Jessica Simpson’s New Country Music Single
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Editorials,
Realizing she will never have Christina Aguilera’s chops or Britney Spears’ popularity, Jessica Simpson has decided to try a new route: country music.
According to father/manager Joe Simpson, the album - which is due out in September - is Jessica’s way of getting back to her Texas roots. (I’m sure her ‘coincidental’ relationship with Tony Romo is considered a bonus.)
While I’m admittedly not a Simpson fan, I must admit - this genre may suit her well. Long gone are the breathy vocals, annoying runs and forced sexiness. Plus, she gets some nice backup vocals to support her.
If you like what you’re hearing, you can find Jessica performing ‘Come On Over’ at your local fair sometime this summer.

Although he was happy to welcome a son just two weeks, rapper Xzibit is now mourning the loss of his newborn. In a blog posted on MySpace, the X-Files: I Want to Believe star informed his friends of Xavier Kingston Joiner’s sad death.
The baby - born on May 15th - passed away early Monday morning; the young child’s premature delivery didn’t allow his lungs to develop properly.
In his statement (which can be read after the jump), Alvin Nathaniel Joiner (the star’s real name) encouraged his fans to protect their children. He also thanked those who had sent messages of support.

Alanis Morissette’s New Album and New Body
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Videos,
Earlier this week, singer Alanis Morissette hit the Today show stage to promote her latest album, Flavors of Entanglement. (You can see a clip from the concert after the jump.) And while the fans should have been focusing on her new single (“Underneath”), they couldn’t help but notice the 33-year-old’s new body.
Even though it was hard denying Morissette had seen better days, it wasn’t her obvious weight gain that bothered me. (Sadly, she’s probably just a Size 4 now.) I just wanted to know where her stylist was! Yes, we know her ex is now newly engaged...but that was no reason for her to dress so poorly. The ill-fitting pants or unflattering vest just weren’t necessary.
C’mon, Alanis. Performers like Jordin Sparks have already proven you can be larger and beautiful too!

Miley Cyrus’s Racy Internet Photos: Round Three
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Photos,
So let’s make this clear. Even though Miley Cyrus has already issued a statement about her regrettable photos, should that same apology apply to pics still coming out?
Surprisingly, someone out there has been holding back on the internet community. While I thought we’d seen everything Cyrus-related by now, apparently there is a shoebox full of self-portraits still waiting to be released. Unfortunately, the latest two photos to hit the web really don’t show any originality.
C’mon, Miley. You must have had a thousand publicity photos taken of you by now. Don’t you have any more original poses in your repertoire? How many ways can you show off your underwear?
(You can find more stories about Miley and her photos here.)

Shania Twain’s Marriage Drama Continues
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Divorce, Rumors,
You knew a 14-year marriage could not have ended without at least a little scandal, right?
As reported last week, singer Shania Twain and long-time husband, Mutt Lange, have announced they are finally calling it quits. Anyone reading into the press statement at the time might have noticed something missing; nowhere did it say the “split was amicable” or that they would “remain good friends.” That’s because it didn’t and they probably won’t.
Over the past week, people close to the pair have been claiming that a third party - someone Shania knew quite well - was involved in the split. The alleged other woman, 37-year-old Marie-Anne Thiébaud, was a former employee of the couple. (Thiébaud worked as a secretary and a house manager of their Switzerland estate.) According to sources, Mutt and Marie-Ann both left their partners and are still currently involved.

Can DWTS’ Julianne Hough Sing as Well as She Can Dance?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Videos,
Even though critics have recently panned actress Scarlett Johansson’s debut album, her music experience won’t stop other stars from moonlighting as a singer. (You can see Scarlett’s video here.)
Earlier today, dancer Julianne Hough performed live for the Good Morning America audience. The two-time Dancing with the Stars champ just released her first album and is set to go on tour with country artist Brad Paisley.
Listen and decide for yourself. Do you think she’s as talented a singer as she is a dancer? Or should she stick to her day job?

Just a few weeks ago, we reported that Liv Tyler and husband Royston Langdon were filing for divorce. Now we’re hearing about more personal troubles for the Tyler family.
According to Us Magazine, musician Steven Tyler has checked into the Las Encinas Hospital drug rehabilitation clinic. (This is the same location Dr. Drew Pinsky works at.) As the long-time frontman for Aerosmith, this would not be the 60-year-old’s first stint in rehab. Reports are the singer is currently seeking help for another substance abuse problem.
Back in Sept 2006, Tyler also revealed that he been going through treatment for Hepatitis C, a condition that he had had for several years. This medical issue was happening around the time he and his wife, Teresa, were divorcing after 17 years of marriage.

Nicole Kidman Finally Proves She’s Pregnant
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Pregnancies, Photos, Paparazzi Photos,
Although her pregnancy was confirmed way back in January, recent photos of Nicole Kidman have revealed nothing more than a very small pea in her pod. That is until now.
At last night’s Country Music Awards, the actress - who attended with musician hubby Keith Urban - was more than happy to show off her growing belly to the photographers.
Sadly, It’s taken her at least 4 months to gain that weight and it will probably only take her 4 days to get it off.

Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson Officially Wed
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Weddings, Pregnancies, Rumors,
With help from papa Joe, Ashlee Simpson and fiance Pete Wentz officially wrapped up their shotgun nuptials this weekend in Los Angeles.
The two musicians, who have been dating since late 2006, announced their engagement just over a month ago. Since that time, numerous sites have reported that the new couple is expecting. Even though no official pregnancy rumors have been confirmed, the wedding’s timing does seem quite suspect.
While I’m sure this is not how Joe Simpson planned on becoming grandfather, he apparently approved the pairing; the patriarch was the officiant for the non-denominational ceremony.
And while Ashlee’s wedding day should have been the focus this Saturday, her sister may have possibly stolen the media spotlight. Although its believed Jessica Simpson is now once again single, Tony Romo was nice enough to escort her to the event. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see when their honeymoon period ends.

Britney Spears Blames Medication for Weight Gain
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Rumors,
Although Britney Spears’ body has definitely seen better days, some have started speculating about her recent weight gain. Is the pop star really going to be a mother…again?
Well, despite what the tabloids would love to believe, Britney’s waistline is not the result of any pregnancy. (Who’d be the supposed father anyway? And where the heck has Adnan Ghalib gone?) According to the Daily Mail, the singer blames a new medication for her recent bloating.
As questionable as her decisions have been over the past few years, I’d like to believe her explanation is true. I highly doubt Spears would be stupid enough to openly smoke if she was knocked up. (Keep fingers crossed.)
