M.I.A. has been booked for the second night of Coachella and will take the stage on April 18th. She’ll be replacing Amy Winehouse who will not be performing as she’s been denied a work visa due to all her legal troubles.
M.I.A. had her baby just last month, guess she’s not going to to be taking an extended maternity leave. I have to hand it to her, she worked right up to her delivery when she performed at the Grammys on her due date!
TMZ has M.I.A’s new baby’s birth certificate and, the baby’s name is not Ickitt, it’s Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman. There had been a rumour floating around on the internet that she was calling her child Ickitt and she took to her blog to dispute that matter and now we know the rumour was just that a rumour. Ikhyd is unusual, just like her.
Dita Von Teese who is Marilyn Manson’s ex-wife says she’s been getting a few calls from him lately.
Dita said:
“He’s been in touch a little. The apologies come, and he was like, ‘I made a big mistake’. And I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah, I know. Go ahead and say what you need to say to feel better and to sleep at night.’ Right now I’ve got three (men). They’re all in different parts of the world… That’s my biggest sin – juggling men.”
He’s had a few young chicas since they split. A couple of the girls seemed to be trying to be younger versions of Dita dressing with a similar fashion sense to hers but they only came off as poor imitations.
Did he finally realize that there is nothing like the original?
I like Dita’s style even though I somehow doubt she has 3 guys right now. While I am sure she’d have no problem doing so, I think she’s just saying it to keep up appearances- which I don’t blame her for at all. She seems to be the kind of woman that when she’s with someone, she’s really with him.
I think the Manson experience made her grow up as a person, because I can tell you that she used to be way more “bi***er than she is now. She must be loving it now that he has finally realized he made a mistake by dumping her.
Avril Lavigne’s signature little girl/Barbie-punk emo-style is still going on even though she’s now 24 years old. Check out the pink trimmed tutu and Doc Martens. She is across the pond for the launch of her new fragrance Black Star.
Avril and her posse arrived at Boujis nightclub in Kensington at around midnight. They stayed for an hour and then headed off to Whiskey Mist in Mayfair for awhile. Then they ended up at the Bungalow 8 nightclub at Covent Garden and finally left around 4 in the morning.
Her hubby Deryck was supposedly with her and though I couldn’t find a picture of them together, I did find this one of her and some hot looking guy who may be her bodyguard. With the protective arm around her waist he must be an employee taking care of her!:
Usher was snapped here partying in Paris without wife Tameka who is still recuperating from her near-death experience that occurred during a liposuction procedure in Brazil. Not sure what reason he’s in Paris for, could be Fashion Week, but after reading the comment he made about Chris Brown needing to be more humble, he could use some of his ‘humility’ advice himself.
Check out the belle fille in the picture below. Not sure who she is or why she’s there dressed so provocatively showing off her assets but there he is popping a bottle of champagne looking as if he hasn’t got a care in the world. Wonder what wifey Tameka thinks?
Here are Usher’s thoughts when he was asked about Chris Brown’s jet skiing in Miami so shortly after the incident involving his assault on Rihanna. Jermaine Durpi has a new project going on and he videotaped Usher during a recording session saying he was dissapointed that Chris wasn’t showing more ‘humility.’
On the tape, Usher said:
“I’m a little disappointed in this photo. After the other photo [of Rihanna’s bruised face posted by TMZ last month]? C’mon, Chris. Have a little bit of remorse, man. The man’s on jet skis? Like, just relaxing in Miami?”
He then made a new statement that read:
“The comments made during a recent recording session amongst friends were taken out of context and blown out of proportion. I apologize on behalf of myself and my friends if anyone was offended. The intentions were not to pass judgment and we meant no harm. I respect and wish the best for all parties involved.”
Yes his wife seems to have recovered, and yes he is allowed to party with friends, but he is a new daddy after all so this picture just seems all sorts of wrong to me and if it is innocent enough who is this sexy woman anyways?!
Lily Allen did the freak on a group of photographers today in London. Check out the pictures of her ranting and hitting before security could restrain her.
The photographers tried to snap her leaving her London home and somehow during the tussle — one of them was shoved into her car so she began swearing at everyone.
Lily finally got to the recording studio a little while later but then she saw more more paparazzi and tossed a water bottle at one of them.
She was hauled down to the police station and questioned for a freak out on paps almost two years ago to the day. No charges were filed then. Homegirl needs to learn how to punch though… she looks like a pathetic amateur.
