You can say Adam Lambert is unlucky as he launched him as a singer when he was 27 last year after he won the runer-up of 2009 American Idol. It is really a little old for one to be known in the Show Biz. But you also can say he is lucky as he is finnaly successful, and even have acquired advice from superstars, including Lady Gaga and Madonna.
Adam Lambert reveals Lady Gaga gave him “a good pep talk” and warned him that he still has a lot of hard work to do. “Lady Gaga told me about the previous three years. She worked really, really hard before she made it. She told me there’s no glamour, you don’t get a lot of sleep, you don’t get a lot of stability in your social life — you just have to count on yourself and go for it. It was a good pep talk. And she was right.”

Heather Morris, who plays the namesake Brittany on “Glee”, opened up about the arc of Tuesday’s episode, dishing that the glee clubbers rebel against Shuester’s ban on retooling Britney Spears’ hits as they said that’s their homage to her.
“Through a special substance, I go under and have a couple of dream sequences — not only myself, but with Santana [Naya Rivera],” Morris told Australian magazine TV Week. “A lot of it has to do with Will [Matthew Morrison] not allowing us to perform Britney Spears songs, because he doesn’t agree with what kind of entertainer she is, so it’s our fight to do Britney. But it’s not just us doing Britney in show choir; there are other sequences — it’s our homage to her.”

The profundity of Ozzy Osbourne’s one-line head-scratchers has, at last, been immortalized in the new book The Wit And Wisdom of Ozzy Osbourne, due out Oct. 13 in the U.S. and Nov. 1 in the U.K. Available from Krause Publications, the 176-page paperback was authored by rock critic Dave Thompson, a longtime Osbourne fan who’s twice interviewed the Prince of Darkness.
A new press release says, “This paperback looks at Ozzy’s philosophy of life and reflects the spirit of the man who made Black Sabbath famous. This is Ozzy in all his raw and unfiltered glory; four decades worth of his best quotes, risqué retorts, oddest observations, and yes, even articulate ponderings.”

It is impossible to satisfy everyone with one thing. But Linkin Park ever did and they failed. Now they have changed their attitude on music, and they want to make music they like:
“There have been periods of our career where our maturity level might not be what it is today, and … like, we read 60 things that are positive about the band, and the one thing someone says they didn’t like, you’re like, ‘Oh God, I have to change my life.’ And you know, you can get caught up in that kind of stuff. So we’ve decided — very clearly — that we’re just going to make music that we like, that is challenging to us to create and pushes us in a place that makes us feel uncomfortable and giddy, like we’re discovering something. As long as we do that, and we feel happy with the record we put out, then it’s like, ‘OK, we’ve done our best, and if you like it, great, and if you don’t, go find something that you like.’”

If you have watched every trailer of “The Expendables”, you must not miss one that uses the song “Paradise City” by Guns N’ Roses. As an ensemble action film starring Sylvester Stallone and many other superstars who are the hottest in the past 20 years, “The Expendables” must have no doubt on shocking you. So does the film music.
“Paradise City” is written by Guns N’ Roses, which is included on their debut album “Appetite for Destruction”. “Paradise City” is thought by some to be about San Francisco and its corruption at the time. Some believe the song to be written about Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin’s hometown of Lafayette, Indiana and the nearby Purdue University campus.

Kanye West said he had written a beautiful song for Taylor Swift to express his appologize for the event that he interrupted the Video Music Awards to say that MTV mistakenly named Taylor Swift, instead of Beyonce as the winner of the best female video.
And this year, one week prior to the VMAs, Kanye sparked an I’m-sorry-Taylor pity party. He said he had written a beautiful song for Taylor. “If she won’t take it then I’ll perform it for her,” he wrote on his Twitter page.
Then on the big night, he performed “Runaway,” a song that was immediately interpreted to be an apology to the country darling. The sing-song melody and conversational chorus is signature Taylor Swift. But the words do not reference Taylor or the back story. The lyrics aren’t remorseful.

Once I felt rock music is very noisy, even with no cotent. But after listening to Andrew W.K’s “I Get Wet”, I have changed my attitude as I find something that lets me know that is the voice from the bottom of the heart. In the past, I didn’t know what they say. But now I find they do their effort to say something.
“Everything I do is 100% from-the-heart genuine, nothing I do is satire or fake.” Andrew W.K ever said like that. “My main goal all along, was to be part of something in which I wasn’t turned away. And that’s what we’re doing with the music: reaching out to everybody, no matter who you are, and inviting them to be included in this party.”
“I Get Wet” by Andrew W.K

You watch what I say,

As Lady Gaga is so hot at present, more and more people attemp to steal credit from Lady Gaga. But now one woman, Yana Morgana, claims Lady Gaga stole credit from her late daughter Lina Morgana who committed suicide at age 19. She said it is her daughter shaping Lady Gaga into the superstar she is today. It seems Lady Gaga will never happily enjoy her fame without trouble.
Lina’s ex-manager says Gaga did write some of the musician’s songs, and they recorded 12 more together that were not released. Morgana accuses Gaga of stealing her daughter’s “fashion style, performance techniques and dramatic stagecraft,” according to NYPost.com. She also told the paper that Gaga assumed her daughter’s dark side, saying: “[Gaga] talks about having a dark and tragic life, but she had everything she wanted in the world. She went to [the same] high school as Nicky Hilton; her parents were rich. But Lina did have a tough life.” Gaga hit the national stage a month after Lina died.

It is glad to hear that comic strips about Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber will come out. But they are unauthorized. So will you still go to buy them? It is not sure if you can see them in the market, although publisher Darren G. Davis insists his animators are well within their rights to creat comic strips from celebrities’ lives.
Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber have both been animated as part of a series of graphic biographies by Bluewater Productions. And Kenneth Feinswog, the lawyer working for both has threatened legal action against comic book creators. He has served the company with a cease-and-desist letter, threatening to sue Bluewater bosses if the books aren’t pulled.
