Miley Cyrus Wants Out

Miley plans to "take time off from music", stating that music isn't inspiring her as much as it should be. She was even quoted saying "I'm sick of quadruple threats who do everything when they should stick to one thing.", which comes as a shock, since Miley herself is classified as one of the biggest "quadruple threats". With her new movie "The Last Song" coming out in March 31st, and upcoming spot in the "Sex and the CIty" sequel, it would be expected that Cyrus was planning on sticking with acting. Honestly Miley, no matter what you choose to do, you're voice will still be annoying.

Lil Wayne In Jail

After a number of delays, Lil' Wayne was finally sentenced on Monday, and arrived at RIkers today(Tuesday), for his 2007 gun possession arrest; in which the rapper was caught with a .40-caliber semi-automatic gun, which was fully loaded.

Lil' Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., pleaded guilty in October to the charge that was laid on him back in '07, and since then has been anxiously waiting, as his sentencing dates were postponed twice in the past month; once for dental work on his thoroughly rotted teeth, and once due to a fire in the courthouse. The rapper is set to do one year behind bars at Rikers, but could get out in only eight months if he shows good behavior.

"Law is mind without reason. ...I'll return," the rapper tweeted after his sentencing. One thing is for sure, a lot of people will miss his energy and productivity while he's gone; but like every rapper that goes to jail, it's a guess we should expect a whole bunch of newly inspired material, and maybe a new man by the end of his term. Learn your lesson Weezy, because once you're there, you're never gonna wanna go back! It doesn't matter how hard you are Mr. Carter, jail is a place no man wants to be.

Ke$ha Knows She Sounds Like Sh**

With the former beef between Ke$ha and Paris Hilton already being known, the new female artist decided to mouth her opinion on someone more in her category, Britney Spears. The singer stated that as long as Britney continues to lip-sync shows, she'll be letting her fans down. Although it's probably true that fans aren't satisfied, many still believe the fairly new singer has no place starting with Brit, who has been around much longer, and has much more hits in her career.

Ke$ha was recently quoted by the Daily Record saying " I think that's bullsh*t. I don't think that's fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I would never do that to my fans." Although a true statement, there really isn't much to back Ke$ha in being taken seriously. Britney may lip-sync, but her claim to fame wasn't making music about being drunk in a club and getting fondled by multiple dudes. One statement made by the new artist was highly agreeable, though, when she said "When I am singing I may sound sh*t sometimes but at least you'll know I'm singing." Yes, agreeable indeed, but still, shut up Ke$ha. How about staying ON BEAT, babe???

Gorillaz Turn Down Katy Perry Collaboration

Katy Perry is known and loved widely for her wild party girl music hits, which are played at pretty much every bar and club around; but we now know of some people who she is not popular with; the Gorillaz.

The animated group recently turned down a proposed collaboration from the singer, simply because she is dating Russell Brand (LOL); which was claimed by bassist of the band, Murdoc Niccals. "Katy Perry...she's been after a guest spot for ages and I tried to turn her down. No, I couldn't work with the woman while she's got Russell Brand all over her." said Murdoc to BBC 6 Music. He continued to say that he "wouldn't invite anyone that I didn't admire", making it well known of his disapproval of the singer and her boy-toy.

It's excellent to know such a great band could find Russell Brand as annoying as the rest of us do. Sorry Katy.

Akon - Bollywood, Here I Come!

shahrukh-khan

The king of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan is said to have met Akon, the “Sorry Blame It On Me” singer in Los Angeles and discussed about Western and Indian music.Both of the director and the king wanted an international singer to make an appearance in the movie, and guess who suggested Akon? – Shahrukh Khan!

Akon who will be singing a song for Shahrukh Khan’s new movie “Ra.One”, is reportedly to be one of the casts in that movie. This science fiction superhero film is written by David Benullo, who previously worked on Shadow Man, and directed by Anubhav Sinha. Other Filmfare winners such as Kareena Kapoor as well as Vivek Oberoi are said to be acting alongside with the king of Bollywood.

In the film, Shahrukh Khan acts as Shekhar, a Miami software engineer. Among other locations for this film shooting is Miami where the king’s wife is the producer. Some resources said that Akon was signed for a huge amount of money.

Rajan Zed, the Indo-American statesman welcomes Hollywood’s and Bollywood’s music collaboration. Akon who has made about 300 or more guest appearances has 40 hits in Billboard Hot 100 songs in his 14 years of career. He may be tough on music, but what about acting? Regardless of what the story is, Akon should not appear beside Shahrukh Khan in the movie because Shahrukh’s talent will be so overwhelming that Akon will feel so small beside him. And he might hit the club with Kareena Kapoor, if he is lucky.

Mariah Carey Late for Tour Finale

Mariah Carey is a diva. I’m sure you knew that though. February 27, the last night of her tour she just made it to the arena in time to perform. The reason? She had to have a doctor examine her vocal chords to make sure she was okay to perform. On the surface, that sounds like a legitimate excuse, but why wait until just hours before your performance to get something like that check out? Wouldn’t that be something you would notice when you wake up in the morning?

mariah

She has a history of being late though. In 2005 she showed up 90 minutes late to an award ceremony because of a broken finger nail. In January of 2010 she showed up 1 hour 35 minutes, supposedly because of an accident, to her show at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. So it makes you wonder if she really needed to have her throat checked or if she just needed an excuse.

Carey does put on a great performance, and does have a great voice (apparently good enough to not need sound checks, or is it just full bands that require those?) but she’s not a performer for the fans. She did stay in the car once she arrived at the arena, so as to not upstage her opening act: Ciara, but do fans really wait outside for a performer to arrive once the show starts? Weird. If only her excuses were as good as her voice.

