Leona Lewis told to shape up for US

Leona Lewis has been told to shape up if she wants lasting success in the US.

The ‘Bleeding Love’ singer, who recently topped The Billboard album and singles charts, reportedly needs a ’sexier’ image so her team have hired Mariah Carey’s personal trainer.

A source said: “Leona has done brilliantly in the US. But some of her team think she needs to be a bit sexier if she wants to have the longevity of female artists like Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson or Madonna. Her looks needs to be more polished. They think that having Leona work with Mariah’s trainer Patricia Gay would be a treat for her because she adores Mariah.”

Leona, 23, will reportedly fly to the Caribbean for ‘intensive sessions’ with Patricia to help get her into shape.

Mariah recently revealed she regularly flies Patricia - who helped Mariah shed around 30lbs - from St. Barts to her New York apartment for their training.

The ‘Touch My Body’ star has insisted she can’t see any similarities between Leona’s music and her own and claims there will never be a “new” Mariah.

She said: “Honestly, there has been so many, ‘This is the new her,’ and I’m like, ‘OK, show me the new her.’ And I’m not particularly talking about this girl Leona, because I only heard her once and I didn’t really hear a true similarity, particularly in the style of music.”

Madonna Gets a Grammy

Madonna Gets a Grammy

One of the first Grammy Awards to be handed out on Sunday went to the Queen of Pop, Madonna. The singer won for Best Long Form Music Video for her ‘Confessions’ tour at the pre-telecast ceremony. Congratulations to Madonna! I’m sure that once her new album comes out, she would get a lot more awards considering who she worked with on the album. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland have already proven how much of a powerhouse duo they are behind the sound boards and it’s sure to bring Madonna a good edge for next year’s awards.

Amy Winehouse Blows Off Video Shoot

Amy Winehouse Blows Off Video Shoot

The hot mess that is Amy Winehouse has canceled or screwed up more shows/gigs/shoots than I can keep count of. Adding to the list of ‘Winehouse Disappointments’ is her latest video shoot for “Love Is a Losing Game.” Staff and film crew waited over 15 hours for Winehouse to show up for the video shoot, but she was a no-show. The shoot eventually had to be canceled and cost the studio 70,000 pounds. Amy is one girl whose going down the drain everyday. She gets up in the morning and is quite like Britney Spears these days, there is always something weird brewing up in both their lives now days. Amy, when she is in Canada there she is caught carrying cocaine or heroin in her hand bag, she cancels video shoots and gigs very much like Britney who at times will forget to pay her dancers. And right now she in that phase of her life that if her manager or anyone tells her that it has cost the studio 70,000 pounds she won’t regret it she will simply pay the money and show off.

More Trouble for Spears

It seems as if a day cannot go by without Britney Spears being present at the top of the Hollywood news list. Just days after hitting a parked car there is no escaping trouble for her. An extra from her secretly filmed music video told US Weekly that Britney had a naked pool party after shooting. He said that the pool party turned into a game of Truth or Dare and that Britney was the first to undress followed by others. This behaviour has gotten her into some hot water this time. People magazine reported that Britney’s ex, Kevin Federline has gone to his lawyer to make a request for sole custody of their two children. Papers were filed yesterday asking the Judge for the kids. Ever since their split Britney has been on a downward spiral. It’s not as simple as a drug addiction, its actual mental decline. The girl is literally going crazy. Losing her kids would be terrible but if she can’t take care of herself how will she ever take care of them?

Britney’s New Video

Despite people saying that she’s getting back on track, I still think that Britney Spears is a train wreck with a weave.

Britney was pictured on the set of her ‘comeback’ music video that was shot in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday. Britney sported an all black look that made her seem like a high-end prostitute more than anything.

Insiders are saying that they don’t have a single clue why she’s doing this video and that she doesn’t even have a choreographer for it. Oh my God. She’s choreographing on her own!

Looks like she’s out to prove that she can still do it even without the help of people that think she’s crazy.

Hasselhoff Wins Custody

Filed under: Celebrity, Rumor, Video — Tara @ 3:48 pm

I don’t make any claim to understand the goings on of celebrities these days. But I am even more astounded than ever to hear that David Hasselhoff won his custody case. Did we not all see the drunken cheeseburger clip? His own daughter recorded that to show her father what a pathetic alcoholic he has become. And yet, the judge decided that wasn’t such a big deal after all. david_hasselhoff.jpg

Hasselhoff’s ex-wife is allowed visitation rights of course but I can’t help but wonder what she must be up to behind closed doors. It’s got to be worse than Hasselhoff himself for the judgement made in this case. A second custody hearing date has been arranged for August though that just seems rather redundant. According to Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, David Hasselhoff is upset about the drunken video leak and believes it is his private business. Well yes, it is. But when your daughter feels the need to film your wasted antics, there is a problem bigger than what the rest of us think. Perhaps these stars should spend more time caring what their families think than millions of strangers.

Is there any body that can match the acting skills and the repertoire of Mr. Will Smith?

Is there any body that can match the acting skills and the repertoire of Mr. Will Smith? He first burst onto the music scene as a rap singer (aka The Fresh Prince) with along friend and associate Jeff Townes (aka DJ Jazzy Jeff). The teen duo went on to produce two platinum albums - with such mega hits as Girls Ain’t Nothin’ But Trouble, Summertime, Parents Just Don’t Understand, and Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It. And what should an awesome news for their fans is that the two are currently planning a world tour. Surely Will Smith would have some commitments to his fledging movie carrier, but there are reports that the Hollywood star is willing to put his upcoming plans on a hold and most probably start the world tour at the end of this year. He says, “We always talk about doing a JJFP (Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince) record and a huge tour, we just have to clear the time to do it. Right now, the plan is we are supposed to go out on tour together at the end of this year.” The way he dances in his videos it is quite apparent that the actor has great dancing skills.
