New Britney Teaser

Check out this new Britney teaser for her guest role on 'How I Met Your Mother'.

Step Up 2: The Streets Review

Step Up 2: The Streets, is a great movie filled with some amazing music and dancers. Not as good as the first but still holds its own! My only complaint about the film was the last 3 minutes in which they tried to slap as much cheese as possible into this music/dance/drama/romance film! I think you guys should def check it out! RATING: 2.5/5

The journey ends for Amanda Overmyer

This weeks American Idol castoff is Amanda Overmyer. I'm not sure this was the right choice I thought the Rocker had mad vocals, her top 12 week studio recording of 'You Can't Do That' could be a hit today in my opinion. I'm sure we will be seeing more of Amanda in the future! 

First pics of Jennifer Lopez's Twins

People magazine have just showed the first pics of Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony's twins, Emme & Max, on the front cover of their latest issue. 

Madonna debuts at #2 on Amazon!

Madonna's 'Life Can't Wait' Sunsilk commercial!

Below is the video for Madonna's Sunsilk ad currently showing in the UK! The commercial titled 'Life Can't Wait' has the music to her new single '4 Minutes' in the background along with images throughout Madge's ever-changing career. It's starting to look like Madonna will be on heavy promotion for this album. Reminds me a bit of Miss Janet a month ago =)! What do you think of the ad?

Introducing ....

Introducing . . . . Swedish pop/dance act 'Lucky Twice'. The group have been around in their native for about 3 years now. Their debut single 'Lucky' is one of the most catchiest songs around. Due to label problems the girls single failed to reach the UK charts, which is a shame as I believe they would have done very well there. Since their single has taken over European countries they have been flooded with offers of work including America's own Britney Spears, who they declined to work with as they didn't want to be associated with her problems. Since their fame they have spoken out and offered their musical talents to none other than Victoria Beckham. They are major Posh fans and would love to help her with a musical comeback! LOL I think they should just stick to their own music but their debut album 'Young And Clever' is still awaiting release. Check out their video for 'Lucky'.


Madonna releases 'Hard Candy' early on Vodafone

Material Girl Madonna and Warner Music has announced today that 250 million Vodafone customers will have access to material off her new album 'Hard Candy' before it's official release date of April 28th.

This includes UK, Germany, Portugal and more countries to be announced. Her new single '4 Minutes' was released last week in the U.K via Sunsilk Shampoo adverts! Hmmmm ...

Danity Kane Releases 'Welcome To The Dollhouse'

Danity Kane (of MTV's Making The Band fame) release their new album 'Welcome To The Dollhouse' this week. The girls second effort is made up of more pop-ready hits than their previous effort. Their first single 'Damaged', which now has an annoying Diddy interlude, gave their album a boost this week with their new video. The song is catchy and the vocals are great. 'Welcome To The Dollhouse' is our album of the month and is in stores now!
