Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Awards, Country, Pop, R&B / Soul,
The late Michael Jackson was honored with four American Music Awards (AMAs) last night. In addition to wins for Favorite Soul/ R&B Artist and Favorite Pop/Rock Male Vocalist, the singer won Favorite Pop/Rock Album and Favorite Soul/R&B Album for his Number Ones compilation.
Jermaine Jackson, who accepted the prizes on his brother’s behalf, paid tribute to Michael while praising his life philosophy.
Wearing a single white glove in tribute to Michael, Jermaine said: “It’s not just about the winnings, the awards. It’s mainly the message. The message Michael had will live on forever. He saw good in everyone. Start with love and let’s love each other.”

Taylor Swift Chooses Scented Candles, Diary Over Dating
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Music, Dating, Rumors,
While she sparkles on the 3D cover of December’s InStyle issue, Taylor Swift squashes some dating rumors on the inside pages.
“I’ve never thought it was a curse to be single, and at this point in my life, I’m in the mind-set where I choose to be single—like I got to light scented candles and write in my diary and I wouldn’t have time for that if I had a boyfriend right now!” the multiple CMA winner said.
Throwing us off her and Taylor Lautner’s scent, eh? Well, considering all the evidence surrounding their clandestine relationship, it’s going to take more than an interview (most likely taken some time ago) to deter the rumors.
As she boasts about loving the single life, Swift didn’t hesitate to gush about working with Lautner: “He and I have gotten really close. It would be confusing on the set with two Taylors in the same scene. They were like, ‘Taylor, on your mark—no, not you, the other one!’ So halfway through the shoot, I said, ‘How about you guys call me Swifty and call him Taylor?’”
Too cute!

Vampire Diaries Desperate For Taylor Swift
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, The CW, Gossip, News, Rumors,
With the kind of ratings she’s scoring, it’s no wonder that Vampire Diaries executive producer Kevin Williamson wants Taylor Swift on his show.
“I’m desperate to have [Swift] come play a vampire. Wouldn’t she make an amazing Kirsten Dunst circa Interview With the Vampire type? Oh my god, I cannot tell you how hard I’m trying to get her—I would kill to have her on the show!” Williamson said.
I’m not sure how her anti-vampire boyfriend would like that idea very much, but hey, he said he was desperate.
No deal has been penned thus far; Williamson fears that she’s “too big for Vampire Diaries now.” I can’t say that I disagree, considering all those awards she’s won. Then again, let’s face the facts here—Lindsay Lohan is too big for that show.
