Ashlee Simpson has vowed never to go off the rails.
The singer - who recently announced her engagement to Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz - won’t follow in the footsteps of troubled stars Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan because she is in control of her life.
She said: “I don’t see myself ever following the path those girls take. I’m almost 24. I’m pretty together and I’m getting married. I wouldn’t ever let myself get that way and I don’t surround myself with yes-people. I think that’s the most important thing. People don’t control me or anything I do and I’ve never had that problem.”
Ashlee - whose older sister is pop singer Jessica - says her relationship with Pete helps keep her grounded. She added: “Pete is my support system. We definitely give honest opinions of each other. I love his music and he’s so supportive of everything I do.”
Meanwhile, Ashlee has revealed she loved working with producer Timbaland on her new single ‘Outta My Head (Ay Ay Ay)’.
She said: “It was so cool to work with Timbaland but it was important for the end result not to sound like one of his tracks. He really got me and who I am as a person, so the music still has this rock element going on, but with an 80s sound. I’d never worked with anyone who’d done beats. But I was like, ‘Ah, I really like this world.’ And who better to go to than Timbaland. It was random but a very cool collaboration.”
Do you still remember Josiah Leming? Here’s a refresher course for those who already forgot. He was the American Idol contestant who made it to Hollywood but didn’t get into the top 24. He also happens to be living in his car when the auditions were going on. What’s so special right? One record industry source is saying that Warner Bros. Records has offered the kid a deal. It just hasn’t been signed yet but they say it’s close. Here’s a kicker though. A prominent record industry honcho is saying that “With Warner as a label, he’ll be back in his car before he knows it. Everyone knows they are not good for his kind of music.”
A lot of people can barely stand to watch her over emote on screen. How much more when she over emotes in a song? Who would have thought the Keira Knightley sings anyway? But she does. The British actress is set to debut her vocal skills on the soundtrack to her new movie ‘The Edge of Love’. Keira will perform 3 songs on the album despite her own protestations that she isn’t a good singer. Keira says “I can’t really sing. I had to have a few lessons, but once I started doing it, a sound emerged that wasn’t too disagreeable.” So why did you do it?
Here’s another piece of American Idol news and this one may be a shocker. Season 1 contestant Nikki McKibbin was recently placed under psychiatric observation for 72 hours after suffering a severe breakdown in late February. According to a police report, Nikki called a friend and told her that she wanted to kill herself. Said friend then called the police who arrived to find Nikki with a number of pills in her hand. Nikki refused to cooperate with the police and reportedly tried to kick out the windows of the cop car. Her unraveling may be attributed to having released an album in 2007 to a lukewarm response and the sudden death of her mother last August. Times may be tough but suicide is never the answer.
Kid Rock has entered his plea to battery charges stemming from a fight at a Waffle House in Atlanta. The rap rocker, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, was not in court when his attorney entered the plea on his behalf. And his say – not guilty. Cops arrested Kid and five members of his posse last October on misdemeanor charges of simple battery. The group had gone to the eatery after a concert when the fight broke out. According to police reports, a customer at the Waffle House saw a woman in Kid Rock’s party and exchanged words with her, allegedly inciting Kid.
No it isn’t another pop star with a drug problem, it’s a career move apparently…
Sheryl Crow wants to go to rehab because she thinks it will be good for her career.
The 46-year-old singer - who has just released her sixth album ‘Detours’ - is desperate to duet with “hot” Amy Winehouse, who picked up five Grammy Awards last week while being treated for her drugs addiction. Speaking at an intimate show in London, she said: “I want to collaborate with Amy because she’s really hot and cool right now.
“I know one song ‘Rehab’ was very popular particularly because a lot of young people are in rehab as well. In fact I’m thinking about going. It looks like loads of fun and I know my career will benefit from it.”
O-k then. It seems that Miss Crow appears to have missed the point of rehab…
A lot of fans were disappointed with the news that the Spice Girls are cutting their reunion tour short. Choosing not to leave the fans up in the air with just a written statement, the girls chose to record a video message that apologizes to fans saying sorry for canceling their tour. Posh said “We have children. Kids need to go back to school and we’ve always said that our families are our priorities so we want to thank all of our fans. Sorry we haven’t got to see everybody. We had a great time.” So what’s Mel C’s excuse? She doesn’t have a kid.
