Taylor Momsen recently talked to Interview magazine where she talked about her makeup and being labeled the junior Courtney Love. The former ‘Gossip Girl’ actress turned Pretty Reckless singer said on whether she minds the comparison with the Hole rock star “No, because she’s awesome. She just isn’t one of my idols or direct influences, despite what people think. The public decided that for themselves, but I’m not going to complain, because she is great.” As for her makeup, she said “I have a bounty of products. Bedhead’s black eyeliner is really good—it lasts a long time—but the only thing is you can’t smear it, so I have smudge black eyeshadow around it. Also, lately I have been using red eye makeup!”
Taylor Momsen has been confirmed as the new face for John Galliano’s new scent, which is due to come out this fall. The 16-year old former ‘Gossip Girl’ actress turned rock singer was recently revealed as the new spokesperson for Material Girl, the upcoming fashion line from Madonna and her daughter Lourdes Leon. Back in January, Taylor also hosted the launch of the Love Rocks fragrance by Victoria’s Secret Beauty. Considering how badly she dresses and styles herself, I’m surprised at all the fashion ads and deals that she’s got lined up. Are people really that blind to the image that Taylor has?
Believe it or not, even pop stars were humans once… and like all humans, they had problems with money and all of life’s other crap. Take Katy Perry for instance: she recently related how, before becoming famous, she barely had enough money to pay rent. This is what she said on the matter: “I have really gone through an emotional rollercoaster, real hell, you know, I was so broke, I couldn’t even pay the rent at the end of the month. So I am glad I was strong enough to hang in there.” And now look at her: marrying Russell Brand and singing pop and whatnot. It sure is nice that the dung fate tried to throw at Katy Perry missed her… and probably hit somebody else.
Or at least about as serious as a relationship like that can get… it looks like “OK Magazine” recently released a bit of very intriguing information about Avril Lavigne. This is what they had: “Avril put a group of 15 friends on notice that she & Brody want to tie the knot on Vegas in August or September.” Ah, Las Vegas… the land of so many drunken mistakes, one must wonder if Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner go over there and do this sober will it count any less. Oh well, they’re young, they deserve their fun and when it ends the paparazzi will get theirs.
Even though the producer told the story differently a little while back, Kelly Clarkson recently came in and explained that she will not be working with Ryan Tedder on her upcoming album. She did however have this to say about the record: “I’ve been working in the studio a lot for this next album & can’t wait for y’all to hear it! New favorite is You’re The Only One For Me.” It seems that somebody still has a few things to settle… or maybe not settle since Kelly Clarkson seems to try to point out how good her record will be without Ryan Tedder.
In a recent interview, Avril Lavigne who has “FUCK” tattooed over her ribs recently spoke about the prospects of getting new tattoos and here’s what she said: “I want to get a big-ass-motherfucking tattoo on my forearm. I’m going to wait a few years and make sure I still want it then. I have to wait for that special someone to come back into my life. I want to do a big-ass heart with a flag through it with a name. I want it to be a huge experience and statement.” Really? A guy that made her tattoo “FUCK” on herself isn’t special enough? Avril Lavigne needs more? God All Mighty protect her from what she may consider getting as a tattoo then…
Johnny Depp is apparently going to fulfill his dreams of rock stardom this summer by going on tour with the British band Babybird as their guitarist. The group was originally hesitant to have the actor on board because of his celebrity status but sources are now confirming that two former members of the special armed forces will be present to make sure that no crazy fandom will ensue. I wonder if Johnny can keep up with the rock stars. He will start playing gigs and festivals with the band in June and will stay with them throughout the month and until July.
It looks like everybody’s beginning to take their work very seriously these days. After getting slimed at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, Katy Perry perhaps considered it might be a good time to speak about her upcoming album. This is what she said on the matter: “It’s what I said I wanted earlier. We nailed it: It’s roller-skating! It’s ’90s! It’s Ace of Base! It’s Cyndi Lauper! It’s like all these colors and more. There might be some really cool guest appearances by some cool rappers from the West Coast. I mean, you’ll just have to see, since I’m a California girl, you know. And then some best friends might be appearing. … We’ll see! It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be one of those records that is everybody’s favorite guilty pleasure.” Interesting mold Katy Perry is thinking of concocting there… hopefully it won’t all blow up in her face. Or if it does, at least let it lead to something good.
Joe Simpson, father of Jessica Simpson, apparently had a little chat with John Mayer who’s been saying a lot of not so cool stuff about a few people. Apparently, Jessica Simpson’s dad told John Mayer that he might want to revisit some of his previous statements… before they come back and bite him here and there. This is what a source related on the matter: “The conversation was pretty one-sided. Joe told John that he best not even think of uttering Jessica’s name again. Joe told John to stay away from his family and man-up and apologize for his comments.” And just when John Mayer was beginning to have fun…. leave it to the grown-ups to ruin everything. Oh well, there will always be twitter for John Mayer to play with.
It seems that John Mayer can no longer handle his showbiz persona especially after his recent Playboy interview. The singer apparently broke-down on stage last night because of it. He apologized to his band mates and the crowd though: “I quit the media game. I’m out. I’m done. I just want to play my guitar. I fell into a wormhole of selfishness, greediness and arrogance. In the quest to be clever, forgot about the people who love me and that I love.” What could’ve happened to the poor boy? Did Jennifer Aniston call to tell him he was a bad man? Certainly nothing John Mayer hasn’t heard before. Or maybe his racist comments in the interview might be catching up with him legally and he wants some form of redemption.