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:
Purple Electricity
Calling all Purpleheadz: ready 2 get plugged in?
From the 24th on, there will b a slew of NPG-related events happening around electric LAlaland.. we don’t want 2 give away all the details yet, but b prepared 2 get yo groove on, numerous ways 4 numerous days. We know $ is tite but the adventures will b worth ur while! Stay 2ned 2 this outtaspacestation.
The grammar, punctuation and spelling are not ‘worthy’ of his purple highness but we’ll have to wait and see just what this ’slew” of events entails.
Apparently, Jennifer Lopez has an over-inflated sense of entitlement … and what Jenny from the block wants, she gets.
The diva had been loaned $50,000 worth of diamonds from Swiss jeweler Robert Mouawad in Beverly Hills last week for a fashion launch party.
Instead of doing what she should have done the following day which was to return the gems, Lopez decided that she wanted the expensive bling for herself!
“We received a call from [her manager] Benny Medina, informing us that Jennifer was going to keep the jewelery. As far as Mr. Mouawad is concerned, Jennifer can have whatever she wants, but a premature demand seemed presumptuous,” am unnamed source on informed news outlets.
Lopez’s manager is now saying that the diva didn’t “demand” to keep the diamonds – she believed the jewelry was her compensation for attending the launch. If that was the case, then why did her manager call to announce that she was keeping them? Put them on the spot so they couldn’t say NO GIVE THEM BACK!!
Receiving $50,000 worth of diamonds as payment for a public appearance. This must be how the rich get richer and the poor stay impoverished. J. Lo has always had a sense of entitlement, and it’s becoming more blatant obvious as she ages. If her career is fading as so many are suggesting, this kind of “gossip” is NOT going to help her image in the slightest.
“Dont be fooled by the rocks that I got,
I just took them from a launch down the block…”
The Jonas brothers haven’t been raking it in as expected despite their surprise ‘pop in’ appearances at various theaters throughout the US showing their movie. It was projected that it would rake in $30-$40 million at the U.S. box offices, but instead it earned Disney an estimated $12.7 million dollars.
After coming in at #2 in the U.S. box office over the weekend which is a major disappointment, they have now also failed to win the #1 spot for album sales, sitting at #3 with the soundtrack for their 3-D Concert Experience.
The brothers sold 30,000 copies LESS than their label projected. They managed to unload only 53,465 units.
So do you want to know who beat them out?
Joe Jonas’ ex, Taylor Swift!!
Revenge of the ex-girlfriends is sweet news to all of their fans.
Taylor’s latest album, Fearless, moved over 20,000 more copies than their album, and as we all know, she dated one of the brothers and was dumped. So she must be feeling pretty dam* good right about now. Her fans’ crazy love for her record has kept her at #1 for the 11th week now, selling 74,635 copies – a 19% gain from the week before!
The other ex, Miley also did waaay better with her movie’s box office opening! Miley Cyrus’s Hannah Montana 3-D earned almost three times the amount of the brothers and it was only played in about half as many theaters.
Mike Myers and Paris Hilton were crowned king and queen at Saturday’s Razzies. The Razzies dis-honor Hollywood’s worst achievements of the past year in a wacked out ceremony traditionally held a day before the Oscars.
Neither of them attended the ceremony, but they each won three Golden Raspberry Awards: Meyers, because his The Love Guru was the worst picture; he was the worst actor in it; and he co-wrote the script, selected as worst of the year.
Paris’s awards were for worst actress for The Hottie and the Nottie, worst supporting actress for Repo! The Genetic Opera and worst screen couple with either of her Hottie costars, Christine Lakin or Joel David Moore.
Usher’s rep says his wife, Tameka Raymond, is recovering from surgery in Brazil. Publicist Simone Smalls released the following :
“is in stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery in Brazil. Her husband Usher is with her at the hospital.”
No further details were provided. In her statement, Smalls went on to say:
“the family requests privacy at this difficult time.”
Usher was supposed to be one of the performers at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party Saturday night, but he had to cancel citing “a serious family illness.” How upsetting. She flys thousands of miles away for some surgery hoping for privacy, develops complications and now everyone knows.
The couple were married in August 2007. They have two young sons, 2-year-old Usher Raymond V and 2-month-old Naveid Ely Raymond.
