Adam Lambert Defends His Glittery Image: The MTV News Quote Of The Day
1 hour ago | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
"People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff. ... Chill out! And just enjoy yourself. It's not that deep. Sometimes it is deep. Some of the songs on the album are. Sometimes it's just, 'This is hot, I feel good, this song makes me want to go get a drink and flirt with somebody and have a good time.' Good energy is just as credible as the cathartic, dark, heavy stuff. It's just as important!"
-"American Idol" runner-up and budding glam icon Adam Lambert, who spoke to The Los Angeles Times about his debut album, his ever-evolving image and the public reaction to his work outside of "Idol." Lambert's first record For Your Entertainment drops in a few weeks, but he has already found himself defending his aesthetic choices — including his embrace of traditionally theatrical tropes. "People look at me and immediately say, »

'American Idol' runner-up says 'most female pop stars right now' are as influenced by musical theater as he is.

Adam Lambert clearly likes to have fun with his image. He loves the glamorous worlds of rock and roll and disco. He's not afraid to wear makeup and glitter. Plus, he likes to poke fun at people's perceptions of him, as he does on the kitschy cover for his forthcoming debut album, For Your Entertainment. But when it comes to his music, Lambert isn't shy about shedding his pop-star persona and singing about deeper emotions.
"The dress-up supports that; the fantasy element supports it. People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff. ... Chill out! And just enjoy yourself," he told the Los Angeles Times. "It's not that deep. ... Sometimes it is deep. »

Let the rock-off begin! Just days after the track listing and 30-second samples of Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment were revealed, the tracks and talent roster for fellow "American Idol" alum Allison Iraheta's Just Like You have been unveiled. The list of familiar contributors to the album suggests that while Iraheta is digging into her rock roots, she's also seriously indulging her pop side as well.
Like Lambert, Iraheta tapped "Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi for some songwriting help for the LP, due out December 1. Kara penned "No One Else" with Pink (listed by her birth name, Alecia Moore) and Grammy-nominated producer/writer Greg Wells (Katy Perry, OneRepublic, Kelly Clarkson), who also contributed to Lambert's album.
Iraheta has several songs written and »
Alan Cumming Is The Emcee For All Time
5 November 2009 7:08 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Is there any doubt that Burlesque is going to be the craziest movie of 2010? It's already got Cher and Christina Aguilera duking it out in the main roles, and Stanley Tucci, Kristen Bell and Cam Gigandet, among others, as witnesses to the catfight. Now they've completed the crazy package: Alan Cumming is on board! Better yet, they seem to have brought him in essentially to reprise his Emcee role from Cabaret, which won him a Tony in 1998. Variety describes the role as "the club's gender-bending host and master of ceremonies," which again, is exactly like the Emcee. At least they know he'll be good at it. »
Michael Beardon Interview, This Is it
4 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
MoviesOnline recently sat down with Michael Jackson’s musical director, Michael Bearden, to talk about his new film, Michael Jackson’s This Is It, which offers Jackson fans and music lovers worldwide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts that would have taken place beginning this past summer in London’s O2 Arena.
Bearden is an accomplished musical director/keyboardist/arranger/composer for a diverse range of musical superstars. He has performed and/or recorded with some of popular music’s giants including: Sting, Carlos Santana, Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, Chaka Kahn, Patti Austin, James Ingrahm, Patti Labelle, Yoko Ono, George Benson, Natalie Cole, Yossou NDour, Boz Scaggs, Lenny Kravitz, Luther Vandross, Issac Hayes, Aaron Neville, Edie Brickell, Jon Bonjovi and legends Nancy Wilson, Queen, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Liza Minelli, Elton John, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles and served »
Diddy Celebrates His 40th Birthday
4 November 2009 11:12 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
If you happen to pass by Sean Combs, be sure to wish him a happy birthday, as the man better known as Diddy turns 40 years old today. While it's bizarre to think if Diddy as a guy in the depths of middle age, it's also odd to think that he isn't older. Diddy has been such a dominant, ubiquitous force in pop culture since the '90s that it's almost as if he has always been with us. There have been countless highs (smash hits like "It's All About the Benjamins," "I'll Be Missing You" and "Bad Boy for Life") and devastating lows (most notably the death of his friend the Notorious B.I.G.), but he has certainly changed the face of hip-hop and gave rise to the idea of diversification among pop stars. He's dabbled in fashion, fragrances, restaurants and alcohol, and his empire is constantly expanding.

Casting Notes: Alan Cumming in Burlesque; Mirren Does Espionage; Dempsey Steals Laughs; Weaver and Shawkat Hit Cedar Rapids
4 November 2009 7:22 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
It's casting notes time again. Alan Cumming has joined Steve Antin's Burlesque, about "an ambitious small-town girl with a big voice who finds herself at a neo-burlesque club." Christina Aguilera is the girl, Kristen Bell is the rival dancer, and Cumming is the gender-bending club Mc. So this is really a failsafe in case that Showgirls sequel falls through? [Variety] After the break, news about Helen Mirren, Patrick Dempsey, confirmation on a Gerard Butler role and more for the Ed Helms flick Cedar Rapids. Helen Mirren will work alongside Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis in the espionage thriller Red, based on the WildStorm/DC comicbook. The comics, about a former CIA operative being pursued by a high-tech assassin, were written by Warren Ellis. Erich and Jon Hoeber wrote the script, while Robert Schwnetke is directing. Patrick Dempsey will be in the currently untitled heist comedy written by credited Hangover scribes »

