Two days ago DJ Tiesto was victim of a bad joke on Twitter. According to the rumors circulating on Twitter, Tiesto died in a car accident on the Interstate 80 in the USA. While the internet users tried to figure out what happened, Tiesto was posting on his Twitter account: “It is so nice to see that people care about me. Thank you for all your support. I’m happy to be alive and getting so much attention from you all”. In another message sent to a friend on Twitter, Tiesto said, amusing himself :”Jesus invited me to dine with Him, and to watch the Spain – Germany game. You want to come?”.
It sure looks like the Poison singer really isn’t having one of his better years. After only a short while ago being released from the hospital after suffering a very serious brain hemorrhage, now Bret Michaels has heart problems as his doctor relates: “There is no doubt that the positive Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is devastating news to Bret and his family. The good news is that it is operable and treatable and we think we may have diagnosed the problem that caused the Transient Ischemic Attach (TIA) or warning stroke; however we feel it is highly unlikely this is connected to the brain hemorrhage he suffered just a few weeks earlier.” Strike two for Bret Michaels’ managers, they’re probably the ones that are going to have serious heart problems if this keeps happening.
It sure didn’t take her too long to make an acting career for herself. It seems the Scottish singing sensation is currently lined-up for the 25th anniversary production of “Les Miserables”. This is what a source said about Susan Boyle’s new career opportunity: The tenth anniversary of the show was released as a video and CD. They are keen to do the same for the quarter century.” Well, well, it sure seems like Susan Boyle has her work cut out for her. What’s next: TV show, judge on a “talent show”… oh, the sheer number of possibilities and fortunes that may befall her.
Mexican singer Luis Miguel has been hospitalized in Los Angeles at the Cedars-Sinai Hospital. His reps have managed to keep the news on the down low and have not released much information about how he is doing. According to new reports, an inside source is saying that Luis is in critical condition. The insider reveals that the singer was actually getting some cosmetic work done and something went wrong during his procedure. During some routine liposuction work around his abdomen, the singer ended up getting a bacterial infection through his blood which has spread to his organs and lungs. I hope he gets better soon.
Though she has been on hiatus from her music career for the last seven years, Jennifer Knapp, a well-known and celebrated singer is the Christian community, has come out to say that she is a lesbian. I just hope she continues to be as celebrated once she decides to revive her career. She revealed that the last few years were to re-evaluate her life as a gay woman and that the term coming out is bizarre to her. She also admits that she’s currently dating someone that makes the moment all the sweeter. I’m happy for her. Being true to yourself is always the most important thing. Let’s hope her fans feel the same.
Mariah Carey is planning to make her life into a stage musical. The only good news about all this is that she has the good sense to not play herself. The curvaceous singer does have someone absolutely fabulous in mind to play her though – Leona Lewis. An insider said “Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis playing her. Not only is she exotic, she’s the only one who they reckon would be able to tackle Mariah’s eight-octave vocal range.” I wonder if the score will feature just Mariah’s music. If that’s the case, I’m pretty sure this won’t push through.
It looks like JLS are really feeling the not so nice perks of being such a popular boy band, and Aston Merrygold is here to tell how this can happen. The singer from JLS is here to tell us how this can be: “We might get a bottle of champagne between us, and some girls feel that because they’re pretty they can just walk over, pick up the bottle, and pour themselves a glass! Many a time I’ll say seriously, ‘Put the bottle down!’ Then they’ll tell me that I’m rude.” These boy band fans are really getting more and more unruly, aren’t they? Maybe Aston Merrygold shoul propose to JLS that they punish them somehow… stop selling albums or something. That will teach them!
Boyzone singer Stephen Gately died while at his holiday home in Majorca three months ago and it has been determined by a pathologist that he passed away due to natural causes. The late pop star had been drinking heavily and smoking marijuana shortly before he passed but neither of those factors were attributed to the cause of death. The autopsy revealed that Stephen had an undiagnosed hearth condition that thickened his arteries causing cardiac arrest and ultimately his death. There were no signs of violence or foul play. With this information, I hope the family and friends that he left behind can finally find peace.
Following the accusations that his fund is not really using the money it has in the most altruistic of ways, Wyclef Jean sent out a message to all of the accusers. In it he speaks of how he just got back from Haiti, from digging up dead children and finding cemeteries for them, but the reason for which he came back was that he would clarify this whole thing with the funds. Of course, Wyclef Jean will be going back to Haiti every couple of days, but this is where things get puzzling: why would he leave for such a trivial thing as a few accusations instead of staying there and actually helping out? Helping out with his own two little hands, as much as he can… what happened to that determination? Or was sleeping in a barracks not hefty enough for Wyclef Jean. The message came as a youtube video… couldn’t he had filmed and posted that from Haiti… in between saving a few children? Why fly all the way back to the US for one little, five-minute message?
Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood dated another Russian beauty to make ex-girlfriend Katia jealous, according to UK reports.
Wood, 62, reportedly wanted the 21-year-old former waitress to see he was with another girl when she comes out of the Celebrity Big Brother house.
However, his plans were scuppered when the girl, Hannah Kamelmacher, 26, called time on their short romance after three days.
A source said: “Ronnie only paraded Hannah to show Katia that he can still pull a younger woman.
“He’s certain Katia won’t last much longer in the House, and when she gets out, she’ll find he’s been out with another young Russian. He thinks it will make her crazy.”
