remain very positive and wish only the best for each other.”
The couple wed in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas in July.
Fred, 39, also announced the marriage on Twitter, writing: “Cheers to the universe from me and my lovely wife Esther Durst! We are now one and complete. Life is so much better knowing I have a wonderful wife and family. I love being married and I am the luckiest man alive to be so in love.” He also told fans about his engagement on the social networking site.
Further details of the split have not been announced, although it has been reported the pair were experiencing relationship difficulties for some time. In August, they spent a month on holiday together while Fred was working on new material, and began rowing.
Fred wrote on Twitter at the time: “Cheers to life. When things fall apart it’s good to have a friend to lean on. We cannot go back and start a new beginning, but we can start today and make a new ending.”

VIDEO: Jay-Z on Using the N-Word
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Believe it or not—Mackenzie Phillips wasn’t the only buzzworthy guest on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show last week. On Thursday, the talk show queen also welcomed Jay-Z to her Chicago set.
During his visit to the show, the 39-year-old covered a number of topics including his drug-dealing past, Rihanna and his nice smell. The musician also taught the talk show host how to rap and engaged in an amicable debate.
Winfrey, who openly admits that she is not a “big fan of rap music,” explained that her feelings about the genre stem from the use of “misogynist lyrics and because of the use of the N-word.” The latter issue is something Jay-Z and the host will never see eye to eye on.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,
UPDATE: The musician’s concert promoters deny Manson has the virus.
“Tainted Love” singer Marilyn Manson has just been revealed that he’s been tainted…with the H1N1 virus.
The 40-year-old, who lists former wife Dita Von Teese and Evan Rachel Wood among his exes, recently announced the news via his Facebook page. “So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU,” he wrote. “I know everyone will suggest that f****** a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have, in ‘no way’ contributed to me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive.”
Although Manson was in the middle of a Canadian tour when the diagnosis was made, he has no intention of canceling his scheduled gigs. In fact, he was recently filmed shooting snot onto attendees at a show in Ottawa.
Marilyn is the not the first celebrity to publicly reveal a swine flu diagnosis. Back in July, it was announced that Harry Potter star Rupert Grint had missed several days of filming after contracting the virus.

Natalie Imbruglia hates it when fans give her their underwear.
Although the “Want” singer is disappointed with the lack of male attention she has received since splitting from her husband, Silverchair rocker Daniel Johns, she doesn’t enjoy being bombarded with racy gifts.
“I did get some boxer shorts thrown on stage at V Festival, although that doesn’t really work for me. In fact, it was a bit creepy,” she said. “I don’t really have a group of male followers that turn up at concerts waiting for me when I come off stage either. It tends to be girls that follow performers in that way, I’m not sure why that is. Maybe guys are just being too cool. There aren’t too many men actually. Not as many as I’d like and they’re not queuing up.”

Beyonce Knowles Less Sexy in Malaysia
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, R&B / Soul,
Beyonce Knowles has vowed to wear “appropriate” clothing for her controversial show in Malaysia.
The “Crazy in Love” singer’s scheduled concert in the country’s capital Kuala Lumpur on October 25 has been met with anger by Islamic extremists, who claim her sexy outfits and provocative stage routines are “immoral” and will corrupt young people.
But the 28-year-old star - who had to pull out of a concert in the country two years ago after the same group, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, threatened to protest at the show - has agreed to tone down her performance, meaning the concert can go ahead. Show organizers Marctensia said all parties had reached an “amicable understanding.”
“We are confident that the concert will once and for all silence international critics and put Malaysia back on track… in presenting A-list international pop concerts in this region,” a spokesperson for the entertainment company added.
In August 2007, Gwen Stefani was told to cover up for her Malaysian concert. The flamboyant star wore “sober” outfits but called it a “major sacrifice.” She put jackets over her tops and leotards underneath her skirts and dresses, to conform to the guidelines for the show.