The singer recently admitted to her fiancée that she too wants a Grammy, especially since Russell Brand didn’t have the most elegant of words about the event. This is what Katy Perry’s future husband said about the Grammys: “Grammys. I know why it’s called that. That’s how much coke you need to cope with it.” Of course Katy Perry took the opportunity to express her desire for one of the fabled prizes. However, Russell Brand’s words were not in vain as Katy Perry unfortunately was not on the winners list this year. Oh well, as they say: better luck next time!
The singer whose popularity with the ladies is out of this world, or so he seems to believe, recently admitted that he is not over his former girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston. This is what John Mayer said on the matter: “I’ve never really gotten over it. It was one of the worst times of my life. I have this weird feeling, a pride thing, for the people I’ve had relationships with. What would I be saying to Jen, who I think is fucking fantastic, if I said to her, ‘I don’t dislike you. In fact, I extremely like you. But I have to back out of this because it doesn’t arc over the horizon. This is not where I see myself for the rest of my life, this is not my ideal destiny.’” Oh, such big words for a guy who lost his girlfriend because he was spending too much time with his computer instead of her. But hey, maybe that’ the destiny John Mayer had planned for himself all along.
At the next edition of the Grammy Awards, Michael Jackson will perform once more through the miracles of technology… and he will be joined by artists such as Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Usher and so on. The miracle is possible through a 3-D video of Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song” which would have also appeared at his London shows. This is what Ken Erhlich, co-execute producer of the Grammys, said on the matter: “It was one of the most important portions of the concert tour to Michael, and when Michael saw the film for the first time at his last rehearsal, there were tears in his eyes.” Well, this is one way to draw more crowds for the Grammys this year, isn’t it? And wasn’t this sort of tribute to Michael Jackson done before? And if not… how come?
The singer is getting ready to release his new concept album and he got one of his idols to do some of the vocals: Stephen King. It seems that Shooter Jennings and Stephen King have been big fans of each other’s but have never actually met, as Shooter Jennings explained when relating how they started their new collaboration: “‘To this day I’ve never met or spoken to Mr. King, Someone who had business contacts with him put us in touch and I presented my ideas to him.” Well, well, it seems people still can get along. Now that’s the way to make a good release… many would have a bit to learn from Shooter Jennings.
Pete Doherty was arrested earlier this week and it has now been revealed that the singer is being charged with heroin possession. The Babyshambles rock star was arrested quickly after appearing in court for other charges and he will be heading back to court this coming January for the new ones. Pete could also be facing charges for an alleged hit and run that left a pedestrian in critical condition. As for the charges he faced earlier this week, Pete was fined £2,050 and banned from driving for 18 months after a guilty plea for drunk driving back in July after a concert. Will he ever learn?
The singer apparently got mixed-up in a little friendly tapping at a club while celebrating her sister’s birthday. This is what a source said about Lily Allen’s recent predicament: “Lily and her family had all got to Paradise to have a nice meal for Sarah’s birthday but there seemed to have been a mix up with the rooms. The group that were in there were apparently quite rowdy and worse for wear. Lily and her family were trying to ask them to move but once they saw Lily they got really mouthy. There was some pushing and shoving as they refused to move and someone called police.” It’s good the evening was just beginning… who knows what Lily Allen would’ve done to them if she had had a few drinks beforehand.
The singer who recently announced her break from the music scene is apparently looking into getting the place for her upcoming holiday. A source said the following about Lily Allen’s plans for changing home: “Lily’s had enough of London life. She may only be 24, but she’s done far more than most other girls her age in just a short space of time.” Yeah, it really is time for Lily Allen to settle down and retire, she’s already done all that she can do. The world is already a much better place because of her and now it’s time for a well-earned rest.
Poor little boy, he seems to be having nothing but trouble in that department these days. Recently, John Mayer had a very interesting tweet for his fans in regards to his lady issues: “I’ve got two women texting me they want to come over. What’s that, Modern Warfare 2? You understand me? Done. Night, ladies!” As the ancient philosophers say: what goes around, comes around… after John Mayer spent the bulk of his youth chasing after the famous women of our times, now it’s his turn to give a little something back seeing as now his name is also quite the bell ringer. Moreover, it appears even Lindsay Lohan has taken a shine to him, but she was probably just under the influence of some leftover holiday wine, especially when you read the message she sent him on tweeter: “@johncmayer shhhhhhhhhhhhhh butter-face .” John Mayer had better watch it with this one… there’s no telling what might happen.
The singer admitted that she was first in a great deal of denial regarding her brother Michael Jackson’s death, especially in the first few months. It was only when Janet Jackson performed at the MTV Video Music Awards where she saw a giant poster of her brother that it finally hit her, as she relates: “It hit me before I was about to do the performance, and it hit me when we were in rehearsal. There was a huge image of him on this screen, and I started to cry. I had to step away.” Better late than never, as some might say. It is good Janet Jackson is not in denial anyway or that she has not shifted to the dark side, as some other members of the Jackson clan.
Well, this is one way to skip the Thanksgiving dinner. It seems that Nick and Joe Jonas were seen at a golf course in Dublin exercising their putting abilities. And they left poor Kevin Jonas at home with all that turkey to eat while they enjoy the benefits of the traditional Scottish sport in that fairy-tale like country. That’s not very brotherly of them, now is it? He’ll probably get back at them at the next Jonas Brothers concert… or, even better, around the holidays, if they plan on being home at that time and not strolling around the green fields of Eire hitting small balls with crooked sticks.
.” John Mayer had better watch it with this one… there’s no telling what might happen.
