Janet Jackson’s representative stated that the singer was hospitalized after she became sick right before one of her concerts. A statement released by W&W Public Relations stated that the singer canceled the concert in Montreal Monday after she “got suddenly ill”.
Apparently the 42 year old singer was on her North American tour and fell sick during her sound check. She was then rushed to the hospital just before the show was going to begin.

When you have millions of money under your belt you have the ability to buy whatever you want and to throw some of the best parties on the block. The Jonas Brothers have the money to throw a great party and they know how to rock it out. E!

Metallica’s new album ‘Death Magnetic’ debuted at the top spot of the Billboard charts. It seems though that many fans were disappointed about the quality of the music. Dozens of fans said that the sound quality of the whole album is distorted and makes it sound as if the legendary band does not know what they are doing. Are they finally showing their true colors or have they technically ’spiced’ up their new CD to make it more appealing to their fans?
It seems that the role of actor and singer go hand in hand. Many are required to do both for certain movies (Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor are a good example) and some just decide later in life to take on both careers at one time. The same works for singers who decide to push their luck and take on acting. Some have been successful at this (Miley Cyrus) and others are not able to make their mark as well as they had hoped (Scarlett Johansson).
Alice in Chains are preparing to record a brand new album this year. This will be the first album that they have recorded in 13 years and will also be the band’s first since Layne Staley - the frontman for the band - died from a drug overdose in 2002.
The band is now joined by their new singer William DeVall and will begin recording in the studio this fall. Writing on the band’s website, band associate Baldy said: “October will arrive and Alice In Chains will reconvene to record the new album.
We have always heard that some actors/actresses have been told to gain weight for the specific roles they have to play - but we have never heard of them actually enjoying putting on the weight.
Beyonce was told to gain 20 pounds to play the role of Etta James in the upcoming movie drama ‘Cadillac Records’. She told British magazine Marie Claire that gaining the weight “was so much fun”. Yet, she was told for her next role in ‘Obsessed’ that she had to lose the weight. “I had to lose it,” she laments. “I was so angry with myself. I was like, ‘D’oh! Why do you have to go through this?’”
It was very tight this week to see who would make it to the number one spot on the Billboard charts. It was the heavy metal band Slipknot that finally won the spot after a recount. Apparently no one could believe that the masked band would ever reach to new heights.
They managed to push themselves ahead of the rapper The Game - who was in first place during the first count and by a very slim margin. But, after data was reprocessed because of the margin, Slipknot came out top.
