New Track

Lindsay Lohan’s current mood is “betrayed” (cue angry emoticon), and she’s not going to take it anymore.

In a blog post published on her MySpace page late Wednesday night, the actress lashed out at her estranged father, Michael, calling him “a public embarrassment and a bully” for speaking to celebrity gossip site X17Online.com and accusing Lohan’s reported girlfriend, DJ Samantha Ronson, of using his daughter to vault herself to fame.

He walked away from this summer’s Olympic Games with a record-setting eight gold medals. So what’s swimming sensation Michael Phelps going to do next? Well, after his requisite trip to Disney World — he’ll be heading out to Los Angeles’ Paramount Pictures Studios on September 7 to hand out a Moonman or two during the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

The Game’s third and final album, L.A.X., is an iconic dosage of gangsta rap that marks a throwback to some of the genre’s classic records.

After nearly abandoning everyone that helped him make his way to his debut record, The Documentary, The Game has run the risk of turning in one hell of a short career. His sophomore album, The Doctor’s Advocate, sold several million copies fewer than his debut and his foray into film (Waist Deep) was ludicrous.

Lee Osborne denied being involved in the drug related killing of 29-year-old Jon Bartlett, last week, as alleged gunman John Seton, 24, went on trial at the Old Bailey. The hotly tipped British hard house producer is accused of giving Seton a new phone, renting a transit van for him and harbouring him until he could flee to Holland where he was arrested last year and extradited to England.

To my way of thinking, The Beatles plus The Smithereens equals a must-have addition to my music collection.   So I knew that I would like the Smitties upcoming release B-Sides The Beatles.  After listening to it this past week I can tell you this…

For many years polio (poliomyelitis) was a dreaded specter that hovered over parents with small children, and the very thought of it scared a lot of families beyond reason. I can remember being warned about everything from touching green flies to putting my mouth on public drinking fountains, although I'm not sure how well I heeded the advice. An uncle of mine had polio as a boy and remained physically affected for his entire life, although he did cope very well with his limitations.

Jimmy's newest hit, “Do You Believe Me Now,” is one of those songs. I’m driving in the car and the song comes on and I squeal, “Oh my God! I love this song!” I’ll turn it up and it will just make my day.Jimmy Wayne’s voice is soft and poetic. It’s just so beautiful.

So it’s no surprise that “Do You Believe Me Now” is doing well on the charts.

This is the second article in an occasional series on collecting.

In just two short weeks, the Beatles’ first contract goes to auction in London. This historic piece of Beatles memorabilia is sure to attract bidders from around the globe, as well as the obligatory press feeding frenzy. The announcement stated that The Fame Bureau, the London-based company sponsoring the auction at London's Idea Generation Gallery, was anticipating bids in the £250,000 range, but my money says it will pull in at least double that amount.

Selena Gomez has the pipes to make it as a solo artist. She dazzled when she sang a remake of the Disney song, “Cruella de Vil.” Selena does not want to be a solo artist, but she does want to sing. Like her rumored boyfriend teen hottie Nick Jonas, the Wizards of Waverly Place star wants to form a band where she will sing, but will also play other instruments.
