Yoko Ono has revealed plans to write an autobiography about her eventful life with John Lennon.
“I would love to do it. I just have to find the time,” the 76-year-old widow said. “It will be my next book, which will be written in the next five years.”
Yoko - who was blamed by many Beatles’ fans for causing the legendary band to split - previously claimed she wouldn’t release a book for fear of hurting the families of people close to the group, including Lennon’s ex-wife. John and Cynthia - who had a son Julian together - divorced in 1968, one year before his marriage to Yoko, the mother of his son Sean.
Lennon later died in 1980 after being shot by deranged fan Mark Chapman outside his New York apartment building.

Jimmy Page Eager for Led Zeppelin Reunion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Reunions, Rumors, Rock,
If Jimmy Page had his way, fans could soon see a return from his genre-defining 70s band. Unfortunately, the fate of his old group rests in the hands of its former lead singer.
“You’d better ask Robert Plant what the future of Led Zeppelin is,” the legendary guitarist said. “Musicians can always play together but I don’t think you can go out with a band called Led Zeppelin if you haven’t got the original vocalist.”
A reunion is in doubt, however, as Robert is presently recording a new album with vocalist Alison Krauss - a follow up to their award winning debut together, Raising Sand - while the group’s other surviving member, John Paul Jones, is now a member of supergroup Them Crooked Vultures.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Rumors, Pop,
Rumor has it that Disney darlings the Jonas Brothers might be headed for a break up. Quoting a mysterious “family insider,” Popeater reports that “Kevin’s heart is just not in the group anymore. His wife Danielle is his number one priority.”
Nick Jonas has a solo album coming out in February, and he’ll be taking a 14-city tour to start things off. It could be a precursor to more solo projects to come…and no more brother act for the Jonas boys.

Duet for Susan Boyle and Andrea Bocelli
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Performances, Rumors,
Susan Boyle - whose debut album I Dreamed a Dream was the fastest-selling debut LP ever released by a woman - is planning to team up with Italian operatic legend Andrea Bocelli for a new TV talent show.
The pair will sing together on ITV1’s Pop Star to Opera Star, where pop musicians will compete against each other by singing classical arias.
“Susan has held Andrea off the top of the US charts for weeks - it’s incredible. But he holds no grudges, he joked that he ‘must sing with this amazing woman,’” a source told The Sun.
When they perform together, the pair are expected to duet on one of Grammy-nominated Andrea’s most famous songs - either “Time To Say Goodbye,” which he famously performed with Sarah Brightman, or “The Prayer,” which he sang with Celine Dion.

Norah Jones says turning 30 helped her record a “more personal” album.
The “Don’t Know Why” singer believes reaching the milestone in March forced her to reassess her life and had a change in her creative approach to making The Fall, which has sold over half a million copies since being released last month.
“It seems to be an age where everyone goes through changes. All my good friends have. Everyone’s either breaking up or getting involved or married or having a baby,” she said. “So when I made that album I think I was looking outside myself more at that time, because of where I was and what was going on in the world. The past couple of years, though, I’ve looked inward more.”
Norah - who split from long-time boyfriend Lee Alexander earlier in the year - also says she feels no pressure to recreate the huge success she had in her 20s.
“I don’t feel like I have anything to prove now. My label actually was excited about me trying something new,” she told USA Today. “I have a lot of support and a lot of freedom. It’s a good place to be in.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Gossip, Music Videos, Dance,
Brittany Murphy was worried people wouldn’t take her seriously as a singer.
The actress - who died on December 20 at age 32 - provided the vocals for DJ Paul Oakenfold’s 2006 dance track “Faster Kill Pussycat” but wasn’t keen on be credited for the song.
“I said to her, ‘Why hide behind something? You have a really great vocal. People are going to be shocked and pleasantly happy with what they’re going to hear. You are not one of these actresses who are trying to sing and not doing a good job of it,’” Paul said. “I demoed three other girls on that song - and some of the girls were pretty big singers - and Brittany blew them away.”