John Mayer is Sorry

Along with his "Tweeted" apology, John Mayer publicly admitted to his fans at a sold-out Madison Square Garden show that his use of the “N-word” made him come off as an “asshole,” according to an MTV News report.

“I hate to come off like an asshole ever, and thank you guys for believing I am not an asshole,” Mayer told the audience.

johnmayer

The singer-songwriter felt the need to issue the public apology after using the offensive term during an interview for Playboy Magazine. According to the article published in the magazine and online, Mayer said, “Someone asked me the other day, ‘What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?’ And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n***** pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass?”

Mayer also claimed that he has never dated a black woman before because his “dick” does not let him. He says that he loves African-American women, but his genitalia has a mind of its own, and this mind is a racist one.

Mayer was lambasted because white people can never use the “N-word.” Period.

Mayer eventually explained that he was trying to prove that he could not use the word, and in doing this he proved his point by using it.

He apparently never watched Chris Rock’s HBO special explaining that the only time a white person could use the word is if it is 3 a.m. on Christmas morning, you were just robbed of all your presents and beaten by a black man on your way home to your family. Rock then explained that even then it’s not really O.K.

And although Mayer said the word, and MTV News reported that people were outraged, there did not seem to be even one article online that cited an African-American being offended. No remarks from the NAACP. No urge from Al Sharpton to burn his albums. No picketing his concert from the 2007 Rutger’s Womens’ Basketball team — the victims of the Don Imus “nappy-headed hoes” description. When it all comes down to it, no one seemed very outraged about the remark. It's either that no one really cares about John Mayer or no one ever reads Playboys.

Jennifer Lopez Leaves Sony

jennifer-lopez-leaves-sony

Throughout her years as a celebrity, Jennifer Lopez has went through many physical and musical changes. A lot of people still view her as Jenny from the block, but that has changed. Jennifer Lopez has announced she is leaving Sony Music / Epic Records, and she will be releasing her 7th studio album, Love?, later than the expected April date, with another label. Along with her new album, there will be an expected greatest hits album released this fall. A statement was released by Jennifer's manager, Benny Medina, stating that the musician/actress is only making a decision that will better suit her needs and career choices. Jennifer has said her album has "found a new home" and it is to be released in summer of this year. It has been stated that J.Lo might be considering signing with Island Def Jam Records, after being seen talking to the record companies leader, L.A. Reid, but this has not been confirmed. Although she has been on semi-hiatus since her pregnancy in these past few years, Jennifer doesn't plan on stopping her career in the entertainment industry anytime soon. Hopefully all of her longtime fans will remain after her new decision.

Ambitious Man of the Year

He's about to go to prison for felony gun possession, but he still has money on his mind. Lil' Wayne has planned to make 7 videos in one night, including one for 'Runnin', from the Rebirth album, and one for up and coming artist Drake's song, called 'Afrika Boombatta'. You would think someone of such a celebrity status would be concerned about doing some jail time, but not this tatted up gangster.

Lil Wayne

The rapper, whose prison sentencing has been postponed until March 2nd, boasted on the fact that he's done 10 videos before in only 2 days. If it's so easy to do so much work then why is it so hard to own a legal gun? Along with his music videos, Wayne has been making and releasing videos on his upcoming jail experience at New York's Rikers Island, and the process before it, along with a Twitter. Hopefully he can learn from this mistake and we can be blessed with his new videos and upcoming hits. His recent dental surgery for multiple route canal procedures should also teach him that cocaine is bad, along with that syrup in his styrofoam cup. Stick with the blunts, Wayne; you'll still maintain your unique creativity.

U2 Highest Paid in 2009

As a band that is known in most households, it's no big surprise that U2 has been named highest paid band in the music industry for 2009. At the top of Billboard Magazine's 2010 money making list, they raked in a nice amount of more than $108 million last year. Placing second is Bruce Springsteen with $57 million, still being beat by more than a whopping $50 million.

u2-2

If you think it wasn't a surprise to us as listeners, imagine how used to this the band must be. The Irish group has been a top popular band since their big stardom with their debut album, Boy, in the early 80's, and in recent years have been tearing up the world with massive tours. This has been shown in the legendary groups taking of the top title for highest grossing tour in 2009; during which they made about $123 million, which made up for some lacking of record sales for their latest album, No Line on the Horizon. It'd be expected, though, of a band widely appreciated around the world for not only it's music, but the things they have done to help everyone, to be named the highest paid. Fans of the band range from all ages and backgrounds, and they all have varying reasons for loving the band, so there's no wonder about how they came across so many attendees, even during a world recession. The tour that basically put them on top, the U2 360 Tour, which gives concert goers a full 360 degree view of the band performing, hasn't even finished yet, with more than 80 shows total in both North America and Europe.

edge-u2

The tour is separated into four legs, which consist of two legs for each continent. This gigantic tour is scheduled to end in October of this year, which will probably put them back as top contender, or winner of the highest paid band at the end of the year. Along with being named highest paid, they have also been named as a top influential band of the decade by Rolling Stone magazine, and their 2009 tour was the second highest grossing concert in the decade, trailing the Rolling Stones. The people will continue to support U2 as long as they continue to support the people, for example, working to help human rights, as well as many other causes. Many wish to follow in the footsteps of such down to earth, generous musicians, which adds to all the rave of supporting them. There's no doubt that they are talented people, but when you're doing helpful things they do, plus putting out music that people enjoy and look to for comfort, then will you only reach ultimate success. One can only hope they continue to do so for a long time, but we can know that their music will be around forever, truly impacting the music industry and world. From what is shown in U2's history, the music industry hasn't yet gotten the best of them, but once again, only something that time can tell.
