Michael Jackson’s former guitarist Orianthi Panagaris is getting ready to release an album, and not a moment too soon.
The guitarist, who was planning on releasing an album after her O2 concerts with Michael Jackson, has moved up the release date of her album. The album, titled, “Believe” is set for release the day before “This Is It” hits theaters, on October 27, 2009.
I wouldn’t call it opportunistic, however, because her concerts with Michael aren’t exactly happening. She’s an extraordinary guitarist, so I hope her album does well.
In a recent interview, she talks about playing for Michael, …read more

Madonna has been keeping busy lately, with touring and whatever else it is that rich people do with their time. Surely she doesn’t have the time to have another baby?

Rumors are flying saying that Madge is getting ready to settle down for the third time, but we’ll keep our ears to the ground for any confirmation on those.

She’s so busy, though, all of her …read more

According to Michael Jackson’s former Rabbi, Madonna was madly in love with Michael, and was even jealous of him.

He said that Michael told him, “I think she likes shock value and she knows how to push buttons on people. I think she was sincerely in love with me and I was not in love with her. She did a lot of crazy …read more

According to sources, Madonna was having an ultra VIP party last week, and she snubbed Lindsay Lohan as she tried to gain entrance.

She had her party at the Boom Boom Room nightclub and ordered her security team not to let Lindsay in to crash.
It was said that Madonna was upset that Lindsay got the job as artistic adviser to Emanuel Ungaro’s fashion line, instead of her. Thus the reason for the LiLo ban.

Say what?
When you think of The Beatles, I’m sure the first thought that doesn’t come to your mind is drugs. Am I close? Former Beatle Paul McCartney tells us otherwise.

In a new interview, McCartney says, “We were overdoing substances and really getting crazy, as we all were….falling asleep – the kinda thing when you can hardly get your head off the pillow. You go, ‘Woah, I’d better get my head off this pillow.’”
He said that their drug induced days inspired them to write “Let It Be.” McCartney explains, “I had a dream, where my mother, who …read more

When Jermaine Jackson announced the headliners for the Michael Jackson tribute concert in Vienna, he must not have checked with the performers first.

Jermaine Jackson announced the list of performers for the Vienna Michael Jackson tribute concert, and Chris Brown’s name was on the list. Given that he was a huge fan of Michael’s and credited him with jumpstarting his career, it would seem a fitting tribute.

Chris’ rep has dashed any plans that the singer would be performing for the September 26th show, saying, “Chris is not confirmed to perform or participate in any capacity for this show.”
He would have to have the trip okay’ed by a judge, considering he’s on probation for the next five years. Considering his …read more

Well, let’s step out of the way for British songstress Susan Boyle! Apparently she thinks she’s got the chops to cover a Madonna song. Nice!
The song she selected? “You’ll See”. What great choice! Think she’ll rock it?

A source said, “Susan chose it herself – it’s a song she has loved for years. She sang it at auditions for TV shows and music contests when she used to be cruelly turned away by people. At the end, when she was sometimes reduced to tears, she used to say, ‘You’ll See’. And she’s proof …read more
