Ke$ha has had to cancel a recent concert in Mexico due to commitments surround the re-release of her chart-topping debut album ‘Animal‘. While explaining the reason for the cancelled concert, Ke$ha revealed that her re-release will bear the awesome and strangely appropriate title of ‘Cannibal‘.
The album is currently scheduled for release in mid-November, which means that the lead single can’t be too far off. Production on the disc is being handled by the same team behind ‘Animal’ — Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco and DJ Ammo — as well as hip-hop hitmaker Bangladesh. Between 5-8 new songs are expected to appear on ‘Cannibal’.
Since its release in January, ‘Animal‘ has topped the Billboard charts, been certified Platinum and sold over 2 million copies worldwide. It’s also spawned four consecutive top ten hits, all of which have been certified Platinum or multi-Platinum.
If the stars align, Justin Bieber might be tapped to sing ‘America The Beautiful’ at WrestleMania 27 on April 3, 2011 in Atlanta…which would put him in a league of performers like Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles!
Justin Bieber might not want to get in the ring with spandex wearing hunks like Randy Orton, The Miz and John Cena, but the 16-year old star’s singing pipes might get him in their grasps regardless. WrestleMania — the annual Super Bowl of wrestling — returns for its 27th incarnation in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA in 2011 and a consistent fixture is to start off the festivities with a rousing rendition of America The Beautiful!
An insider tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that WWE is trying to get younger viewers and that they’re out to get the Biebs on board.
“It is so perfect! To have Justin perform in front of 70,000 plus people would just be amazing! It is so perfect”, our source says. “It’s still a work in progress but it would be a lot of fun.”
We totally agree, and if Justin wanted to add to his fun night, he could easily ask his friend Kim Kardashian how to handle things backstage with the fellow wrestlers — she was the official host of WrestleMania 24 back in 2008!
Miley Cyrus' new single, "Who Owns My Heart," may question who the pop star's latest boy toy is but the video certainly declares that the teen singer is embracing a sexier persona. However, some believe the 17-year-old singer's racy image is damaging to her legions of young fans.
In the clip, a scantily-clad Cyrus gets dolled up in her room and shows a lot of leg while grooving in the backseat of a car on her way to a rager at a mansion. The teen starlet then spends most of the video dancing in tiny shorts, a revealing halter, big hair and heels and partying until the wee hours.
Tim Winter, who serves as president of the Parents Television Council, told TMZ that the "Hannah Montana" star's sexed-up clip relays the wrong message to her teen following.
"It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one," Winter said. "It sends messages to her fanbase that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point. Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fanbase so rapidly."
This isn't the first time the Disney star has faced controversy in her attempts to break away from her squeaky-clean, teen idol status. Her pole-dancing move at the at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards grabbed headlines and her latest LP, Can't Be Tamed, features a much more vampy persona than her "Hannah Montana" alter ego.
"I'm a completely different person [than when I released 2008's Breakout]. I'm much more confident. You know, I've always been a confident person, but I was going through a lot then," Cyrus told MTV News in June. "There's so many people in your life telling you who you should and shouldn't be," Cyrus said. "And that's what Tamed [is] about. It's about being who you are to the fullest. And now I know who that is."
The group has also recently slammed the Britney/Brittany "Glee" episode.
Justin Bieber won HOTTEST HOTTIE at the Kids' Choice Awards Australia. He's launching his own nail polish line in December exclusively at Wal-Mart. Justin collaborated with Nicole on a line of beautiful colors for tween girls called 'One Less Lonely Girl.' Do YOU think think that Justin should release products like this or stick to music?
While he’s still heating up the charts with his singles “Bottoms Up” and “Can’t Be Friends,” Trey Songz has mapped out his next moves.
The ladies’ man tells Rap-Up.com that the Drake-assisted “Unusual” and steamy “Love Faces” will be released simultaneously as the third singles from his fourth album Passion, Pain & Pleasure. “We’ll be working those at the same time,” he reveals.
He also hints at a surprise collaboration in the works. “I got a big surprise coming up for a record I’m about to do that should be a great collaborative effort. I can’t say who all is gonna be on it, but it’s gonna be a great record.”
As for his “Bottoms Up” collaborator Nicki Minaj, Trey hopes to work with her again, possibly for her debut Pink Friday. “I would love to. I think she’s as talented as they come and to work with her again would be a delight,” he says. “I know she’s still working on her album and I’ve extended my hand, and if there’s any place she feels me to be fit, I’ll be there.”
In the meantime, Trey is gearing up to hit the road with Usher on his “OMG Tour” in November and has recorded a duet for Monica’s single “Here I Am.”
