Jonas Brothers Love Dancing

jonas-brothers-band.jpg

Little girls, back up! Judge Bruno Tonioli of Dancing with the Stars might love the Jonas Brothers even more than you.

The brotherly trio rocked out the show Tuesday night. Joe Jonas said, “They said it was the loudest audience they ever had. They had to tell people to calm down, which was cool.”

This was the boys’ first trip to the ballroom, but they said they are fans of the show. Kevin says, “I can see Dancing with the Stars in our future!”

Amy Winehouse goes Dutch in drugs haven

Amy Winehouse goes Dutch in drugs haven

Amy Winehouse has been offered more than $700,000 to perform in “the weirdest club in the world”.

That’s perfect for Amy - and it’s set in the drug-soaked heart of Rotterdam, too.

Tycoon Aryan Tieleman has confirmed to the Dutch press that the troubled star is close to signing the deal and performing at the opening night of his new Rotterdam nightclub, Watt. He said: “It is as good as certain.”

And when the Dutch say this place is weird, they’re not joking.

The club, which will open in September, will function using human power. A club source said: “The energy will come from urine and sweat from the visitors, and toilets will be flushed by rainwater.”

That sounds more like a festival than a nightclub to me.

The club worker added: “The club is set in the heart of the biggest drugs circuit in Holland. It is so out there that it might even shock Amy

Diddy’s Acting Gets High Marks

The artist sometimes known as Diddy, Sean Combs, is getting high marks for his acting in the ABC special ‘A Raisin in the Sun’. The New York Times reviewed the TV adaptation of the Broadway play saying “There are no mediocre performances here… That Mr. Combs makes his desires seem like more than empty materialism must come in some part from the fact that he has been hungry at the same table… The play’s most poignant speech is his, and he delivers it with all of the dignified vengeance it demands, showing us that one of the great advantages of money is the power it provides to tell the wrong people off… Mr. Combs commanding and fierce.” I guess his Hollywood aspirations aren’t that far off after all.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes See Celine Dion in Vegas

TomKat See Celine Dion in Vegas

Enjoying a two day visit to Las Vegas, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes finish up the trip by attending a Celine Dion concert at Caesar’s Palace.

Sources say the couple was very gracious and happily signed autographs for fans before the show. They then sat down to watch the two and a half hour show.

After the show, Tom and Katie went and spent some time meeting Celine. She said she was both excited and nervous about having them watch her performance.

Also that night, the couple enjoyed a romantic dinner at the SW Steakhouse at the Wynn. Another diner says they were holding hands and were “very lovey dovey”.

Thanks, but I’ve lost my appetite.

Wednesday night marked the christening of the new ‘Spice One’ Virgin Atlantic plane at Los Angeles International Airport. Naturally, the Spice Girls were there for a photo op. But a lot of people were in for a surprise when Emma ‘Baby Spice’ Bunton came out to join the rest of the girls on crutches. What happened to the baby? She got a booboo? Let’s just hope that her injury’s not too serious and wouldn’t impede her performance in any of their reunion tour dates. It’s a good thing she gets plenty of rest between shows.

The Spice Girls are getting ready to kick off a 17 night run in London this weekend. Wow!

Kylie Minogue is Nobel

Kylie Minogue is Nobel

When I hear the words Nobel Peace Prize Awards, I immediately envision a bunch of suits barely getting through a very boring and stuffy night. But that apparently isn’t the case when it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize. It can actually be quite the opposite.

On Tuesday evening, the hotness that can only be called Kylie Minogue gave the Nobel Peace concert spectacular in Oslo, Norway a jolt of electricity when she gave a very high-voltage performance. Well, that’s what usually happens when you put a hot girl with some hot songs and hot moves on any stage for a performance.

Mr. Beck Sports Armani

beckham Sports Armani

All I can say to this story is yum, yum, yum. I think I have just converted to being a soccer fan.

David Beckham, the better half of the Becks, is really going out of his way to show how, umm, HUGE of a star he is. He’s taken some time off the field to model for Armani’s underwear ad campaign.

The ads are–popping up–in black and white and are, for lack of a better word, amazing. I’m ready to shell out some cash for underwear, pictures, a night with Beck, whatever they’re selling.

Mmm, mmm, good.

With Roberto Cavalli being the designer of the Spice Girls’ costumes for their upcoming reunion tour, we can all expect some very sexy and glamorous outfits gracing the bodies of the ladies.Roberto tells OK! magazine about how he came to be the designer for the tour saying “I have known Victoria Beckham for a long time and I have always admired her style and personality. When we talked about the worldwide tour The Return of the Spice Girls, she put forward the idea of me creating all their costumes to which I immediately agreed. When I met them, I immediately understood the reason why the world went crazy for their unique brand of girl power as they are an irresistible mix of energy, pure joy, humor and a spicy dash of glamour. I’m sure their strength will take us by storm again”

Billy Ray Cyrus Wants to Film in TN

Billy Ray Cyrus Wants to Film in TN

Pre-teen fans are anxiously awaiting Billy Ray Cyrus’ upcoming film with daughter Miley. The Disney Channel stars are working out the details for the filming of their Hannah Montana movie. Cyrus is hoping filming will take place in their home state of Tennessee.

