Glee: Original Songs and Bittersweet Regionals
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip, Video,
Glee had a lot of stuff (and songs) to squeeze into the “Original Song” episode, and as such viewers were treated to the first-ever cold opening in show history. Rather than wasting time on the usual recap, the show threw Gleeks right into a Warblers number (Maroon 5’s “Misery”).
Sweet.

Gypsy Remake Starring Barbra Streisand Canceled
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Remakes, Casting, Celeb News,
Barbra Streisand will no longer be playing Rose in the planned Gypsy film remake -- the movie’s no longer getting made.
Arthur Laurents, who wrote the book that inspired the original 1959 Broadway musical, has withdrawn rights permission for the film. He maintains that Barbra Streisand had nothing to do with his decision, but he never liked the 1962 film version of the story in the first place.
Streisand’s rep hasn’t commented on the sudden change in plans.

Bon Jovi says Steve Jobs personally responsible for killing music industry
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Music,
Apple CEO Steve Jobs is to blame for "killing" the music industry, rocker Jon Bon Jovi recently told the U.K.'s Sunday Times Magazine.
"Kids today have missed the whole experience of putting the headphones on, turning it up to 10, holding the jacket, closing their eyes and getting lost in an album; and the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of pictures and still imagining it," he said.
Bon Jovi's music can be found on iTunes, but apparently, he's none too thrilled about it.
"God, it was a magical, magical time," the "Livin' on a Prayer" singer continued. "I hate to sound like an old man now, but I am, and you mark my words, in a generation from now people are going to say: 'What happened?' Steve Jobs is personally responsible for killing the music business."

Casey Abrams has finally broken his silence regarding his health problems. The American Idol contestant (Top 12 and counting) nearly missed his shot at reality stardom when he was hospitalized following a rehearsal early in the contest, and he was absent from the Top 13 results show because of a second hospitalization.
“I’m feeling really good,” he was all smiles on Monday. Abrams revealed that he suffers from ulcerative colitis, which requires him to get blood transfusions to stay healthy.

Exes Britney Spears and Kevin Federline paired up once again over the weekend -- for their son’s Little League game. The divorced twosome managed to bury the hatchet long enough to watch their son Sean Preston, 5, play with the Westhills Yankees. Second son Jayden, 4, was also on hand.
Jason Trawick, who’s dating Spears, and Victoria Prince, K-Fed’s woman, were also present.

Zune Death: Why no word from Microsoft?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorial, Features, Microsoft, Portable Audio / Video,
Dear Microsoft: Manage your message or someone will do it for you. Case in point: the recent, none-too-surprising news that the lovely Zune HD will meet a timely death. Within minutes of the news breaking, stories and tweets flooded the Internet declaring, "The Zune is Dead." This was followed by people asking if everything "Zune" was gone or just the hardware. I assured people that the obvious answer was the hardware only, but is it that obvious? And why wasn't Microsoft out in front of this information?
Yes, the fact that Microsoft is giving up on music player hardware is bad news for Microsoft and good news for Apple, but it's up to Microsoft to stand up and explain its decision and strategy. In the absence of clear information from Microsoft, everyone else can and will shape the message. So now, even though most within the industry are quite sure that the Zune software and service, which lives on in phones and PCs, is in no danger, average consumers are no longer certain. They could at this very minute be making plans to switch to Apple, iPods and iTunes.
If I were Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, I would have stepped forward and explained the shift away from music-only hardware (leaving aside the fact that most music players do a whole lot more). Then, while wiping away one single tear, I would have quickly shifted gears to a clear strategy, which isn't even new: "For mobile devices, we're focusing our attention on Windows Phone, which already has Zune and Xbox Live functionality." Then I'd add, "This, friends, is not a loss. Lessons we learned from Zune hardware's five-year life have given us invaluable insight and made it possible for use to deliver the Windows Phone platform and some truly stellar partner-driven hardware to wrap around it."

Bieber Fever Could Incite Riot in England
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Photos, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors,
Justin Bieber spent hours on involuntary lockdown on Thursday in Liverpool (birth place of The Beatles, baby) after such a huge crowd of screaming girls gathered outside his hotel, officials were scared a riot might start.
Once the police convinced themselves they could control the crowd, they allowed the Biebs to stand on his balcony and wave to the fans. The idea was that seeing Justin would give them what they came for, and they would naturally disperse after his appearance. But the crowd remains as enthusiastically out of control as ever. Justin had to cancel a scheduled concert because the environment was so unsafe, he couldn't even leave the hotel.
Maybe let him sing a few bars of “Baby” to quiet them down?

American Idol gave itself a big opening for the Wednesday results show to get the crowd good and hyped for the intense hour that would follow. Approximately 30 million votes were recorded for the Top 13 singers… but, it may mean nothing. The judges’ save, offered in recent seasons, is active once again. At any time, the panel may save one eliminated contestant and keep them in the contest.
On the fashion front, Steven Tyler wore a long trench coat, J-Lo an asymmetrical blouse that was literally frightening and Ryan Seacredst his standard black suit.
Casey Abrams was not present for the live show; he has been hospitalized once again. Again, Abrams was rushed in for treatment after he complained of severe stomach pains. We’ll keep you updated on his story through VIP Breakdown.
