Amy Winehouse Dies
23 July, 2011 4:25 PM
OMG! Really, really sad news for the music world. Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London home. The 27 y/o singer now joins the 27 Club, along with Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain, all musicians that parted way too soon. In her short carrer, Amy recived 23 awards, including 5 Grammys and 1 Brit Award, most of them for the critically acclaimed album "Back to Black". While she battled with substance abuse through her life, she still managed to get into rehab several times, unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save her. I'll miss her incredible and unique style greatly and hope that eventually, her third album comes to light. RIP Amy. You'll be missed.

Ellie's new single, "The Writer", is finally available on iTunes! A music video (which you can see HERE) for the song was released on July 11, but it wasn't until August 9 that the song was released! Ellie looks really gorgeous in this cover, as she does in all, though I wouldn't have choosen that green, maybe a red or something, but it's really cool still. The song was released along with some remixes of it and an acoustic version.

Jill Scott is sued by her label
05 February, 2010 3:15 PM
Jill Scott is being sued by her record label, Hidden Beach, which is accusing her of skipping out halfway through a six-album contract and potentially owing millions of dollars in damages.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by Hidden Beach Records on February 3, claims that the label and its founder, Steve McKeever, helped launch Scott's career and turned her into a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter. "Hidden Beach is shocked by her decision not only because Scott has apparently chosen to leave the Hidden Beach family," the complaint reads, "but also because Scott is contractually required to deliver three more albums to Hidden Beach."

Susan Boyle + Mop? + Oprah's Show
4:35 PM
It seems that dealing with fame is a bit too much for british sensation Susan Boyle. Apparently she stunned passengers in a VIP lounge at London's Heathrow Airport after she started shouting swear words and singing into a mop, The Sun reported Friday. The singer suddenly grabbed the mop from a cleaner and began to treat it as a makeshift microphone as she suffered another public meltdown on Tuesday. During her performance, which sparked complaints to British Airways (BA) staff, she also used the mop to polish passengers' shoes. Airline employees tried to calm her down only for Boyle, to flee the Terminal 5 lounge, yelling, "I've escaped, I've escaped!" A source said: "It was chaos. Susan was very restless and agitated from the minute she walked in and immediately started making a scene. She was singing and dancing around, shouting obscenities at full volume." Her rampage was finally ended by a BA official, who sat with the Scottish spinster until she boarded her flight to Chicago. British Airways confirmed, "A customer in the BA lounge on Tuesday was asked to temper their behavior as it was becoming disruptive." She was flying to the U.S. to be a guest on the Oprah Winfrey show. Was this incident a crisis or was she only showing her personality?

Lambert won't apologize for his shock ing performance on ABC Sunday night and says he's being singled out because he's gay. 'I admit I did get carried away, but I don't see anything wrong with it', he said yesterday on CBS' 'The Early Show'. 'I'm not a babysitter. I'm a performer . . . I think it's because I'm a gay male'.
ABC, which received over 1,500 complaints, canceled Lambert's scheduled appearance on 'Good Morning America'. 'I do see how people got offended and that was not my intention. My intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time with it. If it had been a female pop performer doing [those] moves that were on the stage, I don't think there would be nearly as much of an outrage' he said.
