It’s extremely hard and close to unfathomable to speak of a music album as of an “instant classic” when it’s not even out in stores, yet this is precisely what’s happening with Adam Lambert’s debut material “For Your Entertainment.” Due out on November 23, Lambert’s first studio album is a wonderful collection of intoxicating tracks oscillating from insane electropop / disco / rock to powerful, emotion-laden ballads hailing the arrival of the next glam rock idol. Very high hopes were pinned on Lambert and this was even before he finished off last season of American Idol – and surpr...

Watched by millions of viewers for each episode, the show itself represents a stepping stone in television history – but that chapter will close in September 2011, when the next season comes to an end, as the Los Angeles Times reports. Oprah is expected to make the announcement on the upcoming episode of the show. The reason for ending the hugely popular syndicated show seems to be that Oprah has serious plans of starting her own network, which will carry another...

Not only has the famed director invested over $500 million in the film, but he also got one of the biggest artists of the moment, Leona Lewis, to contribute a song on the soundtrack, as MTV UK reports. This is not just a regular track though, as Leona has recorded the theme song nonetheless, with industry insiders saying that her “I See You” stands great chances of becoming what Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” was for “...

Admittedly, this one pop star is the most shameless exhibitionist in showbiz at the moment, and the just-released video for “Bad Romance,” directed by Francis Lawrence, shows precisely how this came to be. Lawrence, as fans must know, worked in the past with such artists as Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Shakira, and Gwen Stefani, but, from the very first seconds into the Gaga video, it becomes obvious that this is truly something the world hasn’t seen yet. Critics agree that, while Gaga is not actually b...

Lead singer Steven Tyler has quit his position as frontman, without as much as saying whether he’ll ever be back, guitarist Joe Perry says in a recent interview cited by ContactMusic.Reports about Aerosmith going on a hiatus of sorts have been making the rounds for many months now, especially in light of an entire year filled with cancelations, postponements and injuries. In August this year, Tyler broke his shoulder and it is then that things started to go ...

Hours later, Jon also did a series of interviews, saying he supported Glassman in everything she did. Of course he supported her, an insider tells Fox411, since he was the one who orchestrated the entire “scandal” in the first place.According to a well-informed source who chooses to go by unnamed, Jon Gosselin came up with the idea of Hailey doing the so-called “tell-all” interview, in which she&... [read more >>] Not long ago, as he was confirming that his current girlfriend, Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, was pregnant, Mel Gibson joked about the media being able from then on to call him OctoDad, after the model of Nadya Suleman, the OctoMom. Now that Oksana has given birth to the couple’s first child but Mel’s eight, many already feel entitled to call him that, as the New York Daily News says. Mel and Oksana had been an item even before he announced plans to separate from his wife of many years. Shortly after the divorce announcement was made, speculation started circulating that the singer, whom Mel met when he signed her on to hi...

However, as it becomes clear just minutes within the film, there is nothing that could make our own videos even closely similar to this faux-documentary. The prevailing sense of dread, made only worse by the fact that it’s hidden under heavy layers of normalcy and perhaps even, to some extent, ridiculousness, would be just one thing that works to make “Paranormal Activity” not only the scariest movie of the year, but also one of the best of its kind since... [read more >>] Earlier this year, Disney announced it was working on the first long feature, animated film featuring a black female character, “The Princess and the Frog,” a move received with applause by the mainstream audience. All chaos broke loose just weeks after the announcement, as the first photo from the film seemed to show the prince – meaning, the black princess’ love interest – was white, as we also reported at the time. This was when author Monroe S. Tarver thought he couldn’t go forward with his plans of coming out with a fantasy story that also featured a black female character, his publisher tells Soft...

Yet, 2009 also brings a surprise, as “Saw VI” has actually managed to move a step forward, as impossible as that might sound. Critics agree it... [read more >>] |
