Katy Perry’s Willy Wonka Birthday
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Pop

Katy Perry celebrated her 25th birthday with a Willy Wonka-styled event on Saturday.
The “Hot N Cold” singer held the bash at The Sunset Beach nightspot in Los Angeles and guests - who had been told to wear white - were left covered head-to-toe in paint. “They got a little crazy with the paint. I wasn’t expecting it but everyone got painted - even Taylor Swift!” an attendee said.
The party - which was inspired by Wonka’s workshop from Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - had Oompah Loompahs running around and a huge variety of candy and chocolate.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand an Item
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Pop

Katy Perry is secretly kissing Russell Brand - and she likes it.
The “Hot N Cold” singer was whisked away to Thailand on a romantic break with the presenter after impressing him with a picture of her breasts after they met at the MTV Video Music Awards last month. A source said:
“When they were both in New York for the music awards Russell finally got his chance to work his charm on her. Katy knows his bad boy reputation but could not resist - especially when Russell sent a love poem with a note attached saying, ‘Please send me a poem back.’ Russell killed himself laughing when Katy sent a photo of her boobs with the word ‘poem’ scrawled across them. The next minute Russell picked up the phone and invited her to Thailand for a secret getaway.”

Michael Jackson Remembered By Stars
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Industry News, Pop, Rock
We gve you a look at celebrities mourning Michael Jackson on Twitter, but many have released longer statements as well. Madonna says she “can’t stop crying” about the death of Michael Jackson.
The singer has been sobbing uncontrollably since she heard the 50-year-old Jackson had passed away yesterday after suffering a cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home. She said: “I can’t stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless.”
Singer Sir Elton John was halfway though his annual White Tie and Tiara Ball when he heard about Michael’s death. He broke the news to his guests - including Liz Hurley, Hugh Grant, Lily Allen and Kelly Osbourne - before dedicating his song Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me to Michael. Nearly half of his guests left after they found out about the death.
Britney Spears was one of the first to express her grief about the pop icon’s passing. In a statement issued last night, she said: “I was so excited to see his show in London. We were going to be on tour in Europe at the same time and I was going to fly in to see him. He has been an inspiration throughout my entire life and I’m devastated he’s gone!”

Coldplay, Leona Lewis Top iTunes’ 2008 Sales
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: The Charts, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop, Rock, iTunes


Earlier this year at the 2008 Oscars, American actors walked away empty-handed. Now American musicians are being pushed aside by the British Invasion.
According to the Associated Press, this year’s best iTunes sellers were performers from across the pond. Topping the album charts was Coldplay’s Viva la Vida. Although the company does not reveal actual sales numbers, a majority of the band’s digital sales (500,000 since June) were apparently purchased through iTunes. (More than 2 million copies of Viva have been sold overall.) The other artists in the Top 5 include Jack Johnson (Sleep Through the Static), the Juno soundtrack, Lil Wayne (Tha Carter III) and Sara Bareilles (Little Voice).

Katy Perry Falls Hard - Again and Again and Again
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Videos, Pop, Rock
In some MTV performances, it’s the lead singer’s intention to end up on the ground. (Remember Madonna’s classic Like a Virgin number?) Unfortunately, that was not the case for Katy Perry last night.
At yesterday’s MTV Latin America bash, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer gave the foreign audience something to remember the American by. Perry - who coincidentally used a cake as a prop like Madonna - thought it would be entertaining to dive into the large dessert at the end of her song. Unfortunately for her, the entertainment she provided was clearly unscripted.
The embarrassment begins around the 4:00 mark.