Georgi Dochi, a young Bulgarian model who was present the night that Boyzone singer Stephen Gately tragically died, is now coming forward with some shocking new information. According to him, he, Stephen and the late singer’s partner Andy Cowles were in a two year relationship with one another. Georgi told a Bulgarian radio station that the three mean met regularly and that he had sexual relations with both of them. He also revealed that the night before Stephen’s death, the men had a threesome on the sofa – the same sofa Stephen was found lying dead in the following morning. I wonder what Andy has to say about this.
Local news stations in St. Louis, Missouri reported that Nelly’s home was almost invaded last week. According to St. Louis County police, there were some people inside the rapper’s home at the time of the incident. They called the cops reporting that someone was breaking in and as soon as the police arrived, the suspect took off. The burglar is being described as a black male in his 20s or 30s, with a mustache and glasses and was wearing a black coat at the time of the incident. There’s really not much to go on. Thankfully, nothing was stolen and more importantly, no one got hurt.
Well, only figuratively speaking… the singer is apparently very keen on being part of Meat Loaf’s musical that bears the name “Bat out of Hell”. This is what Pixie Lott said on the matter: “That would be wicked, it would be so much fun. I really want to do ‘Chicago.’ My managers told me that the Meat Loaf musical “Bat Out Of Hell” is coming to London and he said that would be good to consider and would suit my voice.” Well, maybe the musical might suit Pixie Lott’s voice, but there’s a wee problem with her name. Seriously, how many pixies can you picture involved in a musical called “Bat out of Hell”? Pixie Lott might consider getting a new alias for this one.
DJ AM’s estate is suing for wrongful death against Clay Lacy Aviation, the company that chartered the plane that crashed in South Carolina which carried both DJ AM and Travis Barker. Additionally, they are suing Goodyear Tire, Learjet and the estates of both pilots who were killed in the crash. According to the lawsuit, they’re claiming wrongful death because the crash was the ultimate cause of the entertainer’s death. It also makes note that the DJ was forced to take drugs as a result of not only the burns he suffered from the crash but also to deal with emotional distress. I’m not so sure about all of this.
The singer who recently filmed a commercial in which she appears together with her dogs insisted that she is no way a diva. Mariah Carey’s words really do tell the entire story: “My puppies are starring in this ad with me, too. I had my team with me but the pups had a mini entourage of their own, of course! And why wouldn’t they? It was a big shoot and even my entourage had an entourage – my stylist had an assistant, my security had extra security. The shoot was based on the fact that some people think I’m a demanding diva. I have no idea why people have that impression!” So, not only is Mariah Carey a diva, but she’s also giving those around her that diva-like behavior. You can just picture one of her bodyguards hiring his own muscle and giving the fact that he is the one protects Mariah Carey as a reason for him needing protection.
Rockband Blink 182 have donated $100,000 to burns centre.
Travis Barker, 33, and the rest of the band are donating a bulk of money to the burn centre that saved Barker’s life after he was involved in a plane crash in Columbia back in 2008.
After a recent show in Georgia, the band said they were going to give $100,000 to the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia.
Travis wants to donate the money “in recognition of their tremendous care and aid of Travis Barker through his recovery from the 2008 plane crash”.
Bianca Jagger and an Austrian millionaire who found a ring she lost, have moved toward settling a dispute over a reward she refused to pay.
The ring is worth 200,000 euros. Reinhard Ringler will suspend the lawsuit he filed against Jagger to finalise a deal over the unpaid 10,000 euro reward, said his lawyer, Paul Kreuzberger.
Austrian law mandates that Jagger pay Mr Ringler five per cent of the ring’s value. The two parties now have a three-month cooling off period to work out a settlement.
Jagger claims Ringler took too long to return the platinum and aquamarine ring, which she had designed herself. Jagger, an ex-wife of Rolling Stone Mick, lost the ring in Salzburg last August.
Ringler has claimed he gave the ring to his 13-year-old daughter after finding it in a Salzburg hotel. He said he thought it was worthless and only recognised what it was after seeing press reports. He took the ring to the police within eight days of the reports.
Jagger made an alternative offer in November to pay 9,000 euros to Amnesty International and the remaining 1,000 euros to Ringler’s daughter. But Ringler filed a lawsuit in February.
Rolling Stone guitarist Ronnie Wood has agreed to give his ex wife Jo half of his fortune after settling his divorce out of court.
The 62-year-old musician will hand over the couple’s £12 million (£9 million) former marital home in Kingston, south-west London.
She will also get a lump sum of £11.5 million as well as a substantial monthly allowance.
The deal comes after eight months of talks with the couple’s lawyers after Wood left Jo, 53, for a 19 year-old Russian waitress.
Jo is also reported to want Wood to sell his £4 million ($6.5 million) Irish home in County Kildare, where he took Ekaterina Ivanova when they first started having the affair which would end their marriage.
A Los Angeles judge has denied Katherine Jackson’s petition for control over her late son’s estate – ruling in favour of Jackson’s long-time lawyer and a family friend.
At the Los Angeles Superior Court today, Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled that lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain should be the conservators of Jackson’s estate.
The superstar’s mother, who did not appear at the hearing, had filed an application to be the conservator of the pop legend’s estate before a will emerged, which was drafted in 2002, stating that Branca and McClain would be in control of the estate in the event of Jackson’s death.
Lawyers for Katherine Jackson wanted Judge Beckloff to delay the decision, as they said the family were concerned about Branca’s relationship with the singer before he died.
One of Katherine Jackson’s lawyers, John Schreiber, argued that he was suspicious that Branca had rejoined Jackson just weeks before the singer’s death, and claimed that Branca is unfit to look after the estate – which is estimated to be worth around $500m – because he suffers from a disability.
But Judge Beckloff refused Schrieber’s claims and ruled in favour of Jackson’s will.
