Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Pop,
Kylie Minogue is about to become a Las Vegas showgirl.
The “Wow” singer - who has spent years trying to crack the US - has been offered a residency in the city after impressing American fans with her recent tour.
“The response from her shows in America have been phenomenal. They love her out there. She was nervous about going over for the first time, but it has gone better than she expected,” Kylie’s sister Dannii revealed to Britain’s Daily Mirror. “She has now been asked to take the show back to Vegas and extend it as a residency over there. I’m so proud of her.”
Las Vegas promoters were mesmerized by her glamorous show and are convinced she can draw in the crowds night after night.
Dannii says Kylie is thrilled by the offer and she will be supported by her family on her opening night. “Kylie called to tell me how well everything has been going and about the Vegas offer. I was joking with her that is finally where she belongs!” she said. “Kylie’s show is perfect for Vegas, it’s so theatrical. She has loved performing out there.”

Although her hips don’t lie, Shakira admits she hasn’t always been in as good shape as she is now.
“As a teenager I was plump but my appearance wasn’t so important at that time. I focused much more on my music and song writing,” she revealed. “I know that image in this profession is a matter of opinion. I think the external appearance in show business is important and over the years I’ve discovered my assets. Honestly, I’ve never seen myself as a goddess or sex symbol.”

Adele Scared of Alienating Fans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Awards, Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Adele is worried her new album could be a failure. The “Hometown Glory” singer is working on her second LP, but is torn between her musical progression and pleasing her established fanbase.
“I’m a bit scared. Obviously there are new avenues that I want to go down with the sound and I don’t want to leave behind the fans who might not like the new sound I am going for, so I’m a bit wary of that,” she told BANG Showbiz at the BMI London Awards (Broadcast Music Incorporated). “I’m writing it slowly but surely. I have a producer but I don’t want anyone to know who it is until the record is done, in case it flops.”
Adele picked up a Pop Award for single “Chasing Pavements” at the ceremony - held at the Dorchester Hotel by the performing rights organization, which collects license fees for artists for use of their songs on TV radio and film. Pop Awards are given to tracks by European songwriters which have gained the most plays on US radio.

Even though it’s been a a year and a half since their wedding, Mariah Carey and her husband like to keep in constant contact. It’s been revealed that the two use lusty long distance conversations to keep the romance alive when their work sends them to separate cities.
Asked how he and Mariah coped with being apart, actor/rapper Nick Cannon said: “There’s lots of phone sex! And when I get home, we have a big party!” The 28-year-old star also revealed he and Mariah, 40, are planning to have a baby in the near future. “We definitely want a family. It’s at the forefront of our minds,” Cannon claimed.
“Of course, we’d be happy with one. I want to be able to manage the right amount of attention,” Mariah added. “We are so busy - if you have six kids running around, no one gets what they need. Kids need a lot of attention.”
If they can’t conceive naturally, the couple would “definitely” consider adoption. “It’s never out of the question. I was raised by my grandmother, who was also a foster mom, so I grew up around a lot of kids,” Nick explained.

Keisha Buchanan was reportedly forced out of the Sugababes because her bandmates were “jealous” of her.
The 24-year-old singer - who was the last original member of the girl group - quit the band last week and it has now been claimed she felt she had to leave because of the way Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah were treating her. The pair are said to have been envious of Keisha, 24, because she was the only member allowed to co-write their songs.
“The girls were jealous as Keisha would meet up with writers, including Cathy Dennis, without them to create some of their biggest hits,” a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper. “When they had meetings with their management there was a perception Keisha was the only Sugababe worth dealing with. In some instances producers refused to start any work in the studio unless Keisha had arrived.”

Katy Perry is secretly kissing Russell Brand - and she likes it.
The “Hot N Cold” singer was whisked away to Thailand on a romantic break with the presenter after impressing him with a picture of her breasts after they met at the MTV Video Music Awards last month. A source said:
“When they were both in New York for the music awards Russell finally got his chance to work his charm on her. Katy knows his bad boy reputation but could not resist - especially when Russell sent a love poem with a note attached saying, ‘Please send me a poem back.’ Russell killed himself laughing when Katy sent a photo of her boobs with the word ‘poem’ scrawled across them. The next minute Russell picked up the phone and invited her to Thailand for a secret getaway.”

Christina Aguilera’s Great Body of Work
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Christina Aguilera is working on her “best album yet.”
The “Candyman” singer has collaborated with M.I.A., Flo Rida, Le Tigre and Santigold on LP Light and Darkness, which is being produced by Tricky Stewart, the mastermind behind Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Beyonce Knowles’ “Single Ladies.”
“It’s just great. I wouldn’t say that it’s alternative, I wouldn’t say that it’s different. Christina’s always been an artist that moves the bar and that’s what the great ones do,” Tricky said. “They don’t stay in the same place for too long and this album is just another move for her. I really feel it’s one of her best bodies of work that I’ve heard since Stripped.”
The LP will be Christina’s fourth studio album, and her first since 2006. But although the album is almost finished, it won’t be released until next year because Christina is too busy working on new film Burlesque with Cher.
“She’s gonna do the film first. She didn’t want to not be able to promote this record because it’s going to be a big record for her,” Stewart added. “The album is finished. She’s mixing. She hasn’t made a final decision about what the first single is, but I know everyone feels good about their options.”