If God had a sense of humor, I’m sure that Britney Spears’ next boyfriend would turn out to be Larry Birkhead. In Touch magazine actually has a quote from Dannielynn’s papa saying “I think Britney is sexy.” Is it Britney or her money that’s sexy?A source close to Larry also adds that “He’s trying hard to get fixed up with Britney. Larry has a thing for vulnerable blondes — and no one seems more vulnerable than Britney these days. Larry wants to find someone who already has kids so they can raise their families together, just like the Brady Bunch.”
Amy Winehouse has reportedly made a suicide pact with her husband. The singer is set to be questioned by the police over husband Blake Fielder-Civil’s charges of assault and allegedly perverting the course of justice. She could face prison if she gets linked to the conspiracy to clear Blake. If she gets parted from her husband by a lengthy jail sentence, Wino has reportedly vowed to kill herself.A witness on Blake’s case was said to have been offered £200,000 to change his story. Since Blake is not a wealthy man, the finger points to Amy. The office of the singer’s accountant was searched last week so police could review all her transactions.
Victoria Beckham is slowly building her name as a fashion icon but she has some really weird picks for the styles that she loves. She actually told the Mirror that she loves Amy Winehouse’s style! If it’s good enough for Chanel, it’s definitely good enough for Posh.
“She has a real sense of style that I just love. She’s very much a fashion icon and I adore what she wears. She’s so unique and original. I’ve never met her but I just love her music - I’ve always got it on at home with David and the children. She’s an amazing singer.”
Beyonce, the artist with too many slashes between job descriptions to mention, showed up in a green Zac Posen Resort at ‘Movies Rock: A Celebration of Music in Film’ which was held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday. And yes, she did her trademark pose of showing her armpits.
The noted singer and actress made a costume change into an Elie Saab dress some time during the show for her performance She performed a rousing rendition of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ from The Wizard of Oz.
The show will air on Friday, December 7 at 9PM ET/PT on CBS.
Don’t panic, football fans, I don’t mean on the pitch. No, Victoria Beckham has told hubby that he is banned from attending the first gig of the Spice Girls’ reunion gig because she is too nervous.
Awe. Poor David. And I bet he just couldn’t wait to be the ever supportive husband and watch the five girls in Vancouver, Canada as they kick off their hugely anticipated world tour.
Most husbands like to be supportive but David claims his wife is constantly changing her mind. “One minute Victoria is saying she wants me there and then it’s, ‘No, don’t come to the first show, as we’ll all be too nervous.’ But I think I’ll be at the show a couple of days later in San Jose and have the boys with me. And I know Victoria will ring me as soon as the first show ends. She says the rehearsals have gone amazingly well.”
Looks like she’s gonna need some cheese to go with that. Unfortunately, though, it appears she’ll be eating it alone.
Amy’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil was denied bond Friday. He is charged with assault and tampering with witnesses in connection with that charge. He’ll be spending Christmas and New Years alone in jail as he awaits his January 18 hearing. The judge has stated a probable early June date if it goes to trial.
Amy arrived at the courthouse around 10:40 a.m. and waiting in the courtroom for her husband to arrive. When he came in at 11 a.m., he smiled and winked at his wife, mouthing, “I love you.” She sat with his younger brother, his mother, and a “family friend”.
The judge agreed to hear arguments in his chambers after complaints of the “intense scrutiny from the press”. The proceedings lasted about an hour and a half. When they returned to the courtroom for the decision around 12:30, the judge announced that the request for bail was denied.
Fielder-Civil held his hand up to his ear like a phone and mouthed to Amy, “I’ll call you.” She responded by waving and blowing kisses.
She quickly left the courthouse and refused to comment to any members of the press.
Her husband as for bail, but the judge said, “No, no, no!”
The pop wreck that is known as Britney Spears was seen at Petco over the weekend. Seeing as her Thanksgiving plans are still unknown, a reporter took the liberty to ask her if she was going to take up Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus’ offer to join them on Turkey day.
Earlier this past week, In Touch reported that Billy Ray invited Britney to dinner with his family because his family cares and that Miley, who happens to be a big fan, wants to reach out to Brit.
As for her answer, Britney said yes. Can you just imagine the conversation at the table? But even though she confirmed attending, do consider her track record. Miley might as well start passing the yams already.
