The Dishing Diva

Nick, Kevin and Joe posed for photographers at the 2009 Kids’ Choice Awards, held at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion on Saturday night (March 28) in Westwood, Calif.

The brothers took over Radio Disney on Friday afternoon when they put on an acoustic performance.

They had this to say about their upcoming tour:

“We’ve got new songs, new production elements and new instruments as well. In this new record, we tried to add some different sounds. We’ve been working a lot with horns. After we did the Grammy performance with Stevie Wonder, we had the five horn players behind us. We were like, ‘We should do this to our music and add this different sound to it.’ We incorporated it in our record and we’ll be playing with them this summer!”

Apparently there is a bit of hissing going on by parents about the Pussycat Dolls and whether they should have even been on the KCAs at all. Many felt that they’re not kid appropriate. I’ve read several blogs and am stunned at how many have been complainting about how provocatively they were dressed.

Taylor Swift is on the cover of the March 2009 of Rolling Stone.

The article’s caption reads, “The world’s biggest new pop star is a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll, and all control freak.”

Nashville’s little princess took to her blog to talk about how honored she is to be on the famed magazine’s cover. She said:

“I’m so excited, I can’t even stand it. It’s on news stands now, and I haven’t seen it yet because I’m in London, but I just can’t believe I get to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Wow. This is crazy.”

I’m not loving her hairstyle for the cover photo as it’s normally so sleek and shiny, but whatever, she’s a talented girl and it’s nice to see she’s thrilled and excited to be recognized.

In a shameless move to boost US sales, Lily Allen just posted the following message on her official blog:

“Ok, so I never thought I would have to write this blog. Earlier today my record company told me “its not me it’s you” (my ne w album) has a pretty good chance of going to number 1 in the US charts this week. Im currently sitting behing Alison krauss and Robert plant, who, quite rightly are sitting at no 1 . ive never had a number one album in England , never mind the US ,and all of this is a bit crazy . I could well be up for no1 here(America ) , which makes me want to cry a bit . Iv’e never begged you to buy from me ever,but I am now . this will be the only time ever in my life that this could happen for me. Help me get to no 1 , go to I tunes and download the album, you’re the only hope ive got guys. Ill love you forever.

Ps thank you to everyone who has brought me this far.

I love you always x”

Girl has got to do what she’s got to do to make it to number 1. I kind of like her new album cover. Simple, fresh, kind of sassy… like her!

A mixed blessing happened today. Michael Lohan is giving up his blog which is a very good thing for Lindsay and the rest of their family as it will hopefully put an end to all of the scandalous private family gossip that he was subjecting the world to.

Wonder if Lindsay’s legal team served him with some papers that finally convinced him to stop his public criticisim of her?

Daddy Lohan posted this statement on his blog:

“Well here you have it. My final blog. And for those of you who are doubters or knockers, let me say that I never took a penny for my blog or anything I ever did for any of my children. I did what I did, out of love and concern, regardless of any of your opinions. I did it to help them, advance their careers and give them hope. I taught them [His kids] that anything is possible if you really want it enough, and that when your heart is in the right place, God will make it all happen!

And although I have full confidence in Jonathan Jaxson (Who is the mastermind behind some of the best stories/blogs out there.), I have to say that when it comes to my innocent children, who are at risk and have nothing to do with the situation at hand, I have to respect their request. (ie “I was issued a cease and desist.”)

Before I go, however, I must say that I received a text message from a very close and dear friend of Lindsay’s who I trust and admire. The text said, “between you and me you are doing the right thing. From what I hear, from Lindsay’s nearest and dearest friends, Lindsay is worse off than ever since she she has been with Sam. I told Dina that Lindsay needs you back in her life, and I think you know that I was the one who really helped Linds get into rehab.”

Without divulging this person’s identity, let me say that I know this person and I trust him/her very much. As a matter of fact, I spent time with him/her and wish that he/she was still part of Lindsay’s life.

For the record, when it comes to sexual preference, I am not biased. What matters most is the substance of an individual rather than their preference.It is the love and intent behind the relationship that matters. Something I can not give much credence to when it comes to Samantha. Just look at Samantha’s tax returns before she “engaged” Lindsay, and then after! Look at Lindsay’s career before Samantha and after! Look at all the things Lindsay accomplished and had going for her before Samantha and after. And finally, consider how Lindsay spent every holiday with her family before she met Samantha and then after. Would Lindsay ever leave her little sister in LA with Jenni, and leave with Samantha like she recently did when she went to Boston?! NEVER!

I was with Lindsay when she got out of Cirque Lodge. I saw and experienced the “old Lindsay” with so much hope and promise. I had full confidence in her. Then back came Samantha! Can’t you all see this? Am I speaking to stone walls? (No Michael, you’re speaking to padded walls) All I ask that you put your selves in my shoes and HONESTLY consider what you would do.

As I said, this is my final blog, and I hope what I have said and expressed to you and Lindsay, have a positive effect on your lives.

God Bless you ALL, be well and thank you for your input. Good, bad, positive, or negative, I have learned a lot from all of you.

Be Blessed!!!!”

Kelly Clarkson wrote this on her official blog:

“THANK YOU!!!!! THANK Y’ALL SO MUCH FOR REQUESTING AND VOTING FOR MY NEW SINGLE!!! IT’S DOING SO GREAT BECAUSE OF Y’ALL SO THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

“My personal favorite song at the moment (and partly do [sic] to my sister because she NEVER stops listening to it) is ‘Gives You Hell’ by the All-American Rejects! Great, great song! If you’re living under a rock and haven’t heard it yet then go and download it, it’s awesome!

“I’m about to start rehearsing the new record with the band and my first performance of ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ will be in the Bahamas …..so not too bad, very excited about that! ….So is the band ha! Just saw the final cut of my video which y’all will be seeing soon and it’s super cute! You ladies will love the leading man, Houston, and all you fellas out there ….well, y’all are stuck with me ha! just kidding

“Finished the Twilight books (so did my mom and sister) and we cannot wait for the next movie New Moon. Do not judge us, we cannot help ourselves Now my sister and I are going to read a classic ‘The Divine Comedy’. Although, it’s a classic it doesn’t have Edward Cullen in it so I pray it holds my attention ha! peace out, kelly.”

Her song “My Life Would Suck Without You” is currently sitting at the coveted #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. She shot up from the 97th spot in one week, breaking the previous record held by Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” who in one week landed a number one spot from a #96 spot.

Congrats Kelly!

The 6-year-old son of Backstreet Boys’ singer Brian Littrell has been receiving treatment in hospital for an undisclosed illness, according to his Web site.

Says the BSB member:

For those of you who do not know or have not heard, Baylee Litrell has been in the hospital for the past few days. He will be starting a treatment this afternoon and the Littrell family asks that all Backstreet Boys fans please remember him in prayer during this trying time. Every little prayer helps and every single prayer counts! Brian and Leighanne would also like to wish you all Happy Holidays and thank for your thoughts and prayers….

I was surfing the net, to give you guys some dishing updates and I heard one of the blog’s call Britney the Mad Hatter. It is absolutely perfect, because I think she has slightly gone mad. I am not sure why she is actually doing these Mini Tours. It doesn’t really make sense! Why doesn’t she just focus on her new album then go on tour. Her current concerts are just a disaster with all the lip synching, the CD skipping, trashy outfits, and the terrible dancing. To me it just looks cheap. Britney should be focusing on her family and her kids. I think she would have gained more popularity if she was photographed with her kids more often, than walking around town like a Mad Hatter.
