Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins has been all over the media these days singing the praises of Jessica Simpson lately. Last week, he proclaimed that if people knew Jess the way he knew her, they would love her like he does. Who know Billy Corgan had all those warm fuzzies inside of him? Today, Billy is taking his love for Jessica to a whole new level and is standing up for her by slamming John Mayer for the recent low-brow sexual remarks that he made about Jessica to Playboy magazine. This was Billy’s thoughts on the whole situation;
“He’s trying to destroy his career. Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction, some part of it is irritating his soul to the point where he’s trying to blow it up. Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, standing on the sidelines, it’s hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground speaking as somebody who’s done it…I think for any person who has celebrity to sort of drop rocks at somebody else’s feet like that, there’s things you should really just keep your mouths shut on. There’s things that should just be left alone.”
WOW! Very well said and surprisingly not belligerent at all! Who would have ever thunk that Billy Corgan would be Jess’ night in shining armor? It’s adorable actually…
Evanescence front-woman, Amy Lee, recently opened up about what we can expect from the new album that the band is currently recording. Amy is excited with the new LP and says that the band is having “fun with music” by experimenting with a new, electro-driven sound.
“It’s not an organic record. Our idea is to take synthetic and atmospheric sounds and find a way to blur the line between organic and synthetic… There is something really cool happening in music right now. There are bands that sound like they’re from another time — it’s like ’80s throwback music with analogue synthesizers and Moogs. I love it. I’ve been listening to a lot of La Roux.”
Amy also sited other bands such as MGMT, CCS, Depeche Mode, Massive Attack & Portishead as inspirations for the new direction and says that the new record will be “rhythmically driven”…
“There’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t sound like Evanescence, but the heart of the band of still there. This is a really, really, rhythmically driven record. So there’s tons of drum-programming fused with live drums.”
Sounds very exciting… Can’t wait to hear the new material!
We all knew that Chris Brown was a douche bag, but I’m actually surprised with the new all-time low that he’s resorting too… Begging! Yes, Mr. Brown is still feeling the backlash of brutally beating his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, and is literally begging his fans (which are self loathing girls & fellow woman beaters) to help get him back on the radio! The fading star took to SayNow.com to leave a his fans a desperate plea for their help…
“I ain’t never really did this but right now I need all of my fans help. A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. It’s on the fans and what you guys do in your power to bring me back. That’s all I need is you guys and nothing else will do that except for the fans…”
The begging, doesn’t stop there… There’s a lot more desperation but I’ll let you listen for yourself…
Here’s a little behind the scene’s photo of Madonna’s boyfriend, Jesus Luz, pumping up on the set of his upcoming GQ photoshoot. He’s almost as muscular as she is!
You can add “junior fashion designer” to Madonna’s extensive career resume… Her Madgesty has landed a gig designing a clothing line called Material Girl (of course)geared towards young women between the ages of 13 and 25. The line, which will include clothing shoes, jewelry & accessories is said to be inspired by her daughter Lourdess and will be available exclusively at Macy’s.
Remember the dance-pop act The Vengaboys? Well, they are back and filming a new video for a new song! Apparently the song will be a cover of a Dead or Alive song and will even feature a cameo by Dead or Alive’s lead singer turned tranny, Pete Burns.
Check out the trannicious pic of Pete giving his best Cher impresonation on the set of the video… Kinda creepy!
Miley Cyrus recently sat down with Teen Vogue to discuss her new movie and how her and her hot boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, are “deeper” than the rest of us! When she was asked if she had instant chemistry with Liam, this is how Miely answered;
“Yeah. I think we’re both deeper than normal people—what they think and how they feel. He’s very grateful for what he has, but he doesn’t let it go to his head. I’m like that too.”
LOL!! This is especially funny coming from a Disney puppet. Oh.. She’s just bein’ Miley!
Oh gosh… I’m starting to feel like a “little monster”. Even MORE picture stills have been unveiled from Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” video. Love the beer can hair curlers! Looks like it’s going to be a fun one.
Sia is gearing up to release a new album called We Are Born and has revealed to Pop Justice that the album will include a cover of Madonna’s “Oh Father“. There are very few artists that I could see covering this song and doing it justice, but Sia could actually pull it off!
ENOUGH with the teaser pictures, already… Release the damn video, Lady Gaga! Yet ANOTHER teaser pic from her perpetually pushed back “Telephone” music video…
As of now, the video is suppose to debut on E! News this Thursday!
