Quilting Day
She has had one of the most successful music careers in history topping chart after chart for the last 30'ish years and she is about to break another record. Madonnas latest release 'Give Me All Your Luvin' is anticipated to hit the number one spot on the Billboard Dance/Party top 100 list for the week... which means it will be her 41st hit to make number 1! No one is close competition to her... Janet Jackson is the next in line with just 19 number ones.
Just when you thought is wasn't possible for any more singing competition shows to be created... well there is yet another one. Coming soon 'Teen Icon'. This competition is open to anyone ages 12-19, and not limited to the US, auditions will be taken from Canada, the UK, South Africa and other English speaking countries. The judges for this show will be Jordin Sparks (made famous from American Idol) Tiffany (80's pop star) Jesse McCartney and a fourth judges who is yet to be announced. No premier date for this show is available yet, but auditions will start in the next few weeks.
This months edition of Playboy Magazine has a little something for everyone, plus its a history making edition. Being only the 10th man to grace to the cover of Playboy, Bruno Mars becomes a part of the 'sex and music' theme. That's a pretty huge honor, to be only 1 of 10 men to be welcomed into the Playboy family... wow!
Britney Spears is one of the female celebs that have been in the talks with the X-Factors producers. The producers offered her an amazing $10 million dollar contract, which she reportedly has turned down and is holding out for more money... like $20 million!!!! To put this is perspective J-Lo made $12 million for her time on American Idol and Christina Aguilera is doing The Voice for $10 million. I wonder if Fox will dig deep and pay Britney what she wants to be there. However Fox isn't just competing with Britney's offer. Britney is also in talks with Las Vegas to set up residency there as a permanent performer.
We knew she wouldn't stay single long, Katy Perry allegedly has a new guy in her life. She was recently spotted in Paris with French model Baptiste Giabiconi. They were said to be very flirty with each other while sharing laughs and whispers. Even though they were part of a group it was noticed that they stayed very close to each other all night.
She may have got to big break from American Idol, but Kelly Clarkson isn't going back to A.I. Instead, Kelly has signed on to be a mentor on yet another singing talent show called Duets. The idea of this show is a little different because the celebs involved are not judges but mentors. The mentors will be traveling around to find people to perform duets with them, each week the contestant will perform with the celeb, hoping to win the grand prize which is a record contract from Hollywood Records. The list of mentors includes Kelly Clarkson, Lionel Ritchie, Robin Thicke and Jennifer Nettles.
Yet another singing talent show is on the way. This time Queen Latifah, Gloria Estefan and John Rich are the judges, but this isn't your typical American Idol/X-Factor style show. Instead of holding auditions, the judges are going to travel around the country scouting out their own idea of talent in local performers. The show is going to air on The CW this summer, and there are more judges/mentors to be announced.
Can this be right, Lady Gaga is ready to settle down?! Gaga is currently in a relationship with Taylor Kinney from Vampire Diaries. Gaga has reportedly said that she wants to settle down, get married and start a family... but not necessarily in that order. Gaga apparently wants to have a baby in the next year!! Taylor is apparently on board with this idea because he's been quoted saying that he can't wait to be a daddy.
More good things for Avril Lavigne... not only is she in talks to maybe be a new judge for The X-Factor, and she's got a new line of nail art, shoes and clothing on the way- but she is also working on a new album! As she just Tweeted she is also teaming up with someone else we are very familiar with, Nickelbacks Chad Kroeger. Apparently the two are collaborating on a few tracks together...
