Mariah Carey is using her money and many talents to help those who have a hard time helping themselves. The singer is the newest Global Hunger Ambassador for the Yum! Foundation’s World Hunger Relief Campaign. Starting September 25th Mariah will be using her voice to encourage her fans from around the world to pick up a coded card at one of the 36,000 restaurants belonging to Yum.
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! Online stated that the brothers rented out the LA’s Dodger Stadium this Thursday night in order to celebrate the 16th birthday for Nick.
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.
Dr. Dre was excited to be releasing his new ‘Detox’ album - which is his third and last installment in his solo album trilogy that he has worked so long and hard on. What would be an exciting time to him is now being put on hold to deal with a family crisis.
Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood are lashing out at each other over the oldest thing in womankind - a boy. For those of you who do not know Jessica Simpson’s current “love of her life” - Tony Romo - once dated the former ‘American Idol’ winner Carrie Underwood. Naturally the relationship between the two did not last (hence Simpson is now in the picture) - but rumors say that the two still talk over the phone quite often.
Lindsay Lohan is once again using her blog to lash out at the people that really make her angry. This week it seems that her father is next to receive a verbal beating from the flailing actress/singer. She referred to Michael as a “public embarrassment” and a “bully”. So where is all this hurt and frustration coming from?
Michael was interviewed by E! where he was asked about what he thinks of Lohan’s relationship with her girlfriend Samantha Ronson. He told them point blank that Ronson is “using” his daughter.