The movie is based on the duos popular Disney Channel series where Miley plays Miley Stewart, a young girl who moves from Tennessee to Malibu to live out the dream as a pop star. By day, she is simply Miley, a high school student who gets in her share of normal teenage scrapes. In the evening hours, she secretly performs as Hannah Montana, a popular musical performer.

In the proposed movie version, the Stewarts make a return visit to Tennessee. Billy Ray feels strongly that it should be filmed there as well.

Billy Ray reportedly told the Associated Press, “The thing of it is, Walt Disney really wants to film this movie in Tennessee.” The problem is that there may not be enough financial backing coming from state officials. It isn’t that officials don’t want the film, though. The executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment, and Music Commission is quoted as saying, “It would mean a real impact on tourism and it would be a family friendly film that would come to the state.”

Louisiana is competing for the filming privileges. Tennessee officials are anxious to make their offer and see how it compares to that of Louisiana.

The Cyrus’ spent Thanksgiving in Tennessee with family and celebrated Miley’s 15th birthday with a sold-out concert show in Nashville. They are looking forward to the possibility of returning in April to shoot the film.

Can you blame the guy? I mean, after all, who doesn’t want to work from home?

Flowers for Wino

Flowers for Wino

Lord knows why, but Amy Winehouse is completely lovesick despite having not much reason to be. The singer’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil is currently in jail for attempting to tamper with a case but Amy can’t get her mind off him even as she’s on a tour of the UK.

At a concert in Glasgow this past weekend, the troubled singer revealed how she plans to commemorate their upcoming six month anniversary. “I’m going to send him a bouquet of flowers. And I want everyone here to send Blake a red rose.”

If you’re one of the few who care, work in the flower business or you just want a good laugh, do send a rose to the Pentonville Prison in London.

Amy Winehouse is Wide Awake

Amy Winehouse is Wide Awake

Amy Winehouse was in between concert stops come Friday. You would think that she would take the time to rest up and gather some energy, but not our little Wino. The ‘Rehab’ singer was spotted leaving her London apartment at 3:45 AM early Friday morning. While most people are asleep at that time, Amy is up like the bat that got splatted on her eyes.

Maybe she couldn’t catch a wink because apart from the drama that has recently gone on in the past two weeks, Wino’s manager Thom Stone quit on Thursday because he was reportedly fed up with Amy’s continued use of heroin.

Natalie Portman Gets Her Soulja On

Natalie Portman Gets Her Soulja On

A few weeks after seeing some little kids doing ballet to the song, we can now see the usually prim and proper Natalie Portman get her groove on all because of Soulja Boy. The movie star dropped by TRL to promote her latest film Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium when she got an impromptu dance lesson from the hip hop singer.

26-year old Natalie picked up the latest hip hop-flavored move sweeping the nation, the Soulja Boy Dance. It’s an enjoyable watch as Natalie jumps, hops and cranks it in her red heels. Maybe she could even teach the dance to her model boyfriend.

Britney Auctions Off CD for Charity

britney-nude.jpg

All you die-hard Britney Spears listen up! Don’t miss out on your chance to get a one of a kind autographed copy of her album ‘Blackout.’ Britney is auctioning off the album on EBay and 100% of the proceeds go to UNICEF. There are many other artists out there who have sold more than Britney such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder-who both sold over 100 million records. Elvis is another. Tons and tons more. People who are in her same age group-Beyonce for one has sold over 100 Million records and she’s the same age as Britney, and they started out around the same time. Christina Aguilera has sold over 30 million records and to be “less famous” as Britney, that says a lot. SO you bragging that Brit has sold over 50 Million records aren’t as big of a brag as you claim it to be.

Carrie and the National Anthem

Carrie and the National Anthem
Two-time Grammy award winning singer Carrie Underwood sang the US National Anthem prior to the start of Game Three of the 2007 Major League Baseball’s World Series on Saturday. The game saw the Colorado Rockies get beat by the Boston Red Sox at Coors Field in Denver with a score of five to nine.

The 24-year old American Idol alum and World’s Sexiest Vegetarian may have been the lucky charm for the Red Sox when she belted out a powerful rendition of oh-say-can-you-sees. With her performance, anyone would have been inspired. The Rockies may have just turned deaf ears though.

Jackie Chan Not A Fan Of His Successful ‘Rush Hour’ Series

jackie-chan.jpg

Rush Hour put Jackie Chan in Hollywood’s major leagues, but the Hong Kong star isn’t a fan of his successful action comedy franchise. luv rush hour, 3 wasn’t as good as the first 2 but still good. But that’s also very strange, the movie that has helped him establish himself as a bankable Hollywood actor does not have a place in his own list of favorite movies. Most other Hollywood actors would say the absolute opposite of what Jackie has said, they would go on and on and on praising their successful movies and tell us stories about behind the scenes fun on the sets and off the sets. I think Jackie Chan is one of those actors whose personality is not to praise himself and tell others about his achievements and tell tall stories to make some press news that’s liked and talked about in the circles. He is so agile and entertaining in his actions scenes that he could go on forever and his movie would still be entertaining.