After having an ambulance show up at her home on Tuesday, Amy Winehouse went back to work on Wednesday. Amidst fears that she would cancel her show due to what’s been going on with her life lately, Wino pretty much showed that the show must go on.The singer performed at the NIA in Birmingham which was the first stop on her month-long UK tour. However, people are thinking that maybe she should have taken a break. The show was a disaster!
Concert goers say that Wino was terrible, obviously drunk and made rambling references to her husband. She cussed out and threatened fans which had a lot of them walking out.
Kevin Federline’s lawyer wants Britney Spears to pay some of her ex-husband’s legal expenses in their divorce case, court documents show. Attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said in an Aug. 26 declaration that Federline has ”no net income” after various expenses, and that his spousal support of $20,000 a month ends in November. Spears, meanwhile, brings in an average monthly income of $737,868. I think KFed had plenty of time to find ample employment; he should have been saving his money instead of partying with his friends. Instead of his attorney asking Britney to pay for his serves he should be telling KFed that instead of spending his money on partying he should be saving it. He is getting 20,000 a month that should cover his attorney fees. And a man who has wed her ex just to get the money later on can only do so much more to unearth the money that she has, he won’t be dignified enough to settle it calmly.
Britney Spears is being investigated by an animal charity after her dog was recently seen wearing a cast. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) arrived at Britney’s Los Angeles home on Saturday to ensure the animal is receiving adequate medical attention. She does not take care of herself or her sons, why would she take car of a dog. Brit is just trailer trash. She happens to have some money, but that does not clean you up. More than being investigated by animal rights activist or other groups she needs to be thoroughly checked by highly qualified medics for the mental stability and other problems that have plagued her for many months now but nothing seems to be happening on that front. Who ever is her manager or rep needs to take her in confidence and put her in a rehab. In the past 2-3months she been in the news so much but none for anything we’d like to associate her with, divorce, swimming pool scandal, not being able to take care of her kids due to which Kevin has filed for the custody of the kids and lots more. She is just news to print read and forget.
Britney Spears has beefed up security and signed up for the hardcore Israeli combat techniques Matt Damon uses in The Bourne Ultimatum after growing paranoid following a batch of crazed fan mail. I hate to inform Britney that Karate won’t help her career from flushing away like a fresh cookie…….this girl is a white trash train wreck with negative talent and withering sex appeal……. forget the self-defense, doesn’t she pay big guys thousands per month for just that? Rather stick to parental classes LOL! For me this lady is way above finished material and she is more scared of herself destructive possibilities rather than being scared of some person trying to hurt her. And this notion that she has (I don’t whether she has it or not) that there is someone that’s looking to harm her boys is ridiculous coz till is in custody of the boys she is their biggest enemy, at any point of time she will leaves the kids and walk into the pool.
According to concert-goers present at Hot 99.5’s Lil Black Dress Party at the Clarendon Ballroom in Arlington, Virginia, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are happily engaged.
After a 40-minute performance of Good Charlotte, front man Joel walked off the stage which then prompted DJ Kane to announce that he got engaged and gave a big congrats to the couple. Kane told People magazine that they found out about the engagement the morning of the event and that after he congratulated Joel, he was given a ‘thank you so much’ in reply.
It’s not that big of a surprise though as talk show host Regis Philbin leaked the new on-air on Thursday.
The Spice Girls just unveiled their cover art for their 2007 Greatest Hits Album. Sparkly!
The girls had something to say about it on their official website where they do most of their announcements perhaps to avoid any photographed cat fights and evil eyes towards each other.
In their statement, they expressed their excitement for the reveal of the cover and said that they were all involved with the design (really?) and are pleased with it. They also said that they are working on the album and have started planning for the tour.
They also gave a big Girl Power hug to Baby Spice who just had a baby boy.
As if we need another Naomi Campbell in the world. But for Foxy Brown, that happens to be the case. You would think that all the legal trouble she’s in would make her want to stay out of trouble, but no. Foxy channeled her inner Naomi and threw a tantrum at her neighbor.
She may not have a hit record in ages but she has a hit with her neighbor who she hit with a Blackberry. The victim was reportedly taken to Brooklyn Hospital after getting into a scuffle with Foxy. She was treated for almost losing some teeth, swelling of the lip and swelling of the right eye. The incident happened on July 30th. Foxy just turned herself in a few days ago.
Foxy was released on a $5,000 bail and charged with assault, menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon. She has another court date to make on September 26th.
