Glee Songs

There weren’t as many songs covered on “Glee” on this week’s episode but with the tear-jerker that it was, I’m glad that they didn’t go over the top with any productions. To go with auditions to determine who will get the lead for nationals, Naya Rivera (Santana) took on Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black”, Chris Colfer (Kurt) performed “Some People” from “Gypsy: A Musical Fable”, Amber Riley (Mercedes) sang “Try a Little Tenderness” by Otis Redding, and Lea Michele sang Barbra Streisand’s “My Man”. For the funeral, the New Directions sang “Pure Imagination” from the soundtrack of “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory”. What did you think of the covers?

Prince will always welcome Whitney Houston

 

It seems that someone in Prince’s crew has decided that it might not be a good idea to have Whitney Houston around given that she’s been having a few behavioral issues… and issues of other natures. However, Prince immediately sought to make things right again and had this to say about Whitney Houston: "she’s always welcome 4 all of eternity." And now everything is as it should be… and if something unpleasant should happen, then it can all be pinned on Prince… and afterwards forgotten. It’s not like anyone is going to stay too mad at him… how could they?

Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj Feud Reignites

 

The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim has escalated once again earlier this week via Twitter as the younger rapper apparently attempted to start some crap against the veteran with a tweet saying “Lil’ Kim U Next”, and then quickly deleting it. However, Nicki wasn’t fast enough as Kim got word of it and responded with a series of tweets reading “What type of coward lame ass bitch tweets some shit and then deletes it. REAL bitches stand by what they say BOZO… You cheap stocking cap glued $10 bag hair wig wearing bitch. Get a lace front!!! FYI Indian hair don’t come in green BITCH… You free lunch eating bitch…WHAT!!! Bitch I see you crawling!!! I got my can of RAID. Come get it!!! #TwitterRoach !!!!” This is one feud that just refuses to die.

Stevie Nicks Rumored to Perform at Glastonbury

Rumors have been floating around that Stevie Nicks has just been added to the line up for the Glastonbury Festival this summer. Now, nothing is official as of yet, but there are a couple of reputable sources that have been going off about it on Twitter since earlier this week. Furthermore, the iconic rock singer’s involvement isn’t totally out of the realm of possibility. Stevie is already confirmed to play Hyde Park on June 26th and Glastonbury is just the week before. If she’s in town by that time, she could very well be playing. For the sake of everyone going to Glastonbury, I hope Stevie does perform. It will be epic!

Shakira makes even more donations

It seems that the singer is among those artists that have not yet forgotten the plight through which Haiti went a few months ago and has recently donated 400,000 dollars toward the rebuilding of a school. Moreover, Shakira’s donation will also be matched by the Inter-American Development Bank. This is what Shakira had to say about her donation to Haiti: “I’m convinced the key to achieve a dignified future for the Haitian people is through education. I’d like to say to the girls that this is an enormous opportunity that life is offering you – education. So make the most of it because I’m sure you can achieve any of your dreams.” Pretty big words being said here by Shakira… still, she does seem to have the wallet to go with them.

Aussie model Lara Bingle triggers questions over driving offences

spl156922_004.jpg

Aussie Model Lara Bingle who is famous for the So where the bloody hell are you? TV campaign to promote Australia has apparently revealed she got her friends to admit to some of her driving offences. The star, former fiance of Australian cricketer Michael Clarke, was interviewed on Sydney radio station 2DayFm today (March 24), and appeared to suggest she got friends to give up some of their points for her numerous offences, in an attempt to stay on the road. The 23-year-old, talking about how she came to eventually lose her licence, said, It was like a loss of points. I just had too many fines I took some from my friends. Radio host Kyle Sandilands then said, That’s totally illegal. Lara, who has been pictured making out with US star Jason Derulo, later took to Twitter to deny any wrongdoing. She said, Just to clarify I never took any of my friends points regarding their licence. I said it in sarcasm. End of story. LB. It is unlikely she will face any police investigation. A spokesman for New South Wales Police said, Unless Lara was stupid enough to reveal all the names of those people who allegedly gave up their points, we cannot investigate.

Melanie B wants yet another Spice Girls get together

It seems that the former Spice Girl has seen the benefits that can be wrought from reunions, especially given the excellent example set by Take That, so she has recently expressed her desire for another some such event for her former band. This is what Melanie B said about the idea of a Spice Girls reunion: “I’d love to get back with the Spice Girls. I’ve always championed more Spice Girls concerts, DVDs and music. But we haven’t had that conversation as a group yet and I can’t speak on everyone’s behalf.” Well, if Melanie B were to point out what came of Take That getting back together with Robbie Williams she would probably be convincing enough to make her little wish come true.

Billy Joel’s relationship with Elton John on the rocks

Even though Billy Joel doesn’t admit it, it seems that he’s reasonably pissed off with Elton John’s comments about his stint in rehab. According to Elton John, Billy Joel only experienced “rehab lite”, however, the singer had this to say about such comments: “I’ve enjoyed our relationship too much to let something as random as these comments change my affection for him. Elton is just being Elton.” There sure sounds like there’s some anger in there somewhere… still, it’s not like it’s uncalled for. Elton John seems to be pretty condescending when it comes to getting over substance abuse. Billy Joel is in full rights to be pissed off.
