Actress and musician Zooey Deschanel is fed up of people confusing her for Katy Perry. She’s at the point now where the continuing case of being mistaken for her look-alike has reached its limit.
She had this to say:
“It’s a little bit annoying, to be totally blunt. The only similarity that we have is that we look a bit alike. I used to get, ‘I heard you were out at such-and-such club drinking whiskey!’ [when] I was at home watching TV,” joked Deschanel.
“I think we lead very different lives. At some point I feel like this will stop being a thing. I like the way my life goes. It’s sort of strange to be associated with someone that’s doing such different stuff than me. It’s weird.”
I’m surprised she doesn’t consider it a compliment that some people would mistake her for a wild child like Katy Perry! She’s recently become engaged so maybe that’s why she has a problem with it. Katy does like to party like a rock star.
Zooey Deschanel also has talent, lots of it, actually. Her album with She & Him was very well-received by critics, while Katy’s ended up on a number of worst album of the year lists.
She & Him was also named album of the year by a well-respected music magazine as well. So maybe that’s why she’s offended.
Nick, Kevin and Joe will release their fourth album on June 15th.
Nick told Billboard.com:
“This album is taking steps. We’re trying to learn as much as we can, continuing to grow. [The album is] our journal in songs [about] all things we’ve gone through, personal experiences we get inspiration from. We’ve also been working on trying to use metaphors…to kind of mask a literal thing that happens to us.”
The Jonas Brothers are getting ready for their massive world tour this summer that will feature six stops in Canada: Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.
The band had this to say about their Canadian tour dates which will be during June-August:
“We are so pumped actually to go to visit Canada, we love it up there,” said Joe Jonas, who said the band filmed “Camp Rock” just north of Toronto. “We had a great time up there. Overall, just Canada in general, we’re going to be hitting some cities we’ve never hit before. That’s going to be fun, and we’re really thrilled about that.”
They are looking forward to some Canadian sunshine:
“To travel in Canada, it’s just a beautiful time of year, so it should just be a lot of fun for the band.”
The tour will be “in-the-round” with an enormous 43-metre circular stage that has them in the center of the audience, as well as a circular water screen, which Kevin says will make the audience feel like they’re “in a whole other world when (they) enter the arena and see the stage.”
The brothers just added two more dates to their world tour:
– July 11 Allstate Arena Chicago, Ill.
– August 9 Staples Center Los Angeles, CA
Ashley released the clip below giving her fans a sneak peek of her new music video:
Her new single is called, “It’s Alright, It’s Ok!”
This is what she says in the little recorded message just before the song plays:
“Hey guys, this is Ashley Tisdale. I’m in the studio right now listening to the final mix of my single, ‘It’s Alright, It’s Ok,’ and I wanted to give you the tiniest sneak peek. I’m really excited for you to hear the rest of the song and see your reactions. So, keep checking in for more music updates. Bye!”

It kind of sort of sounds a wee bit like “So What” by Pink. Fans of Disney music need to say ciao to Ashley as she is now 23 years old and seems to be taking her music in a different direction. Her previous album Headstrong did fairly well. I wish her luck with this new one.
Nicole Scherzinger wearing a traditional Indian bindhi and the rest of the Pussycat Dolls are pictured here as they arrive at a taping of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon at NBC Studios in Rockefeller Center last night.
If you want to catch them performing their new single, “Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)”, the English remix of A.R. Rahman’s “Jai Ho,” watch his show tonight. The song is a take-off of the Oscar-winning track from Slumdog Millionaire.
The Dolls recently shot the video for the song in Vienna with director Thomas Kloss who has also done work for Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus. A.R. Rahman also appears in the video and on the new remix.
Tune into NBC tonight at 12:35/11:35 to see them perform.
Prince’s rep has apparently sent the following ‘exclusive’ message from The Artist himself to some of the higher profile blogs. It says as follows:

Ever heard of the old expression that says somewhere in the world each of us has a twin, someone who looks just like us? Well it seems that Corbin Bleu may have met his!
Corbin Bleu met his “twin”, skater Steven Smith, who plays Chad in High School Musical: The Ice Tour.
Corbin, will be doing exclusive mini-concerts following each Bay Area performance of the ice tour. As a special treat, Corbin will give all ticket holders a sneak peek of his sophomore album, Speed of Light, which drops March 10th.

Here’s a picture from Miley’s new video, “The Climb”, which will air tonight on the Disney Channel. The track will be featured in her new film, Hannah Montana: The Movie. That looks like her personal guitar, as it looks like the same one she played on the Best of Both Worlds tour and the same guitar her Dad gave her.
Here is a clip of her singing the song at the Kids’ Inaugural we are the Future :
Rihanna graces the cover of the Mexican version of GQ. Isn’t she well-toned and fabulous?
In other news she will NOT be wearing any skimpy outfits when she performs in Malaysia next month, the concert’s organizers said yesterday. She will be the latest international star affected by the Muslim-majority country’s strict rules on performers’ dress.
Gwen Stefani and Avril Lavigne faced protests by conservative Muslim Malaysians over immodest clothes.
Government guidelines state that a female performer must be covered from the top of her chest, including her shoulders, to her knees. We all know that Rihanna LOVES black leather bustiers, short shorts and boots.
Rihanna’s February 13 concert in Kuala Lumpur is part of her Good Girl Gone Bad tour, and has had some threats from a radical Muslim group, Parti Islam SeMalaysia.
The group, who were outraged by Lavigne’s onstage moves last year stating them as “too sexy”, said in an online commentary that Rihanna was “sexier and more dangerous” than Lavigne.
Approximately 20 000 units of her album Good Girl Gone Bad have been sold in Malaysia. Proceeds from the concert will go to the Force Of Nature Aid Foundation.