It’s all about the money, Honey. This is the plain truth about Hollywood and nothing else should be out into words to unwind this fact, marriages happen for wealth and divorces take place to steal that money and put it into one’s bank account. it sort of makes me want to find Britney Spears and tell her all about what karma is, and then also ask her if she’s ever heard a little saying that goes “I TOLD YOU SO!” because if she hasn’t, I’d let her in on what it means and how it applies to her. Britney has been so successful and yet if she didn’t learn to protect her own interest and have a prenuptial agreement debarring Kevin from her riches then there is bigger laughing stock out there other than her. Definitely think Kevin is money motivated and Britney is crazy. So someone needs to intervene. I’m surprised Madonna hasn’t tried to adopt Sean and Jayden! Doesn’t she like to “save” babies? (By save I mean steal and call it saving.) I hope Kevin doesn’t get a dime of her money.
She may not have hit rock bottom yet, but Britney Spears is dangerously close to it. And Kevin Federline is very much aware of that which is why things are about to get much worse for Britney.
Sources say that KFed just hired a high-powered attorney in the form of Mark Vincent Kaplan. The said lawyer was spotted walking into Department 88 of Los Angeles Superior Court this past Wednesday carrying documents that may just be KFed’s request for primary physical custody of his two boys with the hot mess of a pop star.
If and when given that news, I have my bets on Brit handling it by taking a huge swig from a Tequila bottle while out partying with friends.
Hilary Duff seems to be one of the last celebrities that are still on a good path. She has her head on straight and isn’t wasting time with drunken scandals. She recently performed in Edmonton, Canada where she took the time out to volunteer at the local Hope Mission. She helped to serve food to the homeless and the needy. Hilary said that it was a priority and that she wanted to lend a hand. This seems to have other people mocking her for her big heart and good girl ways, which I really don’t understand. Anyone with a daughter would choose her as a role model over Hilton, Lohan and Richie. Hilary Duff isn’t a stranger to the things we all go through regularly; she just makes better choices on how she wants to deal with them. That is something that all of the rest of those young divas need to learn. People had speculated on whether or not Duff would be able to remain a good girl upon turning 18. She has successfully proven all of the critics and doubters wrong.
Eddie Murphy is beginning to look like the dead beat dad that he is. On Wednesday his ex and mother of his newest child, Melanie Brown announced that she will be taking Murphy to court to claim child support. Since their daughter Angel was born he has taken no interest and made no attempt to take care of his child. His new fiancée Tracey Edmonds is speaking out and saying that this whole situation has no effect on them as a couple. She is a total liar. She stated that it has “absolutely no impact” on their relationship. Well if that is the case then it is already an awful relationship. If the one you are involved with has children already then they are a part of your life whether you like it or not. Children come first and it astounds me that anyone would choose to be with someone who does not think so. Melanie Brown should thank her lucky stars that Murphy’s become someone else’s problem now. Eddie’s mistakes are up to him to fix, either that or the Judge.
Akon himself has nothing to do so the thought he might as well waste time producing an album for Paris. What is his interest, of course to cash in the publicity that Paris receives for clumsy acts that she needs to do for time to time to remain in the focus. Bet ya, once he signs her up now that Warner Brothers just dropped her from their label. The only question is, will Paris sign with Akon’s Konvict Muzik label. Given the fact that there aren’t a ton of people banging down her door to give her a deal, it looks like a pretty sweet setup for both parties. Yes, when both of them are literally empty handed or Paris surely it’s a win-win situation for both. Two empty minds with nothing can certainly some music that their dogs wouldn’t like to listen to. Wonder whose going to pay for the losses that the album would incur. Anyways there no one who can stop two fools mingling there are loads of them in Hollywood and these are just two examples.
What crap has got to her head that she is speaking such utter non-sense. British pop star Natasha Bedingfield blames Los Angeles’ poor public transport system for celebrities’ drunken driving woes. The singer spoke out on Tuesday just hours after Lindsay Lohan was arrested for drunk driving and drug possession after a car chase in Santa Monica - and two months after the actress was involved in a drunken car crash in L.A. Which transport system tells u to first get fully drunken and then run the cars on the roads of any city you live in. This is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. Which transport or police dept. tells u it’s a rule to have drugs in the car before you set out on a drive? Tell me which transport would these Hollywood celebs chose to move around. They can easily hire drivers to help escort them in every city they are in.
