“All it’s going to do is depress me,” he told The Associated Press in a recent interview. “I don’t want to know I’m getting older. Then I’ll start to think about getting checkups and insurance. I don’t want that.”

Many people are said that his age is somewhere between 25 to 35 years old. In 2006 he told reporters that he was 25. However, he did sneak a peek at his birth certificate which said that his birthday was April 6th, 1977. If this is accurate than that would make him 31.

Now people are accusing Akon of trying to falsify his age and make himself younger in the eyes of the people. The singer defends himself saying that while he was born in the United States he spent most of his childhood in Senegal – the town that his family is from. During this time he said that he never knew what it was.

“In Africa … age is not important over there. They don’t care. People only focus on it here (America) and in Europe.” So when people ask him how old he is he gives them a random number. “I feel like I’m 21 right now,” he says. “And I’ll be 21 for the next 10 years.”

But now Jennifer said that it is time for the show to go on. The talented ‘American Idol’ will be performing during the 51st Annual Grammy Awards where she has been nominated for four awards and she will also be singing the national anthem during the Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida. Her performance a the Super Bowl will be her first public performance since the tragedy.

Hudson has been nominated for four Emmy’s including Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song (for “Spotlight”), Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals for her duet with Fantasia (”I’m His Only Woman”), and Best R&B Album.

Boy George’s lawyers said that their client as well as the escort had acted like “drug-crazed idiots” and that the singer’s drug abuse was the main reason for it. The singer has denied these charges of imprisoning the escort and said that he did it to make sure that his computer had not been tampered with.

The escort said that as he was trying to escape from the apartment Boy George began to swing a metal chain at him. Boy George denied this – but the pictures of the escort’s injuries made it all too convincing for the judge who warned the singer that he would receive jail time as his sentence.

Not only did Notorious inspire Lil Kim – but the two were also involved romantically. In real life their relationship had rough patches and this is seen in the movie. However, Lil Kim believes that this is inaccurately portrayed.

In a statement, she said: “The film studio and producers involved were more concerned about painting me as a ‘character’ to create a more interesting story line instead of a person with talent, self-respect and who was able to achieve her own career success through hard work.”

She added: “Even though my relationship with Big was at times very difficult and complicated (as with most relationships we have all experienced at one time or another), it was also genuine and built on great admiration and love for each other. Regardless of the many lies in the movie and false portrayal of me to help carry a story line through, I will still continue to carry his legacy through my hard work and music.”

Voletta Wallace – Wallace’s mother – said that Lil Kim has no right to be judging the movie in any way. “This is not a Lil Kim movie ,” she said. “This is a Christopher Wallace movie . It has nothing to do with Lil Kim. If she’s disappointed and upset, that is her problem.”

Biggie’s former manager and the producer of the movie – Wayne Barrow – did not appreciate Lil Kim’s comments and wished that she would keep them to herself. “Our job as producers … was to deliver for three individuals. That’s his mom and his two children. Everybody else: Stand in line, buy a ticket and enjoy the show.”

Asheton’s assistant had called the police to check up on him because he was unable to reach him for several days. Authorities responding to the call discovered him in his bedroom where he looked “fairly peaceful”. For now the police do not think that there is any foul play involved in his death. However, they will still be performing an autopsy to discover the cause of death. Many believe it was a heart attack.

Asheton certainly made his mark on the world when he and his brother Scott (drummer), Dave Alexander (bassist), and Jim Osterberg (vocalist) formed the Stooges and went on to create a new genre of music. They formed their group in Ann Arbor, Michigan and their crazy antics on stage and wild music jump started the punk rock movement.

The Stooges broke up in 1974 – but they were never forgotten. In 2003 they got back together and during the end of 2008 they had finished their European tour. Asheton above all of them had the most fun and enjoyment from it.

In fact it seems that Jackson is in perfect health. Which is good to hear. We are all curious now as to why Ian Halperin – Jackson’s biographer – came up to this conclusion. He should confirm all of his sources and facts before he finishes a book on him.

Many believe that his rapping is so great that he should be winning more awards than he has gotten. Of course we can’t help – but be annoyed by his arrogance. Humble is a word that he does not know. But he is only human after all and one day we knew that the arrogance would catch up to him in the end. He was dealt a harsh blow of humble pie last week.

Last Saturday West performed on the hit comedy show ‘Saturday Night Live’. Fans were hoping to see their famous rapper take the stage and show us exactly how great he is. But they were all disappointed. Many described his act as horrible. It sounded like an amateur was performing instead of a long time rapper that has won several awards.

The worst part was when he performed “Love Lockdown”. He was having a lot of trouble handling the high notes. So much so that he eventually pulled away from the mic and gave the hard notes to an offstage singer handle. It finally dawned on fans that the secret behind Kanye West’s fame and glory is the art of dubbing and technology. Is any of us surprised? How many singers have been busted for this?

It seems that his fans were both surprised and very angry by this. They were angry that he would lip synch through a live performance (even though he didn’t do a good job). If he had the proper equipment and could do it right it might have sounded better and no one would have been the wiser. But now fans understand just how mediocre West is. Looks like that high horse has been knocked right from under him.

Biographer Ian Halperin said that the singer – who has been recently tackling lawsuits and money problems – was using a wheelchair and has already gone half blind because of how sick he is.

Halperin told The Sun, “He needs a lung transplant, but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It’s the bleeding that’s the most problematic part. It could kill him. He can barely speak. The vision in his left eye is 95 per cent gone.”

Germaine – Jackson’s brother – told the media, “He’s not doing so well right now. This isn’t a good time.”

Jackson recently lose his home Neverland due to financial difficulties. This was the home/amusement park that he had built and which he was very proud of.

Swift said that it is not new for her to mix with pleasure with a little bit of business. “I like to write about boys and relationships,” Swift told writer Antonia Van Der Meer. ”I write songs about the things that happen to me, because it helps me figure them out. Writing songs is like breathing for me.”

She also talked about what it was like to kiss. “I was 15 and the oldest out of all my friends to have not kissed a guy,” Swift said as she talked about her first kiss. Who knows maybe Crawford will choose to be her next beau? After all he seems to like country singers. He an Carrie Underwood dated for eight months.

He was charged for harassment in the second degree – which is considered by the court as a violation instead of a crime. He was sentenced to 65 hours of community service and a fine of $350.

Obviously the kid probably does not think that this is a strong enough punishment. His father probably does not thing so either. He confronted Akon in the courtroom and said, “You threw my son off the stage!”

Akon’s representative said, “We are pleased that the case has been resolved and Akon looks forward to putting this unfortunate incident behind him.”

Usually the courts are all about protecting the rights of children and making sure they are safe. In this case though it seems to not be enough. Do you think that he should have received a harsher sentence?
