Miley Cyrus Tour Bus Crash Kills One
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Pop,
A tour bus carrying lighting crew members of Miley Cyrus’ tour overturned this morning, killing the driver.
The bus - one of four traveling near Richmond, Virginia - for some reason went off the side of I-85 before hitting an embankment and falling on its side. The victim, who was pronounced dead on the scene, has not yet been identified. Of the 14 passengers on-board (including the driver), 9 others reportedly sustained relatively minor injuries.
The circumstances of the 8:15 a.m. accident are still being investigated. It’s not known whether rain may have played a role.
The 16-year-old singer, who is set for a Sunday concert in Greenboro, N.C., was not traveling with any part of that caravan. At this time, she is still scheduled to perform this weekend.

As if we needed any more reason to admire the talent of Lady Gaga, we just came across this video of her from her pre-Gaga (and pre-blonde) days. Here, she is performing at the annual NYU talent show as Stefani Germanotta, performing Captivated and Electric Kiss while playing piano.
We also like what she says at the 5:48 mark in the video posted after the break. She is definitely cognizant about her surroundings, and her role in the music business. Listen to her comments about her album, The Fame, as well as Princess Diana.

Janet Jackson has confirmed she has split from boyfriend Jermaine Dupri.
The singer - who was first rumored to have separated from the music executive in July - admitted she didn’t keep in touch with any of her ex-lovers apart from Jermaine during a US radio interview.
Speaking on Atlanta’s “Bert Show,” Jackson said: “I’m not the type of girl that stays in touch with your ex like that. But Jermaine is one of my best friends. I love him to death. We’re still connected. We’re still good friends. We still talk.”
Janet, 43, reportedly ended her seven-year relationship with Jermaine, 37, in the wake of Michael Jackson‘s shocking death. At the time, it was claimed the “All For You” singer decided to call time on the romance because she felt suffocated by her lover.

Nicole Scherzinger always thought she was ugly.
The singer - who is currently working alone since the Pussycat Dolls decided to take a temporary break - said she only started to feel attractive once she joined the group in 2003.
“Growing up, I was incredibly shy. And awkward. And lanky! I always thought I was an ugly duckling. I guess it worked out OK in the end. Ultimately though, true beauty shines from within,” the 31-year-old claims. “I know joining the group helped me to find out who I am - and I love the message that any woman can be strong, confident and sexy.”
Scherzinger said performing with the band helped her feel confident. “I consider myself sexy when I’m dancing with the Dolls. It brings out an inner strength, a bolder attitude and a fiery, fearless spirit,” Nicole added to Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine. “But away from the stage I can be a different person. I’m either shy or goofy, depending on my mood.”

First Look: Beyonce and Lady Gaga Star in Video Phone
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Collaborations, Music Videos, Pop, R&B / Soul,
It should go without saying that any music video involving Lady Gaga will probably be…unusual. But who expected this from Beyoncé?
The minute you see the Reservoir Dogs-style open, you know “Video Phone” will be a wild ride. (It is directed by Hype Williams after all.) Men with cameras as heads? Sasha Fierce armed with futuristic outfits, a Bettie page haircut…and guns? Gaga looking…normal?
I can only imagine what other projects these two ladies have collaborated on. Well, actually - I probably can’t.

Jay-Z Signs The Ting Tings
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Alternative, Pop,
Jay-Z is preparing to give The Ting Tings a career boost in the US. The “That’s Not My Name” duo have just signed with rap superstar’s record label, Roc Nation, for their second album.
“Jay is hoping to lend his production skills to some of the new material,” a source told Britain’s Daily Star. “The Staccato rhythmic style of The Ting Tings sits well with what he does best, so that was the attraction. Jay can make them one of the biggest bands across the pond.”
While the duo are thrilled with their deal, they are unlikely to be happy with the amount of time they will have to spend in America.
The group - made up of singer and guitarist Katie White and drummer and programmer Jules de Martino - recently said despite their huge success, they have been homesick since they started touring the world in support of their debut album We Started Nothing in May 2008.

The imagery alone is WTF-worthy, but when it’s all said and done, you’ll be a better person for having experienced it.

John Mayer Comes to Britney Spears’ Defense
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Pop,
John Mayer has defended Britney Spears for lip-synching in Australia.
The “Gravity” singer - who is also in Australia promoting his latest album - blasted fans who had called for a refund after the “Womanizer” star’s show in Perth after she sparked outrage by not singing live for her whole performance.
“If you’re shocked that Britney was lip-synching at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you,” Mayer wrote on Twitter.
Britney, 27, was said to have hid in her hotel room on Saturday following her performance on Friday night. “Britney is aware of all this and she’s extremely upset by it,” a rep for the star said.
