Glee’s Charice Takes on Shania Twain Song
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos, Covers
If you don’t regularly watch Oprah Winfrey or Ellen DeGeneres, there’s a very good chance you don’t know who Charice is. But if you’re a fan of Glee, you soon will.
Next fall, the YouTube sensation from the Philippines will join the hit FOX show in a recurring role. It’s been reported the 18-year-old will play a talented foreign exchange student who brings out the jealousy in Rachel Berry (Lea Michele).
After hearing Charice cover Shania Twain’s “Still the One,” I wouldn’t be surprised to see other Glee characters green with envy as well. I only wish Twain could have heard a performance like this one when she mentored American Idol.

This has got to be one of the coolest things we’ve seen in a while.
A Lewisville, Texas choir recently got a nice surprise during their trip to New Orleans. While performing Lenny Kravitz‘s “Fly Away,” the First Baptist Church members attracted a nice crowd - and an appearance from the artist himself.
Lenny, who just happened to be in the area having a drink, heard the music and simply decided he wanted to join in. Fortunately, the Voice of Praise choir singers realized who he was!

Quote of the Day: Eminem on His Success
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, The Charts, Hip-Hop & Rap
“I don’t think I’ve actually stopped to think about it. I never thought that my life would amount to this. But to be able to sit back and digest it is so strange to me, because I still feel so regular. I don’t understand what people think the big deal is about me. It’s a very strange relationship that I have with fame.”
-Rapper Eminem on his success and being crowned the best-selling artist of the last decade.

Musician Vince Neil is finally home sweet home after spending some time overnight in a Nevada jail.
According to police, the Motley Crue singer was arrested at approximately 11:15 Sunday evening for suspicion of DUI. A spokesperson for the Las Vegas Police Department said Vince’s black Lamborghini was pulled over following some sort of accident.
The 49-year-old, who lives in the Las Vegas area, was later let go on $2000 bail. He is expected to appear in court on September 29.
Although it’s not believed there were any injuries related to last night’s detainment, Vince does have a history of drunken driving. Back in 1984, passenger Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley was killed after Neil struck another vehicle head-on.
Vince, who had a BAC of .17 at the time of the crash, later served less than a month in jail and performed 200 hours of community service. He also paid $2.5 million in restitution to the victims and their families.

VIDEO: Lady Gaga Performs Brand New Song
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos, Pop
UPDATE: Lady Gaga said in a tweet that the song was “written in NY on the piano” she grew up on.
It wouldn’t be an authentic Lady Gaga performance if the singer didn’t do something to keep the audience on their toes.
During the recent 12th Annual White Tie & Tiara Ball, Gaga chose to introduce a song no one had ever heard before. The record, titled “You and I,” was perfectly suited for an event benefitting the Elton John AIDS Foundation. (Couldn’t you just imagine those two artists playing it together at their own pianos?)
Although Gaga said she didn’t think the “rock ‘n’ roll tune” would ever be released as a single, I actually think it could do quite well. What do you think?
