Having released three studio albums so far, Jesse McCartney apparently is ready to share more personal matters as he prepares for a new effort. When discussing about his yet-to-be-titled effort with MTV, the 22-year-old promised, "You'll get the chance to hear what's going on in my head right now and a little ... more personal."
Pressed further about the "personal" stuff, the singer who is voicing Theodore in "Alvin and the Chipmunks" shared about dealing with success at such a young age. "Well, a lot of stuff that's going on in my personal life and my family life - just what it's like having all this success now at the age of 22, kind of dealing with it and what that's like," so he said.
Jesse kept much of the album details in secret, saying "I just started, so there's not much to tell." Still, he teased on what to expect from the album, »

Jesse McCartney teamed up with Ludacris for McCartney's remix of his song "How Do You Sleep?" off his album Departure. The duo also collaborated on a high-octane video for the track. With McCartney heading back into the studio to work on the follow-up LP, he's hoping to work with the Atlanta Mc once again.
"Yeah, I have some ideas in mind [in terms of collaborations], but those things always come together last-minute. We're working on a few things," he told MTV News. "I know that I might work with Ludacris again. That's maybe a possibility, and he's great — he's one of my favorite rappers ... and he's amazing to work with."
Until he can lock down some time with the rapper, he's still in the planning stages when it comes to the album's sound. »

Young Hollywood sensations Corbin Bleu, Jesse McCartney and Annalynne McCord were honoured on Saturday for their tireless charity work.
The up-and-coming stars were all lauded at Variety's third Power of Youth event in Los Angeles, which recognises the philanthropic work of people under 25.
Singer McCartney, who was honoured for his work with the City of Hope charity, tells People.com, "I'm just proud to speak out about something I'm passionate about."
High School Musical star Bleu was congratulated for his efforts as spokesman for the Starlight Children's Foundation, while 90210's McCord worked as a goodwill ambassador for The Blind Project.
And she insists more young people should get out there and help those who are less fortunate.
She says, "There's a lot of twentysomethings who are enjoying their twenties, and that's great. But when you're privileged like we are as entertainers to make the money that we make and have the notoriety that we have, I think you owe it to the world to give back."
Others recognised at the ceremony included iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove and True Jackson actor Keke Palmer. »

Chicago – No one can accuse Activision and Neversoft of allowing their music game franchise to get stale. In fact, some might argue that they have flooded the market with too many similar products including “Guitar Hero: Metallica,” “Guitar Hero: Smash Hits,” “Guitar Hero 5,” “DJ Hero,” and, now, “Band Hero” in just this year alone (with “Guitar Hero: Van Halen” dropping before Christmas as well).
Video Game Rating: 3.5/5.0
So, how does “Band Hero” distinguish itself from the other titles? It doesn’t really. This is a more-of-the-same proposition, a somewhat-themed expansion set for what you know and love about the “Guitar Hero” games. At times, it feels like a bit of a wasted opportunity, but the title is ultimately a well-crafted, family-oriented installment of this crowded franchise and it should deliver what buyers are looking for this holiday season.

Songwriter/producer (Beyoncé, Rihanna, Usher) is ready to write some hits for himself.
By Gil Kaufman

Sean "The Pen" Garrett has the swagger of a boxer. Fast with a verbal jab, expert at talking an Ali-worthy streak of trash and prone to referring to himself in the third person, the fire-hot producer/songwriter (Beyoncé's "Diva," Fergie's "London Bridge," Usher's "Papers" and Mario's "Break Up") is planning to take some rare "me" time later this year to hunker down on his first solo album.
"Sean Garrett as an artist is what fans are missing," he said recently during a break from a workout at an Atlanta gym. "I'm making the kind of records Bell Biv Devoe and Bobby Brown made, songs you love and get excited hearing, with crazy beats and incredibly creative. I'm trying to be a little innovative and make songs girls will love. I'm pulling out all the stops. »

Spin-offs and sequels represent Disney’s plan of expansion in between the major theatrical features. A small fraction of Disney’s films actually have theatrical potential while the rest have little promise beyond DVD and Blu-ray sales for adolescent to tweenage audiences by capitalizing on classic Disney film protagonists or their buddies. Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure takes Peter Pan out of the Neverland equation and establishes a story with no appeal beyond the 5 to 10-year-old demographic. It’s not a negligible niche and so Disney puts a fair amount of money into the process. The direct to DVD/Blu-ray films like this one tend to have a decent cast selection as well as respectable animation production levels; they just don’t have very compelling stories or characters.
As the movie’s intro explains, faeries depend on a seasonal cycle of sorts the basis of which is their faerie dust. »