Photo gallery/ Guess who's incognito Irish! / Click here Surprise! They're Irish! Some celebrities are obviously Irish - think Conan O'Brien, Denis Leary and Maureen Dowd, while others, like President Obama, are a little harder to spot. These undercover Irishmen and women may not “look the part,” but that doesn’t mean they’re any less Irish than a pale redhead with freckles. We present to you the IrishCentral top 10 list of the incognito Irish: 1. Chuck Norris The world famous Chuck Norris is usually thought of as an American badass who delivers a mean roundhouse kick to people’s faces. The Texas Ranger is the son of Wilma (née Scarberry) and Ray Norris, both of whom are of Irish and Cherokee Native American descent. In fact, Norris’ paternal grandfather was an emigrant from Ireland. 2. Christina Aguilera This genie in a bottle got lots of attention for her Latin name. According »

Christina Aguilera has revealed that she plans to show her risque pop video for the 2002 hit single “Dirrty” to her son. The Irish and Latin American singer, who has 21-month-old Max Liron with her husband Jordan Bratman, said she is looking forward to showing Max all of her videos, including “Dirrty” which features her prancing around a wrestling ring in leather hotpants. She said: “He’ll see all of my work, I’m sure. But I think that’s also a part of what I want him to appreciate in women - the fact that sexuality is not something you should be ashamed of. “The more you try to forbid something and keep it secret, the more it becomes this thing you should be fearful of.” Aguilera, 28, who was raised by her Irish-American mother and Clare-born grandmother, also said she is shaping Max up to be a rocker when he grows up, »

Tinker Bell And The Lost Treasure – Blu-ray Review
30 October 2009 2:54 PM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
I’ll watch essentially anything The Mouse House churns out, within reason. Most of their live-action catalogue can be done without, but at the end of the day the Disney is that childhood friend you ultimately can’t turn your back to. I’ll even suffer through some Disney Channel schlock because my old friend and I go way, way back. For this reason, and because I’m in love with Disneyland, is why I chose to sit through Tinker Bell And The Lost Treasure. Quite honestly, I’d almost say I’m glad I did as the direct-to-dvd/Blu-ray movie turned out much better than expected.
The main reason this Tinker Bell adventure isn’t terrible is due in large part to the effort that’s on display. The writing isn’t particularly sharp, but the writers have turned in something that actually expands the mythology of Tink and Pixie Hollow. »

Project Runway: The Claws Come Out!
30 October 2009 5:37 AM, PDT | People.com - TV Watch | See recent People.com - TV Watch news »
Talk about a blast from the past! On Thursday's Project Runway, the six remaining designers came face to face with their winning designs -- except for Logan, who has never won a challenge -- and were asked to design a look they could pair with the outfit. Theoretically, it was an opportunity for everyone to shine, to revisit past glories and create something new and stunning. In reality, though, some of the designers produced ho-hum pieces while others seemed to rip each other off -- or as Irina (sort-of) diplomatically noted, there was a lot of "resemblances" in the workroom. Logan vs. Althea: Logan decided he needed to amp things up this week, so the designer bought 50 zippers from Mood which he decided to incorporate into his garment. His concept? Create a collar made out of said zippers -- only the idea wasn't so fresh. As Althea pointed out, she »

Priscilla Renea isn't the first artist to parlay YouTube fame into a music career, but she might be the savviest. Even though the 21-year-old Vero Beach, Florida, native is wrapping up work on her major label debut, Jukebox (due December 1), and has already scored a hit single with her Katy Perry-esque love-gone-wrong anthem "Dollhouse," even she can't believe how far she's come in such a short time.
"I got the majority of my fanbase from YouTube, because I was on there for a year and a half before anyone saw me from a label," said Renea, currently a featured artist on MTV's Discover & Download.
It all began in December 2006, around the time "Dreamgirls" came out and Justin Timberlake participated »
Willis' Game Show Role
28 October 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Bruce Willis swapped Hollywood for the small screen and showed his generous side with a recent charity appearance on the Turkish version of TV game show Deal Or No Deal.
The Die Hard star and his wife Emma Heming agreed to line up alongside host Acun Ilicali on a special celebrity edition of the programme earlier this month. It was recorded in a studio in Istanbul for broadcast on a Turkish TV network.
Details of how much money the couple won for its chosen charity - Wish A Wish - had not been released as WENN went to press.
Willis and Heming are not the first stars to appear on Turkey's adaptation of the gambling show - Christina Aguilera took part in the same programme last year. »

Rihanna's <i>Rated R</i>

After the deadly-game song title, razor's-edge logo and barbed-wire wrap she wore on the cover of her "Russian Roulette" single, it wasn't unreasonable to expect that Rihanna's upcoming Rated R album would feature a similarly dangerous image.
But the grainy black-and-white cover shot that leaked Tuesday (October 27) finds the singer in a moody, contemplative pose reminiscent of outrageous 1980s avant-garde singer Grace Jones. Wearing what looks like a leather top, Rihanna is depicted with her hand covering her right eye, with each finger wrapped in an intricate set of rings that hug two knuckles.
The image for the album, due November 23, was shot by fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who said Rihanna is "so beautiful, sweet and tough at the same time — and a pleasure to shoot," according to PopEater.com. Von Unwerth »
