Watch Charice Cover The Top 40 Hits


Charice was in Japan last week touring and promoting her album. The young pop star who won as J-Wave's Best New Comer Award also covered some of the Top 40 hits like Only Girl, Telephone and Empire State Of Mind. Now, if only the Hitman can produce  pop songs like these then Charice will for sure gain more fans worldwide.

Lady Gaga Premieres 'Born This Way' Music Video


Lady Gaga premiered the music video of 'Born This Way' today which will make a lot of little monsters happy and jump with joy.

The much hyped video is 7 minutes long with an intro that looked like you're watching Superman and Star Wars. Gaga took the opportunity to preach about the beginning of a new race "without prejudice and more freedom." The intro is actually eye catching but then it was such a let down when she started singing her song on the video.

Let's give her credit for giving us a visually stimulating video (intro only) but she ruined her song because the proper music video doesn't even show what she has been preaching. I was expecting a video to educate us about equality but we get Lady Gaga flirting with that Thierry Mugler model.

Perez Hilton, Gaga's BFF, is boasting that the dancing is superb but it's just similar to what we saw at the Grammy's. This will still be a hit video since all the little monsters will eat anything that their mother will give them but this will not become Gaga's most iconic video.

Watch the Thierry Mugler Fashion show here while below is the official music video of 'Born This Way.'

New Britney Spears Song Snippet: 'The Big Fat Bass' ft Will.I.Am


I like the title of this track. It's unique and it doesn't sound like any other song out there right now. The snippet that the B.E.P frontman has leaked is smokin' hot! The beats are so classy, the powerful piano chords are fantastic and Britney sounded better than ever.

I can see this track becoming a favorite in  all dance clubs. Check out the new snippet for Britney's new song 'The Big Fat Bass' ft Will.I.Am.

Rihanna To Star In The Bodyguard Remake: Other Pop Stars Vying For The Role


There's a rumour circulating that Warner Brothers is set to remake the worldwide smash 'The Bodyguard.' The original movie paired Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner and became one of the studio's biggest hit grossing $411 million worldwide. The film also sold over 42 million albums making it the best-selling soundtrack of all time.

According to the source, "The new film will be similar, inluding the love story but the bodyguard will be a former Iraq War veteran who gets the job protecting the star as his first gig after leaving the Army.” The bodyguard will find his job more difficult after he discovers that Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and gossip bloggers makes it easier to stalk and harrass a celebrity.

Now the big question is who will be chosen to play Whitney's character? According to rumour mill, WB is looking for a young star who has a global appeal. Deadline.com is reporting that Rihanna might be the lucky girl to cover 'I Will Always Love You.' This will not be the first role for the 'S&M' singer as she is scheduled to appear opposite Alexander Skarsgard in Battleship. Other stars linked to the movie are Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.

I think in order for the remake to succeed, they should choose someone who can nail Whitney's classic. I don't see Rihanna, Miley or Taylor singing the song that sold 12 million copies worldwide. I can see Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Christina Aguilera and Charice belting it out and putting their own twist to it. Problem is do they have the global appeal?

Or maybe it's better to tap the power of Britney Spears, modify the song into an electropop single with dubstep then wow the viewers with an amazing choreography. Besides, Britney is not new to this experience as she's been into one three or four years ago. They can even change the title of the movie to "The Bodyguard: The Britney Spears Story."

Kidding aside, I think a remake of this film is unnecessary as it might destroy any merits that the original movie has earned.

Robyn To Open For Katy Perry


Swedish pop star Robyn will be opening for Katy Perry on the North American leg for the California Dreams Tour.

“It’ll be fun touring with Katy Perry,” the Dancing On My Own said. “She’s a terrific performer and I’m really thankful that’s she’s invited me to play for her audience.”

Speaking of Katy, she recently lashed out at the tabloid media calling them 'Filth' for fabricating a feud between her and another pop superstar, Britney Spears.

She recently got in trouble after she posted a message that was critical of some product placements in music videos. The media took it as a stab on Britney Spears after she reportedly received $500,000 for the ads placed on her 'Hold It Against Me' video.

