You can get your Pan flute on in Mr. Jackson's 'Opus'
23 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
One of the portraits Michael Jackson commissioned from painter David Nordhal does bear resemblance to Michaelangelo's David statue, as Sunday's NY Post points out, but it's more like a cross between that and William Bouguereau's Le Printemps (The Return of Spring), pictured above right. Spot the difference: Michael is playing a Pan flute because he was a musician. Or a Satyr, depending on your perspective. "Michael" is just one of many paintings and other rare Michael Jackson-themed artwork appearing in The Official Michael Jackson Opus. I'm actually most interested in Nordhal's depiction of Janet Jackson as a fairy in The Storyteller, »

'X Factor': Danyl Johnson Booted, Final 3 Revealed
7 December 2009 12:11 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
"The X Factor" is trimming down its contestants to mere three with the departure of Danyl Johnson on Sunday, December 6. The schoolteacher was denied the chance to be in the final when the public vote did not encourage him to move forward. "I might have gone out in the semi-final but I've gone out to some of the best people I've ever met," he said upon his exit.
The 27-year-old was personally mentored by Simon Cowell. The judge expressed his disappointment toward Johnson's exit, saying "There was nothing more he could have done. He's gone out on a high. He's a gracious loser." Johnson said that he would not give up on singing and would do a couple of gigs after going home.
With Johnson out of the competition, the remaining contestants thus are Olly Murs, Stacey Solomon and Joe McElderry. The final will be divided into two parts, one »

Video: Lady GaGa Putting on Devil Horns for 'X Factor' Performance
6 December 2009 6:54 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Lady GaGa donned a metallic outfit matched with a pair of devil horns when singing on U.K. talent show "The X Factor" Sunday, December 6. Performing "Bad Romance", she did not only appear with those outrageous costumes but also had bizarre set which featured a giant bath and shower and included a troupe of dancers in zombie-style white outfits.
The dance queen also took time to give advice for the show's contestants saying, "Be yourself!" She then added, "Don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't achieve your dreams."
When agreeing to perform on "X Factor", Lady GaGa reportedly had odd requests, demanding lambs and butterflies for her on-stage act. "He [Simon Cowell] thought the animals request was a joke but then realized it was Lady GaGa. Simon is an animal lover and wasn't against having the lambs running around, but he said no because of health and safety," a source told The Mirror. »

Lady GaGa Banned From Having Lambs and Butterflies on 'The X Factor'
4 December 2009 11:14 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
Lady GaGa's request to have fluffy lambs and hundreds of butterflies on stage during her upcoming performance on "The X Factor" has reportedly been rejected. According to Daily Mirror, the show's creator and judge Simon Cowell declined the request after he consulted with health and safety experts.
"Simon is an animal lover and wasn't against having the lambs running around, but he said no because of health and safety," a source said of Cowell's rejection. As a replacement, the "American Idol" judge was said planning to provide the electronica artist with semi-naked dancers during her performance.
Commenting on the 23-year-old's outrageous request itself, the source said, "She is always way out there with her costumes and dance routines." The source further added, "But not even [Simon] was prepared for what she had in mind. He thought the animals request was a joke but then realised it was Lady GaGa."

Pope Benedict XVI: Big Tupac Fan?
4 December 2009 12:26 PM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
A few weeks ago, a band called Casting Crowns stormed the Billboard album chart and outsold debuts by the likes of 50 Cent, Kris Allen, Them Crooked Vultures and Janet Jackson. It was another testament to the power of Christian rock, which is constantly spreading throughout the world and finding new mainstream audiences. They may be disappointed to find out that their influence perhaps doesn't extend to the Vatican — especially considering the likes of Tupac and Muse may be in heavy rotation there.
On Thursday (December 3), the Vatican released a playlist via MySpace Music that includes inspirational music and a selection from Mozart's "Don Giovanni," but it also features Tupac's 1998 hit "Changes," the latest single by Muse and a tune by Seattle folk-poppers Fleet Foxes. Curated by Father Giulio Neroni (who also produced an album called Alma Mater, which featured Pope Benedict XVI reading over liturgical music and also figures »

ABC drops Adam Lambert again and again
3 December 2009 8:28 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
When Adam Lambert was competing on American Idol, there were times when his performances reminded the judges -- and viewers -- of Elvis Presley. And other rock icons, too. It was all part of Adam's appeal. But now that he's promoting his new CD and did a "scandalous" performance at the American Music Awards, he's really getting the Elvis treatment. There's fear that his actions, which are more graphic than anything Elvis ever did, will go too far.
Today, Adam tweeted that ABC had cancelled two more spots on the network -- his upcoming Jimmy Kimmel Live! date and a New Year's Eve performance. Adam added that nobody should blame ABC for the cancellations because it was pressure from the FCC that prompted ABC's action. So maybe we should really be blaming Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake for the infamous Super Bowl breast/costume malfunction? ABC previously dumped Adam from Good Morning America. »

Adam Lambert has had to answer a lot of questions about his provocative American Music Awards performance on November 22.

The Janet Jackson and Colin Farrell dating rumors may be just that: rumors. Although it was recently reported that the pop superstar and the Irish actor have enjoyed intimate meal together, Farrell spent Thanksgiving with his baby mama, Alicja Bachleda.

According to ETonline.com, the two may emerge as an unlikely celebrity couple.

I was tweeting randomly about what was going on ... so, the homies was at the house and everybody was like, 'He's making an excuse.'

Though last week ABC canceled a "Good Morning America" performance by "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert after his controversial set at the American Music Awards, the network announced that it had taped an interview with singer Chris Brown for "20/20," excerpts of which may air on "Good Morning America."
The Associated Press reported that Brown's interview with "Gma" anchor Robin Roberts, who recently spoke to Janet Jackson, will air on "20/20" on Friday, December 11.
The in-depth interview will find Brown discussing his assault on former girlfriend Rihanna in February, and through clips of the talk may appear on "Gma," a network spokesperson said Brown will not perform on the program. ABC's Diane Sawyer spoke to Rihanna earlier this month, when the singer gave the most detailed account to date of the attack by Brown, »

Janet Jackson said the realisation of her brother Michael's death only hit her three months after his death. The 'Make Me' singer said she had avoided everything that could remind her of her Thriller' singer brother after he suddenly passed away in June, until she was about to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards in September, when she saw a huge picture in tribute to him. Janet, 43, said: "It hit me before I was about to do the performance, and it hit me when we were in rehearsal. "There was a huge image of him on this screen, and I started to cry.

Janet Jackson has revealed that she wants to keep moving on with her music career. The popstar, who has just released her greatest hits compilation The Best, explained that she enjoys her work.

And the people there are loyal, so they stay quiet." Jackson added that she is flattered when younger popstars cite her as an influence. "I think it's great for someone to emulate you," she explained. "It lets you know that they've watched your work and admired what it is you've done." (more) »
