Britney Spears Updates

Although reports had been suggesting that Ms Spears would be 'How I Met Your Mother' it seems in a Diva-Like-Turn Brit Brit has decided to hold off signing an dotted line until she sees the script. US is reporting that nothing is confirmed and no decisions have been made until the pop tartlet sees a script she likes.

Hmmm interesting I don't think she's in a position to be too picky? 

In other news Brit has been busy training with a vocal coach and been going hard in the gym with mum Lyn. Although those close to Brit say she's not planning on touring just yet it's just to keep her busy! It was also reported this week that Britney's next single 'Radar' one of the better songs on 'Blackout' in my opinion is to be directed by the star in her 'own' music video. The song will be released in July.

Kanye West Now A 'Single Man'

Kayne West and finance Alexis Phifer have split.  Phifer confirmed to People the golden couple had gone their separate ways "It's always sad when things like this end ... we remain friends" she said.

Although there has been no word from Kanye's reps, what more do you need? I'm sure the egotistical West is finding it hard!

Jordin Sparks Silenced

Current American Idol Jordin Sparks April touring dates have all been cancelled for the 'No Air' singer due to her voice needing some rest.  The 18 year old is currently under doctors care. Sparks is expected to join Alicia Keys & Ne-Yo on tour during the start of May.

Overlook Entertainment manager Miguel Melendez said to Billboard Biz that the "long-awaited" Diva-In-The-Making's album is set to drop "September 30th via Arista." With Clive Davis's rank shuffle this week let's hope some of his vision is kept on the Dreamgirls Starlet's album.

Idol Does Lloyd Webber

With 3 girls and 3 guys left, this weeks American Idol mentor is musical theatre legend Andrew Lloyd Webber. The mastermind behind "Evita", "The Phantom Of The Opera", "Cats" and many many more.

Sandra Bullock & Hubby In Car Crash

American actress Sandra Bullock and husband Jesse James were hit by a truck driver in Massachusetts on Friday afternoon.

Prison Break Extended For Forth Season

Currently on hiatus due to the writers strike Prison Break has been given a greenlight for a forth season. The current season (3) has halted at episode 13 and is set to continue it's 22 episode season run in September in the U.S. With the forth season to begin in November of this year. 

I'm highly surprised by this as creator Paul Scheuring previously stated that in no way shape or form the the series have enough bite and storylines to continue past the third season. I think season 3 has taken a while to get off the ground. No word yet on the storlines or main plot. I'm assuming the forth season will be still getting out of Panama or even worse a whole new scenario for the Prison Break lads.

"I Didn't really want to make it public, while I was going through it. I didn't want the paps at the hospital" she told GMA. She also admitted she was "scared".

Leona Lewis To Break Records?

U.K's  'Better In Time' singer Leona Lewis is set to break a record this week. If her debut album 'Spirit' reaches number 1 on the billboard albums chart she will be the first British female artist to ever debut an album at the number 1 spot in US charts. Producers Clive Davis and Simon Cowell will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Estelle's new single 'American Boy' featuring rapper Kanye West off her album 'Shine' is for the third week in a row the number one single. Duffy's debut album 'Rockferry' has again reached the number one album spot. The interesting point here is that Estelle spoke out against Duffy saying "You can't tell me that you can redefine soul music as Duffy and Adele because I didn't grow up (with it) and I don't identify with it". Duffy recently responded with MTV UK saying "I don't wanna stand as a definition of soul music and I don't think I ever will but there is influence of that in my music". Congrats to both, I felt they both deserve success.