Mrs. Brand responded on Twitter saying "Dear tabloid media aka FILTH: pls note I expressed an overall feeling bout product placement, their roles in vids & the art of them being . . . complimenting or sticking out. Most, if not ALL popsters welcome deals w/products 2 offset costs of big budget vids." She added "I'VE used them in MY vids before & am happy 2b able 2 make a better vid because of. Once AGAIN, stop pitting artists . . . against artist for ur sensational satisfaction & stick to what ur best @: lying, gossiping, exaggerating & overall lending a hand 2 the... ...deterioration of a generation."

Emma Watson Launches Spring/Summer 2011 Collection For People Tree


Style icon Emma Watson launched her third and final collection for People Tree. The spring/summer collection was designed by the 'Harry Potter' actress while she was in University. Aside from designing and modeling the clothes for the fairtrade fashion design label, she also travelled to Bangladesh to see the collection being made by the locals.

The design process continued with me trying on each and every piece to get the fits just as I wanted them, and then I visited Bangladesh to see the clothing actually being made and meet the people making it.

The ethically produced collection boasts gorgeous dresses made from fabrics printed with checks, polka dots and floral designs.

Check out the rest of the spring promo campaign below.

Britney Spears To Perform Five Songs For GMA Special


After the video for the GMA commercial leaked yesterday, the little Britney fan inside me went jumping up and down, danced then cried with joy. It was the first time that Britney Spears talked to her fans without using Twitter so she gave a bit of hope to many that she will be doing some promo for her 'Femme Fetale' album.

Anyway, the San Francisco Chronicle is claiming that the 'Hold It Against Me' singer will be performing five songs. It's not confirmed whether it will be five songs from her new album or it can be a mix of her new and old hits. The time and venue of the taping is not announced yet so watch out for details.

Meanwhile, one of her dancers was interviewed on E! and he said that Britney worked hard and really focused on making the HIAM video her best to date. Watch the video below.

Listen To 'Loser Like Me' And 'Get It Right' - Glee Original Songs


The Glee kids are popular for covering pop hits from Journey to Britney and Lady Gaga songs. However, the creators of Glee are putting a new twist by featuring original songs for the musical hit.

This morning, Ryan Seacrest premiered the first two songs written specifically for the show.

'Loser Like Me' is an upbeat pop track written and produced by Max Martin who was responsible for some hits by Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson.



The second track was written for Lea Michele, the lead actress who plays Rachel in the show. Adam Anders, the music producer for Glee was inspired by Lea's storyline when he co-wrote this ballad.
It is a song about getting the feeling that 'Your good isn't good enough.'

Both tracks are included in 'Glee: The Music, Volume 5' and will also be featured in the Glee broadcast on March 15.

Madonna's 'Vogue' is blaring from the speakers while the models strutted down the runway with colourful alphabets splashed everywhere from leggings, tees, oversized sweaters, boyfriend jackets, chiffon shirts and maxidresses.

The pompom dresses will definitely be a favorite as they show the fun side of being a fashionista.

Gucci Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011






I can smell style and luxury. Gucci opened the Fashion Week in Milan with amazingly bold tones and colours.

Britney Spears To Perform On GMA March 29



At last, Britney Spears emerges from her cocoon and spoken for the first time to promote her upcoming performance on Good Morning America on March 29, 2011.

The 'Femme Fetale' singer appears like she had a cold when she shot the commercial for her GMA mini concert. Her voice sounded a bit deeper than normal but she looked so stunning and happy.

I'm happy her team leaked this commercial as a lot of Britney fans are being disgruntled because of the lack of promo from her team.

Watch the clip below.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1,199, with a 2.3 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 CPU, Intel’s HD graphics 3000, and a 320 GB hard drive, and can be upgraded to a 2.7 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 CPU and a 500 GB hard drive for $1,499.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro is also available as two models: One starts at $1,799 with a 2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 CPU, AMD Radeon HD 6490M and a 500 GB hard drive, and the other has a 2.2 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 CPU, AMD Radeon HD 6750M and 750 GB hard drive starting at $2,199.
